Authors: Pałasz Michał
Published: April 2024

The paper addresses the issue of the potential impact of a university’s presence in the rankings of climate friendly HEIs on its brand and activities, filling a research gap in this area. It starts with a discussion of the concepts of a brand, its personality and strength, presenting selected brand rankings as well as criteria for rankings of climate friendly universities, having outlined the specificity of a climate responsible HEI brand. Afterwards it presents answers to the research questions which were obtained using the desk research method obtained using the desk research method: how the Jagiellonian University is currently performing in the rankings of climate friendly universities and what aspirational reference points can be identified for it. The subjects of the study were three leading rankings published in 2023, which assessed HEIs in terms of their climate actions and the position of the Jagiellonian University in them – both globally and in relation to groups of universities from Poland, Central Europe, European Union and the UNA Europa network. As a result of benchmarking, groups of HEIs brands were mapped as they could constitute reference points for the activities of the Jagiellonian University and other Polish universities. The impact of climate friendly HEIs rankings on the brand and activities of a university is based not only on the need to meet participation criteria, but also on creating social pressure related to comparing brands, and on the need to ensure the coherence of the brand of a climate friendly university on the principle of positive feedback loop.

Published: April 2024

Introduction -The effects of intoxication caused by both Visha (Poison) and Madya(alcohol) are alike. Madya is Tamoguna Pradhana, hence gradually diminishes the functioning of mental faculty, and its excess consumption leads to a condition called Madatyaya (Alcoholism). Many formulations have been mentioned in the manage-ment of Madatyaya, and Shatavari Punarnavadya Ghrita is one such formulation mentioned in Chikitsa Sara Sangraha of Vangasena for the management of Madatyaya which is to be administered internally in the form of Paana (drink). Materials and methods – Review of Shatavari Punarnavadya Ghrita is done from Chikitsa Sara Sangraha of Vangasena, and other classical references and here analyzing the effectiveness of Shatavari Punar-navadya Ghrita will be the objective. Observation and results- Most of the ingredients of Shatavari Punar-navadya Ghrita are Shothahara (reduces edema), Vishahara (acts against poison), Balya (improves strength) and Rasayana (rejuvenating) and possess Hepatoprotective, Diuretic and Antioxidant properties. Conclusion -Hence, this Yoga can be helpful in the management of Madatyaya. Thus, here is an attempt to analyze the efficacy of Shatavari Punarnavadya Ghrita.

Energy Consumption Forecasting through Data Mining
Authors: Bhaskar T. , Mali Renuka , Kasat Vaishnavi , Navathar Siddhant , Shahaji Kanjavane
Published: April 2024

Forecasting is vital for effective energy management systems to project future energy requirements and establish demand-supply equilibrium. In this study, we propose to evaluate the effectiveness of a new weather-free forecasting model. The model is created using advanced data mining techniques on an extensive database that contains relevant historical power production data. The motivation behind developing a weather-free model stems from the challenges associated with obtaining reliable weather data in specific scenarios and the desire to reduce computational complexity. By eliminating the reliance on weather data, our model offers a promising alternative approach to energy forecasting, potentially enhancing accuracy and efficiency. In this work, our objectives are twofold. Firstly, we aim to evaluate the interplay between anomaly detection techniques and forecasting model accuracy. Anomalies in energy consumption patterns can significantly impact forecasting accuracy, and thus, understanding their detection and management is crucial. Secondly, we seek to determine the optimal performance metric among three defined metrics explicitly tailored for this application. By addressing these objectives, we aim to contribute to advancing energy forecasting methodologies, providing valuable insights for practical implementation in energy management systems. Our findings have the potential to inform decision-making processes and optimize resource allocation in energy distribution networks, ultimately leading to more sustainable and resilient energy infrastructures.

OPTIMAL CONDITIONS FOR EXTRACTING HIGH-QUALITY PECTIN FROM WATER HYACINTH (Eichhornia crassipes) FOR LESS SOLUBLE HYDROGEL PRODUCTION
Authors: BAOTHONG Erawan , CHAREONSUDJAI Pisit
Published: April 2024

The research aimed to extract high-quality pectin from water hyacinth for less soluble hydrogel production. The product adds value to water hyacinth waste and helps solve environmental problems. The high degree of esterification pectin can be prepared as a hydrogel, which can be used in various pollution treatment applications. The quality of pectin depended on raw materials and extraction conditions. The optimum condition was initially predicted using the response surface method (RSM). Three extraction variables were studied, including pH 1.0-4.0, temperature 50-110ºC, and extraction time 30-240 min. A total of seventeen runs including five replicate runs were studied. Functional groups of pectin were studied using Fourier Transform Infrared spectrophotometry. The degree of esterification and emulsifying properties were determined for assessing the quality of extracted pectin. The result revealed that the extraction conditions strongly affected both the yield and the quality. The condition of pH 2.5, 110ºC, and 30 minutes had the highest degree of esterification of 94.13 % but low yield (1.42%). On the other hand, under the conditions of pH 1.0, 110ºC, and 135 min extract time had the highest yield of 3.85% (about 76.6% of pectin content) however the degree of esterification is low at 43.25 %. Two mathematical models were proposed for yield and number of ester groups. The result will be used for the selection of high-quality pectin to produce insoluble hydrogel for pollution treatment in the future.

Published: April 2024

Corn (Zea mays L.) production in Mexico is in deficit despite generating 27 million Mg. In southern Sonora, the planted area has grown significantly over the last four years, from 544 to 680 thousand Mg produced in 2018 and 2021, respectively. Ninety-seven percent of the production corresponds to improved white-colored maize from transnational companies; however, there are no commercial plantings of colored maize. The objective of this research was to estimate grain yield and its agronomic components in improved purple corn hybrids in southern Sonora, Mexico, over three years using the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction method (AMMI). A randomized, complete-block experimental design with three replications was used. The plots were two 4 m long furrows with a stocking density of 100 000 plants ha-1. The variables recorded were: grain yield (RG), thousand-kernel weight (PMG), ear length (LM), grains per row (GH), rows per ear (HM), and hectoliter weight (PH). The results showed statistical differences among years, hybrids, and their interaction (AxH) in all variables. The AMMI model was highly effective, allowing the identification of hybrids 1, 2, 7, and 10 with greater stability in the year 2021 associated with RG, PH, and LM, obtaining outstanding averages in all variables and being more appropriate for the climatic conditions of southern Sonora. On the contrary, the most sensitive hybrid with the highest interaction was 4, associated with GH and HM; hybrids 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12 were stable with negative values in 2019 and 2020.

Published: April 2024

The confluence of cloud-based Accounting Information Systems (AIS) adoption and financial reporting quality within Nigeria's Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector is explored in this study. Given the dynamic landscape of the ICT industry characterized by technological advancements, evolving market dynamics, and regulatory shifts, ICT firms are increasingly turning to cloud-based AIS to streamline their accounting processes and adapt to changing business requirements. The population of the study consists of all eight (8) Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enterprises that are listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group as of 31st December 2022. As a result, this study delves into the impact of Cloud-Based AIS adoption on the Financial Reporting Quality of Listed ICT Firms in Nigeria over a decade-long period from 2013 to 2022. Utilizing a Panel Regression Technique (Random Effect Model), the study identifies a significant overall effect of Cloud-Based AIS on the Financial Reporting Quality of Listed ICT Firms in Nigeria. Moreover, it highlights the significant influence of Cloud Security Investment on financial reporting quality among ICT firms in Nigeria, while Cloud Expenditure Growth is found to have no statistically significant effect. The study emphasizes the need for strategic resource allocation and exploration of cost optimization opportunities, given that cloud expenditure growth may not directly impact financial reporting quality. However, the study recommends for prioritizing cloud security investments to safeguard financial data integrity, mitigate cybersecurity risks, and enhance trust in financial reporting practices, thereby bolstering investor confidence.
Determinación del riesgo de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en la población peruana. Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar 2022
Authors: Guevara Tirado Alberto
Published: April 2024

Introducción: la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) es una enfermedad cuya causa implica factores endógenos y exógenos, representando un problema de salud pública mundial. Estudios de detección de prediabetes por medio de los niveles de glucosa basal, aplicados a nivel nacional, serían altamente costosos económica y logísticamente, sin embargo, conocer a la población en riesgo es viable en base a parámetros antropométricos, antecedentes de salud y estilos de vida, entre otros, que se pueden obtener con cuestionarios diseñados para detectar el riesgo de padecer esta endocrinopatía.
Objetivos: analizar el riesgo de DM2 en la población peruana.
Materiales y métodos: estudio observacional, analítico, retrospectivo y transversal. La población fue de aproximadamente 29.000 adultos no diabéticos cuyos datos provinieron de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES 2022). Se utilizó el cuestionario de riesgo de diabetes de Bang en base a los datos de la encuesta. Las variables fueron: sexo, edad, índice de masa corporal (IMC), nivel de educación y presión arterial media. Se realizó la prueba de chi-cuadrado de Pearson, coeficiente V de Cramer (V), t de student, Odds Ratio crudo y ajustado mediante regresión logística binaria.
Resultados: las medias de IMC y de presión arterial media fueron más altas en adultos con riesgo de DM2. El puntaje promedio de riesgo en hombres fue de 4,24 y en mujeres de 2,92. El 49% de los hombres estuvo en riesgo de DM y un 22,30% las mujeres. El 76,30% de los adultos de más de 40 años estuvo en riesgo y el 9,40% de los adultos jóvenes. Hubo una asociación estadísticamente significativa débil en el nivel educativo (V=0,054) y fuerte en el sexo (V=0,690). Los hombres tuvieron una probabilidad 9,81 veces mayor de riesgo que las mujeres, y los adultos de más de 40 años presentaron una probabilidad 53,72 veces mayor de DM2 que los adultos jóvenes.
Conclusiones: el riesgo de DM está en un alto porcentaje en la población peruana, principalmente asociado al sexo y a partir de los 40 años, lo cual se acompaña de importantes alteraciones del IMC en las mujeres y de la hipertensión arterial en los hombres. El uso del cuestionario de riesgo de diabetes de Bang (que requiere solo de mediciones antropométricas, datos de estilos de vida, antecedentes personales y familiares) sería beneficioso para la detección de grupos de riesgo a nivel nacional.

Obesity and dyslipidemia are the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It has been shown that dietary supplementation combined with exercise at appropriate intensity improves lipid profile and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. This study investigates the effect of purple sweet potato extract and swimming training on the lipid profile of a hyperlipidemic rat model. Twenty-five male Wistar rats were grouped into standard diet and high-fat diet and given their respective diet for two weeks. Afterward, they were randomly divided into five weight-matched groups; normal control (C; n=5), high-fat diet (HF; n=5), exercise (E; n=5), purple sweet potato extract (PSP; n=5), and exercise combined with purple sweet potato extract (EPSP; n=5). Purple sweet potato extract was given 100 mg/day through oral gavage for three weeks. Swimming exercise was performed for 30 minutes/day, five days a week, for three weeks at an intensity of 6% of body weight. At the end of the experimental period, intracardiac blood samples were drawn to measure lipid profiles. Data analysis technique using a one-way ANOVA test with a significant level of 5%. The findings revealed that the concentration of TC and LDL was highest in HF. The combination of exercise and purple sweet potato extract significantly reduced LDL and increased HDL levels compared to exercise or PSP alone (p ≤ 0.05). It indicates that purple sweet potato extract combined with swimming exercise is shown to be effective in improving lipid profiles in hyperlipidemic rat models.

Published: April 2024

Background and objectives: Microbial infections have made significant contributions to the global health burden, particularly in developing countries with lagging economies. Challenges arising from the evolution of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria have led to the search for novel antimicrobial agents, especially those derived from medicinal plants. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the antibacterial activity of ethyl acetate crude extracts and essential oils from C. bonariensis collected from the Mbeya region of Tanzania.
Methods: Initial experimental activities involved preparation of crude extracts and essential oil, which were then, tested for antimicrobial activity against selected test organisms (Staphlococcus aureus (ATCC29213), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC6051), Escherichia coli (ATCC8736), Salmonella typhi (ATCC6539), and Candida albicans (DSM1665)) by using the disc diffusion method. On the other hand, the chemical composition profiling of ethyl acetate and essential oils was performed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
Results: The crude extracts and essential oil of C. bonariensis leaves from Tanzania demonstrated to have antibacterial and antifungal activity. The minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of leaves ethyl acetate crude extract was 25 mg/mL > MIC > 12.5 mg/mL for tested organisms, with the exception of C. albicans, where the MIC was 50 mg/mL > MIC > 25 mg/mL. Similary, for all tested organisms, the MIC of leaves essential oils was :1 > MIC > l:2, except S. typhi, where the MIC was 2:1 > MIC > 1:1. On the other hand, 2,4-di-tert-butyl phenol in leaves crude extracts had the highest percentage composition of peak area (41%); whereas, in essential of, 2,4-Di-tert-butyl phenol had the highest percentage composition (38.8%).
Conclusions: The present findings have demonstrated antimicrobial potential of ethyl acetate crude extract and essential oil of C. bonariensis leaves from Tanzania, and validate the wide use of the plant by local communities, particularly the local community of Mbeya region in Tanzania.

Menurut National Bureaus Of Economic Research (NBER) Amerika Serikat, resesi adalah penurunan signifikan dalam aktivitas ekonomi yang tersebar diseluruh ekonomi yang terbesar lebih dari beberapa bulan, biasanya terlihat dalam PDB Rill, pendapatan Rill, lapangan kerja, produksi industri, dan penjualan grosir-eceran. Adapun penyebab terjadinya resesi ekonomi yaitu adanya guncangan ekonomi secara tiba-tiba, adanya utang yang berlebihan, adanya gelembung aset investasi berlebihan di pasar saham atau real estate, terlalu banyak inflasi, terlalu banyak deflasi, dan adanya perubahan teknologi penemuan baru guna meningkatkan produktivitas dan membantu perekonomian dalam jangka panjang. Resesi dapat mengakibatkan penurunan secara simultan pada seluruh aktivitas ekonomi seperti lapangan kerja, investasi, dan keuntungan perusahaan. Resesi ekonomi yang dulu pernah terjadi pada tahun 1997 diperkirakan terjadi lagi di tahun 2023 ini sehingga hal ini menjadi penyebab gejolak negatif di pasar saham global, khususnya Indonesia. Penelitian ini merupakan kajian literasi dengan menggunakan penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya terkait dengan dampak resesi ekonomi bagi masyarakat di Indonesia, informasi terbaru dari sumber-sumber yang relevan, dan berbagai laporan tentang topik yang sedang diteliti. Hasil dari penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa resesi berdampak negatif bagi masayarakat yang mengakibatkan kesenjangan antara miskin dan kaya, jumlah angka pengangguran meningkat, pengeluaran pemerintah semakin besar dan semakin banyak perusahaan mengPHK karyawannya.

В статье проведен анализ стадий развития партнерских отношений в форматах франчайзинга производственно-торговых предприятий в современных социально-экономических условиях. Рассмотрены шесть стадий развития партнерских отношений, через которые проходят все франчайзи вне зависимости от сферы бизнеса. Проанализированы факторы успеха франчайзинга. Показано, что на данный момент в России достаточное количество успешно функционирующих зарубежных компаний, которые основаны на франчайзинговых отношениях, среди них Subway, Баскин Роббинс и др. Но большинство франчайзинговых фирм функционирует в Москве и Санкт-Петербурге, что говорит о недостаточном развитии франчайзинга в регионах. Отсутствие квалифицированных специалистов в сфере франчайзинга и недостаток информации о данной системе сотрудничества тормозят процесс развития рынка и рыночных отношений. Таким образом, необходимы принятие мер по корректировке российского законодательства в сфере франчайзинга, а также проведение образовательных мероприятий среди специалистов и предпринимателей для ускорения развития франчайзинговой системы в России.

The article analyzes the stages of development of partnerships in the franchising formats of industrial and commercial enterprises in modern socio-economic conditions. Six stages of partnership development are considered, which all franchisees go through, regardless of the business area. The success factors of franchising are analyzed. It is shown that at the moment there are a sufficient number of successfully functioning foreign companies in Russia that are based on franchise relationships, among them Subway, Baskin Robbins, etc. But the majority of franchising firms operate in Moscow and St. Petersburg, which indicates the insufficient development of franchising in the regions. The lack of qualified specialists in the field of franchising and the lack of information about this system of cooperation slow down the process of market development and market relations. Thus, it is necessary to take measures to adjust Russian legislation in the field of franchising, as well as conduct educational events among specialists and entrepreneurs to accelerate the development of the franchise system in Russia.
