Authors: Sawaneh Banna
Published: March 2023

The study investigated strategic management and planning practices for public service delivery (PSD) in public service organisations (PSOs) in The Gambia. The study adopted “qualitative research design”, through the conduct of in-depth interviews with senior public servants and beneficiaries of the selected PSOs, with a sample size of 20 using purposive sampling technique. The findings from interviews conducted with senior public servants and beneficiaries of PSOs showed that strategic plans of PSOs were formulated, implemented and evaluated in consultation with both internal and external stakeholders to accommodate divergent views and interests of influential groups and individuals in the study area. Also, the study established that PSOs reviewed and effected slight changes to their strategic plans to keep abreast with the environment during the implementation process. The paper concluded that strategic management has shaped PSD in PSOs; strategic plans implementation impacted on PSD; and that strategic plans implementation helped in achieving the goals and objectives of PSOs in PSD in the study area.

Published: March 2023

This study examines household accessibility to domestic water supply in Lokoja, North Central Nigeria. Both primary and secondary data were obtained for this research. A systematic random sampling technique was adopted to gather relevant information from two hundred and ten households on their sources of water supply, frequency of trips to water collection points and their perception of quality of domestic water available to them. Relevant information was obtained from archival materials. Tables were employed to analyse the socio-economic composition of the respondents and the sources of water supply in their neighbourhoods. Likerts scale model was used to evaluate the perception of satisfaction on quality and adequacy of domestic water supply in the city. Analysis of Variance was also used to determine the level of satisfaction on the quantity and quality of domestic water supply across various residential areas in Lokoja. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to determine the strength of the relationship between domestic water supply on the one hand and income level, education profile and residential characteristics of households on the other hand. Findings reveal that more than 70% of households residing at Zango Daji and Army Barracks areas rely on borehole for their regular water supply. Well water and water from vendors are the principal sources of water for residents of Felele area and these constituted 48.1% and 25.9% respectively. Approximately 100%, 57.7% and 34.6% of urban households that reside at Old Poly Quarters, Lokongoma Phase 1 & 11 and Kabawa areas respectively indicated that they rely on irregular and unpredictable public tap water supply provided by the Kogi State Water Management Board.Urban households perceived and rated the availability and quality of domestic water supply as dissatisfied. There was a positive correlation between sources of domestic  water supply and urban households income level as well as education profile, which was statistically significant (r = .196, n = 189, p = .01) and  (r = .282, n = 189, p = .01). The study recommends the provision of potable water to urban households in order to reduce the vulnerability of urban residents to water borne diseases in Lokoja and environs.
APPRAISAL OF COMPREHENSIVE SCHEME OF INCREASING TAX BASE PROPOSED BY FPCCI
Authors: Malik Bilal
Published: March 2023

Pakistan’s pace of development has been hindered due to a huge informal economy and a narrow tax-base scheme. Sequential successive governments have been unable to remove the formidable impediments due to multifarious factors like cultural mindset, flawed policies, organizational constraints, and rampant corruption. A large segment of the economy is not contributing its fair share into the national revenue collection mainly/primarily due to a lack of ownership by the masses in general and businesses in particular. Sequential successive governments have failed to allay their apprehensions relating to the tax-based system, thereby winning extensive cooperation of FBR’s potential to collect taxes, which has been severely compromised because of its non-inclusive approach. This paper aims to critically examine the political legitimacy, operational feasibility, and financial sustainability of the proposals for the Broadening of Tax Base (BTB) scheme proposed by the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI).

NATIONAL INTERNAL SECURITY POLICY: AN ASSESSMENT
Authors: Virk Sarfraz
Published: March 2023

For the last few years, Pakistan has faced many traditional and nontraditional security threats. Among them, the fatal threat is terrorism and extremism in the country, which has largely been connected with the Afghan war. After 9/11, terrorism and extremism got triggered in Pakistan, in which the country faced heavy consequences in terms of economy, loss of life, and destruction of infrastructure. This grave situation compelled the government to develop a comprehensive national security policy to address the growing threats. In 2014, the government enacted the first NISP 20142018. The focus was to initiate military operations in FATA areas to eliminate the terrorist’s hold, which achieved some positive outcomes in the short run. In 2018, prior to the general elections, the previous government announced another NISP 2018-2023. The implementation of that newly announced security policy was handed over to the new government. It was observed that the policy could not achieve the desired outcomes, as there were certain loopholes in the formulation and implementation of these stages. In this regard, the focus of the current research is, to critically analyze the drawbacks of NISP for the period of 2018-2023.

Exploring factors explaining the scarcity of climate protests in East Asia
Authors: Komatsu Hikaru , Hsieh Yi-Huan
Published: March 2023

Climate protests have been recognized as a catalyst for large-scale social transformation. Previous studies focused on protests in Western countries where protests were abundant. Few studies paid attention to regions where protests were scarce. It has thus remained unknown why East Asia has few climate protests. To explore potential reasons, we conducted a comparative study. We examined factors correlated with climate protest significance in different countries. Protest significance was correlated with the following four factors: (1) the density of non-governmental organizations (_r_ = 0.498), (2) working hours (_r_ = -0.558), (3) trust in strangers (_r_ = 0.648), and (4) the priority of the environment over the economy (_r_ = 0.621). The former three factors were, in turn, associated with weak individualism in East Asia. Our study thus illustrates cultural dimensions to understand protest scarcity in East Asia. This study also highlights climate actions that are effective in East Asian cultural contexts.
Youth Patterns of Use of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) Use, Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Waves 4 – 5.5
Authors: Selya Arielle , Shiffman Saul , Hannon Michael
Published: March 2023

INTRODUCTION: Youth use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) is a continuing concern, making it important to assess evolving patterns, especially as non-tobacco, non-menthol (NTM) flavors were withdrawn for pod-based (but not disposable) ENDS in February 2020.

METHODS: Trends in past-30-day (P30D) ENDS use and smoking prevalence, usual device type, flavor (tobacco, mint/menthol, or fruit/sweet/other), and regular/last-used brand in PATH Waves 4 (2017), 4.5 (2018), 5 (2019), and 5.5 (2020) were examined. Shifts between 2019-2020 in flavor use for pods and disposables were examined. Wave 5.5 is uninformative regarding brand use because common disposable brands were not queried.

RESULTS: P30D ENDS use peaked in 2019 at 8.6% of all youth, subsequently declining by nearly half to 4.5% in 2020. Meanwhile, P30D cigarette smoking declined to an all-time low (1.3%) in 2020. Within this overall decline, consumption shifted to disposable ENDS, which increased nearly 10-fold (from 5.0% to 49.2% of P30D ENDS users). Relatedly, use of fruit/sweet/other flavors remained similar overall between 2019 and 2020 (approximately 75%-80% of P30D ENDS users), but the use of these flavors became concentrated in disposable ENDS in 2020 (a 12-fold increase from 4.4% to 58.4% of fruit/sweet/other-flavor users).

CONCLUSIONS: PATH results show similar trends to other US national surveys in youth ENDS trends. The removal of non-tobacco, non-menthol flavors in pod-based ENDS (while remaining available in disposables) has likely driven youth towards disposable devices, resulting in continued high use of fruit/sweet/other flavors, which are now predominant in users of disposable ENDS.
Occupation from a perspective of complementarity - Part 2 - Proposals for situating a complementarity perspective in occupational science
Authors: Turnbull David , Barnard Ross
Published: March 2023

We build on Bohr's (1948) conjecture that complementarity has applications in domains of knowledge beyond the discipline of physics. Specifically, we examine the relevance and usefulness of Bohr’s notion of complementarity along with his revised definition of the term ‘phenomenon’ to the field of occupational science. We discuss how Bohr's (1948) redefinition of the term ‘phenomena’ is congruent with Husserl’s (1931) introduction of the term ‘intersubjectivity’ into phenomenology. We propose a reconceptualisation of occupation that, we suggest, aligns with Bohr’s suggestions, as well as with Husserl’s concept of intersubjectivity. We consider conditions concerning the concept of ‘phenomena’, before proceeding to state logical requirements for complementarity in relation to occupation. We argue that occupation is not a phenomenon; it involves a multiplicity of phenomena (some of which might be complementary). This leads to the development of a number of suggestions concerning complementarity between aspects of occupation. We take into account two discrete approaches to occupational science: the transactional perspective of occupation (TPO) and the occupational perspective of health (OPH). We propose that each of these perspectives is amenable to consideration from the perspective of complementarity.

The parameters that determine the choice of the reactor are the reactor power, catalyst activity (intensity per unit volume), the total required amount of catalyst, the value of the adiabatic change in the temperature of the reaction mixture at complete conversion, the nature of the change in the reaction rate and selectivity with the depth of conversion, etc. the results of the theoretical optimization showed the need for the implementation of the process of partial oxidation of isobutylene to methylacrolein on an antimony-tin oxide catalyst in an isothermal reactor. To determine the optimal conditions for conducting the process on an antimony-tin catalyst, the choice of the type and main structural dimensions of the reactor for the partial catalytic oxidation of isobutylene to methylacrolein, we used the method of mathematical modeling, which is based on data on the rates of chemical transformation. To obtain quantitative characteristics, a series of experiments was carried out by influence of the composition of the reaction mixture and the rate of the oxidation of isobutylene to methylacrolein. The kinetic regularities of the process of catalytic oxidation of isobutylene to methylacrolein on an antimony-tin catalyst were recorded on a flow-type unit with a small volume reactor without a gradient. Reaching the stationary regime in this reactor occurs in 15–25 minutes

Phase equilibria in the Ag8GeS6-Ag8GeTe6 and Ag8GeSe6-Ag8GeTe6 systems were studied using differential thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffraction technique. The T-x phase diagrams were constructed. It has been found that both systems are partially quasi-binary and are characterized by the formation of continuous series of substitutional solid solutions between Ag8GeTe6 and high-temperature cubic modifications of Ag8GeS6 and Ag8GeSe6. When solid solutions are formed, the temperatures of polymorphic phase transitions of these compounds decrease. This leads to the stabilization of the ion-conducting cubic phase in the 40 mol% Ag8GeTe6 range of compositions at room temperature and below. The regions of homogeneity based on Ag8GeS6 and Ag8GeSe6 are 15 and 10 mol.%, respectively. The crystal lattice parameters of the identified solid solutions were calculated from the XRD data, and their linear dependence on the composition is shown

The report presents data about the Cuban iguana population (Cyclura nubila nubila) inhabiting Cayo Sijú, an 88 ha island off the southwest coast of Cuba. Population densities estimated using strip transects were higher in xerophytic coastal scrub (6.72 ± 6.25 iguanas/ha) than in typical sand vegetation (3.63 ± 2.71 iguanas/ha) and mangrove forests (2.9 ± 2.9 iguanas/ha). The total population for the cay was estimated at 350 individuals with an adult biomass of approximately 11.67 kg/ha. Densities varied minimally between three habitat types and between the wet and dry seasons. No significant density fluctuations were found one month after Hurricane Ivan affected the cay. Iguana burrows were encountered most frequently in beach dunes. Analysis of 30 scat samples revealed eight species of plants, with the fruits of Chrysobalanum icaco and the leaves of Batis maritima being the most frequently identified items. The remains of crab (Cardisoma guandhumi) and insects of the order Hemiptera were also present in scat samples. Sexual dimorphism was evident in this population, with males being significantly larger in eight morphological variables. The snout-vent length measurements were larger in this population than in those reported in two cays off the south coast of Cuba.
Impact of different agricultural practices on the genetic structure of Lumbricus terrestris, Arion lusitanicus and Microtus arvalis
Authors:   Inst. of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry and Radiochemistry, Saarland Univ., Saarbrücken, Germany, Kautenburger R.
Published: March 2023

Little attention has been given to date to the potential influence of agricultural land use methods or farming practice on the genetic variability of native species. In the present study, we measured the genetic structure of three model species —Microtus arvalis, Arion lusitanicus and Lumbricus terrestris— in an agricultural landscape with a diversity of land use types and farming practices. The aim of the study was to investigate whether different management strategies such as the method of land use or type of farming practice (conventional and ecological farming) have an impact on the species’ genetic structure. We used RAPD markers and multilocus DNA fingerprints as genetic tools. Genetic similarity was based on the presence or absence of bands, which revealed a wide range of variability within and between the analysed populations for each model species. Cluster analysis and Mantel tests (isolation by distance) showed different genetic structures in the populations of M. arvalis from sampling sites with different land use. However, the main factors influencing the genetic variability of these vole populations were geographic distances and isolation barriers. The genetic variability observed in A. lusitanicus populations correlated with geographic distance and the type of land use method, but no correlation was found with different farming practices. Our preliminary results suggest that the genetic structure of L. terrestris populations is influenced by the agricultural land use method used at the different sampling sites but not by the geographic distance.

Published: March 2023

In order to study morphometric variations in Odontotermes obesus (Rambur), samples from nineteen nests were statistically analyzed for mean, standard deviation, standard error, coefficient of variability and confidence interval (95%) and analysis of variance (Model II ANOVA), The mean values of the different population samples were compared with the student t-test, following the Minitab version and Sokal & Rohlf (1973). In the study of external characters, measurements form a very important component, particularly for identification of species. However, the reliability of the measurements depends on the extent of variability which the structures show within and between colonies. For each individual soldier, the following nine parameters were measured: i) length of head; ii) width of head at mandibles; iii) width of head at the posterolateral ends of antennal carinae; iv) maximum width of head; v) length of left mandible; vi) tooth of left mandible from tip; vii) length of pronotum; viii) width of pronotum; ix) length of postmentum; and x) width of postmentum.
Rarity of birds in the Jaú National Park, Brazilian Amazon
Authors:   Fundação Vitória Amazônica, Aleixo, Brazil, Borges S. H.
Published: March 2023

The rarity patterns of 368 bird species recorded in the Jaú National Park (JNP), Brazilian Amazon, were analysed using the method of seven forms of rarity based on the interaction of geographical distribution, habitat specificity, and local population size. Rare species were identified in a wide taxonomic, ecologic and body size spectrum, indicating the complexity of distinguishing rare and common species. Birds with large populations tended to occupy several habitats in a highly significant relationship. General rarity was not correlated with body size. Birds foraging in ground, understory and antbirds (Thamnophilidae and Formicariidae), were identified as especially rare in JNP. The method of seven forms of rarity is useful as a first step in identifying rare species for conservation purposes since it considers several biological features at once.

Objective: To evaluate the reduction effect of the synchronized luteal phase and the eCG application in the reproductive variables and hormone profile response of primiparous and multiparous ewes.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The experimental design was completely random, with a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. Based on their reproductive activity, the 81 specimens were divided into primiparous (n=38) and multiparous (n=43) ewes. The estrous and pregnancy stages were analyzed using the c2 test. An analysis of variance and the Tukey’s mean comparison test were used to determine the start and the duration of the estrous. P4 concentration was measured using the PROC MIXED which influenced the fixed effects of the treatment and the day, as well as their interaction.
Results: There was no difference between treatments, regarding the occurrence of the estrous; however, its start and duration were not impacted by the physiological state and the synchronized luteal phase. P4 concentrations in plasm were higher in primiparous ewes than in multiparous ewes. The main effects did not impact the pregnancy and the prolificity rates.
Study Limitations/Implications: The variation in the start and the duration of the estrous was caused by the physiological reproductive state and the duration of the synchronized luteal phase (6 and 12 days). Therefore, these effects should be taken into account when the artificial insemination takes place at a fixed period.
Finding/Conclusions: The combination of the cronolone sponges with 100 UI of eCG during short periods (6 days) effectively synchronizes the estrous. P4 concentrations in serum were higher in primiparous ewes, although these concentrations were not a determining factor in the increase of pregnancy and prolificity.

Objective: To analyze the changes in land-use and vegetation (LUV), from 1985 to 2014, in the sites in northern Mexico where 16 pine trees listed in the NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010 are collected.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Based on consultations in botanical collections, a georeferenced database of the species under study was developed. A point coverage was created to which LUV vector information from Series I (1985) and VI (2014) was added. Subsequently, LUV class changes were identified during the evaluation period through spatial analysis and geoprocessing.
Results: A total of 2,242 georeferenced records of pine species were obtained. Fifty percent of the pine records consulted in collections with Series I information belong to other non-primary forest categories of LUV, while with Series VI information with this condition rose to 58.7%. Consequently, in the study period major changes occurred in the conversion of primary forests to agricultural lands, pasture, secondary vegetation in coniferous and oak forests, and mainly urban areas.
Limitations/Implications: The availability of larger-scale cartographic material limited the generation of a risk analysis study about the changes and threats to forest conservation.
Findings/Conclusions: The number of collection sites registered in coniferous forest, scrubland, and primary oak forest in Series I —which are now agricultural lands, water bodies, pastures, and urban areas— was significantly lower than in Series VI.

Published: March 2023

The aim of this study is to characterize the gra¬duate student perspectives on a virtual dialogic teaching initiative oriented to the revision of dissertation chapters written by the students themselves. Within an exploratory qualitative study in-depth interviews are taken with 12 stu-dents from three seminar editions. The analy¬sis shows three relevant categories regarding online dialogic teaching of writing: time ma¬nagement, synchronous exchange and digital technologies. There are three senses of the tem¬poral dimension: times relative to the seminar schedule, to the student daily life, and to the in¬tellectual process of writing practices. Further-more, a combination of heavy asynchronous load with synchronous encounters is valued. Re¬garding the technologies, the students generate environments that take advantages of devices’ technological potential based on the physical environment possibilities and also value the pedagogical relevance of the applications. The category properties show some changes of gra¬duate writing, and its dialogic teaching in the digital world.

In the Astrakhan region, for long-term saline fallow reclaimed lands in the rice engineering system, flushing is required when they are involved in an active agricultural turnover. In modern conditions, keeping the land simply under "water vapor" is ineffective, therefore, before growing crops, rice checks are used as fish ponds. The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of the duration of the fish pond on the hydrophysical, agrochemical indicators of the soil, weediness and yielding capacity of crops in the rotation system during reclamation of the fallow. A one-year and two-year stay of a check under a fish pond contributed to an increase in the content of humus by 0,08-0,11%, organic matter by 0,44-0,53%, easily hydrolysable nitrogen by 6,1-9,2 mg/kg, mobile phosphorus by 9,3-16,4 mg/kg, mobile potassium by 5,4-8,2 mg/kg, moisture reserves in the soil by 1,9-2,5 times and reduced the weediness of barley crops with alfalfa overseeding by 6,5-10,9 times. Grain yield of spring barley variety AS Lacomb was 3,8-4,2 t/ha, green mass of alfalfa Nadezhda – 9,0-11,0 t/ha. A two-year-old pond as a predecessor for growing watermelon in the crop rotation created more favorable conditions for obtaining high-quality cucurbitaceous products, the average yield and marketability for varieties was higher in the mid-season group - by 3,3 t/ha and 0,7% and in the middle-late group – by 1,3 t/ha and 0,3% compared to a one- year pond as a predecessor. The content of dry matter and the amount of sugars exceeded the standards for all studied varieties of watermelon in two groups of ripeness. The largest amount of dry matter and the amount of sugars were found after a two-year pond for the watermelon variety Belye rosy and they were 12,15% and 10,08% respectively.

Colonial continuities in the Kurdish liberation
Authors: Sunca Jan Yasin
Published: March 2023

This commentary seeks to examine the extent to which Kurdish liberation projects are free from the global colonial continuities. While the discussion on colonialism and Kurdistan typically centres on the Kurds’ relationships with their immediate colonisers, it obscures at least two forms of colonial continuities in Kurdish liberation projects. A decolonial perspective built on the coloniality concept enables these colonial continuities. Firstly, the manifestation of politico-tribal domination in Başûr (South Kurdistan, Iraq) is a common feature of postcolonial states that perpetuates the originally colonial power relations within internal structures. Secondly, the Rojava (West Kurdistan, Syria) revolution, which, despite its extensive criticism of orientalism, inadvertently reproduces the frustration of Rojava’s people arising from the feeling of abandonment, by equating “we fight for humanity” with “we fight for Western values.” The reproduction of internal coloniality and Western superiority are, I argue, inextricably linked to the colonial nature of modern power.

Respiratory bacterial infections in cattle are very common all over Bangladesh causing high economic loss. This research was performed with a view to proper control of respiratory bacterial infections of cattle in Bangladesh. A total of 100 nasal samples were collected on the basis of clinical signs. From the collected samples isolation, identification and characterization of the bacterial agents was done using cultural, biochemical and molecular techniques. Antibiogram profiles of the isolated agents were studied by disc diffusion method. Pasteurella multocida, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were successfully isolated and identified from the collected samples. The isolated Pasteurella multocida produced small, round, opaque colonies on blood agar; Staphylococcus aureus produced golden yellow colony in mannitol salt agar; E. coli produced black color colonies with metallic sheen on EMB agar. Pasteurella multocida showed Gram negative, bipolar rods. Staphylococcus aureus showed Gram positive, cocci shaped and E. coli showed Gram negative, small rod shaped. Among 100 nasal samples 16 were found to be positive for Pasteurella multocida, 21 for Staphylococcus aureus and 13 for E. coli on the basis of cultural and biochemical characteristics. The antibiogram study reflected that ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol should be first choice of treatment of respiratory bacterial infections caused by the isolated 3 bacteria. Pasteurella multocida was further characterized by PCR where 16 isolates showed positive band at 460 bp and Pasteurella multocida type A at 1044 bp. The present research work covering antibiogram study is a preliminary report in the context of Bangladesh.
