Changing Pattern of World Trade and Role of Global Supply Chains: Evidences from Recent Literature
Authors: Singh Kulwinder , Kaur Simran , Shalu Kumari
Published: July 2023

Recent developments in the world economy have substantially increased  interdependence among nations, due to which no nation can isolate itself  completely from the rest of the world. Internationalization of production  has resulted to mutual exchange of goods, services, technologies, people  and investment, generally called as supply-chain trade. These processes  have dramatically influence structure of production networks in global  economy. Traditional domestic production networks have been replaced  by much modernized global ones. The trade that is taking place through  international networks is associated with momentous of global economic  changes. These global supply networks have several economic and non economic effects particularly on the business organization involved and  generally on the economies/nations as a whole. Trading pattern of world  economy has also experiencing changes under the influence on these supply  chains. This paper highlights the role of recent global supply chains in  changing pattern of world trade. Evidences from literature reveal that recent  global supply chains have had a significant effect on pattern of world trade  as Newly Emerging Economies (EMEs) are emerging as manufacturing  trading partners which was not even dreamt about few years back during  1970s and 1980s. Role of supply chain to make these changes incidental is  multidimensional and immense. Paper also highlights role of transnational  corporations (TNCs) in coordinating global trade through creation of global  supply chains and importance of these chains as instrument of trade policies  for firms in developing nations.
Machine Learning: Applications in Agriculture (Crop Yield Prediction, Diease and Pest Detection)
Authors: Mayur Rajaram Salokhe
Published: July 2023

In-depth analysis of machine learning (ML) applications in agriculture is provided in this research study. In addition to agricultural production prediction, disease detection, soil analysis, irrigation control, and automation of farm equipment are some of the areas in which machine learning (ML) approaches are explored. The revolutionary potential of ML in solving agricultural problems is highlighted in the paper. Additionally, it addresses issues with model interpretability, scalability, and ethical implications. ML can contribute to efficient and sustainable agricultural practices that can satisfy the demands of a growing population by increasing acceptance and effectiveness. Crop yield prediction plays an important role in agricultural planning, resource management, and food security. Traditional yield estimation methods rely on historical data, expertise, and manual calculations, and are often slow and inaccurate. Advances in machine learning algorithms and the availability of abundant data have led researchers to focus on developing predictive models that can accurately predict crop yields. As global food demand increases, ensuring crop health and productivity is critical. Diseases and pests pose major challenges to agriculture, leading to large yield losses and economic consequences. Early detection and timely intervention are essential for effective disease and pest control. In recent years, machine learning techniques have shown great potential to revolutionize the agricultural sector by providing accurate and efficient detection methods

The role of negative affects as mediators
in the relationship between stress and mental health in Ecuadorian adolescents
Authors: Moreta-Herrera Rodrigo , Zumba-Tello Doris , de Frutos-Lucas Jaisalmer , Llerena-Freire Stefanía , Salinas-Palma Alexandra , Trucharte-Martínez Almudena
Published: July 2023

Background

Stress and negative emotions have adverse consequences for the mental health of adolescents, an area that deserves further examination. These attributes are associated with each other and regularly interact in different ways. The way they exert an influence can be both direct and indirect, so the general objective is to elucidate the potential mediating effect of negative affects in the relationship between stress and mental health in Ecuadorian adolescents.

Participants and procedure

An explanatory and mediation design based on structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied with 1154 high school students from Ecuador (67.7% women) aged 14 to 19 years (M = 15.69).

Results

In our sample, the presence of stress and negative affect is moderate, while that of mental health problems is low. Accord-ing to our final model, these variables covary with and influence each other in the following way: stress (X) has a direct effect on mental health (Y) and also an indirect effect mediated by negative affect (M). The structural regression model pro-posed explains 63% of the variance in mental health.

Conclusions

Stress exerts a relevant impact on mental health, both through direct and indirect pathways. The indirect pathway, mediat-ed by negative affect, opens the door to novel interventional strategies to foster mental health.
Fear of COVID-19 and future anxiety among Polish university students during a pandemic
Authors: Guszkowska Monika , Bodasińska Anna
Published: July 2023

Background

The pandemic poses a threat to human health and life, and anxiety is the most common psychological problem occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study was to establish the differences in the fear of COVID-19 infection and the future anxiety experienced by students during the pandemic by gender, field of study, place of study and paid em-ployment, and their relationships to psychological well-being.

Participants and procedure

The study involved 1294 university students aged 18-30. The Future Anxiety Scale and short version of the Psychological General Well-Being Index were used. In addition, students stated whether they were concerned about the possibility of con-tracting the coronavirus and falling ill with COVID-19.

Results

One-third of respondents stated that they felt fear of contracting the coronavirus. Women experienced a significantly stronger fear of COVID-19 and future anxiety than men. The observed interaction effects show that female students of medical faculties experienced a higher fear of COVID-19 than women studying fields of study related to physical activity and working students experienced a slightly higher future anxiety. A positive, but weak correlation between fear of COVID-19 and future anxiety was found. Psychological well-being correlated poorly with fear of COVID-19 and moderately with future anxiety.

Conclusions

Because future anxiety was stronger in women, medical students, some master’s students and working people, preventive measures should be taken to prevent excessive anxiety and to promote mental health in these groups.
Excessive brain atrophy in patients with severe aortic stenosis
Authors: Chrostowski Jakub , Majos Marcin , Walczak Andrzej , Majos Agata
Published: July 2023

Purpose

To assess the prevalence of the neuroradiological indices of brain atrophy in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with particular emphasis on the assessment of atrophy areas typical of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).

Material and methods

The group of 34 patients (age 60-90 years, 17 women and 17 men) with severe AS and 50 healthy controls (age 61-85 years, 29 women and 21 men) underwent MRI brain examinations, which were analysed for the neuroradiological indices of brain atrophy.

Results

A slight but statistically significant age difference was found between the study and control groups – about 3 years on average (p = 0.040). Differences between total brain volumes in both the groups did not show statistical significance. In a comparative analysis of the main brain compartments, a statistically significant difference was found only in the volumetry of cerebral hemispheres for both the groups: mean volume of cerebral hemispheres in patients with severe AS was 884.46 cm³, while it was 17 cm³ bigger in the volunteer group, reaching 901.80 cm³ on average (p = 0.043). Comparison of the volumetry of the other major and minor regions and structures according to the clinical and anatomical division revealed statistically non-significant differences. No statistically significant relationships were observed concerning structures correlated with CSVD.

Conclusions

Neuroradiological indices of the brain atrophy do not provide an unequivocal distinction in patients with severe AS. Most observations imply that brain atrophy in patients with severe AS is primarily a consequence of physiological ageing of the brain.
Strategic Managerial Implications of Irritability and Human Relations: Exploring the Role of Gender and Knowledge
Authors: Boateng Peter Agyekum
Published: July 2023

This study explores the impact of irritability in managerial contexts, a state of heightened sensitivity associated with increased feelings of anger and frustration on human relationships in organizations. The research also investigates how gender and knowledge influence the relationship between irritability and human relations. The study reveals significant consequences of irritability on effective management and group dynamics, necessitating the development of strategic interventions that enhance human relations and minimize the negative effects of irritability on managers. To gather information on the issue of irritability, the study employed a systematic review of relevant academic literature from reputable databases. The objective was to determine how gendered factors and knowledge acquisition affect the occurrence and regulation of irritability, as well as their strategic implications for human relationships and organizations. The review identified the influence of gender-related factors on the perception and expression of irritability among managers, specifically societal expectations, gender roles, and power dynamics. Furthermore, the research showed that knowledge acquisition, sharing, and utilization are critical factors for managing irritability and improving managerial effectiveness in human relations. The implications of the study highlight the need for organizations to foster gender diversity, create inclusive work environments, and adopt knowledge-based interventions to mitigate the impact of irritability on managerial relationships and team dynamics. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing irritability in managerial training and development programs, as well as cultivating an organizational culture that supports emotional intelligence and knowledge sharing. Further research should explore specific strategies and interventions that organizations can use to cope with irritability in different managerial contexts.
Human Face Recognition Using Eigen Vector-Based Recognition System
Authors: Afrin Sadia , Tasnim Maria , Islam Md. Rafiqul
Published: July 2023

Face recognition is an algorithm that can recognize or verify a query face among a large number of faces in the enrollment database. Face recognition is a crucial and difficult area of computer vision. This study demonstrates a system that can recognize a human face by comparing the facial structure to that of another individual or a well-known individual, which is accomplished by the use of frontal several summarizations. Many researchers have done their work on face recognition and also applied it by using different methods. We made use of an eigenvector-based recognition system as a method for recognizing faces. The face recognition system is highly accurate and is one of the most powerful surveillance tools ever made. But this face recognition technology is quite costly for developing countries like Bangladesh. In this study, we have used a face recognition system for our security purpose using an eigenvector-based face recognition system with the help of MATLAB software and a Raspberry Pi camera for security purposes which minimizes the cost, and this process we have used is quite affordable

Апология периферии
Authors: Капустин Петр
Published: July 2023

Не столь давно казалось, что проблема границ осталась лишь в философском, художественном и эпистемологическом контексте. У регионов границ не наблюдалось. Они сами воспринимались периферией, где бы ни располагались. Регионы не желают отождествляться с захолустьем, оттого «центры» у нас повсюду – в последнем поселке есть несколько «центров»: торговых, досуговых, культурных, культовых и пр. Мышление исключительно центрами, очагами и узлами оставляет за бортом внимания и рефлексии большую часть мира, состоящего из периферии, провинции, окраины, глубинки... Эту тенденцию пора переосмыслить, разобраться с ключевыми понятиями. Тем более, что сегодня есть веский повод вспомнить о понятии фронтира и заново различить его с границей. Переосмысление же открывает новую, неожиданную картину устройства мира, с которой известные типы деятельностей едва ли знакомы.
О русском и русском стиле
Authors: Багина Елена
Published: July 2023

Внешний и внутренний образ России и русского влияет на становление национального самосознания. Поиски русской идентичности в архитектуре привели в ХIХ веке к появлению многочисленных искусственных «русских стилей», созданных в рамках эклектического метода. Особую роль имело византийское направление, поскольку именно в Византии искали корни русской культуры и русской государственности. Единого русского стиля не существует, как и немецкого или американского. Искусственные поиски русского в архитектуре обусловлены идеологией и актуальной политикой. Мы говорим: русский классицизм, русский авангард, русское барокко, русский модернизм, тем самым подчеркиваем не только местоположение объектов, но и те черты, которые опознаются как русские.

Published: July 2023

Physical activity is important for the physical and mental health of almost everyone. Nordic walking is a physical activity in
which participants use specially designed poles while walking, while the term jogging implies light running at speeds less than
10 km/h. PURPOSE: The aim of this research is to monitor the load intensity in real conditions, using a heart rate monitor
Team Polar System, during nordic walking and jogging and comparing possible differences in heart rate responses after the
fifth minute of activity, at an average speed of 7.5km/h. METHODS: The assessment of heart rate responses for this research
was conducted on the 30 male students, at 2 separate days. RESULTS: The results of the variables used in this study show
statistically significant differences at the level of significance p=.000. From the mean value results (M) it is obvious that the
respondents achieved higher results of heart rate responses during nordic walking compared to the identical tests applied
during jogging. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that both Nordic walking and jogging are beneficial but Nordic
walking contributes more in achieving higher body loads resulting in increased oxygen consumption and thus calories
Key words: load intensity, heart rate, nordic walking, jogging
Spatially explicit re-harmonized terrestrial carbon densities for calibrating Integrated human-Earth System Models
Authors: Narayan Kanishka B. , Di Vittorio Alan V. , Margiotta Evan , Spawn-Lee Seth A. , Gibbs Holly K.
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Soil and vegetation carbon densities play a critical role in global and regional human-Earth system models and MultiSector Dynamics Models. These densities affect variables such as land use change emissions and also influence land use change pathways under climate forcing scenarios where terrestrial carbon is assigned a carbon price. Recently, more spatially explicit, fine resolution data have become available for both soil and vegetation carbon. However, for models to effectively use these data the fine resolution data need to be reharmonized to the initial land use and land cover conditions represented by these models. Without such reharmonization the carbon values may be inaccurate for particular land types and places where the source data and the model disagree on the land use/cover type. Here we present reharmonized soil and vegetation carbon densities both at the 5-arcmin resolution grid cell level and also aggregated to 235 water sheds for 4 land use types and 15 land cover types. These data are particularly useful as initial land carbon conditions for global Multisectoral Dynamic Models (MSD). Moreover, these data include six different statistical states calculated using distinct resampling methods for each of the land use and land cover types. These statistical states are used to define a range of possible carbon values for each land classification, and any state can be used for defining initial conditions of soil and vegetation carbon in MSD models. Users can also estimate any percentile of the carbon distribution defined by these six summary states. We make use of these statistical states to calculate spatially distinct uncertainties in the carbon densities by land type. We have implemented these data in a state-of-the-art multi sector dynamics model, namely the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM), and show that these new data improve several land use responses in the model, especially when terrestrial carbon is assigned a carbon price. The statistical states in our data are validated against similar estimates in the literature both at a grid cell level and at a regional level.
Cosmogenic 10Be in pyroxene: laboratory progress, production rate systematics, and application of the 10Be–3He nuclide pair in the Antarctic Dry Valleys

Published: July 2023

Abstract. Here, we present cosmogenic-10Be and cosmogenic-3He data
from Ferrar dolerite pyroxenes in surficial rock samples and a bedrock core
from the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, with the goal of refining the
laboratory methods for extracting beryllium from pyroxene, further
estimating the 10Be production rate in pyroxene and demonstrating the
applicability of 10Be–3He in mafic rock. The ability to routinely
measure cosmogenic 10Be in pyroxene will open new opportunities for
quantifying exposure durations and Earth surface processes in mafic rocks.
We describe scalable laboratory methods for isolating beryllium from
pyroxene, which include a simple hydrofluoric acid leaching procedure for
removing meteoric 10Be and the addition of a pH 8 precipitation step
to reduce the cation load prior to ion exchange chromatography. 10Be
measurements in pyroxene from the surface samples have apparent 3He
exposure ages of 1–6 Myr. We estimate a spallation production rate for
10Be in pyroxene, referenced to 3He, of 3.6 ± 0.2 atoms g−1 yr−1. 10Be and 3He measurements in the bedrock core
yield initial estimates for parameters associated with 10Be and
3He production by negative-muon capture (f10∗=0.00183
and f3∗fCfD=0.00337). Next, we demonstrate that the 10Be–3He pair in pyroxene can be
used to simultaneously resolve erosion rates and exposure ages, finding that
the measured cosmogenic-nuclide concentrations in our surface samples are
best explained by 2–8 Myr of exposure at erosion rates of 0–35 cm Myr−1. Finally, given the low 10Be in our laboratory blanks
(average of 5.7 × 103 atoms), the reported measurement precision, and
our estimated production rate, it should be possible to measure 2 g samples
with 10Be concentrations of 6 × 104 and 1.5 × 104 atoms g−1 with 5 % and 15 % uncertainty, respectively. With
this level of precision, Last Glacial Maximum to Late Holocene surfaces can
now be dated with 10Be in pyroxene. Application of 10Be in
pyroxene, alone or in combination with 3He, will expand possibilities
for investigating glacial histories and landscape change in mafic rock.
Meteotsunami in the United Kingdom: the hidden hazard
Authors: Lewis Clare , Smyth Tim , Williams David , Neumann Jess , Cloke Hannah
Published: July 2023

Abstract. This paper examines the occurrence and seasonality of meteotsunami in the
United Kingdom (UK) to present a revised and updated catalogue of events
that have occurred since 1750. Previous case studies have alluded to a summer
prevalence and rarity of this hazard in the UK. We have verified and
classified 98 events using a developed set of identification criteria. The
results have revealed a prominent seasonal pattern of winter events which
are related to mid-latitude depressions with precipitating convective
weather systems. A geographical pattern has also emerged, highlighting three
“hotspot” areas at the highest risk from meteotsunami. The evidence
reviewed and new data presented here show that the hazard posed by
meteotsunami has been underestimated in the UK.

Authors: Babar Rameen , Jabeen Shaista
Published: July 2023

The present study aimed to determine predictors of medication adherence among patients diagnosed with Bipolar I Disorder (BP-I). Another aim was to estimate differences with different marital status  in perceived social support, internalized stigmatization and medication adherence. Correlational research design was used and a sample of 103 participants was gathered using purposive sampling method. Data was collected by administering Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI), and General Medication Adherence Scale (GMAS). Results illustrated perceived social support (R2 = .46, F (3, 99) = 28.52, p<0.001) and internalized stigmatization R2 = .49, F (8, 94) = 11.40, p<0.001) to be significant predictors of medication adherence. Furthermore, it was found that married individuals with bipolar I disorder received more support [F (1, 101) = 4.08, p = .04] and were more adherent to medication [F (1, 101) = 6.35, p = .01] as compared to single individuals with bipolar I disorder. However, no significant difference was found between married and single patients in their experience of internalized stigmatization.  Present study highlights the need for awareness campaign where individuals are informed regarding the importance of their support and also the need for educational workshops for skill building in patients with Bipolar I disorder.

Climate change has an impact on human health, and it is generally known that environmental degradation and climate change are related. The utilization of fossil fuels results in more CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, a greenhouse gas that dramatically raises global temperatures. By replacing oxygen in the atmosphere, CO2 emissions have an impact on human health. While CO2 emissions hurt human health, sometimes economic expansion has a favorable impact on public health and vice versa. Using the Autoregressive Distributive Lag model (ARDL) and annual time series data from 1985 to 2020, this study aims to investigate the relationship between CO2 emissions, health spending, and economic growth in Pakistan. The empirical findings of this study demonstrate a substantial long-run and short-run relationship. To use technologies that cause emissions, the government must increase its investment in renewable energy sources and implement carbon taxes.

In 2019, Russian spending on travel abroad reached US$ 36 billion and Ukrainian spending US $8.5 billion. Concerning tourism destinations, Russia and Ukraine account for 4% of international tourist arrivals in Europe but only 1% of Europe’s international tourism receipts.
The number of Russian tourists to Armenia increased in 2022. The article analyzes the impact of the influx of Russian tourists to the Armenian tourism sector due to the Russian-Ukrainian war.
The surveys show that Russian tourists are very satisfied with Armenia, so it is necessary to develop attractive tourist packages to different destinations in Armenia for Russians.
The correlation analysis between total tourists of Armenia and restaurants and hotels
revenue is 0.52, between total tourists and employment is 0.14 and between total tourists and GDP is 0.37. Tourism should contribute to the sustainable development of the country, so aggressive marketing policies should be implemented to promote incoming tourism in Armenia after pandemic.
Dynamic Interrelationships Between EAEU Foreign Trade and Macroeconomic Indicators: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: GALOYAN DIANA , MATEVOSYAN DIANA
Published: July 2023

International trade contributes to the development of Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) as a regional integration alliance and, as stated by classical economists, plays a decisive role in the economic growth of any country (region). Most studies of EAEU international trade flow analysis focus on the trade component. The present paper attempts to display the connection between EAEU trade and macroeconomic indicators. The applied technical methods of statistical analysis have enabled the researchers to evaluate SARIMA models for export and import, and forecast EAEU 2020 trade dynamics based on these models. Then keeping in mind, the idea that the basis of the constructed model is the assumption that the series will maintain its trend, the actual value was simply subtracted from the forecast value to measure the 2020 shock effect. Due to the
fundamental methods of statistical analysis the EAEU member countries’ trade and
macroeconomic indicators elasticity ratios have been calculated, which are likely to measure the impact rate and become new empirical knowledge in assessing the interaction of trade turnover and the economic growth of the countries.
Հայրենիքը և նրա տերը / HOMELAND AND ITS OWNER
Authors: Hovakanyan Yuri
Published: July 2023

Homeland and State are two greatest historical achievements of nations. It would be ideal if those two realities were identical in content and scope. However, such identification is almost impossible.
Both the State and the Homeland require great love, devotion and a sense of the “Owner”. Without that feeling, not only "the garden and the mill", as Hr. Matevosyan used to say, but also the State and the Homeland are destroyed.
Exactly a hundred years ago, the state of Armenia and the Armenian people faced almost the same political problems as today. At that time, blinded by the Treaty of Sevres, we refused the benevolent hand offered by Russia, which later fell like a fist on the head of our people and state. This resulted in the loss of a significant part of our historical homeland. Today we find ourselves in the same situation.
Before the possibility of changing the political vector due to the uncertain promises of the West, there is a real threat of losing Armenian statehood. According to the author, this is primarily because we lack the attitude of an owner towards the State and the Homeland.

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a complicated disease that affects several organs and systems (including the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems), resulting in decreased functional capability. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health concern with large economic consequences to health systems, affecting around 11 to 13% of the world's population.
Methodology: Study is based on case series. Study was conducted at DVVPF’s haemodialysis Unit. 6 patients were considered to be the subjects who were suffering through end stage renal disease.
Procedure: At first ethical clearance was obtained from Institutional Ethical Committee (IEC), which is a government registered agency. The patients were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria from the dialysis care unit of a tertiary care medical college hospital. Once the subjects are included, written informed consent will be taken from the patients. A dialysis patient was chosen as a subject for examination. The pulmonary function test (PFT) and maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) were performed. Following the completion of the dialysis session, post-treatment outcome measures were evaluated. The patient had done exercises under the direction of the therapist. The duration was 15 minutes. The exercise protocol was followed for a month to track the improvement in inspiratory muscle strength.
Result: p values and t values of the outcome measures that were used in the study.
The study shows that there is no significance in MIP as the p value is 0.1647 and t value is 1.499. Besides, the study shows that the relevance of PEFR is considerably significant, the p value is 0.0465 and the t value is 2.271.
Conclusion: According to the above result it is concluded that EMS stimulation that was provided to the subjects improves lung function in CKD patients and also their quality of life.

Key words: Chronic kidney disease, Electrical muscle stimulator, Inspiratory accessory muscles, Dialysis.
