EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE DURABILITY OF CANNING MACHINERY FOR LONG-TERM PRESERVATION OF PRODUCTS
Authors: Paladiychuk Yuriy , Stetsyuk Pavlo
Published: May 2024

To ensure the high quality of the canning process, having reliable equipment, including canning machines, is critically important to avoid potential negative consequences. However, existing designs of working elements and the materials they are made of limit productivity improvement due to their limited service life. Wear of working elements such as sealing rollers, supporting plates, and canning chucks leads to a decrease in the quality of the manufactured products, downtime, and increased equipment maintenance costs.

During the research of canning machinery operation at food processing enterprises, we conducted an analysis and identified the main factors contributing to the most pronounced wear of working rollers and other components of the canning mechanism. As a result of our studies, it was determined that the most significant impact on the service life of working elements is exerted by the corrosive-aggressive environment of the food industry. As for canning rollers, wear in the form of increased width and depth of working grooves, as well as an increase in surface roughness, is characteristic.

With the use of modern technical means, we have identified an optimal methodology for evaluating the degree of wear of the working surface of canning rollers. Canning rollers typically undergo fatigue wear, which is the result of abrasive and oxidative effects of the food environment.

We analyzed various methods to enhance wear resistance and concluded that the most common methods to increase service life include:

1. Restoring the profile through grinding.

2. Restoring the profile through welding and subsequent grinding.

3. Strengthening the profile through spraying.

4. Using stronger materials.
Relationship Between Substance Abuse and Sexual Violence among Women in Informal Urban Settlements in Nairobi City County, Kenya
Authors: Sitati Vivian , Kipnusu Robert C.
Published: May 2024

Sexual assault is against the law in Kenya. Yet many people, particularly women and girls, continue to experience Sexual and Gender-based Violence (SGBV) without receiving much assistance, suggesting that the regulations in place are ineffective. Drug and substance abuse has also become prevalent, especially among persons living within informal urban settings. This with the attendant rise in cases of domestic and SGBV means that there is a growing need for a deeper understanding of the nexus between drug abuse and sexual violence against women, and in particular, within Nairobi's informal urban settlements. Many women in Kenya have experienced sexual or physical assault. The research sought to determine the relationship between substance abuse and sexual violence among women in Nairobi City County's informal urban settlements; The Social Learning Theory guided this research adopting a correlation study design with a target population of 139 women in the groups who have experienced GBV and SGBV. Using stratified selection and proportional sampling approaches, the Yamane formula was utilized to calculate the sample size of 106 respondents. Information was gathered through questionnaires. Descriptive statistics as well as inferential statistics like Pearson moment correlation and chi-square analysis, were used to analyse the data. From the study, it was indicated that both substance abuse and sexual violence have tremendous negative consequences on the health, socioeconomic, emotional, and psychological disposition of a person. The study also demonstrated the rise in drug and substance abuse led to an increase in cases of sexual violence. This shows that efforts to combat drug use and substance abuse have not been successful. Therefore, the study suggests that the government develop more potent methods of combating drug use and substance abuse

Authors: Lufyagila Beston , Ruambo Francis A.
Published: May 2024

Deep learning has received much interest in the field of healthcare in recent years. Health care plays a significant role in delivering services and practices that promote, maintain, and restore health of an individual. However, applying deep learning in healthcare is still an exciting area of research. This paper explores the application of deep learning, and henceforth, it highlights new perspectives in healthcare by reviewing published state-of-the-art research works from four scholarly databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed, and Google Scholar. The selected studies were from April 2014 to April 2024, and based on the predefined quality assessment criteria, 16 articles were thoroughly reviewed after the preliminary extraction, review, and screening phases. The study’s findings indicate that deep learning has been applied in healthcare, particularly in medical images, digital consultation, Electronic medical records, and genomics. Furthermore, challenges such as deep learning cannot replicate the human touch and emotional connection that patients often seek in their healthcare journey, and data privacy are highlighted. Lastly, new perspectives, such as leveraging emerging technologies like Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and federated learning, are suggested to address these challenges

Published: May 2024

This paper examines the spatiotemporal trends and patterns of the Synthetic Fertility Index (SFI) in African countries from 1950 to 2023. The study used data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) program and Atlasocio.com to analyse the evolution of fertility rates in Africa. The findings reveal a significant decline in fertility rates over the past decades, with many countries experiencing a shift from high SFI exceeding 6 children per woman in the mid-20th century to levels below 3 children per woman by 2023. However, regional disparities persist, with North African countries and South Africa consistently demonstrating lower SFIs compared to their counterparts in West Africa, Central Africa, and East Africa. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing persistent regional disparities in fertility rates through targeted policies and interventions aimed at improving access to education and healthcare, promoting gender equality, and addressing cultural norms and practices that perpetuate high fertility rates. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the demographic transition taking place in Africa and highlights the need for continued research and policy action to promote socio-economic development in the continent

POTENSI DISFUNGSI KETENTUAN PIDANA TENTANG PENGHINAAN TERHADAP ORANG MATI MENGGUNAKAN TEKNOLOGI INFORMASI
Authors: Widodo Widodo , Utami Wiwik
Published: May 2024

The honor of deceased people is protected by the Indonesian Criminal Code so that if there is defamation against him, the perpetrator will be punished. However, if defamation is carried out using Information Technology, it is not necessarily punishable, because there are differences in the media used. The researchers concluded that article 27 (3) the Information and Electronic Transaction Act can be used to prosecute perpetrators, but it turns out there are multiple interpretations in the legal regulations and the contents of the Joint Decree (SKB) of the Chief of  Indonesian Police, the Attorney General and the Minister of Communication and Information which have the potential to make this article dysfunctional. It is necessary to examine the existence of Article 27 (3) as a basis for investigating and prosecuting perpetrators of criminal acts of defamation of deceased people using Information Teccnology, and the normative weaknesses of the SKB editorial in number 3 letters a and g. The doctrinal research method with a statutory approach is used to examine these 2 problems. Legal materials in the form of Article 27 (3) and its explanation, SKB, and other legal materials were analysed using content analysis techniques. There is no conflict between the contents and the explanation of Article 27 (3), so that it can be used as a basis for investigating and prosecuting perpetrators of defamation of deceased people. The contents of the SKB have multiple interpretations, there is a conflict between the contents of the SKB and the Explanation of Article 27 (3) because in number 1 the SKB only refers to the provisions of Article 310 of the Indoensian Criminal Code, not to defamation as regulated by the Criminal Code. The existence of this SKB has the potential to cause dysfunction of Article 27 (3) which is now Article 27A of the Information and Electronic Transaction Act as the basis for processing criminal law against perpetrators of defamation of deceased people using  Information Teccnology. There needs to be a change in the contents of the SKB or a material review of the SKB is needed at the Supreme Court so that it is easy to apply Article 27A.

Dietary consumption of polyphenols, found in fruits and vegetables, has been associated with a potentially protective role in colorectal cancer (CRC). To establish the state of knowledge regarding advances in polyphenols, CCR and action mechanisms a systematic review and an analysis of information available until 2021 were made. Results indicate that only some polyphenols have in vitro, preclinical and clinical studies. These studies showed that polyphenols will inhibit human CRC cell invasion, migration, metastasis formation, tumor growth. Action mechanisms involve signaling pathways that modulate genes, proteins, markers or cell death inductors, like the AMPK pathway, caspases, Bcl-2, p-Akt, and NF-kB, lysosomal and mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular cycle arrest, among the best known and implied in CRC. Overall, in vitro, preclinical and clinical data on phytochemicals against CRC are still not sufficient and therefore the preventive or therapeutic impacts of dietary phytochemicals on CRC development deserve further research.

Alvar Aalto mainonnan häilyvällä rajalla
Authors: Mäkelä Asko
Published: May 2024

Tässä artikkelissa esitän, että Alvar Aallon markkinointitapojen perustana oli 1920-luvun uusi amerikkalainen psykologinen mainonta. Uutena lähteenä tähän käytän Aallon ystävän Gustaf Strengellin vuonna 1924 julkaistua kirjaa Nykyajan ilmoitusreklaami. Myös Le Corbusierin ja László Moholy-Nagyn uuden mainonnan kaltaisilla näkemyksillä oli Aaltoon vahva vaikutus. Aallon markkinoinnissa modernin tyylin arkkitehtuurivalokuvilla oli poikkeuksellisen iso asema. Aalto toteutti propagandaa tuotannostaan testaten Arkkitehtiliiton sääntöjä ja ammattikunnassa vallinnutta mainoskielteisyyttä. Artek mainosti tuotemerkin kaltaiseksi muuttunutta Alvar Aalto -nimeä ja arkkitehtuuria epäsuorasti Aaltojen osittain omistaman ”epäitsekkään kulttuuri-instituution” varjolla. Henkilökohtaisia ominaisuuksiaan Alvar Aalto osasi käyttää tehokkaasti tuotantonsa markkinoinnissa. Hän kehitti markkinointitavan, jota nimitän ”Aallon mielikuvaleikiksi”. Sen mallintamisessa sovellan Evert Gummessonin ja Erving Goffmanin teorioita mielikuva- ja suhdemarkkinoinnista. Alvar Aallon suhdemarkkinointia voi pitää varhaisena brändin rakentamisena. Se sisälsi tunnetun tuotemerkin lisäksi vahvan julkisuudessa rakentuneen mielikuvan Alvar Aallon arkkitehtitoimiston tuotteista ja aatemaailmasta. Tutkimuksen perusteella voi todeta, että Alvar Aallon mainonnan ja markkinoinnin tavat olisivat päteviä myös nyt 2020-luvulla.
In this article I suggest that Alvar Aalto's marketing methods were based on the new American psychological advertising of the 1920s. As a new source for this, I use the 1924 book Nykyajan ilmoitusreklaami (Modern Advertising) by Aalto's friend Gustaf Strengell. Views such as those of Le Corbusier and László Moholy-Nagy on the new advertising also had a strong influence on Aalto. In Aalto's marketing, architectural photographs in the modern style played an exceptionally important role.Aalto carried out propaganda about its production, testing the rules of the Finnish Architects' Association and the ban on advertising that prevailed in the trade union. Artek promoted the Alvar Aalto name and architecture, which became like a brand, indirectly under the guise of a "selfless cultural institution" partly owned by the Aaltos.Alvar Aalto knew how to use his personal qualities effectively in the marketing of his production. He developed a marketing method that I call "Aalto's imagination game". In modeling it, I apply Evert Gummesson's and Erving Goffman's theories on image and relationship marketing.Alvar Aalto's relationship marketing can be considered early brand building. It involved not only a well-known brand but also a strong public image of the products and ideals of Alvar Aalto's architectural practice. The research suggests that Alvar Aalto's advertising and marketing practices would still be valid in the 2020s.

The role of the pharmacist in the system of rational use of drugs for responsible self-treatment
Authors: Kulikova O. A. , Lavrenteva L. I. , Socolova O. V.
Published: May 2024

Relevance. In the healthcare system of the Russian Federation, there is the use of drugs by the population without a physician’s appointment (including prescription leave), as well as violation of the principles of responsible self-medication. Under the current conditions, a pharmacist can play a key role in providing pharmaceutical care within the framework of responsible self-treatment and providing citizens with accessible information on the rational use of drugs.

Objective. The study of the role of the pharmacist in the system of rational use of drugs by visitors of pharmacy organizations.

Materials and methods. The study used methods of content analysis, sociological research (observation), comparative and mathematical statistical analysis. Regulatory documents regulating the activities of pharmacists were analyzed, as well as monitoring of pharmacy visitors who applied to a pharmacist in order to purchase drugs.

Results. The professional standards of pharmacists contain requirements for ensuring or organizing the rational use of drugs by the population for the purpose of responsible self-treatment. The majority of pharmacy visitors (63.8%) purchase drugs bypassing a medical professional. A significant proportion of buyers (58.7%) do not know or approximately know what caused their poor health. At the same time, the proportion of pharmacy visitors who assume that they do not need to be prescribed by a medical professional is quite high and amounts to 41.3%.

Conclusion. A low level of readiness of pharmacy visitors for the rational use of drugs has been established and the need for regular educational work on the part of pharmacists on responsible self-medication has been identified.
