AQUACULTURE PRESENTATION - BIOLOGICAL LINE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION.ECOCLÃ BIOTECNOLOGIA
BIOAUGMENTATION IN AQUACULTURE is the supplementation of naturally occurring external microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and yeasts) in shrimp and fish nurseries, ponds and production tanks.
The action of bacteria is based on the process of degradation of compounds and the enzymatic action metabolized by these microorganisms to inorganic compounds such as CO2, NO3, SO4 and water.
The causes of absence of a diversity and quantity or microorganisms that have a high degradatiion activity can be several, including and inadequate adaption and low reprodution inside the nurseries, ponds and tanks.
However, this diversity is not always present (number of species and number of individuals within the same species), even when the minimum conditions necessary for the degrading action of bacteria on the substrate (pH, temperature, nutrients e oxygen).
Specifically for the farms (agroindustries) it is common exhalation of strong unpleasant odor and high presencae of non-degraded solids (mud of the bottom of the pond). Among others, the high concentration of ammonia is due to a low microbial activity, in which the microbiota presente in pond is not sufficient to facilitate the treatability of the same In general, the program can be adapted to each of the needs of the production chain, based on the objectives to be achieved and general conditions of each farm. The addition of “ECOMIX” has been shown to be one of the most efficient alternatives to improve productivity, reduce damage caused by diseases (mortality x FCR), and also to preserv the environment (reducing N and P discharges) Particularly, the eutrophication of aquatic systems is caused by release of nitrates, phosphates and nutrients that support the flowering of a huge cell mass of algae in role system (discharged water).

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
