Authors: KUMAR AMIT , MALIK JOGINDERSINGH , KAMBOJ MOHIT
Published: July 2022

Study was conducted to explore the role of extension advisory services in relation to smart agriculture to mitigate the effect of climate. Agriculture is a very prominent sector of the Indian economy accounts for (49%) of the employment and one-sixth of the GDP. The agricultural industry is supported by 500 million small holder farms. Agriculture is extremely vulnerable for climate change and water as well. Climate change affects agriculture in the Asia and Pacific region particularly in those areas that are vulnerable to natural disasters. Higher temperature reduce yield of desirable crops while encouraging weeds and pests proliferation. Changes in precipitation pattern and floods affect agriculture causing crop failures. In India, significant negative impacts occurred due to climate change reasoned to reducing the yields. In addition to advisory services advanced information on likelihood of weather help to carry out to proper management of resources for agricultural operations to minimize the risk and facilitate growth and realizes the optimum crop yield. Further, decentralization of extension services tracing the different state or district-level funding is needing exercise not always known at national level in various states or provinces spending on extension service. It plays a prominent role by creating awareness regarding adaptation of best practices regarding climate change, deforestation and planting of trees also potential to transform the vision of India’s famers about food security, poverty alleviation and sudden climatic threats. Thus, the advisory services help taking the advantage of benevolent weather and minimize adverse impact of malevolent weather.

H3N2 INFLUENZA LUNG INFECTION AND ACUTE ENCEPHALOPATHY- CAN OSELTAMIVIR BE A COMMON SOLUTION?
Authors: VERMA ISHAN , Khare Apurva , Gupta Suyash
Published: July 2022

Background: Influenza infection subtypes have emerged as a serious, fatal but curable disease in many parts of the world for more than a decade. Though classically it involves respiratory tract, there also can be extrapulmonary involvement of multiple organ system in Influenza that can lead to death. Case Report: We report a 79 year old male was diagnosed with H3N2 lung infection and treated with 5 days course of Oseltamivir. He later developed CNS complications. The possible causes of encephalopathy were ruled out after thorough evaluation. Appropriate antibiotics and antiviral drugs were started but patient’s condition did not improve. Studies suggest various central nervous system complications including encephalopathy that can occur secondary to Influenza virus infection. Influenza virus has been detected in CSF PCR but the sensitivity is very low. A second course of Oseltamivir was started based on clinical judgement after which the patient’s condition gradually improved. Oseltamivir was continued for 14 days. Conclusion: It is at times difficult to detect the causative organism in cases of CNS infection that can delay treatment. In such cases empirical treatment with antibiotics and acyclovir or with antitubercular drugs is the usual treatment regime that is applied in most small hospital setups after which the patient may or may not improve. Any history of prior or recent attack of Influenza respiratory infection should not be missed by the clinicians and, if found so, CNS complications secondary to Influenza infections should be kept in mind. In such cases it is imperative to add Oseltamivir to the treatment. Inclusion of extended course of Oseltamivir can save lives in resource limited setups.

Published: July 2022

Myocardial necrosis caused by ischemia is called a myocardial infarction (MI). which interrupts coronary blood supply. When the oxygen supply to the heart is insufficient to meet metabolic demands, myocardial ischemia occurs. Atherosclerosis, which obstructs the coronary arteries, is the most common underlying cause of myocardial ischemia. The role of arginase-1 (ARG-1) and serum lipids in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction is becoming clearer. This study aims to see if there is a link between ARG-1 activity and MI in the Iraqi population. Between the first of November 2021 and the first of February 2022, 90 people were separated into two groups: 45 patients with MI and 45 healthy controls. Human ARG-1 was measured in serum blood using the ELISA method. The serum lipid was measured using the spectrophotometry technique. The current investigation discovered a substantial (p=0.01) rise in ARG-1 concentration compared to control groups, as well as a significant difference in blood lipid content between patients and control groups (p<0.05). Finally, ARG-1 may have a role to play role in the pathogenesis of MI.

Published: July 2022

Kontrak bisnis internasional merupakan pedoman bersama para pihak yang mengikatkan diri atas hak dan kewajiban tertentu serta melintasi bats negara. Pedoman tersebut biasanya berhubungan erat dengan transaksi perdagangan, yang pada saat ini bisa dilakukan secara jarak jauh atau elektronik. Proses perdagangan secara elektronik sebagai sarana transaksi tanpa tatap muka antara pembeli dan penjual hingga munculnya tanda tangan elektronik. Lembaga yang sampai saat ini berperan dalam mengharmonisasi hukum transaksi perdagangan elektronik ialah United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) yang merupakan subsidiary organs Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB). Pengaturan khusus terhadap tanda tangan elektronik secara internasional terdapat pada UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce 1996 dan UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signature 2001. Dilihat dari terbentuknya peraturan-peraturan secara internasional ini menandakan bahwa masyarakat internasional sangat membutuhkan peraturan yang sesuai dengan perkembangan teknologi terutama dibidang transaksi-transaksi perdagangan internasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan  data sekunder yang dikumpulkan melalui metode studi pustaka. Masalah yang diangkat adalah bagimana hukum kontrak internasional mengatur tanda tangan elektronik dan bagaimana perlindungan hukum bagi pengguna tanda tangan elektronik. Dari dua pertanyaan tersebut didapati kedua Model Law dari UNCITRAL tidak mengikat negara. Negara bebas untuk mengikuti seluruh isi aturan, sebagian, atau bahkan menolak keseluruhan. Model Law menjadi pedoman untuk membantu negara-negara di dalam membuat perundangan nasionalnya. Selanjutnya aturan yang dibuat oleh ICC, ICSID dan UNCITRAL diyakini dapat menjadi pemecah masalah terkait dengan kontrak bisnis internasional termasuk dengan topik tanda tangan elektronik. Meski dalam Model Law juga telah di bahas bagaimana tanda tangan elektronik dapat berlaku untuk mendukung perdagangan elektronik.

The objective of this study was to assess the quality and shelf life of goat liver storage at refrigerated temperature (4º C). For this purpose, raw goat liver samples were divided into five treatment groups in relevant of five days storage, treated as T1 (day 1or control), T2 (day 2), T3 (day 3), T4 (day 4) and T5 (day 5). Sensory attributes (color, flavor, juiciness and tenderness), proximate composition, pH value, cooking loss, biochemical properties such as free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (POV), thiobarbituricacid value (TBA), and microbial load such as total viable count (TVC), total coliform count (TCC) and total yeast mould count (TYMC) were carried out in each day of storage. The results show that color, flavor, juiciness, and tenderness were significantly decreased with increase the days of storage. Dry matter (DM) content significantly (p<0.05) increased, while crude protein, ether extract and ash contents were significantly (p<0.05) decreased with increase the days of storage. A significant (P<0.05) decrease of pH from 6.85 to 5.68 was observed during 5 days of storage. The percentage of cooking loss of 13.37 ml on day1 gradually increased to 33.84 mL on the fifth day of storage. In addition, the biochemical and microbial analysis also showed that FFA, POV, TBA, TVC, TCC and TYMC values were significantly (p<0.05) increased with increase the days of storage. Therefore, based on these results of shelf life evaluation, it may be concluded that goat liver will acceptable microbiologically and organoleptically up to the third day of storage at 4º C.

Published: July 2022

Social Media is one of the public spaces for discussing and participating in politics to realize democracy. However, social media also has a weakness in disseminating hoaxes, misinformation, and exposing the Post Truth phenomenon that threatens the sustainability of democracy in Indonesia. The Normative Media Theory suggests that a media should (1) guarantee freedom of opinion, (2) convey information and know the truth, (3) be independent and reduce the interests of media owners, (4) have a variety of information available to the public, (5) reach out to the public. broadly various audiences, (6) supports a democratic political system, (7) and respects the privacy and human rights in general. This study investigates the role of KompasTV social media in realizing democracy in the post-truth era as a form of social media journalism. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection in the form of observations and interviews. From the results of the research, it was found that KompasTV social media journalism upholds aspects of the Normative Media Theory perspective by prioritizing news value, verification, and fact-checking to ward off and avoid hoaxes, due to important and interesting things for the community. However, as a media that plays in the realm of social media, KompasTV in the pre-election period used SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Trending Topics, and viral issues in its journalistic production to increase views. Meanwhile, during the election period, KompasTV social media put forward the principle of balance.

Published: July 2022

A clear sky, daytime retrieval of low-level precipitable water vapor based on the single-layer approximation to the radiative transfer equation applied to three longwave window channels is described. The algorithm, which simultaneously retrieves skin temperature and air temperature as well, has the advantage of using satellite radiances only—no ancillary information is needed. Application of the method to Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-16 Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) radiance observations at 10.3, 11.2 and 12.3 µm demonstrates its utility in monitoring the location of low-level water vapor in the warm season, pre-convective atmosphere over the United States.
On the Use of Indices and Parameters in Forecasting Severe Storms
Authors: Doswell III Charles A. , Schultz David M.
Published: July 2022

This paper discusses our concept of the proper (and improper) use of diagnostic variables in severe-storm forecasting. A framework for classification of diagnostic variables is developed, indicating the limitations of such variables and their suitability for operational diagnosis and forecasting. The utility of diagnostic indices and parameters as prognostic tools for forecasting is discussed, revealing the relevant issues in designing new diagnostic variables used for making weather forecasts. Finally, criteria required to claim that a new diagnostic variable represents an effective prognostic variable are proposed. We argue that few, if any, diagnostic variables have met these criteria for demonstrated utility at prognosis.
Using Kernel Density Estimation to Identify, Rank, and Classify Severe Weather Outbreak Events
Authors: Schafer Chad M. , Doswell III Charles A.
Published: July 2022

A method for ranking severe weather outbreaks of any type using a linear-weighted multivariate scheme has been introduced recently. The results of using this ranking method indicated that the scheme was capable of identifying the most significant severe weather outbreaks. However, the inclusion of days in which numerous reports were widely dispersed across a large region, or in which multiple clusters of reports that were geographically widely separated, was problematic. Though the studies included a variable (the so-called middle-50% parameter) that was effective in identifying these cases, a new way was needed to account for these days in a manner that agrees with subjective perceptions of these events. A candidate scheme introduced here uses nonparametric kernel density estimation to identify clusters of severe weather reports associated with a single severe weather event. Clusters with relatively few reports or sparse coverage within the region associated with the event then can be excluded quite easily. This technique also allows for multiple, regionally-separated clusters of severe reports to be considered in one day. After identifying clusters of severe weather events from 1960-2008, the cases are ranked and classified in a way similar to past research, using multivariate linear-weighting and cluster analysis, respectively. Results suggest that the most significant severe weather outbreaks again are identified appropriately, and the cases could be classified as major tornado, hail-dominant, wind-dominant, and minor mixed-mode events.
Environmental Characteristics Associated with Nocturnal Significant-Tornado Events in the Great Plains
Authors: Mead Corey M. , Thompson Richard L.
Published: July 2022

Nocturnal significant-tornado events are investigated in association with a similar synoptic pattern in the spring, over the central and southern Great Plains, from 1999–2009. This pattern is characterized by a well-defined midlevel trough over the Intermountain West, with prevailing southwesterly winds at 500 hPa over the central United States. The underlying topography of the region contributes to the development or deepening of a lee cyclone over the High Plains with the rapid intensification of a low-level jet stream (LLJS) observed around 0000–0300 UTC. The LLJS development is as much as 3–6 h sooner and driven by different dynamical processes than that documented with the nocturnal boundary-layer wind maximum (NBLWM). In the 15 documented tornado cases, ratings of the nocturnal tornadoes exceed that of any antecedent, daytime occurrence. To determine which aspects of the local environment are critical to nocturnal tornado development within the context of the identified synoptic pattern, a similar sample of 18 nontornadic cases was compiled during the same time period. Rapid Update Cycle-2 (RUC-2) soundings representative of the warm sector environment revealed that the most important differences between the tornadic and nontornadic cases involved low-level thermodynamic profiles. Comparison of several thermodynamic parameters indicates that low-level static stability is a strong discriminator between the tornadic and nontornadic cases, with the tornadic cases characterized by larger mixing ratios, smaller convective inhibition, and a lower level of free convection.
Environments of Significant Tornadoes Occurring within the Warm Sector versus those Occurring along Surface Baroclinic Boundaries
Authors: Garner Jonathan M.
Published: July 2022

Archived, hourly-analysis proximity soundings from the operational Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) model are used to examine the vertical wind profiles and thermodynamic parameter space associated with significant tornadoes (rated F2+/EF2+) occurring in the warm sector (33 events) of synoptic cyclones, as well as those occurring along surface baroclinic boundaries (52 events), during the period 1999-2010 over the central and eastern United States. These tornadoes were associated with either the warm sector or a surface baroclinic boundary through the use of subjective surface analyses, supplemented by visible satellite and WSR-88D imagery. A key finding is that measures of ground-relative wind speed, storm-relative helicity, and bulk wind difference are much stronger for warm-sector significant tornado events. In contrast, thermodynamic parameters did not distinguish between the two regimes. Among all of the parameters examined, the observed and predicted speed of the parent supercell showed the most substantial differences between warm-sector and boundary significant tornado environments.
An Aristotelian Resistance Against Transhumanism
Authors: Martinelli Emanuele
Published: July 2022

Posthuman Bliss? The Failed Promise of Transhumanism by Susan B. Levin presents a well-informed and structured critique to transhumanism. Not only transhumanist ethical and sociopo-litical applications are challenged: the theoretical assumptions and implications of transhumanism are made explicit and put into discussion, thereby confronting transhumanism as a worldview of its own, from metaphysics, to epistemology, to philosophy of mind, down to ethics and politics. This worldview is then constantly put to the test of Levin’s own Aristotelian essentialist framework, which sees the human being as a holistic whole and our role in the world as the complex process of attaining human flourishing. First, I will spend a few words to frame the general aim of the book and to delineate the main contents of the seven chapters. After that, I will deal critically with four interesting focal points, where further research may be prompted or the standpoint of the author may be challenged: the attribution of (rational) essentialism to transhumanism, the definition of well-being underlying transhumanist positions, the apparent tension between the sociopolitical im-plications of transhumanism and its cultivation of radical personal autonomy, the critical evaluation of Levin’s American-centered adaptation of her Aristotelian virtue-ethics approach.
Post-Dystopian Technorealism of Ted Chiang
Authors: Hughes James , Eisikovits Nir
Published: July 2022

In this article, we argue that Ted Chiang’s short stories offer a realist philosophy of technology, one that charts a third course between the techno-pessimism and techno-optimism that characterize the history of philosophizing about technology and much of the speculative fiction about it. We begin by surveying the history of utopian and skeptical approaches to technology in philosophy and speculative fiction. We then move to discuss two of Chiang’s recent stories and use them to articulate the author’s techno-realism. Chiang’s view, as it is developed in these stories, has three features: First, technology is not merely an agent of de-skilling, it can also promote self-knowledge and insight. Second, technology is not only an agent of alienation it can also provide succor and psychological relief. Finally, technology does not necessarily remake us into new beings with new capacities and needs. In many cases, it just gives us further avenues to be what we already were - to act on the tendencies and pursue the needs we always had.

Метою статті є аналіз та характеристика інтелектуального потенціалу трудових ресурсів підприємства та його ролі в підвищенні ефективності управління господарською діяльністю в готелях та на підприємствах громадського харчування. На основі методів наукової логіки сформульовано загальні поняття та відображено їхню роль у системі категоріального апарату. Системний підхід допоміг визначити роль трудових ресурсів у готельно-ресторанному бізнесі, які виконують певні функції та між якими існує взаємозв’язок (структура), що визначає положення кожного елемента (людини) у загальній системі сфери послуг.
Обґрунтовано, що співробітники готельного господарства є важливою частиною кінцевого продукту, тому якість послуг готельного господарства та громадського харчування залежить від кваліфікації та поінформованості працівників. Тому ефективне управління персоналом стало однією з найважливіших функцій у готельно-ресторанному бізнесі. У статті розглянуті особливості зайнятості й управління персоналом у сфері готельного господарства та громадського харчування. Визначено структурне співвідношення, функціональні обов’язки та можливості керівників і рядових працівників. Етапізовано кроки керівництва при досягненні маркетингових цілей. Підтверджено необхідність покращення управління персоналом. Уведено поняття «інтелектуальної праці». Обґрунтовано, що наразі серйозних змін зазнали не лише принципи й методи управління готелями та ресторанами, а й методи обслуговування клієнтів, які стали високотехнологічними та орієнтованими на споживача. Висока культура обслуговування та конкурентоспроможність індустрії готельного й громадського харчування органічно пов’язані з високопрофесійною підготовкою та технічною грамотністю працівників цієї галузі. Визначено напрями та сучасні можливості розвитку готельно-ресторанного бізнесу, серед основних: розвиток мереж малого готельного бізнесу; поглиблення ресторанної спеціалізації; упровадження нових комп’ютерних технологій; розвиток міжнародних мереж готелів і ресторанів та, звісно, покращення якісного складу персоналу.
РОЗВИТОК МЕТОДІВ КОМЕРЦІАЛІЗАЦІЇ ІННОВАЦІЙ В УКРАЇНІ

Інновації сприяють виробництву продуктів із новими або покращеними характеристиками, наданню більш якісних послуг, максимально відповідних людським потребам. Однак необхідно не лише розробити інновацію, а ще й комерціалізувати. Українські підприємства під час комерціалізації стикаються з проблемами політичної, економічної, соціальної нестабільності, стагнації економіки; відсутністю усталеної практики маркетингових досліджень для розуміння потреб ринку, фінансовими проблемами з пошуком інвесторів тощо. Нині існує ряд методів комерціалізації інновацій. Усі вони по-різному розвиваються в Україні. Науковий інтерес до комерціалізації інновацій зростає щороку. Так, у базі даних Web of science знайдено 2783 публікацій щодо комерціалізації інновацій, половина з них опубліковані протягом останніх 5 років.
            Метою цієї роботи є дослідження розвитку деяких методів комерціалізації інновацій в Україні. Дослідження проводилося на основі звітів Державної служби статистики України. Проти 2010 року кількість інноваційно активних підприємств та підприємств, що впроваджують інновації, 2019 року скоротилася вдвічі. При цьому кількість підприємств, що впроваджують інновації, на 12-13 % менша, ніж кількість інноваційно активних промислових підприємств. Кількість нових технологічних процесів, упроваджених у виробництво промисловими підприємствами, збільшилася на 13 %, а впровадженої інноваційної продукції скоротилася на 11 %. Витрати на інновації промислових підприємств зросли на 75 %, а обсяги реалізованої інноваційної промислової продукції лише на 1 %. Кількість кооперативів 2022 року скоротилася на 13 % (до 2013 року). Кількість франчайзерів 2020 року зросла на 42 % (до 2010 року). Кількість лізингодавців, юридичних осіб та фінансових компаній, що надають послуги фінансового лізингу в Україні, протягом 2015-2019 років зменшилася на 42 %. Вітчизняний ринок інжинірингу залишається на стадії становлення, однак має чималий резерв запровадження міжнародної практики реалізації інжинірингових проєктів. Загалом, починаючи з 2016 року, франчайзинг та кооперація зростають, серед інших способів комерціалізації інновацій спостерігається спад.
