A controladoria e a análise discriminante do consumidor do e-commerce
Authors: Schmidt Paulo , Dos Santos Jose Luiz
Published: October 2021

Esse artigo busca discutir o papel da Controladoria diante do novo cenário empresarial, onde o neoconsum i-dor (consumidor do e-commerce) tem maior poder de negociação e discriminação em função de seu nível mais qualifi-cado de informações. A Controladoria, dentro desse contexto, passa a ser um papel fundamental, especia lmente na geração de informações exógenas na busca da satisfação dos consumidores tradicionais e dos neocons umidores Assim, esse artigo objetiva aventar como a Controladoria pode contribuir para a otimização do processo decisório, onde a gestão do conhecimento passa a ter um papel fundamental na geração de informações, buscando a satisfação das nece s-sidades do consumidor tradicional e do neoconsumidor. Metodologicamente, esse artigo caract eriza-se como um estudo exploratório, com delineamento de uma pesquisa de campo. Para tanto, a identificação da cadeia de valor onde as empresas estão inseridas e das variáveis discriminatórias, especialmente focadas no poder discernente dos neoconsumi-dores, permite que a Controladoria identifique, com maior clareza, quais itens são valorizados na escolha dos produtos e serviços e quais são as informações necessárias para direcionar as ações das empresas para os neoconsumidores. O uso dessas ferramentas discricionárias já está consolidado no Brasil, tanto que em uma análise de trabalhos apresent a-dos em eventos no Brasil, percebeu-se que seu uso é corrente, embora a maior parte dos trabalh os esteja focada na discriminação das características que categorizam as entidades. Portanto, separar as espécies de consumidores e ident i-ficar as suas diferentes naturezas e necessidades é essencial para o atual processo negocial do neocomé rcio.

Altering Facial Movements Abolishes Neural Mirroring of Facial Expressions
Authors: Birch-Hurst Kayley , Rychlowska Magdalena , Lewis Michael B. , Vanderwert Ross E.
Published: October 2021

People tend to automatically imitate others’ facial expressions of emotion. That reaction, termed “facial mimicry” has been linked to sensorimotor simulation—a process in which the observer’s brain recreates and mirrors the emotional experience of the other person, potentially enabling empathy and deep, motivated processing of social signals. However, the neural mechanisms that underlie sensorimotor simulation remain unclear. This study tests how interfering with facial mimicry by asking participants to hold a pen in their mouth influences the activity of the human mirror neuron system, indexed by the desynchronization of the EEG mu rhythm. This response arises from sensorimotor brain areas during observed and executed movements and has been linked with empathy. We recorded EEG during passive viewing of dynamic facial expressions of anger, fear, and happiness, as well as nonbiological moving objects. We examine mu desynchronization under conditions of free versus altered facial mimicry and show that desynchronization is present when adult participants can freely move but not when their facial movements are inhibited. Our findings highlight the importance of motor activity and facial expression in emotion communication. They also have important implications for behaviors that involve occupying or hiding the lower part of the face.

Authors: Prosvetov Alexey , Verkhovtsev Alexey V , Sushko Gennady , Solov’yov Andrey V
Published: October 2021

This paper presents a detailed computational protocol for the atomistic simulation of formation and growth of metal-containing nanostructures during focused electron beam-induced deposition (FEBID). The protocol is based upon irradiation-driven molecular dynamics (IDMD), a novel and general methodology for computer simulations of irradiation-driven transformations of complex molecular systems by means of the advanced software packages MBN Explorer and MBN Studio. Atomistic simulations performed following the formulated protocol provide valuable insights into the fundamental mechanisms of electron-induced precursor fragmentation and the related mechanism of nanostructure formation and growth using FEBID, which are essential for the further advancement of FEBID-based nanofabrication. The developed computational methodology is general and applicable to different precursor molecules, substrate types, and irradiation regimes. The methodology can also be adjusted to simulate the nanostructure formation by other nanofabrication techniques using electron beams, such as direct electron beam lithography. In the present study, the methodology is applied to the IDMD simulation of the FEBID of Pt(PF3)4, a widely studied precursor molecule, on a SiO2 surface. The simulations reveal the processes driving the initial phase of nanostructure formation during FEBID, including the nucleation of Pt atoms and the formation of small metal clusters on the surface, followed by their aggregation and the formation of dendritic platinum nanostructures. The analysis of the simulation results provides spatially resolved relative metal content, height, and growth rate of the deposits, which represents valuable reference data for the experimental characterization of the nanostructures grown by FEBID.
Role positions of the reader in a cognitive scene “Meeting with a literary character”
Authors: Kargapolova Ekaterina V. , Simonenko Marina A.
Published: October 2021

The present study results from integration of linguistic and sociological knowledge. Rich database obtained through the sociological survey acts as valuable data for further linguistic investigation. As the study object we took the utterances of respondents who participated in the second part of the sociological survey with university students as target group; the survey was carried out in three Russian regions — Moscow, Volgograd and Astrakhan. One of the questions in the questionnaire was “What literary character would you like to meet in person and why?” The respondents gave 869 detailed answers. Out of the total number the authors selected 224 responses regarding the figure of the desired partner in the imaginary meeting. The priority was given to the literary characters with the highest rates of popularity among the respondents. Cognitive scene “Meeting with a literary character” was modelled on the basis of propositions with focus on their permanent elements which are agent and patient of the situation and the predicate. Predicates performed the role of the semantic center in each utterance. Taking into account predicative relations within propositions, the authors identified main role positions the readers (interpreters) take in a cognitive scene. Those respondents who opt for passive observation fall into three groups — critics, viewers and listeners. The respondents who prefer interaction and even manipulation are seen as dialogue partners and co-workers in the event.

Fur as a feature of Russian traditional wedding ceremony
Authors: Lyapin Denis A.
Published: October 2021

Fur is a significant feature of many ritual actions in traditional Russian culture. Although there is a lot of material on this subject it continues to escape a closer scientific attention. This paper looks at filling this gap and showing the role of fur in Russian wedding rituals. The author gives examples related to the use of fur at a wedding and analyzes wedding songs and additional material. Results obtained led to conclusions that the fur in the wedding ritual was of dual importance. It was used as a magical item endowed with the function of fertility and procreation. It was associated with fertilizing (carpogonia) magic. This magic was intended to provide fertility, wealth and prosperity for a family. The perceptions of the connection between fur and fertility was also manifested in other ritual activities, for example, in spells related to family and household. It is important to note that the inverted fur was considered a sign of another world, and with its help they depicted its inhabitants, late ancestors. In this case, the fur should be considered in the context of imitative magic associated with imitation of desired events. Wanting to receive the help of deceased ancestors, participants of the wedding ceremony wore an inverted fur coat to simulate the spirit and to simulate the participation of the spirit in the wedding ceremony. This dual meaning of fur determined its wide distribution in traditional Russian wedding rituals.
Color designations and similar concepts in reports of the Russian representative in Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth V. M. Tyapkin
Authors: Bogatyrev Arseniy V.
Published: October 2021

From the point of view of history of color names in Russian language the records of the first representative of Russia in the Polish-Lithuanian state (V. M. Tyapkin) not published in full are of significant value. The most abundant in respect to the color were the records relating to the events of 1676, which is explained by the mass activities that occurred at this time — such as a magnificent funeral of the Polish kings and the coronation of the new monarch. Analysis of the source showed that belyy, zolotoy, krasny, and chernyy are represented with greater frequency. Most often, color designations were used to convey the appearance of fabrics, banners made of them, clothing; less often — interiors and decorations, the color of animals and the appearance of persons. The study determines that the terms krasny and zolotoy were specified by similar concepts, which are different variations on the theme of these colors: zlatoy, zolotnyy; as well as rumyanets, skarlatnyy, chervonnyy and chervchatyy. However, as it turned out, the language “palette” of the document is somewhat poorer than the expressive means of the Russian language of the 17th century. Nevertheless, the residency materials help to clarify the existence of certain lexemes and reveal their etymology. The author introduces new information about the use in speech of educated representatives of the Moscow Russia vocabulary units barvyanyy, farba, and specifies the history of using the term tsvetnoy. A unique case has been identified: the writing of zlatopisanyy — zolotopisannyy is inherent in the monument under study, and we do not know any other examples of its use during this period. Another variant of the well-known word, zolototsvetnyy, found in the source under study, was discovered in the works of M. V. Lomonosov.

MANDATORY JOINT AUDIT AND AUDIT QUALITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EUROPEAN BLUE CHIPS
Authors: Garcia-Blandon Josep , Castillo-Merino David , Argilés-Bosch Josep M. , Ravenda Diego
Published: October 2021

This study investigates audit quality under joint and single audit regimes with a sample of large European firms. Both, the economic relevance of these companies, and the fact that the impact of joint audit on audit quality should be stronger when the audited company is a blue-chip firm motivate the study. If mandatory joint audit were positively associated with audit quality, French firms, under mandatory joint audit since 1966, should present higher audit quality compared to their European peers. The results do not indicate this to be the case. Specifically, similar levels of discretionary accruals are observed for French and other European firms. Furthermore, for the first time in the literature, evidence is reported indicating that French firms may even present lower audit quality than their European peers, when audit quality is measured by the likelihood of just beating earnings benchmarks. These results are expected to inform the ongoing debate in several countries about joint audits.
Peeking inside the Black Box: Interpreting Deep-learning Models for Exoplanet Atmospheric Retrievals
Authors: Yip Kai Hou , Changeat Quentin , Nikolaou Nikolaos , Morvan Mario , Edwards Billy , Waldmann Ingo P. , Tinetti Giovanna
Published: October 2021

Deep-learning algorithms are growing in popularity in the field of exoplanetary science due to their ability to model highly nonlinear relations and solve interesting problems in a data-driven manner. Several works have attempted to perform fast retrievals of atmospheric parameters with the use of machine-learning algorithms like deep neural networks (DNNs). Yet, despite their high predictive power, DNNs are also infamous for being “black boxes.” It is their apparent lack of explainability that makes the astrophysics community reluctant to adopt them. What are their predictions based on? How confident should we be in them? When are they wrong, and how wrong can they be? In this work, we present a number of general evaluation methodologies that can be applied to any trained model and answer questions like these. In particular, we train three different popular DNN architectures to retrieve atmospheric parameters from exoplanet spectra and show that all three achieve good predictive performance. We then present an extensive analysis of the predictions of DNNs, which can inform us–among other things–of the credibility limits for atmospheric parameters for a given instrument and model. Finally, we perform a perturbation-based sensitivity analysis to identify to which features of the spectrum the outcome of the retrieval is most sensitive. We conclude that, for different molecules, the wavelength ranges to which the DNNs predictions are most sensitive do indeed coincide with their characteristic absorption regions. The methodologies presented in this work help to improve the evaluation of DNNs and to grant interpretability to their predictions.
Long-term Evolution of the Short-term X-Ray Variability of the Jetted TDE Swift J1644+57
Authors: Jin 金 Chichuan 驰川
Published: October 2021

The short-term X-ray variability of tidal disruption events (TDEs) and its similarities with that of active galactic nuclei are poorly understood. In this work, we show the diversity of TDEs’ short-term X-ray variability, and take Swift J1644+57 as an example to study the evolution of various properties related to the short-term X-ray variability, such as the X-ray flux distribution, power spectral density (PSD), rms variability, time lag, and coherence spectra. We find that the flux distribution of Swift J1644+57 has a lognormal form in the normal state, but deviates from it significantly in the dipping state, thereby implying different physical mechanisms in the two states. We also find that during the first two XMM-Newton observations in the dipping state, Swift J1644+57 exhibited different variability patterns, which are characterized by steeper PSDs and larger rms than the normal state. A significant soft X-ray lag is detected in these two observations, which is ∼50 s between 0.3–1 keV and 2–10 keV with a high coherence. Using the 2–10 keV rms of 0.10–0.50, the black hole mass of Swift J1644+57 is estimated to be

, but the variation of rms as the TDE evolves introduces a large uncertainty. Finally, we discuss the value of conducting similar studies on other TDEs, especially in the coming era of time-domain astronomy when a lot more TDEs will be discovered in X-rays promptly. This also heralds a significant increase in the demand for deep follow-up observations of X-ray selected TDEs with X-ray telescopes of large effective areas and long orbital periods.
Unraveling the Eclipse Mechanism of a Binary Millisecond Pulsar Using Broadband Radio Spectra
Authors: Kansabanik Devojyoti , Bhattacharyya Bhaswati , Roy Jayanta , Stappers Benjamin
Published: October 2021

The frequency dependent eclipses of the radio emission from millisecond pulsars in compact binary systems provide an opportunity to understand the eclipse mechanism and to determine the nature of the eclipsing medium. We combine multifrequency observations from the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope and model the broadband radio spectrum in the optically thick to thin transition regime to constrain the eclipse mechanism. The best-fit model to the eclipse phase spectra favors synchrotron absorption by relativistic electrons. We are able to strongly constrain the frequency of onset of the eclipse to 345 ± 5 MHz, which is an order of magnitude more precise than previous estimates. The dependence on the magnetic field strength of synchrotron absorption allowed us to estimate the magnetic field strength of the eclipse medium to be ∼13 G, which is very similar to the values obtained by considering a pressure balance between the incident pulsar wind and the stellar wind of the companion. Applying this method to other millisecond binary pulsars will enable us to determine if the eclipse mechanisms are all the same and also estimate the wind and magnetic field properties of the companion stars. The method could also be applied to other systems where pulsars interact with companion winds in binary systems and in all cases it will lead to a better understanding of the evolutionary processes.

A defined specialty scope of practice statement and standards of professional practice, with accompanying competencies, are unique to each nursing specialty. These documents help assure continued understanding and recognition of nursing’s diverse professional contributions. The purpose of this article is to demystify the process for specialty nurses who are creating or revising their specialty nursing scope and standards of practice. We provide best practices for the developmental process based on our recently published scope and standards of specialty nursing practice. The conclusion provides strategies to disseminate scope and standards documents to appropriate stakeholders.
Historical Perspectives on an Expanded Role for Nursing
Authors: Keeling Arlene
Published: October 2021

The 2010 Institute of Medicine report, the Future of Nursing, recommended that nurses work to the “full extent of their training” to address the primary healthcare needs of United States citizens. This article identifies and describes historical antecedents, cornerstone documents, and legislative acts that served to set the stage for today, laying the groundwork for an expanded role for advanced practice nurses in the 21st century. Beginning with Lillian Wald’s work in Henry Street Settlement in 1893, through Mary Breckenridge’s founding of the Frontier Nursing Service in 1925, the discussion describes how nurses provided access to care for thousands of urban and rural citizens throughout the United States in the past. The article also discusses political forces at midcentury and the creation of the nurse practitioner role with the premise that nurses can learn from these early initiatives to create new models for nurses’ roles in primary care today.

Authors: Lavin Mary , Harper Ellen , Barr Nancy
Published: October 2021

The electronic health record (EHR) is a documentation tool that yields data useful in enhancing patient safety, evaluating care quality, maximizing efficiency, and measuring staffing needs. Although nurses applaud the EHR, they also indicate dissatisfaction with its design and cumbersome electronic processes. This article describes the views of nurses shared by members of the Nursing Practice Committee of the Missouri Nurses Association; it encourages nurses to share their EHR concerns with Information Technology (IT) staff and vendors and to take their place at the table when nursing-related IT decisions are made. In this article, we describe the experiential-reflective reasoning and action model used to understand staff nurses’ perspectives, share committee reflections and recommendations for improving both documentation and documentation technology, and conclude by encouraging nurses to develop their documentation and informatics skills. Nursing issues include medication safety, documentation and standards of practice, and EHR efficiency. IT concerns include interoperability, vendors, innovation, nursing voice, education, and collaboration.

Authors: Hirschman Karen , Shaid Elizabeth , McCauley Kathleen , Pauly Mark , Naylor Mary
Published: October 2021

Older adults with multiple chronic conditions complicated by other risk factors, such as deficits in activities of daily living or social barriers, experience multiple challenges in managing their healthcare needs, especially during episodes of acute illness. Identifying effective strategies to improve care transitions and outcomes for this population is essential. One rigorously tested model that has consistently demonstrated effectiveness in addressing the needs of this complex population while reducing healthcare costs is the Transitional Care Model (TCM). The TCM is a nurse-led intervention targeting older adults at risk for poor outcomes as they move across healthcare settings and between clinicians. This article provides a detailed summary of the evidence base for the TCM and the model’s nine core components. We also discuss measuring the TCM’s core components and the overall impact of this evidence-based care management approach.

Published: October 2021

Sixty nurses from five countries (Canada, India, Ireland, Japan, and Korea) took part in 11 focus groups that discussed the question: Do you consider your work meaningful? Fostering meaning and mentorship as part of the institutional culture was a central theme that emerged from the discussions. In this article, we begin with a background discussion of meaning and meaningful work as presented in the literature related to existentialism and hardiness. Next, we describe the method and analysis processes we used in our qualitative study asking how nurses find meaning in their very challenging work and report our findings of four themes that emerged from the comments shared by nurses, specifically relationships, compassionate caring, identity, and a mentoring culture. After offering a discussion of our findings and noting the limitations of this qualitative study, we conclude that nursing leaders and a culture of mentorship play an important role in fostering meaningful work and developing hardy employees.

Gouverner dans l’urgence
Authors: Pellistrandi Benoît
Published: October 2021

L’urgence, en matière politique, est définie comme l’irruption du présent qui modifie l’ordre des priorités et bouleverse l’agenda gouvernemental. L’action du gouvernement républicain en Espagne entre 1931 et 1939 permet d’aborder cette thématique à partir d’un exemple précis, situé chronologiquement et socialement. L’ampleur des changements à effectuer – sur les plans institutionnel, social, économique, culturel, religieux – suffit à déterminer d’emblée un niveau de mobilisation et de volonté qui surgit du sentiment d’urgence. Sentiment né du combat politique qui s’enracine dans l’analyse d’une situation historique qu’analyse Manuel Azaña, leader républicain, chef du gouvernement puis Président de la République à partir de mai 1936 et observateur progressivement détruit par ce que la Guerre Civile révèle du caractère inexorable et décourageant de la politique espagnole.

Cette étude entend analyser le dernier recueil poétique de Dionisio Cañas et questionner d’entrée le genre même dont il relève. Puis il s’agit de réfléchir au lien existant entre la forme externe du livre et l’écriture poétique qui sont en tension avec la situation de production (l’urgence). Enfin il convient d’examiner la question de la représentation de l’urgence par la parole poétique. Cela conduit à interroger le rôle social du poète, et de l’artiste plus largement, face à l’urgence.
Peirce en Amazonie : controverse à propos de la sémiotique d’Eduardo Kohn et de la communication avec les non-humains
Authors: Bocquet Martine
Published: October 2021

Cet article traite de la controverse suscitée par l’ouvrage d’Eduardo Kohn Comment pensent les forêts : vers une anthropologie au-delà de l’humain, à propos de l’usage qu’il fait de la sémiotique de Peirce pour aborder la communication et les relations que le peuple Runa d’Ávila entretient avec les non-humains, dans les contreforts amazoniens des Andes. Eduardo Kohn théorise ces rapports, de nature animiste, avec la faune, leurs chiens, mais aussi les esprits maîtres de la forêt amazonienne. Kohn n’a-t-il pas distordu certains concepts de Peirce pour les appliquer à son projet à la fois sémiotique et anthropologique. Était-ce nécessaire ? Cela ne révèle-t-il pas certains biais dans sa pensée, qui l’auraient poussé à déformer des aspects essentiels des concepts de Peirce ?

The impact of titanium oxide nanoparticles and low direct electric current on biofilm dispersal of $Bacillus~cereus$ and $Pseudomonas~aeruginosa$: A comparative study
Authors: M. Shawki Mamdouh , M. Eltarahony Marwa , E. Moustafa Maisa
Published: October 2021

Bacteria growing in biofilms cause a wide range of environmental, industrial and public health risks. Because biofilm bacteria are very resistant to antibiotics, there is an urgent need in medicine and industry to develop new approaches to eliminating bacterial biofilms. One strategy for controlling these biofilms is to generate an antibiofilm substance locally at the attachment surface. Direct electric current (DC) and nanoparticles (NPs) of metal oxides have outstanding antimicrobial properties. In this study we evaluated the effect of titanium oxide nanoparticle (TiO$_2$-NP) concentrations from 5 to 160 $\mu$g/mL on Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms, and compared this with the effect of a 9 V, 6 mA DC electric field for 5, 10 and 15 min. TiO$_2$-NPs were characterized using transmission and scanning electron microscopes, X-ray diffraction and FTIR. They exhibited an average size of 22-34 nm. The TiO$_2$-NP concentrations that attained LD50 were $104 \pm 4$ $\mu$g/mL and $63 \pm 3$ $\mu$g/mL for B. cereus and P. aeruginosa, respectively. The eradication percentages obtained by DC at 5, 10, and 15 min exposure were 21%, 29%, and 33% respectively for B. cereus and 30%, 39%, and 44% respectively for P. aeruginosa. Biofilm disintegration was verified by exopolysaccharide, protein content and cell surface hydrophobicity assessment, as well as scanning electron microscopy. These data were correlated with the reactive oxygen species produced. The results indicated that both DC and TiO$_2$-NPs have a lethal effect on these bacterial biofilms, and that the DC conditions used affect the biofilms in a similar way to TiO$_2$-NPs at concentrations of 20-40 $\mu$g/mL.
Individual capacities influencing uses of routine health data for decision making among health workersat Muhimbili National Hospital; Dar es Salaam – Tanzania: a quantitative study
Authors: Mpimbi Salim , Mughwira Mwangu
Published: October 2021

Background: The availability of health workers with the capacity to read and understand statistical data and then use them for work-related decision-making, therefore, supporting their institutions or the existing health system at large in developing countries is important. However, in some countries, Tanzania inclusive, this has remained critical. This requires the capacity-building of potential users. The study aimed to assess individual capacities influencing use of routine health data for decision-making among Emergency Medicine health workers at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH).

Methods: The study design used was a descriptive cross-sectional using a quantitative approach. Stratified random sampling was used to sample Nurses, Medical officers, Residents, and Emergency medicine specialists. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The study involved 76 health workers working in the Emergency Medicine Department (EMD) at MNH.

Results: Results showed 61.6% use of routine health data for decision making. Working experience, job title, and education level had a statistically significant association with information used for decision-making. There was a statistically significant difference in routine data use between those who had poor and good knowledge to collect, analyze, interpret, and use data. Also, results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in routine data use between those who had poor and good skills to collect, analyze, interpret, and use data. Specialists had a good level of knowledge and skills on data use compared to other health workers.

Conclusion: The study demonstrates partial use of routine health data for decision-making with an interplay of individual capacities. A framework for statistical capacity building in Tanzania needs to be built, by training a cadre of health workers with core competencies and skills in measuring progress in the health system that could generate sustainable demand for data use within the health systems of the country.

Authors: Nwako Azubuike Benjamin , Nwolisa Charles Emeka , Nwako Okechukwu Francis , Nwako Magaret-Lorritta Chidimma
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare condition in childhood with very few cases reported in sub-Saharan Africa. Typically, the patient presents with facial asymmetry, seizures, and hemiparesis. Radiological findings include cerebral hemiatrophy, ipsilateral lateral ventricular dilatation, and hypertrophy of the calvarium and sinuses.

Case presentation: We present the report of a 3-year-old male with weakness of right upper and lower limbs, facial asymmetry, and seizures. Physical examination showed a well-nourished child with a squint of the right eye. There were brisk tendon reflexes with right-sided hemiplegia which is spastic with left limb preference. Computer tomography of the brain showed atrophy of the left cerebral hemisphere, ipsilateral lateral ventricular dilatation, and thickening of the ipsilateral cranium. The diagnosis of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome was made. He was treated with sodium valproate and lamotrigine and presently physiotherapy and he had remained seizure-free.

Conclusion: Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome still affects children despite being a rare condition. There is a need for appropriate clinical and radiological assessment for the diagnosis of DDMS. Early identification and appropriate treatment will improve the general outcome of children with DDMS.

This study aimed to determine the resistance of coccidia to ionophores used in broiler farms in Tizi-Ouzou province, Algeria. Droppings were collected and recovered Eimeria oocyst isolates were analysed by morphometry to determine their composition, and then inoculated by peros into chicks of the Arbor Acres strain, reared on the ground. Four of six groups of chicks were treated to test the sensitivity of oocysts to four anticoccidial agents added to their growth feeds [(robenidine (33 ppm), monensin (120 ppm), narasin-nicarbazin (80 ppm) and salinomycin (60 ppm)], while the other two groups were controls. The results revealed the presence of total resistance to monensin and robenidine, and partial resistance to salinomycin and the narasin-nicarbazin combination. The lack of sensitivity to monensin and robenidine was unsurprising, given their inappropriate and unreasonable use for years as the only anticoccidial compounds. The appearance of partial resistance to narasin-nicarbazin and salinomycin suggests the development of cross-resistance in the Eimeria population. The possibility of a relatively uniform composition of Eimeria species collected in these farms indicates that Eimeria acervulina and Eimeria maxima develop resistance more quickly to these ionophores. Finally, a control strategy must be rigorously developed by considering other molecules that are alternatives to anticoccidials.
The Milk Producers’ Organization and Indian dairy sector
Authors: Sarkar Avijit , Dutta Avijan
Published: October 2021

The needs of the Milk Producers’ Organization are achieved by strengthening the scattered and poorly organized Indian milk producers, who lack access to resources and services. In fact, the Milk Producers’ Organization has emerged as an interface between the business environment and individual milk producers through forward and backward linkages, while facilitating the strength of collective action, bargaining power and economies of scale. It has thus responded appropriately to the economic and socio-cultural needs of producer members and surrounding entities. The National Accounts Statistics (2020) of India estimates that the contribution of livestock in total agriculture and allied sectors Gross Value Added (at Constant Prices) has reached to 28.63 per cent (2018-19) which again shows the importance of the Milk Producers’ Organization in a populous country such as India. The Organization extends its assistance in the form of financial support, technical inputs, milk productivity, quality produce, managing value chains, access to market actors and handling environmental and business regulation. This review paper outlines the key viewpoints and aims to explore how the Milk Producers’ Organization has built capabilities and optimized capacities in the existing scope and challenges of the Indian dairy sector. The livestock sector supports the livelihood of approximately 20.5 million people in India. India’s milk production is at 4.8% CAGR as opposed to 1.8% CAGR of global milk production. However, the Organization faces conflicting areas of interest, such as social concern and business demands and this ambivalence necessitates enabling policy and professionalism to steer organizational growth and sustainability. In view of the globalized business environment, the Milk Producers’ Organization has taken on the responsibility to compete both on the domestic and global markets. In view of emerging international trade practices, further study is required to establish mechanisms to deal with Sanitary and Phytosanitary measures. A co-operative business model can be further explored with additional utilization of bovine manure and unproductive bovines to re-establish a more cost efficient model to deal with global price levels of milk and dairy products.

Contactless payment is arguably the fastest growing payment methods across the globe. The purpose of this article is to do a study of the consumer acceptance of contactless payments in India using a survey sample of 165 respondents from Chennai. While technology acceptance model (TAM) has been normally used, the proposed model make use of seven variables (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived risk, engagement, compatibility, trust and hedonic motivation) taking into consideration the customer, service provider and the technology eco system. Findings of the study indicates that perceived ease of use, compatibility and perceived usefulness were the main factors influencing contactless payment acceptance. This study extends the knowledge of consumer’s payment-decision making and provides insights into how to promote contactless payments.

There are reports of Diaphorina citri resistance in the state of Veracruz to chlorpyrifos and dimethoate due to the excessive use of these products for the control of pests, among them D. citri. The purpose of this work was to diagnose the susceptibility of D. citri adults to chlorpyrifos and dimethoate in commercial citrus orchards of the municipality of Martinez de la Torre, Veracruz. For this, 200 adults of D. citri were collected in each of 30 orchards, and topical application bioassays were performed with dimethoate at 0.0090% concentration and chlorpyrifos at 0.0085% concentration. Diaphorina citri adults without chemical control during 10 years were used as a control. Mortality of D. citri with dimethoate and chlorpyrifos averaged 85%, in contrast the control mortality was 99% and 98.8% with dimethoate and chlorpyrifos, respectively. According to these results, it can be inferred that D. citri has some resistance to organophosphate insecticides in the orchards of Martinez de la Torre, Veracruz. This information can be used to decide the type of insecticides to apply in the study area.
