Published: April 2023

As plantas medicinais detêm de vasta atuação na conservação dos aspectos de saúde das pessoas. Desse modo é de extrema importância que se tenha um meio que oriente acerca do uso de plantas medicinais, a população necessita de conhecimento e orientação, principalmente sobre plantas medicinais. As plantas Ocimum gratissimum L. e Turnera Subulata, não diferente, pois algumas populações já as utilizam para auxiliar tratamentos de cunho popular sem orientação científica o que é muito preocupante. Com base nisso foi feita a cartilha, contendo informações a respeito de tais plantas medicinais, os proporcionando consciência dos seus benefícios e malefícios. E de como se utilizar, conhecendo toda a planta e seus aspectos, preservando a cultura do uso de plantas medicinais. Foi trabalhado o desenvolvimento da Cartilha Orientadora sobre o uso de alfavaca e chanana como plantas medicinais. O desenvolvimento desta cartilha foi feito através de uma revisão bibliográfica, utilizados em livros, sites, entre outras, por meio de plataformas de pesquisas. Para sua realização, seguiu -se sete passos de construção, passando por uma análise criteriosa de exclusão e inclusão, para depois formação e elaboração da cartilha. Fornecer o maior número de informações a respeito da Alfavaca e Chanana. Trazendo imagens de autoria própria, de cada parte da planta desde da raiz, passando por seu caule, folhas, flor, sementes, sendo falando sobre seu cultivo, cuidado, moda de usar, preparo, considerações finais e as referências bibliográficas utilizadas, tudo isso dividido em vinte e três páginas. Mostrando em seu conteúdo que o órgão de fiscalização e regulamentação é a ANVISA, que não é por ser planta e pode usar como quer, sem ter nenhuma fiscalização e também se tem uma forma correta de uso e que é preciso ter cuidado para que venha causar problemas. Conclui-se com esse trabalho que necessário muita informação para o uso de plantas medicinais e orientação baseada em estudos, desde como usar preparada até como usar e a dosagem, e que as plantas são de grande importância no auxílio de tratamento e prevenção de doenças e que deveria ser investido mais em pesquisas com plantas.
Effects of Interest Rate Ceiling on Sustainability of Microfinance Institutions: Lessons from Tanzania
Authors:   University of Dar es Salaam, Charles Goodluck
Published: April 2023

This study explores the effects of an interest rate ceiling on the sustainability of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs). Based on qualitative research which entailed collection of online data from 53 respondents and in-depth face-to-face interviews with 10 MFI practitioners in Tanzania, it is evident that an interest rate ceiling interferes with competitive market forces. Given that MFIs vary in size, operational capacity, customer segment and business model, applying a single blanket interest rate leads to capital and credit diversion, hidden non-interest charges, the emergence of informal lenders and a black market, the withholding of credit from risky markets and the closure of some MFIs. Accordingly, an interest rate ceiling impairs the sustainability of MFIs and reduces financial inclusion. The study demonstrates that while competition moderate interest rates, non-interest measures can be applied to protect customers from being exploited by unscrupulous lenders.
Audit Committee and Internal Control Effectiveness in Public Sector Entities
Authors:   University of Dar es Salaam, Masanja Cosmas
Published: April 2023

This paper reports the findings of a study that examined the audit committee and internal control effectiveness nexus. The study worked on the assertion that the audit committee of the board enhances internal control effectiveness, which is widely documented and supported, more so in the private sector. As a result, many public sector entities’ governing boards are increasingly establishing such audit committees. Yet, it is unclear to what extent such increase in audit committees contribute to public sector entities’ internal control effectiveness, especially in developing economies. This study, therefore, examined the explanatory power of the audit committee’s characteristics, internal control specific oversight processes, and management support on the effectiveness of internal control of the reporting entity. Data was collected using structured questionnaire administered with key audit committee stakeholders of social security funds in Tanzania. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) was used to multi-regress the investigated independent variables against the dependent variable. Overall, results show that audit committee characteristics, audit committee internal control specific oversight processes and management support to audit committee significantly account for internal control effectiveness. Indeed, internal control specific oversight processes have the most significant positive explanatory power followed by management support to the audit committee and audit committee characteristics, respectively. Scholars, policymakers, audit committees, boards, and managers may use the results of this study to inform strategies and/or interventions aimed to improve audit committee’s contribution to internal control effectiveness.

Published: April 2023

The purpose of this article is to present the pioneering works in the field of environmental and energy economics by the Bulgarian economist Slavcho Zagorov (1898–1970) during the early 1950s, when Zagorov was in emigration. Zagorov is known to the Bulgarian reader as an economist and policy maker in the years between the two world wars. It is little known, however, that Zagorov was one of the first (his publications chronologically predate those of Nicolas Georgescu Roegen by about a decade) to present the concept of energy flow in the economy and human metabolism, explained through the prism of thermodynamics. Criticizing the traditional economic approach to national income from the point of view of "value", Zagorov developed a new energetic approach to national income and productivity. According to him, national income is a "movement of energy", which he calculates in terms of primary energy sources. The Bulgarian economist conducted a number of empirical studies on energy balances in the Danube Region, including in Bulgaria.

Many high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) users are confronted with questions about how to improve upon the performance of an existing or recently developed method. These days, we have many technological options to consider, but how do we choose one (or a few) to try? The variables that are most important for improving the separation of complex samples are quite different from those that are most convenient for improving the resolution of simpler samples. Considering these differences can help avoid wasting time and resources when trying to improve separation performance.
A Narrative Study on the Fear of Crime in Elderly Women
Authors:   The Korean Society of Private Security, Lee Gyu-Beom
Published: April 2023

Despite a decline in overall crime in the last decade, the fear of being a victim of crime has increased. The fear of crime is a psychological fear that anyone can have, regardless of gender or age. Research to identify the cause of fear of crime is constantly being conducted both at home and abroad. In particular, research on fear of crime has been carried out quantitatively, focusing on factors such as crime victim experience, crime vulnerability, regional disorder, social integration, and community police activities. However, in quantitative research on fear of crime, it is not easy to clearly identify the cause due to differences in fear of crime among research subjects. Therefore, in this study, we tried to identify the cause of the fear of crime, focusing on the research subjects who were highly aware of the fear of crime. In particular, based on previous studies, this study targeted female elderly people with high fear of crime despite low crime damage. In addition, the causes of fear of crime were divided into personal factors and environmental factors, focusing on female elderly people, and the causes of fear of crime felt by them were identified. As a result of the study, it was investigated that the cause of the fear of crime of the elderly female is the fear of crime due to the vulnerability of crime, and that the media's crime reports and disorder in the region maximize the fear of crime. Based on the results of this study, A public safety policy proposal was made to relieve the fear of crime for the elderly women.
A Study on Political Feasibility for The Introduction of Private Military Companies: Focusing on Combat Training
Authors:   The Korean Society of Private Security, Dong Guk-In , Hwang Tae-Yeon
Published: April 2023

The reason military organizations exist is to win wars. In general, in most countries around the world, military organizations are the most powerful organizations. In normal times, the core function of the military organization is the national security function of protecting territorial sovereignty and the life, safety and property of the people. From ancient times until now, military organizations have a habit of being operated exclusively by those who have the power to effectively rule them. Since ancient times, a country or group has not allowed another military organization that does not follow the chain of command. However, there have been other military organizations since B.C., such as mercenary units with a form of private security for warfare and maintaining power. In the past, it was not very difficult to dispatch military organizations to fight an allied war. However, even if the state decides the current situation, it is not easy to decide even if there is a national interest because of domestic political situation and public opinion, international public opinion, special relationship of national view, and various circumstances. In particular, it is clear that the dispatch of combat organizations is a very difficult choice for countries that are not directly involved in national interests, even if they are allies. Private military companies appeared to solve these problems. Private military companies are absolutely necessary in the future to maximize effectiveness in war, which is the goal of military organizations. Therefore, this study suggests the feasibility of the transfer of military organizations to the private sector at a time when private military companies are developing internationally, improving the combat capability of military organizations, expanding the freedom of choice of occupation as a military company, and The goal is to secure political legitimacy for the advancement of the defense industry and secure justification in the international order by entering the country. In this study, the necessity of a private military company for the transfer of a military organization to the private sector was investigated, and the positive and negative functions of the transfer of the military organization to the private sector were examined. It will help with introduction and development. This study has limitations in generalization because it differs depending on the economic situation such as national defense of each country.

Published: April 2023

Due to shortage of green fodder in rainfed regions of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, the animals are under nourished thus subjected to poor health and low production. The experiment was performed with the aim of increasing forage production in winter harsh weathered areas of Kashmir like Rawalakot. The study comprised of winter forages (Barley and Triticale) and nitrogen levels (0, 75 and 150 kg ha-1) as treatments and laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) having split plot arrangement with three replications. Results of the experiment showed that the N @ 150 kg ha-1 produced maximum plant height (112.00 cm), number of tillers per plant (15.667), fresh weight per plant (89.247 g), dry weight per plant (30.470 g), green fodder yield (53533 kg ha1), dry matter yield (17495 kg ha-1) leaf area per plant (16.838 cm2 plant-1), crop growth rate (72.333 gm2 day-1), crude protein (13.993 %), crude fibre (37.877 %), total ash (14.340%), neutral detergent fibre (52.423%) and acid detergent fibre (39.737%) in triticale crop. Emergence percentage, number of plants per unit area, and relative growth rate gave non-significant results during the study. Therefore, it was concluded that triticale is the best forage in harsh weather of Rawalakot during winter to feed the animals.

Production and performance of small ruminants is affected by the fluctuation of the housing system. Therefore, the current study was conducted to investigate the behavior of Beetal goats on different types of floors including soil, sand, sawdust, and concrete. Twenty-eight (n=28) female Beetal goats having age of 3±0.5 years and weight 40±5kg were selected randomly and behavioral observations were recorded from 20 March to 3 May 2019 (spring season). All animals were individually weighed and randomly divided into 4 groups (G1, G2, G3, and G4) have seven animals each. Each group was restricted (remain on the one floor) for 10 days to each of the four treatments i.e., T1 (soil), T2 (sand), T3 (sawdust), and T4 (concrete). After the restriction phase, free access was given to all four groups for all the four treatments i.e., T1 (soil), T2 (sand), T3 (sawdust), and T4 (concrete) for 2 days, so that animal can spend time at any floor willingly and no of animals spending time between treatments was recorded. The data for the selected parameters (Lying time, lying bouts, standing time & other, Preference lying time, Preference Standing time & other, Defecation frequency, Urination frequency) were collected for one hour at 12:00, 16:00, 20:00, 24:00, 04:00, and 08:00 hours in the last two days of each treatment period. The method of behavioral observation was based on the method of “Time sampling and “Point sampling. The maximum average lying time observed on soil was 37.00min/hr, urination frequency was observed more on sand (1.10/hr) and defecation frequency was found more on soil (1.33/hr.) Average lying time during the free access period was also higher on soil 30.53min/hr as compared to other flooring types. Finally, it is found that lying time was higher on the soil floor, although the result was not significantly more urination frequency was noticed on the sand floor. Multiple floors in the far may provide the preferred area for goats lying and elimination and consequently help in managing the animal health security. The purpose of this study is to provide awareness about the effect of floor on the production and performance of Beetal goats.

Creating a 3D terrain or a wave surface takes a lot of time for a graphic artist in the 3D game creation process. This problem poses the following computer requirements: the generated terrain surface must be both random at all points, but also smooth and curved, and the difference between the vertices must be controlled by the input parameter. This paper will upgrade the Gaussian Process (GP) from 2D to 3D in order to solve this terrain generation problem. In addition, when the generated surface becomes very large, GP requires a large amount of computation related to matrix analysis. This paper proposes an approximate solution to speed up the computation.

Published: April 2023

Background: Carbapenems are broad-spectrum antibiotics used to treat the family of gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae, especially those that are resistant to first-line antibiotics. Because these drugs are usually prescribed as the last line of treatment, resistance to these antibiotics carries irreparable risks to treatment systems, and screening high-risk individuals in medical centers and using infection control measures are critical strategies for eliminating them. Objectives: We investigated the prevalence of colonization of different strains of Enterobacteriaceae, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Escherichia coli and their risk factors in hospitalized children. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, stool samples were taken from patients during the first 48 hours of hospitalization in a tertiary children’s hospital and were cultured on Makcanki culture medium or EMB. Cultured Enterobacteriaceae samples were transferred to Müller-Hinton agar medium, and their antibiotic susceptibility was evaluated with meropenem and imipenem discs by disc diffusion method. In the next step, five common carbapenemase genes, including (VIM, IMP, OXA-48, NDM-1, and SPM-1) were examined by PCR method and reported accordingly. Results: Two hundred and ninety-five stool samples were examined, of which 242 (82%) samples were cultured positively with Enterobacteriaceae. The prevalence of carbapenem resistance was reported to be 37% among 295 samples using the phenotypic method. Resistance rates were high in patients with a history of antibiotic use, with frequent hospitalizations (more than two episodes in the last six months), and in patients with an underlying disease) malignancy, GI diseases, immunodeficiency, neurologic diseases such as cerebral palsy and epilepsy, endocrine diseases. Most of the genes found were OXA-48, followed by IMP and VIM. NDM-1 was found in 3 samples, and SPM was not found in any of the samples. In 13% of resistant samples, more than one carbapenemase gene was found. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the frequency of carbapenem resistance in stools colonized with Enterobacteriaceae is high in our patients. On the other hand, the presence of carbapenemase genes in these bacteria, which are located on the plasmids that can be rapidly spread in the hospital environment, is an alarm for the hospital infection control committee to take preventive measures in order to prevent the spread of these bacteria in the hospital.

Published: April 2023

Intermittent fasting is a cyclical way of eating that is formed by the succession of eating and fasting period. It includes a long period of fasting, such as 16-48 hours, in which individuals receive little or no energy, and a normal eating period. The most commonly applied methods are alternate day fasting (ADF), time-restricted feeding (TRF) the 5:2 diet and Ramadan fasting. It has been reported that these diet models can be an alternative to continuous energy restriction in the medical nutrition treatment of obesity and are effective in weight loss. Intermittent fasting can have positive effects on reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and improving symptoms by causing reductions in blood lipids, oxidative stress and inflammation. In addition, it is observed that intermittent fasting has effects on the prevention of diabetes by causing reductions in insulin resistance and fasting blood glucose levels. In addition to its positive effects, risks such as energy, vitamin, mineral and protein deficiencies may occur. The most important risk is that patients receiving insulin therapy may experience hypoglycemia during fasting periods. It has been reported to be unsafe for use in pregnant and lactating women, eating disorders, underweight individuals, adolescents, and older adults. Intermittent fasting should be applied under the control of a doctor and dietitian, taking into account individual differences and medical treatment. In this review, studies investigating the effects of intermittent fasting on weight loss and cardiometabolic health are summarized.

The Inner-Qurʾānic Development of the Images of Women in Paradise: From the Ḥūr ʿĪn to Believing Women
Authors: Davitashvili Ana
Published: April 2023

This article explores the inner-qurʾānic development of the images of women in the qurʾānic Paradise and explains the possible reasons for this development via a consideration of qurʾānic images of women more broadly. Women appear in the qurʾānic Paradise as “houris” (ḥūr ʿīn), “spouses” (azwāj), “spouses who acted righteously” (wa-man ṣalaḥa min … azwājihim), “pure spouses” (azwāj muṭahharah), and “believing women” (muʾmināt). Such references to women in Paradise correspond to the inner-qurʾānic development of the female image. The “houris” are mentioned only in the Meccan period, while references to “pure spouses” and “believing women” occur exclusively in the Medinan period. Furthermore, after the believing men are rewarded with the houris in earlier Meccan verses, later Meccan verses discuss earthly spouses. In these later Meccan verses, as earthly women gradually rise in station as the spouses of believing men in Paradise, the houris seemingly disappear. In parallel with this development in the qurʾānic account of women in Paradise, the early Meccan sūrahs do not explicitly describe women as “believing women,” thus putting forward no explicit rules of good conduct for earthly spouses. Finally, it is not until the Medinan verses that women are treated as moral agents.

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) and Its Applications
Authors: Balaram V.
Published: April 2023

During the last about 10 years, the inductively coupled plasma tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) technique with reaction cell is being utilized for the analyses of several trace elements/isotopes at very low concentration levels in a variety of matrices including geological, environmental, biological, medical, nuclear, agriculture, food, material and metallurgical sciences. Both solution nebulization, as well as direct analysis of samples by laser ablation (LA-ICP-MS/MS), are utilized for sample introduction. In fact, ICP-MS/MS technique with collision reaction cells eliminated the need for laborious chemical separations using methods such as ion-exchange or solvent extraction procedures to eliminate/minimize spectral and matrix interference effects as these interferences are removed using online chemical reactions within the instrument itself (chemical resolution). In addition, the technique is hyphenated with chromatographic techniques such as GC and HPLCfor a variety of applications. The detection limits for several elements in the periodic table lie in the pg/ml-fg/ml range, and the technique compares favourably with the expensive, complex, and superior high resolution-ICP-MS (HR-ICP-MS), both in terms of the detection limits as well as the ability to remove the most complex interferences. Thus, the ICP MS/MS made the determinations of elemental as well as isotopic concentrations very simple andeasy even in complex materials with several novel quantification approaches. This article provides an overview of these new developments during the last decade along with several applications in all areas of science and technology.

Published: April 2023

"In Georgia, the fables of Panchatantra are well-known through the book of Kalila and Dimna. However, some rare examples of direct parallels with the fables of Panchatantra appeared in Georgian literary sources and folk oral narratives. Next to the brief history of Panchatantras’s journey through centuries, and an overview of Georgian historical chronicles Kartlis Tskhovreba (The Life of Kartli), A Book of Wisdom and Lies by Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani, and Georgian folktales outline the transformations of some fables from Panchatantra in Georgia. The paper examines the role of animals in the fables in general, and shows the ways of interpretations on the example of the theme of ingratitude in context of European and Oriental narrative traditions.

The investigated material consists of a corpus of oral works (songs, proverbs), examples of rituals, elements of the physical education system and folk games. Cossack folk culture and traditions were based upon the fundament of military society. Its members placed their identity in the broader context of warfare, which they understood both as a source of income and glory, as both a practical and ethical interpretation of their historical role. The article's methodology is based on the functional analysis, ethnographic studies and comparative literature methods. Research on this aspect of Cossack culture is an important element of broader studies on Cossack identity. The analyzed materials shed light on the process of creating historical memories and identities of Cossack communities and fits into a wider range of Cossack studies. Keywords: Cossack folklore, military culture, Kuban Cossack, Kazakh Cossack, Ural Cossack.
Manele Music as a Marker of Collective Shame in the Online Discourse of the Romanian Diaspora in the United Kingdom
Authors:   Edge Hill University, UK, TRANDAFOIU RUXANDRA
Published: April 2023

"This article charts the reception of manele music among the Romanian diaspora in the UK. Using a netnographic approach applied to an online diasporic community, it studies the replication of acerbic debates in Romania about the role of manele within Romanian musical tradition. It also shows how the racialization of the Roma and the rejection of manele as “inferior” music serve both psychological and political purposes for a community that has experienced a loss in status due to migration. Manele become thus the measuring tape of cultural taste but also markers of collective shame that separate the “good” Romanians from the “bad”. These power games need to be understood in the context of old dissensions among Romanian elites related to Romania’s uncomfortable belonging to the Balkans. They also represent a renewed contestation of Oriental influences in Romanian culture that threaten to disrupt Romania’s presupposed belonging to the West. Keywords: manele, Roma, Romania, diaspora, Orientalism, shame. "

دور الجامعة في تعزيز آليات البحث العلـمي لخدمـة التنميـة المجتمـعي

Published: April 2023

تعاني الجامعات اليمنية كغيرها من الجامعات العربية من الكثير من المشكلات، حيث لا تزال معظم الجامعات اليمنية لا تقوم بكل وظائفها الأساسية بالشكل المطلوب، بل تقتصر وظيفتها متمثلة في المشاركة في تقديم المعرفة ونشرها، وذلك عن طريق التعليم والتدريس وتزويد الطلاب بمختلف العلوم والمعارف المختلفة؛ بينما نجد تراجع في وظيفتها التي تتمثل في إعداد القوى البشرية ذات المهارات الفنية والإدارية من المستوى العالي في مختلف التخصصات التي يحتاج إليها المجتمع، وفي مختلف مواقع العمل لتحقيق التنمية الاقتصادية والاجتماعية، وقد أنعكس ذلك بشكل مباشر أو غير مباشر على ضعف ما تقوم به الجامعة في البحث العلمي كما شهد ذلك التراجع في وظيفة الجامعة في خدمة المجتمع سواء تعلق ذلك الأمر بدورها التثقيفي والإرشادي أو في المشاركة في تقديم الخدمات الاجتماعية والتوعية العامـة، أو في تدعيم الاتجاهات الاجتماعية والقيم الإنسانية المرغوبة، ويعود ذلك إلى الخلل في الوظائف الرئيسة للجامعات اليمنية كونها لا تعمل على الربط الوثيق بين تلك الوظائف الأساسية، وهذه الأسباب كلها ساهمت في عدم مشاركة الجامعة في مجتمعنا اليمني في خدمة وتنمية المجتمع كونها لم تقم بوظائفها الرئيسية بشكل جيد؛ بينما يرجعه البعض الأخر إلى ضعف الإنفاق على البحث العلم من قبل الحكومة ووزارة التعليم العالي والبحث العلمي؛ وإلى عدم انفتاح الجامعة والمؤسسات البحثية العلمية على المجتمع والقطاع الخاص الذي ظل بعيداً عن مشاركة وتمويل الجامعة والمؤسسات البحثية العملية من أجل النهوض بعملية البحث العلمي وتسويقه لمنتجاته داخلياَ وخارجياً. ولهذا فقد هدف هذا البحث إلى تقييم الوضع الراهن للجامعات والمؤسسات العلمية في اليمن والخروج بآلية تعزز دور البحث العلمي في الجامعات والمؤسسات العلمية والبحثية في خدمة المجتمع.
