The Competitiveness of Tomato Value Chain, Kenya
Authors: Dr. Cpa Mukholi Gabriel Tenesi  , Dr. Lydiah Mbulah Kitonga
Published: November 2023

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum mill) is an important vegetable, ranked number three among the vegetables. The vegetable contributes about 31.8% to domestic horticulture and is ranked in the following order: Kales, Cabbages, Tomatoes, Cowpeas, Spider plants, Snow peas, Nightshade and Amaranth. Tomato fruits can be used as salads, cooked as vegetables, processed into tomato paste (puree), tomato sauce, ketchup, juice and sun-dried tomato. This study only analysed tomato fruits and did not study the products of tomato fruits. Tomato production is grown in most of the agro-ecological zones in the country. There is a high demand for tomato consumption in the country because every household uses tomato and the performance of tomato production could depend on the production system in place. There are two production systems, the open field and the protected environment system (greenhouse technology or screen house technology) and the two production systems have different performance potential. The greenhouse technology is only 10% adoption rate and the open field technology is 90% adoption rate. The greenhouse technology supposedly produces more up to tenfold compared to open field technology. The open field technology and the greenhouse technology use the determinate and indeterminate tomato varieties, respectively. This study, therefore, purposed to determine the profitability level of the two tomato production systems in Kenya. The study used documents from Horticulture Development Authority, Kenya Agriculture Livestock Research Organization, Amiran Kenya Limited and Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. Partial budgeting analysis and Breakeven analysis were used to determine profitability. The net return obtained for using equivalent greenhouse technology over the open field technology in one acre of land was Ksh 1,328,320 in one production season. The average net return was Ksh 127,478 per greenhouse technology in one production season. There was also an average net return of Ksh 127.5 per plant. The Breakeven analysis in greenhouse technology was 335,010.137 kgs of Tomatoes in one production season. The Breakeven analysis in greenhouse technology per one greenhouse was 32,150.685kgs of tomatoes. Therefore, only 1.6 production seasons are required to breakeven. Thus, it can be concluded from the study that it is economically worthwhile to use greenhouse technology in tomato production in Kenya.

This study examines decadal time-series data from 33 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) of varying sizes across India. The analysis reveals persistent challenges, including high dependence on Inter-Governmental Transfers (IGTs), fluctuations in tax revenue, and limited spending on Operations and Maintenance (O&M). Capital expenditures are primarily driven by program-based IGTs, prompting a reevaluation of strategies to enhance own revenue mobilization. The study emphasizes the link between revenue efforts and O&M, advocating for improved current spending to sustain existing infrastructure and support new investments
The study of the awareness and participation of pharmacists in the “Affordable Medicines” government program
Authors: Huz V. S.
Published: November 2023

Aim. To study the awareness of pharmacists and their participation in the implementation of the “Affordable Medicines” government program when dispensing medicines for the treatment of arterial hypertension (AH); to determine directions for optimization of pharmaceutical care for dispensing medicines using electronic prescriptions (e-prescriptions) and improvement of training programs, thematic postgraduate cycles for pharmacists.

Materials and methods. The objects of analysis were 291 questionnaires on information support for pharmacists regarding dispensing of medicines for patients with AH during the implementation of the “Affordable Medicines” program. The questionnaires were filled out by pharmacists from 8 regions of Ukraine, they were studying at specialization courses, thematic postgraduate cycles in the period from December 2021 to December 2022. Such methods as questionnaires, Google-forms, generalization, content analysis were used.

Results. The analysis of the questionnaires showed that the largest percentage was pharmacists in the specialty “Organization and Management of Pharmacy”, who had more than 10 years of work experience. Among the surveyed pharmacists, 80 % work in pharmacies located in cities, which indicates an insufficient number of pharmacies and the implementation of the “Affordable Medicines” program in rural areas. According to the expert assessment, the following medicines are in the highest demand among hypertension patients using e-prescriptions: bisoprolol, enalapril, and clopidogrel, which are highly effective for the treatment of AH. It has been found that pharmacists consider it expedient to include new combined medicines and modern mono-preparations (perindopril, lisinopril, valsartan) in the Register; they are in demand among patients with AH at their own expense. It has been found that 96.3 % of pharmacists believe that it is necessary to receive more information support during the internship and thematic cycles on the pharmaceutical care for patients with AH according to evidence-based medicine, dispensing medicines according to e-prescriptions in the “Affordable Medicines” program in Ukraine.

Conclusions. The results of the expert assessment of pharmacists indicate that dispensing of medicines by e-prescriptions for patients with AH in the “Affordable Medicines” program has significantly improved the economic availability of medicines for outpatient treatment. It has been determined that it is advisable to expand this program with combined medicines and mono-preparations, which are in demand among patients at their own expense. The expediency of postgraduate educational programs has been substantiated, and methodical support has been prepared for thematic cycles, trainings on pharmaceutical care and e-prescriptions for AH.

Authors: Hasan Jasim Haider
Published: November 2023

Purpose. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of partial ferrule locations on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated maxillary canines restored with complete crowns. Material and Methods. Fifty extracted maxillary canines were sectioned 18 mm from their apices, endodontically treated, and divided into 5 groups of 10 teeth each. All groups were prepared with full shoulder crown preparations. the first group having axial wall heights of 2 mm around the preparation circumferences, the axial walls were circumferential, 360 degrees around the preparations (Complete group), the second, third, and forth groups the axial walls were continuous for 180 degrees (one half of the axial tooth structure) of Palatal, Labial, and Proximal groups, and the fifth group all axial tooth structure was sectioned to the level of the preparation shoulder (Level group). All prepared teeth were then restored with quartz fiber posts (RTD), composite resin (Multicore) cores, and complete metal crowns. The fracture resistance was measured in a universal testing machine at 135 degrees to the long axis of the tooth until failure. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and then by Least Significance Difference test (LSD). The mode of failure was determined by visual inspection of all specimens. Results. Significant differences (P<0.05) were found among the mean fracture loads of the test groups, and was 803.7 N, 747.7N, 347.3 N, 386.6 N, and 186.7N for the Complete, Palatal, Labial, Proximal, and Level groups, respectively. When the mode of failure was evaluated, all failure was an oblique palatal to facial root fracture for the groups with remaining coronal tooth structure. In the Level group, post debonding was the predominant mode of failure. Conclusion. The palatal axial wall was more effective than the labial or proximal axial wall in providing fracture resistance to force applied to the palatal aspect in endodontically treated teeth.

In today's multicultural world, the growing migration exchange transforms the historically established ethno-religious and sociodemographic structure of local communities, which can create the threat of increased inter-group tensions. These threats are particularly acute in border regional societies, where migration processes are characterized by higher intensity and the composition of the population is more heterogeneous, including religious attitudes and practices. The purpose of the study was to analyze the specifics of the conative (behavioral) component of the religious identity of the population of four border regions of Russia (Altai Republic, Tuva Republic, Altai Krai, and Novosibirsk Oblast). Sociological surveys were conducted in 2022 (N = 1862) by means of an online platform. Based on respondents' self-assessments of religiosity and Huber S. the Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS), a typology of respondents' religiosity levels was constructed using a two-step cluster analysis. It has been revealed that the religious behavior in border regions is syncretic and combines both religious rites and actions prescribed by the religion practiced and pseudo-religious practices. Several regional peculiarities were found: the population of Altai Krai and Novosibirsk Oblast is characterized by utilitarian motivation in carrying out religious practices, the religious behavior of the population in the Altai Republic is marked by an eclectic combination of religious and pseudo-religious practices. Religious behavior of the population of the Republic of Tuva is manifested in participation in religious ceremonies prescribed by the professed religion, the desire to consult with the minister of religion and receive his blessing in important situations of life.

Kilka uwag o języku i piśmiennictwie mniejszości zamieszkałych na terenie Rzeczypospolitej i Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego
Authors: Kozhinova Alla
Published: November 2023

Artykuł poświęcony jest niektórym zagadnieniom historii przejścia na języki słowiańskie przedstawicieli ludów niesłowiańskich zamieszkałych na terytorium Królestwa Polskiego i Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego – Tatarów litewskich, Ormian polskich, Żydów wschodniosłowiańskich. Argumentuje się, że głównym tego powodem, oprócz konieczności komunikowania się z okoliczną ludnością, były dialektalne rozdrobnienie języków ojczystych i konieczność porozumiewania się w ramach samej grupy etnicznej. Przejściu na języki słowiańskie sprzyjała także względna tolerancja miejscowej ludności wobec emigrantów. W artykule pokazano również, że przechodząc na języki słowiańskie, przedstawiciele ludów niesłowiańskich opanowali nie tylko komunikację ustną, ale także pisemną.

Canonical titration simulations
Authors: Bakhshandeh Amin , Levin Yan
Published: November 2023

We present a Monte Carlo approach for performing titration simulations in the canonical ensemble. The standard constant pH (cpH) simulation methods are intrinsically grand canonical, allowing us to study the protonation state of molecules only as a function of pH in the reservoir. Due to the Donnan potential between a system and an (implicit) reservoir of a semi-grand canonical simulation, the pH of the reservoir can be significantly different from that of an isolated system, for an identical protonation state. The new titration method avoids this difficulty by using canonical reactive Monte Carlo algorithm to calculate the protonation state of macromolecules as a function of the total number of protons present inside the simulation cell. The pH of an equilibrated system is then calculated using a new surface insertion Widom algorithm, which bypasses the difficulties associated with the bulk Widom particle insertion for intermediate and high pH values. To properly treat the long range Coulomb force, we use Ewald summation method, showing the importance of the Bethe potential for calculating pH of canonical systems.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: This study was undertaken to investigate students’ perceptions of innovation-integrated learning, adopted as an alternative approach for special care dentistry (SCD) training. Methods: Ninety final-year dental students from the 2021 cohort were divided into eight groups to complete an innovation project dedicated to eight categories of patients with special health care needs. Discussion and final presentations, involving related experts were conducted remotely via an online platform. Then, students were invited to answer a validated online feedback survey on their perceptions of the learning approach. Results: The response rate for the feedback survey was 91.1% (n=82). Most students agreed that the activity was interesting, improved their knowledge and understanding of SCD, allowed engagement between peers, supported sharing of ideas and experiences, encouraged student–lecturer interactions, and enhanced knowledge integration and application. Students also expressed that the activity enhanced creativity and innovation, instilled an interest and positive attitude toward learning SCD, and encouraged teamwork. However, a few students noted facing some limitations in completing their projects (i.e., technological challenges and reduced physical access to purchase materials). Around half felt neutral about having an increased workload from this activity. Moreover, perceptions differed regarding time and financial commitments, as well as supervisors’ and patients’ involvement during the project development process. Conclusion: Students perceived that the innovation-oriented learning activity, was beneficial in multiple aspects of SCD training. Keywords: Innovation, Learning, Dental Students, Perception

Published: November 2023

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to carry out a comparative analysis of the job satisfaction of nurses working in India based on the different types of the hospital they are working with. The study tests the null hypothesis that the job satisfaction of nurses from India across different types of hospitals is the same.
Methods: Four hundred nurses divided into 100 each for four popular types of hospitals – (1) Educational; (2) Government; (3) Charitable Trust; and (4) Private, from all over India were surveyed. Two ANOVA tests were performed. The first one was performed, taking overall job satisfaction as the dependent variable. The second ANOVA was performed by taking the monetary and compensation factors, work environment and management support, and job-related factors as the dependent variables.
Results: The overall mean of job satisfaction was -0.73 (SD 0.60). Overall, 65 percent of the variability of the dependent variable, job satisfaction, is explained by the type of hospital and is statistically significant (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: Monetary and compensation factors, work environment and management support, and job-related factors impact nurses' job satisfaction. These factors vary with the type of hospital, and hence it can be concluded that due to variation in these factors depending on the type of hospital, the job satisfaction of nurses varies. Implications of our study are for the educational, government, and charitable trust hospitals to improve their work culture, management, and work environment so that nurses will have higher job satisfaction.

gestion locale du vieillissement: le cas de Tracadie au Nouveau-Brunswick
Authors: Simard Majella
Published: November 2023

La gestion territoriale du vieillissement représente un réel défi pour les municipalités du Nouveau- Brunswick. Cette contribution illustre les changements survenus en ce domaine et, plus spécifiquement, aux infrastructures, aux équipements et aux services municipaux, entre 2014 et 2021, dans la municipalité régionale de Tracadie. L’analyse repose sur des entrevues semi-dirigées effectuées auprès d’élus locaux et d’intervenants oeuvrant auprès des aînés. Bien que les répondants aient noté une amélioration globale en matière de gestion territoriale du vieillissement, il persisterait des lacunes, particulièrement dans les anciens districts de services locaux, notamment en ce qui concerne les trottoirs et le déneigement. La mise en oeuvre d’un plan d’urbanisme qui prendrait en considération les réalités particulières des aînés permettrait sans doute d’atténuer les effets de telles carences.

Authors: AO Okhunov
Published: November 2023

Background: The presence of a multifaceted microbiological etiological factor of surgical infection and differentiated sensitivity to antibacterial drugs determines the need to develop more effective means and methods of influencing the purulent microflora of wounds. Physical treatment factors, in particular, low-frequency ultrasound and ionised plasma flows, should be considered promising for solving this problem. Materials and methods: The research was carried out based on the Scientific Center of Microbiology and the clinic of the Tashkent Medical Academy. Bacteriological studies of wound discharge and biopsy material were carried out. We studied the material of purulent-inflammatory diseases of soft tissues. Results: Wound-sounding through a dioxidine solution is most effective against gram-negative bacteria, and ultrasonic cavitation in combination with iodopyrone is most effective against gram-positive microorganisms. Treatment of purulent wounds with low-frequency ultrasound through a mixture of iodopyrone solution and ascorbic acid is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative microbes. Argon plasma flows have a high bactericidal effect mainly on gram-negative bacteria. Conclusion: The obtained data substantiate the need to choose a physical method of treatment of purulent wounds depending on the species composition of the wound microflora.

Özbəkistanda dil siyasətinin digər Mərkəzi Asiya ölkələri ilə müqayisədə daha nikbin inkişaf etdiyini söyləyə bilərik. Özbəkistan Prezidenti Ş. Mirziyoyevin 21 oktyabr 2019-cu ildə “Özbək dilinin dövlət dili kimi nüfuzunu və mövqeyini gücləndirmək barədə” tədbirlər planı haqqında fərmanı özbək dilinə dövlət tərəfindən verilən dəyərin göstəricisidir. Fərmanda dövlət dilinin qorunmasına, inkişaf etdirilməsinə və bu tədbirlər planından irəli gələn işlərin görülməsinə nəzarətin dövlət tərəfindən həyata keçirilməsi qeyd olunur.

Bu gün Özbəkistanda qarışıq bir əlifbadan istifadə olunur. 1993, 1995 və 2001-ci illərdəki əlifba dəyişiklikləri digər türk dilləri ilə yaxınlaşma baxımından uğursuz cəhdlərdir. Ancaq dövlətin 2019-cu ildə qəbul etdiyi Tədbirlər planında keçmişdə latın əlifbasına keçiddə baş verən xətaların yenidən təkrarlanmaması üçün əlavə tədbirlərin görülməsi xüsusi qeyd olunmuşdur.

Bu yazımızda Özbəkistanda müstəqillik dövründə həyata keçirilən dil siyasətindən bəhs edəcəyik.
LATİN VE KİRİL GRAFİKLİ SAHA (YAKUT) ALFABELERİNİN TARİHİ
Authors: CAMALİ Dilber
Published: November 2023

Çarlık Rusyasının hâkimiyeti altında yaşayan Türk halklarınının alfabe süreci hemen hemen aynı kaderi paylaşmıştır. Aynı zamanda Türkçe konuşan halklar arasında Ruslaştırma politikasını yürütebilmek için Rusya'nın öncelikle bu halkların dillerini bilmesi gerekiyordu. Bunun için azınlık halkların alfabesi oluşturulmalı idi. Rusya, misyonerlik faaliyeti dolayısıyla tanrıcı ve Şamanist inanca sahip olan Türk halkları arasında bu politikayı daha rahat yürütebilmiştir. Bu nedenle bir asır içerisinde defalarca alfabe değiştirilmiştir. Latin alfabesine ilk geçen Saha Türkleri olmuştur. Birkaç versiyonda (Kiril grafikli Saha alfabesi ve Latin grafikli Saha alfabesi) hazırlanarak her biri birkaç yıl yürürlükte olmuştur. Günümüzde ise 1939 yılından bu yana Saha Türkleri 40 işaretten ibaret Kiril grafikli Saha alfabesini kullanmaktadırlar. Fakat A.S. Novgorodov'un oluşturduğu Latin harfli Saha alfabesi de uzun zaman kullanılarak eğitimin önünü açmıştır. Bu makalede Latin grafikli Saha alfabesinin ve Kiril grafikli Saha alfabesinin tarihi araştırılmış, her iki alfabenin avantajları ve dezavantajları üzerinde durulmuştur.

İnsanlar, ilk anlardan beri hayvanlarla iç içe bir yaşam sürmüştür. Bazı hayvanlar insanların hayatında kolaylık sağlarken bazılarına karşı bir savunma mekanizması oluşturulmuştur. İnsanın toplum içinde ya da dışında varlığını sürdürebilmesi için hayvanlar büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Bölgeden bölgeye değişkenlik gösteren bu inanışların tek bir formunun olması mümkün değildir. Örneğin bir hayvan, bir toplumda olumlu anlamlara sahipken başka bir toplumda olumsuz anlamlara sahip olabilir. Dolayısıyla inanışlar da bu bakış açılarına göre şekillenir. Zaman içerisinde oluşan doğa olayları ve gündelik yaşamda bazı şeyleri anlamlandırma çabaları, insanlar arasında bir arayışa sebep olmuştur. Bu arayışın sonucunda ortaya çıkan inanışlar, hayatı anlamlandırma noktasında kolaylık sağlamıştır. Böylece insanın varlığını sürdürebilmesi açısından inanışların çeşitlenerek hayatı kolaylaştırdığı görülmüştür.

Geçimlerini hayvancılıkla sağlayan Özbek Türkleri, hayatlarını hayvanlarla paylaşmıştır. Merasimlerde uygulanması gereken bazı ritüeller, hayvan takvimine göre şekillenmiştir. Halk arasında “Çorva Hisobi” olarak bilinen bu takvim, hayvanlarla ilgili düşüncelere kaynaklık etmesi bakımından önemlidir. Genel olarak öküz, inek, koyun, kuzu, koç gibi hayvanlarla ilgili inanışların yer aldığı bu takvime göre bir hayvan kültürü oluşturulmuştur. Kam anlatılarında kamlara yardım eden ruhlar arasında hayvan ruhları da vardır. Hayvan-ata inanışı Türk dünyasında olduğu gibi Özbek Türkleri arasında da kendisine yer bulmuştur. Çalışmada bahsedilen hayvanların birçoğunun adı ayrıca takvimlerde zamanı belirlemek amacıyla kullanılmıştır. Hayvanlarla ilgili inanışların kökenine bakılarak hayvan kültüyle ilgili bilgilere ulaşmak amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada ilk olarak yazılı kaynaklardan hareketle Özbek halk inanışlarının durumu incelenmiştir. Daha sonra günlük yaşamda yer alan çeşitli inanış ve uygulamalarda hayvanların durumları hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Çalışmada genel olarak Özbek Türklerinde yaşayan hayvan inanışları ile ilgili örnekler tartışılacaktır.

The geophysical investigation for groundwater was carried out at Oda town, Akure south local government area of Ondo State. Fourteen (14) points were sounded using a Schlumberger array with AB/2 of 80 m and the resulting geoelectric parameters were used in the estimation of the aquifer layer parameters of the subsurface. The first layer resistivity value ranges from 29 to 164 Ωm and thickness ranges from 0.6 to 2.5 m. The second layer has a resistivity value ranging from 21-1361 Ωm with a thickness ranging from 1.5 m to 14.6 m. The third layer resistivity value is from 68 to 297 Ωm with thickness ranging from 4 m to 12.4 m. The fourth layer which is the deepest layer has a resistivity value ranging from 180 to 4364 Ωm with depth ranging from 4 m to 19.5 m. The parameters interpreted from the geoelectric data were used to generate the aquifer thickness and resistivity maps, with bedrock relief which were combined to produce the groundwater potential map of the area. These maps were used to characterise the study area into low to high groundwater potential zones. The southwestern and eastern parts were identified as productive groundwater potential zones. The result was validated by taking water column depth from eight existing hand-dug wells. A significant correlation was obtained between the groundwater potential model and the well water column. The surveyed area is generally suitable for hand-dug well aside from the north-eastern part where groundwater potential is low and water volume is observed.

Published: November 2023

The human body has symmetric bones. This paper uses control engineering concepts to design a suitable controller to synchronize two symmetric bones of the human body to control and treat bone cancer. A Nonsingular Terminal Sliding Mode Control (NTSMC) method will be employed to design the proposed control inputs. The control inputs can be the chemical drugs that can be used to treat bone cancer. The dynamical equations of bone cancer will be used to apply the designed control method and test it. For testing the designed controller, Simulink/MATLAB software will be used. The proposed controller is chattering-free, robust against uncertainties and external disturbances, and finite-time stable in the control engineering view. Bone cancer will be treated for almost one year using the proposed control method.

The need for aggregate in a concrete mixture is around 60-70% of the total weight of concrete, so the choice of aggregate can affect the quality of the concrete. Generally, when making concrete, coarse-graded sand is preferred over fine-graded sand because fine-graded sand has less strong adhesion between the grains. This condition could potentially lead to environmental degradation due to excessive excavation of coarse-graded sand. This research aims to analyze concrete mixtures in various sand zones to achieve a compressive strength of quality concrete of 25 MPa. The method used is laboratory experimental. The research results show that to achieve a concrete quality of 25 MPa, Water-Cement Ratio (WCR) values of 0.54, 0.53, 0.52, 0.50 are required; the amount of cement was 379.63 kg, 386.79 kg, 394.23 kg, 410 kg; and the percentage of sand to total aggregate is 39%, 39%, 38%, 37% for concrete mixtures using sand zones 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The finer the sand gradation, the greater the amount of cement required, while the WCR value and percentage of sand to total aggregate are lower to achieve a concrete quality of 25 MPa.

Composition of tear fluid alter not only in ocular diseases but in systemic pathologic processes including central nervous system (CNS) disorders. It is due to the variety of regulatory pathways for the tear production with active participation of CNS. The review represent data about mechanisms of tear production regulation, sources of metabolites present in tears, alterations of tear fluid composition in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson diseases, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These neurodegenerative diseases are accompanied by typical alteration of concentrations of different protein bioregulators (cytokines, growth factors, synucleins, etc.) and catecholamines. These alterations often correlate with ones in cerebrospinal fluid appearing even before the clinical manifestation of the disease. Thus tear fluid analyses is a promising non-invasive method for the early diagnostic, prognosis and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases, and also for the personalized therapy. We tried to represent the most recent data because interest to this problem has increased during the last years, and our own data also.
