One of the main problems of the northern delivery remains the reliability of the transport accessibility of its provision. The Northern Sea Route is one of the most promising directions for ensuring the northern delivery of goods to the territory of the Arctic and the Far East. The significance of the Northern Sea Route lies in its ability to provide a shorter and more cost-efficient way to transport goods compared to the traditional sea routes. At the same time, an important factor is the reduction of time and costs for transporting goods to the remote regions, which contributes to improving the economic availability of food and increasing food safety. Nevertheless, at present a number of the problems are available, which are associated with the use of the Northern Sea Route for the northern delivery of goods. One of them is the availability of the required capacities to ensure transportation. Forecasting the required number of supply vessels to ensure the reliability of the northern delivery contributes to the development of solutions aimed at ensuring food and food safety in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation and the Far East. The results of a study are presented concerning the existing base of vessels that provide northern delivery, as well as objective factors that complicate the process of carrying out this set of measures. It is proposed to solve the problem of ensuring economic and food safety by building the required fleet to compensate for departing ships and increasing the volume of traffic that could be sent along the Northern Sea Route. Thus, the availability of a fleet for the northern delivery using the waters of the Northern Sea Route is directly related to the availability of the corresponding fleet of the Russian Federation as a whole. An assessment was made of the need for vessels to carry out the northern delivery, a forecast was made and the volume of demand for supply vessels until 2030 was identified.

Changes in the legislation in the field of industrial safety, as well as the experience of declaring industrial safety, developing safety cases for hazardous production facilities and other work related to risk analysis (assessment), required introduction of changes to the set of Rostechnadzor safety guidelines, most of which were developed in the period of 2013–2018. For this purpose, in agreement with Rosteсhnadzor, the specialists from the Group of Companies «Industrial Safety» (STC IS), STC «Industrial Safety» CJSC, ANO «Industrial Risk Research Agency», Fund of James Bruce) on a voluntary basis in the period of 2020–2022 prepared and sent to Rostechnadzor the drafts of amendments of 13 safety guides, which are currently approved. The article presents a classification of the above safety guides by content and considers a set of methods for accident risk analyses. The changes are presented in these guides related to the legal requirements for terminology, the need to make the set of safety guides more systematic. The algorithms for calculating risk indicators and affected areas were refined, the most significant of which can be distinguished: taking into account the variable clutter at the location of the fuel-air mixtures cloud, proceeding from the modern ideas about the assessment of the explosion consequences; including in the calculation of explosion parameters a model of computational gas dynamics, as well as the model designed for numerical simulation in the ejection of the jet section of the flow; actualization of the parametric models for calculating the effects of shock wave propagation in a physical explosion. The main directions are proposed concerning further improvement of the methodological support of risk analysis at the hazardous production facilities.

Published: August 2023

Insecurity in Nakuru City has increased over the past years, thus demanding urgent attention and mechanisms to control the number of crimes and improve security in the city. The National government, through the National Police Service (NPS), was not able to meet the high demand for security in Nakuru town, thus the rise in the numbers of private security companies as a complement. Therefore, there was a need to investigate the impact which was brought about by the Private security companies responding in order to deliver security services. The study aimed to find out the response strategies that the private security companies used in their service delivery and the impact that was brought about by the response. The study was guided by routine activity theory and deterrence theory. The study area was Nakuru town; the study used a descriptive survey design, and probability and non-probability sampling techniques were used. The sample size was 126 respondents drawn from 12 private security companies. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data, and the collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the study showed that there was a positive impact that was brought about by security companies responding to incidences. The responsive strategy that the private security companies had was well organized; the companies were able to respond in time and attend to the clients’ grievances, and this showed a high level of coordination. The findings of the study have informed the National government of the need for private security companies to have workable response plans and strategies for effective response. The findings have also created awareness to the private security companies on the need to have an active response strategy when they are attending to consumers' issues.

Published: August 2023

Teaching design is a concept that helps teachers to identify the learning purposes. It is not about timekeeping or scheduling class norms only rather a plan that equips learners to learn the required concepts. It is a strategy that supports teachers to maintain effective higher educational practices. This qualitative study analyzed the high-impact teaching designs that can help in the effectiveness of higher education practices. The high-impactteaching designs are Inward design (module material), Backward design (module delivery planning), and Forward design (module outcomes). The educational institutions have aligned most of the programs as per the requirements of modern corporations. This study is based on the authors’ priori interest and knowledge in the field and has offered three teaching designs related to inward design, backward design, and forward design. The readers will have exposure to the designs and learn to apply them to implement effective higher educational practices. The study organized the teaching designs and proposed the sequential flows from input (course modules), process (delivery mode), and output (program outcomes). The purpose of such proposed flows is to list the effective educational practices that can help in achieving the learning and program outcomes.

Authors:   Kwara State Internal Revenue Service, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria, Ridwan Dauda Olamilekan
Published: August 2023

Monetary policy has been identified as an indispensable tool for macroeconomic stabilization. The transmission of monetary policy is conditioned on the effectiveness of the monetary policy intermediate targets of which interest rate, exchange rate depreciation and money growth are important. Many factors have been shown to affect monetary policy, of which, the role of financial inclusion is important. However, empirical studies on the relationship between financial inclusion and the interest rate of monetary policy transmission are few; as a result, this study examined the impact of financial inclusion on the effectiveness of the interest rate channel of monetary policy transmission in West Africa. In doing this, the study employed a panel dataset consisting of 15 West African countries for periods between 2005 and 2020. The data were from a secondary source, in particular, the World Bank’s World Development Indicator database. The analysis involves descriptive statistics and inferential analysis of the Generalized Method of Moments approach. The result of the generalized methods of the moment showed that financial inclusion improves the effectiveness of the interest rate channel of monetary policy transmission. Based on findings, this study recommends that policy authorities in West Africa should embark on a renewed commitment to ensuring access for all in West Africa.

Authors:   Department of Management, Faculty of Law & Management, University of Mauritius, Mauritius, Mustun Zuhayr Khan
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this paper is to undertake a narrative review on climate change, institutional quality, and SDGs within the context of Yemen. The methodology is a broad study of past and recent academic works related to the topic's keywords. In essence, a narrative review has been undertaken to incorporate the three interlacing issues; climate change, institutional quality, and SDG in the context of Yemen. The present research work reinforces the evidence that climate change effects are particularly more catastrophic in regions already under political, socio-economic, and cultural pressures. Eventually, the attainment of SDGs become increasingly challenging in contexts with intense climate variability and native disturbances. Besides, the lack of quality institutions and strong governance put in peril the stability of the country, thereby making it more prone to conflicts. This eventually leads to the formation of a vicious circle where low institutional quality fecund more conflicts, which in turn further destabilizes state institutions. Overall, climate change is making matters worse for countries like Yemen, and hence this study provides an insight into the Yemenite society and economy. Since this is a narrative review with an interpretive approach, further studies should aim to engage in more econometric analysis covering the interference relationships between climate change, institutional quality, and SDGs, especially in countries facing the turmoils of war and conflict.

Food safety assurance is becoming a prevalent concern due to several food scandals that have eroded customer trust and confidence. Despite the importance of food safety, little is known about the current state of food supply chain safety controls (FSCSC). Therefore, this study aims to identify and establish a conceptual model for FSCSC. To gain a preliminary grasp of the impetus behind the FSCSC, this study applied a comprehensive literature review to fully integrate the various elements that drive FSCSC. Relevant literature on food safety, food quality, and food safety control measures is being scrutinized. Regulation and legislation, traceability and trackability, technology, and human capital are recognized as important aspects to enhance FSCSC. All four main aspects provide a communication network that is capable of aiding food controllers to verify, identify, and isolate potential sources of contamination. Insights from this study could offer a better understanding of FSCSC and serve as a platform for future empirical research. This study proposed an alternative strategy to transform the current FSCSC. Hence, future studies could incorporate inquiry, in-depth evaluation, and panel interviews to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the general awareness of FSCSC processes.

The concept of interest and profit is as old as the history of commercial transactions because, in Jahiliyyah (ignorant) period, people transact business based on interest and sometimes for profit. These concepts are also not alien to conventional financial practice, except that many people cannot distinguish between interest-based and profit-based transactions. As much as shariah encouraged commercial transactions of common and fair benefit through exchanging commodities and money, it equally emphasised the need for fair play and justice for entire market stakeholders. This study aims to explore and explicates literature on the differences between conventional bank interest rates and the Islamic bank profit rate in financing. The study will describe the contractual pictures of both methodologies to analyse the convergent and divergent features between interest-based loans and profit-based financing. This study uses the Islamic legal maxim theory of "In contracts, the effect is given to intention and meaning and not words and forms" (Al-‘ibratu fil uqūdi lil maqāsidi wal ma’ānī lā lil alfāzi wal mabānī) as a fundamental principle in determining shariah compliant profit based in commercial transactions. This study arrived at findings on the distinctive divergent between the interest rate and profit rates in financing. The study identifies issues those convergent trigger concerns among researchers and critiques in contemporary applications can be resolved based on contractual intent and meaning rather than words and forms. This study came up with recommendations for improving the operational status of Islamic financial transactions in the profit rate.

Published: August 2023

Background

The cognitive impairment after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has become a crucial clinical concern that cannot be ignored. However, studies on the early warning factors of cognitive impairment after PCI are still insufficient.

Methods

This study reviewed the postoperative cognitive function of 284 patients who underwent PCI in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2022. During the 21-day follow-up, all participants included in the analysis were divided into the cognitive impairment (CI) group (n = 82) and the noncognitive impairment (NCI) group (n = 186) according to their Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) scale. Participants’ serum 25(OH)D3 levels on admission and serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S100β levels were measured 21 days after surgery.

Results

Age more than 65 years, hypertension, operation time longer than 60 min, left ventricular ejection fraction less than 50% and serum 25(OH)D3 less than 31.41 ng/ml were the risk factors for cognitive dysfunction in ACS patients 21 days after PCI. Serum levels of 25(OH)D3, NSE, S100β and GFAP were significantly higher in patients with cognitive impairment than in patients without cognitive impairment.

Conclusion

Postoperative serum NSE, S100β and GFAP levels were significantly negatively correlated with serum 25(OH)D3 levels at admission. The serum 25(OH)D3 level is a risk factor and predictor of cognitive impairment in patients with ACS after PCI.
Modified abaxial sesamoid nerve block provides enhanced proximal diffusion compared to basisesamoid block and lower proximal diffusion than traditional low plantar nerve block in equine hind limbs: ex vivo and in vivo study
Authors: Estrada Roberto J. , Alvarado Genner J. , Vargas Alejandro , Vargas Jose , Vargas Diana , Chacón Randall , Razquin Patricio , Vindas Rafael
Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVE

To determine the proximal diffusion distance of radiopaque contrast medium and mepivacaine/methylene blue solution and incidence of inadvertent intrasynovial and intravascular injections of modified sesamoid nerve block (MASB) when compared with traditional plantar nerve analgesia techniques of the equine distal hind limb.

SAMPLE

Ex vivo model: 18 hind limbs; and in vivo model: 5 horses in a crossover study.

METHODS

In the ex vivo model, a mepivacaine/methylene blue solution was used to compare the diffusion distance between MASB, basisesamoid block (BSB), and traditional low plantar block (TLPB). Ten minutes after injection, skin was dissected and proximal diffusion distance of the dye patch was measured. In the in vivo model, both hind limbs were injected with radiopaque contrast medium with either MASB or TLPB. Ten minutes after injection, a radiograph was acquired and the proximal diffusion of the contrast medium patch was measured.

RESULTS

In the ex vivo model, solution proximal diffusion distance for MASB was significantly longer than BSB (P < .050) and significantly shorter than TLPB (P < .050). Both techniques reached the proximal aspect of DFTS similarly (P = .289), and no difference in the incidence of intrasynovial or intravascular injections was observed (P = .292). In the in vivo model, contrast medium proximal diffusion of MASB was significantly shorter than TLPB (P < .050). The proportion of injections that diffused subcutaneously to the proximal aspect of the proximal pouch of the DFTS was not significantly different between techniques (P = .136). No difference in the incidence of DFTS intrasynovial or intravascular injections was observed (P = .305).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

MASB presented significantly more proximal diffusion than BSB and less proximal diffusion than TLPB, consistently reached the proximal aspect of DFTS, and presented a very low risk of intrasynovial and intravascular injections.

Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVE

To identify risk factors for intra- and postoperative ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and in-hospital mortality in dogs undergoing splenectomy for splenic masses.

ANIMALS

308 dogs.

METHODS

Records from 2010 through 2018 were reviewed for dogs undergoing splenectomy for a splenic mass. Clinical and laboratory findings on admission, diagnostic imaging, anesthesia, surgery and pathology reports, treatment records, and in-hospital mortality were evaluated with logistic regression.

RESULTS

VAs occurred in 138 (44.8%) dogs (126/308 [40.9%] postoperative, 51/308 [16.6%] intraoperative, 26/308 [8.4%] preoperative), with 50/308 (16.2%) dogs having more than one type of VA. Increasing heart rate and body weight, decreasing PCV and platelet count, hemoperitoneum, receipt of a transfusion, and diagnosis of hemangiosarcoma were associated with the presence of intra- and postoperative VAs on univariable analysis (all P < .001). On multivariable analysis, hemoperitoneum (P < .001 , < .001), increasing body weight (P = .026, < .001), and increasing heart rate (P = .028, < .001) were significant for intra- and postoperative VAs, respectively. Twenty dogs died (20/308 [6.5%]; 14/138 [10.1%] with VAs, 6/170 [3.5%] without VAs). Intra- and postoperative VAs were associated with in-hospital mortality (P = .009, .025, respectively).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Perioperative VAs were common and odds of VAs were increased with hemoperitoneum, increasing heart rate, and increasing body weight. Presence of VAs increased the odds of in-hospital mortality. Despite this, the overall in-hospital mortality rate was low (6.5%), indicating a good prognosis for survival of surgery in dogs with splenic masses, regardless of the presence of VAs or hemoperitoneum.

Time to Lay the Man to Rest: On Gender, Trauma and Father Figure in Spider-Verse
Authors: Li Yitong (Jacqueline)
Published: August 2023

‘Being Spider-Man is sacrifice.’ said Miguel O’Hara in the latest Spider-Man movie Across the Spider-Verse. As the theme of trauma and loss was revealed in this Spider-Verse film, the film has also brought up the pattern that was shown in every Spider character’s story arc across the spider-verse: they all have to go through certain trauma to become independent beings and discover their nature as a ‘hero’.  In the original Spider-Man story, it is through the death of his uncle Ben that Peter Parker discovers that “with great power comes great responsibility.”  In the spider-verse narratives, it is revealed that all variants of Spider-Man have a similar traumatic moment of origin.   
     The pattern that through every trauma there will be character growth, however, is problematic when applied to the female characters in the Spider-Verse story. Although they do go through traumatic events, their voices echo the sounds of patriarchal ideology ---- Instead of following their own pathway of character development often substituting their own desires in order to repeat the pattern of the classic Peter Parker storyline; supplanting their own values ideas, beliefs and identities and replicating a spider-man made ideological trope.  Moreover, these Spider-women are often operating in the shadow of patriarchy, with no strong female role models to guide them into an alternative way of being. 
      In the 2014 Amazing Spiderman#08, Mayday Parker, daughter of Peter Parker forcefully goes through the trauma of the death of her father. Similarly in Spider-Woman, Gwen Stacy faced the trauma of the death of Peter Parker. But both of their development was influenced by society and father figures, which lead their development to an unsatisfying result ---- the repeat of Peter Parker.   
      This paper will begin with the use of Helvie's trauma theory to examine the pattern of the classic Peter Parker storyline, followed by the close focus on female characters (Mayday Parker, Gwen Stacy) in the Spider-Verse comic line, and to see how they will eventually become the vessel that withholds nothing but patriarchal ideology under the influence of father figures.
Addressing the Replication Crisis in Accounting
Authors: Cheng Claire
Published: August 2023

The prominence of the “replication crisis” in social sciences has spurred concern regarding the reliability of published research. Accounting researchers share such apprehensions, acknowledging the perceived scarcity of published accounting replication studies. To investigate this belief, we analyze annual replication rates and the number of replicated original articles from three prominent accounting journals: Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR), Journal of Accounting and Economics (JAE), and Review of Accounting Studies (RAST). Two sample periods, spanning from 1970-2015 and 2016-2021, reveal a more than doubled increase in both 1) the average annual replication rate, rising from 3.13 to 8.67 times, respectively and 2) the average number of replicated original articles per year, advancing from 5.33 to 12.77 original articles, respectively. These findings challenge conventional beliefs surrounding the replication crisis in accounting, revealing a growing volume of published accounting replication research and replicated original articles. The significant increase observed, even within this small sample of three journals, suggests that accounting replication is more prevalent than thought. As ongoing analysis extends to a broad selection of prominent and smaller journals, the distinguished pattern emerging within the current sample suggests a potential continuation of this trend across accounting research.
South Asian and East Asian Immigrant Pregnant women in Canada, United Kingdom, United States of America, Australia, and New Zealand: Prevalence of common mental health conditions and women’s lived experience with them
Authors: Oluwole Oluwamisimi , Premji Shahirose , Ross-White Amanda
Published: August 2023

The goal of this review is to investigate the prevalence rates of common mental health conditions among pregnant East and South Asian immigrant women, as well as to understand their lived experiences with these conditions in 5 English-speaking countries: Canada, United Kingdom, United States of America, Australia, New Zealand.  
Pregnancy is a critical time in a woman's life marked by intricate physical, emotional, and psychological transitions. The mental health of pregnant women emerges as a paramount concern given its associations with poor pregnancy outcomes. This is crucial within the context of South Asian and East Asian immigrant women, who navigate unique cultural, social, and economic challenges in their host countries that may influence their emotional wellbeing. This review will investigate the prevalence rates of common mental health conditions. This review will also explore their encounters with mental health care services and interactions with perinatal mental health care providers and services.
Quantitative and Qualitative studies in English language that examine East and/or South Asian immigrant women in the perinatal period will be considered for this review. Published abstracts and mixed methods studies will also be included. All languages and publication dates will be included. However, only studies with an English language translation will be considered. This review will exclude books/book chapters, editorials, commentaries, and reviews.
CINAHL (EBSCO), MEDLINE ALL will be searched. Furthermore, a grey literature search will be included in the search using CINAHL and PsycINFO as well as websites such as Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC), Canadian Perinatal Surveillance System (CPSS), Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Collaborative (CPMHC), Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and the Canadian Pediatric Society. Screening, conflict resolution data extraction and aggregation will be done by two independent reviewers.
Building the de-risking state: Power, policy and Canada’s Social Finance Fund
Authors: Hodges George , Cohen Dan
Published: August 2023

In 2018 the Canadian Government announced the Social Finance Fund, a $755 million pool of public capital with the purpose of accelerating the growth of social finance markets in Canada. The Fund promises to unlock large new sources of funding for social purpose organizations by de-risking private investments (reducing investor losses by providing capital that will be lost first in case of investee default), dually offering investors financial returns as well as an opportunity to do social good with their capital. While the literature has interrogated the theoretical contradictions present in social finance markets, there has been little attention to how social finance markets emerge through acts of policy, and how de-risking private capital becomes a priority of the state. This paper examines how the changing network of actors over decades of policy debate led to the evolution and launch of the Social Finance Fund. The paper also argues that international policy learning was critical to the prioritization of de-risking private investments in social finance markets.
Increasing Attitudes of Biological Determinism in Youth
Authors: Kidd Lauren , Goodyear-Grant Elizabeth
Published: August 2023

This paper investigates changes in attitudes towards gender and sexual fluidity and binaries, gender roles, and reproductive restrictions among different age cohorts. There is a historical trend towards increasingly progressive attitudes amongst different age cohorts, whereby the youngest generation is typically the most progressive. Currently, there is a regression in progressive attitudes among youth with increased support for biological determinism.

 

Supported by research from academic sources, this paper discusses how individual attitudes are formed and change between generations. Focusing on increasing attitudes supporting biological determinism, this paper investigates the consequences dominant social attitudes have on self-identity formation. Through linking biological determinism to reproductive rights, this paper discusses the importance of bodily autonomy for identity formation.

 

The feminist interpretations of data presented in this paper hope to invoke consideration about the possible consequences of an increasing trend toward regressive attitudes. Overall, this paper alludes to where internalized misogyny comes from and how it can hinder self-identity development. Despite youth being in an unprecedented time of access to information and knowledge, they have not reported the expected results of increasingly progressive attitudes towards gender and sex. This paper calls the reader to re-examine the direction of our social discourse, attitudes towards gender and sex, and the expectation for increasingly progressive attitudes.
The Effects of Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage on Antagonist Muscles in Upper Limb Reaching Tasks
Authors: Smith Olivia , Manson Gerome
Published: August 2023

Coordination and control of multiple muscle groups are critical when adapting to movement disruptions, such as altered goals or pathways. Humans use sensory information from internal and external sources to engage in online movement control. Proprioception, mainly obtained from sensors in the muscles such as muscle spindles, is an important source of sensory information. After intense or unusual exercise, exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) can occur within 24 to 48 hours. EIMD can also increase noise in the signals generated by the sensory organs in the muscles and may influence online movement control.

The objective of the study is to investigate the effects of EIMD on upper-limb movement control.

Four right-handed, neurologically healthy, female participants (aged 20-21, M = 0.5) took part in the pilot experiment, they had normal, or corrected-to-normal vision, and participated in less than 5 hours of structured strength training weekly. The study consisted of familiarization and baseline testing, an exercise protocol, and a muscle damage assessment. In each session, a maximal voluntary contraction of the biceps brachii was assessed using a dynamometer. This dynamometer was also used for the EIMD-inducing protocol. To test the effects of EIMD on online control, participants completed a series of reaching tasks using the Kinarm Exoskeleton Robot. During some reaches, participants were required to correct their movement to either a force or target perturbation.

Our pilot data shows that our protocol successfully induced muscle damage, as well as less antagonistic muscle (bicep) activation during reaching tasks. This suggests reduced biceps muscle contribution to movement control post-exercise. A decrease in movement time could signify learning and requires further exploration. We are hopeful that with further data collection, we will establish that participants are less accurate and have reduced flexor muscle activity in responses to both types of perturbations, compared to baseline.
