Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery to be shut for first time as no Crude Oil
The Ministry of Energy has decided to shut down operations at the Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery from today (15) for the first time in history due to a shortage of crude oil.
Further it is reported that this situation is due to the non-submission of crude oil suppliers to the tenders submitted by Sri Lanka to purchase crude oil.
The trade unions pointed out that due to this, there is a risk of a fuel shortage in the future.
Chairman of the Ceylon Petroleum Storage Terminals Limited Mohamed Uvais said the decision was reached by the Minister of Energy Udaya Gammanpila at a review meeting held Saturday (13) with the participation of officials representing institutions that come under the purview of the Ministry.
The Chairman said various options were discussed during the meeting adding they reached the decision to suspend operations at the Refinery and carry out maintenance and repairs usually scheduled for February.
The Chairman says fuel required for the country for the next 15 days will be available despite the suspension of operations of the Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery.
UPDATE – 04:15 PM :
The Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery will be temporarily closed for 50 days from today (15), Energy Minister Udaya Gammanpila said.
However, he said at a media briefing that there will be no fuel shortage in the country due to closure of the oil refinery.
The minister said that a special announcement was not made prior to the closure of the refinery, because it was an internal matter. “It was an internal matter that only affects the CPC, which does not affect the country’s fuel supply at all,” he said.

What is the most important topic that you hope to focus on in the upcoming run-off?

If you were to win, what is the first thing that you hope to accomplish?
Price: Restore faith in Alabama politics
“No one person is going to change the world from day one. But the first thing I hope to accomplish is to work with other leaders to restore the public’s faith in government once again. Montgomery is broken, and I want to be part of the solution.”
Are your campaign tactics expected to change now that there are less people running?
Price: Keeping on point
“I was proud to win four out of five counties and the majority overall votes in our district. I believe our positive message of progress for better jobs, higher wages and conservative values has worked, and I don’t plan on changing my tune.”
What is one thing that you want the voters to know about you?
Price: Maintaining accessibility to constituents
“If elected, they will have a hard worker and a fighter in the State Senate. I want to remain accessible to all voters both during the campaign and in office, and I plan on doing just that.”

We have bad news for fans of professional wrestling, and also for lovers of surprisingly emotionally-effective comedies about women in sports. After three popular and successful seasons, Netflix has decided to bring the ax down on its exclusive series “GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.” This is despite the fact that production on the fourth season had already started before the studio was forced to shut down because of the ongoing pandemic situation, and the entirety of the first episode is already understood to have been filmed.
The news appears to have come out of the blue and has been met with disappointment by fans, cast members, and the show’s writers and producers. There has also been criticism of Netflix. One long-standing belief about the way that Netflix decides whether to drop or continue shows is that they weigh heavily on newer shows because they think longer-running titles don’t bring in audiences as easily. Their statistics tell them that the more episodes there are of a show to ‘catch up’ on, the less likely a new viewer is to be drawn to it. If this is true, it implies that Netflix cares more about attracting new customers than serving those who already subscribe to the service – a position that has drawn strong criticism from some quarters.
For those who aren’t acquainted with the show, “GLOW” tells the story of a tightly-knit but somewhat unconventional gang of female wrestlers during the 1980s as they seek fame and stardom in the United States of America. Most of them started life as actors and ended up in pro wrestling by accident. They’re a lovable bunch, and their story is loosely rooted in reality. There was a real-life wrestling promotion called “Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling” during the 1980s that mostly filmed and broadcast in Las Vegas, and the struggles faced by the wrestlers in it were similar to those faced by the characters in the television show. However, the performers’ names are completely different, and the stories they tell are exaggerated to make good television. The show has made an unlikely star out of British actor Kate Nash – a former pop and indie singer in her first-ever acting role.
The initial success of “GLOW” took everybody by surprise. It’s long been thought that the only company capable of making money out of wrestling is Vince McMahon’s WWE, but that’s been proven to be incorrect. All Elite Wrestling, a rival promotion, started in Florida last year and is now on network television in the US. Mexican wrestling is also very popular, as is evidenced by the sheer number of wrestling-themed online slots in existence like “Lucha Legends.” If the notion of wrestling can attract money at online slots websites, it perhaps shouldn’t be a surprise that it can make money elsewhere. Ironically, an online slots website might be the best way to describe Netflix’s attitude towards its shows. Such websites only keep their online slots online for as long as they’re making money. If they’re not popular enough, they get pulled down and replaced by something else. “GLOW” appears to have fallen foul of this ideology.
Among all the upset caused online by the show’s sudden cancellation, a campaign has started on social media aimed at persuading Netflix to change its mind about the cancellation. As various people pointed out, money has already been spent on the fourth season, and a promise was made to fans. The series’s central plotlines have been left unresolved because the fourth season had already been promised to the producers by the time the third came to an end, and the scripts have already been written. In addition to that, most media outlets appear to view the cancellation of the show as a mistake. It’s been suggested that if Netflix is unwilling to allow the story to be finished on its platform, it should release the rights to enable either a fourth season or a film to be made elsewhere.
One person who’s been left particularly disappointed by the news is Canadian professional wrestler Taya Valkyrie, who performs for Impact Wrestling and is married to WWE star John Morrison. After spending her whole entertainment career thus far as a wrestler, Valkyrie had landed a role in the show and had already recorded her first scenes for the opening episode. It was to be her first exposure as an actor. It now seems inevitable that her scenes will never be seen, potentially affecting her chances of a career in television after her professional wrestling career ends.
Elsewhere, there’s frustration that this show has been canceled while Netflix invests significant sums of money into shows that don’t necessarily have a ready-made audience. It’s been reported elsewhere that one such project is a “RoboCop” prequel set before the events of the first film, which would mean that the character of RoboCop wouldn’t appear in it. Few people would disagree with the suggestion that the central character “RoboCop” is RoboCop himself. It’s hard to imagine a show set in the same world but without that character connecting with an audience. Based on press coverage and articles online alone, “GLOW” had a steady and devoted audience. Some of them have stated that they’ll be canceling their subscriptions in protest. There probably won’t be enough people doing so to make Netflix care, but someone within the company’s head offices ought to be taking note.
There might be another side to this. Filming a series like “GLOW” requires a lot of close physical contact because of all the wrestling scenes, and close physical contact isn’t easy to film in 2020 because of the global pandemic. That excuse doesn’t appear to hold water, though. The fact remains that both WWE and AEW are still airing live wrestling shows every week, and so if they can do ‘real’ wrestling live on television, “GLOW” ought to be able to do it within the comparative safety of a television studio. Whichever way you look at it, the move to cancel “GLOW” doesn’t appear to make much sense.
Sadly, we’re going to presume that “GLOW” won’t be coming back and that the show is gone for good. We’ll miss Debbie and the rest of the gang, and we hope that all of the cast and crew quickly find employment elsewhere. So long, “GLOW,” and thanks for the memories!

Approximately one year since Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (P.L. 115-97), the IRS has issued interim guidance to address Section 4960 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code).
Code Section 4960 imposes a 21 percent federal excise tax on exempt organizations that provide for total compensation (remuneration) in excess of $1 million or provide for certain severance packages to covered employees beginning in 2018. The interim guidance issued by the IRS, Notice 2019-09 (the Notice), includes information on calculating and paying the new tax. The Notice also states that until further guidance is issued, taxpayers may use a good-faith, reasonable interpretation of the statute, to comply with the requirements of Code Section 4960, and describes certain positions that the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury do not consider good-faith, reasonable interpretations.
Which organizations are affected?
The IRS defines those organizations affected as applicable tax-exempt organizations (ATEOs). Under Code Section 4960, an entity is covered as an ATEO if it is exempt under:
- Code Section 501(a);
- as a farming cooperative under Code Section 527(e)(1);
- as government entities under Code Section 115(1); or
- as a political organization under Code Section 527(e)(1)
The Notice specifies that the ATEO is considered the common-law employer and, therefore, cannot avoid or reduce its tax liability under Code Section 4960 by paying its employees, contractors, board members, etc., through any number of related entities, or by using a third-party payer arrangement, common paymaster, statutory employer, certified professional employer organization, or any similar arrangement.
Who is a covered employee?
According to the IRS, covered employees, will always be covered employees even after the employer-employee relations cease. In order to be included as such, the employee must be one of the five highest-compensated employees in the current taxable year or a covered employee in any preceding taxable year beginning January 1, 2017.
Which payments must be considered in the calculation of remuneration?
For the purposes of calculating the excise tax, remuneration means a covered employee’s wages for federal income tax purposes under Code Section 3401(a), including amounts required to be included in gross income under Code Section 457(f), but excluding designated Roth contributions and excluding remuneration paid to a licensed medical professional for the performance of medical or veterinary services. Remuneration is treated as paid when there is no “substantial risk of forfeiture” of the rights to the remuneration. Therefore, ATEOs cannot delay the actual payment of the remuneration to its covered employees to avoid the excise tax.
An “excess parachute payment” is, in general, an amount that is contingent on an employee’s separation from employment that exceeds three times the covered employee’s base compensation. Unlike the purposes of calculating remuneration for a taxable year, excess parachute payments are not required to exceed $1 million to be subject to the tax.
How do you report and pay the excise tax?
IRS Form 4720 is to be filed by the 15th day of the fifth month after the end of the employer’s taxable year to pay taxes due that are imposed under Code Section 4960. Remuneration paid should be calculated based on payments made in a calendar year. Therefore, entities that have a December 31 calendar year-end will align their calculations with their taxable year-end. For entities that have a fiscal year-end other than December 31, excess compensation paid and excess severance/parachute payments made to a covered employee in the calendar year ending with or within the taxable year of the employer’s fiscal year are treated as paid for that taxable year (e.g., June 30, 2019, filers will use December 31, 2018, remuneration paid). It should be noted that the extension filing does not extend the time to pay the tax, and estimated tax payments during the year are not required for the excise tax.
If you wish to discuss any of the matters in the attached update in more detail, please call 724-934-0344.

New Variant of Coronavirus Spreads Rapidly as Many People in Sandwell Still Have to Go Out to Work
Sandwell Council has issued an urgent warning to employers of the need to protect their staff against the new variant of coronavirus.
Sandwell’s Director of Public Health Lisa McNally urged people to take action now to prevent more deaths and hospitalisations due to Covid-19. Her concern is particularly focused on those that still have to go to work during lockdown.
“The number of people who still have to go to work during this lockdown is very high in Sandwell,” she said.
“For example, the proportion of our local population working in processing plants or operating machines in factories is around twice as high as the national average. It’s also significantly higher than the West Midlands average.
“In addition we have lots of people working in schools, care settings and essential retail jobs.
“Given evidence that the new variant of the virus is easier to catch and more deadly than previous versions, it’s crucial that employers take all possible steps to protect their workforce.
“Staff should be supported to maintain a safe distance from each other and the public. They should also be given the right protective equipment to wear and be able to wash their hands regularly.
“Most importantly, employers need to ensure that people with symptoms, or who otherwise should be isolating, do not come into the workplace. That can rapidly turn into a very large outbreak with fatal consequences.”
Sandwell Council’s Deputy Leader Councillor Maria Crompton added: “A large section of our population in Sandwell don’t have the option of working from home.
“They work in industries and services that keep the rest of the country going.
“I’m asking all employers to take their duty of care to staff seriously during this extremely dangerous time.
“Employees should not be afraid of speaking up if they feel Covid-19 guidance is not being followed in their workplace. Everyone has a right to this protection.”
Advice for operating a COVID safe workplace is here: www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-19
Workers can also get a rapid Covid-19 test at West Bromwich town hall. The rapid testing programme is available for anyone who is unable to work from home and who does not have any Covid-19 symptoms. As many as one in three people who have coronavirus have no symptoms and may be spreading it without realising. Go to www.sandwell.gov.uk/testsandwell to book.
Any business that has two or more positive cases among their staff must report this to the council’s Public Health team. The Public Health team can also advise employers who need information or support. To contact the Public Health team email: firstname.lastname@example.org

My only complaint, and it could be ME not the recipe, is that the dried split peas took forever to cook. I tried doubling and tripling the simmer time, adding more water and still had hard peas. This is the first time I've ever made split pea soup. (Well, the first time I remember that I've made split pea soup. Apparently by age nearly-50 one starts forgetting what one has done in one's life.) Should I have soaked the peas first? No instruction to do so. And I thought split peas and lentils were both so small you could cook straight from dry without soaking. I'll investigate. The taste is great, though.
One thing I do remember from childhood is that my mom always put some sherry in our Campbell's split pea soup, and yes, it was always good. (Yeah, I even did that as a kid.) I didn't have any sherry in the house today, but I had some sake, which is another sweet wine. It worked. I think any white wine will do.
I garnished the soup with croutons for the picture, but since I am wheat-free these days, I will eat it without them. I used to eat split pea soup with tons of broken up saltines, too. I could see adding some veggie bacon bits for some more of that hammy flavor.
I did a little research and found some info on how to cook split peas. Mine should have cooked, although the salt I added before cooking might have caused my problems. I'll have to experiment next time and not add any salt until after they are done.
One thing I didn't do was rinse the peas and sort out stones first. I'll just have to hope they are fine! Blame it on the Campbell's generation, huh?
Here are some websites that offer interesting info about cooking with split peas:
Did the DD eat it? No. "I don't like pea soup."
Would I make this again? Yes, if only to see if I can get the peas to cook through.

Q: Why is asset management important?
A: Asset management growth continues to be an essential goal for any business or company. An industry will experience strong results and an improvement on previous years when asset management growth is achieved. It also shows that a company has selected the correct approach, one that promotes compatibility across all departments.
The times of manual work are over. Asset management continues to gain importance as industry moves through the new millennium. The successful administration of assets will include numerous complex and diverse databases, and businesses must rely on timely and accurate information.
Q: What constitutes effective asset management?
A: Asset management is one of the most important strategies used in any industry. The corporate world today leans heavily on data maintenance and technological systems. To ensure that a business is running smoothly, both software and hardware assets should be managed properly. A thorough evaluation of financial statements, the marketing and sales plan, guest satisfaction data and the budget will likely be required. Asset management firms can give strategic advice on tax planning and acquisition services, as well as offering alternatives for the future.
Q: How does asset management affect a company?
A: Overall, asset management makes way for the proper organization of facilities, transportation, production and digital assets. Maintenance, procurement, budgeting and depreciation calculation of fixed assets should be evaluated, too. The value on these fixed assets must be maximized, with a goal toward minimizing all projected costs. A number of organizational modules are now available that assist different industries with managing aspects of day-to-day operations such as assets, materials, human resources and software.
Operational management systems provide necessary tools for improvement on these assets, decreasing the cost of ownership while developing their return. Additionally, the systems offer assistance with tasks such as license compliance and encourage heightened security for internal operations. This factor is especially important for companies with several branches in different locations. Now, management has a better, more efficient way to track both intangible and physical assets.

For many years, watching a documentary of her choosing has been a strict part of Frances’s bedtime routine. While watching documentaries may not be considered typical for either a child who has ASD or a child who does not, it is my understanding that the rigidity of routines can be.
With this, I post an example of what a rigid routine could look like. As I’ve mentioned in other posts, in our case, Frances wakes, crying, in the middle of the night if she falls asleep before the documentary is over.
I’ve really enjoyed capturing these and other moments — many of our moments — through every age. In the following panel, she has just fallen asleep before the film’s end, and she is six years old.

Indonesia’s most active volcano erupted once again with a river of lava and searing gas clouds flowing 1,500 metres down its slopes.
It was the Mount Merapi’s longest lava flow since authorities raised the volatile volcano’s danger level in November, said Hanik Humaida, the head of Yogyakarta’s Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Center.
The alert level was being maintained for now at the second-highest level, she said, and people should stay out of the existing 5-kilometre danger zone around the crater as the local administrations in Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces closely monitor the situation.
The 2,968-metre volcano is on the densely populated island of Java and near the ancient city of Yogyakarta. It is the most active of dozens of Indonesian volcanoes and has repeatedly erupted with lava and gas clouds recently.
About a quarter million people live within 10 kilometres of the volcano, according to authorities in surrounding districts.
Merapi’s last major eruption in 2010 killed 347 people and caused the evacuation of 20,000 villagers.
Indonesia is home to more than 120 active volcanoes and is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanoes and fault lines around the Pacific Ocean.

This paper evaluates ceramic membrane performance and fouling mechanisms in the ultrafiltration of model oil-in-water solutions with addition of NaCl. First, the work estimated the effect of main process parameters, i.e. transmembrane pressure, cross-flow velocity and NaCl content in the feed on oil rejection and permeate flux using 23 experimental design. The ultrafiltration experiments were carried out using pilot installation with commercial tubular ceramic 300 kDa membrane. Ultrafiltration data obtained using experimental design technique was used to determine the regression coefficients of polynomial equations. These equations give information on non-conjugated as well as conjugated effects of two operating parameters and one feed parameter on ceramic membrane performance in ultrafiltration process of model oil-in-water-NaCl solutions. Moreover, these equations can help to determine optimal conditions for ultrafiltration process from the point of view of membrane permeability and selectivity. Next, ultrafiltration results were analyzed using resistance-in-series model. It was found that the process is membrane resistance limited. It was also stated that, resistance caused by reversible fouling is greater than irreversible fouling resistance. Finally, pore blocking models based on modified Hermia’s equation were used to determine membrane fouling mechanism responsible for permeate flux decline with ultrafiltration time. In investigated system ceramic membrane fouling was caused by complete and intermediate pore blocking mechanisms.

The article presents the laboratory investigations of the basic thermal and hygric parameters of standard lightweight aggregate-concrete and lightweight aggregate-concrete supplemented with municipal sewage sludge. Both types of concrete are based on light aggregates, commonly used in the Polish building market. In order to improve the hygric parameters of the material, such as water absorptivity, the admixture of water emulsion of reactive polisiloxanes was applied. Within the presented research, together with basic moisture parameters estimation, capillary rise process was monitored using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) modified sensors. Hygric parameters were supplemented with the estimation of thermal conductivity coefficient λ determined using stationary method. The analysis of thermal and hygric properties of concrete confirmed the applicability of lightweight aggregate-concrete with sewage sludge supplementation for further production.
The main source of usable water supply in Poland is surface water. The most frequently used methods of surface water treatment are coagulation and filtration processes. During these processes post-coagulation sludge is generated, which is the main waste produced in water treatment plants. This sludge is characterized by an amorphous structure with a strongly developed specific surface, similar to sewage sludge. Dried and crushed post-coagulation sludge was used in the studies as an adsorbent of two acid dyes: Acid Red 18 (AR 18) and Acid Green 16 (AG 16). The most favourable pH of process and contact time as well as sorption isotherm were established. For both dyes the most favourable pH value was equal 2. The tests showed that in the case of AR 18 (180 min) a longer contact time was necessary to reach the equilibrium than for AG 16 (120 min). Moreover, based on the different isotherm two-parameter models, the sorption capacity, type of sorption and energy of sorption were calculated based on linear and non-linear regression. The tests showed that in the case of dye AG 16 monolayer sorption occurred - the analysis showed better fitting the results to Langmuir model. Moreover, for both dyes, physical adsorption took place - it was indicated by the values of parameter 1/n (computed from the Freundlich model).
For the third time since 2005 atmospheric deposition of trace elements in Belarus was monitored by the moss technique widely used in Europe for air pollution studies. Samples of moss species of Hylocomium splendens and Pleurozium schreberi were collected at 86 sites over the Gomel, Vitebsk and Minsk Regions in the summer of 2015. A total of 30 elements were determined by epithermal neutron activation analysis. Studying of the temporal trends in Belarus was undertaken with the results obtained in previous moss surveys in 2005/2006 and 2010/2011. Comparison with the analogous data from the neighbouring countries showed relatively low contamination levels in Belarus for the most heavy and toxic elements. The results of survey 2010/2011 showed that, except Cr, other element concentrations reduce or are at the same levels.

Antibiotics are widely detected emerging contaminants in water environments and possess high potential risks to human health and aquatic life. However, conventional water treatment processes cannot remove them sufficiently. To develop innovative nanoadsorbents for effectively remove antibiotic contaminants from water environment, nanoceria were prepared via in situ precipitation method, and evaluated their adsorption capacity for a model antibiotic, ciprofloxacin (CIP). The properties of the prepared nanoceria were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibration sample magnetization (VSM). The effect of various operating parameters such as pH, initial CIP concentration, contact time, and adsorbent dosage on adsorptions of CIP were studied in batch experiments. Maximum adsorption capacity of the nanoceria was 49.38 mg/g at the conditions of pH 5, initial CIP concentration of 200 mg/dm3 and adsorbent dosage of 0.2 g/dm3, when 95.43 % of the CIP was removed. For adsorption kinetics, both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models can well describe the experimental data, indicating that the adsorption process was controlled by both physical diffusion and chemical interaction. For adsorption isotherms, the Freundlich model could fit the experimental data better than the Langmuir and Temkin models, suggesting a multilayer adsorption process. The thermal dynamics study showed the absorption process was spontaneity, exothermic, and irreversible. Finally it was concluded that the nanoceria can be used effectively for CIP removal.
Determining the value of a half-effective or half-life concentration or dose of toxicant is the main purpose of acute toxicity studies, and this is also the most commonly used value in the toxicity characteristics of substances. By conducting tests that meet the criteria and requirements for the determination of acute toxicity, due to the use of appropriate mathematical tools and concentrations resulting in complete lethal effects in the studied groups, considerably more important values can be achieved, which give a possibility for the analysis of the entire process’s dynamics, as well as determining the threshold values of the effect time and toxicant concentration. This was the purpose of our research, in which the research species were Daphnia magna and Cypris pubera. The effect of the conducted research allowed to determine and compare the two toxicants: ammonium and copper(II) ions by it’s: concentration limit values (Cth), internal toxicity of the receptor-ligand complex (α), apparent, constant disintegration of this complex (Kapp) and different time values of the effect (Tt, Tin, MLT), which, along with concentration, is equally important determinant of the development of a toxic effect.
The paper presents the results of the spread of the tetrahydrothiophene (THT) - used as odourant - in the gas network. Such analyses allow quick detection of leaks in networks, systems and devices of gas supply directly to consumers. The main goal of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of portable chromatograph and comparing it with a stationary odourant concentration analyser. Based on these studies, an attempt to determine the odouration zone for the selected city have been also taken. For this purpose, three series of measurements were made - in each series 13 points were analysed. Obtained results confirmed the effectiveness of the measurement a concentration of odourant in the gas network using a portable gas chromatograph - difference in relation to the stationary chromatograph ranged from 1.91 to 2.55 %.
The performance and economic simulation and modeling are crucial for accurate and rapid designing, construction, and forecasting future economic needs of municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWWTPs). In this study, combined nitrifying trickling filter/activated sludge (NTF/AS) process was suggested for the modernization of a MWWTP and the performance and economics of MWWTPs based on the combined TF/AS process and combined NTF/AS process were analyzed and compared. In real, the performance, total project construction, total operation labor, total maintenance labor, total material, total chemical, total energy, and total amortization costs of these proposed MWWTPs were calculated and compared. Under the used design criteria and operational conditions in this study, the project construction cost of the MWWTP based on TF/AS was 15.25 % higher than that of the MWWTP based on NTF/AS. Also, MWWTP based on NTF/AS was cost effective and the material and amortization costs for both plants were higher in comparison with the operation, maintenance, energy, and chemical costs. It is necessary to note that this study is a computer simulation for a case and drawing general conclusions only on the basis of this simulation may be insufficient.
In the world there are two main problems concerning energy and ecology. Despite the crude oil price fluctuation, it has tended to increase. Moreover fossil fuel burning emits hazard compounds, including greenhouse gas. To solve them alternative fuels for vehicle have to be used. In due to properties, their usage impacts on the engine efficiency. The alternative fuel usage needs additional investment costs on the vehicle engines adaptation and fuel supply infrastructure. So, decisions must be based on mathematical apparatus. Three submodels were used in the suggested mathematical model: energy and economic indicator for fuels; energy and economic indicator for vehicles; criteria for investment projects. As a criterion of investment projects the profitability index has been grounded. The mathematical model and the algorithm for determining the feasibility of the alternative fuel utilization have been developed. The proposed algorithm includes the following stages: calculation of the fuel energy cost; calculation of the criteria for vehicles; determining the maximum value of investments; making decisions. Biofuels and gaseous fuels for some countries have been studied. The economic attractiveness of the alternative transport fuels has been presented. According to mathematical modeling, gaseous fuels are more economically attractive compared with liquid biofuels. Among gaseous fuels, LPG has a higher economic efficiency. The economic margin of alternative fuel application feasibility has been determined.

Broccoli has a very good nutritive value, high antioxidant activity and pro-healthy potential. Freezing is one of best methods for vegetable storage and broccoli belongs to the group of vegetables subjected to this process on an industrial scale. This work investigates the effect of type of container: low density polyethylene (PE-LD) bags and oriented polystyrene (OPS) boxes on selected quality parameters in frozen broccoli. The experimental material was the broccoli cultivar LordF1. The vegetable was subjected to blanching, freezing and 3-month storage. At the every stage of an experiment the material was examined in terms of: vitamin C content; β-carotene; total polyphenols; and antioxidant potential, which was determined basing on the ability to quench the ABTS˙+ free radical. It has been found that vegetables which were kept frozen for 3 months in two types of container had parallel levels of vitamin C, β-carotene; total polyphenols; and similar antioxidative potential.

Moberg Pharma intends to submit a registration application in Europe in 2021
STOCKHOLM, October 14th, 2020, Moberg Pharma AB (OMX: MOB) announced today its decision to request pre-submission meetings with regulatory agencies, with the goal of submitting a registration application in the second half of 2021 in Europe.
In June, Moberg Pharma presented topline results from the second of two clinical Phase 3 studies for MOB-015. In the European study – as well as in the North American study – the primary endpoint was achieved and no serious adverse events were reported. MOB-015’s superior mycological cure (percentage of patients who were fungus free) has now been demonstrated in two pivotal studies, providing further support for the company’s target to make MOB-015 the future market leader in onychomycosis. Moberg Pharma will now finalize the documentation for the registration application which the company expects to submit during the second half of 2021.
“After thorough analysis of the data with our scientific advisors and partners, we see strong potential for MOB-015 and are now through submission preparations pursuing the next key steps toward market approval. There is great need for better topical treatments with the ability to really cure the fungal infection. The superior mycological cure enables a unique position for MOB-015,” says Anna Ljung, CEO of Moberg Pharma.
After the European meetings, Moberg Pharma intends to discuss next steps for the US market in an advice meeting with the FDA.
About MOB-015 and Onychomycosis
Approximately 10 percent of the general population suffer from onychomycosis and a majority of those afflicted go untreated. The global market opportunity is significant with more than hundred million patients worldwide and a clear demand for better products.
MOB-015 is an internally developed topical formulation of terbinafine based on Moberg Pharma’s experience from previously having developed and commercialized a leading OTC product for onychomycosis. Oral terbinafine is currently the gold standard for treating onychomycosis but associated with safety issues, including drug interactions and liver damage. For many years, developing a topical terbinafine treatment without the safety issues of oral terbinafine has been highly desirable, but unsuccessful due to insufficient delivery of the active substance through the nail. In a previous phase 2 study, MOB-015 demonstrated delivery of high microgram levels of terbinafine into the nail and through the nail plate into the nail bed. Plasma levels of terbinafine with MOB-015 were substantially lower than after oral administration, reducing the risk of liver toxicities observed with oral terbinafine.
Moberg Pharma has secured commercialization partners for MOB-015 in Europe, Japan, Canada and the Republic of Korea.
MOB-015 has recently been evaluated over 52 weeks in two randomized, multicenter, controlled Phase 3 studies, including in total more than 800 patients in North America and Europe. The primary endpoint was met in both studies, the proportion of patients achieving complete cure of their target nail. Mycological cure (eradicating the fungal infection) was achieved in 70 percent of the patients in the North American study and 84 percent of the patients in the European study, which is substantially higher than reported for other topical treatments.
