CAR WASH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANNING USING BIOFILTER
Authors: Irsan Robby , Soeryamssoeka SB
Published: July 2023

Users of motorized vehicles in the city of Pontianak are growing rapidly. For some people who are very busy washing motorbikes is a tiring thing and usually, some people take their vehicles to the car wash. During this time, motorcycle washing providers directly dispose of their waste into the environment, which causes pollution and environmental damage. The technology used is a waste treatment system based on natural materials (biofilter). The method used in this activity is an experimental method that is needed to determine the feasibility of a simple biofilter based on physical parameters, color, turbidity, and smell. The filter media used are palm fiber, gravel, activated charcoal, bio ball, filter cotton, coarse fiber, silica sand, and gauze. The plan for making WWTP is planned to use four tubs that have dimensions of 46 cm x 31 cm x 28 cm. One processing tank uses a bio ball which utilizes a sticky medium to reduce organic matter. This tub is modified into three chambers, while the second processing tub uses palm fiber, coarse fiber, silica sand, gauze, and gravel to filter out fine particles. The third treatment tank uses zeolite, activated charcoal, filter cotton, and stone to filter out fine particles, and the fourth tub serves to collect the treatment water before being discharged into the drainage. The results of the WWTP planning at Basecamp DGCI Chapter Pontianak have 3 tubs are used as treatment tanks and 1 tub as a water reservoir before being discharged into the drainage.

Published: July 2023

Rebar is one of the main materials in a building. The material has been widely innovated by product providers. In addition to using conventional reinforcement on the floor slab, it is now possible to replace the reinforcement with wire mesh reinforcement. Because material costs are a very large cost in construction projects, it is necessary to do proper material planning. This final project will compare the two reinforcements with the aim that project implementers can plan materials appropriately so that it is expected to minimize the huge cost expenditure. In this final project, the reinforcement in the floor slab work will be reviewed in terms of direct waste reinforcement which will be assisted by software cutting optimization pro and reinforcement costs using the AHSP stipulated by Permen PUPR No.1 of 2022. After various stages are carried out, a comparison of the direct waste level, direct waste cost, and cost of the two reinforcements will be obtained. A Comparison of the three reviews found that wire mesh reinforcement is more efficient than using conventional reinforcement.

Published: July 2023

The article dwells upon the study of the current physico-chemical status of the alluvial dark-humus soils of the floodplain hayfields of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain and the Volga delta. Alluvial soils are formed in special semiaquatic conditions; they are the result of alluvial and soil-forming processes. Considered to be dynamic both in natural and anthropogenic conditions. They have subordinate status and remain to be barriers and accumulators of various chemical elements while performing a sanitary and hygienic role in floodplain and delta ecosystems. Due to the increased anthropogenic load on alluvial soils, the study of their physico-chemical status, which affects the migration of chemical elements, becomes particularly significant. The alluvial soils of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain and the Volga delta are characterized by a polynomial profile in which soil horizons of varying development degrees alternate with river sediments. The soils of the studied landscapes are characterized by good agrophysical and relatively satisfactory agrochemical condition. It was found that bunds on the territory of the delta as well as in the floodplain have negative impact on the physico-chemical status of alluvial soils and actively develop secondary salinization. The focus is on the agrochemical properties of alluvial dark-humus soils, particularly on the content of humus and nutrients. According to the granulometric composition, the studied soils are medium and heavy loamy, they have a good supply of productive moisture. In the soils of the Southeastern part of the floodplain, the processes of salinization, dehumification and alkalization are most present.

Este artículo es el resultado de parte de una densa y más amplia investigación de campo elaborada para la tesis de doctorado defendida en junio de 2019; la investigación inició en el año 2016 y terminó en 2018, con los procesos generados por la lucha contra el tráfico de personas por parte de la Justicia Federal de Brasil, abarcando el historial y la producción de decisiones de los actores involucrados en la lucha contra la trata de personas en el periodo que va desde 2004 hasta 2015, sin perder de vista el marco teórico, que es la teoría sistémica aplicada. El problema que este artículo busca responder es: ¿cómo se implementan las rutas internacionales en los procesos de trata internacional de personas desde Brasil?
Efecto del microencapsulamiento del aceite de nuez pecanera Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh) C. Koch en alginato de calcio sobre algunos parámetros de calidad
Authors: Reyes-Cano L. , Reyes-Vázquez N.del C.
Published: July 2023

En esta investigación se extrajo aceite de nuez pecanera variedad criolla por prensado en frío, y posteriormente se micro encapsuló en esferas de alginato de calcio, evaluándose la relación aceite-alginato 20:80, 30:70 y 40:60 sobre estabilidad de la emulsión, eficiencia de encapsulamiento, diámetro y cantidad de esferas. El incremento en la cantidad de aceite produjo emulsiones estables con eficiencia de encapsulamiento distintas (P˂0.05) con 93, 91 y 85% respectivamente sin modificar (P˃0.05) el diámetro con 1 mm y cantidad de esferas de 25g. Para las pruebas del efecto de encapsulamiento sobre la calidad del aceite se prepararon lotes de aceite encapsulado sin antioxidante (AE), con antioxidante (AEax), y aceite sin encapsular sin antioxidante (AL) y con antioxidante (ALax), sometiéndolos a 0,10 y 20 días de almacenamiento a 37 ºC, para después evaluar los índices de acidez, yodo y peróxidos. Después de 20 días de almacenamiento estos índices permanecieron sin cambios (P˃0.05). El AEax presentó peroxidación a un nivel de 1.4 m.e.O2/Kg aceite menor (P˃0.05) a ALax con 1.6 m.e.O2/Kg de aceite. Estas microcápsulas tienen potencial para su aplicación dentro de la industria alimentaria en productos nutracéuticos y funcionales.

Published: July 2023

Sea cucumber communities in the wild have different population sizes because there is a high species interaction within the community. Based on the biological organization that is used to express community structure, species diversity is unique to the community level. The objective is to ascertain the structure of sea cucumber communities along the coast of Pasok Village in the Walea Besar District of Central Sulawesi. Data are collected using transect lines, which are divided into three observation stations with ten sampling plots at each. The research method is descriptive-quantitative. The community structure can be known from the domination index (ID), diversity index (H'), and abundance index (J) used to process the data. The results of the study found the diversity index showed the numbers 1.092, 1.056 and 1.089. The dominance of Holothuria scraba species was 0.2 Indv/m2, Holothuria atra 0.14 Indv/m2, and Bohadscia marmorata 0.08 Indv/m2.

Проведення моніторингу лістеріозу у тварин надає можливість здійснювати контроль за поширеністю захворювання та біобезпекою сировини і продукції тваринного походження з огляду на здоров’я населення. Метою роботи було проведення аналізу результатів мікробіологічного моніторингу з виявлення збудника лістеріозу серед тварин, хутрових звірів, птиці та кормів на території України за період 2018-2022 рр. для з'ясування рівня його поширеності в тваринницьких господарствах. Матеріал і методи. Роботу проведено в науково-дослідному бактеріологічному відділі ДНДІЛДВСЕ згідно діючих нормативних документів. Картографування одержаних даних по регіонах України виконано у програмному забезпеченні Quantum GIS версії 3.16.0. До векторних шарів щодо кордонів областей для класифікації обрано квантиль з 5 класами даних. Результати. За аналізом даних протягом 2018-2022 рр. на лістеріоз було досліджено 25070 зразків патологічного і біологічного матеріалів від свиней, великої і дрібної рогатої худоби, хутрових звірів, птиці та кормів. Порівняно з 2018 р., у наступні роки дослідного періоду частота виділення L. monocytogenes мала тенденцію до зменшення, як і об’єми дослідних зразків. Було засвідчено постійну циркуляцію L. monocytogenes на території Житомирської, Київської, Сумської та Черкаської обл. Найбільша кількість досліджень на лістеріоз була проведена серед свиней – 2158 зразків, але збудника не виділено. Серед 728 зразків дослідного патологічного матеріалу від великої рогатої худоби був виявлений 1 ізолят L. monocytogenes. Серед дрібної рогатої худоби було ідентифіковано 4 ізоляти L. monocytogenes із Житомирської (3) і Сумської (1) обл. серед перевірених 629 зразків патологічного матеріалу. Кількісні дослідження птиці на лістеріоз складали 18925 зразків патологічного матеріалу, із яких виділено 7 ізолятів L. monocytogenes. За результатами мікробіологічного моніторингу щодо лістеріозу серед хутрових звірів, коней та зразків кормів протягом 2018-2022 р. збудника лістеріозу не ідентифіковано.

Висновки. Ідентифіковано 14 ізолятів L. monocytogenes (1 ізолят від ВРХ; 4 – від ДРХ; 7 – від птиці; 2 – інше) після мікробіологічних досліджень 25070 зразків патологічного і біологічного матеріалів від свиней, великої і дрібної рогатої худоби, хутрових звірів, птиці та кормів за період 2018-2022 рр. Випадки виявлення захворювання і виділення ізолятів L. monocytogenes мали спорадичний характер, але постійно циркулювали в господарствах Житомирської, Київської, Черкаської і Сумської обл. України.
Sonographic assessment of Prostate and Post void Residual Urine Volumes in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy in Makurdi, North-central Nigeria
Authors: Chia Daniel Msuega , Hameed Mohammad , Ugande Alexis Aondoaseer , Obekpa Innocent
Published: July 2023

Background: Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a major global public health problem and the most common benign prostatic disease in elderly men. Although rarely life-threatening, the increased morbidity significantly lowers men's quality of life, necessitating significant financial commitment to their annual health budgetary expenditure. We aim at determining the sonographic volumes of the prostate and post void residual urine in adult Nigerian men with BPH in Makurdi and to document any relevant relationship between the two values. Materials and methods: This was a 10-month prospective cross-sectional study conducted from June 2021 to April 2022. Transabdominal ultrasound (TAUS) was used to measure the prostate and post-void residual urine volumes of 78 men aged 40years and older, with normal levels of prostatic-specific antigen (PSA), who were referred to the ultrasound unit of radiology department of Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH), Makurdi. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft excel with P<0.05. Results: Postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) was observed to increase alongside the prostate volume (PV) from the 5th to the 6th decade of life; however, PVR began fluctuating from the 7th to the 8th decade, even though PV continued to increase steadily to its peak value at the 70-79 years of age, or the 8th decade. Overall, the mean prostate and post void residual urine volumes were 64.07±37.00ml and 76.44±110.34ml, respectively. A statistically significant (P=0.017) relationship existed between age and prostate volume but not between PV and PVR (P=0.128), where there was instead a weak, positive correlation. Although the bladder wall thickness (BWT) was greater than 5mm in more than half of the respondents 43(55.10%), there was no statistically significant (P=0.130) relationship between age and BWT. Conclusion: We established 64.07±37.00ml and 76.44±110.34ml respectively, as the overall mean sonographic volumes of the prostate and post void residual urine in adult Nigerian men with BPH in Makurdi. Despite the weak correlation between the two volumes, they can be used as a baseline for monitoring the progression of prostatic hyperplasia, bladder outlet obstruction and deciding on the best treatment option.
Sustainability-Ready Evaluation: A Call to Action
Authors: DeLancey Debbie , Rowe Andy
Published: July 2023

The world is facing an unprecedented crisis of climate change and loss of biodiversity, but the evaluation profession has failed to develop the approaches and tools needed to effectively evaluate programs that operate at the nexus of human and natural systems. The Canadian Evaluation Society (CES) undertook a stocktaking in 2019–2020 to assess the state of sustainability-ready evaluation in Canada. The results confirmed that sustainability is not being systematically addressed by evaluators in Canada and the United States and that considerable work is needed to equip the profession to respond to the need. The CES has taken steps toward promoting the importance of sustainability, but more work is needed to ensure the profession is equipped to effectively address all dimensions of sustainability.

THE MANCUSES ISSUED IN THE NAME OF THE ḤAMMŪDID CALIPHS: A CORDOBA–BARCELONA–KYIV CONNECTION. NEW PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Armada Almudena Ariza
Published: July 2023

The aim of this study is to provide a new perspective on the Barcelona mancuses minted in the name of the Ḥammūdid caliphs of al-Andalus, in the 5th/11th century. It has traditionally been thought that both their dates and the choice of the types they imitate were random and that they were minted in response to mere economic issues. However, by considering the chronology of the model types and analyzing them in their unique historical context in which, unlike other Christian powers that issued imitation coins, the counts of Barcelona were vassals to the caliphs of Cordoba, we can conclude that neither the choice of model types nor the dates and known mint names are “the result of a whim”, as some have stated, but rather that they responded to the policy of alliances of the counts of Barcelona with the different powers of al-Andalus. They represent evidence of the recognition of the sovereignty of the Ḥammūdid caliphs, a recognition which has, at the very least, a legitimating value. Lastly, the coin hoards prove that the mancuses circulated not only in the territory of present-day Catalonia (the treasure of Odena), but also beyond its borders. This is evidenced by the treasure of Kyiv, which may well be a reflection of the relations between the Sephardic communities and those of the principality of Kyiv at a time when the interest in the ancient Khazar kingdom is reflected in the literature produced in Sepharad.
НОВІ ЗНАХІДКИ СКАНДИНАВСЬКИХ МОНЕТ ІХ–ХІ СТОЛІТЬ НА ТЕРИТОРІЇ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Kuleshov Serhii , Kotsur Victor
Published: July 2023

Дана розвідка – продовження дослідження, що викладене у статті «Нові знахідки скандинавських монет ІХ – ХІ століть на території України», опублікованій у 2020 р.1 Мета статті – проаналізувати нові знахідки скандинавських монет ІХ–ХІ століть на території України. Методологія дослідження. Застосовано методи історизму, узагальнення, об‘єктивності, історико-типологічний, порівняльного аналізу. Наукова новизна. З метою дослідження знахідок західноєвропейських денаріїв на території України автор використовує інформацію сайта українського форуму аукціону «Віоліті», де користувачі розміщують зображення знайдених монет для їх атрибуції. Усього за період 2020 – 2022 рр. нами на території України зафіксовано 10 знахідок скандинавських монет та однієї монети, скандинавське походження якої залишається під знаком питання. Серед них: 6 – данських, 3 – шведських та одна ірландська, наслідування англійських пенні, яких початку ХІ відносять до норвезько-ірландських. Причому наявні досить рідкісні екземпляри. Це напівбрактеат данського короля Харальда Синьозубого останньої третини Х століття, данський денарій короля Хардекнута, шведський денарій короля Олафа Шьотконунга комбінованого типу: «короткий хрест» – «довгий хрест», монета шведського короля Анунда Якоба, що наслідує англійський пенні Етельреда ІІ з Божим Агнцем. Слід відзначити, що було знайдено 4 монети данського короля Свена Естрідсена, правління якого припадає на третю чверть ХІ ст.Висновки. Можна констатувати наявність у грошовому обігу південної частини Київської Руси скандинавських монет, загальна кількість карбування яких у скандинавських країнах, порівняно з іншими західноєвропейськими державами, була незначною. Це побічно може свідчити про високий рівень інтенсивності використання на українських територіях тих часів західноєвропейських денаріїв як платіжних засобів. Автор вважає, що ці денарії були в обігу в Київській Русі ще на початку ХІІ століття.

Це говорить про початковий, можливо непрямий зв'язок місцевого населення з Ольвією. Найстарша монета – «дельфін» з околиць с. Садове (кінець VI – IV початок ст. до Р.Х.). Наймолодшою монетою є обол Деметра-Зброя, який дослідники датують 240-230рр до Р.Х. Цікавою нумізматичною знахідкою, на думку автора, є «редукований ас» із зображенням горгогейону, який використовували як прикрасу у вигляді бляшки. Серед монетних знахідок, у статті згадуються 2 бронзові монети Македонії, часів Олександра Великого. На аверсі цих монет зображено портрет Геракла у скальпі вбитого ним Німейського лева, а на реверсі – атрибути героя, який став богом – його знаменита палиця та лук із сагайдаком.

Значну увагу приділено вивченню скарбу знайденого у лютому 2019 р. зі східного боку с. Орлове (с. Понятівка) Білозерського району. У ньому налічувалося понад 85 мідних ольвійських монет – «борисфенів», з яких автор дослідив 63 монети. Проаналізовані «борисфени» відносяться до шести послідовних груп ольвійських оболів даного типу, зокрема, І група – 1 монета, ІІ група – 7 монет, ІІІ група – 3 монети, ІV група – 18 монет, V група – 28 монет, VI група – 6 монет. Старшою монетою скарбу є «борисфен» із диферентом №1, який належить до першої групи даних мідних монет. Наймолодша монета представлена «борисфеном» з диферентом №76, відноситься до шостої групи. Таким чином, тезаврація даного комплексу мідних монет Ольвії могла мати місце приблизно в 30-20-х рр. ІІІ ст. до Р.Х.

Всі проаналізовані у статті нумізматичні знахідки свідчать про проживання поблизу гирла р. Інгулець та його околицях населення, яке мало економічні зв'язки з Ольвією. Ця місцевість, принаймні в IV-ІІІ ст. до Р.Х. була обжитою, густонаселеною та розвиненою в економічному та культурному відношенні.
Shared governance in the public university
Authors: Santos Jose Leonardo , Filner Matthew
Published: July 2023

Public universities in the United States confront drastic changes as labour relations continue to evolve towards neoliberal managerial practices. Increasingly, faculty feel excluded from decision-making processes influencing their lives. This article provides a case study of Public Midwestern University (PMU, a pseudonym), where a faculty union went from protest to participation with administration to formulate a new model for shared governance. While PMU produced such a model, interviews with participants depict a larger economic context that cultivates mistrust and a great sense of uncertainty. The article discusses conflicting attitudes around unionisation, managerial practices and the future of higher education.

Despite the growing size of the academic precariat in the tertiary sector, this exploited group of workers lacks a voice in either their universities or their national union. In this article we draw on our experiences of transitioning from a small activist group to a broader research collective with influence and voice, while forging networks of solidarity. Through reflecting on developing the Precarious Academic Work Survey (PAWS), we explore how action research is a viable way of structurally and politically (re)organising academic work. We argue that partnering with changemakers such as unions as co-researchers disrupts their embedded processes so that they may be (re)politicised towards pressing issues such as precarity. Further, we highlight how research can be used as a call to action and a tool to recruit powerful allies to collaborate on transforming universities into educational utopias.

Transportation has a significant impact on the spatial structure of a place and its accessibility. It can shape urban spatial growth, reorganize the country's land use patterns, and stimulate the advancement of specific patterns. In this study, satellite images of Khulna city and its 5 km buffer area centering the bypass road for the years 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020 were classified to determine the land use changes as the land cover was categorized in water bodies, agriculture, vegetation, and built-up. Using a single dynamic degree, comprehensive dynamic degree, and expansion or reduction intensity index, the change rate and expansion rate of land use were determined within a 1-5 km buffer. It was found that most changes occurred within the 1-2 km buffer zone of the bypass road. As the distance from the road increases, the influence on land use decreases. To determine the land use transition due to the bypass road, a corridor assessment was done for a 2 km and 4 km buffer area, assuming the changes were uniform. The Difference-in-Difference (DID) estimation determined that the bypass has a significantly positive impact on land use changes. A placebo test was conducted to determine whether the changes were due to the bypass road or some other unobservable factor.

Routine implementation of guide extension catheters in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly increased success rates in challenging anatomies, such as in tortuous and severe calcified vessels. Recently, the “Child-In-Mother technique” has been tested successfully in carotid artery stenting (CAS) in patients with severe tortuosity of the common or internal carotid artery (ICA).

In the present report, we propose to use the “Child-in-Mother technique” to facilitate the delivery of a carotid stent in an ectatic, thrombotic and tortuous right coronary artery (RCA) in a patient presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Comparison of genetic variations between high- and low-risk Listeria monocytogenes isolates using whole-genome de novo sequencing

Published: July 2023

In this study, genetic variations and characteristics of Listeria monocytogenes isolates from enoki mushrooms (23), smoked ducks (7), and processed ground meat products (30) were examined with respect to hemolysis, virulence genes, growth patterns, and heat resistance. The isolates that showed the highest pathogenicity and the lowest pathogenicity were analyzed to obtain the whole-genome sequence, and the sequences were further analyzed to identify genetic variations in virulence, low-temperature growth-related, and heat resistance-related factors. All isolates had β-hemolysis and virulence genes (actA, hlyA, inlA, inlB, and plcB). At low temperatures, isolates with high growth (L. monocytogenes strains SMFM 201803 SD 1-1, SMFM 201803 SD 4-2, and SMFM 201804 SD 5-3) and low growth (L. monocytogenes strains SMFM 2019-FV43, SMFM 2019-FV42, and SMFM 2020-BT30) were selected. Among them, L. monocytogenes SMFM 201804 SD 5-3 showed the highest resistance at 60°C and 70°C. The strains SMFM 201804 SD 5-3 (high-risk) and SMFM 2019-FV43 (low-risk) harbored 45 virulence genes; 41 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were identified between these two isolates. A comparison of 26 genes related to low-temperature growth revealed 18 SNVs between these two isolates; a comparison of the 21 genes related to heat resistance revealed 16 SNVs. These results indicate that the differences in the pathogenicity of L. monocytogenes SMFM 201804 SD 5-3 and L. monocytogenes SMFM 2019-FV43 are associated with the SNVs identified in virulence genes, low-temperature growth-related genes, and heat resistance-related genes.

Published: July 2023

This case report presents a rare and intricate pediatric floating elbow fracture involving a Monteggia-equivalent fracture, ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture, and radial nerve injury. The unique mechanism of injury highlights the importance of increased awareness and parental education for accident prevention. Elastic intramedullary nailing was employed for both humeral shaft and forearm fractures, leading to favorable outcomes. Despite the severity of the fractures and radial nerve injury, the prognosis was positive, with nerve function restoration and satisfactory functional recovery. However, the development of avascular necrosis of the radial head remains a challenge, emphasizing the need for further research to better understand and manage these uncommon and complex injuries.

Consumption of vegetables and fruits that contain sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber are needed by the body in achieving a healthy lifestyle. Consuming less vegetables and fruit can cause degenerative diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure, and cancer. Riskesdas 2018 data states that as many as 95.5% of the population aged ≥5 years consume vegetables and fruits under the recommendation. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence fruit and vegetable consumption in early childhood kindergartens in the working area of ​​the RI Sidomulyo puskesmas. The research is quantitative with cross sectional design. The sampling technique uses stratified random sampling technique with a sample of 99 people. Statistical test results using Chi square obtained knowledge of mother's nutritional P value = 0.373> α 0.05 (CI = 649-3.164), children's nutritional status P value = 0.903> α 0.05 (CI = 385-4436), Children's Favorite P value = 0.050 <α 0.05 (CI = 1,103-8,233), Availability of Vegetables and Fruits P value = 0.023 <α 0.05 (CI = 1,226-6,302), Menu Variations P value = 0,600> α 0.05 (CI = 514-3,160), Family Practice P value = 0.814> α 0.05 (CI = 0.401-2.051), Family Income P value = 0.070 <α 0.05 (CI = 683-54.007). The conclusion is that there is no relationship between maternal nutritional knowledge, nutritional status, variations in menu, family practices while preference, availability of vegetables and fruit, family income is related to the behavior of kindergarten consumption of fruits and vegetables in the working area of ​​the RI Sidomulyo Puskesmas in 2020. It is expected that the puskesmas and schools to be able to provide parents with information about the importance of vegetable and fruit consumption so that they can prepare vegetables and fruit for their children's daily supplies.

The increasing number of social companies in Malaysia and their contribution to the Malaysian socio-economy and sustainability is promising. Although several social companies in the nation promote social ideals and address economic, social, and environmental concerns, many obstacles and uncertainties remain in their path to sustainability. This study adopted a library research approach which consisted of numerous publications such as Google Scholar, Mendeley, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science (WoS). The reviewing process begins from January 2023 until March 2023. To date, no study has evaluated the significance of sustainability accounting on Malaysian social business sustainability. A fresh conceptual framework that relates sustainability accounting and social enterprise sustainability was developed for sustainable organisations using an extensive current literature analysis. Furthermore, this study investigated the effect of sustainability accounting on sustainable performance among Malaysian social companies. The contributions include enhancing existing literature on sustainability and providing novel insights into the paradigm of organisational sustainability by presenting a new conceptual framework based on a comprehensive literature assessment. Future scholars could benefit from the publication by investigating the proposed paradigm empirically. This study gives insights to policymakers, social entrepreneurs, and stakeholders to facilitate well-informed decisions.

Aim: To compare the result outcomes in vesicovaginal stula repair by TRANSABDOMINAL (omental ap) and TRANSVAGINAL (martiusap) approach. The single center 2 year prospective study of patients who were having Materials and Methods: simple vesicovaginal stula, managed by trans abdominal approach using omental ap and transvaginal approach using martius ap used as 2nd alternatives to assess recurrence rate, hospital stay, intraoperative time and blood loss, perioperative complication and post op recovery time. Statistical analysis was done by unpaired t-test, chi square test and sher's exact test. There were Results: 76 women having simple vesicovaginal stula included in our study. Out of which 42.11% had repaired by transvaginal approach using martius ap and 57.89% patients had repaired by transabdominal approach. There were no peri-operative complications present in either approach. Mean operative time was shorter in transvaginal approach (132.25min) than transabdominal approach (263.91min.). Intraoperative blood loss was slightly more in trans abdominal approach as compared to transvaginal technique. Median duration of hospital stay was shorter for transvaginal approach (7 days) than transabdominal approach (16days). In transabdominal approach 90.91% (40/44) patient had successfully repaired and 93.75% (30/32 ) patient treated successfully by transvaginal approach which was insignicant (p value =1). We have inferred from our study that both t Conclusion: ransvaginal and transabdominal approaches provides same amount of results in simple vesicovaginal stula repair when done along with use of interposition aps with slightly better outcomes in case of transvaginal repair also better in terms of intraoperative time, blood loss and hospital stay of patients.
