Background: Left ventricular (LV) systolic diastolic function is prognostic in cardiovascular diseases and can be assessed via global longitudinal strain (GLS) on echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). However, GLS by CMR requires the use of expensive software. Longitudinal linear displacement (LLD) may be a simple and inexpensive alternative to GLS, but the two have not been systematically compared. Objective: To compare LLD with GLS and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) in aortic valve disease patients and controls. Methods: We included 44 participants (26 with aortic valve disease, 19 controls). GLS was determined using CVI42 software (Circle Cardiovascular Imaging), while the LLD linear measurements of the distance between the base/apex of the LV included maximum displacement (MD), maximum velocity in early diastole (MVED), atrioventricular junction velocity in diastasis (VDS), and VDS/MVED ratio. Results: DM and MVED were correlated with GLS (r=0.69 and r=0.65, respectively) and LVEF (r=0.47 and r=0.57, p<0.001 for both). DM and MVED showed areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.88 and 0.91, and at the best cut-off point (-0.13 and 0.66), sensitivities of 72.43% and 57.14% and specificities of 80.65% and 87.10%, respectively, compared to GLS. Using LVEF as a reference, we obtained AUC of 0.70 and 0.82, and at the best cut-off point (-0.11 and 0.61), sensitivities of 75.00% and 50.00% and specificities of 72.97% and 78.38%, respectively. Conclusion: LLD demonstrated similar performance to that of GLS. MD derived from LLD was the best parameter during systole, while MVED was the best during diastole. Our findings demonstrate the routine, quick, and inexpensive assessment of diastolic function on CMR.

Published: July 2022

Kenya's Vision projected an economic growth rate of 10 per cent per annum from 2008 to 2030 which has not been achieved to date. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of Health Expenditure on economic growth in Kenya as one of the health indicator hindering growth rate. The study adopted the endogenous growth theory and incorporated key health expenditure into the model as a function of human capital. The research design employed was explanatory and relied on secondary data from World Bank from 1987 to 2018. Applying the regression model, the results revealed that the coefficient of healthcare expenditure was 0.3032,  which was positive and insignificant at a 5 per cent level. This implied that for every one per cent increase in the coefficient of health care expenditure, the GDP growth rate could increase by 0.3032 %.  The Kenya government could put in place health policies promoting citizens' health under social pillar and also increase allocation to health care to promote economic growth

Published: July 2022

This study reports the common problems of weed species that adversely affect the crop productivity of the agriculture crops at a large scale. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of dried application of Chenopodium murale and Coronopus didymus on seed germination and early growth of Hordeum vulgare. The experiment was performed in a randomised block design with three replications under the greenhouse condition in pot culture. Shoots and roots materials were separately dried in shade for 15–20 days, dry powdered shoot and root residues of C. murale and C. didymus were applied at 5 and 10g kg-1 doses to barley seeds in 6” pots with control for three weeks. C. didymus (10g) shoot residues were most inhibitive against germination (31.16%), GVI (0.85), SVI (4.90) and leaf area (3.94 cm2) of barley while 5 g root residues of the weed had least pronounced effect. Root length, shoot length, and dry biomass were most inhibited by C. murale 10 g in both shoot and root residue treatments. Shoot residues were more inhibitive of germination and growth than root residues of both weeds. Chlorophyll accumulation patterns showed mixed results with some treatments even stimulating their concentrations. Root treatments were in general more inhibitive than shoot treatments. All treated seedlings exhibited higher levels of proline accumulation compared to control. At lower dose, C. murale treatments were more inhibitive than C. didymus treatments. There is a great scope of research on these species to isolate and identify the active factors and also to understand their implication in the biocontrol of weeds apart from their potential negative effects on agricultural crops, especially cereal crops, which can be useful to increasing crop production in northern India, namely in Uttar Pradesh

Published: July 2022

Against the background of global climate change, most of the territory of Ukraine today is semi-arid, which causes a decrease in the efficiency of the vegetable growing industry. Due to aridity and elevated temperatures in summer, the normal growth and development of plants, namely vining cucumber, is disrupted. The efficiency of artificial irrigation is also decreasing due to the rise in the price of fresh water and energy carriers for its supply to plants. Soil absorbents and the use of mulching can solve these issues. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of various forms of soil absorbent against the background of the use of various mulching materials of organic and synthetic origin on the productivity of vining cucumber. This study involved field, laboratory, statistical, and computational-analytical methods. Studies have established that upon mulching the soil with black polyethylene film together with the introduction of a soil absorbent in the form of a gel, phenological phases of growth and development occur most quickly in vining cucumber plants, and the fruiting period increases by 11 days compared to the control. The combination of film mulching and absorbent gel allowed increasing the height of the main stem by 15.2%, the number of leaves on the plant by 43.9%, and the leaf area by 26.5% compared to the control version. It was established that the highest commercial yield is provided by mulching the soil with a black film together with the introduction of an absorbent in the form of pellets and gel – 56.6-56.8 t/ha, which is 27.5-27.9% more than the control. The marketability of the yield was 99.2-99.4%. Cucumber fruits for mulching with a film and applying an absorbent in the form of a gel had a high content of dry matter (5.3%) and the sum of sugars (2.20%). Lowest nitrate level (N-NO3) in cucumber fruits provided mulching with black agrofibre without an absorbent (53.0 mg/kg)

Published: July 2022

The relevance of the subject under study is determined by the issues of practical application of charging batteries and accumulators after the completion of the declared technical lifetime, in connection with the pollution problems due to lack of potential for normal disposal. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prospects of development and practical implementation of a system of recycling used batteries and lead-containing batteries, in the context of assessing the potential economic impact of minimising environmental damage while fully implementing the objective. The methodological framework of this study comprises a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The application of methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction in this paper provides sufficient information about the existing principles of recovery of lead-containing batteries and accumulators. The method of generalisation involves the implementation of a qualitative assessment of the data obtained in this study. The method of modelling provides the display of the results obtained using appropriate schemes and diagrams. The available publications of several researchers engaged in scientific development of the issues of disposal of spent lead batteries and accumulators were analysed. The factors of the economic effect that can be achieved by the high-quality recycling of lead-containing batteries were investigated. An approximate assessment of the economic effect with a given direction to minimise damage to the environment was formed. The results obtained in this paper and the conclusions formulated on their basis have practical significance in terms of the prospects of increasing the volume of production of secondary lead by recycling of used batteries and reducing damage to the environment, when it is uncontrollably contaminated by secondary products of their use

Published: July 2022

A Gestão de Custos Interorganizacionais (GCI) é considerada uma importante prática de gestão estratégica adotada pelas empresas em busca de gestão das operações conjuntas, redução de custos de produção, coordenação estruturada de atividades e obtenção de vantagem competitiva sustentável. Assim, este estudo visa analisar os fatores condicionantes da GCI em uma indústria de queijos do oeste de Santa Catarina/Brasil. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa caracteriza-se como descritiva, de estudo de caso, com abordagem qualitativa. O ambiente de estudo está relacionado a uma cadeia de suprimentos do setor leiteiro, formada por uma indústria de queijo e três respectivos fornecedores e clientes. O instrumento de coleta, composto por três roteiros distintos, seguiu o modelo conceitual de fatores condicionantes da GCI proposto por Souza (2008). A coleta de dados foi realizada a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores de nível estratégico. Utilizou-se o software Atlas Ti e a técnica de análise de conteúdo para tratamento dos dados. Os resultados apontam a presença de interdependência, estabilidade, cooperação, benefícios mútuos e confiança na empresa focal em estudo, o que torna a utilização da GCI possível e recomendada a elos a montante. Observou-se, ainda, a presença de redes do tipo democrática e níveis de relacionamento comuns, em que existe uma menor inter-relação entre a empresa focal e seus parceiros, em que fatores como nível de interdependência, confiança, estabilidade, cooperação e benefícios mútuos são baixos e tornam a aplicação da GCI improvável. De forma geral, os achados permitem analisar a propensão das empresas a trabalharem de forma colaborativa.
VALUE CREATION AND DISTRIBUTION IN THE SPECIALTY COFFEE CHAIN: A STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AGENTS IN PARANÁ, BRAZIL AND EUROPE

Published: July 2022

We aimed to understand how the transactions of the specialty coffee value chain are organized between agents in Paraná, Brazil and Europe, with a focus transaction characteristic and measurability for value creation and distribution. 26 semi-structured interviews were performed with members of the specialty coffees global value chain involving the State of Paraná, Brazil, and four European countries. As results, this is a complex, heterogeneous and non-linear chain. What is transacted is a set of intrinsic and extrinsic value attributes. In addition to physical, sensory, socially sustainable production, social and regional attributes, we showed that pleasantness and standardization of the product are important attributes. Such attributes change along the chain and are measured differently by agents, being able to create measurement imbalances along the chain. The non-measurement by agents such as roasters and coffee shops, compromise the transmission of information since these are the first agents to identify the value demanded in the chain. Such imbalances could be identified by observing the set of transactions in the chain as a whole to the detriment of an isolated transaction. As an empirical contribution, we discuss that when exposing which attributes are considered as a value for each transaction, public and private institutions can develop more objective quality assessment mechanisms. Theoretically, we argue that to understand efficiency in global value chains it is necessary to analyze the set of transactions that make up the entire chain and not just the analysis of dyadic transactions between two agents.

A motorcycle frequently called motorbike or two-wheelers, which is the most used than another form of automobiles because of its low price. But another side, this is the most unsafe automobile. The accident can happen for driving fast or drunk driving. Safety and security in vehicle traveling are a pre-eminent concern for all. With the rapid urbanization and staggering growth of transport networks like two-wheeler vehicles, safety on the roads and security on the bike has emerged as an inescapable priority for us. It has expanded the rate of accidents, which leads to several damages with loss of lives. In many circumstances, we cannot able to detect the accident's location. A helmet is a form of protecting gear worn to keep safe the head from injuries. More specifically, the helmet aids the skull in protecting the brain. A smart helmet can detect the accident's locations also save lives and makes two-wheeler driving safer from previously. This paper propounds a smart helmet system to avoid the accident. The system divides into three parts helmet circuit, automobile circuit, and mobile application. At first, the helmet circuit has IR and alcohol detection sensor. The automobile circuit has a 3-axis accelerometer, Bluetooth module, relay, and load sensor. The helmet circuit sends a signal to the automobile circuit to start if the helmet is wearied and no alcohol detects. Then the automobile circuit checks the status of the load to start. 3-axis accelerometer senses crash or hit. After detecting an accident mobile application sends the accident location automatically to police and emergency contact number via the database.

El proyecto para el Puerto de la Paz realizado por el arquitecto neoclásico Silvestre Pérez en Abando, Bilbao, es uno de los sugestivos del urbanismo de la Ilustración española a pesar de que la única planta autógrafa conservada ha limitado los estudios posibles sobre ella al análisis de su trazado urbano. Una relectura del proyecto basada en la reconstrucción de la topografía originaria del lugar – fuertemente alterado tras la construcción del ensanche bilbaíno pocas décadas después en el mismo lugar – ha permitido aportar luz justamente a aquellos aspectos del proyecto más genuinos pero menos entendidos por los estudios hasta ahora realizados. Esta aproximación ha permitido revelar la minuciosidad de la propuesta y la precisión respecto a la topografía con la que está desarrollado el proyecto, abriendo el camino a una reconstrucción volumétrica precisa del mismo que se ha materializado en la construcción de una maqueta bajo la coordinación de XXXXX, en el XXXX de la XXXXX.

Integración de naturaleza y arquitectura (II). Aspectos topológicos en el modo de hacer arquitectura de Álvaro Siza. El Centro Gallego de Arte Contemporáneo, Santiago de Compostela, España (1988-1999)
Authors: Melián García Ángel
Published: July 2022

El análisis del proyecto y la obra del Centro Gallego de Arte Contemporáneo y su entorno, permite tomar conciencia del hacer arquitectura de Álvaro Siza. Al estudiar esta obra maestra, percibimos que la forma surge esencialmente como consecuencia del encuentro poético que fusiona aspectos prácticos y dimensiones mentales, el conocimiento y el deseo, el pensamiento y el sentimiento. Siza se siente atraído hacia un útil representativo como la topología, intrínsecamente relacionada, no a unas percepciones sensoriales restringidas, sino a la manera de mirar al mundo bajo la óptica de las totalidades, en el que la realidad se entiende como un todo vivo donde cada elemento está relacionado con los demás de una manera decisiva para el todo y para el resto de los componentes. Este modo de ver y sentir da lugar a un concepto de espacio no extensivo ni geométrico, sino más bien basado en un proceso perceptivo de configuraciones complejas.

Hypogene caves in the Plavecký hradný vrch Hill (Western Slovakia, Central Europe) were formed by waters ascending along faults in fractured Triassic carbonates related to the horst-graben structure at the contact of the Malé Karpaty Mountains and the NE part of the Vienna Basin. The Plavecká jaskyňa and Pec caves mostly contain horizontal passages and chambers with flat corrosion bedrock floors, fissure discharge feeders, wall water-table notches, replacement pockets, as well as a few other speleogens associated with sulfuric acid speleogenesis. The low-temperature sulfuric acid development phases of the Plavecká Jaskyňa are also indicated by the presence of sulfate minerals (i.e., gypsum and jarosite).Subaerial calcite popcorn rims were precipitated from water condensation at the edges of feeding fissures that were still active as thermal vents when the water table dropped. Hydrogen sulfide involved in the sulfuric acid speleogenesis was likely derived from anhydrites and/or hydrocarbon reservoirs with sulfate-saline connate waters in the fill of the adjacent Vienna Basin. It ascended to the surface along deep-rooted sub-vertical fault zones at the contact of the Vienna Basin with neighboring mountains. Three cave levels at 295 to 283 m asl in the Pec Cave, and five levels at 225 to 214 m asl in the Plavecká jaskyňa corresponded to phases of stable local erosional base levels in the bordering part of the Vienna Basin, most likely during periods of strongly decelerated and/or interrupted subsidence. Cave levels separated by vertical differences of only a few meters may also be related to the Pleistocene climatic cycles. The subhorizontal parts of the Pec Cave are probably of late Early Pleistocene age (˃0.99–1.07 Ma?). The two highest levels of the Plavecká jaskyňa developed during the early Middle Pleistocene (˃600 ka). Fine-grained sediments in the passage at 225 m asl with normal magnetic polarity contain jarosite. The middle level of the Plavecká jaskyňa at 220 m asl was formed in the mid-Middle Pleistocene, while the lower and lowermost levels formed in the late Middle Pleistocene (˃270 ka). The water table in the lowermost cave level probably dropped after the tectonic reactivation of the Podmalokarpatská zníženina Depression just in the front of a marginal horst structure of the Malé Karpaty Mountains.

Hide to Show: ‘Memefying’ Live Music
Authors: Gielen Pascal , Moore Thomas R.
Published: July 2022

Michael Beil’s scenic composition Hide to Show (2021) thematizes a basic principle of social media, namely hiding mistakes, failures, or any vulnerable matters with the purpose of simulating an ever-perfect, active, and successful image and profile. Beil’s piece, with memes and memefication as a guiding principle and compositional format, plays along the hyperreal boundary between live performance and digital re-representation. The audience is continuously misled and often left guessing between real and digital, confusing a real body with its projected simulation and live performed music with a (pre)recording. Perhaps more misleading, the live music and vocals are frequently processed in real time, too. Mistakes, but also individual interpretations and authentic appropriations of the piece are smoothed out or erased. Beil’s composition may realize with this ‘fixing’ technique one ideal of today’s live performer: guaranteed perfectionism on stage. In this article, a performer-researcher from Hide to Show and a sociologist of culture and politics analyze the possibilities and limitations of digital art and Internet culture found in Beil’s work. What (new) requirements are demanded of the live performers and technicians? And how does digital simulation affect the artistic experience and aesthetics of contemporary art music and of social life itself?

Linking access with success in South African higher education has become vital. There is a clear necessity to identify and rigorously research factors contributing to student success that are within the institutions sphere of influence so that institutional policies and practices can be intentionally aligned and designed to create conducive conditions for student success This study documents the key indicators of student success based on a sample of BComm Accounting students enrolled at CTI Education group (MGI)/Durban Campus from 2009 to 2011. Using data collected from 54 students enrolled in the three groups, this study investigates whether or not matriculation aggregate scores as well as selected individual matric subject scores (including Mathematics proficiency, English language proficiency and Accounting) and demographic information (such as gender, race, socio-economic status, and first-generational status) are key indicators of success for students enrolled in BComm Accounting at CTI Education group/Durban Campus from 2009 to 2011. Qualitative and quantitative data have been collected and incorporated into the econometric model. Qualitative data such as gender, ethnicity and parent level of education have been used as dummy variables and were analysed using either Pearson or Spearman’s correlation tests. Due to the disparity in performance of students, the researcher sought to use the descriptive econometric model. The data (qualitative and quantitative) have been analysed using mostly descriptive methods and to a less extent the Ordinary Least Squares through Stata software. The findings of this study show that: • In all three samples average matric score proved to be a significant indicator of student academic success at the end of the first-year; • In all three samples, the first step of the model (Gender, ethnicity and first generational of students) did not explain a significant amount of the percentage of student academic success at the end of the first-year for the three cohorts; • From 2009 to 2011, the overall results suggested a significant difference between students who lived close to campus and those who travelled a long distance to campus; • In all three samples the Age variable did not explain a significant correlation between the variable Age and student academic success at the end of the first-year.
An investigation into the influence of quality and standardisation of merchandising activities in grocery retailing chains on impulse purchasing in the Durban area

Little is known about the implications of merchandising activities of retailers, despite the fact that retailing plays a vital role in the economy. South African retailers, who are the only players in their domestic territory, need to be aware of the economic situation and of the expansion strategies of the main international retail actors. Unlike South African retailers, international companies are experienced in the world-wide grocery retailing field and have shown a lot of determination in expanding their presence and power on an international scale. This dissertation illustrates the landscape of grocery retailing today, and the risk faced by a reactive attitude by South African retailers in the face of international competition. The dissertation provides a framework, and a complete description, for integrating merchandising activities, which include visual merchandising activities, as a crucial tool to influence consumers' buying behaviour, through their impulse buying behaviour. This research project has, as its main purpose, the identification of a relationship between merchandising activities in the grocery retailing field and the impulse buying behaviour of shoppers. The dissertation addresses three issues for efficiently managmg merchandising activities, namely, the importance of the level of standardised merchandising, the role of perceived
An analysis of the factors that influence the possibility of incurring bad debts in medical practices of sole practitioners
Authors:   , Kharwa Saleem

The purpose of this study was to determine and analyse the factors that influence bad debts in medical practices of sole practitioners. The objective of the research was to establish a system of accounts receivable management which would lead to improved cash flows in such practices and ultimately influence a reduction in the cost of medical care. To be able to establish such a system in medical practices conducted by sole practitioners, it was necessary to study the procedures used in the granting of credit, determine the collection policies in existence and ascertain the financial training and experience of staff employed. The research data, collected by means of a questionnaire, found that accounts receivable management in such medical practices is not of an acceptable standard. Furthermore, the lack of trained staff leads to poor collection techniques and lengthy debt collection periods. These factors increase the demand for financing, which in turn leads to increased fixed costs in the form of interest payments on overdraft facilities. Consequently, this impacts negatively on the cash flow cycle of the practice. In order to improve and speed up collections from debtors, recommendations are made in respect of the method in which accounts receivable should be managed in such medical practices. These include, among others, the separation of debt collections from other functions within the practice, the use of electronic media to collect accounts receivable, as well as the introduction of a course in basic business management within the curriculum of the Bachelor of Medicine. It is envisaged that the proper management of accounts receivable would assist in reducing the cost of medical care to the consumer.

Trace Amine-Associated Receptor 1 Agonists for Schizophrenia
Authors: Vannabouathong Christopher , Picheca Lory , Dyrda Peter
Published: July 2022

TAAR1 agonists are an emerging drug class in the treatment of schizophrenia as they may offer a novel mechanism of action for symptom management without blocking dopamine D2 receptors, unlike currently available antipsychotic medications that act primarily via D2 binding.
Two TAAR1 agonists are currently in clinical development for schizophrenia. The first is ulotaront, a TAAR1 full agonist with 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A agonist activity that is administered orally once daily, and the other is ralmitaront, a TAAR1 partial agonist that is also administered orally once daily.
The published clinical trial evidence on TAAR1 agonists currently only pertains to ulotaront, which includes a 4-week, phase II, placebo-controlled randomized trial on patients with acute exacerbation of schizophrenia and a 26-week, open-label extension study of this same trial. These studies demonstrated improvements across disease-specific and global impression scales following treatment with ulotaront, with statistically significant differences compared to placebo, and no increased risk of the side effects (extrapyramidal symptoms and metabolic changes) associated with traditional D2-binding antipsychotic therapies.
There is currently no cost information available for TAAR1 agonists.
Ulotaront is currently undergoing phase III trials and, though it is not currently approved in any country and the date of Health Canada licensing and marketing in Canada is not yet known, it is expected to be the first TAAR1 agonist for schizophrenia in the Canadian market. Ulotaront received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA in 2019 to expedite its development and the drug’s manufacturer is planning to file a New Drug Application with the FDA in 2023. Ralmitaront is currently in phase II trials, which are expected to be completed in 2023.

AbstractSalah satu fungsi penting dari sistem informasi akuntansi adalah pengendalian internal. Lemahnya sistem pengendalian internal di beberapa koperasi yang ada di Kecamatan Payangan juga mengakibatkan karyawan memiliki kesempatan untuk melakukan kecurangan yang dapat merugikan perusahaan. Kinerja merupakan hasil kerja yang dicapai oleh karyawan dalam melakukan tugas sesuai dengan tanggung jawabnya. Melalui pencapaian masing–masing individu maka perusahaan dapat menghasilkan kinerja seutuhnya dan mencapai keberhasilan sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkan perusahaan. Untuk meningkatkan kinerja koperasi sangatlah penting untuk mengetahui pengaruh penerapan sistem informasi akuntansi dan pengendalian internal dalam meningkatkan kinerja perusahaan dan meningkatkan produktivitas perusahaan. Populasi pada penelitian ini berjumlah 531 anggota koperasi yang bekerja pada koperasi di Kecamatan Payangan.
