Analyzing factors influencing Moldovan agricultural yields
Authors: Paslar Andrey
Published: April 2024

Moldova, an Eastern European country, heavily relies on agriculture, with crop yields serving as a crucial economic performance indicator. This article conducts a comprehensive analysis of Moldova's agricultural landscape over a 20-year period. The primary objective of this research is to identify and analyze the key determinants influencing crop yields, including pesticide usage, credit accessibility for agriculture, price indices, and climatic variables such as precipitation and temperature. Methodologically, our study first centers on data collection from diverse reputable sources, including Moldovan government reports, agricultural statistics databases, and meteorological records, to establish a comprehensive and reliable dataset. We harmonized various datasets, performed data consistency checks, and applied logarithmic transformations to address non-linearity and heteroscedasticity. Using statistical software R, we conducted multiple linear regression analyses. To ascertain the reliability of our model, we ran diagnostic tests including assessing the goodness of fit through metrics like R-squared and adjusted R-squared. Additionally, we examined critical assumptions such as the normality of residuals and homoscedasticity. Notably, effective pest management practices are found to have a positive impact on crop yields, underlining their significance in enhancing agricultural productivity. Surprisingly, fluctuations in prices and credit accessibility do not wield significant influence over crop yields. Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of optimal temperature conditions, with a strong positive correlation observed between crop yields and mean monthly temperature averages. The research emphasizes the need for further exploration of complex yield-influencing mechanisms in Moldova's agricultural sector, aiding informed decision-making and strategic planning for sustainability.
Военно-экономические циклы в контексте устойчивого развития
Authors: Podliesna Vasylyna
Published: April 2024

The article reveals the essence of the concept of military-economic cycles: they should be understood as such a form of socio-economic cyclicity, which, both in historical retrospective and in modern conditions of the formation of an information-network society, is generated by the struggle for resources that provide social units or complex social organisms - the winners in the struggle for economic and military-political leadership - the opportunity to dominate in the long term and successfully develop for some time, while maintaining stability. The cyclical nature of wars is clearly seen in the deployment of such global cycles of capitalism as the Kondratieff cycles, long cycles of world politics, and cycles of hegemony. Innovative military technologies are able to accelerate the deployment and make the militaristic component of those phases of long-term socio-economic cycles characterized by the outbreak of wars and increased instability, in particular, the upward waves of Kondratieff cycles, the “macro-resolution” phases of long cycles of world politics, the periods of thirty years of world wars in deployment cycles of hegemony. Wars are a way to resolve geopolitical contradictions, but they have a destructive effect on the natural environment, human development processes, and institutional environment, which hinders the advancement of mankind toward sustainable development, therefore, in modern conditions, it is necessary to develop and put into practice a global institutional consensus that obliges participants in geopolitical competition to interact in accordance with the law of techno-humanitarian balance, which will provide peaceful forms of resolving the contradictions of world development.
Living, not leaving the village: place attachment and rural livelihoods in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Ana Daniela , Jantsch Antje
Published: April 2024

The Republic of Moldova has been drastically affected by depopulation, especially in rural areas. Nevertheless, in regions with a winegrowing tradition and emerging rural tourism, a large part of the active labour force is motivated to stay and not migrate. In order to gain insights into how some rural areas can withstand potentially detrimental population dynamics, this paper explores the interaction of rural residents with the local environment, and their acquirement of a sense of place and rootedness in a Moldovan winegrowing region. Drawing on ethnographic methods, this paper analyses data collected through participant observation and narrative interviews during one year of fieldwork carried out predominantly in one village in southeastern Moldova. The ethnographic perspective provides a holistic understanding of the existing narratives and individual circumstances that support staying in this rural area through the lens of place attachment. In particular, we analyze the interplay between local identities, place-making, and population dynamics. Results show that the presence of a long tradition in both industrial and artisanal wine production plays an important role in the interlocutors’ attachment to this place. Nevertheless, other aspects such as owning or building a house, family cohesion, owning land, or appreciating the landscape and rural lifestyle are at least as important in their decision to stay. The presence of a recognized ‘taste of place’ expressed in wine and other local foods is an embodied, sensory experience of place that accompanies the cluster of socio-economic and ecological dimensions of place attachment.
Development of bioenergy in the conditions of climate changе in Ukraine
Authors: Udova Liudmyla
Published: April 2024

Bioenergy is a branch of the energy sector that involves the use of biomass as a fuel. Today, bioenergy confidently takes the place of the leader of the world's renewable energy, playing a significant role in replacing fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which is especially relevant in the context of global warming and climate change. The purpose of the study is to characterize the peculiarities of the development of bioenergy in the conditions of climate change in Ukraine. Research methods are monographic, statistical, graphical and tabular, methods of comparative analysis. The development of bioenergy does not involve deforestation, environmental degradation or loss of biodiversity. Among the most promising types of biomass in Ukraine, agricultural residues (straw of grain crops and rapeseed, by-products of corn production, sunflower) and energy plants (willow, poplar, miscanthus), which constitute agrobiomass, are distinguished. Agrobiomass is a large underutilized resource that can help achieve European energy and climate goals, while also contributing to the development of rural areas. Ukraine has a significant potential for agricultural residues and energy plants, the implementation of which can significantly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and increase the country's energy security. Although the share of agro biomass in the total energy potential of Ukraine's biomass is 75-80%, its practical use (except for sunflower husks) remains insufficient. At the same time, the rather limited energy potential of wood biomass is realized almost completely. It is necessary to change the structure of the use of biomass potential in Ukraine, giving preference to agricultural residues and energy plants, which corresponds to the trends laid down in the European Green Course. Therefore, bioenergy is one of the strategic directions of development of the sector of renewable energy sources in Ukraine as well.
Agricultural development under a changing climate in Ukraine: trends and challenges
Authors: Prokopenko Kateryna
Published: April 2024

The last century was characterized by noticeable climatic changes. The whole world, including Ukraine has been significantly impacted. Such changes are characterized by increased average annual temperature on the planet surface, increased level of the water in the oceans, increased number of natural disasters and cataclysms, such as desertification, landslides, hurricanes, etc. Furthermore, the climate change coincides with the period of increasing food shortages in the world. The aim of the article is to study the dependence of agricultural efficiency on the changes in agro-climatic conditions of production in the long term and the impact of these changes on the cultivation of agricultural crops and their productivity. Research methods are general scientific and special, qualitative and quantitative, theoretical and empirical, comparative analysis. Agriculture is the sector of the Ukrainian economy that is the most vulnerable to fluctuations and climate changes. Given its inertial nature and the dependence on weather conditions, it is essential to make timely and adequate decisions regarding the problems caused by climate changes. Taken the expected increase of the air temperature in the Northern Hemisphere, Ukraine's food security will largely depend on the efficient adaptation to upcoming climate changes. The consequences and risks of the climate change for the food production vary from region to region, however the negative impact of climate trends outweighs the positive one. Thus, the research of the impact of climate change on the efficiency of agro-food production is crucial for the development of policies that would help to adapt to the consequences of these changes.

Published: April 2024

This article presents the design, development, and implementation of
walking control for the bipedal exoskeleton prototype Co-Ex. The main
objective in developing this prototype is to take a successive step
towards ambulatory support via an exoskeleton with self-stabilization
capability. To attain this goal, Co-Ex is equipped with 8
torque-controllable active joints to provide ambulatory support while
ensuring improved environmental interaction. The development of Co-Ex
led to three contributions: i) self-stabilization capability in 3D
against external disturbances, ii) a locomotion control framework that
provides dynamically balanced walking behavior in 3D despite the
underactuated leg configuration, iii) a power-aware leg design in which
most actuators are deployed around the waist for reduced leg inertia. To
verify the self-stabilization and locomotion capabilities of Co-Ex, we
conducted a series of experiments using a dummy manikin. As a result,
Co-Ex showed self-stabilization behavior against disturbances and
exhibited favorable locomotion characteristics that validated the
proposed approach.

Published: April 2024

Introduction

The patient experience (PX) is central to improving the quality of healthcare services. We launched a PX capacity- and capability-building program at the Armed Forces Hospitals Taif Region, which is integral to our regional healthcare cluster transformation plans and is an initial step toward developing a culture of improvement in human experience in healthcare.

Methods

A multidisciplinary PX committee recruited five frontline interprofessional PX heads, one from each of our regional healthcare hospitals. The Kirkpatrick model for program evaluation was used to assess the impact on four key levels: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. A pre-program competency assessment was conducted to evaluate the level of expertise across various PX competencies, and a program curriculum was developed accordingly. Participants underwent an intensive workshop-based PX capacity-building training program. A post-program competency assessment was performed along with a post-program survey. The PX-related activities led by interprofessional frontline PX heads at their respective hospitals’ post-programs were tracked. The impact on the regional PX mean score across various settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and emergency settings, was measured using Press Ganey PX surveys. Our work is reported in accordance with the SQUIRE-EDU guidelines of the EQUATOR network.

Results

The PX capacity-building program led to a significant improvement in participants’ expertise across various PX competencies. Significant improvements beyond the strategic targets were observed in the PX mean score in inpatient departments pre-program (83.31) vs. post-program (86.34), with a p-value of < 0.001 across the regional healthcare system.

Conclusion

The PX capacity-building program is a first step toward major cultural change amid the healthcare cluster transformation in our regional healthcare system. The Kirkpatrick model helps evaluate the impact of PX capacity- and capability-building training programs comprehensively through an organizational approach. Sustainable improvements in PX over a long period through a capacity-building program alone remain challenging.

Published: April 2024

Aim: Hypoglycemia occurs in the neonatal period but the exact pathophysiology of the resulting brain injury at the cellular level is not well known. Therefore, a neonatal murine model was developed with insulin-induced hypoglycemia, to analyze the in-vitro effects of hypoglycemia on brain nucleotides and adenylate energy charge (AEC) throughout the first ten days of life. Methods: Newly born BALB/c pups between one and ten days of age were used. In each age group, six pups were subjected to insulin-induced hypoglycemia and six others served as controls. In both groups, immediately after euthanasia, brain tissues were collected. The in-vitro effects of hypoglycemia on brain nucleotides [adenosine monophosphate (AMP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)] were analyzed using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) as well on AEC. Results: In the controls, the cellular AEC steadily decreased with age by at least 50% over the 10-day study period (P < 0.05) except in the parietal tissue (P = 0.30) where it remained stable throughout that period. The most marked decrease was observed in the occipital tissue (P < 0.001). In the hypoglycemic mice, AEC in both the parietal and occipital tissues decreased significantly more than in the controls, more rapidly and pronounced between day 2 and 5 in the occipital tissue, reaching very low levels from day 5 onward. Except in the occipital tissue, none of the adenine nucleotides on its own, including ATP, reflected the cellular AEC. Conclusions: Over the first ten days of life, hypoglycemia progressively depleted cellular AEC in the brain, unlike cellular ATP concentration which did not appropriately reflect cellular energy.
ІСУС ХРИСТОС ЯК МОРАЛЬНИЙ ІДЕАЛ ТА ОБРАЗНЕ ВТІЛЕННЯ ЧЕСНОТ
Authors: Дідківський Анатолій
Published: April 2024

Стаття присвячена висвітленню специфіки православної етики, яка ґрунтується на євангельській моралі як власному найвищому джерелі. Підкреслено, що в Євангелії основою для етичного вчення є вчення про чесноти Бога і людини, особливо – чесноту любові. Автор звертає увагу на те, що моральним ідеалом християнства виступає Ісус Христос як образне втілення чеснот, а любов є головною рисою його характеру і головною чеснотою. Наголошено, що Євангеліє ставить моральний ідеал вище за природний і писаний закон, підкорює мораль лише божественному закону. Відповідно, у житті індивіда та соціуму така мораль вимагає поведінки святості, яка б демонструвала надлишок внутрішнього надприродного життя і благодаті.

Purpose: Due to increasing cost pressures, and the necessity to ensure high quality patient care while maintaining a safe environment for patients and staff, interest in the capacity for HRM practices to make a difference  has piqued the attention of healthcare professionals. The purpose of this papers is to present and test a model whereby engagement mediates the relationship between four HRM practices and quality of care and safety in two different occupational groups in healthcare, namely, nurses and administrative support workers.Design/methodology/approach: Structural equation modeling was used to analyze questionnaire data collected by the National Health Service as part of their Staff Survey .The authors tested the hypotheses for nurses and administrative support workers separately.Findings: Training, participation in decision making, opportunities for development, and communication were positively related to quality of care and safety via work engagement. The strength of the relationships was conditional on whether an employee was a nurse or administrative support worker.Originality/value: This is the first paper to examine the mediating role of engagement on the relationship between four relevant HRM practices in the healthcare context, and outcomes important to healthcare practitioners. The authors also add value to the HRM literature by being among the first to use the job demands resources model to explain the impact of HRM practices on performance outcomes. Moreover, the authors provide insight into how HRM practices affect outcomes in the world’s largest publicly funded healthcare service

Este estudio investiga la aplicación de técnicas de Machine Learning (ML), específicamente el algoritmo de clustering K-Means y la reducción de dimensionalidad mediante PCA, para identificar patrones en datos de siniestros de tránsito. Analizando un conjunto de datos que incluye 21,352 registros de siniestros, este trabajo clasifica los accidentes en cuatro clusters distintos, revelando diferencias significativas en las características de los siniestros relacionadas con la ubicación, hora del día, causas y condiciones ambientales. Los resultados destacan la complejidad de los factores que contribuyen a los siniestros de tránsito y subrayan la necesidad de intervenciones personalizadas para mejorar la seguridad vial. Este enfoque permite una comprensión más profunda de los patrones de siniestros, facilitando el desarrollo de políticas y estrategias de prevención más efectivas. Este estudio no solo amplía la literatura existente, ofreciendo una metodología analítica robusta para el análisis de datos de siniestros, sino que también proporciona orientación práctica para la implementación de intervenciones de seguridad vial dirigidas y basadas en evidencia. Recomendamos futuras investigaciones para incluir más variables, comparar diferentes modelos de ML y realizar estudios longitudinales que permitan evaluar la evolución de los patrones de siniestros y la efectividad de las políticas de seguridad vial implementadas.

Enquadramento: os enfermeiros possuem um papel singular na proteção, promoção e apoio da amamentação das mães, equacionando intervenções para as ensinar, orientar e ajudar no processo de amamentação. Objetivo: analisar na produção científica o papel do enfermeiro na promoção do aleitamento materno. Metodologia: revisão integrativa da literatura, nas bases de dados Psychology & Behavioral Sciences Collection, MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL Complete, MedicLatina, Academic Search Complete e Education Resources Information Center. Foram selecionados 115 artigos e incluídos sete.  Resultados: observou-se que os enfermeiros promovem ações educativas sobre aleitamento materno desde o período pré-natal, com mais insistência depois do parto. As mulheres apreciam o apoio empático e uma abordagem empoderadora sobre a capacidade de amamentar. São apontados como aspetos negativos o discurso moral, desconsiderarem as necessidades psicológicas e emocionais. Conclusão: os estudos analisados evidenciam a importância do papel dos enfermeiros na promoção do aleitamento materno, pela posição privilegiada de atuarem na assistência direta às mulheres e crianças, tanto a nível hospitalar, quanto comunitário. Torna-se relevante a necessidade de uma comunicação empática, assente no modelo centrado na pessoa e nas suas necessidades, respeitando a autonomia e decisão sobre a amamentação.
