Published: December 2022

This study was conducted to investigate the physical and biochemical attributes of three Indian apple (Malus demostica Borkh.) cultivars as affected by elevation and genotype. High performance liquid chromatography was used to analyse sugars, organic acids and phenolic composition. Fructose and glucose were the most dominant sugars irrespective of genotype and altitude, while malic acid was the dominant organic acid. Chlorogenic acid was the main phenolics and valeric acid the most abundant fatty acid in apples. The variation in the fruit weight amongst different apple genotypes was larger (133.40 to 186 g) than firmness (10.32 to 11.87 N). The genotype Golden Delicious grown at 1800 msl had the highest ascorbic acid (28.80 mg/100 g) and total antioxidant (9.98 Î¼mol Trolox/g) content amongthe genotypes and elevations studied. The total phenol content was positively correlated with the elevation ranging from 82.5 mg/100 g (1400 msl) to 231 mg/100 g (1800 msl). A significant genotype Ã— elevation interaction was found for sugars and organic acid content, minerals and physical attributes. This study confirms the role of elevation as effective factor on the physical and nutritional quality in apple fruits.

Published: December 2022

Ensuring higher productivity and profitability, gainful employment and adequate supply of food, feed, fodder and fiber for a growing human and livestock population, along with maintaining environmental sustainability are major challenges in agricultural production systems of arid and semi-arid regions. Integrated farming systems (IFS) comprising of many agri-innovations have the potential to meet such requirements. An association of individual and interdependent components of farming on a given piece of land, taking cognizance of available natural resources and the differential requirement of a wide range of farming community, remains the guiding principle of IFS. Research conducted across arid and semi-arid regions is reviewed here in order to understand the role of IFS in enhancing production, income and livelihood; minimizing risk associated with farming in arid and drier semi-arid regions; utilizing and conserving the resources; and in enhancing mitigation and adaptation to climate change. It has been conclusively established that IFS involving integration of different enterprises (crop, livestock, horticulture, forestry, poultry and fish) enhanced productivity, profitability, resource use efficiency, generated more employment and minimized resources degradation and risks. IFS, therefore, could be a key form of farming intensification needed for achieving future food security and environmental sustainability in arid and semi-arid regions. Promoting adoption of the location-specific IFS in future is linked directly with coherent policy, institutional commitment, infrastructure development, better coordination among different agricultural and rural development programme and agencies, and a stimulus package of incentives. The relevance of IFS in adaptation to and mitigation of climate change is also discussed.

Published: December 2022

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is an annual aromatic herb that belongs to Apiaceae family. Present investigation was carried out to explore the molecular characterization in 24 coriander genotypes. For molecular characterization two DNA based molecular marker techniques, viz. random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR), were used. A total of 27 polymorphic primers (18 random and 9 ISSR) were used. Amplification of genomic DNA of 24 genotypes, using RAPD analysis, yielded 83 fragments, in which 57 (70.46%) were polymorphic. The 9 ISSR primers produced 37 bands across 24 genotypes, of which 17 (49.81%) were polymorphic. Based on the similarity matrix data dendrogram were prepared using UPGMA method. Genotypes were also classified into groups and several subgroups. Principal coordinate analysis (PCA) confirmed the separation of coriander genotypes into groups comparable to those from UPGMA analysis. The high rate of polymorphic lines generated by RAPD and ISSR markers indicated that the method is efficient to analyze molecular diversity in coriander genotypes and that the molecular divergence can be used to establish consistent heterotic groups between coriander genotypes.

Authors: RAM R A , SINGHA ATUL , KUMAR A
Published: December 2022

As of today, biodynamic agriculture is practised across 60 countries of the world. Cow pat pit (CPP) and biodynamic preparations (BD) are the key components of biodynamic agriculture. However, there a is dearth of scientific explanation on account of their mode of action. CPP and BD preparations are very effective in compost production, soil health management and eventually, enhancing the yield and quality of crop produce. Efficacies of these preparations were evaluated with isolation and characterization of beneficial microbes. Study revealed that CPP contained maximum gram positive and gram negative bacteria (184 Â± 14 Ã— 105cfu/g), (225 Â± 9 Ã— 105cfu/g) and Rhizobium (310 Â± 24 Ã— 107cfu/g), while BD-507 contained the highest number of actinomycetes (792 Â± 194 Ã— 106cfu/g) and Azotobacter (201 Â± 14 Ã— 105cfu/g) among the all preparations. Actinomycetes isolated from CPP and BD-507, showed ammonia, indole acetic acid (IAA), siderophore and HCN producing activities. Out of total isolated microbes from CPP and BD preparations, 9 isolates showed high ammonia, 23 IAA, 18 siderophore and 12 HCN producing activities. Based on the study, it may be suggested that CPP and BD preparations may be used as bio-inoculants and combined with compost in organic production of various crops.

Published: December 2022

In the present study 30 gladiolus genotypes were evaluated for different traits and reaction to two virulent strains of Fusarium, viz. IARI isolate (F. oxysporum f. sp. gladioli â€“ Fog isolate 1) and Pantnagar isolate (F. oxysporum f. sp. gladioli - Fog isolate 2). The two healthy uniform sized corms were planted in individual pots (12â€) filled with potting mixture (soil: FYM: sand; 2:1:1) in five replications. Before planting, the corms were treated with suspension of Fusarium (3 Ã— 106/ml) for 24 hr. Among the genotypes, Dhanwantri (14.59%), Pusa Unnati (14.59%), Swarnima (16.54%), and hybrid Smokey Lady Ã— Oscar (22.92%) were found tolerant to both the Fusarium isolates. The maximum plant height, spike length, rachis length and mean number of florets/spike were noted in Pusa Unnati, but the earliest spike emergence took place in Jyotsana (87.37 days), earliest opening of first floret was noted in Melody (103.79 days). The maximum mean corm weight (87.58 g) was noted in Jyotsana, while maximum diameter was found in Dhanwantri (6.56 cm). Leaves and corms were sampled at 60 days of planting for estimation of different biochemical parameters, viz., total chlorophyll, total phenol, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and H2O2 peroxidation. The tolerant genotypes had higher levels of leaf total chlorophylls and total phenols. The H2O2 evolution and malondialdehyde (MDA) content showed marked increment due to in vivo inoculation of the pathogen. Correlation studies with plant mortality index (PMI) showed a positive correlation for DSI (0.899), while negative correlations were estimated for MDA content (0.879**) followed by H2O2 formation (0.862**), total phenol (r = 0.810**) and total chlorophyll (r = -0.754**). Results showed that genotypes, namely, Dhanwantri, Pusa Unnati, Swarnima, and hybrid Smokey Lady Ã— Oscar were Fusarium wilt tolerant along with desirable agronomic traits, thus can be recommended for commercial cultivation.

Published: December 2022

In arid regions of the world, drought stress, lack of water availability and micro nutrient deficient sandy soils affect normal growth and development of plants resulted in poor growth and yield. The aim of the study was to evaluate combined effects of mulching and zinc application on growth, physiological responses and yield of capsicum (Capsicum annuum L.) under high altitude cold desert conditions. Field experiment was conducted in the cold desert environment of trans-Himalayan Ladakh region with five levels of zinc (ZnSO4), viz. 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 kg ha-1 with and without polythene mulching during 2013 and 2014 cropping season. Results showed that mulching with zinc significantly improved leaves membrane stability index (MSI) and relative water content (RWC) and also helped in reducing leaf water loss (LWL) and electrolyte leakage (EL) indicating better plant physiological responses. Significant improvement in leaf chlorophyll content was also observed. Both mulching and zinc application remarkably enhanced plant growth characters and capsicum yield. But, during 2014, sudden decrease in minimum and maximum temperature at flowering and fruiting stage adversely affected proper fruit set and its development resulting into poor capsicum yield. Application of mulch also reduced irrigation water requirement of plants. Knowledge from the present study indicated that combined application of ZnSO4 and mulching could be the feasible strategy against weather abnormality, water savings and obtaining better yield of vegetables grown in zinc deficient sandy soils of arid regions.

Squash melon (Citrullus vulgaris var. fistulosus Steward) is a rainfed crop in arid region but in these areas, the rainy days are very less. Due to this reason, the farmers could not get desired yield. Hence supplemental irrigation with water conservation practices is required for getting the economic return from this crop. Hence an experiment was conducted at ICAR-Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Regional Research Station, Bikaner, Rajasthan to study the effect of three mulching treatments (No mulching, straw mulching (2.5 tonnes/ha) using local shrub Leptadenia pyrotechnica and black polyethylene plastic mulching of 25 micron thickness) and four FYM doses (0, 20, 30 and 40 tonnes/ha) on growth, yield, WUE and economics of Squash melon grown with supplemental irrigation during kharif seasons of 2012 and 2013. Vine length, numbers of fruits per plant and yield of squash melon were significantly influenced by FYM, mulching and their interaction during both the years of experiment. Application of FYM caused significant improvement in squash melon yield up to 30 tonnes/ha. Averaged across mulching treatments, application of FYM @ 20, 30 and 40 tonnes/ha resulted 47.8, 79.5 and 88.4% higher yields compared to control. Application of mulch brought significant improvement in yield and yield components and the response of mulch varied with the level of FYM application. Plastic and straw mulching resulted 26.6 and 48.6% higher yield over no-mulch treatment. Straw mulch recorded the longest vine length, the highest numbers of fruits per plant and yield. The highest yield was recorded with application of 30 tonnes FYM /ha combined with straw mulch.

Authors: BÜYÜKKILIÇ YANARDAĞ Asuman
Published: December 2022

Şanlıurfa province has 36% of the agricultural areas in Turkey and 64.1% of the agricultural areas in the GAP Region. With approximately 600 000 tons of chemical fertilizer consumption in 2021, it is the province with the most fertilizer consumption in Turkey. This causes some negative and high environmental risks such as salinization in the soil, heavy metal (HM) accumulation, deterioration of nutrient balance, damage to microorganism activity, and formation of eutrophication in the region. The objective of this study was to determine the HMs (Zn, Ni, Mn, Cu, Mo, Pb, Cd) concentrations of the soils and some commercial fertilizers overused, and evaluate their interactions with soil properties. The average values of HM concentration of the soil are as follows; 32.65 and 46.88 mg kg-1 Zn; 649.03 and 730.58 mg kg-1 Mn; 79.86 and 95.54 mg kg-1 Ni; 0.15 to 0.27 mg kg-1 Cd; 0.26 and 0.97 mg kg-1 Mo; 8.54 and 18.67 mg kg-1 Pb; 19.45-25.37 mg kg-1 Cu. HM contents of some fertilizers were found to be very high in this study. This causes an increase in the HM concentration in the soil. HMs concentrations of several soil samples exceeded the threshold level of Europe standards except for Ni, Mo, and Mn. Study results can help the authorities to develop effective fertilizer management strategies for the Harran Plain, which has once again revealed the necessity of applying agricultural activities such as fertilization with a fertilization program prepared under expert control according to the results of soil analysis.

Published: December 2022

Screening genotypes have a crucial role to increase the efficiency of selections in plant breeding program. Therefore, this study was emphasized to determine combining ability and the association between traits among themselves and yield. The experiment was conducted at Haramaya University Research Station (Raare) for two years (2018 and 2019) using 4x7 alpha-lattice design with three replications. Pooled analysis of variance revealed highly significant (p≤0.01) variations among crosses for grain yield and related traits. According to the result of combining ability analysis, parental line L3 was identified as a good general combiner for grain yield, ear diameter, 1000-kernel weight, and days to maturity. Similarly; L1, L2, and L8 proved as the best general combiner for number of kernels per row. Crosses L1×L6, L3×L5, L4×L6, L4×L8, and L5×L7 were found good specific combiners for 1000-kernel weight. Furthermore, the cross L5×L6 was the best specific combiner for ear diameter, whereas L4×L7 for both number of kernels per row and 1000-kernel weight. Likewise, the crosses L1×L5, L3×L8, L6×L7, and L7×L8 were identified as the best specific combiner towards earliness. Moreover, thousand kernel weight showed significant positive correlation with grain yield, conversely, days to anthesis, days to silking, ear aspect, and Puccinia sorghi exhibited significant negative correlation with grain yield at genotypic and phenotypic levels. Ear length, 1000-kernel weight, number of kernel rows per ear, and Turcicum leaf blight had positive direct effect on grain yield at genotypic and phenotypic level. In general, the result presented in the study might be useful for further breeding process to improve the productivity of maize.
IMPLIKACIJE OBAVEZNE VAKCINACIJE PROTIV COVID-19 NA RADNI ODNOS
Authors: Rajić Ćalić Jovana
Published: December 2022

The pandemic of the Covid-19 virus caused numerous consequences for labor relations. In light of the topic of the work, they refer to the position of job candidates and employees and their infection by the mentioned virus and vaccination, as a potential means of protection. Since a person who has already been infected with the aforementioned virus can get sick again, the solution is sought in vaccination against Covid-19. This raised the question, can the estab- lishment, that is, the survival and duration of the employment relationship be conditioned by vaccination? This with the fact that the condition of mandatory vaccination would open the issue of economic pressure on the employee, who ensures his existence with his earnings. On the other hand, setting the vaccine as a condition sine qua non in the employment relation- ship can undermine the autonomy of the employee’s will to make such a decision on his own, according to his own beliefs. In addition to all that, it should be kept in mind the connection between the right to health and the right to access information, and that the decision to vac- cinate some employees may be based on the availability of relevant information on the effec- tiveness of vaccines. Such knowledge can be prolonged. The issue of employee vaccination is a complex segment within labor law, as it includes the protection of public health, as well as the employer’s obligation to ensure safe and healthy working conditions. To that should be added the safety and health of those employees who, due to their health condition, may not be vacci- nated, as well as the safety of persons with disabilities, who belong to the group of particularly vulnerable employees. In the light of consideration of these issues, it is necessary to take into account aspects of the attitude of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Vavřička and others v. the Czech Republic, taken, surprisingly, in April 2021, which establishes that mandatory vaccination, under certain conditions, can be “necessary in a democratic society”. On the other hand, there is also the judgment of the Supreme Court of Israel, which took the position that employers must make reasonable adjustments to the workplace so that the work environment is “inclusive” even for employees who have not been vaccinated. The paper will analyze whether vaccination can be a condition for access to the labor market, for enjoying the right to work, as well as other labor rights.
Cross-Border Cooperation Between the European Union and Neighbouring Countries. Practical Facilitations in the Form of Local Border Traffic
Authors: Witkowski Piotr
Published: December 2022

Cross-border cooperation includes a broad range of contacts between representatives and institutions of national authorities, universities, educational, cultural and sport associations, economic entities, non-governmental organizations and communities living in the territories situated on both sides of the border. Restrictions and border barriers, which hamper the possibilities of cross-border movement of persons and goods, are detriments to implementation of this form of international cooperation. Community rules of local border traffic (LBT) are the facilitations of this cooperation. It becomes possible with the signing of international agreements between the Member States of the European Union and what are known as ‘third party’ countries neighbouring with them. This prospect is fully confirmed by the Polish-Ukrainian local border traffic agreement. Due to its implementation, recovery in cross-border relations between these countries has been confirmed by statistical surveys.
The Determinants of Labour Demand in the Lubelskie Voivodship
Authors: Maleszyk Piotr
Published: December 2022

The aim of this study is to characterise labour demand in the Lubelskie region and some of its determinants. The first part briefly discusses the theoretical aspects of labour-demand, including its measurement methods and main determinants. The second part offers a statistical analysis of labour demand in the Lubelskie Voivodship against national trends. It proves that labour demand in the Lubelskie Voivodship demonstrates slower growth and a less growth-favourable structure, and that the chances to find work there are smaller than in the country as a whole. However, an analysis of the main determinants of labour demand conducted in the next part of the study suggests that lower labour-demand growth in comparison to the country as a whole can be more attributable to factors related to the product-market situation rather than excessive increase in wages. It was also indicated that an important reason for such disproportions might lie in the relatively high significance of rural areas and agriculture, and also in the weaker position of the region’s business sector compared to the country as a whole.
The Territorial Growth Pole Model as a System of Development Factors on the Example of Poland
Authors: Wojnicka-Sycz Elżbieta
Published: December 2022

Growth pole strategies have been undertaken in the world since the 1960s with mixed results. In the article a complex approach to this phenomenon is proposed and tested for Poland. The territorial growth pole is considered to be based on a system of developmental factors forming natural, financial, physical, intellectual, socio-economic and administrative types of capital that create suitable conditions for location of innovative branches and the positive externalities connected with them. Areas affluent in developmental factors forming the above forms of capital have the best results both in terms of GDP dynamics and its level.

Regionalne aspekty wzrostu gospodarczego w Niemczech i Polsce. Próba analizy porównawczej
Authors: Götz Marta
Published: December 2022

Podjęcie analizy czynników decydujących o wzroście gospodarczym uzasadnione jest rolą, jaką odgrywa on w kształtowaniu poziomu życia. Spojrzenie na wzrost gospodarczy wymaga podejścia eklektycznego, ale i elastycznego – adaptującego różne koncepcje i akcentującego różne wymiary rozwoju ekonomicznego poprzez łączenie ujęcia teoretycznego i praktycznego. Czynniki wzrostu można analizować z różnej perspektywy. Niniejszy artykuł proponuje następujące ujęcia: podażowe (odwołujące się do tradycyjnej funkcji produkcji), branżowe, popytowe, wskaźnikowe (czyli kondycji gospodarczej) i biorące za punkt wyjścia klimat gospodarczy. W pierwszej części opracowania zarysowano schemat integrujący główne czynniki determinujące wzrost gospodarczy. Stał się on podstawą dla opracowania cząstkowych, a następnie syntetycznego wskaźnika wzrostu. W dalszej kolejności podjęto próbę oszacowania tych wskaźników, uwzględniając zarówno element statyczny (bieżący stan), jak i dynamiczny (zmiany, jakie zaszły) dla regionów Niemiec i Polski – 16 Bundesländer i 16 województw. Otrzymane rezultaty ukazują zróżnicowanie wewnętrzne potencjału obu krajów. O ile w Niemczech wskaźnik syntetyczny oceniający potencjał wzrostu gospodarczego w 16 Bundesländer waha się w granicach 0,25-0,54, o tyle w Polsce ta rozpiętość wynosi 0,18-0,62. Ponadto, podczas gdy w Niemczech w ramach poszczególnych aspektów wzrostu regiony najsłabsze są z reguły tymi szybciej rozwijającymi się, o tyle w Polsce nie można potwierdzić takiej zależności. Monotonia „regionów-liderów” w zakresie wskaźników cząstkowych opisujących poszczególne aspekty wzrostu jest widoczna w obu krajach, wyraźniejsza jednak w przypadku Niemiec.

W artykule dokonano analizy dynamicznych zależności pomiędzy realnym PKB i wybranymi zmiennymi polskiego rynku pracy: liczbą pracujących, płacami realnymi, ofertami pracy, liczbą aktywnych zawodowo. W tym celu zastosowano metodologię SVECM (strukturalnych modeli wektorowej korekty błędem). Oszacowano długookresową funkcję popytu na pracę. Następnie przedstawiono wpływ wstrząsów makroekonomicznych na zmienne modelu. Uwzględniono wstrząs zagregowanego popytu, technologiczny, zasobów pracy, niedopasowań oraz płac. Na podstawie przyjętej metodyki zdekomponowano wariancję poszczególnych zmiennych na realizacje szoków. Innowacją zastosowaną w niniejszej pracy jest uwzględnienie ofert pracy w modelu. Pozwoliło to na oszacowanie wpływu wstrząsu niedopasowań pomiędzy popytem a podażą pracy na poszczególne zmienne. Otrzymane oszacowania wskazują, że w krótkim okresie na zatrudnienie największy wpływ wywiera szok zagregowanego popytu. Jednak do wyjaśnienia wariancji zatrudnienia w znacznym stopniu przyczynia się również wstrząs technologiczny oraz niedopasowań. W długim okresie większego znaczenia dla kształtowania się zatrudnienia nabiera wstrząs płac oraz zasobów pracy. Wykazano również pewne trwałe efekty wstrząsu niedopasowań, które mogą być zinterpretowane jako bezrobocie strukturalne. Kolejnym wnioskiem jest procykliczność cykli klasycznych płac oraz antycykliczność ich cykli wzrostowych. Dodatkowo ujawniono występowanie efektów przyłączenia i zniechęcenia na polskim rynku pracy.

Published: December 2022

Humour/laughter is a human entity and activity. It takes place in almost all kinds of social interactions. Most of us cannot help laughing at something funny in our daily routines. Laughter is the fundamental mode of expression common to human beings. From this perspective, Simon is considered one of the most significant playwrights who uses laughter elements skilfully in his works. He is called a “laugh machine". Marvin Neil Simon (1927-2018) was an American playwright, screenwriter, television joke writer, and one of the most popular and successful dramatists commercially and artistically in the history of American theatre. This paper aims to explore how Neil Simon uses three traditional humour/laughter theories: The Superiority Theory, the Incongruity Theory, and the Relief Theory, in his Brighton Beach Memoirs (1983). It is an autobiographical play and one of Simon’s masterpieces in Simon’s BB Trilogy. This play is rich enough to explore three traditional humour theories. It deals with one family’s survival struggle just before the World War II during the Great Depression. It was a time of hardships for millions of people in the late 1930s. While Father makes all decisions, a passive-aggressive mother is self-sacrificing and manipulates his sons. The study adopts the qualitative analysis research method incorporated into analysis of dramatic texts.

Abstrak

Permasalahan food waste atau sampah sisa makanan telah mencapai tahap yang mengkhawatirkan. Untuk menanggulangi problematika ini, pemerintah Indonesia telah membentuk berbagai regulasi yang mengatur sistem pengelolaan sampah, termasuk sampah makanan. Sayangnya, ketentuan hukum yang dibuat saat ini masih berorientasi kepada konsep ekonomi linear yang konvensional sehingga jumlah sampah di tingkat nasional belum menunjukan penurunan yang signifikan. Dalam menanggapi permasalahan multisektoral ini, dibutuhkan solusi yang mendorong koordinasi lintas sektor pula. Oleh karena itu, melalui penelitian dengan metode yuridis normatif ini akan ditelaah mengenai pembentukan konsep hukum ideal dalam menanggulangi problematika sampah makanan di Indonesia melalui penerapan konsep ekonomi sirkular dan pendekatan quadruplehelix yang meliputi peran pemerintah, pelaku ekonomi atau pelaku industri, masyarakat, serta akademisi di dalamnya. Dari penelitian ini, didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa dibutuhkan beberapa penyesuaian yang dilakukan untuk dapat mengakomodir konsep ekonomi sirkular dalam tatanan hukum nasional termasuk di dalamnya perencanaan mengenai insentif, sosialisasi, dan standarisasi. Adapun masing-masing pihak dalam pendekatan quadruplehelix juga direkomendasikan untuk melakukan perubahan yang cukup signifikan seperti perubahan gaya hidup di masyarakat dan transformasi menuju industri hijau oleh para pelaku industri.

Abstract

Food waste problems has reached an alarming stage. To overcome this problem, the Indonesian government has established regulations that focus on waste management systems, including food waste. Unfortunately, the current legal provisions are still oriented to the conventional linear economic concept so that the amount of waste at the national level has not shown a significant decline. In order to respond to this multi-sectoral problem, solutions that encourage cross-sectoral coordination are highly needed. Therefore, in this normative juridical research, it will examine the ideal legal concept in tackling the problems of food waste in Indonesia through the application of circular economy concept and quadruplehelix approach which includes the role of the government, economic actors, the community, and academics in it. From this research, it can be concluded that some adjustments are needed to be able to accommodate the circular economy concept in the national legal order, including planning on incentives, socialization, and standarization. As for each party in the quadruplehelix approach, it is also recommended to make significant changes such as changes in lifestyle by the community and transformation towards green industries ecosystem by the economic actors

The aim of the study was to determine the enzymatic activity of mixed saliva in orthodontic patients before, during and after treatment. The determination of α-amylase in the mixed saliva of 120 patients was performed - only 360 studies. Statistical development was performed by SPSS19 program. The α-amylase activity study showed a 2–2.5-fold increase in its activity during treatment in all study groups (р <0.005, t≥2). The increase in activity may depend on the reflex stimulation of the salivary glands, as the activity is influenced by factors such as the nature of the food, cleaning of the teeth, and so on. After the removal of modern orthodontic appliances, the activity of α-amylase decreased, reaching the initial values ​​that we had received before starting the treatment.

Background: Clinical audit (CA) is a standard method for improving the quality of health service. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the CA status of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) clinical services at the sleep disorders research center of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences (KUMS), Iran. Methods: The current research was conducted on 91 patients with OSA records in 2019 - 2020. The CA steps were performed, and the data extracted from the checklist were described using SPSS software version 16. Results: The age average of the patients was 50.10 (standard deviation = 13.16), ranging from 16 to 76 years. The services were provided to all patients (100%) based on indicators such as training in a healthy lifestyle related to OSA (weight control, not drinking alcohol, and sleep health behaviors) and appropriate prescribing of medications and devices, including continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP). Follow-up on prescribing CPAP and BiPAP devices, informing patients about the frequency of possible surgeries, and follow-up treatment were weak indicators and did not follow the standards. Conclusions: Based on the results, the treatment follow-up indicators of OSA patients are not in compliance with the standards, and attention must be paid to these indicators in providing clinical services to OSA patients in western Iran.
