The current study focused on community happiness as a representation of Indonesian culture. For that purpose, the influence of work culture and human resource management in public sector institutions for developing and enhancing community happiness was assessed directly using Veenhoven's theory of happiness. In addition, the contingent effectiveness of digital governance and enhancing the valuables influence of work culture and human resource management on public sector performance was examined. The National Agency for Drug and Food Control (NADFC) was used to empirically examine the study's theoretical framework using posts from 691 Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram followers of NADFC. The data were analyzed using SmartPLS 3.3.0. The results revealed the significant direct and indirect impacts of public sector institutions' work culture and human resource management on community happiness via an underlying performance mechanism. Indirect influences were higher than direct ones in creating and enhancing community happiness. These results show the significance of the performance of public sector institutions in bringing happiness to citizens instead of merely having an innovative work culture or best-managed human resources. The results also revealed that digital governance is highly valuable in transmitting the positive influence of work culture and human resource management and enhancing the performance of such institutions.

Kertas merupakan material dengan berbagai macam aplikasi keseharian, sebagai medium alas tulis, cetak, gambar, pembungkus, dsb. Jenis, bentuk dan ketebalannya pun beragam, ada permukaan yang bergelombang, datar, bertekstur, halus, tebal hingga setipis sutra. Kendati era digital disinyalir mempersempit peranan kertas, namun tidak dapat dipungkiri pemanfaatan kertas tetap menjadi bagian pamungkas dari kelengkapan kerja printer komputer. Disamping bermanfaat, kertas juga menyisakan sisi lain keberadaannya yang tidak jarang menjadi masalah ketika sudah menjadi sampah. Limbah kertas bisa saja dilenyapkan dengan cara dibakar, namun demikian akan mengakibatkan polusi udara berupa asap berbau yang mengganggu dan berbahaya, terlebih dalam volume besar dan kontinyu. Dalam rangka mencegah dan mengurangi rusaknya lingkungan yang disebakan kurang tepatnya penangulangan sampah kertas, maka perlu dilakukan usaha mengolah limbahnya agar lebih bermanfaat dan bernilai. Daur ulang kertas merupakan salah-satu usaha mengolah limbah tersebut menjadi kertas ‘baru’ yang dapat digunakan kembali serta memiliki nilai jual. Dengan keunikan visual yang dibuat secara artistik dapat juga diaplikasikan sebagai material dalam membuat karya kerajinan tangan. Proses daur ulang kertas dilakukan melalui pelatihan menggunakan cara yang sederhana, dengan peralatan rumah tangga yang ada. Dimulai dengan merendam kertas bekas pada baskom hingga proses penyaringan bubur kertas. Pelaksanaan pelatihan merupakan undangan pihak mitra yaitu Pondok Pesantren Putera-Puteri Rancaherang kota Bandung. Disamping menawarkan solusi praktis penangulangan limbah, tetapi sekaligus memberi bekal dasar bagi para santri dan masyarakat sekitar sebagai peserta agar dapat mendaur ulang kertas bekas, sehingga implementasi kreatifitasnya kedepan berdaya guna dan bernilai jual.

Energy and environmental issues have triggered the search for new sources of green energy alternatives in recent years. Biofuel production from renewable sources is widely considered one of the most sustainable alternatives for environmental and economic sustainability. Microalgae are currently being promoted as one of the most promising liquid biofuel feedstocks due to their rapid growth, high lipid production capacity, and carbon–neutral cycle. In this study, whole microalgae cells were utilized as raw material to produce solid biofuel, i.e., Bio-Coke, and this study aimed to investigate the possibility of microalgae Bio-Coke as an alternative to coal coke. The results show that Bio-Coke can be produced from microalgae in the temperature range of 80–100 °C. The apparent density is between 1.253 and 1.261 g/cm3, comparable to the apparent density of lignocellulosic Bio-Coke. Additionally, the calorific value is higher than the calorific value of lignocellulosic Bio-Coke and within the range of the calorific value of subbituminous coal. Therefore, microalgae Bio-Coke can be utilized to replace coal coke usage in the future.

A major drawback associated with an expression of a high-level Plasmodium Lactate Dehydrogenase (pLDH) using Escherichia coli is the low solubility due to the formation of an inclusion body (IB). This study aimed to develop a suitable protocol for enhancing the solubility of pLDH expressed in E. coli. Firstly, a pLDH-encoding gene was amplified from the blood sample of malaria-infected patients and ligated into pBlueScript II KS+ for sequencing. Afterward, the pLDH gene was digested and cloned into pColdTF for expression. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into the E. coli BL21 (DE3) RIPL Codon Plus Strain. Then, the bacterial host was initially cultured at 37°C until reaching optical density (OD) at 600 nm: 0.5. Thereafter, the growth temperature was lowered to 15°C, followed by the addition of 0.1 mM IPTG into the culture medium for inducing pLDH expression. Thereafter, the bacterial hosts were cultured in a cold-stirred bioreactor (15°C). The result showed that a combination of the low culture conditions (15°C) and a low amount of IPTG increased the solubility of pLDH. This result suggests that this protocol can be a convenient method for generating high-quality recombinant protein using the E. coli system.

Ruqyah is a prayer therapy used for specific treatments, which consists of a particular series of readings from the sources of the verses of the Qur’an and the hadith of the Prophet Muhamad SAW. Imam Qurtubi believed that ‘ruqyah quraniyah’ therapy could contribute to healing physical and spiritual ailments. The resonance effect on the ruqyah therapy of the verses of the Qur’an has a tremendous impact on each reading that is heard (voiced) for various objects. The Research question in this research is how the effectiveness of using ruqyah quraniyah on the effect of brain waves on the healing of Tourette syndrome patients at dr.Sardjito Yogyakarta? This study uses a qualitative method with an experimental phenomenological approach. The experimental stage stimulated it with a variant of the codification of the ruqyah verses in the form of ‘Hizb Bahr,’ which was tested on pediatric neurology patients for eight weeks so that the patient’s brain memory records resulted in refraction and habits. This result indicates that patients with TS change to improve along with psychological conditions that can be calmed by listening to the beauty of the ‘Hizb Bahr’ in daily life for eight consecutive weeks. The state of listening to the beauty of reading the Qur’an in this ‘ruqyah quraniyah’ codification model essentially conditions the patient’s brain waves at the alpha level. No frontal beta makes the patient perform reflex activities as long as his psychological state is calm and controlled.

Broiler cultivation is one of the largest MSMEs in East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB). The group of breeders carries out maintenance on a scale between 3,500 heads and 7,500 heads per cage. The Muara Selayar farmer group is one of the broiler farmer groups located in Pijot Village, Keruak District, East Lombok Regency. The main problem faced by the Muara Selayar Farmer Group at this time is that production performance is not optimal, which is characterized by sluggish chicken growth, many dwarf chickens, poor feed conversion, high mortality rate, which results in low profits obtained and even losses. The considerable number of dwarf chickens although it varies every period incurs losses due to poor ration conversion with low selling prices. The solution offered to bridge the problem of low broiler production performance in the Muara Selayar Broiler Farm Group is the use of symbiotic as a feed mixture for broilers of the starter period. Symbiotic are a mixture of prebiotics (feed ingredients that are difficult to digest in the digestive tract but benefit the host through selective stimulation of growth or activity of one or more microbes in the gut) and probiotics (live microbes that have benefits for the host). The results of this activity show that the use of symbiotic has succeeded in increasing the body's resistance and growth of slaughter chickens and laying hens.

The role of coral reefs for marine life is as a place to find food, nursery areas, spawning grounds, and as hiding places. Gag Island is one of the areas that has the potential for the main coral species Acropora sp, but with the increase in pollution from waste that causes sedimentation, and local community activities in fishing activities in ways that are not environmentally friendly, such as the use of bombs that make coral reefs in the area. many of these areas are degraded or damaged. To overcome the sustainability of fishing that is not environmentally friendly, it is the initiative to carry out socialization and transplantation.

This paper seeks to examine some of the perceptions and attitudes developed by Muslims in relation to the social conflict of Maluku. This paper argues that there were no single views among Muslims with regard to the conflict. Some Muslim hard-liners in general have demonstrated hostile perceptions and confrontational attitudes toward their perceived enemy. They constructed the conflict as a “religious war,” and demanded that the Indonesian Council of Religious Scholars (MUI) issue a fatwa that would allow Muslims outside Maluku to fight against the enemy in Maluku. The Muslim moderates, on the other hand, tended to avoid religious vocabularies, while attempting to work out peaceful solutions. The semi-official MUI, Nahdlatul Ulama, and Muhammadiyyah perceived the conflict as not religiously driven; they viewed the conflict in a more sophisticated way. They saw no need to wage a religious war and no need to issue a fatwa for a national jihad.

In the process of learning mathematics, especially geometry, teachers must pay attention to the level of ability possessed by students. Van Hiele suggests that there are five stages of thinking that students will go through in learning geometry: the visualization stage, the analysis stage, the informal deduction stage, the deduction stage, and the rigor stage. Each stage of thinking will be passed by students sequentially without passing any of the previous stages. This study aimed to identify and describe the geometric thinking stages of high school students. The first is based on van Hiele's theory. The research method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. This research was conducted at MTs (Madrasah Tsanawiyah) An-Nur, Cirebon City, with a population of 318 students and a sample of 72 students selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data collection technique used is in the form of a Van Hiele geometric thinking stage test with 25 multiple choice questions divided into five subtests. The results showed that 29.17% of students were in stage 1 (visualization), 25% of students were in stage 2 (analysis), and 6.94% of students were in stage 3 (informal deduction). There are still students who have not entered the van Hiele geometric thinking stage (at stage 0), namely 13.89%. As for the students who could not determine their van Hiele geometric thinking stage, as many as 25%. The highest stage achieved by students was stage 3 (informal deduction), so no student reached stage 4 (deduction) and stage 5 (rigor). In general, the geometric thinking stage of MTs (Madrasah Tsanawiyah) An-Nur students is at stage 1 of van Hiele's geometric thinking.

Highlight Research New method to synthesis nano chitosan from Vannamei shrimp with high Deacetylation Degree Nano chitosan from Vannamei shrimp can adsorb heavy metal Fe up to 81.35% Shrimp shells as an alternative adsorbents for Fe Abstract Shrimp cultivation produces shrimp wastes in several forms, including shells from the molting process. Shrimp shell waste can be used as a source of nano chitosan. Many researches have used nano chitosan for various applications, one of which is to adsorb heavy metal pollution. This present study aimed to extract chitosan from shrimp shells and investigate the ability of nano chitosan to adsorb Fe metal. The research began by isolating chitin and chitosan from shrimp shells through deproteinization, demineralization, and deacetylation. The obtained chitosan was afterward characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). Furthermore, the glassy ionic method was used to synthesize nano chitosan. Nano chitosan was characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the Fe metal adsorption ability was measured using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The FTIR results showed that the synthesized shrimp shells had successfully formed chitin compounds with the appearance of the C-O-C functional group, while the chitosan compounds with the appearance of O-H and N-H groups. The SEM characterization showed that nano chitosan with a size of 173.71 nm was successfully formed with identical morphology in the form of a flat (spherical), elongated, and irregular position. The nano chitosan was able to absorb Fe solution up to 81.35%. Therefore, nano chitosan from the shrimp shells is suitable as an adsorbent of heavy metal Fe.

Chicken manure waste is one of the main problems for large-scale broiler cultivation, especially in areas close to residential areas. The accumulation of manure that accumulates under the cage attracts the arrival and development of the flies in the cultivation site. The development of these flies will spread to the houses of residents who live around the cage. As a result, many farmers stop cultivating the broilers because of public complaints. To overcome this problem, the use of probiotics from acetic acid-producing bacteria can be used to reduce the development of flies because of the ability of the bacteria to reduce the pH of the media and create an uncomfortable environment for egg growth. Likewise, the development of maggot can be a competing medium that beats the flay. In community service activities regarding "The use of probiotics and maggot production to reduce flies in the Muara Selayar broiler farm, Pijot Village, Keruak District, East Lombok Regency". Through this activity, the development of flies can be emphasized by the use of probiotics and the development of magot which can be used as chicken feed.

Equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are routinely used for the diagnosis and classification of chronic kidney diseases (CKDs). Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation is an old one and has been replaced in many countries by CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation, but MDRD is still available in routine practice worldwide, especially in developing countries. Many users of MDRD, don’t know that it has two different versions (equations). This idea makes confusion in practice and affected the developers of this equation in internet websites and mobile applications. In this review, we will focus on this dilemma and try to solve it by explaining the basics of these two versions, and when I can choose each version, then the reflection of this issue on about 105 websites/Applications from different countries around the world. After that, we will give recommendations for both developers and seekers of this equation about overcoming this debate.

As a result of not implementing the voluntary child custody decision, the next legal remedy is the execution of child custody which can have a negative impact on the child's psyche. As a solution to this problem, the judge can decide on the dwangsom in the child custody decision. However, dwangsom becomes a legal problem when it is not contained in the petitum but appears in the ruling as stated in the decision Number 8/Pdt.G/2020/MS-BNa. The focus of this research is a juridical review and analysis of Aristotle's theory of justice on the application of dwangsom to the decision. This research is a normative juridical research using a law approach and a case approach. The primary legal source is decision Number 8/Pdt.G/2020/MS-BNa. and secondary sources of law, namely laws relating to the procedural law of the Religious Courts, books and journals related to Aristotelian justice, child custody, ultra petita and dwangsom principles. The data of this study were obtained through documentation and analyzed by Aristotle's theory of justice. The results of the juridical review on the decision contradict Article 178 paragraph (3) HIR / Article 189 paragraph (3) RBg, Article 50 Rv, SEMA Decision Number 3 of 2018, and Jurisprudence number 1001 K/Sip/1972. The judge's considerations in deciding the case Number 8/Pdt.G/2020/MS-BNa have met the criteria of Aristotle's corrective justice, namely there is a violation of rights that should be obtained, there are efforts to correct (return) rights, losses can be measured, corrections can be measured, and on a proportional basis.

Learning resources in the form of textbooks and LKS often make students feel bored during learning activities, because these two learning sources often only contain formulas and material, without any comprehensive explanation of mathematical concepts.

In this study, we estimated the recharge of underground water by using soil water balance in the Sulaimani Province. Based on recorded data in three metrological centres, including Sulaimani, Bakrajo, and Bazyan from 2009 -2021. We found an estimated rate of potential evapotranspiration by using the FAO-Penman -Monteith equation by CropWat Ver.8 Software Programs. Based on this estimate, we found the water deficit and water surplus months in the study area. Moreover, grounded on (SCS-CN) model in the mentioned area which would be divided into 8 different ( CN). Accordingly, an estimate was obtained for the rate of runoff water per month of a calendar year. Finally, we found the amount of rainwater that would take part in the recharge of underground water throughout each month and over years. In this study, we also used statistical analysis of quantitative mathematical results to find amounts of underground water in the study area. Besides, we used (ArcGis10.8) program to create maps for various purposes. In conclusion, we successfully discovered that it is possible to develop a scientific strategy to collect rainwater and replenish underground water sources and protect them by finding out amounts of underground water recharge in the Formation zone that would be 104.2 mm. Importantly, (CN-57) which is located in the district of Bazyan (Khormala -Sinjar Fn.) has the highest amount of underground water recharge that is equivalent to 210.2mm of the total amount of the precipitation equivalent to 32% of the annual sum of rain.

Background: Paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCBs) are a preferred treatment option for coronary in-stent restenosis. To date, data from randomized trials of alternative drug coatings are lacking. The aim of the randomized Malaysian and German-Swiss randomized trials was to investigate a novel sirolimus-coated balloon (SCB) compared with a PCB in in-stent restenosis. Methods: One hundred one patients with drug-eluting stent in-stent restenosis were enrolled in 2 identical randomized trials comparing the novel SCB (SeQuent SCB, 4 μg/mm²) with the clinically proven PCB (SeQuent Please, 3 μg/mm²). Primary end point was angiographic late lumen loss at 6 months. Secondary end points included procedural success, major adverse cardiac events, and individual clinical end points such as stent thrombosis, cardiac death, target lesion myocardial infarction, clinically driven target lesion revascularization, and binary restenosis. Results: Quantitative coronary angiography revealed no differences in baseline parameters. After 6 months, in-segment late lumen loss was 0.25±0.57 mm in the PCB group versus 0.26±0.60 mm in the SCB group. Mean difference between SCB and PCB was 0.01 (95% CI, -0.23 to 0.24). Noninferiority at a predefined margin of 0.35 was shown. Clinical events up to 12 months did not differ between the groups. Conclusions: This first-in man comparison of a novel SCB with a crystalline coating showed similar angiographic and clinical outcomes in the treatment of coronary drug-eluting stent in-stent restenosis compared with PCB.

Mediation as an alternative dispute resolution has its advantages. However, behind the advantages of dispute resolution, it is inversely proportional to the data on the success of mediation in Indonesia which is very low. Based on statistical data from the Semarang Religious Court during 2015-2019, less than 3% of mediations were successful. However, the data on the success of mediation in Indonesia contradicts that of Turkey. During 2017, more than 80% of cases were successfully resolved through mediation. Based on this data, it is necessary to compare the implementation of mediation between Indonesia and Turkey. This research is included in normative juridical research with a qualitative comparative approach. The results of this study indicate that there are similarities and differences in the implementation of mediation between Indonesia and Turkey. The equation lies in the terms of the mediator, the number of mediators and the place. The difference lies in regulation, mediation time, disputes that must be mediated, mediation implementation, mediator title, mediation fees, mediator audit, mediator membership fees and the strength of the peace deed

Various tests included in the lipid profile testing panel are used to predict the risk of cardiovascular disease, for monitoring treatment and for setting treatment goals. This review article revisits the various parameters in the lipid profile, the current clinical recommendations, and the recent guideline changes of testing requirements from a fasting to a non-fasting sample. The impact on various parameters when a non-fasting lipid testing is performed along with the criteria that should be used while using the new recommendations of non-fasting lipid testing are discussed. The article also reviews the different equations used for the calculation of low density lipoprotein cholesterol and its clinical applications in the current clinical guideline settings. It also briefly describes the increasing clinical importance of parameters like non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein-B and remnant cholesterol. Recent literature reviews conclude that risk prediction is similar and, in many cases, better with non-fasting lipid profile testing compared to a fasting state test. Hence it is recommended to use non fasting lipid profile testing for better risk prediction, patient and laboratory convenience, keeping in mind the cut off and flagging criteria for a repeat fasting test.

Statistics can be used to state a collection of facts, generally in the form of numbers arranged in tables or diagrams that describe or describe a problem. Applying statistics to research is an advantage that a researcher has when conducting research. In addition to making it easier for students to analyze data, students also have a relatively shorter time in calculating the data they get. Statistical data processing training using SPSS for students is carried out with face-to-face methods, and spss program application practices run smoothly and well. Activities are carried out gradually from the presentation of concepts that are continued by the practice of the given concepts. Participants follow the activity enthusiastically; this is indicated by questions and responses regarding the material provided. Statistical program training for students in this community service program that has been carried out is expected to provide the understanding and teachers' ability to use statistical programs that will have an impact on increasing research productivity at IAI Pangeran Diponegoro Nganjuk

The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate a novel sirolimus-coated balloon (SCB) compared with the best investigated paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB).There is increasing clinical evidence for the treatment of coronary de novo disease using drug-coated balloons. However, it is unclear whether paclitaxel remains the drug of choice or if sirolimus is an alternative, in analogy to drug-eluting stents.Seventy patients with coronary de novo lesions were enrolled in a randomized, multicenter trial to compare a novel SCB (SeQuent SCB, B. Braun Melsungen; 4 μg/mmQuantitative coronary angiography revealed no differences in baseline parameters. After 6 months, in-segment LLL was 0.01 ± 0.33 mm in the PCB group versus 0.10 ± 0.32 mm in the SCB group. The mean difference between SCB and PCB was 0.08 (95% CI: -0.07 to 0.24). Noninferiority at a predefined margin of 0.35 was shown. However, negative LLL was more frequent in the PCB group (60% of lesions vs 32% in the SCB group; P = 0.019). Major adverse cardiovascular events up to 12 months also did not differ between the groups.This first-in-human comparison of a novel SCB with a crystalline coating showed similar angiographic outcomes in the treatment of coronary de novo disease compared with a clinically proven PCB. However, late luminal enlargement was more frequently observed after PCB treatment.

Recently, Indonesia has taken a policy to merge all the research institutions, which were classified as non-ministerial institutions, into the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN –Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional). The BRIN is expected to (1) reduce the research costs for the research institutions; and (2) integrate and harmonize these institutions. On the other hand, the policy has drawn constitutional law scholars' attention. Many of them who concern that BRIN intervenes academic freedom in Indonesia. The main factor that causes the concern is the subordinate relationship between the President and the BRIN that restrain researchers from their academic activities. This study aims to reveal the potential problem in the light of academic freedom. This study is of position to argue that the existence of the BRIN will not become an issue if it does not disrupt the essential aspects of academic freedom. However, the necessity and the urgency of its existence still draws questions.

Tropical peatlands account for one of the largest carbon stores in the form of organic matter due to the accumulation of plant litter and waterlogged conditions. Recent anthropogenic disturbances, such as forest fires, agricultural conversion and drainage, in tropical peatlands have caused a vast amount of carbon to be released into the atmosphere, and microbial activities are impacted by these changes. A recent study showed that many phenol- and lignin-degrading bacteria prefer alkaline and neutral pH conditions, while tropical peatland conditions are acidic, possibly changing the mechanisms of the utilization of organic matter from peat soil. The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize phenolic compound-degrading bacteria from tropical peatlands under acidic conditions due to the lack of information on how the biological processes of microorganisms occur in this unique habitat. Two isolates show the capability to utilize phenolic aldehydes based on building blocks of lignin that are abundant in tropical peatlands, including hydroxyphenyl, guaiacyl and syringyl units. The identification of these isolates by 16S rRNA gene sequence shows that strain S38 is similar to Stenotrophomonas sp., while strain S46 is similar to Burkholderia sp. Further characterization of these isolates shows their ability to degrade 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and vanillin into phenolic acids within 24 hours of incubation and syringaldehyde within 7 days of incubation. In conclusion, these isolated bacteria show the ability to withstand the acidic environment of tropical peatlands and utilize lignin monomers through unknown metabolic pathways.

Introduction Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and biofloc systems (BFS) have been considered eco-friendly aquaculture technologies in the last few decades. However, which system performs better has become a common question for fish farmers. Thus, this study aimed to compare the performances of the two aquaculture systems in culturing Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, larvae. Materials and methods The experiment was conducted by culturing 3-day post-hatching (dph) tilapia larvae in either the RAS or BFS for 43 days. At the end of the culture period, apparent net protein utilization (NPUa), apparent fat utilization (NFUa) and apparent net energy utilization (NEUa), metabolic growth rate (GRmet) of Nile tilapia, and water quality were compared using analysis of variance. Results The result showed, in general, that RAS performed better than BFS. NPUa and NEUa were significantly higher in Nile tilapia cultured in RAS than that of BFS, p < 0.05. While NFUa was not significantly different, p > 0.05. GRmet of tilapia cultured in BFS was higher in the first week but showed to be the same during the second week to the fourth week. At the end of the culture period (43 days), the GRmet of tilapia cultured in RAS was significantly higher than those of fish raised in the BFS. Other results showed that water quality parameters, including total ammonia nitrogen (TAN-N) and nitrite nitrogen (NO2–N), were lower in RAS than in BFS during the culture periods. While urea and CO2 were significantly higher in the rearing water of BFS than that of RAS, p < 0.05. Conclusion The RAS had better performance than the BFS in culturing tilapia larvae.

Introduction Probiotics have been commonly practiced in commercial shrimp farms to increase pond production. However, these possibilities were based on the results of in vitro studies or laboratory in vivo trials. While studies on probiotic applications in commercial-scale farms are still rarely investigated, this study addresses the fate of probiotic species in ponds and the intestinal tract of white shrimps reared in an intensive aquaculture system. Material and methods Four commercial probiotic species (Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus fermentum, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas putida) were applied to the commercial shrimp ponds (@800 m2 area of high-density polyethene ponds) in the morning at a dose of 5 ppm once every 2 days in the first month, and once a week from second month onward. Then, the presence of the probiotic species was traced by collecting the rearing water and shrimp’s intestines on day 47 of culture to monitor their composition and abundance using high-throughput sequencing. Results None of the commercial probiotic species could be detected from both rearing water and shrimp intestinal tracts. These results suggest that the probiotic species had low viability and adaptability in the rearing pond as well as the shrimp intestines when applied on commercial-scale farms. These facts may explain the high variation in the yield among shrimp ponds in spite of having similar treatments. Conclusion Probiotic strains had low viability and adaptability in commercial farms. Thus, methods and strategies in probiotic application to commercial-scale shrimp farms should be evaluated and further developed to increase probiotic efficacy.
