The Aspects of Food Security Formation in the Context of Epidemiological Restrictions in the USA
Authors: SHEBANINА О. , BURKOVSKA А. , LUNKINA T. , BURKOVSKAYA A.
Published: October 2022

In conditions of food instability, exacerbated by environmental, political, demographic processes, the state regulation of the economy is of particular importance to maintain food security and social stability. The development of technologies (both agri-food and digital) significantly improves the process of providing the population with food through the prism of their availability, accessibility and security. The aim of this study is to thoroughly analyze the current trends under the influence of epidemiological restrictions due to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States, and to identify the main strengths and weaknesses of the food security system in the United States, which may become a model for other countries that follow similar principles of national economies due to its flexibility and sustainability. The methodological basis of the study involves thorough analysis of indicators describing the dynamics of food security and consumer behavior in a pandemic. In addition, the study used methods of synthesis, deduction, induction, generalization, systematization, benchmarking and others. The article considers the main aspects of food security formation in the context of epidemiological restrictions in the USA. The dynamics of consumer spending on food during the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding costs with the indicators of the years before the pandemic (since 2010 to 2019) were studied. The state of the labor market in the restaurant business was analyzed and its main tendencies were clarified. Consumer benefits for food during the pandemic and mechanisms for meeting consumer needs were analyzed. Given the significant impact of factors, such as natural disasters, military conflicts, etc., which may pose a threat to food security, in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, an effective mechanism should be developed to counteract such risks
Place Attachment pada Gedung Juang 45 Pati sebagai Bangunan Bersejarah dan Ruang Publik
Authors: Aldin Bimo Wicaksono  , Adi Sasmito
Published: October 2022

Public space in the city center is an area that is very prominent in its growth, this is driven by various activities including: trade, entertainment/recreation, culture and government. Emotional attachment to a place or place attachment is important to understand, especially because of its potential role in developing public facilities, special places, and communities that work in those places, and also to anticipate conflicts that arise in the management of a place. The building, which was formerly known as Societeit Soekarame, was built during the Dutch government in the 1930s and was used as a place for the elite of Dutch colonialism to gather. During the war of independence, around 1947- 1948, Societeit Soekarame changed its name to Gedung Juang 45. Along with the times, Gedung Juang 45 was renovated with a concept that had been determined to become a Diorama Museumor an educational gallery entitled "Galeri Pati Mbiyen". This study shows that there are two factors driving place attachment in the Juan 45 Pati Building, namely the historical value attached to the building and the social value of society that grows in conjunction with space utilization activities

Hacia un modelo europeo de extensión rural agroecológica. Praxis participativas para la transición agroecológica. Un estudio de caso en Morata de Tajuña, Madrid
Authors:   , López-García Daniel
Published: October 2022

La dimensión de Desarrollo Rural de la investigación agroecológica se centra en generar procesos de sustentabilidad a escala de sociedad local a partir de los recursos agropecuarios, desde una perspectiva integral y holística; proceso que hemos denominado Transición Agroecológica. Ésta se ha desarrollado en el contexto latinoamericano, a nivel teórico y empírico. En sociedades postindustriales, como la europea, los aspectos empíricos se han desarrollado tan solo en situaciones de avanzado desarrollo de la Transición Agroecológica, y existe una carencia de investigación empírica en situaciones con con peores oportunidades de partida, las cuales resultan mayoritarias en la realidad rural europea. Para cubrir este hueco en el desarrollo empírico de la investigación agroecológica se ha puesto en marcha un estudio de caso en un municipio español, a lo largo de tres años de trabajo de campo. Morata de Tajuña es un municipio de 6.700 habitantes situado a 35 km de Madrid, muy afectado por los procesos socioeconómicos ligados a dicha área metropolitana, y con muy escaso peso de la actividad agraria en la economía y la sociedad locales. Los principales cultivos son el olivar, el ajo y la hortaliza, y en él hemos encontrado un escaso desarrollo de la Agroecología. La situación del sector agrario en el municipio resulta significativa respecto a otras zonas periurbanas europeas, o a aquellas zonas rurales en que la actividad agraria ha perdido peso en la sociedad local, situación mayoritaria en el medio rural de la UE­15.

Published: October 2022

COVID-19, 13 Mart 2020’de Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından “pandemi” hastalıklar grubuna eklenmiştir. Söz konusu pandemi, bireylerin günlük yaşantılarında küresel çapta çok yönlü değişimlere neden olmuştur. COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde maruz kalınan kısıtlamalar ve sosyal mesafe kuralları sebebiyle tüketicilerin satın alma davranışlarında da değişimler gözlemlenmiştir. Tüketiciler, yaşanan sürece kendilerini adapte etmek için kimi alışkanlıklarını değiştirmek zorunda kalmışlardır. Örnek olarak bu dönemde tüketiciler, kişisel hijyen ürünleri ve stoklanabilir gıda ürünlerine ilgi göstermişlerdir. Bu kapsamda ilk olarak tüketim kavramı ve ardından tüketicilerin satın almaya yönelik karar verme süreçlerini ve eylemlerini etkileyen faktörler üzerinde durulmuştur. Çalışma, COVID-19’un tüketici davranışlarına olan etkisini incelemek için İstanbul ilinin Başakşehir ilçesinde yaşayan sakinlerine yönelik 337 katılımcıdan oluşan bir anket çalışması yoluyla uygulanmıştır. Anket sonuçları IBM SPSS 26 programıyla analiz edilip yorumlanmış ve hipotezlerin sonuçları çalışmanın sonucunda analizlerle desteklenmiştir.
DISTRIBUTION OF HEAVY METALS IN SOILS WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE OYIGBO GAS FLARE SITE IN RIVER STATE, NIGERIA
Authors: OSAGIE OSAMUDIAMEN , OSUJI LEO C. , HART ADUABOBO I.
Published: October 2022

Six heavy metals were determined in soils to assess the impact gas flaring had on the micronutrient status of the soils. Soils were collected from the gas flaring site at Oyigbo in Rivers State Nigeria at 10m, 50m and 100m distance to the flare stack, from surface and subsurface depths. The soils were analysed for heavy metals using GBC-Avanta PM SN A6600 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Alterations in the micronutrient levels measured evidently point to the impact of the Oyigbo gas flare. However, concentrations of all the heavy metals were found to be within the target benchmark limits of Nigeria’s Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and the World Health Organization (WHO), except for Cd which recorded a concentration of 0.34  0.08 mg/kg at 0-10cm depth, 100m away from the flare and 1.18  mg/kg at 10-20cm depth, 10m away from the flare; these 10m results exceeded the 0.8mg/kg limit of DPR and WHO. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the differences in the concentrations of the other metals (Fe, Pb, Zn, Cr and Ni) were statistically significant (P<0.05); this was validated by a complimentary post-hoc analysis using the Turkey’s Multiple Comparison Test. The trend in the concentrations was Cr > Ni > Fe > Pb > Zn > Cd. A geographically similar control soils collected from Choba, a community outside the vicinity of the gas flaring, had significantly lower concentrations of metals. Given the tendency of heavy metals to bio-accumulate and bio-magnify, it is recommended that periodic human health risk assessment be carried out in the study area to ascertain the toxic potency of these metals to the agricultural community.

Authors: BUKHARI RUBIA , SHARMA A.
Published: October 2022

Sericulture is an important agro-based industry that involves raising silkworms to produce silk. Due to its favourable climatic and geographical circumstances, India is endowed with mulberry and non-mulberry silk production. The current COVID-19 dilemma has a significant global impact. This has impacted people from all walks of life, causing serious disruptions in all aspects of global economic activity, including the Economic growth of the country. From the standpoint of economic growth and development, the Indian government's statewide lockdown has devastating implications in all sectors of the country. The agro - based sector, like many other sectors in India, has been affected by the global pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak has wreaked havoc on all aspects of the silk value chain due to disruptions in the demand-supply relationship. There had been major interruptions in the supply of inputs, cocoon and silk costs, raw silk production, and silk items marketing.
Key Demand Factors in Professional Business ‎Courses: A Mixed-Methods Study‎
Authors: Adarbah Haitham Y. , Goode Mark. M. H.
Published: October 2022

Most businesses recognize that education and advancement ‎opportunities are essential components of human resource ‎development. Transfer of training is considered to be a significant ‎problem in the process of transferring knowledge, skills, and ‎attitudes from training to a job, even though training and ‎development strive to alter the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of a ‎trainee to bring about a positive change in the behavior of the trainee ‎as a result. Comparatively, little attention has been paid to the vital ‎demand factors for professional business courses (such as ‎Computing, Accounting, Human Resources, and Marketing) and ‎whether there are distinct segments in this marketplace. In this paper, ‎the key variables in determining the demand for professional ‎business courses were assessed through interviews with senior ‎managers of professional bodies and the application of an electronic ‎scale. Furthermore, based on the marketing theory of segmentation ‎analysis, the key segments were tested using both summary statistics ‎and chi-square tests. Finally, managerial and research implications of ‎these results were discussed.
Gendered Voices and Ideological ‎Communications: A Case from the Film Industry‎
Authors: Oladoja Folakemi S. , Tomere Dubamo
Published: October 2022

Gender is a social construct that finds expression in cultural and ‎ideological communicative practices. This research focuses on ‎gendered voices and ideological communications, drawing insights ‎from the film industry in Nigeria. The study adopts the triangulation ‎of critical discourse analysis, polyphony, and construction grammar ‎to appraise the instances of gendered voices in Tunde Kelani’s ‎Narrow Path, in order to tease out the underlying ideologies in the ‎emotioncy-driven communicative contexts. Two opposing ‎ideologies, namely, the patriarchalist and womanist dominate the ‎interactions of the characters. While the former was characterized by ‎the macho, parental, institutional, and communal voices, the latter ‎was orchestrated by the solidaristic and institutional voices. The ‎patriachalist ideals were both concretized through the same-gender ‎and other-gender personae, the womanist ideology was basically ‎enacted through same-gender persona. These were established ‎through gendered constructions propelled by: presupposition, ‎assertion, topic, and focus. High context society like the Yoruba ‎should provide equal space for both genders to express their ‎thoughts and partake in building a gender-unbiased society.

La evidencia que relaciona la terapia oncológica con la incidencia por COVID-19 es mixta y varía según el tipo de terapia administrada. La incidencia reportada en pacientes que reciben tratamiento oncológico varía entre 1-4%.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la incidencia y mortalidad por COVID-19 en pacientes oncológicos en tratamiento activo y evaluar si existe asociación con el esquema recibido en un hospital público de referencia.

Se analizó una cohorte retrospectiva que incluyó de forma consecutiva a los pacientes adultos que realizaron tratamiento ambulatorio desde marzo/2020 hasta abril/2021. El evento principal fue el diagnóstico confirmado de COVID-19. La asociación con los tratamientos oncológicos fue evaluada mediante regresión logística multivariada ajustando por edad, sexo, localización del tumor, cobertura de salud y localidad de residencia.

Se trata de una cohorte que incluyó 463 pacientes, mediana de edad 58 años (RIC = 47- 66), 73.3% mujeres. La incidencia de COVID-19 fue 5.6% con una tasa de mortalidad del 12%. El riesgo de infección fue mayor en los pacientes que recibían tratamiento únicamente con anticuerpos monoclonales (mAb), 14.3% vs. 4.9% (OR-ajustado = 3.3, p = 0.03) y aquellos en tratamiento con inmunoterapia (IO), 23.1% vs. 5.1% (OR-ajustado = 5.8, p = 0.03). La quimioterapia citotóxica (QMT), sola o en combinación con mAB no presentó mayor riesgo de infección. La edad, sexo, sitio tumoral, cobertura

de salud y localidad de residencia no tuvo asociación con la incidencia de COVID-19.

En base a nuestros resultados, el tratamiento con anticuerpos monoclonales o inmunoterapia se asoció con mayor incidencia de infección por COVID-19 mientras que la quimioterapia no modificó la frecuencia de infección por COVID-19.

La médecine et la pharmacopée traditionnelles sont pratiquées depuis l’antiquité par les peuples à travers le monde. En Afrique, elle occupe une place de choix dans la vie des communautés où elle constitue leur premier recours pour leurs besoins de santé. Cette place qu’occupe la médecine traditionnelle dans la demande et l’offre de soins de santé des populations a suscité un intérêt majeur dans le monde scientifique et a orienté les instances mondiales, régionales et communautaires pour encadrer cette pratique et optimiser la complémentarité avec la médecine conventionnelle à travers différents mécanismes et stratégies. Plusieurs pays et communautés économiques régionales se sont inspirés de ces démarches et ont amorcé un processus d’institutionnalisation de la médecine traditionnelle. Cette étude se propose de décrire le dispositif législatif et règlementaire autour de la médecine et de la pharmacopée traditionnelle au Niger et suggère des mécanismes de renforcement pour une intégration effective dans les soins de santé pour une meilleure sécurité d’utilisation des médicaments qui en sont issus. Pour cela, nous avons analysé les stratégies et initiatives internationales et dégagé leur influence sur les dispositions nationales pour esquisser des pistes d’amélioration de la pratique, de la qualité et de la sécurité des produits utilisés.

Published: October 2022

Eu égard à la nécessité de fédérer les ressources face aux multiples défis du secteur pharmaceutique, de nombreuses initiatives ont été prises par l’UEMOA à partir des années 2000 en vue d’optimiser la réglementation du secteur pharmaceutique de l’Union. Le règlement n°02/2005/CM/UEMOA demeure le texte fondateur de la réglementation pharmaceutique de l’espace UEMOA. Sa mise en œuvre s’est faite par l’adoption d’autres textes communautaires relatifs notamment aux produits pharmaceutiques, mais aussi à la profession et à l’activité pharmaceutique. A côté de la réglementation communautaire UEMOA concernant le médicament vétérinaire, les initiatives d’harmonisation de la réglementation pharmaceutique au sein de l’UEMOA concernant les produits pharmaceutiques à usage humain ont eu un impact significatif dans les pays membres, et sont de nature à favoriser une meilleure protection de la santé publique. En prenant appui sur la documentation disponible, notamment les textes réglementaires applicables au secteur pharmaceutique de l’espace UEMOA, cet article décrit le processus de mise en place de cette réglementation communautaire et sa portée.
Intérêts de l’intégration précoce de soins palliatifs aux soins oncologiques : une revue rapide des écrits

Published: October 2022

Devant le nombre grandissant de personnes diagnostiquées d’un cancer et de décès qui y sont associés, les soins palliatifs gagnent en importance pour améliorer la qualité de vie et soutenir la personne et sa famille durant leurs expériences de santé. Dans ce contexte, l’intégration précoce des soins palliatifs aux soins oncologiques standards semble être une approche sous-utilisée et novatrice qui pourrait répondre aux besoins spécifiques de la clientèle oncologique palliative. Les infirmières en oncologie doivent assumer un rôle crucial en dispensant des soins tout au long de la trajectoire de la maladie, soins palliatifs compris. Le but de cette revue rapide est de synthétiser et présenter les avantages des interventions de soins palliatifs précoces et de décrire leurs caractéristiques. La recherche documentaire sur CINAHL et PubMed a fait ressortir cinq essais randomisés réalisés entre 2010 et 2018, qui ont été analysés. La majorité des études sélectionnées ont conclu que l’intégration précoce des soins palliatifs aux soins oncologiques standards, tels que la chimiothérapie et la radiothérapie, permettrait d’améliorer la qualité de vie, les symptômes anxiodépressifs et la survie globale.

Facteurs facilitant ou contraignant l’utilisation, par les infirmières en pratique clinique d’oncologie, du système de mesure de la charge de travail GRASP pour offrir des soins axés sur les patients
Authors: Cretu Eleonora , Long Anita , Stilos Kalliopi
Published: October 2022

Les administrateurs de centres hospitaliers ont besoin d’obtenir des mesures valides et fiables de la charge de travail pour calculer le nombre d’heures de soins requises pour chaque patient. C’est ce que permet de faire le système de mesure de la charge de travail GRASP. Au Centre des sciences de la santé Sunnybrook, la fréquence et la précision avec laquelle les infirmières remplissent le formulaire GRASP fluctuent et ratent souvent l’objectif établi de 90 %. Cette cible aide l’organisation à estimer la charge de travail habituelle des infirmières et les besoins des patients tout en assurant une prestation de soins qui sont sécuritaires, adaptés et financièrement responsables. L’initiative d’amélioration de la qualité rapportée dans le présent article avait pour but de cerner les facteurs qui favorisent ou compromettent l’utilisation du système GRASP par les infirmières. Le projet d’amélioration de la qualité (AQ) a été réalisé selon une approche à méthodes mixtes auprès d’un échantillon de 28 infirmières travaillant dans des unités de soins aigus et de soins palliatifs en oncologie. Le Cadre des domaines théoriques (CDT), souvent utilisé dans les études de changement de comportement, a servi à concevoir l’enquête par questionnaire et les questions d’entrevue portant sur les facteurs pertinents et mesurables susceptibles de motiver les infirmières à remplir le formulaire GRASP. Certains éléments favorisaient l’utilisation du système GRASP par les infirmières, notamment leur connaissance de son rôle dans les estimations de financement et les niveaux de dotation, leur sentiment de responsabilité professionnelle devant la charge de travail à accomplir et leur perception du GRASP comme possible outil d’organisation du travail des infirmières pendant un quart de travail chargé. Les obstacles nommés par les infirmières comprenaient entre autres le manque de connaissances du système GRASP, l’accès limité aux ordinateurs et postes de travail, le fait que les éléments du système ne rendent pas compte de la complexité du travail infirmier, les contraintes de temps, les soins de plus en plus aigus et complexes. En plus du CDT, la théorie du processus de normalisation (TPN) a aussi guidé l’évaluation et la mise en œuvre des recommandations visant à accroître la conformité aux directives d’utilisation du système GRASP.

Published: October 2022

Contexte : Certaines caractéristiques, notamment l’âge, le niveau de scolarité, la situation économique et le lieu de résidence pendant la prestation des soins, influencent considérablement la qualité de vie (QDV) des proches aidants de patients atteints de cancer dans les pays à revenu élevé. Peu d’études ont été réalisées à cet égard dans les pays à revenu faible ou moyen. Objectif : Étudier les facteurs associés à la QDV chez les proches aidants de patients kényans atteints de cancer. Méthodologie : L’étude, de type corrélationnel, a été menée dans le plus grand hôpital d’enseignement et de recours du Kenya auprès de 164 proches aidants de patients cancéreux. L’échelle de qualité de vie – version familiale (Quality of Life – Family Version) a servi d’instrument de mesure. La collecte de données s’est faite à l’aide de questionnaires administrés en entrevue. Le test t de Student et le test du chi carré de Pearson ont permis de déterminer l’association entre les caractéristiques personnelles et sociales, les caractéristiques de la maladie, et la qualité de vie des proches aidants. Résultats : Le score moyen de QDV des proches aidants était de 55,8 % (ÉT±10,12 %), ce qui est plus faible que dans les autres pays. Conclusion : Il existe une association significative entre la qualité de vie (QDV) des proches aidants et le niveau de scolarité, la relation avec le patient, la capacité des proches aidants à accomplir leurs activités habituelles et leur connaissance des stades du cancer.

The early integration of palliative care into oncology care: A rapid review
Authors: Fadhlaoui Asma , Mrad Hazar , Vinette Billy , Bilodeau Karine
Published: October 2022

With the number of cancer diagnoses and cancer-related deaths on the rise, palliative care is becoming a more important consideration for helping to improve the quality of life of patients and families and the support they receive during their healthcare journey. Accordingly, the early integration of palliative care into standard oncology care would appear to be an underutilized and novel approach that could be used to address the specific needs of palliative oncology patients. Oncology nurses play a central role in this process, delivering care throughout the health continuum, including palliative care. The purpose of this rapid review is to outline the benefits of early palliative care interventions and describe their characteristics. A literature search on CINAHL and PubMed returned five randomized trials conducted between 2010 and 2018. An analysis of these papers showed that the majority of the selected studies concluded that the early integration of palliative care into standard oncology care, which includes such treatments as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, can lead to improvements in quality of life, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and overall survival rate.

ESPIRITISMO E O SÉCULO DAS LUZES
Authors: Barros Brasil Fernandes de
Published: October 2022

Logo no início do século XIX, em meio a uma profusão de ideias e pensamentos revolucionários resultantes do Iluminismo, é que ocorre o nascimento do fundador do Espiritismo o pedagogo francês Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail, o nome civil de Allan Kardec. O objetivo desse artigo é demonstrar a influência do Iluminismo francês e da ciência do século XIX na sua vida e obra, e por consequência, compreender o ambiente em que foi formado o Espiritismo. Este intento será alcançado através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica junto a registros históricos e a própria obra de Kardec. Para alcançar tal objetivo, pretendemos pontuar as influências de pensadores como Franz Anton Mesmer, Augusto Comte, Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, Jean Jacques Rousseau e Francis Bacon nessa religião. Com isso pretendemos demonstrar que apesar do próprio Kardec atribuir sua obra aos espíritos, sua bagagem intelectual foi fundamental na organização do conhecimento que estava segundo seus fiéis sendo oferecido pelos espíritos e o quanto que essa bagagem acadêmica facilitou a sua recepção entre aqueles que o receberam.
O ASSISTENCIALISMO ESPÍRITA

Published: October 2022

O artigo aborda o tema do assistencialismo nas propostas e práticas espíritas. A despeito do esforço realizado por esse grupo religioso para superar as marcas assistencialistas, os argumentos apresentados reforçam a sua manutenção tanto nas concepções quanto nas atividades realizadas. Para demonstrar esse argumento, primeiro, o assistencialismo é abordado teoricamente, para em seguida, recorrer aos documentos da Federação Espírita Brasileira, que estabelecem diretrizes na área assistencial e a duas pesquisas realizadas em Santa Catarina. Com esse conjunto de dados foi possível observar que, no conteúdo e na forma, os trabalhos assistenciais espíritas continuam predominantemente orientados por diretrizes e conceitos religiosos, não se afastando das marcas assistencialistas.
A POSSÍVEL BASE DA TERCEIRA VIA TOMÁSICA E A RELAÇÃO DESSA VIA COM A ETERNIDADE DIVINA

Published: October 2022

Tomás, ao elaborar a sua terceira via, parte da existência dos seres que sofrem a dinâmica da geração e corrupção, isto é, dos seres contingentes; perpassa pelos seres atemporais, ou seja, ilesos à passagem temporal; até obter a asserção da existência do ser necessário por si. Esta última inferência é um dos argumentos usados por Tomás para afirmar que Deus é eterno. Assim, perante tais asserções, primeiramente, será refletida sobre a possibilidade de o tempo ser a base da terceira via tomásica. Em segundo lugar, investigar-se-á sobre uma possível relação da referida prova tomásica com o atributo divino da eternidade.

O artigo trata de acentuar o aspecto político da igreja como contribuição ao atual contexto político-social. Com o retorno da “teologia política” como aporte para se pensar os aspectos teológicos da política no espaço público, torna-se propício revisitar a igreja enquanto manifestação política com incidência social indelével, não obstante todos os problemas que acompanham a Igreja como instituição. Assim, a partir das contribuições de Jürgen Moltmann e Giorgio Agamben, pretendemos partir de dois pressupostos: (i) A igreja está dentro da perspectiva religiosa, ou seja, a igreja é parte de uma religião, a cristã, e, nesse sentido, está envolvida com a dinâmica político-social; (ii) Dentro desse aspecto, a igreja carrega uma espécie de reserva político-escatológica que está na sua gênese, sendo, assim, possível incidir socialmente diante da crise social que atravessamos com suas categorias messiânicas. Desse modo, esperamos dar maior atenção ao aspecto escatológico da igreja e sua relação não futurista com a sociedade.

Authors: Vojinovic Borut , Krizanic France
Published: October 2022

In our paper we present the impact of final consumption change on a product by applying the meaning of the autonomous consumption multiplier. Similar to Leontief and Kahn we introduced the multiplier of autonomous consumption, and with it the concept of the influence of change in final consumption on production in the order of a series of subsequent periods. In our analysis, the Slovenian economic investments in the renovation of Slovenian cultural heritage buildings affect the revenue of the Slovenian economy by a multiplier of 2,945. The impact on value added is 1,236. With one million investments in the renovation of Slovene cultural heritage buildings, the revenue of the Slovene economy will increase by more than 2.9 million euros and value added by 1.2 million euros after the adjustment period. The analysed investments will enable employments of 32 employees and the utilization of 3 million euros in fixed assets.

The massive spread of the COVID-19 outbreak has widely disrupted business activities around the world. In such a context, more manufacturing enterprises have to turn to online sales to restore sales and workforce. However, the actual effects of above relationships are still unknown. The aim of this study is to analyze whether and how online sales affect sales and workforce recovery from COVID-19. Meanwhile, we deeply explore the mediating effect of cash flow adequacy and the moderating effect of firm size. Drawing from a cross-country survey with 2714 manufacturing enterprises during the COVID-19 pandemic and controlling for self-selection bias, we find an inverted U-shaped effect of online sales on sales and workforce recovery. Online sales also exert an inverted U-shaped effect on cash flow adequacy, whereas this effect is weaker for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Furthermore, cash flow adequacy positively facilitates sales and workforce recovery, indicating the role of cash flow adequacy in partially mediating the relationship between online sales and recovery. In addition, we confirm that firm size moderates the indirect effect of online sales on sales and workforce recovery through cash flow adequacy. This study not only expands e-commerce and emergency management research domain and enriches the results of related research, but also provides management implications for the recovery of manufacturing enterprises from the perspective of online sales during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Institutionalizing a Pluralistic Alliance between Economics and Engineering
Authors: Mariotti Sergio
Published: October 2022

Economics and engineering have often intertwined, through the sharing of mathematical modeling tools, analogies and the migration of concepts. These processes have contributed to bridging the epistemological gap between the two disciplines and above all they have fueled a contamination that has allowed the advancement of knowledge. However, this exchange has long entered a phase of diminishing returns and is now not sufficient to respond to the growing complexity that is required of science and its methodologies to interpret the real world, increasingly integrated in all its aspects and influenced by clusters of pervasive innovation and technological progress. This urges the establishment of a new "pluralistic alliance" between the different semi-autonomous branches of the two disciplines, to be realized on a scientific platform, understood as a socio-epistemic space that allows for the meeting between scholars aimed at achieving common or similar scientific goals. The article discusses how to institutionalize this platform and highlights the largely incipient state and difficulties that stand in the way of its legitimacy.

A sustainable neighbourhood is critical in preserving the environment for future generations, as various societies are suffering from increasing reliance on vehicles and low social interaction. This study aims to compare two neighbourhoods in terms of implementing the sustainable neighbourhood criteria. This study is based on eight sustainable neighbourhood evaluation criteria related to design and urban values are: regional issues, compacted form, mixed land-use, connectivity, pedestrian-oriented building, public sphere of the neighbourhood, relationship with transit, and walkability. University District and Jordan Villa Compound newly developed residential neighbourhoods located in Al-Mafraq city in Jordan were chosen as a case study to evaluate the sustainable neighbourhood criteria. The primary and secondary data were obtained from various resources, including; previous studies that related to the topic, site surveys and personal interviews. The results show that The University District is more sustainable and walkable than the Jordan villa compound; due to several reasons as the grid pattern of planning and the high population density. The importance of this study comes from implementing the sustainable neighbourhood evaluation criteria to develop communities to become more sustainable and walkable.
Real-Time Investigation of Temperature Effect on Induction Motor Equivalent Circuit Parameter Change
Authors: Terzioglu Hakan , Agacayak Abdullah Cem
Published: October 2022

Today’s developing technology and increasing demands in production areas continue the importance of studies on induction motors (IMs). To meet the demands, the mathematical modeling of IMs must be performed fully and accurately. Variable conditions cause changes in many electrical, magnetic, and thermal parameters. A change in parameters affects the intensity, efficiency of the operating currents of the machine, thereby changing the motor losses.
In this article, the objective is to determine the changes in the equivalent circuit parameters of three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors (SCIMs) with different powers under the variable conditions (stator winding temperature, load, and motor shaft speed). Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) program read real-time information (temperature, current, voltage, power, shaft speed, and torque) from the experiments and necessary calculations were made. When the test results were examined, a maximum of 9 % change was observed in the motor ECPs (RS, R2, RM, XS, X2, and XM) at different shaft speeds as a result of the change in the stator winding temperature between 100 % and 110 %. At different loads, this rate of change increases to 16 %. This has shown that motor shaft speed and load, together with temperature, have a significant effect on the ECPs.
Blind Source Separation with Multi-Objective Optimization for Denoising
Authors: Celik Husamettin , Karaboga Nurhan
Published: October 2022

Blind Source Separation is an optimization method frequently used in statistical signal processing applications. There are many application areas such as ambient listening, denoising, signal detection, and so on. In this study, a new Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2-based signal separation method is proposed, which combines Multi-Objective Optimization and Blind Source Separation algorithms. The proposed method has been tested for denoising, which is widely used in biomedical signal processing. That is, the Electrocardiogram (ECG) and White Gaussian Noise are mixed together with normally distributed random numbers and the original signals of the mixed signals are obtained again. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method and others (Multi-Objective Blind Source Separation and Independent Component Analysis), the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of the ECG signal obtained from mixed signals has been measured. As a result of the simulation studies, it is seen that the performance of the proposed method is satisfactory.

Published: October 2022

Stevia rebaudiana, a native of South America, is a perennial herb of the Asteraceae family, also known as a natural sweetener due to the presence of steviol glycosides (SGs) in the leaves. China is the largest producer and exporter of stevia, while Japan is the primary consumer. The increasing demand for natural low-calorie sweeteners in the medicine and food industry has increased the pressure over stevia cultivation. Still, its cultivation and region-specific agrotechnologies need to be developed. The major bottleneck in stevia production are the lack of region specific cultivation technologies, non-availability of quality planting material, and uncharacterized and not properly conserved plant genetic resources. All these constraints have limited the stevia production to some specific regions of the world. Development of high-yielding cultivars with enhanced SGs content using modern breeding techniques is of prime importance to meet its increasing demand. Among the glycosides present in the leaves, rebaudioside-A is the most desirable glycosides having 250–300 times sweeter than sucrose, while, after bitter taste is due to the presence of stevioside and dulcoside. Therefore, the development of varieties with high rebaudioside-A and low stevioside content is highly desirable. This chapter focused on the improvement of propagation methods, characterization and conservation of genetic resource in stevia and its utilization in crop improvement programs.
ECMO as Bridge to Heart Transplantation

Published: October 2022

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly employed to support patients affected by refractory cardiogenic shock. When patients cannot be weaned from ECMO because of severe heart dysfunction, heart transplantation (HTx) or implantation of a durable mechanical circulatory support should be considered. Traditionally, the use of ECMO as a direct bridge to HTx was burdened by high mortality. However, during these last years, the widespread employment of ECMO increased centers’ experience in the management of this device, and new allocation policies provided the highest priority level for ECMO HTx candidates. Therefore, these factors could have mitigated the negative outcomes previously reported. The aim of this chapter is to describe the role of ECMO as a direct bridge to HTx, analyzing results of this strategy, and how to determine candidacy and risk stratification among the severely ill population of patients supported by this mechanical circulatory support.
