The study examines literature and statistical data on the geographical position, environmental conditions, and socio-demographic characteristics of the Pirot District to determine and evaluate the prospects for sustainable collection and cultivation of medicinal and aromatic herbs within the district. To process the data, SWOT and PESTEL analyses were employed. Our findings reveal a high potential for agricultural development in the district, stemming from its favorable geographical position, suitable climate conditions (sufficient amount and uniform distribution of precipitation during the growing season), extensive area of preserved nature, a wide variety of wild medicinal and aromatic herbs, a favourable average population age (45.4 years), a substantial share of working (65.5%) and agricultural population (32.6%), a large area of agricultural land (111,195.60 hectares), a high number of agricultural farms (11,873), availability for irrigation and sufficient quantities of natural fertilizers, and the potential for designating fields for organic agricultural production. Only 46.2% of the available agricultural land is currently utilized, with a predominant focus on grain and fodder crops, while the cultivation of medicinal and aromatic herbs remains underrepresented in the area. Although there is no data on the amount of herbal raw materials collected from nature, existing literature suggests that a third of the total domestic production of medicinal and aromatic herbs is realized in the district. The primary herb cultivated is immortelle (62.5%), along with other herbs, such as lavender (15.1%), lemon balm (5.6%), chamomile (3.8%), coriander (<0.8%), and hyssop (<0.8%). Based on the data presented, it can be argued that the potential of the district for agricultural production remains largely untapped. A substantial portion of the population, mostly unemployed residents, could be involved in the cultivation of medicinal and aromatic herbs, possibly representing the most lucrative form of agricultural production. Consequently, it can be concluded that the Pirot District, unlike hardly any other region in the Republic of Serbia, offers exceptional conditions for the expansion of organic agriculture. The sustainable utilization of wild plants and the organic production of medicinal and aromatic herbs represent significant opportunities for the economic advancement of local farms.

Investigating the Practicality of True Federalism in Nigeria
Authors: Nwachukwu Emmanuel Lucas
Published: November 2023

The growing frustration among different disenchanted regions of Nigeria raises the question; if Nigeria’s current federal structure is delivering the full benefits of citizenship to every region? This study investigates the practicability of Nigeria’s federalism, taking stock of different challenges confronting the nation-state which are mainly economic and political. The study revealed that the current system of federalism fails to meet the standards of true federalism. This is based on the idea that the autonomy advocated for states and regions is not respected in law or practice. The study therefore recommends restructuring and autonomy, which are meant to give every state and region a sense of belonging, improve unity, create healthy competition and help citizens achieve their aspirations. This will safeguard against a heavy-handed and unfair central government, which will allow states to maintain a degree of autonomy and make decisions that they believe best serve local interests. The study concludes that Nigeria must focus on restructuring and autonomy to drive a decentralized governing structure, which creates balance, preserve the country's national unity and cohesion.

A Case Study of Drug Dependency (NSAIDs) in Shirshool (Headache) Healed Through Integrative Medicine
Authors: Abhishek  , Sangeeta Nehra
Published: November 2023

Shira is the Uttamang i.e., most vital part of our body. Ayurveda is limited to pain and discomfort in Shira rather to brain disorders as such. Shirashool (headache) is the most common and frequently seen in day to day life due to the Stress, Vegdharan (to control forcefully natural functions like urine, faeces, cough or sneeze etc,) Ratrijagran (late night activity), Upvas (excessive control on appetite) Shoke (depressive thoughts), excessive work habits- the major root cause is excessive movement of Vata or overactive/imbalanced Vata Dosha. Jihva (tongue) examination is an important part of Ashtavidh pariksha mentioned in the text book of Yogratnakar. A tongue examination is typically conducted in conjunction with a thorough patient history. The vital organs of the body leave the imprint on the tongue surface- specific patterns or spots or colour. Tongue has its own language; it needs continuous practice. Examination of the tongue in Ayurveda is a easy valuable diagnostic tool that provides valuable and stored information about an individual's health and well-being or disease. Allopathic medicine like (NSAIDs) are most commonly used in headache as pain relieve medicine which has a lot of side effects; while holistic approach of Ayurveda is found to be very good results. Integrative therapy involves medicines, dietary schedule and yogic practices, shows sufficient significant changes in a patient. Mild recurrence which was seen in post follow up period was managed effectively through the yogic practices and proper guidance of counselling sessions on every Wednesday.
A Comparative Evaluation and Understanding of the Taxonomical Characteristics, Pharmacological Attributes, and Therapeutical Potential of Tulasi (Ocimum sanctum Linn. Linn.) and Bhustrina (Hyptis sauveolans (Linn.) Poit.)
Authors: Sethu. R
Published: November 2023

Usage of medicinal plants as a source for medicine has been the base of Ayurveda and has been in practice since the Vedic period. This has been a driving force for exponential growth and globalization of the science through ages into what we face in the current generation. Increased demand of a drug ultimately leads to over exploitation of the drug and brings forward the risk of shortage, abuse, and unavailability of the drug. The issue of unavailability of a drug has been prevailing since the 16th century AD and to overcome these issues, various classical literatures like Yoga ratnakara have stressed on the concept of Abhava pratinidhi Dravya or substitutes. With each passing day, newer and newer pharmaceutical products are being introduced into the market utilizing the available resources, hence the necessity of introducing and replacing endangered and risky medicinal plants have become inevitable to balance out the ecosystem. Tulasi (Ocimum sanctum Linn. Linn.) is an Ayurvedic drug used in clinical practice, pharmaceutical industries, and clinical applications for their diverse and potent pharmacological activities. Even though Tulasi naturally grows as a weed, excessive usage, Harsh climatic conditions, and demand for its antimicrobial activity has put Tulasi at risk for its availability. This study is focused on another drug “Bhustrina”- Hyptis sauveolans Poit which also belongs to Lamiaceae family and is a common weed. The study mainly emphasizes to evaluate and understand and compare the similarity in taxonomical characteristics, Pharmacological attributes, and therapeutical potential of Tulasi and Bhustrina and thereby include Bhustrina as a potential replacement for Tulasi.

Published: November 2023

Adaptation to the extreme living conditions of the North causes dyslipidemia, a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), in people working there. This study aimed to assess the level of lipids and C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation in CVD cases, in the blood of men staying in the Arctic and Subarctic zones of Russia. Accordingly, the sample was divided into two group, Arctic and Subarctic, the former included 51 participants, aged 35.7 ± 0.6 years, the latter — 54 individuals, aged 34.2 ± 0.9 years (p = 0.167); the duration of their work/stay in the Arctic and Subarctic zones was 7.1 ± 0.2 and 6.4 ± 0.6 years (p = 0.447), respectively. We sampled blood of the participants and measured triglycerides, total cholesterol, low (LDL) and high (HDL) density lipoproteins, atherogenic index (AI), CRP content. Arctic group had higher levels of triglycerides (1.71 ± 0.03 and 1.38 ± 0.14 mmol/l, p = 0.021), total cholesterol (6.15 ± 0.08 and 5.47 ± 0.14 mmol/l, p =0.001), HDL (1.5 ± 0.06 and 1.1 ± 0.04 mmol/l, p = 0.001); the values of LDL did not differ significantly between the groups (4.07 ± 0.08 and 4.1 ± 0.15 mmol/l, p = 0.88), and AI and CRP values (3.41 ± 0.18 and 4.18 ± 0.2, p = 0.007; 3.41 ± 0.18 and 4.91 ± 0.22 mg/l, p = 0.006, respectively) were greater in the Subarctic group. By triglycerides, dyslipidemia was diagnosed in 49.0% and 18.4% of Arctic and Subarctic participants, respectively, by total cholesterol — in 98.0% and 57.8%, by LDL — in 94.1% and 88.0%. As for HDL, their level was lower than normal in 2.0% of the Arctic group subjects and 36.7% of the Subarctic group subjects, which means a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases in the Subarctic region. The level of CRP indicated that 90% of the Arctic group participants were at risk of CVD (moderate risk for 23.5%, high risk for 66.7%), and in the Subarctic group this number was 100% (moderate risk for 7.7%, high risk for 88.5%). The likely reasons behind this are the specifics of nutrition and living conditions. Program of prevention of CVD in the Arctic zone should include lipid profile and CRP tests as part of every periodic medical examination, regardless of age. It is necessary to implement dyslipidemia alimentary correction measures.

Published: November 2023

One of the essential components of any dam is the spillway, which stands as one of the oldest man-made hydraulic structures. It serves as a device designed for the measurement and regulation of water flow, facilitating the controlled passage of excess water and sediment from the upstream to the downstream. This structure finds extensive application in dam construction. Given the critical nature of its function, a stepped spillway demands robust and reliable instruments to ensure high efficiency, ready for use at any moment. Providing crucial information about the behaviour of this significant structure, including flow characteristics such as the flow curve, water level profile, pressure, and velocity pattern at different points of the flow, is essential for its design, monitoring, and safety program. In this research, the Fluent software was employed, utilizing the RSM turbulence mode for simulating the flow on both Ogee and stepped spillways. The comparison of energy loss in these spillways was conducted, employing the VOF model to trace the free flow surface. The obtained results were validated using previous researchers’ studies.

Authors: Порфирьев Б.Н. , Скубачевская Н.Д. , Милякин С.Р.
Published: November 2023

Анализируются последствия изменений климата для инфраструктуры на примере автомобильных дорог с твердым покрытием. Рассматриваются сценарии их адаптации, различающиеся по масштабам применения адаптационных технологий и управленческим мерам, способствующие снижению уязвимости дорожного полотна к негативным воздействиям последствий, прежде всего, перехода приземной температуры через 0°С. Обосновывается методика расчета затрат на реализацию мер адаптации дорожной сети. Доказывается, что их стоимость не приводит к существенной нагрузке на федеральный (консолидированный) бюджет и экономику России. В то же время, для отдельных регионов страны такая нагрузка может быть значительной, что означает необходимость федеральной поддержки. Обосновывается методика оценки социально-экономической эффективности использования адаптационных технологий, способствующих снижению количества и тяжести ДТП, количества и объемов ремонтных работ, затрат времени пользователей дорог, а также уменьшения вредных выбросов в окружающую среду. Показано, что указанный эффект составляет 3,1 руб. на 1 руб. затрат на меры адаптации.
Перспективы реализации сценариев мирового энергоперехода
Authors: Колпаков А.Ю. , Зинченко Ю.В. , Галингер А.А.
Published: November 2023

Авторы проанализировали несколько десятков публичных сценариев глобального энергоперехода и на их основе разработали четыре своих сценария, отличающихся амбициозностью снижения мировых энергетических эмиссий СО2. На основе собственной методики авторы оценили отношение затрат на энергию к ВВП для каждого разработанного сценария с целью понимания их реалистичности. Сценарии, обеспечивающие условия для удержания роста средней глобальной температуры в пределах 1,5 ºС можно считать неосуществимыми ввиду экономических ограничений. Сценарий выполнения странами национальных вкладов в Парижское соглашение позволяет снизить мировые эмиссии СО2 более чем на 20% к 2050 г. и может считаться возможным, но для его реализации мировая экономика должна функционировать в режиме предельно возможных затрат на энергию в течение нескольких десятилетий.

Адаптация пространственной структуры российской экономики к внешним шокам
Authors: Михеева Н.Н.
Published: November 2023

В статье представлены результаты анализа сдвигов в пространственной структуре производства, происходящих под влиянием внешних шоков. Оценены последствия для региональной динамики шока от введения экономических санкций после присоединения к России Крыма и Севастополя и падения цен на энергоресурсы, а также шока, вызванного локдаунами во время пандемии коронавируса в 2020 г. Показано, что в 2021 г. последствия обоих шоков были преодолены. В процессе адаптации пространственной структуры произошел дальнейший сдвиг производства в западные регионы страны. Драйверами роста в регионах выступали сектор услуг и обрабатывающая промышленность. Рост производства обрабатывающих отраслей во всех федеральных округах сопровождался снижением в структуре обработки доли высокотехнологичных и среднетехнологичных отраслей высокого уровня. Показано, что под воздействием шоков пространственная структура производства изменяется в направлении, противоположном приоритетам регионального развития, заявленным в официальных документах.
Возможности усовершенствования системы расчетного мониторинга антропогенных выбросов парниковых газов и черного углерода на территории Российской Федерации
Authors: Романовская А.А. , Гинзбург В.А. , Гладильщикова А.А.
Published: November 2023

Усовершенствования системы расчетного мониторинга (СРМ) антропогенных выбросов парниковых газов (ПГ) и черного углерода (ЧУ) в Российской Федерации проводятся по трем основным направлениям: идентификация пробелов в необходимой для оценки выбросов статистической информации; разработка уточненных национальных коэффициентов для отдельных категорий источников; автоматизация и цифровизация данных мониторинга. Недостающая в системе мониторинга детализированная статистическая информация определяет точность оценки более 80% совокупных выбросов и почти 30% поглощений ПГ. Планируемые к разработке коэффициенты для оценки выбросов от ключевых категорий до 2024 г. позволят уточнить более 30% совокупных нетто-выбросов в России. При условии успешной цифровизации российская СРМ антропогенных потоков ПГ может занять передовые позиции в мире по качеству предоставляемых данных. В стране создается комплексная система выбросов и атмосферного переноса ЧУ, включающая подсистемы расчетного мониторинга выбросов ЧУ на территории России и сопредельных стран, модельной оценки атмосферного переноса и воздействия на Арктический регион. Усовершенствованная СРМ антропогенных потоков ПГ и ЧУ является центральным элементом важнейшего инновационного проекта государственного значения по созданию единой системы мониторинга климатически активных веществ и основой при планировании мер по сокращению выбросов и увеличению поглощения ПГ и оценки их эффективности.
Целевой сценарий социально-экономического развития России с низким уровнем нетто-выбросов парниковых газов до 2060 года
Authors: Широв А.А. , Колпаков А.Ю.
Published: November 2023

Статья посвящена методологическим и практическим вопросам оценки эффектов, связанных с мероприятиями по снижению эмиссий парниковых газов, в контексте разработки и реализации стратегии социально-экономического развития России. Авторы обосновывают необходимость учета инвестиций в меры декарбонизации, а также связанные с ними выгоды (спрос на продукцию фондообразующих отраслей) и издержки (рост цен и негативная реакция потребления). Целевой сценарий социально-экономического развития России с низким уровнем выбросов парниковых газов построен на прогнозно-аналитическом инструментарии, опирающемся на метод «затраты-выпуск», учет базы данных Национального кадастра антропогенных выбросов. Целевой сценарий сочетает активную экономическую политику с амбициозными действиями по снижению нетто- эмиссий: среднегодовые темпы прироста ВВП России составляют 2,6%, и к 2060 г. достигается углеродная нейтральность. Более агрессивный сценарий обеспечения углеродной нейтральности к 2050 г. характеризуется значительно худшими показателями экономической эффективности.

В статье исследуется специфика формирования сценариев развития электроэнергетики России (включая централизованное теплоснабжение) как составной части сценариев декарбонизации национальной экономики. Рассмотрены технологические возможности для снижения выбросов углерода за счет развития низкоуглеродных и безуглеродных технологий производства электроэнергии и тепла. Оценено потенциальное влияние межотраслевого фактора – масштабной электрификации, замещения органического топлива электроэнергией на объем электропотребления. С использованием оптимизационной модели энергетического планирования EPOS получены различные прогнозы структуры производства электроэнергии и централизованного тепла до 2050 г. с учетом вариантов квотирования выбросов углерода и развития электротранспорта. Определены приросты суммарных капиталовложений и совокупных затрат на энергоснабжение, необходимые для более интенсивного роста генерирующих мощностей и низкоуглеродной трансформации их технологической структуры при снижении выбросов углерода в электроэнергетике, с учетом повышенного спроса.

This paper examined the relationship between Government Spending and Economic Growth in Nigeria with special reference to Wagner’s Law Hypothesisusing annual data that spanned from 1981 to 2022. By examining the relationship between governments expenditure and the annual growth rate of GDP. The study sourced its data from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s statistical bulletin 2022, and first, examines the stochastic properties of the variables through the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test. The result reveals that, the data series are stationary at level. The hetero skedasticity test through Breusch-Pagan-Godfrey and Serial Correlation through the Breusch-Godfrey LM Test were performed and the long-run relationship between the variables has been examined through regression model (OLS). The result of the model reveals that government expenditure are significant in explaining GDP, this implies that government expenditure and GDP have a statistically significant long-run relationship, and thus, concluded in support of the validity of Wagner’s law for the Nigerian economy. It’s therefore, recommended that the Nigerian government should step up its effort in ensuring proper management of its resources and invest more inlabor-intensive sectors like agriculture.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of entrepreneurial networking skills on growth of small and medium plastic manufacturing enterprises in Nigeria.

Methodology: Mixed methods research design was applied by the study. The study target population was 18,476 plastics manufacturing SMEs in LAGOS State, Nigeria. Based on Yamane Formula adopted the sample size for this study was 397 respondents. Random sampling was used to select the 392 plastics manufacturing SMEs. The study therefore randomly selected 392 plastics manufacturing SMEs from a list of total lists of these is 18476 plastics manufacturing SMEs in LAGOS State, Nigeria. The managing director/CEO of these enterprises were the main respondents therefore the study administered 392 questionnaires. The study used semi structured questionnaires to collect primary data. The study used SPSS version 27 software to analyse the data. Both descriptive and inferential analyses were carried out.

Results: The inferential analysis results revealed that entrepreneurial networking skills had a significant and positive influence on the growth of small and medium plastic manufacturing enterprises in Nigeria at p<0.05. This indicates that strategic question asking, ability to get referrals and value adding skills are crucial drivers of growth of small and medium plastic manufacturing enterprises. The Coefficient of determination R2 of 0.470 showed that 47.0% of Growth of SMEs is explained by entrepreneurial financial skills. The R value for the model was 0.686 and the R2 was 0.470. This was a sign that the model was appropriate for establishing the link between entrepreneurial networking skills and the growth of small and medium plastic manufacturing enterprises and, as a result, for drawing the conclusions and suggestions from the study.  

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: While the existing Social network entrepreneurship theory used in this study was validated, the study recommends that SMEs in Nigeria should form quality networking which will enable them to create social communities shared by stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, other enterprises. According to the study, policymakers and state regulatory organizations should take the lead in formulating favourable legislation and policies that will provide friendly operating environment to enhance the growth of SMEs.
A Study of Employee Engagement in the Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Mishra Nandita , Aithal P. S.
Published: November 2023

Purpose: After liberalization of the Indian economy, the impact of privatisation, economic changes, and international markets put pressure on all functions of the organizations (Bhatnagar, 2007; Budhwar, et al, 2026) There is a requirement amongst the managers to build capacities, competencies, and capabilities. With the overall competition, retaining and attracting good talent has become a challenge. Employee engagement is key to the retention of talent in an organization. During the last decade, several studies related to talent management have been conducted, but mostly in developed countries and in a corporate context. Even within the employee engagement framework, very little has been done on teaching faculty and staff in colleges and universities.
Methodology: There is a strong need to study employee/ faculty engagement in the education sector. The literature study on employee engagement shows very little study on faculty engagement and motivation. Faculty engagement and motivation are possible if organizations, i.e., colleges and institutes provide the teachers with a passion for work and an engaging ambience which their performances and give them a continuous satisfying work experience.
Result/Analysis: The research titled, “A Study of Employee Engagement in the Higher Education Institutions”, is carried out as there is an immense need to study faculty engagement in the education sector. The previous studies on employee engagement have very little emphasis on faculty engagement and motivation. The study is a descriptive study and is based on primary data. Primary data from 72 teachers/ faculty members were collected from colleges and institutes of higher education across India. A structured questionnaire was adopted for collecting primary data through the questionnaire method and in few cases, wherever possible through the interview method, to collect in-depth information about the education system.
Originality/Value: This paper discusses a very important observation of the research study, i.e., the reason for the change in the engagement pattern of faculty members/teachers in the HEI. What has been discussed and seen during the research interview is that the faculty has expressed the support of the senior management and academic leaders in their meaningful contribution.
Paper Type: Empirical study.
Do conhecimento clínico ao pedagógico: desafios na identificação das altas habilidades/superdotação

Published: November 2023

Nota-se, na literatura nacional e internacional, um desafio constante nos processos educacionais do estudante com altas habilidades/superdotação, referente ao compartilhamento do conhecimento e das informações entre a área clínica e pedagógica. Na identificação e diagnóstico das altas habilidades/superdotação, é preciso um psicodiagnóstico, no intuito de identificar características, potencialidades e necessidades especiais, contudo o diagnóstico não garante a promoção do processo educacional voltado à inclusão e especificidades de aprendizagem. Assim, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo discutir caminhos para compreender o psicodiagnóstico como um recurso de compartilhamento de saberes e de apoio para as ações pedagógicas. Recorreu-se a uma revisão narrativa da literatura com a utilização do software de análise qualitativa QSR NVIVO(r), visando realizar uma análise de conteúdo dos artigos selecionados para compor o estudo. Com a amostra de publicações que integram a revisão narrativa da literatura, observou-se que, no campo das altas habilidades/superdotação, poucos estudos discutem a promoção da saúde mental com base no pós-diagnóstico e o entendimento da subjetividade do sujeito. Notou-se que ainda se mantêm o conhecimento clínico e o conhecimento pedagógico como vertentes diferentes; entretanto, para ocorrer uma compreensão por parte do próprio estudante com altas habilidades/superdotação, é necessário que as dimensões clínica e pedagógica dialoguem de maneira a auxiliar as famílias e os sujeitos envolvidos.
