Published: February 2024

The article reveals the algorithm of regional regulation of territorial development and analyzes the effectiveness of the socio-economic policy of the region. It is noted that the process of regulating territories contains goals of different levels of management, and responsibility for their implementation is assigned not only to the regional management apparatus, but also to municipalities and federal authorities. This is intended to help and eliminate possible gaps in the development of regions and their territories. Gaps in the functioning of regions depend on the macro environment, available resources, infrastructural and internal components of the region, which must be taken into account when planning and forecasting regional development, as well as when analyzing and assessing the economic climate and potential of a country’s economic entity. The sustainable development of the territories of the economic entity of the country and the region depends on the effective and efficient activities of all participants in market relations of municipalities and regional authorities, taking into account the territorial and spatial specifics of the population and society as a whole. It seems advisable to change the process of the project approach in the activities of the region and its territories, which requires certain changes in the operating conditions.

Authors:   Ural Federal University, Yekaterinburg, Russia, Babanov Kirill V.
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this article is to analyze changes in long-term financial investments of organizations in Russia in 2022, when the Russian economy is passing the period of adaptation to new realities. The study of such changes was based on the currently accepted official statistical information using the methods of analysis and synthesis. The relevance of the studied indicator is conditioned by its role in the financing of enterprises in the process of redistributive relations. At the beginning of the study the historical perspective of changes in this indicator is given. According to the presented perspective of changes, a decrease in the volume of long-term financial investments of organizations in Russia in 2022 was revealed. This decrease in general terms is explained by three factors: redistribution of long-term investments into short-term ones, refusal from long-term investments and revaluation of long-term investments. The changes in the structure of short-term and long-term financial investments by individual objects of investments are analyzed. This analysis identified specific types of short-term investments that received reallocated funds from long-term investments. For the remaining two factors, hypotheses are proposed for their impact on the overall decline in the long-term financial investment indicator. It is concluded that the three factors presented are a manifestation of general economic uncertainty. The conclusions of the article present a forecast on the development of the situation with long-term financial investments of organizations in 2023, as well as highlight the positive aspects of the changes that have occurred.

Potential Problems with Having a Culture that is Too Strong in Modern Organizations
Authors: - Dr. Moses Chalwe , - Leah Nyimbili
Published: February 2024

In each and every society today, culture is a very important concept for both individuals and organizations because it identifies the fundamental set of ideas, rituals, beliefs, meaning, values, norms and language, the way in which things are to be done in an organization and in the life of an individual. Therefore, organization’s culture encompasses what has been good and what has worked in the past. These practices can often be accepted within the organization by long serving members of an organization due to the fact that they have a collective interest towards building of a unified organization through shared system of beliefs, habits and traditions. In organizations there are deep-set beliefs about the way in which work should be organized, the way in which authority should be exercised and punished (Cole and Kelly, 2011). Organizational culture is not something that is written down or necessarily is easily stated. Rather, it is an intangible mixture of rules, relationships, values, custom which when taken together describe the distinctive feel of the organization. It is within this culture that individuals work and from which they learn the norms and values to which they are expected to subscribe. This is the arrangement and inter-relationship of the components parts position of an organization. Whereas culture is a hidden structure that can be seen and drawn in organization charts. Thus the organization Structure may reflect culture. This essay will describe three potential problems with having an organizational culture that is too strong.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on health, society, and the economy globally and in Ethiopia. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the use of intra-action reviews (IARs) to identify best practices, gaps, and lessons learned to make real-time improvements to the COVID-19 response. The International Health Regulations (2005) has recommended that countries share COVID-19 best practices and lessons learned with peer countries through IARs. Using WHO established methodology, we conducted the IAR of Ethiopian’s COVID-19 response from Hamle, 2021 to Hamle 2022. The review covered 11 thematic areas(pillars): (1)country-level coordination, planning and monitoring; (2) Regional coordination and risk communication and community engagement; (3) Vulnerable population, (4) Epi-surveillance, (5) laboratory, (6) Point of entry, (7) Case management and HBIC, (8) IPC, (9) MHPSS, (10) Admin section, (11) Digitalization. We held six focus group discussions with a variety of stakeholders from a range of government departments and non-governmental organizations. We used the results of the focus group discussions and other key findings from the IAR to formulate recommendations. The IAR identified key areas for improvement at national and subnational levels across all 11 pillars. Priority recommendations included improving multispectral coordination and monitoring of COVID-19 response plan indicators; strengthening implementation of public health response measures, including case detection, isolation, infection prevention and control, contact tracing; and improving data collection, analysis, and reporting to inform public health risk assessment and response. The IAR is a useful tool for reviewing progress and identifying areas to improve the COVID-19 response in real time and provides a means to share information on areas of need with COVID-19 response partners and contributes to International Health Regulations (2005) core capacity development.

Despite playing such vital role in societal progress, the women are not getting the respect due to them. Even today, majority of the country is male dominated and women have to do every act according to men. Violence and discrimination against women is common place on world. One of the most heinous crimes against women- is the act of non-consensual coercive sexual intercourse with a woman. It violates, not only the body and conscience of the victim, but also disturbs the social order. A victim of rape suffers several problems like, social stigma in addition to psychological trauma. However till today there is no efficient law to provide a compensation or rehabilitation of victims of rape in India. Moreover there are several countries which provide a proper remedy to victims. Rape is the offence which occurred in every country instead of advanced or backward, the difference is only the ratio. In this paper I will discuss the women’s movement and major legislative provisions throughout the world towards compensation and rehabilitation of Rape Victims.

Published: February 2024

Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a term used to address the management of waste and garbage. Given the communal living of human beings, the generation of a substantial amount of waste has transformed Solid Waste Management into a global concern. Defined as non-liquid waste material devoid of utility for human beings, solid waste stems from diverse sources such as domestic households, commercial enterprises, industrial operations, medical facilities, and institutional activities. In India, solid waste significantly contributes to environmental degradation, with improper management posing potential hazards.
Over time, India has employed various techniques for Solid Waste Management. However, traditional methods, once effective, are now deemed less efficient and contribute to environmental harm due to population growth and shifts in the types of generated waste. Consequently, newer, more effective techniques have been introduced for SWM, aiming to minimize environmental impact.
Krishnanagar city, much like other urban areas, grapples with solid waste management challenges, leading to a continual rise in waste production. Consequently, it becomes imperative to handle municipal waste in a systematic, cost-effective, and secure manner. This study reviews the current state of SWM in Krishnanagar city, offering a comprehensive overview. Through an analysis of all functional aspects related to SWM, the study draws conclusions and provides recommendations to enhance the existing waste management system in Krishnanagar city.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one the most common endocrinological pathology of female reproductive organs especially in reproductive age group. According to WHO currently 8-13% females are suffering from PCOS worldwide while, 70% of the cases remain undiagnosed. The seriousness of the disease is attributed to it for being a leading cause of female infertility due to anovulation. The comprehensive effect of hyperandrogenism and menstrual irregularities leads to adverse psychological consequences in a female’s life. Its conventional treatment includes diet management, combined-oral contraceptive pills (OCPs), dexamethasone, metformin etc. which may have side-effects like increased weight, nausea, vomiting, thrombosis and many more. Alternative medicine like Homoeopathic treatment with Individualised and holistic approach can provide a gentle management for PCOS. This article contains a series of four cases showing successful treatment of PCOS and emphasizes its effectiveness as a potential alternative to present conventional medicines available for PCOS.
Conclusion: Homoeopathic treatment was given with Individualised medicines which were selected exclusively in each case. This treated PCOS in a gentle and short frame of time in all four cases. The medicines prescribed were Pulsatilla nigricans in two cases, Sabina and Folliculinum in other two cases respectively. Since incidences of PCOS is increasing day-by-day such evidence-based medicinal studies need to be conducted to elaborate scope of Homoeopathic treatment in polycystic ovarian disease.
E-Waste Management Rules 2022: Issues And Solution For Environmental Protection
Authors: - Mitu Bala , - Rudrendra Nidhi
Published: February 2024

An important global concern is the handling of electrical and electronic waste, particularly in India, a rapidly growing electronics market. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated demand and growth, with India contributing over two million tonne’s of its electronic waste every year. India produced 1.6 million tonne’s of e-waste in the fiscal 2021–22, ranking third in the world, however, only half a million tons was gathered and treated. As India transforms to a digital economy, and electric mobility, this number is anticipated to rise dramatically as a result of the rising usage of the electronic gadgets, solar panels, and electric automobiles.
E-waste must be managed carefully because it contains dangerous materials that, if improperly handled or disposed of, are damaging “to the environment and human health.” In its 192nd Report on the “Functioning of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the Department of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science, Technology, Environment, and Forests came to the conclusion that e-waste will become a significant issue in the future” due to modern lifestyles, rising living standards, and increased economic growth. In order to control e-waste and safeguard the environment in India, this article examines the problems and potential solutions. It also critically evaluates the recent legal adoption and effective execution “of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, which went into effect on April 1, 2023, These regulations mark the beginning of a new Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system for recycling e-waste.”
A Statistical Analysis of Wireless Body Area Network using Clustering Based Routing Protocols
Authors: - Pranjali Bagri , - Jaya Dipti Lal
Published: February 2024

Recently, research on wireless body-area sensor networks (WBASN) or wireless body area networks (WBANs) has gained great importance in medical applications, and now plays an important role in patient monitoring. Clustering is the most important task in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by data aggregation through each cluster head (CH). The development of technology has seen comfort in the domestic and professional life of an individual. However, such survival was not able to meet medical emergencies during the pandemic COVID-19 and other health surveillance scenarios. As a result, it is important to design an energy-efficient routing system for WBAN. Existing routing algorithms focus more on energy efficiency than security. A Secure Optimal Path-Routing (SOPR) protocol is proposed to identify and discover routes in WBAN that are secure against black-hole attacks. In this paper the sensor's wireless capability has been tested with a simulator to detect and transmit signals across a wide range of frequencies and to ensure that data is transferred successfully. CARF reduces the maximum work done by relay nodes in case of overloaded nodes and thereby increases the energy distribution in the network. The proposed CARF design reduces packet loss and time delay, thereby increasing network lifetime compared to other fuzzy and heuristic methods used for routing in WSNs. The proposed algorithm maintains more than 75% of the residual energy in the network at a minimum initial energy level of 1 J to enable data syncing. A SAC-TA approach for data aggregation in WSNs is presented. False injection attacks are identified based on traffic analysis at the time of the route discovery process. One-time key generation algorithm is introduced to eliminate malicious nodes from the network. The presented paper proposes a congestion-free routing framework for data transmission from source to sink nodes in WSNs. Congestion-aware routing mechanisms modeled using fuzzy sets (CARF) include operations such as establishing non-localized nodes, by which more paths can be created for traffic distribution, and predicting an optimal congestion.

Global Warming and Its Efect on India
Authors: - Imtiyaz Ahmed Bhat
Published: February 2024

Scientists have spent decades figuring our what is causing global warming. They’ve looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. But the amount and pattern of warming that’s been measured can’t be explained by these factors alone. The only way to explain the pattern is to include the effect of greenhouse gases )GHGs) emitted by humans.
To bring all this information together, the United Nations formed a group of scientists called the International Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. The IPCC meets every few years to review the latest scientific findings and write a report summarizing all that is known about global warming. Each report represents a consensus, or agreement, among hundreds of leading scientists.
One of the first things scientists learned is that there are several greenhouse gases responsible for warming, and humans emit them in a variety of ways. Most come from the combustion of fossil fuels in cars, factories and electricity production. The gas responsible for the most warming is carbon dioxide, also called CO2. Other contributors include methane released from landfills and agriculture (especially from the digestive systems of grazing animals), nitrous oxide from fertilizers, gases used from refrigeration and industrial processes, and the loss of forests that would otherwise store CO2.
Different greenhouse gases have very different heat-trapping abilities. Some of them can even trap more heat than CO2. A molecule of methane produces more than 20 times the warming of a molecule of CO2. Nitrous oxide is 300 times more powerful than Co2. Other gases, such as chlorofluorocarbons (which have been banned in much lower than CO2, none of these gases adds as much warmth to the atmosphere as CO2 does.
In order to understand the effects of all the gases together, scientists tend to talk about all greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO2. Since 1990, yearly emissions.
In order to understand the effects of all the gases together, scientists tend to talk about all greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO2. Since 1990, yearly emissions have gone up by about 6 billion metric tons of “Carbon dioxide equivalent” worldwide, more than a 20% increase.

Authors: - Jane Grace Dsouza , - Shruthi B , - Sanjeev Rai B , - Beena Antony
Published: February 2024

Non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (NFGNB) are a heterogeneous group of aerobic non-spore forming bacilli. Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight- Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) is a quick, precise diagnostic method that could identify the isolates at the species level. The aim of the study is to identify the non-fermenters isolated from various clinical infections by MALDI-TOF analysis and to detect the antibiogram of these isolates. The non-fermenters were isolated from various clinical specimens, plated on Blood agar and MacConkey agar and incubated at 37⁰C for 24 hours. Identification was done on the basis of colony morphology, Gram stain, and MALDI-TOF Analysis. Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing was done by Kirby- Bauer Disc Diffusion Technique using commercially available antibiotics on Muller-Hinton Agar. A total of 360 samples were studied. The majority of the non-fermenters were from Blood/ Body fluids (39.72%). Acinetobacter spp (31.67%) was the most common isolate, followed by Pseudomonas spp (22.50%). Other non-fermenters like Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Burkholderia spp, Elizabethkingia spp, Achromobacter spp, Chryseobacterium spp, Ralstonia spp, Pandoraea spp, Rhizobium radiobacter, Sphingomonas spp, Ochrobactrum spp, Myroides odoratimimus and Brevundimonas spp were rarely isolated non-fermenters. Most of the strains were multi drug resistant to commonly used antibiotics like Cephalosporins, Aminoglycosides and Carbapenems. Our results showed that identifying non-fermenters using MALDI-TOF MS is a reliable and rapid technique that shortens the time to initiate appropriate therapy and even the length of the hospital stay.

Despite the entire developmental scenario, the tribal communities from major part of India are devoid of many opportunities in and around their micro world surroundings, so legging behind the current developmental trend. This study uses document and literature analysis method for examining, interpreting and to uncover meaning and significance with respect to gross enrollment of schedule tribes. This paper provides the loopholes and proposes some connotative concern for the educational empowerment of the ST community with an introduction of ICT in education. The findings highlighted the systemic decrease of gross enrollment ratio from primary to upper primary i.e., decreased by 13.6 percent, from upper primary to secondary decreased by 16.8 percent and from secondary to higher secondary decreased by 33.8 percent. Further from primary to higher secondary the average decreased by 64.2 percent approximately. Based on the review this paper also proposed a model for empowering the ST community by encountering different sensitive dimensions.
LCEMILCP: Design of a Low-complexity Energy Harvesting Model Via Incremental Learning and Continuous Power Quality Optimization Process in Wsn

Optimization of energy harvesting requires design of low complexity & high efficiency models that can work with maximum power gain levels. To design such models, researchers have proposed multiple techniques, that can assist in improving power quality via selection of optimum harvesting sources in multisource environments. But these models require continuous reconfiguration of static rules, which limits their efficiency when applied to large-scale network scenarios. Moreover, most of these models also showcase higher complexity due to reconfiguration, which reduces their scalability performance. To overcome this limitation, a novel Low-Complexity Energy Harvesting Model via Incremental Learning and Continuous Power Quality Optimization process is discussed in this text. The proposed model initially uses a Q-Learning based power evaluation method, that is capable of generating high-efficiency configurations of multisource harvesting devices. This is cascaded with design of a Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO), that assists in performing continuous power quality optimizations. The combined model is capable of selecting hybrid harvesting source configurations, and incrementally tune it for optimum harvesting performance. This is achieved via modelling a reward function that incorporates power gain along with low-complexity source selection process. The selection process is further enhanced via PSO based continuous learning for improving harvesting source configurations. The proposed model was tested on a wide variety of network scenarios, and its QoS efficiency levels were compared with different state-of-the-art methods. Based on this comparison, it was observed that the proposed model is capable of improving power gain by 8.3%, while minimizing harvesting delay by 6.5%, and improving harvesting throughput by 5.9%, which makes it useful for large-scale multisource harvesting applications.

Custom quiz generation is a process of automatically generating quizzes tailored to individual learners. This paper presents a novel approach for generating custom quizzes based on the learner's preferences, knowledge level, and learning objectives. The system starts by collecting information about the learner, such as their preferred topic, difficulty level, and desired length of the quiz. It then uses this information to select appropriate questions from a question database. The questions are selected based on their relevance to the learner's preferences and their ability to assess the learner's knowledge. To ensure the quizzes are engaging and effective, the system also incorporates adaptive techniques. These techniques modify the quiz content and format based on the learner's responses, providing personalized feedback and adjusting the difficulty level accordingly. The generated quizzes can be used for various purposes, including self-assessment, practice, and knowledge reinforcement. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in generating custom quizzes that meet the learner's specific needs and preferences.

Published: February 2024

Chapter eight of Uganda's constitution highlights the judiciary's crucial role as the protector of the constitution, with the authority to exercise judicial powers bestowed upon them by the people. The judiciary is essential to upholding the constitutionality of laws, acts of parliament and customs and identifying and addressing inconsistencies. Article 128 Clause 1 of Uganda’s 1995 Constitution emphasizes the importance of maintaining the judiciary’s independence, ensuring it remains a bastion of integrity and fairness. However, recent cases shed light on the consequences of political interference, which is becoming an increasingly worrisome issue in Uganda. Thus, the research focuses on some sources of political interference in Uganda's judicial proceedings and its persistence, including an opaque and politicized process of appointments, pressure applied to judges by the executive branch and powerful interests, and disrespect for court orders by the executive and legislature. The consequences of such interference in the democratic justice system are discussed, and they have led to a decline in the independence of the judiciary, covering the breakdown of public trust in the judiciary, unfair legal judgements, and weakened constitutional principles. The findings highlight Uganda's urgent need for action and an independent judiciary. This study applies doctrinal legal research methodology to discuss the continued political interference in the recent judicial proceedings in Uganda since 2006. The study recommends constitutional reforms to curb the overgrowing political interference in courts’ judicial independence and preserve constitutionalism principles by examining this theme.
