Published: August 2024

Проведена сравнительная оценка результативности выращивания сахарной свеклы в регионах Черноземья и Приволжья в 2014–2022 гг. Выявлено, что регионы Черноземья продолжают сохранять лидирующие позиции и остаются ведущим экономическим районом, специализирующемся на возделывании сахарной свеклы. В 2022 г. урожайность в Черноземье превышала среднюю по стране и была заметно выше, чем в Приволжье. Несмотря на различие в результативности производства сахарной свеклы, общей тенденцией является спад в 2019–2020 гг., вызванный сокращением ее посевов, урожайности и валовых сборов. Однако он актуализировал реализацию мер по поддержке устойчивого развития свеклосахарного подкомплекса.

A comparative assessment of the effectiveness of sugar beet cultivation in the regions of Black-Earth and Volga regions in 2014–2022 was carried out. It was revealed that the regions of Black-Earth region continue to maintain their leading positions and remain the leading economic region specialized in the cultivation of sugar beet. In 2022, the yield in Black-Earth region exceeded the national average and was noticeably higher than in Volga region. Despite the difference in the efficiency of sugar beet production, the general trend is a decline in 2019–2020 caused by a reduction in its crops, yields and gross yields. However, he updated the implementation of measures to support the sustainable development of sugar-beet industry.

Published: August 2024

Characterization of modified RNA is of importance for both the tracking of biological processes and the design and assessment of therapeutic RNA. However, modified RNA identification and quantification across various RNA lengths poses a considerable challenge for sequencing technologies. Herein, we utilized nanopores to detect short and long modified in vitro transcribed RNAs with template-free, catalyst-free nucleic acid click chemistry. We identified biotinylated uridine-modified short RNAs, which were bound to a DNA nanostructure for subsequent nanopore detection. Additionally, we explored the detection of small click modifications, such as azide groups, by optimizing conditions for template-free and catalyst-free click chemistry. Our experiments demonstrate that high concentrations of monovalent salts are essential for achieving quantitative labeling with cyclooctyne oligonucleotides. Furthermore, we successfully decorated long RNAs with azide-modified uridine and mapped their distribution after click reaction with cyclooctyne-oligonucleotides using nanopores. Our study establishes a robust platform for solid-state nanopore characterization of modified RNAs, paving a way towards single-molecule analysis of therapeutic and labeled naturally occurring RNA modifications.

Authors: BALOGUN Adetoun , Akintayo Dayo
Published: August 2024

The importance of employees to manufacturing industries cannot be overemphasised as they contribute to the industries’  performance and the consequent impact on the nation’s economy. This study, therefore, investigated the contributions of talent management strategies (human resource planning, recruitment and selection, employee development, employee retention, employee health and safety management, and employee performance appraisal)  to employees’ turnover intentions in manufacturing industries in South-West Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. The target population of the study comprised 3,172 staff working in six manufacturing industries in South-West Nigeria. The study made use of stratified and simple random sampling techniques to select  952 respondents. Two research instruments, the Integrated Talent Management Strategies Questionnaire (ITMSQ) and the Employees’ Turnover Intentions Questionnaire (ETIQ), were validated, and their reliability was ascertained. Two research questions were raised, and two hypotheses formulated were analysed with inferential statistics. The findings reveal a low level of employees’ turnout intentions, the adoption at a high rate of all examined talent management strategies, and significantly combined and relative contributions of talent management strategies to employees’ turnout intentions. Recommendations made include organisations’ need to adopt more talent management strategies,  regularly evaluate the effectiveness of integrated talent management practices adopted, and improve retention programmes based on the identified integrated talent management strategies that contribute significantly to turnover employees’ turnout intention.

Published: August 2024

The secure exchange of medical information significantly benefits people's life equality, improving healthcare treatment. The interoperability of the entire healthcare ecosystem is constantly challenging with all the risk security of alternatives when it comes to balancing the alternative ecosystem. However, with the constant development of new blockchain technology, the evolution of the healthcare system is difficult to establish. Disruptions with the biomedical and clinical studies fields have brought about dramatic modifications in healthcare statistics control systems. This leads to a step forward in scientific statistics protection. This ability of blockchain to maintain an incorruptible, decentralized, and obvious log of all affected person statistics makes it a generation rife for protection applications. In this paper, blockchain technology is used for its major gain of being transparent. Since it's far private, concealing the identification of any people with complicated and secure codes, which could shield the sensitivity of scientific statistics, is achieved. The decentralized nature of this generation additionally lets in patients, medical doctors, and healthcare vendors to share equal records fast and safely. Extracting the applicable records from the statistics is feasible with the aid of making use of the KNN machine learning algorithm.

Notational(AND)scapes
Authors:   , Baxter Thomas
Published: August 2024

According to American academic and architectural theorist Bryan Cantley, his speculative architectural drawings are: … trying to break the boundaries of the rules that practitioners are trying to use. So, in a general sense, if we potentially can loosen up the understanding of the ruling systems that are given to us as architects, maybe we can adopt different strategies for how we might negotiate that. I would argue that if we can do that, that will create different types of architectural spaces. (Cantley, “Speculative Dialogues 11 Jan 2023” Interview) Cantley’s drawings re-present architecture as continually transforming spatial, temporal, and contextual conditions. His goal is to prompt architects to reconceive architecture from a new perspective, and in that sense, learn new ways to design new types of architecture. Cantley incorporates issues relating to ‘dualism’, to provoke opposing forces to be readdressed in new ways. He incorporates strategically situated ‘architectural notation devices’ to imply three-dimensional architectural volumes that are undergoing temporal and spatial transformations. These notation devices—familiar to practicing architects—are applied in unexpected ways to prompt new ways of conceiving architecture. Cantley incorporates notions of ‘liminality’ as a device from which he can explore the technological, perceptual, spatial, and temporal possibilities of architecture. To test Bryan Cantley’s theoretical proposition, this design-led thesis investigation looks to reinterpret Cantley’s two-dimensional drawing Camera Noxoculo: The manifest of the Sanctum(etrics)—which represents multiple spatial and temporal conditions occurring simultaneously—as a three-dimensional work of architecture sited within a dynamic temporal field. The aim of this thesis investigation is to examine how Cantley’s application of his three principal speculative devices—liminality, architectural notation devices, and dualism—can be re-applied to digitally re-create Cantley’s two-dimensional speculative drawing Camera Noxoculo as a three-dimensional speculative outcome. This thesis asks: How can Bryan Cantley’s speculative architectural drawing Camera Noxoculo be used as a prompt by an architectural designer to arrive at “different strategies for how we might negotiate … different types of architectural spaces”?

Due to the rapidly growing antibiotic resistance of microorganisms and the increasing prevalence of viral diseases, special attention is paid to the creation of new effective drugs. Nanosilver preparations have long been studied and used as antimicrobial and antiviral agents. Antiviral agents with virocidal activity act directly on viral particles destroying viral membranes upon contact or by binding to viral capsid proteins. The biological activity of silver preparations in the form of nanoparticles (Argovit) and organic molecules (Argosil) was studied on an organismal model of Newcastle disease infection in laboratory animals. ICR mice (weight 15–23 g, water consumption 6–7 ml/animal, age 2 months) were used in the experiment. To model the development of infection caused by the Newcastle disease pathogen, mice were infected with Newcastle disease virus with the La Sota strain vaccine. The vaccine was administered once intranasally individually at a dose of 20 μl/animal (20 doses). To determine the biological activity of the drugs, histological studies were used using standard methods, as well as analysis of changes in viral load using real-time RT-PCR in ICR mice infected with Newcastle virus. The absence of genomic RNA of the Newcastle disease virus was found in the lungs of the animals treated with Argosil and Argovit-Maxi. There were less pronounced inflammatory changes in the lung tissues in mice of the experimental groups, compared to animals in the control group. The use of virocidal agents based on nano- and organic silver in the period preceding the formation of postvaccinal immunity in terms of pharmacoprophylaxis of Newcastle disease seems promising.

Authors: Monika  , Meena Ramesh Chand
Published: August 2024

This paper discusses the artistic and aesthetic genius of the poet Rupert Brooke and the painter Paul Nash in their respective areas. Rupert Brooke is acclaimed as one of the finest representative war poets of the time. During the modern writings of fragmented, free, dense and long verses Brooke adapted the sonnet to share war experiences. These sonnets by Brooke have been placed among the supreme expressions of English patriotism and the few notable poems produced by the Great War. His best five war sonnets (1914) are entitled– ‘Peace’, ‘Safety’, ‘The Dead', 'The Dead' and ‘The Soldier’.Paul Nash was a British surrealist painter and war artist, photographer and writer. In 1917 he was officially announced as a war artist. Nash found his inspiration in landscape from the elements of ancient history. His artworks during the Great War are considered the most iconic images of conflict. Nash’s works are often believed to be influenced by the Vorticist movement. The medium he used were water colour, ink and chalk, etc. His notable works are- ‘We are Making a New World’ (1918), ‘The Menin Road’ (1918), ‘Spring in the Trenches’ (1918), ‘Wire’ (1919), etc. How successfully has their artistic vision made people able to understand the need of the future world? The Relevance of these artistic and literary pieces for today’s human race, etc. will be the focal points of discussion. The paper will be prepared with a comparative and analytical study of the subject matter.
Eksistensi Tradisi Lisan Rejung, Guritan dan Tadut pada Masyarakat Pasemah Bengkulu
Authors: Syaputra Een , Mentari Gaya
Published: August 2024

Rejung, guritan, and tadut are three types of oral traditions of the Pasemah people which in the past played an important role in social and religious life. However, due to various factors, the existence of this oral tradition is currently experiencing a decline, even threatened with extinction. This research aims to conduct an initial study of the existence of the rejung, guritan, and tadut oral traditions in the Pasemah Bengkulu community. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection was carried out using in-depth interview techniques, observation, and documentation and analyzed using the Milles & Huberman interactive model. The results of the research are: 1) the Rejung oral tradition can still be found in every region of the Pasemah community, although in number it has decreased. Currently, the Rejung tradition is no longer routinely carried out at weddings, but is often displayed at official government events and is disseminated through various social media; 2) The oral tradition of Guritan in Pasemah Bengkulu is no longer displayed when there is a death disaster because it has been replaced by religious lectures. Meanwhile, speakers are very difficult to find (only 3-5 people). Guritan poetry is very difficult to inherit/learn because it is very long and has complicated patterns; 3) the oral tradition of tadut has also not been played for a long time when there is a death disaster, namely since the increasing popularity of religious lectures or tabligh calamity events. Currently, followers can still be found in several areas such as Kedurang, Padang Guci, and Kinal, but their numbers are very small.

Context: Immunization is essential for preventing both acute and long-term infectious illnesses. The decision-makers for children’s vaccinations in the future are adolescents. Because vaccinations decrease morbidity and mortality for both the vaccinated individual and their family throughout life, it is imperative that teenagers be educated about the dangers associated with vaccine-preventable diseases and the safety of vaccinations. Aim: To assess student’s knowledge about routine immunization among rural high school children in Sathnur village, Kanakpura Taluk. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted using the convenience sampling technique. Methodology: The data was collected using a pre validated questionnaire to assess the knowledge and perception of risk responses from the participants. Sociodemographic details were also included in the questionnaire, and it was administered on the same day before and after delivering an education session. Students were asked to respond to questions where 1 indicates disagree, 2 indicates neutral, and 3 indicates agree. Statistical analysis: Descriptive and analytical statistics were done. McNemar and Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed to test for differences between pre- and post responses. Results: A statistically significant association was noted (p value <0.005) about immunizations and the diseases they prevent with an increase in the score. Students’ perception of vaccine safety also improved after the intervention (P <0.01). Conclusions: There was an increased confidence in students in having an opinion about vaccine preventable diseases and immunization following the intervention.
Enhancement of throat microphone speech using Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD)
Authors: Indraneel Misra  , Md. Easir Arafat
Published: August 2024

This paper presents a novel approach for enhancing the quality of throat microphone (TM) speech using Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). TM speech is known for its robustness in noisy environments but often suffers from poor intelligibility and unnatural sound due to the absence of high-frequency components. To address this issue, we propose using EMD to decompose the TM speech signal into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and selectively enhance components that contribute to improved speech clarity. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) scores, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), comparison of Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) spectra and Spectrogram analysis. Results demonstrate significant improvements in speech quality, making the approach a promising solution for applications requiring reliable communication in adverse conditions.

This study explores the relationship between educational opportunities and schooling purposes, focusing on self-development through philosophical and sociological perspectives. Philosophically, education is seen as a means for personal growth, encouraging critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and creativity. Sociologically, education serves as a powerful tool for social mobility, providing opportunities for individuals to improve their socio-economic status and challenge social inequalities. This study argues that schools are not only aimed at academic achievement but are also important for shaping well-balanced individuals who can contribute meaningfully to society. Ensuring equal educational opportunities is essential for both individual self-development and the advancement of the wider society.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called prostate enlargement, is a noncancerous increase in size of the prostate gland while prostate cancer (PCa) is malignant tumor of the prostate, the gland that produces some of the components of semen. Urine N-acetyl–β-D-glucosaminidase (uNAG), urine creatinine (uCr), serum creatinine (sCr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and ratio of uNAG to uCr (uNAG/uCr) in BPH/PCa were assessed with height, weight and BMI. This cross-sectional study recruited 120 men using convenient sampling technique which comprised 40 BPH, 40 PCa and 40 apparently healthy age matched control individuals attending urology clinic of NAUTH, Nnewi, Anambra State. Five (5) milliliters of blood/ urine samples were collected from the patients and the necessary data were obtained from clinical records of the patients. The weight (kg) and height (m) were measured using standard beam balance scale and a stadiometer respectively and the BMI calculated. uNAG (u/l) was estimated by enzyme immunoassay technique, creatinine was determined spectrophotometrically using Jaffe slot alkaline picrate method while eGFR was calculated using an online calculator for the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula for Adults. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 21.0. The results were presented as median. Kruskal Wallis was used to determine significant differences between the mean values. The results showed significantly higher median values of uNAG and uNAG/uCr in patients with BPH/PCa when compared with the control. Despite the significant increase in uNAG and uNAG/uCr in this study, serum creatinine, urine creatinine and eGFR remained normal. The increase in uNAG in patients with BPH/PCa is an indication of early renal impairment.

The number of people in Indonesia is mostly Muslim and has a population of 86.7% in Indonesia. Seeing this, it can be one of the steps to alleviate poverty in Indonesia through the development of economic empowerment where the development of economic empowerment can be carried out through mosques because there are 660 thousand mosques in Indonesia. So the purpose of this study is to analyse the economic empowerment that can be carried out by the Mosque through management or social financial institutions to overcome poverty in Indonesia. Qualitative research method with literature study technique used in this research. The result of this research is that the function of mosques in Indonesia is still used only for worship, so that the funds collected to the mosque manager are only used for mosque operational activities. However, some mosques have implemented economic empowerment development programmes, the concept of which is mostly to provide training to the community so that they are ready to work and provide funding for people who already have businesses. Finally, the importance of the government's role in order to maximise economic empowerment through mosques in Indonesia is needed so that there is a common point of view in managing mosque funds for community economic empowerment. Mosque administrators must also begin to change their point of view regarding the management of funds in the mosque not only for mosque operations, but can also be developed for community economic empowerment.

Olahan ikan merupakan salah satu mata pencaharian warga di Kenjeran Surabaya. Ikan asap merupakan hasil olahan ikan yang paling banyak dijual di Kenjeran dan paling banyak diminati oleh warga Surabaya. Namun para penjual ikan asap juga selalu memiliki banyak kendala yang bisa menurunkan omset penjualan. Dalam hal penurunan, biasanya disebabkan oleh penjualan yang kurang maksimal karena sistem penjualannya masih menggunakan sistem lama. Oleh karena itu pada Tugas Akhir ini dirancanglah sebuah Rancang Bangun Sistem Penjualan Olahan Ikan Asap. Metodologi yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah studi kasus pada beberapa penjual olahan ikan di Kenjeran Surabaya Jawa Timur. Studi kasus dilaksakanakan dengan mewawancarai penjual dan memberikan kuisoner pada beberapa pedagang yang berjualan di Kenjeran, Surabaya. Pada tempat tersebut penjualan masih menggunakan sistem lama yakni menggunakan sistem offline atau pembeli datang ke tempat penjualan ikan tersebut serta perekapan barang masuk dan keluar masih dicatat dengan manual. Hasil yang diharapkan dalam sistem ini yaitu menghadirkan layanan informasi ikan asap dan penawaran menarik dari penjual untuk pelanggan. Hal ini memudahkan para penjual dalam hal merekap data penjualan tanpa harus menulis dengan cara manual dan para penjual bisa mengupload dagangannya pada website tersebut.Kata KunciÂ : Sistem Informasi, PHP, MySQL, UML
