El objetivo fue mejorar la eficiencia reproductiva a través de una eficiente alimentación, potencializada con protocolos hormonales que acorten el tiempo al primer estro fértil en los sistemas de producción bovina del trópico de México. Se utilizaron 13 vacas multíparas Holstein x Cebú y Suizo Pardo x Cebú, las cuales ingresaron al estudio 21 días antes del parto y fueron alojadas en corrales individuales hasta los 112 días posparto. Desde el período preparto, a todas las vacas se les ofreció una cantidad fija de concentrado (T1= 5 kg y T2 = 3.5 kg) con 16% de PC y 70% de TND y pasto de diferentes variedades de Pennisetum purpureum a libertad. A partir del parto, las vacas se ordeñaron manualmente, una vez al día, con el apoyo del becerro. Ocho horas después del ordeño, los becerros se amamantaron a libertad y se separaron de su madre hasta el día siguiente. Se estimó el consumo voluntario (CV) diario por diferencia de alimento ofrecido menos rechazado. El diseño experimental aplicado fue un completamente al azar. La variable dependiente fue consumo de materia seca (MS). Se utilizó tratamiento (T) como efecto fijo. Días posparto (DPP), calificación de condición corporal (CC), y tasa de concepción se consideraron como variables dependientes y se analizaron con el procedimiento GLM del programa SAS. Para el análisis de tasa de concepción por tratamientos se hizo una prueba de Ji Cuadrada. El rechazo de forraje fue mayor (P≤ 0.05) en las vacas del T2; esto se debe a que un mayor contenido de fibra limita un mayor consumo. El consumo de MS mostrado durante el período de transición confirmó que, después del día 60 posparto, aumenta el CV de forraje. El uso de Inseminación Artificial a Tiempo Fijo (IATF) permitió servir a las vacas durante el periodo de espera voluntario, independientemente del estado de ciclicidad en que se encontraban, aumentando la tasa de servicios. Las vacas del T1 tuvieron una mayor tasa de gestación (P<0.05). Una vez maximizado el consumo voluntario de la dieta, manteniendo una condición corporal de 3, se puede mejorar la eficiencia del comportamiento reproductivo de vacas en el trópico húmedo.

Published: April 2024

As mudanças nos hábitos alimentares, questões éticas, religiosas e de sustentabilidade tem contribuído com o crescimento do interesse em alimentos à base de plantas alternativas à carne. Esse trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver um alimento vegetal análogo à carne, obtido do mesocarpo da jaca verde, e avaliar suas características físico-química e sensorial. O mesocarpo da jaca foi obtido pelo cozimento da jaca verde, a qual foi utilizado como base para produção de 4 formulações de análogos a carne com diferentes proporções de condimentos e especiarias, que foram avaliados quanto a aceitação sensorial por meio de escala hedônica estruturada para os parâmetros cor, sabor, aroma, aparência e intenção de compra. Os resultados demonstraram que o mesocarpo cozido da jaca verde apresenta características favoráveis ao armazenamento. Na análise sensorial não houve largas diferenças entre as formulações, no entanto as formulações 1 e 4 que apresentavam condimentos que estão no cotidiano receberam melhores notas. O público que o mesocarpo de jaca verde cozido atinge é vasto e diversificado pois tal produto serve para complemento e não como principal fonte nutricional. O acesso a um vasto cardápio ainda está em construção, devido à dificuldade de acesso que a perecibilidade do produto apresenta.

Published: April 2024

Microencapsulating vitamin C with dietary fibers and prebiotics can improve the storage, preservation, and marketing of vitamin C supplements. This research aimed to explore the feasibility of creating microcapsules using vitamin C, pectin, and alginate through a microencapsulation technique. Pectin was extracted from lemon peel using an acid treatment and then characterised. The morphology of the vitamin C-pectin-alginate microcapsules was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Time, temperature, and pH-dependent vitamin C release profiles of the vitamin C-pectin-alginate microcapsules were studied. The rate of release of vitamin C increased towards pH values close to 7.0, with a higher rate of 83.97% observed at pH 7.0. Additionally, temperature affected the release of vitamin C from the microcapsules, with approximately 47.2% release at body temperature (37°C) and a higher fluctuation in vitamin C release was observed at 20°C. This study revealed that pectin extracted from lemon peels can be used with alginate to encapsulate vitamin C.

Authors: Syihabuddin Muhammad , Hady M. Samsul
Published: April 2024

Discourse on Islamic law is very important to be studied in more depth. This is because the study never ceases to be debated. In addition, Islamic law is required to continue to evolve and adjust to the times. The purpose of this paper is to understand 3 things: First, at a glance, an-Naim's thoughts related to Islamic law (sharia). Second, the methodology used in reformulating Sharia. The third is the idea of the future of inclusive Islamic law that spans the space and dynamics of the social development of society. The data were collected using a literature research model, a text-text approach in the form of books and articles. Then it was analyzed using data examination, classification, analysis, and followed by verification. The results found in the form of: 1) Sharia in an-Naim's view is not only fixated on the text of the Qur'an and Sunnah, but more than that it needs to be reinterpreted by looking at the context and reality that occurs today. 2) The methodology used by an-Naim is naskh-mansukh, by removing verses but not permanently (delaying the application of irrelevant verses). 3) The idea of an inclusive future for Islamic law is to provide space for every human being, the concept of equality in the realm of religion, ethnicity, race, and so on. This includes the renewal of criminal law, human rights, and international relations. The result that can be concluded is that Islamic law is acceptable to every community to be a role model that reflects progress and harmony with human life that has an impact on the benefit both in the Islamic world and internationally.

Authors: Iskandar Freya Nazera , Suwondo Ari , Santoso Bedjo
Published: April 2024

Background: Premature babies are susceptible to a variety of health problems in early of their lives, thus, management of premature care should be designed to optimize the growth and development, with no more cost extension. The management of premature care by non-pharmacological treatments becomes popular nowadays, and applied in the hospital unit care, including the Tactile-Kinesthetic Stimulation (TKS) and Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC).Aims: This study is to present the effect of Tactile-Kinesthetic Stimulation (TKS) on weight gain and reduction length of stay care for premature babies, and to compare the results with the standard Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) given at the hospital care unit.Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest with a control group. A total of 32 premature babies was equally divided to a control group given a standard KMC procedure and an intervention group receiving the TKS. Sampling was done using a consecutive sampling method where the low birth weight infants were selected from two public hospitals in Semarang of Indonesia, with consent from the parents. Data was then analyzed by a repeated measure ANOVA, general linear model and Mann-Whitney test to find the significant mean difference at p value less than 0.05.Results: The data shows that the babies' weight significantly increased day by day only if the premature neonates received Tactile Kinesthetic Stimulation, gained 148.75 gram only 3 days after the initial measurement. However, from this study we noted that the premature babies' weight at the control group provided only with Kangaroo Mother Care slightly decreased at 35.69 gram at the third day of observation. In average, premature babies receiving TKS need only 3 days before return home, while if receiving the standard KMC the preterm babies required 5 days in the hospital care.Conclusion: Not only effective to gain the weight, giving Tactile-Kinesthetic Stimulation to the low birth weight baby shorter the length of stay in the hospital unit care. It suggests that the TKS intervention will provide good result in maintaining the weight of the low birth weight baby and will reduce the costs of staying in the hospital unit care.

Published: April 2024

Background: Diabetic ulcer is an open wound on the skin layer to the dermis due to hyperglycemia and neuropathy. This condition often causes infection and becomes an inhibitor in the wound healing process. Red fruit oil soap can be used as an alternative cleansing to reduce the number of bacterial colonies and accelerate the wound healing process. This present study aimed to observe the effect of red fruit oil soap in the cleansing process to reduce the number of bacterial colonies and the wound healing process in grade II Diabetic ulcer patientsMethods: This is a quasi-experimental study with the pre-test post-test non-equivalent control group design. Wound cleansing in the intervention group used 0.9% NaCl solution and red fruit oil soap with a pH of 5.74, while the wound cleansing in the control group used 0.9% NaCl solution. Bacterial colonies were assessed and the type of bacteria was observed by the swab method. The wound healing was assessed with Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) instrument for 14 days with observations every 3 days. Analysis test used Mann Whitney and Repeated Measure ANOVA.Results: There was no difference in the mean of the number of bacterial colonies between the wounds that were cleansed with 0.9% NaCl solution and red fruit oil soap and the wounds which were cleansed by using 0.9% NaCl solution (p> 0.05). The mean of the number of colonies in the intervention group until the 14th day reduced by 3.14x106 and in the control group was reduced h 1.40x106. There was a significant decrease in the wound healing scores in each group, in each assessment for 14 days.Conclusion: This study found that the wound cleansing using red fruit oil soap and 0.9% NaCl solution could reduce the number of bacterial colonies on the wound surface and accelerate the wound healing process among patients with grade II diabetic ulcer.

Critics on Policy of Soy-Based Infant Formula in Indonesia: Compared to Australian and New Zealand Food Standards
Authors: Sera Agnescia Clarissa
Published: April 2024

Background: World Health Organization (WHO) recommends breast milk as sole and the most complete infant food during the first 6 months. However, in certain circumstances, when breastfeeding is not possible, not desired or not advised, infant formulas like those are made of soy can be given to newborns. However, the safety of long-term use soy-based formula has been argued due to the possible adverse effects of phytoestrogen, phytates and aluminum in human body as well as the consequences of agrochemicals residue. Therefore, those problems should be taken into account while developing, reviewing or amending policy of infant formulas. This article reviews the adequacy of soy-based infant formula policy in Indonesia to anticipate issues in SIF consumption.
Methods: Australian and New Zealand Food Standards Code was used to compared to the decree of Indonesian NADFC. The results were described narratively and analyzed from the perspective of the author.
Results: Accordingly, only small aspects of SIF are regulated in Indonesian policy. The use of SPI for SIF in Indonesia is not a compulsory though scientifically another source may trigger diarrhea in newborn baby. No clause related to aluminum content, zinc to copper ratio, isoflavone level, GM soy and pesticide residue found in Indonesian policy.
Conclusion: Apparently, very limited provision regarding SIF has been covered by Indonesian policy. The regulation of SIF marketed and manufactured in Indonesia should be more specific and developed based on recent clinical and epidemiological studies. On the other hand, Indonesia needs a comprehensive system where society may participate in reviewing the laws.

Forced migration, voluntary return, and reshaped safety of the Ukrainian population after the full scale Russian invasion
Authors: Maidanik Iryna
Published: April 2024

The full-scale Russian aggression has brought about a significant shift in Ukraine's migration landscape. A massive outflow through the western Ukrainian border began following the onset of the full scale war. To comprehensively understand and effectively manage the scale and key characteristics of migration under these wartime conditions, this article aims to investigate the forced migration of Ukrainians abroad and their subsequent return. It seeks to uncover the primary drivers influencing the outflow and return movement after the full-scale invasion. The research employs a range of scientific methods, including scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, as well as systemic and structural approaches, along with document analysis and statistical observations. The number of Ukrainians who fled the country due to full-scale Russian aggression is a subject of varying estimates. There is an urgent need for clarification in this area. Relocation decisions were among the most crucial choices made by the Ukrainian population following the full-scale Russian invasion. The safety-related situation plays a pivotal role in shaping intentions to leave hazardous areas, but additional factors, such as financial and logistical considerations, also influence these decisions. The war has introduced a relativistic safety paradigm, and the end of the war does not necessarily equate to safety in the current perspective of Ukrainians. The constructed concept of safety has become apparent through regional security considerations, marking a shift from absolute safety standards toward relative ones.

Authors: Cotelnic Valentina
Published: April 2024

The article's main focus is on the analysis of ensuring the application of labor legislation, safety, and health at work in the Republic of Moldova. The Constitution guarantees the right to work and the protection of work for every person in the country. The legislation developed in the field of health and labor protection ensures the preservation of the basic principles of European directives. The article's main objective is to evaluate the socioeconomic losses related to work accidents, which is a significant problem in the Republic of Moldova. The analysis reveals major problems that need to be solved by reforming the State Labor Inspectorate urgently. This would lead to an increase in the efficiency of labor inspections, both at the legislative and institutional level, by carrying out unannounced controls that will allow the direct application of sanctions for some cases of non-compliance with the legislation and point out possible solutions. Employers can prevent accidents at work by establishing a safety management system that includes risk assessment procedures.

Explorarea impactului migrației internaționale și interne asupra distribuției regionale a populației
Authors: Tabac Tatiana
Published: April 2024

This paper examines how internal and external migration bring about changes in the population structure of various regions in Moldova. In conjunction with the increasing international migration flows, there have also been shifts in the spatial distribution of the population across regions. While population migration from small urban centers to large urban centers and foreign countries has risen, we also observe the movement of rural populations to small and medium-sized cities. Using revised population data for Moldova and information on internal and international migration, we estimated net migration rates for each distinct region of Moldova, categorized by sex, age, and residence. The research findings reveal that the population of Moldova decreased by -274.2 thousand people, or - 9,6%, between 2014 and 2021. International migration is more prevalent in the Central and Southern regions and among populations aged 0-19 and 20-59. Internal migration plays a crucial role in maintaining the population of the capital and other significant municipalities. The population in central districts experiences a smaller decline due to more intense internal migration, whereas the population in the South decreases because of both high internal and international migration. The study was conducted as part of the Project (2020-2023) 20.80009.0807.21 „Migration, demographic changes, and situation stabilization policies”.
Infertilitatea cuplurilor din perspectiva politicii demografice
Authors: Chistruga-Sinchevici Inga
Published: April 2024

Measures aimed at including medically assisted reproductive technologies in population and family policy have been a distinctive trend over the last two decades. The aim of the study is to assess the role of state policies in supporting infertile couples, based on an analysis of the legal framework with reference to reproductive health and the protection of the institution of the family. According to data from the Generations and Gender Study, about 11% of couples of reproductive ages in the Republic of Moldova face the problem of the inability to conceive a child. The experience of infertility affects the couple through feelings of guilt and shame, situations of disapproval from others, and implications for family stability and well-being. Legislation states that people in the Republic of Moldova have the right to infertility treatment, including the use of medically assisted reproductive technologies, the most commonly used being in vitro fertilization. In reality, there are a number of obstacles for couples who wish to conceive a child using medically assisted reproductive technologies: the high cost of services (in vitro fertilization is currently carried out only privately); territorial inaccessibility due to the concentration of all medical institutions providing medically assisted reproductive services in Chisinau; religious resistance and other ethical issues. The article concludes with examples of European practices and recommendations for improving policies to support infertile couples in Moldova.

However, there are also many opportunities in promoting the sustainable management of construction waste. The circular economy offers the opportunity to turn waste into valuable resources through recycling, reuse and reuse. To fully exploit these opportunities, collaboration between the public and private sectors is required, as well as the development of coherent policies and regulations for the management of construction waste. In conclusion, the sustainable management of construction waste represents both a challenge and an opportunity in promoting the circular economy. By adopting effective strategies and policies, implementing innovative technologies and involving all stakeholders, we can help reduce the impact of construction waste on the environment and build a more sustainable future.

Published: April 2024

The collaborative economy is a socio-economic model based on the concept of the joint use of physical and human resources, which provides for the creation, production, distribution, trade and consumption of goods and services by individuals and organizations, jointly. It is known by a wide variety of names: access economy, crowd-based capitalism, collaborative economy, community- based economy, gig economy, peer economy, peer-to-peer economy, platform economy, renting economy and on-demand economy. The purpose of this article is to highlight the global trends in the field of sharing economy. In order to perfect this publication, the opinions of experts in the field addressed from different countries were examined. Sharing economy has a number of positive aspects, as well as certain shortcomings. During the economic and ecological crisis, the development of the sharing economy presents itself as one of the effective solutions. The global sharing economy market in the year 2022 was about 150 billion USD. The forecast is to reach USD 335 billion in 2025 and USD 794 billion by 2028. Today we can talk about the following areas of the sharing economy: collaborative consumption, open knowledge, joint production, joint financing. The development of the sharing economy is linked to the digitization process. The implementation of the sharing economy in the Republic of Moldova can have beneficial effects, but it requires legislative, administrative, economic and educational efforts.
Some directions of action in external debt management meant to minimize the risks of a debt crisis in Romania
Authors: Milea Camelia
Published: April 2024

Considering the almost continuous increase in Romania's external debt after 2006, as well as the discontinuous rise in the share of short-term external debt in the total external debt starting from 2010, the author aims to highlight the most important risks that can affect the external debt, as well as some measures aimed at minimizing the risks of a debt crisis in Romania. In the article, it is shown that price fluctuation (namely, exchange rate and interest rate) is the most important risk for external debt management. Next, there are presented the factors influencing the price risk, and the ability to pay the external debt service. Also, there are suggested some measures meant to improve the evolution of these factors, as well as some directions of action to minimize the risks of a debt crisis in Romania. They include supporting the growth of exports with elevated added value and a high degree of processing, reducing the share of short-term external debt in the total external debt, correlating the currencies in which exports are sold and of foreign exchange reserves with the currencies in which external debt is contracted, tempering the rate of growth of the external debt, especially of the short-term debt. The methodology used consists of comparative and descriptive analyses, empirical analysis, drawing of conclusions and literature review. The article is based on the research project " Romania's external indebtedness in current and perspective conditions ", elaborated in CFMR "Victor Slăvescu" in 2022, under the coordination of Camelia Milea, Ph.D.
The transition towards a sustainable economy
Authors: Chitiga Georgiana
Published: April 2024

The paper aims to analyze the need to transform the global economy into an economy with low CO2 emissions, a "decarbonized" economy, an economy with low climate risk, finally becoming a sustainable economy. The transformation of the economy will extend over a long time horizon and, as a result of the limits and resistance factors of the current economic system, it will not take place quickly, essential transformations being necessary in all areas of activity, but also in the way of thinking, the lifestyle, education, health and political organization. The recent global economic crisis, the registration of the continuous and irreversible damage to the environment, with negative effects, including on human subjects, have demonstrated the capacity and reduced reaction limits of the economic system to the environmental instabilities. Analyis performed proves that treating and studying the governance of sustainable development is particularly complex. Determining the choice of appropriate public policies is all the more obvious as the sectoral dimension used in public administration mainly needs to be changed, giving way to integrated and horizontally coordinated approaches. Also, the increase in the degree of globalization and integration entails a vertical integration of public policies that will have to include converging objectives of sustainable development. There is a need for a policy focused on a functional productive industry, with jobs in Europe, a policy beneficial for European society; the products, their applications, but also the employees, represent the foundation of a prosperous European society, energy efficient, with low carbon emissions.
Impact and vulnerabilities of climate change in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Popa Viorica
Published: April 2024

Climate change has become a threat to sustainable development for all developing countries, and measures to mitigate and adapt to this phenomenon must become a priority in national policies. Therefore, the Republic of Moldova is directly affected by Climate Change, being more vulnerable to adverse effects. As a result, Climate Change presents a serious danger for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, which the Republic of Moldova has assumed. At the same time, Climate Change can generate opportunities for the transformation of the economy, providing greater sustainability and thus paving the way to reducing poverty and achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Excessive consumption of natural resources of the growth generation emissions of greenhouse gases, causing in the last century the warming of the Earth and the disruption, finally, of the global climate system. These problems put the scientific community in front of the dilemma of finding the compromise between economic development and its effects on climate change. Finding this compromise will mean the sustainable development of mankind. Studies show that the impact of global warming is directly proportional to the standard of living of the population, and it affects the inhabitants of poor countries the most, which, in fact, have polluted the least. The problem of Climate Change can only be solved with synergistic efforts of all the states of the world, that is why the Framework Convention of the United Nations Organization on Climate Change (CONUSC) was created. This study was developed within the State Program 20.80009.0807.22 "Development of the mechanism for formation of the circular economy in the Republic of Moldova” funded from the state budget through the National Agency for Research and Development of the Republic of Moldova.
Examining Canada's role in critical minerals global competition: a case study on nickel and rare earth elements
Authors: Bulin Daniel
Published: April 2024

With the significant increase in global demand for critical metals, including nickel and rare earths, competition in the market for these resources has become increasingly intense. Canada, a country rich in natural resources, plays a crucial role in this global competition and has a well-defined critical minerals strategy. This article proposes an analysis of Canada's strategy and its role in global competition, focusing on two critical minerals: nickel and rare earths. The research methodology is based on two case studies that follow several key aspects: the benefits of the critical resource, Canada's production and resources, and at the global level, trade exchanges, existing projects, market risks, and production chains. The study shows that Canada plays an important role in the global competition for critical metals - nickel and rare earths - primarily through the prism of its resources and recently launched national strategy. The critical minerals strategy aims to strengthen this position and carefully manage market risks, despite significant challenges such as price volatility, China's position and related dependencies.
Procesul de valorificare a surselor de energie regenerabile în Republica Moldova

Published: April 2024

Renewable energy sources are one of the most challenging ways in which almost half of the target set and agreed in the Paris Agreement on climate change can be achieved, with the aim of reducing resource consumption, optimizing costs and ensuring a more sustainable future. bright and more energy-safe. The Republic of Moldova faces numerous energy challenges, including dependence on energy imports and a growing demand for energy to fuel economic growth. Imported fossil fuels already account for over two-thirds of primary energy supplies, making the country vulnerable to rising fuel costs and the risks of supply disruptions. On the other hand, the Republic of Moldova has a major renewable energy potential, which, until now, has remained almost unexploited. With the increasing cost competitiveness of renewable energy policymakers have increasingly recognized renewable energy as an important means to address these energy challenges and achieve a sustainable future. The objective of the study is to analyze the process of valorization of renewable energy sources in the Republic of Moldova as well as the intelligent solutions adapted to the conditions of the national economy. The hypothesis is formulated starting from the results presented in the literature analysis section and consists in the fact that one of the basic rules of the energy efficiency transition is the exploitation of renewable energy sources in new resources for other industries. This study was developed within the State Program 20.80009.0807.22 "Development of the mechanism for formation of the circular economy in the Republic of Moldova” funded from the state budget through the National Agency for Research and Development of the Republic of Moldova.
Calculation models of net risk premiums for RCA insurance contracts
Authors: Nastase Adriana
Published: April 2024

Starting from the fundamental role of insurance, that of providing protection by the insurer to the person interested in concluding an insurance contract (the insured) in exchange for the insurance premium (insurance price), advanced mathematical models have been developed for the appropriate determination of the insurance price. In Romania, RCA insurance is one of the most regulated insurances due to the importance it occupies from the point of view of the volume of gross premiums subscribed. In the total of gross premiums written in Romania, both general and life insurance, RCA insurance holds on average in the period 2014-2022 approximately 47.5%, hence the motivation for this research topic in order to establish the most appropriate premium for the insured RCA portfolio. In the case of non-life insurance, the estimation of the pure insurance premium is carried out with the help of generalized linear models (GLM). The segmentation of the insured portfolio into homogeneous risk classes is more than necessary for choosing the optimal explanatory variables, which reproduce the behavior of the response variable as accurately as possible.
