Published: September 2024

Из талломов листоватого лишайника Peltigera aphthosa методами сверхкритической флюидной экстракции (СКФЭ) и кислотно-щелочного гидролиза получены хитинсодержащие комплексы. С использованием активного планированного эксперимента определены оптимальные условия СКФЭ, позволяющие получить комплекс с выходом 96 % и сорбционной емкостью по метиленовому синему 125 мг/г. Показана полиамфолитная природа полученных комплексов-сорбентов, охарактеризованы их морфология и химический состав. Показана высокая эффективность переработки лишайникового сырья с получением хитинсодержащих комплексов методом СКФЭ в сравнении с методом кислотно-щелочного гидролиза.

A chitin-containing complex was obtained from the thalli of the foliose lichen Peltigera aphthosa by supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) and acid-base hydrolysis. Using an active planned experiment, the optimal SCFE conditions are defined, which allowed us to obtain a complex with a yield of 96 % and the sorption capacity of the methylene blue dye as high as 125 mg/g. It is shown that the obtained sorbents possess a polyampholitic nature, and their morphology and chemical composition are characterized. The SCFE method is shown to be highly efficient in comparison with the acid-alkaline hydrolysis method in the production of chitin-containing complexes via the processing of lichen raw materials.

Authors: Федяева О.Н. , Востриков А.А.
Published: September 2024

Обработка отходов свиноводства и птицеводства (отходы III класса опасности) водой при параметрах выше ее критической точки (T> 374 °С, P > 22,1 МПа) рассматривается в качестве одного из перспективных методов их экологически чистой переработки. Проанализированы работы, посвященные ожижению, карбонизации и газификации свиного навоза и куриного помета в суб- и сверхкритической воде. Обсуждаются проблемы, связанные с практической реализацией переработки отходов в сверхкритическом водокислородном флюиде, к которым относятся, прежде всего, высокая стоимость сжатого кислорода, неоднородный состав отходов и наличие в них твердых частиц, осаждение солей и коррозия конструкционных материалов. Показано, что из-за высокой обводненности отходов и низкой теплотворной способности содержащегося в них органического вещества практическая реализация процесса в автотермических условиях потребует использования дополнительного топлива.

Treatment of swine and poultry manure (waste of hazard class III) with water at parameters above its critical point (T > 374 °C, P> 22.1 MPa) is considered as one of the promising methods for their environmentally friendly processing. The works devoted to liquefaction, carbonization, and gasification of swine and chicken manure in sub- and supercritical water are analyzed. The problems associated with the practical implementation of waste processing in supercritical water-oxygen fluid are discussed. Their source is, first of all, the high cost of compressed oxygen, the heterogeneous composition of the wastes and the presence of solid particles an them,precipitation of salts and corrosion of structural materials. It is shown that due to the high water content in the wastes and the low calorific value of the organic matter contained in them, the practical implementation of the process in autothermal conditions will require the use of additional fuel.

Published: September 2024

Исследована зависимость размера и морфологии частиц гидрохлорида левофлоксацина (далее - левофлоксацин), осаждаемого методом сверхкритического анти-сольвентного осаждения (SAS), от величины давления и концентрации микронизуемого вещества в растворе. Показано, что кристаллизация левофлоксацина из двухфазной системы С0-ацетон-левофлоксацин приводит к получению частиц с бимодальным распределением по размеру. Увеличение давления вызывает смену режима осаждения, и как следствие, кристаллизацию частиц меньшего размера. Впервые построены кривые равновесия жидкость-газ для системы С0-ацетон-левофлоксацин при температуре 40 °С.

The effect of the pressure and concentration of the micronized substance in solution on the size and morphology of levofloxacin hydrochloride particles obtained using supercritical antisolvent precipitation (SAS) is investigated . It is shown that the crystallization of levofloxacin from the two-phase CO-acetone-levofloxacin system leads to the production of particles with a bimodal size distribution. An increase in pressure leads to a change in the precipitation regime, and as aresult, the crystallization of smaller particles. Vapour-liquid equilibrium curves were obtained for the CO-acetone-levofloxacin hydrochloride system at a temperature of 40 °C.
РОЗШИРЕННЯ ВЕРХНЬОЇ ЩЕЛЕПИ НЕЗНІМНИМ АПАРАТОМ RME У ПАЦІЄНТІВ, ЩО ЗРОСТАЮТЬ
Authors: Щербина Т.М. , Лихота К.М.
Published: September 2024

Анотація. За даними статистичного аналізу ВООЗ, зубощелепна патологія є однією з найактуальніших проблем сучасної ортодонтії. Швидке розширення верхньої щелепи незнімним апаратом RME (Rapid maxillary expansion) використовується як рутинна клінічна процедура в ортодонтії в пацієнтів, що зростають, для розширення верхньої щелепи з трансверзальним звуженням, глибоким піднебінним склепінням, супутніми перехресним прикусом і скупченням зубів, доки піднебінний шов не буде повністю сформований. Існують дані, що розширення верхньої щелепи за допомогою апарату RME також може покращити прохідність верхніх дихальних шляхів. Мета дослідження – проаналізувати дані наявних досліджень щодо ефективності розширення верхньої щелепи за допомогою апарату RME та його вплив на формування й розвиток верхніх дихальних шляхів у пацієнтів, що зростають. Матеріали і методи. Було проаналізовано дослідження, що розміщені на ресурсах РubMed, Embase та Cinahl, а також дані українських наукових робіт з метою оцінювання щодо ефективності розширення верхньої щелепи за допомогою апарату RME та його вплив на формування й розвиток верхніх дихальних шляхів у пацієнтів, що зростають. Висновки. Застосування системи RME є не тільки ефективним інструментом ортодонтичного лікування, вона також може бути задіяна в комплексному лікуванні порушення функції носового дихання шляхом розширення вентиляційних ходів та зменшення гіпертрофії носоглоткових мигдаликів. Крім того, незмінний апарат RME може поліпшити функцію Євстахієвої труби, покращуючи дію м’язів-елеваторів і натягувачів піднебінних м’язів з можливим позитивним впливом на рецидиви хронічного середнього отиту з випотом і кондуктивною втратою слуху в пацієнтів, що зростають. Отже, оториноларингологи повинні регулярно ретельно розглядати конформацію верхньої щелепи пацієнтів, що зростають, оскільки індивідуація зміненої структури скелета може сприяти підбору оптимальної тактики лікування, уникаючи хірургічних втручань (аденотонзилектомія або розміщення барабанної вентиляційної трубки). На основі проаналізованих даних можна стверджувати, що раннє застосування RME у пацієнтів, що зростають, також може допомогти уникнути оперативного лікування деформації носової перегородки в більш старшому віці. Однак необхідно провести подальші дослідження з метою оцінювання ефективності незмінного апарату RME в структурі лікування пацієнтів із порушенням функції зовнішніх дихальних шляхів та дисфункції колового м’яза рота.

Published: September 2024

Background: The banking sector is one of the job sectors that experience high stress, workload, complex interpersonal relationships, and job burnout as it involves interaction with the public and financial responsibilities, which leads to high burnout and stress. The present study was conducted to assess the prevalence of burnout and stress among bank employees and to find the associated factors.Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted among 282 bank employees of Kollam district, Kerala, India. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire related to the socio-demographic and professional details. We used the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) to screen for burnout levels. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 21) to screen for the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress among study participants. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data, and logistic regression was used to identify the factors associated with the levels of burnout and stress.Results: Of 282 study participants, moderate to high levels of burnout were observed in 232 participants (82.2%), and 74 participants (26.2%) had mild to extremely severe levels of stress. Daily average working duration showed an association with higher levels of burnout (adjusted odds ratio [ORAdj]: 2.391; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12–5.10) and stress (ORAdj: 3.37; 95% CI: 1.58–7.16).Conclusions: A high prevalence of burnout and stress was observed in the present study. The duration of working hours was associated with both burnout and stress. Therefore, regulating the working hours may help adequately manage stress and burnout, thereby improving the mental health of bank employees.

Authors: Choi Jae Wook , Lee Soung Hee , Choi Yeon Kuk , Lee Eun Il , Kim Hae Joon
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVES: The chrome-induced olfactory alterations is caused by inhalation of chromic acid, a highly corrossive and toxic materials. And nasal septum perforation(NSP) has been suspected with possible causative factor of olfactory alterations. To our knowledge, there has been no report of the detailed findings of the olfactory alterations in chrome exposed subjects without nasal septum perforation(NSP). So we present the results of olfactory function test measured by T&T olfactometer and olfactometer perception test among chromium exposed workers without NSP.METHODS: We performed this study in 25 study subjects and 25 control subjects matched with age, alcohol and smoking.All of subjects are man. We performed olfactory function test measured by T&T olfactometer and olfactometer perception test.RESULTS: 1) The age distribution of the subjects involved in this study was from 20 to 54 years old (average 33.3 years old) and the mean duration exposed to chromium was from 64. 9 months. 2) The olfactory function was checked by detection and recognition thresholds in five odorants. The detection thresholds of exposed group dealing with chromium were significantly increased in A and B ordorants than nonexposed group. The recognition thresholds of exposed group were significantly increased in D ordorants than nonexposed group. 3) The mean threshold of olfactometer perception test of exposed group were more increased than nonexposed group.But thresholds difference did not show statistical significance, 4) The detection thresholds of A and D ordorants, recognition threshold of C ordorants and thresholds of olfactometer perception test were increased in the relation with duration of chrome exposure.CONCLUSIONS: There has been no remarkable alterations in olfactory sense (TkT olfactometer and Olfactometer Perception Test) in subjects without nasal septum perforation(NSP) exposed to chromic acid.

Authors: Kim You Mie , Kim Young Jin , Lee Soo Young
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to examine the immunohistochemical distribution of TGase 1, 2, 3, coagulation factor XIII and N epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl) lysine cross-link in the silicotic nodules formed after an intratracheal instillation of the silica.METHODS: The immunohistochemical examinations used antibodies against TGase 1, 2, 3, coagulation factor XIII and N epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl) lysine isopeptide in the silicotic nodules induced after an intratracheal instillation of 50 mg of size fractionated, crystalline silica.RESULTS: A high level of TGase 3 was related to the severity of fibrosis in silicotic nodules and extracellular coagulation factor XIII was detected around the nodules. Expressions of both membrane-bound TGase 1 and TGase 2 were barely detected in the nodules although high expressions were detected in the intact lung. Formation of N epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl) lysine cross-links was increased in severe fibrotic nodules.CONCLUSIONS: TGase 3 might contribute to the eventual stone-like fibrosis via formation of N epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl) lysine cross-links. Futhermore, coagulation factor XIII plays a role in the formation of a provisional matrix which results in fibrogenesis during silicotic nodule formation.

Artificial Intelligence in Special Education: A Literature Review
Authors: Victor ALIU Toluwani
Published: September 2024

New avenues for communication with students who have special educational needs (SEN) have begun to open up because of innovative educational technology. The most successful strategies over the past 20 years (2001–2020) have been those that utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. The quality of life for SEN students is thought to be improved by the efficient use of A.I. techniques. Therefore, it becomes necessary to implement A.I. approaches to design procedures for both diagnosis and intervention. In addition, the study focuses on assistive technology and provides information on the most pertinent research conducted over the previous 20 years for the earlier objectives. This paper also discusses the limitations of current AI use in special education, including the scarcity of intervention tools and the lack of standardized diagnostic methods. Furthermore, the review explores the unique challenges in developing countries in implementing AI-based solutions for special education. This review study advances the available research by reviewing the role of Large Language Models (LLMs) as an assistive technology while building on existing research that has acknowledged the much earlier potential of AI technologies to empower special education.

How Consistent Are Humans When Grading Programming Assignments?
Authors: Messer Marcus , Brown Neil , Kölling Michael , Shi Miaojing
Published: September 2024

Providing consistent summative assessment to students is important, as the grades they are awarded affect their progression through university and future career prospects. While small cohorts are typically assessed by a single assessor, such as the module/class leader, larger cohorts are often assessed by multiple assessors, typically teaching assistants, which increases the risk of inconsistent grading.To investigate the consistency of human grading of programming assignments, we asked 28 participants to each grade 40 CS1 introductory Java assignments, providing grades and feedback for correctness, code elegance, readability and documentation; the 40 assignments were split into two batches of 20. The 28 participants were divided into seven groups of four (where each group graded the same 40 assignments) to allow us to investigate the consistency of a group of assessors. In the second batch of 20, we duplicated one assignment from the first to analyse the internal consistency of individual assessors.We measured the inter-rater reliability of the groups using Krippendorf's 𝛼 -- an 𝛼 > 0.667 is recommended to make tentative conclusions based on the rating.Our groups were inconsistent, with an average 𝛼 = 0.2 when grading correctness and an average 𝛼 < 0.1 for code elegance, readability and documentation. To measure the individual consistency of graders, we measured the distance between the grades they awarded for the duplicated assignment in batch one and batch two. Only one participant of the 22 who didn't notice that the assignment was a duplicate was awarded the same grade for correctness, code elegance, readability and documentation. The average grade difference was 1.79 for correctness and less than 1.6 for code elegance, readability and documentation.Our results show that human graders in our study can not agree on the grade to give a piece of student work and are often individually inconsistent, suggesting that the idea of a "gold standard" of human grading might be flawed, and highlights that a shared rubric alone is not enough to ensure consistency.
Beyond the Lab: Using genre history to teach critical scientific literacy
Authors: Reid Gwendolynne , Fankhauser Sarah
Published: September 2024

As Maria Gigante describes in this journal, a significant gap in science education exists in which students are not learning critical scientific literacy or how scientific facts are structured, argued, and ultimately agreed upon. Inspired by Gigante’s work, we describe the collaborative efforts of a rhetorician and a biologist to deliver an undergraduate course on the history of the scientific research article (SRA). Combining rhetoric, genre theory, and history of science and comparing the SRA in English and in French, the course illustrates the roles of forces like culture, sponsorship, and national ambitions in shaping how the SRA has evolved in its role in advancing scientific knowledge. Our paper reflects on how undoing the seeming arhetoricity of the SRA may prepare both scientists and citizens for productive conversations around scientific claims and the role of science in society. The course employed a chronological structure, beginning with contemporary SRAs and working backwards to the 1600s, engaging students through experiential learning activities and independent inquiry-based projects. Seven "forces for stability and change" were used as lenses for collective inquiry, though we found this ambitious within a single semester. Student reflections suggest that genre history proved a useful lens for understanding "how things work" in science as dynamic and changeable. We argue that this approach, combining genre theory with historical perspective, creates powerful lessons on science as a dynamic social enterprise and on the role of its epistemic genre (the SRA) in both the stability and change of that enterprise.

SOCIOPRAGMATIC FEATURES OF THE LANGUAGE IDENTITY “MOTHER”
Authors: UMURZAKOVA Markhabo
Published: September 2024

Researching the manifestation of language identity types in a literary text is one of the important issues of linguopersonology. Language identity types differ from each other in several signs, such as age, gender, nationality, territorial, and social affiliation. In a work of art, the writer must find and apply words corresponding to each social status of the individual. The speech of the representative of each language reflects his views on the universe and his attitude to reality. At the same time, he also carries the signs of the culture to which he belongs. Information about customs, faith, and level of knowledge is also manifested in his speech. The article deals with the language identity of a mother and its sociopragmatic features in the literary text. The mother's language identity also is represented in the social status of the spouse, neighbor, mother-in-law, and patient. The reflection of such qualities as compassion, trustworthiness, naivety, and kindness is inherent in Uzbek mothers.

Age determination is important in criminal cases, such as those involving prostitution, juvenile delinquency, infanticide,
rape, kidnapping, and criminal responsibility. To be eligible for employment, marriage, being a majority, managing
property, voting, being a witness, and having testamentary capacity, one must be of legal age. A skull's durability and ability to endure animal
disinterment make it a vital tool for identication in cases of advanced decomposition, re, and major disasters from a forensic standpoint. Cranial
suture closure pattern, Gustafson's approach for tooth examination (adapted by Johanson), Boyde's lines of increment on teeth, and Stack's method
of ageing are the conventional methods used for age estimation. By analyzing the skull CT scan pictures, this study attempts to predict the age of
patients whose age is known based on their ectocranial and endocranial suture closure pattern.

RESILIENCE AND LONELINESS: A CORRELATOR STUDY IN YOUNG ADULTS
Authors: Hediyal Soujanya , M Susmitha
Published: September 2024

This short study aimed at investigating the potential correlation between resilience and loneliness among young adults. A
sample of 80 individuals aged between 18-26 years old were recruited using a snowball sampling method, online.
Participants completed the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (RULS) to assess their levels of resilience and
loneliness, respectively. The analysis was to help cater and contribute to the existing literature on the psychological well-being of young adults by
examining the interplay between resilience and loneliness, in the technologically forward yet emotionally stagnated modern world. While the
statistical analysis of results indicated non signicance, with a negative correlation (-0.212), there is a trend indicating that as the values of
loneliness increase, the values of resilience tend to decrease, and vice versa, leaving room for further elaborate studies. The study's design and
results provide a foundation for future research in understanding the layered dynamics of mental health among young adults.
PRIMARY SYNOVIAL CHONDROMATOSIS : A CASE REPORT
Authors: Sousa Rocha Premila De , Naik Dessai Saheel , S. Bhat Rajika , A. K. Aiswarya
Published: September 2024

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign condition of the synovial membrane of joints, bursae or tenosynovial sheaths
characterized by the formation of multiple cartilagenous nodules or osseus loose bodies . It is usually a monoarticular
disease, and 33 different localizations have been described until now.(1). It typically presents with large joint effusion, and joints may appear
deformed due to swelling or synovial hypertrophy. Synovial chondromatosis can result in severe disability and dysfunction. However, most cases
are benign , and this condition rarely undergoes malignant transformation. The initial diagnosis of synovial chondromatosis is made through a
thorough history, physical examination and radiological evaluation of an affected joint.(2). Primary synovial chondromatosis (also known as
Reichel syndrome or Reichel-Jones-Henderson syndrome), is a benign monoarticular disorder of unknown origin that is characterized by
synovial metaplasia and proliferation resulting in multiple intra- articular cartilaginous loose bodies of relatively similar size, not all of which are
ossied. Hence, the term synovial chondromatosis is preferred over primary synovial osteochondromatosis(3). Primary synovial chondromatosis
typically affects the large joints in the third to fth decade of life, although involvement of smaller joints and presentation in younger age group is
also documented.(4). We present a review of the literature and report a case of primary synovial chondromatosis of the knee joint in a 32 year old
male.

O OLHAR DO PSICOPEDAGOGO NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL
Authors: Fulas Luciana Cristina Montone de Oliveira , Camargo Márcia de
Published: September 2024

Este artigo explora a importância do psicopedagogo na Educação Infantil, destacando seu papel essencial no desenvolvimento cognitivo, emocional e social das crianças. A análise se fundamenta nas teorias de Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky e Henri Wallon, que oferecem uma base teórica robusta para a prática psicopedagógica. Piaget considera a criança como um agente ativo na construção do conhecimento, defendendo a criação de ambientes de aprendizagem que promovam a exploração, a curiosidade e a descoberta, facilitando assim um aprendizado profundo e significativo. Vygotsky, por sua vez, destaca a importância da interação social e da mediação no processo de desenvolvimento, introduzindo o conceito de Zona de Desenvolvimento Proximal (ZDP), que permite que o aprendizado seja potencializado através de apoio e orientação apropriados. Wallon amplia essa visão ao integrar aspectos emocionais, cognitivos e motores, sublinhando a relevância da afetividade e da brincadeira no desenvolvimento integral das crianças. O artigo detalha como o psicopedagogo pode aplicar essas teorias para identificar e intervir em dificuldades de aprendizagem, oferecendo suporte tanto a alunos quanto a professores. O psicopedagogo atua na adaptação das práticas pedagógicas, auxiliando na criação de estratégias que atendam às necessidades específicas de cada criança e promovam um ambiente de aprendizagem mais eficaz. Além disso, o psicopedagogo orienta as famílias na construção de um ambiente educativo positivo e acolhedor em casa, reforçando a importância do envolvimento familiar no processo educativo. Ao respeitar e valorizar as singularidades de cada criança, o psicopedagogo contribui significativamente para a construção de uma educação infantil que não só promove o desenvolvimento pleno e equilibrado das crianças, mas também as prepara para enfrentar e superar desafios futuros com confiança e habilidades adequadas. Dessa forma, o papel do psicopedagogo é vital para garantir que todas as crianças recebam o suporte necessário para alcançar seu potencial máximo.

The study aimed to investigate the effect of silver AgNPs and zinc nanoparticles ZnNPs loaded on edible gelatin covers at concentrations of 20 and 30%, alone or with the nisin compound at a concentration of 50%, on some chemical properties of Yogurt was kept for 20 days at 5 ± 2°C. Preserving yogurt results showed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in moisture content during the storage period for all treatments., as well as the T7 treatment which silver nanoparticles were added at a concentration of 30% with the compound nisin at a concentration of 50% was the most capable of retaining moisture. As for the pH levels, T4 and T1 At the end of the treatments' storage time, they significantly reduced to be between (3.93 - 4.56). It was also found that the fat percentages continued to rise and reached their highest values in conjunction with the decrease in moisture values and were between (3.37 - 3.76 %) for both the T10 and T1 treatments at the completion of the storage time. As for the values of fatty acids, they did not differ significantly on the first day for all treatments, and they increased significantly as the storage period continuation, with values ranging between (1.42 - 1.94%) for the treatments, T4 and T3. As the humidity values decreased as the storage period continuation, as the storage period came to end, the ash percentage increased and reached its greatest values. The highest ash percentage was for treatment T7, reaching 0.83%, which differed significantly from the comparison treatment not coated with gelatin, T1, at which the ash percentage reached 0.70%.

Background: Ultrasonography is a noninvasive and cost-effective diagnostic tool that provides detailed anatomical information crucial for diagnosing renal diseases. It avoids radiation and contrast exposure, making it preferable over traditional radiography both domestically and internationally. These advantages facilitate early detection and enable accurate prediction of abnormal renal function tests, aiding in timely therapeutic decision-making. Objective: Our objective was to explore the utility of ultrasound in diagnosing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: This study, conducted between 2021 and 2022, employed a retrospective cross-sectional design within the ultrasound department of a Tertiary Hospital. The study involved 200 CKD patients with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of < 60 ml/min. Serum creatinine estimation was performed alongside blood tests on the same day as ultrasonography, which assessed echogenicity, parenchymal thickness, cortical thickness, and longitudinal length. All gathered data were recorded in the pro forma. Results: The patient cohort had an average age of 54.62±13.3 years. Mean serum creatinine showed significant variance across echogenicity grades (p=0.0005). Comparable trends were observed for mean parenchymal thickness (p=0.0005), mean longitudinal length (p=0.0005), and mean corticomedullary distinction (p=0.0005). A statistically significant highly positive correlation emerged between serum creatinine and cortical echogenicity grading (r=0.915, p = 0.0005). Conclusion: Renal cortical echogenicity, particularly its grading, exhibited the most substantial correlation with serum creatinine among various sonographic parameters like longitudinal length, parenchymal thickness, and cortical thickness in CKD patients. As renal cortical echogenicity's irreversible nature contrasts with serum creatinine levels, it stands as a viable parameter for renal function assessment.

Embryonal carcinoma is a rare and aggressive type of non-seminomatous germ cell tumor, usually affecting young or middle-aged people. It is often discovered by the patient or during routine medical examinations as a painless or sometimes painful mass. The aim of this article is to present the case of a 25-year-old patient with embryonal carcinoma, who presented to the clinic complaining of pain and swelling of the right testicle. Scrotal ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic, heterogeneous solid lesion. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of this case led to the diagnosis of pure embryonal carcinoma. Although pure embryonal carcinoma is rare, it is one of the tumors that can be confused clinically and histopathologically with other testicular tumors and should be considered in patients presenting to the clinic with complaints mainly of a painless mass in the testis. Multidisciplinary collaboration between urologist, radiologist, oncologist and pathologist is essential to ensure rapid diagnosis and implementation of the most appropriate therapeutic approach in these difficult cases.

Financial distress is a condition where the company’s finances are in unhealty or crisis and occurs before bankruptcy which is caused because the company does not always run in accordancee with the rules and regulations chaused because the company does not always run according to the plan. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of profitability ratios and capital structure on the likelihood of financial distress in companies, as well as how company size moderates this relationship, with the aim of providing practical and theoretical insights for corporate financial management and helping investors to make better investment decisions. The sample used in the research is all manufacturing companies listed on the IDX in 2018-2021. The number of data 220 companies. The research method used is using the documentation method, namely data obtained from financial reports and annual reports of manufacturing companies listed on the IDX during the 2018-2021 research period. The data analysis technique uses descriptive statistical tests, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing in the form of multiple linear regression tests, F tests, R2 tests and MRA tests. The significance level used in determining the research results is 0.05. The results of this research show that the profitability ratio does not have a significant effect on financial distress. Capital structure has a positive and significant effect on financial distress. This means that the higher the company's debt level, the more it can cause financial distress. Company size is able to moderate and significantly influence profitability on financial distress. Company size is not able to significantly moderate the influence of capital structure on financial distress.
To evaluate the impact of Agri-tech interventions on reducing post-harvest losses and enhancing market linkages for hill area farmers.

Due to rough terrain, inadequate infrastructure, and restricted access to technology, the agricultural industry in hilly regions has a unique set of obstacles. These challenges are particularly prevalent in the management of post-harvest losses and the establishment of effective market linkages. agri-tech initiatives that aim to reduce post-harvest losses and enhance market connections for hill area farmers will have an impact on the situation. It is possible to investigate technical options such as cold storage facilities, mobile-based platforms, and precision agriculture tools by conducting a review of the research that have already been conducted. In addition to reducing post-harvest losses through the optimization of supply chain management, the findings imply that agri-tech interventions not only improve farmers' access to broader markets but also minimize post-harvest losses. These measures have led to an increase in the stability of revenue for farmers as well as a reduction in the amount of food that is wasted, which has contributed to an agricultural ecosystem that is more sustainable. However, the study also underlines the necessity of government assistance, sufficient training, and the development of infrastructure in order to fully exploit the promise of these technologies in hill regions.
