Based on Regional Statistical Data for South Konawe Regency (2021) the harvested area of patchouli plants reached 427 ha with a total production of 924 tons or an average production of 2.16 tons ha-1 in 2019, but patchouli production has decreased sharply, where in 2020 production Patchouli only achieves an average production of 0.34 tons ha-1. This also happened in Wolasi Sub-District as one of the patchouli cultivation centers for South Konawe Regency. The average production is still far below the national average. It is suspected that the soil fertility factor is one of the causes of the decreased productivity of patchouli plants in Wolasi District. This research was carried out on patchouli plantations in Wolasi District, South Konawe Regency. The research objectives were: 1) to determine the relationship between soil physical characteristics and patchouli production in Wolasi District. The research was carried out from September to November 2022. The research method used a survey method which was based on field observations and soil analysis at the Soil Science Laboratory, Halu Oleo University. Determining the location of sampling of soil and patchouli production at the location of patchouli plantations in Wolasi District uses a composite sampling technique. There are 12 soil sampling locations. The results of the soil analysis were then statistically analyzed using Microsoft Excel software. Analysis was conducted to reveal the relationship between soil physical characteristics (porosity, bulk density and soil depth) with patchouli production. The results showed that content weight had a positive correlation and affected patchouli productivity by 23.23%. Porosity has a positive correlation and affects patchouli productivity by 16.68%. Effective depth has a positive correlation and affects patchouli productivity by 36.3%.Keywords: regression analysis, patchouli productivity, soil physical properties

About the «crisis of punishment» in the Republic of Belarus and its resolution
Authors: Тит А.А.
Published: August 2023

Анализируемый в статье «кризис наказания» — многофакторное явление, свидетельствующее о недостаточной эффективности применяемой системы наказаний, которое по всем признакам правоприменительной практики присутствует в Республике Беларусь. Автором показано, что одним из показателей, свидетельствующим о наличии в государстве «кризиса наказания», является неизменяемый уровень преступности (в том числе и рецидивной), независимо от предпринимаемых правоохранительными органами мер, направленных на его снижение. Обосновывается тезис о том, что одним из направлений разрешения «кризиса наказания» является воздействие на общественные отношения при реализации уголовной ответственности. Для этого на примере дореволюционного периода развития Республики Беларусь и в современный период показаны возможности широкого участия общественности при работе с осужденными. Предложены направления совершенствования законодательства, регламентирующего участие общественности при исполнении наказаний на современном этапе развития Республики Беларусь.

The “crisis of punishment” analyzed in the article is a multifactorial phenomenon indicating the insufficient effectiveness of the applied system of punishments, which, according to all signs of law enforcement practice, is present in the Republic of Belarus. The author shows that one of the indicators indicating the presence of a “punishment crisis” in the state is an unchangeable level of crime (including recidivism), regardless of the measures taken by law enforcement agencies aimed at reducing it. The thesis is substantiated that one of the ways to resolve the “crisis of punishment” is the impact on public relations in the implementation of criminal responsibility. For this purpose, on the example of the pre-revolutionary period of development of the Republic of Belarus and in the modern period, the possibilities of broad public participation in working with convicts are shown. The directions of improving the legislation regulating public participation in the execution of punishments at the present stage of development of the Republic of Belarus are proposed.

Three new species of north-eastern Australian earless dragons (Agamidae: Tympanocryptis)
Authors: Chaplin Kirilee , Wilson Steve , Sumner Joanna , Melville Jane
Published: August 2023

Earless dragons (Tympanocryptis spp.) are found in most open dry environments across the Australian continent, with the 23 currently described species inhabiting a variety of ecological niches, from stony desert to tropical woodland or cracking clay savannahs. Recent species delimitation research using genetics (mtDNA, nDNA, SNPs) and geometric morphometric analyses of CT scans identified three genetic lineages of earless dragons that are yet to be described in Queensland, supporting the need for a taxonomic revision. Focussing on this geographic region, we use supporting evidence from a mitochondrial DNA (ND2) phylogeny, along with external morphological assessment, to undertake a taxonomic revision of Queensland earless dragons. Based on these data, we describe three new species of Tympanocryptis from the cracking clay grasslands of the Darling Riverine Basin, the Queensland Central Highlands, and the stony open eucalypt woodlands on the Einasleigh Uplands. The revision of these north-eastern Australian earless dragon species provides further taxonomic clarity within the Tympanocryptis genus.

Published: August 2023

Este artículo plantea una aproximación teórica al estudio de la cultura científica a través de diversos conceptos vertidos por distintos autores, así como la identificación de rasgos teóricos en los cuales se muestran múltiples visiones no necesariamente son coincidentes. Además, vincula el concepto de cultura científica con el papel que juegan las instituciones de educación superior en la implementación de estrategias para su desarrollo, principalmente desde dos perspectivas fundamentales: (1) aquellas enfocadas a su propio crecimiento, manifiesto en estudiantes, docentes e investigadores; y (2) la posibilidad de contribuir a través de acciones de culturización científica en la sociedad en general. El artículo concluye que, independientemente de los amplios retos que todo esto representa, las propuestas identificadas no logran saltar de la iniciativa teórica a la puesta en práctica para la solución de problemas concretos.

Introduction:

The highest rates of fatal and nonfatal injury due to firearms occur in the Southern United States. This study examined the epidemiology of gunshot wound (GSW) injuries and the association of injury severity with mortality.

Methods:

This is a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 2016 to 2019 data from a mandatory reporting system for all licensed hospitals in Louisiana. Patients aged 18 years and older at the time of hospitalization for GSW were included. Injury severity was measured by the New Injury Severity Score (NISS). Primary outcomes assessed included mortality, length of stay, and total hospital charges.

Results:

There were 1,709 firearm injuries identified. The patient sample was 83.2% Black and 87.4% male, with a mean age of 34 years. Orthopaedics was the most frequently consulted surgical service. Total hospital visit charges for all GSW-associated care were $262.4 million. The multivariable adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval for mortality associated with a high NISS was 16.32 (8.96, 29.72).

Conclusion:

This study demonstrated the utility of NISS as a predictor of total hospital charges and length of stay, in addition to its well-established role as a predictor of mortality. Epidemiologic trends in GSW pathologies and associated procedures at a major urban trauma center were also reported.

Intimate Partner Violence: A problem without a Proper Solution
Authors: Palatuwa Ishara
Published: August 2023

In many countries across the world, intimate partner violence is a widespread occurrence. However, there is a distinction in how each jurisdiction has sought to combat it. Different countries have adopted methods to offer victims of IPV urgent remedies so that they do not have to return to an environment where the abuser dwells or, in some situations, restrict the abuser's access. Some nations have even gone so far as to safeguard their children who may be subjected to such abuse. The present study will look at the background of Sri Lanka and how the Sri Lankan government has created mechanisms to guarantee that victims of IPV are safeguarded as soon as they have been abused. The research intends to provide a comparative review of how other jurisdictions have dealt with the issue before concluding with suggestions for the setting of Sri Lanka. It was identified that there are potential actions that can be taken by Sri Lanka such as providing protection under the Victims and Witness Protection scheme and expanding the existing injunction relief to ensure the protection of victims.

Published: August 2023

Teacher recruitment procedures are vital in being one of the significant factors in providing effective and quality teachers. However, limited research has delved into how teachers are recruited in international schools. Hence, this study attempts to investigate the factors considered in teacher recruitment procedures and how teachers can be retained in international schools, especially in the secondary section which is from year 10 to 13. A quantitative research approach was used. The study involved 72 teachers who were selected from six leading international schools in Colombo using the purposive sampling technique. This included Head of departments and senior teachers from the Science, Commerce, Arts, and Technology streams. From each school, 12 teachers were selected, representing three teachers from each stream. A survey research design was executed, and a questionnaire was administered to collect the data. Descriptive statistics such as frequency counts, percentages, and mean were used to analyze data. The findings of the study showed that since the expectations are so high, many of the applicants are not eligible to teach in these schools. Therefore, there is a shortage of qualified teachers in all streams. The findings also revealed that the teacher turnover rate is very high in the Arts and the Technology streams. Hence, a system change is required. The management should rethink the teacher recruitment and retention protocols by managing human resources more effectively.

Introduction. Abernethy malformation (CEPS) is a rare condition in which portomesenteric blood bypasses the liver through a partial or complete shunt into the inferior vena cava. This pathology is extremely rare in children. Clinically, it can occur almost asymptomatically or under the guise of other diseases. It is manifested by signs of hepatic encephalopathy, pulmonary hypertension or hepatopulmonary syndrome. Mesoportal bypass surgery is an option for correcting portocaval shunts with the restoration of physiological blood flow in the liver.Since 2016, a center for treating developmental anomalies in the hepato-pancreato-biliary system in children has been operating in Filatov Municipal Children's Hospital (Moscow). To date, the center has performed more than 1,500 surgical interventions on the organs of biliopancreato-duodenal zone. For the period from 2016 to 2022, an endovascular occluder was used in 13 children with congenital portocaval shunts; surgical dressing – in 6 children.Description of clinical observation. This article describes a clinical case of a child with a congenital portocaval shunt. A comprehensive instrumental examination revealed a complete absence of portal blood flow in the liver of a newborn baby . The spleen vein and superior mesenteric vein flowed into the inferior vena cava as a single trunk. It is believed that liver transplantation is the only effective treatment for this type of pathology. Despite the ambiguous anatomy of liver vessels, the child was operated on for the mesoportal bypass. The architectonics of child's liver was restored, and he returned to an absolutely normal life without any life-threatening factors.Conclusion. This clinical case demonstrates the only described case of complete surgical cure of a complex liver vascular defect.

Introduction. A fecal stone, or fecalith, is often diagnosed in destructive appendicitis. It can pass into free abdominal cavity both before and during surgery. The incidence of fecaliths left after appendectomy is unknown, and there are only few cases reported in the literature. Abscess formation after appendectomy is a known and frequent complication, especially in case of perforated appendicitis; its incidence reaches 20%. A retained fecalith can trigger an intra-abdominal abscess in the postoperative period.The purpose of the work is to demonstrate the need for a thorough revision and sanitation of the abdominal cavity during appendectomy in order to avoid leaving fecalitis. The technical features of laparoscopic appendectomy represent an increased risk factor for the development of such complications.Description of clinical observation. This article describes a clinical case when a fecalith was found in the abdominal cavity after laparoscopic appendectomy. The patient was operated on for gangrenous-perforated appendicitis 3 months before the present admission to the hospital. After the performed surgery, from time to time the patient complained of periodic abdominal pain and subfebrile temperature. The child was thoroughly examined. Ultrasound and CT examination of the abdominal organs and retroperitoneal space revealed an abdominal abscess with a concrement in it. At laparoscopy, the abscess was opened; a free fecalith was found in it; it was removed.Conclusion. The presented clinical case demonstrates the need to perform a thorough revision and sanation of the abdominal cavity during appendectomy, so as not to leave any fecalith in it. Laparoscopic appendectomy may have an increased risk factor for developing such complications.

Authors: Sunawilalodra Gaga , Maulana Mahendra Andiek , Rohman Arif
Published: August 2023

Jlantah Dam is located on the Jlantah River, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java Province. The construction of the Jlantah dam serves irrigation needs, raw water supply, flood reduction, and tourism. In the implementation of the construction, there are problems with land acquisition in the reservoir inundation area. This problem will affect the time and cost of implementing the construction of the Jlantah Dam. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a simulation to determine the optimum reservoir volume of the reservoir that can fulfill the benefits of the dam, the implementation of which is not hampered by land acquisition in the inundation area and is efficient in terms of time and cost of implementation. In determining the inundation area of the reservoir, a capacity curve based on the topographic map is used to determine the area and volume of the reservoir at each elevation, then a simulation is performed to calculate at what elevation the reservoir can fulfill its planned utilization. The simulation was carried out with 2 (two) alternative conditions, namely the conditions at the crest elevation + 685 and the crest elevation + 682. From these two alternatives, it can be seen the reliability of the reservoir for each condition. The results of the evaluation obtained from the two mercury elevations have the greatest benefit value at + 685 elevations with a reservoir reliability value of 97.22%, a BCR value of 1.218, and an IRR value of 5.88% with a total cost of Rp. 1,750,818,179,096.

Liquidation Risk: Evidence on Non-Linearities in Uncovered Interest Parity
Authors: Kumar Vikram
Published: August 2023

Prospective shocks that force the immediate liquidation of securities to raise liquidity determine the ex-ante excess returns on currencies – a liquidation premium to compensate the investor for their liquidation risk even if they have forward cover. This liquidation premium behaves non-linearly, as postulated by the liquidity-risk augmented uncovered interest rate parity theory. The success of uncovered interest parity is, thus, conditional on the severity of the shock and the levels of interest rates. We examine the empirical validity of these non-linearity propositions using data on five major currencies, and document that the failure of uncovered interest parity is more pronounced when liquidity shocks are more severe and interest rate levels are higher.

Published: August 2023

The growing prevalence of personality disorder diagnoses has contributed to the rise of alternative group-based treatments. DBT skills-based groups are being newly implemented across community mental health services as a stand-alone treatment option. Previous research has demonstrated that DBT skills groups are equally effective interventions when compared to more traditional options. Previous studies have primarily relied on cross-sectional data therefore, unable to assess progress over time - a potentially key mechanism when exploring participants' development throughout a group intervention. The presented pilot study uses data from self-reported measures after each module of the DBT-S group to ascertain correlations in participants' emotional intensity and quality of life. We found that participants reported significant quality of life improvements, highlighting consistent progress in this area. We also found significant results in self-reported reductions in emotional intensity; Results which could be attributed to the focus on coping skills development and distress management teaching.
