Authors: Klius Yuliia , Nizhnikov Illya
Published: August 2024

The article substantiates the idea that corporate social responsibility and business social responsibility are separate types of socially responsible behavior of a company. If corporate social responsibility is a variant of socially responsible behavior, the focus of which remains ensuring social security of employees and their families, continuous professional development of personnel, creation of effective and safe workplaces, maintaining the quality of manufactured products, then business social responsibility is another variant, in which compliance with legislation and work with the team are considered as something self-evident. In this case, responsibility to the territory of presence and the local community is brought into the problematic field. Analysis of the mechanisms for implementing social responsibility in practice shows that at the current stage of development, socially responsible business behavior should be elevated to the rank of the main direction of state policy. To achieve the political, economic and social goals facing society, it is necessary to consistently implement large-scale measures to create a social infrastructure of industrial regions, protect and expand the reproduction of natural resources, and create conditions for sustainable socio-economic development. The definition of the concept "Social responsibility of business" has been clarified and it is assumed that this is a mandatory complex activity of industrial enterprises aimed at achieving the goals of sustainable development of the territories of presence, ensuring environmental sustainability, forming human capital and creating a partnership that shares the burden of government spending on social policy. The amount of financial participation directly depends on the total amount of damage caused by production activities. Also, social responsibility of business is understood as mandatory comprehensive activity of industrial enterprises that shares the burden of public expenditure on social policy and is aimed at achieving the goals of sustainable development of the territories of presence, ensuring environmental sustainability, developing human capital, and forming a global partnership.

Authors: Fariz Adlan , Rudiansyah Mohammad , Kurniaatmaja Enita Rakhmawati , Wulandari Nanik Tri , Pratiwi Dewi Indah Noviana
Published: August 2024

Background: The 2018 Riskesdas report revealed that the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 0.38% of Indonesia’s population. Anemia frequently complicates CKD, especially in patients undergoing regular hemodialysis. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (RET-He) assesses hemoglobin content in reticulocytes, indicating iron availability for erythropoiesis in the bone marrow. CKD significantly impacts patients' socio-economic status, heightening morbidity and mortality while diminishing quality of life. The relationship between RET-He and the quality of life in CKD patients on routine hemodialysis remains unclear.
Objective: To investigate the correlation between RET-He and quality of life in CKD patients undergoing routine hemodialysis.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational analytical study with data from medical records of CKD patients receiving routine hemodialysis between October 1st and October 30th, 2021. The Spearman correlation test was used for analysis.
Results: This study included 92 patients, consisting of 40 males and 52 females, with a median age of 50 years and RET-He values at 31. Quality of life metrics included physical function (800, range: 0-1000), physical limitations (300, range: 0-400), body pain (175, range: 75-255), general health (475, range: 225-600), vitality (320, range: 200-400), social function (175, range: 75-200), emotional limitations (300, range: 100-300), and mental health (380, range: 160-500). The correlation analysis revealed no significant relationships: physical function (p=0.359), physical limitations (p=0.813), body pain (p=0.373), general health (p=0.547), vitality (p=0.616), social function (p=0.828), emotional limitations (p=0.482), and mental health (p=0.136).
Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between RET-He levels and the quality of life in CKD patients undergoing regular hemodialysis.
Severe Clinical Impact of Multiple Wasp Stings: A Case Report of Acute Kidney Injury
Authors: Fauziyah Hana , Nasution Bayu Rusfandi , Nasution Alwi Thamrin
Published: August 2024

Wasp stings are prevalent in Indonesia and have occasionally resulted in fatalities. Wasp stings can potentially induce a small localized allergic response, systemic reactions, or even life-threatening illnesses. Receiving several stings from wasps can cause systemic inflammation, resulting in acute kidney injury. We present a case of a 51-year-old female who experienced severe renal impairment as a result of repeated wasp stings. Following the stings, the patient promptly obtained medical attention. However, on the second day after the incident, the patient's renal function declined and experienced anuria. The ultrasonography indicates the presence of nephritis. The patient presented with 103 sting wounds, which resulted in local reactions and were accompanied by systemic symptoms. The patient was administered high-dose steroids and underwent five intermittent hemodialysis sessions, which effectively restored their kidney function. Evidence of enhanced renal function was demonstrated through the restoration of normal urine production, elevated glomerular filtration rate, and significant clinical improvements in the patient. This case illustrates the severe impact on the kidney of a generalized wasp sting and the effect of promptly receiving medical treatment following an enormous wasp sting on the patient's prognosis. Initiating dialysis promptly is crucial for rapidly eliminating toxins and thus preserving renal function.

Authors: Diantara Litra , Arief Syarkani
Published: August 2024

This study aims to empirically analyze the influence of competence, motivation, and workload on employee performance with work discipline as a moderation variable. This research was conducted at the Kampar Regency Regional Secretariat involving 178 respondents who were selected as a sample. The data analysis technique used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the help of SmartPLS software. The results of this study show that competence and motivation have a significant influence on work discipline. Work discipline, in turn, has a significant impact on employee performance. In addition, workload is also found to have a significant influence on employee performance, both directly and indirectly through work discipline. In this study, work discipline plays a role as a moderation variable that strengthens the relationship between competence, motivation, and workload and employee performance. These findings highlight the importance of work discipline in the process of improving employee performance, where competence and motivation are the main driving factors that contribute to optimal performance. The practical implications of this study show that organizations, especially management, need to pay attention to the development of employee competencies and motivation as well as effective workload management. This is important to ensure that work discipline can be optimized as a moderation factor in improving employee performance. With the right strategy, organizations can achieve better performance improvements and support the achievement of strategic goals.
LIPID PEROXIDATION AND THE TOTAL ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY IN THE PLASMA OF SHETLAND PONY MARES AND STALLIONS INVOLVED IN RECREATIONAL HORSEBACK RIDING: ROLE OF PHOTOPERIOD AND EXERCISE
Authors: Kurhaluk Natalia , Tkaczenko Halina , Tkachova Iryna , Lukash Oleksandr
Published: August 2024

This study focuses on the photoperiod-induced variability in the levels of biomarkers of lipid peroxidation (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS) and the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the blood of Shetland pony mares and stallions before and after exercise. We have analyzed the effect of photoperiods and exercise on the levels of TBARS and TAC in the blood of Shetland pony mares and stallions involved in recreational horseback riding in the central Pomeranian region (Pomeranian Voivodeship, northern part of Poland). Twenty-one healthy adult Shetland ponies (11 mares and 10 stallions) aged 6.5 ± 1.4 years old were used in this study. All horses participated in recreational horseback riding. Training started at 10:00 AM, lasted 1 hour, and consisted of a ride of cross country by walking (5 min), trotting (15 min), walking (10 min), trotting (10 min), walking (5 min), galloping (5 min), and walking (10 min). Blood was drawn from the jugular veins of the animals in the morning, 90 minutes after feeding, while the horses were in the stables (between 8:30 and 10 AM), and immediately after the exercise test (between 11 AM and 12 AM). Blood samples were taken once per season for one year: summer and winter. The level of lipid peroxidation was determined by quantifying the concentration of 2-thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) for determining the malonic dialdehyde (MDA) concentration. The TAC level in samples was estimated by measuring the TBARS level after Tween 80 oxidation. In the stallions and mares before exercise (at rest) in the summer photoperiod, we obtained minimum TBARS values, while maximum levels were determined in the winter photoperiod. In our study, the TAC level illustrated the baseline levels of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defense systems, which were different in the mares than in the stallions (statistically significant in the winter photoperiod) both before and after exercise (winter photoperiod). The results of the current study demonstrated that changes in the lipid peroxidation and the total antioxidant capacity in the blood of Shetland ponies are photoperiod-, sex-, and exercise-dependent. The maximum statistically significant values for the effect of the photoperiod-exercise combination defined as the F values were observed. The multivariate analysis of the influence of the three parameters: photoperiods, sex, and exercise on the lipid peroxidation and the total antioxidant capacity in the blood of the ponies indicated the leading role mainly of the photoperiod factor, and next the exercise and sex factors.

Published: August 2024

The development of biotechnological methods of disposal of pig waste products is relevant at the current stage. However, the high cost of investment and operation of such technologies limits their application. Therefore, owners of pig farms are constantly looking for compromise solutions that would, on the one hand, ensure compliance with technological requirements for manure removal, and on the other hand, not pollute the environment.

The purpose of the work is to improve existing technologies and develop innovative approaches to biotechnological methods of manure disposal.

Scientific research was carried out at the piggery of Agroprime Holding LLC of the Odesa region with a capacity of 30,000 heads per year. The considered technology of using biological preparations De-Scentase and Complesin for descentization of manure in underground baths, manure storages, manure sites of the complex. The content of gases in the manure subfloor bath of the piggery due to the use of biological preparations was determined. The conducted monitoring of unpleasant scents and harmful gases confirmed the expediency of using new methods of neutralizing unpleasant scents. It was established that the reconstruction of the separator station by installing a metal hangar and a water-dispersion filtration chamber ensured the neutralization and release of scentous gases into the environment and did not affect the ecological state of the environment negatively.

On the basis of the conducted research, the method of wide application of the biological preparation for the disposal of manure has been developed.

The improved technology of manure disposal at the piggery, which involves the addition of the microbial destructor drug Complesin to underground baths, as well as to manure storages and manure sites, helps to reduce the release of harmful gases and accelerates the disposal of manure.

The technology of utilization of liquid and solid fraction of manure by using biological preparation and vermiculture is highlighted. The experience of using equipment for underground application of liquid manure to fields is presented.
USE OF ANIMAL PRODUCT PROCESSING WASTE IN OYSTER MUSHROOM PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Chernyshov Ihor
Published: August 2024

The article presents a study of the possibility of using animal husbandry processing waste as a nutrient additive to compositions of synthetic fermented substrate for the cultivation of oyster mushrooms. Wastes that are of low value for use in other branches of agriculture and industry and are mainly disposed of as solid waste by burial were investigated.

In modern economic conditions, it is important to reduce the cost of the substrate, one of the possible ways to achieve this goal is the use of cheaper raw materials. Meals and bran are traditionally used to balance the substrate in terms of nitrogen content. These products are waste products from the processing of agricultural crops and are also classically used to balance the rations of farm animals and poultry. This creates competition between industries and increases the price of raw materials, which ultimately causes an increase in product prices. Therefore, the search and research of alternative balancing components for the preparation of oyster mushroom substrate, which are not competitive for animal husbandry, is relevant. The analysis of the obtained results made it possible to form the following conclusions: their use as additives for the preparation of the substrate will allow them to be used in further processing, with the obtaining of additional products of mushroom production, the study of the growth of colonies of oyster mushrooms using the selected additives made it possible to determine the best options: yes, the addition of skin shavings and the addition of pores It does not inhibit the colonization of these additives, but, on the contrary, increases the growth rate of colonies compared to colonies developed without additional nutrition; the obtained data of the laboratory experiment can be considered primary and those that require further research, including when using other methods of preparation of additives (sterilization, solid-state fermentation), as well as verification in scientific and economic experiments on the determination of technological properties in substrate compositions and the calculation of biological effectiveness and productivity of oyster mushrooms and other saprophytes.

Authors: Seah Brandon
Published: August 2024

As the ecological and evolutionary importance of symbiotic interactions between protists (microbial eukaryotes) and prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) is better appreciated, keeping an overview of their diversity and the literature becomes a growing and ongoing challenge. Here we present the Protist-Prokaryote Symbiosis Database (PPSDB), comprising 789 manually curated interaction statements sourced from 410 publications, where biological taxonomy, anatomical localization, and analytical methods applied have been annotated and mapped to external databases and ontologies, such as Wikidata, NCBI Taxonomy and Gene Ontology. We describe how our data model deals practically with challenges such as incomplete information and inconsistent taxon concepts, which will be applicable to similar projects. Both the model and underlying Wikibase software platform are highly extensible, so new items and properties can easily be added. Unlike a static table or list of citations, PPSDB is a structured knowledge base that enables programmatic access and powerful, integrated semantic queries. The database is available at https://ppsdb.wikibase.cloud/.

EFFICACY OF INTRAPERITONEAL BUPIVACAINE INSTILLATION FOR POSTOPERATIVE PAIN CONTROL: A QUALITY IMPROVEMENT STUDY
Authors: Kabir Isa , Usman Mohammed Adinoyi , Bashir Rabiu Mohammed
Published: August 2024

Laparoscopic surgery is associated with better pain experience, reduced Length of Hospital Stay and better scar. However, the resulting postoperative pain is distinct and can be disturbing, hence the need for multimodal analgesia. The side effects of parenteral analgesics and low practice of regional anaesthesia has limited their role in multimodal analgesia. Therefore, strategies that limit the reliance on these pain control modalities will be beneficial. Our study evaluated the efficacy of intraperitoneal instillation of plain bupivacaine after laparoscopic surgeries. The double blinded randomized study enrolled 50 consenting patients who fulfilled recruitment criteria. The bupivacaine group received 20mls of 0.25% plain Bupivacaine while the saline group received 20mls normal saline instillation into the peritoneal cavity via the umbilical port of the laparoscopy device. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was assessed at presentation at the Post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) and at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours afterward. In addition, the interval between end of surgery, first request for analgesia and total analgesic requirements were recorded. The VAS at presentation was significantly lower in the Bupivacaine group compared to the saline group, however, there was no statistically significant difference at other times. In addition, there was a significant difference in time to first analgesic request in both groups. The only observed post operative complications were nausea and vomiting. Intraperitoneal Instillation of Bupivacaine is an easy, non-invasive, cheaper and safer method of pain control following laparoscopic surgery in carefully selected patients.

Fishes are a great dependable source of protein and assessment to determine their safety or otherwise is very crucial. In this work, four vital organs (gills, gonads, liver and muscles) collected from Ajiwa reservoir in Katsina state were analyzed for some heavy metals (Cobalt, Copper, Manganese, Nickel, and Lead). This preliminary investigation was carried out between September to December (2023) to expose additional information on the concentration of heavy metals in both water and tissues of Oreochromis niloticus, four sampling stations were randomly chosen for the survey along the bank of the reservoir. Samples were collected fortnightly throughout the research. The mean physicochemical parameters of the Ajiwa reservoir were pH (7.10±0.48), Temperature (22.93±4.02), Transparency (12.61±2.46), Conductivity (113.97±10.63), DO (6.78±1.09), and BOD (3.52±0.88). Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) instrument was used to determine the heavy metal concentrations in the samples and their levels compared with the World Health Organization (WHO, 2020) specified maximum levels. The results showed the concentration of heavy metals in the water to be (mg/L) Co (0.45±0.23), Cu (0.05±0.03), Mn (0.06±0.09), Ni (0.10±0.07), and Pb (0.40±0.18). Co, Mn, Ni and Pb were higher than the set standards limits of WHO (2023). The results indicate that the concentration of heavy metals in the analyzed fish tissues are in (mg/L) Co (1.03±0.16), Cu (0.13±0.05), Mn (0.10±0.19), Ni (0.18±0.22) and Pb (0.21±0.66). The concentration of Co, Ni and Pb were above the set standards of WHO (2020). Co, Mn and Pb concentrations mostly in the liver and gills were higher than the maximum permissible limit recommended by standard bodies.

Pelatihan bagi Pendamping sosial PKH diharapkan bermanfaat untuk pencegahan dan penanganan stunting, hal tersebut disebabkan pendamping sosial PKH melakukan pendampingan secara langsung ke KPM PKH dengan melakukan Pertemuan Peningkatan Kemampuan Keluarga. Untuk mengetahui manfaat pelatihan pencegahan dan penanganan stunting. Untuk mengetahui kontribusi pelatihan pencegahan dan penanganan stunting bagi pendamping sosial PKH maka dilakukan penelitian evaluasi dengan melakukan melakukan analisis implementasi praktik peran-peran sebagai edukator, fasilitator, penyuluh sosial, advokat sosial dan mobilisator yang dilakukan peserta setelah mengikuti pelatihan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan pengumpulan data melalui survey terhadap peserta pelatihan yang dilakukan oleh Balai Besar Pelatihan dan Pendidikan Kesejahteran Sosial Bandung tahun 2021. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa 61% peserta mampu memerankan peranannya dalam pencegahan dan penanganan stunting. Namun, perlu ada bimbigan lebih lanjut kepada peserta dalam mengimplementasikan perannya sebagai fasilitator, advokat sosial dan mobilisator, terutama terkait dengan bekerja dengan pihak-pihak terkait dalam pencegahan dan penanganan stunting. Oleh karena itu, disarankan untuk memperkuat dukungan berkelanjutan untuk penerapan materi pelatihan. Dukungan tersebut berasal dari Kementerian Sosial, Pemerintah Daerah, Masyarakat dan Organisasi Sosial. Pemantauan kinerja pendamping sosial PKH guna memastikan bahwa pembelajaran dari pelatihan diimplementasikan secara efektif dalam praktik sehari-hari, pemberian sarana dan prasaran untuk menunjang penerapan materi pelatihan dan penyesuaian materi pelatihan dengan kondisi yang dialami oleh KPM PKH.

The increase in CO2 emissions has led to a rise in global temperatures. The rising CO2 emissions in ASEAN need further examination concerning the variables influencing this increase. This study aims to test and obtain empirical evidence on the determinants of CO2 emissions in six ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) during the period 2000–2021. The factors considered in this study include Economic Growth (GGDP), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Total Population (POP), Fossil Energy Consumption (EF), and Renewable Energy Consumption (GET). This research employs panel data regression using both time series and cross-sectional data. The Chow and Hausman tests were conducted to determine the appropriate model, and the fixed-effect model was selected as the best fit. This research demonstrates that GET has an insignificant relationship with CO2 emissions, whereas GGDP, FDI, POP, and EF have significant relationships with CO2 emissions. In conclusion, considering all the independent variables in this study that affect CO2 emissions, future efforts should focus on finding ways to control these variables to reduce CO2 emissions.
Az erőszakmentes kommunikáció megjelenése a síoktatás területén

Kutatások bizonyítják, hogy a gyermekek fejlődésére hátráltató hatással van a verbálisan agreszszív, büntető légkör. Éppen ezért egy olyan helyen, ahol a gyermek sok időt tölt – pl. iskola, heti rendszerességű edzések –, döntő fontosságú, hogy a vele foglalkozó személy hogyan kommunikál, hogyan oldja meg a konfliktusokat, milyen mintákat ad. Az erőszakmentes kommunikáció az empátiára és az őszinte önkifejezésre épül, célja, hogy a kommunikációban részt vevő felek egyaránt „győztesként” kerülhessenek ki a beszélgetésből a saját és a másik fél érzéseinek figyelembevételével. Jelen tanulmány célja, hogy megvizsgálja az erőszakmentes kommunikáció elemeit és használati lehetőségeit egy budapesti síiskola oktatási folyamataiban. Alapfeltevésünk szerint egy ilyen speciális közegben – extrém sport, specifikus körülmények, fokozott balesethelyzet – az oktatóknak nagyobb hangsúlyt kell fektetnie a türelmes és nyugodt kommunikációra, illetve a bizalomteli edző-tanítvány kapcsolat kialakítására. Feltételezésünk szerint az ilyen jellegű oktatói hozzáállás tartalmazhatja az erőszakmentes kommunikáció elemeit. Kutatásunkban egy népszerű budapesti műanyag pályás síiskola sportoktatói (n = 20) vettek részt, akik egy általunk készített Erőszakmentes Kommunikáció tesztet töltöttek ki. A kérdőív eredményei alapján a síklub oktatói eredményesen alkalmazzák az erőszakmentes kommunikáció elemeit. A foglalkozások közben tudatosan viselkednek, odafigyelve kommunikálnak, pozitív attitűddel és nyitottsággal állnak a tanítványokhoz. Úgy véljük, az erőszakmentes kommunikáció elemeinek használata nagyban hozzájárul ahhoz, hogy a síklubba járó sportolók örömmel, lelkesedéssel és kellő motivációval érkeznek az órákra és az oktatóikhoz. Éppen ezért szükség van arra, hogy a témában készült kutatások bizonyítékait tudomásul véve és felhasználva erőszakmentes kommunikációt fejlesztő programokat hozzunk létre az oktatók számára a tanítványaik pszichológiai egészségének megőrzése céljából.

Kutatásunkban az aszimmetriák kiküszöbölésével foglalkoztunk a gyors erőkifejtés tükrében, I. osztályú serdülőkori kézilabdázó lányoknál. 13 személy vett részt a vizsgálatunkban, akiknek felmértük a térdhajlító, térdfeszítő, valamint a törzs rotációs izmainak az erőkifejtését. A felmérés után a jobb és bal végtag, valamint a jobb és bal oldal 10% fölötti eltérése esetében differenciált munkát írtunk elő, amit heti két alkalommal a kondicionáló edzés keretein belül a lányok végrehajtottak. A törzsrotáció, valamint a térdfeszítő felmérése esetében nem, míg a térdhajlító esetében szignifikáns különbség jelentkezett a jobb és bal láb között. Ezenkívül még kétszer mértük fel a kézilabdázókat, és az aktuális felmérés alapján alakítottuk a differenciálást. Mind a három izomcsoport esetében fokozatosan csökkent az aszimmetria felmérésről felmérésre, de a térdhajlító esetében végig szignifikáns különbség mutatkozott a két végtag között.

Jellyfish, microorganisms, and the marine environment collectively shape a complex ecosystem. This study aimed to analyze the microbial communities associated with five jellyfish species, exploring their composition, diversity, and relationships. Microbial diversity among the species was assessed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and QIIME analysis. Significant differences in bacterial composition were found, with distinct dominant taxa in each species: Mycoplasmataceae (99.21%) in Aurelia coerulea, Sphingomonadaceae (22.81%) in Cassiopea andromeda, Alphaproteobacteria_unclassified (family level) (64.09%) in Chrysaora quinquecirrha, Parcubacteria_unclassified (family level) (93.11%) in Phacellophora camtschatica, and Chlamydiaceae (35.05%) and Alphaproteobacteria_unclassified (family level) (38.73%) in Rhopilema esculentum. C. andromeda showed the highest diversity, while A. coerulea exhibited the lowest. Correlations among dominant genera varied, including a positive correlation between Parcubacteria_unclassified (genus level) and Chlamydiaceae_unclassified (genus level). Genes were enriched in metabolic pathways and ABC transporters. The most abundant potential pathogens at the phylum level were Proteobacteria, Tenericutes, Chlamydiae, and Epsilonbacteraeota. The differing microbial compositions are likely influenced by species and their habitats. Interactions between jellyfish and microorganisms, as well as among microorganisms, showed interdependency or antagonism. Most microbial gene functions focused on metabolic pathways, warranting further study on the relationship between pathogenic bacteria and these pathways.
