Challenges Adversely Affecting the Performance of the Manufacturing Sector of Developing Countries
Authors: Munkaila, Alhassan
Published: May 2021

The manufacturing sector of Ghana is bedeviled with many challenges, both external and internal, ranging from poor regulatory environment to inadequate level of skilled labour. Manufacturing firms in Ghana were surveyed, using a sample size of 120, based on purposive sampling. The study was poised to determine those variables that were available and those that were not available in the firms and were a setback. In addition a rating scale was used to determine those that were more critical and could adversely affect the performance of the sector. The results revealed there were high rent costs (84.2%) and influx of foreign products (87.5%) as well as inadequate level of skilled labour (77.5). The study was also intended to determine which variable was critically challenging and its absence could affect the performance of the sector. Clearly, poor regulatory environment was ranked the highest on the part of external challenges while inadequate skilled labour was rank the highest on the part of internal challenges. It is therefore recommended that skills development should be the priority of manufacturing firms, with the aim of closing manufacturing skills gap. Further, the government should make conscious attempt to regulate the influx of foreign products into the country.
Teacher Collaboration: The Need for Trust in the Classroom Context
Authors: Willy Lima  , Kadian Northover  , Greogery Hewitt  , Prof. Enid F. Newell-McLymont
Published: May 2021

Teacher coaching in schools takes various forms, but is commonly conceived as a means of providing personalised professional support to teachers through discussion about their practice (Lofthouse, Leat & Towler, 2010, p. 5). This paper fact resulted into a critical analysis of chapters two, four, and eight of the book "The Coaching Approach for Teaching and Learning" by Newell-McLymont (2015). For this reason, the paper reviewed Collaboration in the Classroom Context. Collaboration in the classroom context is a vital part of meeting the diverse needs of students in building an inclusive education system. Collaboration between teachers, parents, and specialists dealing with students with special needs in a context of school integration. Collaborative problem solving is a skill valued by the professional community, looking for people who can solve complex problems with their colleagues in the era of robotization of jobs. However, Collaboration remains a daunting challenge for students and professionals alike, where fairness, creativity, and people-to-people relationships can quickly become obstacles. Chapter four deals with the tools of cognitive coaching. These tools are the basis for the main ideas in this chapter. Some of these tools are "diagnostic" in nature Newell-McLymont (, 2015, p. 56-63). Finally, chapter eight of Newell-McLymont (2015) explores flexibility and the Nonjudgmental Nature of Cognitive Coaching. It has thus far been realized that the "cognitive coaching approach is a flexible approach for teaching and learning. It is "nonjudgmental" in nature. As a result, "trust can be established, and transformation can be experienced in the teaching and learning context" (p. 135). Where teacher-student relation is concerned, "whatever path a student may use to come up with a solution, the teacher can see it as valid or invalid and will be able to offer the necessary suggestions concerning its correctness" (p. 138). In the wake of the education reform, the school environment's renewal seems to be moving towards greater openness to working team consultation. Seen as a way to break isolation between teachers and other types of staff in complementary services, collaborative work can contribute to the overall development of students by ensuring better consistency in interventions.

A multi-layer sieving machine is of multiplayer and highly efficient sieving machine that retains particles based on the difference in size. This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of a multi-layer electric sieving machine. The performance test of the machine was carried out in the Agricultural department farm of the Federal College of Forestry, Jericho Ibadan. The electrical sieving machine was used to carry out separation operations on a mixture of food crop materials at varying speeds. The machine passed the test of workability; it was able to perform the specific function of sieving and separating food materials of varying sizes. Mixed food materials were poured in the first layer of the mesh assembly and sieved. The time to completely separate the mixture into the three different layers was recorded and the respective weight of each layer was finally measured. Layer 1 had a mean weight gain of 0.42kg; layer 2 had a mean weight gain of 0.14 while layer 3 had a mean weight loss of 0.56kg when sieving was done for 5 minutes; at 7 minutes, Layer 1 had a mean weight gain of 0.1kg; layer 2 had a mean weight gain of 0.18 while layer 3 had a mean weight loss of 0.28kg, while at 10 minutes, the first layer had a mean weight gain of 0.06 kg, second layer also had mean weight gain of 0.02 while the third layer had a mean weight loss 0.08. The mean efficiency was highest at 99% in all the layers when sieving operation was carried out for 10 minutes and lowest at 96% for layer 3 when the machine ran for five (5) minutes. The effect of change in speed suggests that increment in sieving speed above 750rpm or below 300rpm gives a low efficiency.
Intelligent Lunar Landing Site Recommender

Published: May 2021

Space exploration is brewing to be one of the most sought after fields in today’s world with each country pooling in resources and skilled minds to be one step ahead of the other. The core aspect of space exploration is exoplanet exploration, i.e., by sending unmanned rovers or manned spaceships to planets and celestial bodies within and beyond our solar system to determine habitable planets. Landscape inspection and traversal is the core feature of any planetary exploration mission. It is often a strenuous task to carry out a machine learning experiment on an extraterrestrial surface like the Moon. Consequent lunar explorations undertaken by various space agencies in the last four decades have helped to analyze the nature of the Lunar Terrain through satellite images. The motion of the rovers has traditionally been governed by the use of sensors that achieve obstacle avoidance. In this project we aim to detect craters on the lunar landscape which in turn will be used to determine soft landing sites on the lunar landscape for exploring the terrain, based on the classified lunar landscape images.

Creswell (2014) noted that qualitative research is an approach for exploring and understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem. The article embodies a critical analysis of chapters one to twelve of Stake (2010). In chapter one, Qualitative research: How things work is seen as qualitative, is based on a comprehensive aim seeking to answer the questions why and how. It analyzes actions and interactions, taking into account the intentions of the actors. An analytic perspective on the interpretation of the Person as an instrument is the thrust of chapter two. Chapter three examines the experiential understanding: Most qualitative study is experiential, in this chapter stake (2010) discusses two common research approaches, qualitative and quantitative methods. Chapter four Stating the Problem: Questioning How This Thing Works. Chapter five deals with the Methods-Gatherings Data, while chapter six illuminates the Review of Literature: Zooming to See the Problem. In chapter seven, the author implores the evidence: Bolstering Judgment and Reconnoitering. Chapter eight propels Analysis and Synthesis: How Things Work. Chapter nine acts as a mirror that invites the researcher to examine their action research and Self-­Evaluation: Finding our Own How our Place Works. Finally, in chapters ten to twelve, the author compels Storytelling: Illustrating How Things Work, Writing the Final Report: An Iterative Convergence, and Advocacy and Ethics: Making Things Work Better.

Sector Wise Stock Market Performance during Pre and Post Covid Era
Authors: Dr. Avijit Sikdar
Published: May 2021

The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has an unprecedented and immense impact on the world economy as well as the Indian economy. The stock market, treated as a barometer of the economic activity of any country is adversely affected. Not even in India, countries like Germany, France, the USA, and Spain have been strongly affected. Nationwide lockdown, restriction on the transportation system, demand-supply disequilibrium lead to slow down in the economy and create a fear factor among the participants of the capital market. Rapid fall in the share price and increased volatility are identified during this period.  The present study tries to compare the stock price return volatility, no of the transaction, and delivery percentage of various listed companies listed on BSE during the pre and post COVID 19 periods to examine the effect of this pandemic on the economy as a whole.

Period of Study: In this paper, we have consideredthe pre-covid period from 1st September 2019 to 15th March 2020 and post covid period from 16th March 2020 to August 2020.

Sample: for this study, we have selected 50 BSE listed Companies covering 5 sectors, viz. Pharma, Automobile, Industrial Products, Banking and Finance, and Consumer Goods.

Statistical Method: We have used paired sample t-test for comparing the arithmetical mean of different capital market parameters for these two sub-periods for each sector separately and standard deviation of daily return as a measure of volatility.

Conclusion: From the study, we have observed that average daily share price; average daily return; daily no. of transactions and volatility is significantly different from pre and post covid period for most of the sectors. However, we have not perceived any significant difference in the delivery percentage of traded shares of these sectors between two study periods.

A study entitled “Ripening regulation and post-harvest life improvement of banana Cv. Malbhog using ethephon” was under taken to assess the effect of ethephon on banana fruit ripening and quality parameters after harvest under ordinary room condition. The experiment was conducted at Central laboratory of Post-Harvest Horticulture of Agriculture and Forestry University, Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal in 2016. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in which the experiment comprised of five treatments; control(no use of ethephon), ethephon @ 250 ppm, ethephon @ 500 ppm, ethephon @ 750 ppm and ethephon @ 1000 ppm replicated four times. On the final day of storage, the maximum physiological loss in weight was observed with ethephon @ 1000 ppm (24.52 %) and the colour score (7.75). Similarly the highest Total Soluble Solids content (19.32ºBrix) was observed with ethephon @ 1000 ppm and the maximum shelf life was found with control (14 days). From the experiment, the use of ethephon @ 1000 ppm and ethephon @ 750 ppm was found more effective regarding banana ripening and other various post harvest parameters and in case, if the bananas are to be stored for long duration, the control treatement is recommended to the farmers because it increases the shelf life.

Published: May 2021

To date, a number of studies have been conducted on the relationship of HCV genotypes with complications such as liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, but research on the correlation of the genotype with extrahepatic clinical manifestations associated with HCV, especially rheumatic manifestations, is insufficient. The purpose of the study is to analyze the most common genotypes of viral hepatitis C in the Republic of Uzbekistan and study their correlation with rheumatic manifestations of HCV. Methods: This study involved 88 patients with HCV infection who received inpatient and subsequent ambulatornoe treatment in Scientific Research Institute of Epidemiology, Microbiology and Infectious diseases of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Diagnostics procedures at the initial level included a set of studies, i. e. clinical, rheumatological and laboratory studies, ultrasound of the joint. In addition, 88 samples of RNA - positive serum from patients diagnosed with HCV were genotyped. Results: the Results showed that genotype 1 of HCV (subtype 1b) is the main genetic variant of HCV in Uzbekistan. Based on the results obtained, the genotypic features of viruses can be markers of the development of extrahepatic clinical manifestations. There is a reliable direct correlation between the incidence and severity of associated arthritis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis C with genotype 1b of the virus according to our research. Conclusions: The results of the study can be provided to help the doctor of the polyclinic service as recommendations that patients with the 1b genotype of the virus have a greater adherence to associated arthritis, and in this case, timely targeted consultation of a specialist is necessary.

Objective: to assess the quality of life of patients and the state of the hepatopancreatobiliary system before and after cholecystectomy in the long-term period. Materials and methods: at the first stage, 107 people were examined after emergency, planned cholecystectomy (with symptomatic and asymptomatic course of GI). At the second stage, 90 people at different times after cholecystectomy for a more detailed examination of the external secretory function of the pancreas was performed. Results: the majority of patients, regardless of the type of surgery, had symptoms of dyspepsia associated with the development of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (gastroesophageal reflux, duodenogastric reflux, sphincter Oddi dysfunction). A decrease in the external secretory function of the pancreas was shown regardless of the period after cholecystectomy. Conclusion: after cholecystectomy, functional disorders of the digestive system predominate in the long-term period due to loss of the physiological function of the gallbladder.

American and Chinese Public Opinion in an Era of Great Power Competition
Authors: Irwin Daniel , Mandel David R. , Macleod Brooke
Published: May 2021

As US-China great power competition intensifies, public opinion polling may help gauge internal drivers of foreign policy decision-making. Using Pew Research Center data, we analyzed how Americans and Chinese perceived their own and each other’s countries between 2008-2016. We also compared these samples’ perceptions of current economic and future superpower leadership. While Chinese evaluated China more favorably than Americans evaluated the US, they also evaluated the US more favorably than Americans evaluated China. Among Americans, on average, Republicans viewed China less favorably and the US more favorably than Independents or Democrats. Although Chinese consistently viewed the US as the current economic leader, Chinese became increasingly optimistic about China’s prospects for future superpower preeminence over time. Conversely, American perceptions of America’s future status as a leading superpower became increasingly pessimistic over time, especially for Republicans and Independents. Republicans and Independents were also more optimistic about US economic leadership under Republican presidents, while Democrat perceptions were more consistent over time. We discuss our findings’ implications for US-China great power competition and in view of psychological theory.

Objective: This systematic review with a three-level mixed-effects meta-analysis examined the characteristics of the programs designed to promote physical activity (PA) outdoors, seeking to identify the characteristics associated with greater health benefits, as well as the motivational strategies used to go along with the interventions. Methods: A systematic search in three electronic databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, and SCOPUS) of articles published from January 2008 to January 2020 were conducted. Two reviewers independently performed screenings, data extraction, and risk of bias (RoB) assessment of 23 studies. The meta-analysis analyzed conceptual and methodological variables that could moderate the benefits of PA in outdoor environment programs. Results: Outdoor physical activity PA-based programs have moderate effects on physical functionality and quality of life, as well as strong effects on self-concept and affectivity. A higher age and a male gender were identified in the mediation analysis as favorable conditions for the health effects. Counterintuitively, the use of motivational strategies was related to a reduction in the therapeutic benefits. Conclusions: This systematic reviews and meta-analysis analyzed the intrinsic characteristics of the programs designed to promote outdoor PA. The explicit consideration of motivational, affective or cognitive processes as possible mediating factors of adherence to participation is recommended both in the design and in the evaluation of the programs. Their great heterogeneity in the design and in the outcomes evaluated makes comparability difficult.
The Frankl Cure for the 21st Century: Why Self-Transcendence is the Key to Mental Health and Flourishing
Authors: Wong paul T P
Published: May 2021

Viktor Frankl has the best answer to the mental health crisis during COVID-19, and we ignore him at our own peril. His dialectical and paradoxical self-transcendence (ST) model emphasizes that we can find our true self only by letting go of the old one. He defines meaning in terms of ST and propose that meaning is the key to mental health and flourishing. My remembrance of Frankl revolves on his three aspects of ST: (1) ST is an awe-inspiring way of life, (2) ST is at the heart of therapies, and (3) ST represents a new paradigm for wellbeing research.

Letter: A call for a radical change in research evaluation in Spain
Authors: Delgado-López-Cózar Emilio , Ràfols Ismael , Abadal Ernest
Published: May 2021

This letter is a call to the Spanish scientific authorities to abandon current research evaluation policies, which are based on an excessive and indiscriminate use of bibliometric indicators for nearly all areas of scientific activity. This narrow evaluation focus is especially applied to assess the individual performance of researchers. To this end, we first describe the contexts in which the journal impact factor (JIF) and other bibliometric indicators are being used. We then consider the toxic effects of this abuse of indicators. Finally, we outline some significant transformations and initiatives being introduced in various academic fields and regions of the world. These international initiatives offer alternatives to bibliometrics that can improve evaluation processes, and we urge political leaders in Spain to adopt and develop them.

Published: May 2021

Background: The transverses abdominis plane block (TAP block) is one of the widely used regional analgesic techniques in cesarean section. There are different variations of the procedure. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of the modified surgeon assisted bilateral TAP block in patients undergoing cesarean section Patients&Methods: Sixty patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were randomized into two groups to receive either TAP block with 40 ml of bupivacaine 0.25%(study group) or 40 ml normal saline as placebo after obtaining informed consent. All patients will receive intravenous diclofencac75mg every 12 hrs postoperatively. Postoperatively, there was an assessment every 2hrs during the first 24hrs by the visual analogue pain scale (VAPS). Time to the first analgesic request will be measured as primary outcome and all patients will receive opioid on demand or VAPS > 4 with 25mg pethidine intramuscularly. Moreover, total opioid requirement in 24hrs will be measured as secondary outcome along with postoperative complications as nausea, vomiting and abdominal distention. Complications related to the TAP procedure will be also assessed. Results: The median (interquartile range) time to the first analgesic request in the first 24hrs postoperatively was significantly shorter in the placebo group compared to the study group; 4h (4, 6) and 24h (10, 24) with p value < 0.001. Postoperative opioid requirement was significantly higher in the control group (30/30{100%}) than the study group (13/30{43.3%}). The median (interquartile range) number of opioid doses was significantly higher in the placebo group compared with the study group; 2(2, 2) and 0(0, 1) respectively. At all points in the study, pain scores both were lower in the study group (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: The modified surgeon assisted bilateral TAP block is relatively new, safe and cost effective technique which provides adequate postoperative analgesia allowing for better maternal ambulation and better postoperative recovery.

Rivalry between human ideation and virus mutation: two competing means of sustainability
Authors: Clermont Pascal
Published: May 2021

For the first time in human history, obtaining a COVID-19 vaccine has become essential for the sustainability of our species. As an amazing product of collective ideation, remarkably safe and efficient vaccines have been invented, tested, distributed, and administered to the population on a voluntary basis. The fast-mutating individual behavior of the virus is probably guided by a similar goal of the sustainability of the species. With this commentary, we analyze and compare two means of sustainability through adaptability: collective ideation in the case of humans and individual mutations in the case of viruses — two very different species whose behaviors are driven by sustainability.
MILITARY MEDICINE IN THE MEDIEVAL EASTERN EUROPE
Authors: Savchuk H. N.
Published: May 2021

The article considers some evidences about military medicine in the Eastern Europe, especially on the modern Ukrainian territory, in 11th–13th centuries. Analogies from the West-European history are represented. The information from contemporary chronicles illuminates medieval medical thoughts in the practice of Rus’ physicians. Some facts are leaded out the logical way. Connections between contemporary conditions and the next development of medicine in late-medieval Ukraine are followed. Research Methodology. As the main method, a logical analysis is used that allows supplementing missing information by comparison with analogous situations in other regions, investigating the text in order to find additional data, in some cases, to suggest the most likely option. A chronological method for supplying the material was also used. Results. It is concluded that military medicine in Kievan Rus’ of the 11th–13th centuries was not inferior to Western European analogues. Some differences are associated with the earlier and strong influence of Byzantine and local traditions. Military medicine at that time was not so clearly separated from the civilian. Some lagging behind Western Europe is noticeable in the theoretical part - in Russia medical schools have not been formed, unlike the universities of Italy, France, England and Spain. Some monks and priests collected Byzantine medical treatises, sometimes supplementing them with descriptions of local traditions, but no more. Secular doctors had good practice, as evidenced by the description of the anamnesis of illnesses and wounds in the annals, but their knowledge was passed only to their own children. This is one of the reasons that in the subsequent there was a backlog from Western Europe. Novelty. Separate articles of the Old Russian chronicles are presented as a source of not only political and cultural, but also medical information. For the first time, a fairly profound knowledge of the ancient Russian chroniclers in this field has been demonstrated. A similar theme is quite common in foreign historiography, but still remains little studied in the domestic. The practical significance. The material of the article can be used to prepare general works from the history of medicine or for further scientific work in this direction.

Authors: Abu Shamsieh R. N.
Published: May 2021

The aim – to improve the results of treatment of patients with strangulation inguinal hernias by laparoscopic technologies use in lightweight mesh implants, fixed themselves, technology electric fabrics [1–9].

Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 125 videolaparoscopic surgery for inguinal hernia in 112 (89.6 %) men and 13 (10.4 %) of women aged 17–84 (57.0 ± 19.8) years for transabdominal preperetonial patch (TAPP) technique using different mesh implants at the Department of Surgery, anesthesiology and intensive care postgraduate education of the National Medical University named after A. A. Bogomolets, for the period from 2018 to 2020. Results and discussion. Recurrence [3] were in the first group and reasonable, in our opinion, insufficient size of mesh material. Further, using prostheses that were on a lower side 10 cm, recurrence was observed. Detection of hematoma was evacuated puncture under ultrasound. In 2 cases of hematoma encountered when using conventional polypropylene mesh were due to inadequate hemostasis. Hematoma using heavy monofilament polyester mesh with that fixed itself, caused by the brutality of the prosthesis surface damage and muscle-aponeurotic "platform" to which it is fixed. So when using light grids, fixed themselves, there was no bruising at all. Complications. 1. The use of lightweight mesh, fixed themselves laparoscopic treatment of strangulation hernia for TAPP technique avoids hematoma, reduce the amount of gray in the operation area, practically non- inguinal pain syndrome in the postoperative period. 2. The use of mesh implants, fixed themselves methodologies Electric soft tissue material can reduce transaction costs 2 times that fosters the popularization of laparoscopic approach.
