Published: July 2024

The purpose of research is to develop an effective technology based on assessing the impact of reducing energy costs for soil cultivation with an increase in the use of chemicals (fertilizers and herbicides) on the productivity of different varieties of wheat. Based on the results of many years of research at the laboratory of varietal agricultural technologies of the Krasnoyarsk Research Institute of Agriculture, an assessment was made of the effect of surface tillage using the BDM-6 “Rubin” disc harrow and milling, without main treatment, on the yield of 4 varieties of spring wheat in comparison with traditional technology based on moldboard plowing (control ). The harvest was formed under harsh weather conditions, which limited productivity to 0.6–3.6 t/ha. The energy coefficient with minimal processing using ammonium nitrate was 4.8 and with direct sowing without the use of mineral fertilizers it was 4.4. This circumstance necessitates the need to expand methods of soil preparation for sowing, especially after the use of minimal tillage. As an experiment, the surface of the soil was milled with FBN 1.1 for high-quality sowing using a disc seeder SN-16. Treatment with a milling cutter was carried out after the scattering of ammonium nitrate. In general, resource-saving technologies (sowing after disking and sowing without main tillage before milling) reduced production costs by 11–13 %, and fuel consumption decreased by 42–43 % compared to technology based on plowing. Carrying out pre-sowing treatment with a milling cutter guarantees complete cleansing of the soil from early weed shoots; control is carried out using a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). Differences in yield levels between tillage options are insignificant; NSR05 was 0.4 t/ha. And the influence of mineral fertilizers, well mixed with the soil in the surface layer using a milling cutter, has increased sharply.

Authors: Vlasenko Ol'ga
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the study is to determine the direction of change in the humus state of fallow soils in the forest-steppe zone when they are re-involved in arable land. The studies were carried out in the Kras-noyarsk forest-steppe during three growing seasons of 2015–2017 when the forb-grass deposit is replaced at the turf stage by agrocenosis of wheat and then by agrocenosis of pea-oat grass mixture. A distinctive feature of the process of involving fallow land in arable land was the chemical treatment of plants before plowing. Research has established that when the fallow is treated with herbicides and subsequent plowing, the sod horizon disappears, the amount of plant residues decreases sharply, the humus horizon differen¬tiates into arable and subarable with different densities, and blocky and dusty aggregates appear. The humus content under the long-term fallow land and during its plowing was high and amounted to 9.4–9.3 %; no decrease in humus was detected in the first two years after plowing, but the enrichment of humus with nitrogen decreased from an average to a very low level. The content of mobile humus in the soil under the long-term fallow land was 951 mg/100 g; when the fallow was plowed, it decreased to 346 mg/100 g. At the same time, the potential emission of carbon dioxide from agrochernozem increa¬sed – from 5.5 to 18.5 mg CO2 /10 g, which had an average inverse relationship with the SpO content (r = 0.56). It has been established that with intensive agrotechnical influence with the use of chemicals to destroy the turf horizon, the share of SPOs from Shumus decreases by more than 2.8 times due to its mineralization.

Published: July 2024

Aim: To analyze the embolic migration complication during arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) embolization of the head and neck localization, and to demonstrate the possibility of tromboaspiration method in treatment of such complications in cerebrovascular region.
Materials and Methods: The endovascular intervention was performed in 116 patients with AVMs of the head and neck localization. We used a superselective catheterization of the external cerebral artery branches as a treatment method of AVMs embolization. During embolization of AVMs, the spherical and not spherical polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) emboli were implanted.
Results: The result of treatment was technically successful in 112 (96,6 %) patients with AVMs of the head and neck localization. There were 4 (3,5 %) cerebrovascular complications during AVMs embolization of the head and neck localization. In 2 cases a cerebrovascular complication arose during the AVMs embolization of head localizations. In those 2 cases the cerebrovascular complications were successfully treated conservatively. In other 2 cases cerebrovascular complications arose during the AVMs embolization of neck localizations. One patient died as result of a massive ischemic stroke in the vertebrobasilar zone. Another patient was successful treated by tromboaspiration method.
Conclusions: Any surgical intervention on the carotid arteries, including endovascular surgery, is associated with a risk to the health and life of the patient. A thorough angiographic diagnosis of the external and internal carotid and vertebral arteries is necessary before endovascular embolization. Modern endovascular technology, such as tromboaspiration, may be helpful to avoid embolic migration complication in cerebrovascular region.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of PSAE for secondary prevention of VB episodes in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and CSPH.
Materials and Methods: One hundred twenty patients (from 2008 to 2020) were submitted of PSAE as secondary prevention treatment. The results of the treatment of 27 patients between 2008 and 2012 (first period) were compared with those of 93 patients treated with PSAE since 2013 (second period), as procedure and management protocol were modificated. VB recurrence rate and mortality (related and non-related to bleeding episodes) were defined as study end-points in both groups at 12-months follow-up.
Results: At 12-months follow-up, 11 (40,7 %) and 54 (58,1 %) patients in groups 1 and 2, respectively, were free from VBs (p=0,129). Overall mortality rate was significantly higher in group 1, as compared to group 2: 10 (37,0 %) versus 6 (6,4 %) patients, respectively (p<0,001), − due to higher frequency of fatal VB events (7 (26,0 %) vs. 3 (3,2 %) patients, respectively; p=0,001).
Conclusions: PSAE is an effective treatment for secondary prevention of VB in patients with CLD and CSPS. The management protocol modification resulted in the decrease in overall mortality rate and mortality related to recurrent VB episodes.

Authors: Pavlovskyi Sergii A. , Vozniuk Olga R.
Published: July 2024

Aim: To characterize the features of the interrelation of systemic inflammation with the quality of life of patients with coronary virus disease.
Materials and Methods: 30 patients were examined 1 month after inpatient treatment for COVID-19. Quality of life (QoL) of patients was determined according to the questionnaire Medical Outcomes Study – 36-item Short Form (SF-36). The glucose level, circulating immune complexes (CICs), concentration of immunoglobulin (Ig) A, interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-33 levels were determined in the blood serum of patients.
Results: QoL of patients after coronavirus disease is significantly deteriorated: patients note a significant limitation in physical functioning, pain perception, vitality, role-physical and social functioning and mental health. The increase in glycemia and glycated hemoglobin levels in post-COVID-19 patients was significantly associated with the deterioration of patients` general health (GH) (r = −0,228; (p=0,040) and (r = −0,280; (p=0,014), respectively). The IL-33 concentration in such patients correlated directly with role-physical functioning (RP) (r = 0,385; p=0,029). The CICs level decline was associated with deterioration of RP (r = 0,227; p=0,042) and GH (r = 0,227; p=0,041).
Conclusions: The study of clinical-functional, biochemical, immunological and psychological indicators, quality of life, and their mutual influences should be included in the development of the program for the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients after the transfer of COVID-19 at the outpatient stage of treatment by doctors of general practice-family medicine.

The paradox of urban decline in India
Authors: Sarif Nawaj , K. Roy Archana
Published: July 2024

Urban shrinkage has become a global challenge in the field of urban studies. Despite significant progress in understanding urban shrinkage in developed countries, further exploration is necessary to comprehend the recent emergence of urban shrinkage in developing countries. This study explores the spatial pattern of urban shrinkage and urban decline and examines the associated factors of population decline in Indian urban centers. The phenomenon of urban decline in India presents a paradox as the country witnesses a steady growth in urbanization, yet some urban centers are facing a decline in population. Results showed that every one in nine urban centers was declining, with one-fifth of them shrinking in terms of population. The urban growth rate and level of urbanization are major contributing factors to this decline, along with city-level characteristics such as small population size, low population density, low fertility, and a higher aging population. To address this rising threat, urban policymakers in India must plan for the growth and development of declining and shrinking cities through revitalization programs, capital investment, infrastructure development, and micro-regional planning. Further, encouraging inclusive development for small and larger cities can help achieve sustainable urban development in India.

Comparative Analysis of Bribery Laws and Implications
Authors: - Dr. Jayshree Gautam Kanchanpurkar
Published: July 2024

In light of the Global Peace Index's recognition of Denmark, New Zealand, and Finland as nations with excellent governance standards and low levels of corruption, this study compares the bribery laws and their effects in these three nations. Denmark's legislative system strictly prohibits bribery in the public and private sectors, as outlined in particular provisions of its Criminal Code. In line with international anti-corruption conventions including the OECD Convention and EU Criminal Law Convention, provisions prohibit both active and passive bribery. Similarly, New Zealand's approach to bribery is broad, extending its authority extraterritorially, and penalising offenders severely. It is largely handled by the Crimes Act 1961 and Secret Commissions Act 1910.
Finland, on the other hand, has a thorough legislative approach that is scattered throughout its Criminal Code and covers fraud, bribery, and other corrupt practices. This strategy is in line with Finland's resolve to fight corruption by enacting specific laws and enforcing strict penalties—which include fines and jail time in more serious cases.The methodology employed is qualitative in nature and entails a thorough examination of statutory texts, case law, and international agreements. Secondary sources, such as government reports and scholarly literature, are also consulted. A detailed investigation of how each nation defines, prosecutes, and deters bribery is made possible by comparative legal analysis, which takes into account contextual elements like historical evolution, the socio-political climate, and international commitments.
This study advances our knowledge of how well legal frameworks function to prevent corruption, advance transparency, and build public confidence in the public and private sectors of the economy. The comparative analysis provides valuable insights that guide efforts to strengthen anti-corruption measures worldwide. These tactics highlight the significance of strong legislative frameworks that are customised to national circumstances in order to maintain integrity and accountability in government.

Published: July 2024

In radiotherapy, spread is a radiobiological parameter that corresponds to the total duration of treatment expressed in days. The objective of the study is to evaluate adherence to the theoretical spread among patients receiving curative irradiation.This was a prospective study conducted within the radiotherapy department at the National Oncology Institute of Rabat, including 285 patients receiving curative irradiation, regardless of tumor localization, from December 1, 2021, to February 28, 2022. Reasons for missed sessions were collected during end-of-treatment consultations.The median age of our patients was 47 years (range: 36-78 years), with 62% being female and 38% male. Among them, 47.3% were employed. Transportation methods varied; public transportation accounted for 59.2%, taxis for 9.1%, and only 8.7% used personal transportation. Travel time from home to the oncology institute was less than 20 minutes for 12.6% of patients, between 20 and 60 minutes for 75.7%, and over 60 minutes for 11.7%. The most common tumor sites were the breast in 32.2% of cases and the prostate in 23.5% of patients. The theoretical spread was adhered to in 29.8% of cases. In 56.4% of cases, the extension was between 1 and 5 days, and in 13.3% of cases, it was between 6 and 12 days.Causes of spread extension were diverse, with equipment breakdowns and maintenance accounting for 52.1% of cases, intercurrent illness for 10%, holidays for 16%, and treatment refusal for 0.6%.
Evaluation of spread in radiotherapy is crucial as it represents a significant factor in local recurrence and indirectly affects distant progression, especially with prolonged treatment durations.

Published: July 2024

The pervasiveness of technology has introduced new avenues for perpetrating sexual violence. Digital rape, encompassing acts of sexual violation perpetrated online, is a growing concern.
In recent years, India has witnessed an alarming rise in heinous offenses related to digital rape. Despite stringent laws, these atrocious acts continue unabated. The term "digital rape" is subject to interpretation, with some linking it to online sexual exploitation of women through electronic devices, while others associate it with current scenarios that raise intense discussion. This study aims to shed light on the concept of digital rape in the modern era, its relationship with sexual exploitation through online resources, cybercrime, and electronic gadgets. By analyzing specific cases, we contribute to a comprehensive doctrinal study, enhancing the legal framework to combat digital rape and protect vulnerable individuals.
This study delves into the complex and evolving issue of digital rape, examining its legal definitions, legislative responses, and judicial interpretations across different jurisdictions. Digital rape, involving the non-consensual penetration of a victim's body using objects or body parts other than the penis, has seen varied recognition and treatment under the law. This research provides a comprehensive analysis of statutory frameworks and case law to identify gaps, inconsistencies, and advancements in legal protections for victims. Through a comparative approach, the study highlights the differences in legislative terminology, prosecutorial challenges, and judicial outcomes, underscoring the need for uniformity and clarity in legal standards. The findings aim to inform policymakers, legal practitioners, and advocates, offering recommendations for enhancing legal frameworks to better address and prosecute digital rape, thereby ensuring justice for survivors

Authors: - P. Murali Krishna , - Prof. Sure Pulla Rao
Published: July 2024

The key challenges faced by smallholder farmers result from limited bargaining power and high transaction overheads, leading to poor economies of scale, high losses and limited price realisation due to inadequate infrastructure and poor quality control at the production clusters. Inefficiencies and lack of transparency in pricing, buyer discovery and supply chain inhibit a farmer from realising better prices. Small farmers are often excluded from accessing premium markets due to systemic barriers. Since, this paper aimed to study the impact of agriculture market on the socio-economic aspects farmers with reference to Rythu Bazaars, East Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh has taken study area and 6 Rythu Bazaars in it considered the study units. From each Rythu Bazaars 20 farmers were selected randomly and their perceptions were collected on impact of Rythu Bazaars on their socio-economic dimensions. Hence, the perceptions of farmers revealed that majority group felt impact more on their social status followed by household income and nutrition food habits.

A Cross-sectional Study on the Prevalence of Cervicogenic Headache amongst University Students
Authors: - Riya Mathur , - Sukhvinder Singh Tegh
Published: July 2024

The Cervicogenic Headache Society defines CGH as headache pain that radiates to the head's regions and is mostly caused by nociceptors associated with musculoskeletal disorders. A unilateral headache and neck discomfort resulting from dysfunction of the osseous, disc, and soft tissue constituents of the cervical vertebrae are known as a cervicogenic headache (CGH). It frequently comes with neck pain. Through the trigeminocervical nucleus, pain from the neck can be transmitted to the head. It is anatomically and functionally coherent with the posterior gray columns that constitute these spinal segments, and it extends through the canal of the spinal cord to the C3/4 vertebral column. Convergence refers to the possibility that sensory afferents' input—mainly from the upper 3 cervical nerve roots—may be misinterpreted as discomfort in the head.

Published: July 2024

This study investigates the influence of birth order on personality traits, specifically Neuroticism and Extraversion, among adolescents and young adults. A total of 120 participants aged between 14-25 years completed a survey distribution via Google Forms. The sample was evenly split into two groups: Elder children (First-born) and Younger children (Last-born), each comprising 60 individuals. The personality traits were assessed using Neuroticism and extraversion subscales of the Neo-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI, Costa & McCrae, 1992). Data analysis involved the use of a two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test to compare the distribution of Neuroticism and Extraversion scores between the two birth groups. The results indicate that there is no statistically significant difference in the distribution of Neuroticism and Extraversion traits between elder and younger children. These findings contribute to understanding how birth order is not the sole influence on neuroticism and extraversion among adolescents and young adults.

To Study the Relationship Between Assertiveness and Job Satisfaction in the Workplace
Authors: - Devangana , - Naila.P
Published: July 2024

The following study aims at establishing the relationship between assertiveness and job satisfaction in the workplace environment. Assertiveness, that involves the capability of freely advocating for one’s self and assertive rights whilst respecting other people’s rights in organizational relationships is a core interpersonal competence. Employees’ job satisfaction, on the other hand, is a critical measure of their level of satisfaction in their workplace that influences productivity, turnover and subsequently organizational outcomes. Survey questionnaire was used to obtain data from a diverse sample of employees that include the level of assertiveness and job satisfaction. Researched questions and hypotheses testing were based on correlation and one way ANOVA procedures with a view of ascertaining the nature and extent of relationship between assertiveness and job satisfaction. The present research reveals that assertiveness bears a positive though insignificant association with job satisfaction. Gender does not significantly influence job satisfaction; however, gender plays a crucial role in determining assertiveness levels. On the same note, no significant differences were found in assertiveness and job satisfaction among the age groups
National Food Policies and Food Security in Kenya's Arid and Semi-Arid Lands
Authors: - Asma Diramo Kofa , - Kizito Sabala , - Joseph Mutungi
Published: July 2024

Food insecurity remains a persistent challenge in Kenya's Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) due to a combination of frequent climate shocks such as droughts, floods and livestock diseases. These extremes disrupt traditional ways of life and devastate crops and livestock, leaving communities with little to no food. This paper examined the effect of national food policies and strategies on food security in these fragile regions, specifically focusing on initiatives designed to address the recurring problem. The arguments of the decentralization and institutional capacity theories were used to guide the analysis. Methodologically, the study employed a descriptive survey research design to inform data collection and analysis. The research established that despite government interventions, food insecurity remains prevalent in ASAL regions. The causes of this insecurity are multifaceted, encompassing factors such as climate variability, restricted access to resources and socio-economic disparities. The paper recommends a review of national food policies targeting ASALs to align them with the drivers of food insecurity. The review should include community engagement and stakeholder collaboration to attain effective and sustainable solutions.
