The economic impact of false positivity of COVID-19 PCR testing in the Czech Republic
Authors: Karel Tomáš , Mazouch Petr , Fischer Jakub
Published: April 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entire world, causing significant losses to the world's population's health, lives, and economic levels. The process of testing using RT-PCR tests also had other serious economic impacts. The testing process also sometimes results in erroneous results. One of them is false positivity. This article uses the Bayesian approach which estimates the economic impacts of false-positive results. The Bayesian approach takes into account a prior probability distribution depending on the prevalence of the disease in the population. False-positive results can be minimized by retesting positive persons who have no clinical symptoms of COVID-19. The costs of retesting these people are significantly lower than those associated with isolating them and quarantining their contacts.

Authors: Srivastava Anirudh , Řežábek Pavel
Published: April 2022

The way we pay has been evolving over a large period now with the slow fade out of paper money the digital system of payments is seen to pique the interests of consumers, institutions, and businesses. It is simply due to the more efficient features it displays over fiat money and this is what the paper tries to identify if whether there exists an impact of these digital payments over the economy of the Czech Republic by carrying out a linear and multiple regression employing selected indicators from 2015 to 2020. To test for heteroscedasticity in the obtained regression models the Breusch pagan test was employed. The results showed us that there does exist an impact of these digital payments but not enough that a switch or larger usage be employed to such a payment system this could also be due to the insufficient transactional value data available for such digital payments the access to more data can also allow to recognize the real demand of digital payment products by consumer which will enable more supply of digital payment system and providers, thus more wide-ranging research with more digital payment inclusive data could be carried out to identify the real impact of these payment systems over an economy.

The main purpose of this paper is to compare the poverty statuses of European Union countries in 2010 and 2018. The specific purpose is to assess levels of poverty and material deprivation for EU countries. The study relied on the positional TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) approach. With these methods, it is possible to determine the poverty statuses: persistent conspicuous poverty, poverty without serious material deprivation, material deprivation without severe poverty, and no severe poverty. Three types of poverty status were identified in EU countries: persistent conspicuous poverty, transient unnoticeable poverty and no severe poverty. Central and Eastern European countries (especially Romania, Latvia, Bulgaria and Poland) witnessed a clear improvement in their statuses in 2010–2018. A large number of countries had a transient unnoticeable poverty status. In turn, no countries had experienced a clear deterioration their status. Eurostat data provided an empirical basis for this study.

Authors: Mulang Hastuti
Published: April 2022

The problem that managers or leaders face in an organization or company to compete in ensuring the organization's survival is the existence of employees as human resource assets. Turnover intentions arise in employees when there is perceived injustice and work-life balance in the company because needs are not met. This study uses a quantitative approach, with the type and source of data in this study being primary data in the form of a questionnaire given to the entire sample of 70 employees of PT. BSB–Kalla Group. Data analysis used a quantitative method with SEM using the SmartPLS. The study results found that employee engagement cannot be a mediating variable on organizational justice and work-life balance on turnover intention. The direct effect shows positive and significant results from the two independent variables on the dependent variable. Indirectly mediated by employee engagement, the two independent variables negatively affect the dependent variable on the turnover intention. Based on the results of the research and discussion described previously, it can be concluded in this study that turnover intention is determined by the application of organizational justice to the company and creates a work-life balance for each employee through employee engagement as a mediating variable.
Environmental Justice and Impact of Palm Oil Plantation Expansion on Inland Fisheries: Case study on the Wetlands of the Middle Mahakam Area inIndonesia
Authors: Ningsih Etik Sulistiowati , Jarayabhand Padermsak , Erwiantono Mr.
Published: April 2022

The recent development of social inclusion issues has enabled the dissemination of environmental justice to improve the livelihood of rural communities. In contrast, as a major stakeholder in wetland areas, the palm oil industry accelerates the distribution of inequality issues in inland fisheries. To balance the interest of multilevel stakeholders through successful environmental justice and natural resource management in the wetland area, this case study identified the aspects of environmental justice associated with the issues of localities and land conversion to palm oil plantations in the Middle Mahakam Area, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Several in-depth interviews were conducted in this study using a semi-structured questionnaire and participant observations. The expansion of palm oil plantations evidently contributed to the environmental impact, primarily deteriorating the water quality of the area. This phenomenon was found to have a negative influence on the income of fishers, which potentially caused conflicts among the stakeholders. Fishers themselves also contributed to destructive fishing because of the misperception of common natural resources and economic reasons. Moreover, the local government considers the palm oil industry as an income generator rather than an actor in environmental degradation. Additionally, environmental justice has generally relied on the grievances and complaints of the fishers for the management of the local environment and fisheries. Therefore, distribution, procedure, and recognition of justice significantly contributed to these interrelated issues in the Middle Mahakam Area.

Published: April 2022

Heavy metals bioaccumulation in the food supply chain is a critical environmental issue, required drastic action plans for health risk reduction. In this study, we aim to determine the effects of heavy metal exposure on the morphology and anatomy of paddy plant (Oryza sativa L.). Paddy plants were treated with single metal of Cd, Zn and Fe, while the combined metals were Cd+Zn, Cd+Fe and Zn+Fe, each at 5 different concentrations on 21st day of the germination. The results showed that all single and combined heavy metals upon solo and multiple exposures have a significant effect to the plant growth, where heavy metals influence root length, stem length, tree height, number of leaves, number of tillers, number of root hairs and total rice yield. The heavy metal content in paddy plants were in the order of root>stem>grain>leaf. CO2 influences the growth of rice plants, but the effect of heavy metal exposure has influenced the rate of growth. A positive correlation was obtained between single exposure and double exposure in soil and paddy plant. The accumulation of single and combined heavy metals in greenhouses and CO2 greenhouses alters the cell structure and tissues of rice plants. Our findings also suggested that paddy plant has the ability to regulate its internal structure and adapt to high accumulation of heavy metals in plant structure, seemed to have some degree of tolerance to heavy metals.

The method development and preparation of a formulation processing the cumulative effects of CNS stimulant, effective natural vasodilatation, energy boosting to brain, normalize function of immune system to reduce tiredness and fatigue, as brain tonic with caffeine dust, Theobroma Cacao dust, glucose/sucrose, vitamin –C, Brahmi’s leaf extract respectively. These components were in the form of solid cubes formulation with dispersible deliquescent additives of sodium citrate. Thus, get soluble in a low temperature 60-70°C of Luke warm liquid medium for drinks. These low temperature instant-energy boosters take less time to prepare and avoid thermo-labile constituent’s degradation. This formulation acts as multifactor benefits to the volunteers as instant stimulation and steady energy–brain tonic along with zero recurrent hangovers.

Liver cirrhosis is a chronic liver infection. It consist of deterioration of liver cells along with fibrosis and infection generating nodules. Patients with cirrhosis frequently have either global malnutrition or alterations in specific aspects of nutritional status, such as micronutrient deficiencies, due to multiple mechanisms, including poor nutritional intake, poor absorption, and increased losses. In addition, one of the most significant nutritional problems in cirrhotic patients is muscle wasting and sarcopenia. Cirrhosis of the liver is more common than previously thought, affecting more than 633,000 adults yearly, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology. People with cirrhosis had a mortality rate of 26.4 percent during a two-year interval. Most common cause of the liver cirrhosis is alcohol intake (60 to 70 percent), biliary obstruction (5 to 10 percent), biliary atresia/neonatal hepatitis, chronic Hepatitis B or C (10 percent) and hemochromatosis (5 to 10 percent). Symptoms include jaundice, fatigue, bleeding or bruising easily, nausea, swelling and confusion. But many patients have no symptoms. Cirrhosis can lead to liver failure and liver cancer. Numerous studies have attempted to develop the Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) classification for prognosis of liver cirrhosis. Major complications of cirrhosis are, Ascites, Upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Authors: Aatre Prashasti , Mishra Priya
Published: April 2022

The present world is dealing with very high levels of obesity across various regions. There is a total of 38.9 per cent of the population in the world who are suffering from obesity or overweight. In this study, the main focus is to understand the relationship existing among the food purchasing modes and obesity through the means of empirical evidence. The study would put forward the important aspects that can be associated with this relationship and provide further insight into the situation. A quantitative approach is followed where a total of 250 responses are collected to statistically analyse the objectives in hand. It is found that the majority prefer a mixture of both online and offline options when it comes to purchasing in general or even food products. But in the case of other products, the number of respondents preferring the online mode is higher as compared to the specified case of purchase of food products. It is also found that the majority of the female respondents are normal weight category while the majority of the male respondents are overweight category. Similarly, in the case of food habits followed by the respondents.
Right to development and analysis of public private partnerships in infrastructure and space sector in India
Authors: Rajiv G
Published: April 2022

Development is the essence of well-being and can be broadly categorised into various categories, some of which are social, cultural, technological, economic development etc., A country needs to focus on importantly social, economic and technological development to be able to establish itself at the global level. India has gone far ahead in terms of this since independence. Thomas Friedman often quotes India among the four pillars of the new world order apart from the United States, The EU-Russia and China. India had adopted the planning commission which focussed on these developmental aspects and formulating the policies that were required for the same. The role of private partnership in the said development is of a great value as public private partnership ushers the wave of development and also ventures unto places where the government cannot reach through. Legislative lethargy and procedural nuances play a large role in non-addressing of developmental issues quickly. Hence, the role of public private partnership is far greater in achieving these goals quickly and efficiently.
Assessment of shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets bonded by trans-illumination method
Authors: Sharma Shaivi
Published: April 2022

Objective: To assess the clinical effectiveness of trans-illumination technique in bonding orthodontic brackets. Materials and method:  Forty premolars were arbitrarily divided into 4 groups. Bonding of brackets was done with 40- and 80-s light curing from the buccal or lingual aspect with different intensities. Shear bond strengths of brackets were measured using a universal testing machine. Collected data were analyzed statistically. Result: The highest shear bond was observed in group 2 (high intensity, 40 s, buccal) and the lowest found in group 3 (low intensity, 40 s, lingual). Conclusion:  In all experimental groups except group 2, shear bond strength was below the clinically accepted values. Doubling the curing time and increasing the light intensity during trans-illumination are recommended for achieving acceptable bond strengths.

Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other neurological diseases afflict people of all ages. Neuronal loss and cognitive dysfunction are common symptoms of these disorders. Overproduction of reactive oxygen species has been demonstrated to aggravate disease progression in previous investigations (ROS). Because of the large quantities of polyunsaturated fatty acids in their membranes and their fast oxygen consumption rate, neurons are especially susceptible to oxidative damage. The molecular aetiology of neurodegeneration produced by changes in redox balance has not yet been established. New antioxidants have shown considerable potential in modifying disease characteristics. For the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative illnesses such as Parkinson's disease, ALS and spinocerebellar ataxia and Huntington's disease, antioxidant-based therapies are examined extensively in the literature.

Introduction: Ovarian Cancers account for the greatest number of deaths from malignancies of female genital tract and it is the fifth leading cause of cancer fatalities in women. Surface epithelial tumours are the most common, followed by germ cell tumours. Objective: To analyse the expression of EGFR and HER 2neu using Immunohistochemisty in different Ovarian tumours with special reference to surface Epithelial tumours. Material and Methods: 52 cases of different ovarian tumours were studied. Cases included total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral saphingoophorectomy, oophorectomy, and cystectomy specimens. Expression of EGFR (ErbB1) and HER2-neu (ErbB2) was determined by immunohistochemical reactions performed with the Super SensitiveTM IHC Detection system by the BiogenixTM. Tests were performed according to the instructions of each kit. Results: The mean age of presentation for epithelial tumours was found to be 42.48 years. For malignant epithelial tumours mean age of presentation was found to be 51.1 years. EGFR positivity was found in 28.57 % of surface epithelial ovarians tumours, and HER2/neu positivity was seen in 20% of surface epithelial ovarian tumours. As far as malignant serous papillary adenocarcinoma is concerned, we found 33.3% positivity for HER2/neu and 50% positivity for EGFR.

Monetary items go about as a venture road and supply the predetermined monetary security to the financial backers upheld the gamble return profile of the monetary items. Previously, conventional monetary items were presented in India by banks (store account, credit account), disaster protection Corporation (LIC), and postal office (repeating store, National Saving Certificate, Kisan Vikas Patra). Nonetheless, lately with the appearance of progression of money related administrations industry, different monetary items are presented like common assets, shares, subordinates, life and non-extra security plans (Unit Linked Investment Plans (ULIPs), annuity plans, kids instruction plans, and so on.). Speculation inclination contrasts from one individual to another, as each individual acts contrastingly while contributing. Investmen t conduct of a private is directed by his own situation. With an assumption for creating significant yields throughout a time of your time and certain degrees of hazard, people put resources into a few monetary items. The current review is a work to investigate the speculation inclinations of salaried people towards monetary items upheld different segment factors.
