The long-tailed macaque ( Macaca fascicularis ) is among the Cercopithecidae primates that can be found in Gunung Keriang Recreational Park (GKRP), Kedah, Peninsular Malaysia. Its population size, human–primate interactions, and public perceptions have never been revealed. This study aimed to estimate the population size, evaluate interactions between macaques and visitors, determine the perception of visitors and locals toward primates, and assess the potential of GKRP as ecotourism site. The population size of long-tailed macaques was estimated through census walk, whereas the interactions between visitors and macaques were evaluated through scanning sampling technique. The perception of visitors and local people and the potential of GKRP as ecotourism site were determined through a questionnaire. Results indicated that 72 individuals of M. fascicularis were found ranging in GKRP. The interactions between visitors and macaques in GKRP were primarily constituted of positive interactions. Contrast perceptions between visitors and local people toward GKRP primates were obtained that were due to different experiences with primates encountered by both respondent groups. Visitors were inclined to accept macaques, whereas a majority of locals dislike them. GKRP has a potential to become an established ecotourism site considering values this recreational park has given to the visitors. Research findings were anticipated to increase the knowledge on human–primate interactions and ecotourism management that ultimately contributed toward the management of long-tailed macaques and their natural habitat.

Lower urinary tract problems were increasingly encountered in small animal practice. Urinary stones and crystals are common problems in these cases and are still a problem in cats and dogs. Dilution of urine or restriction of mineral intake is a way to reduce urolithiasis/crystalluria. Viburnum Opulus was prescribed as anti-urolitiatic in human medicine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Viburnum Opulus in urolithiasis or crystalluria in companion animals. For this purpose, 42 animals were presented with urinary system problems and diagnosed with urolithiasis or crystalluria, which were included in the study and divided into two main groups (21 calcium oxalate, 21 struvite) and two subgroups (Control and Study). The urinary score was noted as the presence of pollakiuria, crystals in the microscopic examination, hematuria, stranguria, proteinuria, leucocytes, and blood in the urine. The mean ages were 3.81 and 3.95 for the calcium oxalate and struvite groups, respectively. It was determined that the clinical urinary score of the calcium oxalate control group was 11.39 before the treatment and increased to 14.06 at the end of 2 weeks. However, it was observed that this score decreased from 10.71 to 8.71 in the calcium oxalate study group. In calcium oxalate-diagnosed animals, a decrease in clinical scores was significant in the Viburnum opulus group than in controls. The urinary scores decreased in both struvite subgroups, but no statistical differences were determined. All animals except the calcium oxalate control group were clinically healthy at the second visit. Using Viburnum opulus as an integrative medical approach will provide safe and effective treatment for urolithiasis/crystalluria.

Lebanon must build a pipeline system to carry the hydrocarbons from offshore to the shore. With no available studies and not much experience in this domain, designing a pipeline system in Lebanon is a topic of great concern. In this research, a prototype sample for the Lebanese offshore pipeline system is designed taking into consideration different parameters such as the drainage area, skin factor, Dietz shape, production interval, and the wellhead pressure. The system carries the gas from block 9 offshore Lebanon to a suitable production platform using different simulation software, mainly PROSPER. Different scenarios are modelled where results showed an optimum flow rate of 322.834MMscf/day and a wellbore pressure of 6460.73psi at 3000psi wellhead pressure. Further studies are encouraged to be carried out to transport the hydrocarbons from the wellheads of block 9 to the Zahrani processing plant via specified hydraulics engineering software.
