Authors: Kowalewski Mirosław , Kozłowski Cezary
Published: May 2024

The research aimed to identify the ways and areas in which systematic cost accounting is used in selected medium and large companies. Two survey questionnaires were developed, one addressed to chief accountants and the other to managers. The questionnaires were addressed to 21 medium and large enterprises operating in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, of which 8 entities participated in the study. Therefore, the research conclusions refer only to the entities included in the survey. We received 8 questionnaires completed by chief accountants and 24 completed by managers at various levels.
The research found that information from systematic cost accounting is used in medium-sized enterprises mainly to assess the results of operations, while in large enterprises, it is used to determine financial results and make economic decisions. In recording operating costs, the surveyed entities use the extended variant based on sets of accounts 4 and 5. The majority of the entities use pre-calculation and result calculation. In an established format, most managers obtain information from systematic cost accounting through periodic reports and cost and performance analyses (monthly, quarterly, annual). With the information they receive, they can control the activities of their subordinate organisational unit, plan resource acquisition or motivate subordinates. They use information from the profit and loss account and cost accounting sheets less frequently.
In conclusion, it can be said that systematic cost accounting plays a vital role in the entities studied by offering helpful information to managers at different levels of management in an appropriate form and time.

Published: May 2024

Gene therapy is the process of introduction of nucleic acids usually DNA into cells to treat or prevent a medical condition or disease. It is a technique for correction of defective gene responsible for disease development. Gene can now be considered as a pharmaceutical agent for treating disease. The aim of gene therapy is to introduce a functional and expressible gene copy for the genes which are damaged, thereby increasing the availability of genes that can modify the disease or can suppress the activity of damaged genes. Gene therapy is basically of two typesi) somatic cell gene therapy, ii) Germ line gene therapy. The gene which can correct the disease need to be delivered to the target cell inside the body by means of a vehicle, this vehicle is known as vector. Gene editing is another tool which is being studied in the field of gene therapy. Unlike traditional gene therapy, gene editing can precisely correct point variants, disrupt a specific mutant gene and place an extra, healthy gene at a safe genomic location. Gene therapy is one of the most innovative field in biomedical research which has unlock new areas in medicine and has given new approach to deal with genetic diseases
DO BLEEDING AND CLOTTING TIMES DIFFER BY GENDER?
Authors: Shan Dr. Retash
Published: May 2024

Hemostasis is the process through which bleeding stops on its own. To assess the overall health of hemostatic systems, bleeding (BT) and clotting time (CT) is used. An assessment of hemostasis must precede each surgical procedure in a hospital. A BT or CT is necessary for epistaxis, hemoptysis, gastrointestinal, and variceal bleeding. On the other hand, these have a role in thrombotic risk and cardiovascular disease. As a result, the researchers in this study set out to see if there were any variations in bleeding and clotting times between young boys and girls. Aims and Objectives: To establish gender disparities in BT and CT among young medical students and examine any correlation between the parameters. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional survey was carried out between September 2021 and December 2021 in the haematology lab at GMC Jammu's Department of Physiology after receiving IEC permission (Vide No. IEC/GMC/Cat C/2021/532 dated 24/05/2021) and informed consent, involved 250 healthy first-phase MBBS students (17-20 years old) from both genders. According to established protocols, CT and BT were evaluated using Wright's Capillary tube and Duke's filter paper method. Average BT and CT values for male and female medical participants were assessed. All data were reported as Mean with Standard Deviation. We used unpaired t-test analysis with the help of the SPSS 26.0 version to look for BT and CT measurement discrepancies. The Chi-square test did further research to examine any correlation between the parameters. A p-value less than five per cent was deemed statistically significant. Results: In the current research, BT mean values were 2.28 ±0.63 minutes in men and 2.42 ±0.59 minutes in women. In the end, the p-value was found to be 0.066. CT values were 4.61 ±1.22 minutes for men and 5.10 ±1.57 minutes for women, a statistically significant difference (p=0.006). BT and CT appear to be influenced by gender. Conclusion: In our study, the comparison of gender to bleeding and clotting times in agematched participants reveals that females had slightly greater BT and CT values than males. The lower hematocrit and the effects of estrogen with lower fibrinogen levels in women may account for the more prolonged BT and CT, respectively

Published: May 2024

In engines and machinery, friction is controlled or reduced by lubricants. There are several types of Synthetic lubricants, including esters, Poly Alpha Olefin (PAO) and others. Synthetic lubricants are derived from Synthetic base oils, which can replace and differentiate mineral oil from crude oil. Lubricants derived from oily liquids are not directly derived from petroleum, but show similar characteristics to petroleum-based lubricants. By absorbing the heat generated by moving components of the vehicle and transferring it to the sump or cooler, these lubricants help control the temperature of the vehicle. Collectively, these factors lead to an enhanced overall vehicle life cycle. The aim of this study is to determine the market demand of Synthetic lubricants and to look at the promotion strategies of Synthetic lubricants in order to determine how the market will grow for Synthetic lubricants. The study has been conducted on the basis of secondary data which has been gathered from various books, journals, magazines, newspapers and different reports; out of which, the report on which the study is majorly focused on is: “Synthetic Lubricants Market– Forecast (2020-2025)”, by Industry ARC; which analyzes the Synthetic Lubricants Market according to its type, product type and geographical segments.

With the advent of increased milk production and scarcity of energy rich feed and fodder mainly during lean period is one of the major constraints for sustainable dairy development in India. Beneficial and nutritional value of sugar beet in one side and the rising competitiveness of feed grains with human consumption, other side created a massive scope for sugar beet feeding worldwide. Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a promising high yielding summer crop that can be grown well in the tropical and subtropical parts of India. It has several advantages over traditional fodder crops that it can tolerate the soil salinity up to 5 eCE, rich in stored carbohydrate in the form of sugar, all of its part contribute in animal feeding, can be conserved for longer period by making silage. Earlier, inspite of enriched quality, its higher sugar content than starch made it a burning topic of concern and least popular and acceptable among farmers due to the possibility of decrease in ruminal pH, hindrance in fiber digestibility and interference in microbial population but if little analytical value of sugar when rejected found to partially replace the feed grains and could support the production. Therefore, cultivation of sugarbeet with full package of practice and better utilization of its byproduct as cattle feed may help in overcoming the problem of shortage of feed and green fodder in summer season and could be a potential alternative energy source feed for cattle in India

BIOPESTICIDES: ECOFRIENDLY PEST MANAGEMENT
Authors: Awasthi Ankita
Published: May 2024

In terms of demographics, agriculture is the largest economic sector in India. However, current farming practices are neither economically nor environmentally viable. The pests become a significant problem for both the quality and quantity of fruit and vegetable output. A variety of pests reduce agricultural output. To control them, farmers traditionally used chemical insecticides in varied quantities. Synthetic pesticides shouldn't be used recklessly because they reduce the numbers of natural foes, because environmental contamination, increase insect resistance, and—most importantly—have negative impacts on organisms that aren't their intended targets. In order to control a variety of agricultural pests, biopesticides are organic, naturally occurring compounds that are sprayed to plants in forests, gardens, farms, etc. Botanical pesticides are increasingly acknowledged as an essential component of IPM techniques in all crops because of their efficiency against insect pests. They typically require very low doses to be effective, and they frequently break down quickly, leading to lower exposures and thus avoiding the pollution problems. Additionally, they are made to target a single pest or, in some cases, a limited group of target species

Motherhood can be a stressful and highly demanding role. With the challenges a mother faces, many factors can influence satisfaction a mother experiences in their life. Within the many roles mothers play throughout their lives, mindfulness is found to benefit both women and their children and positively influence mothers’ relationships with their children or partner. This study investigated the role of mindfulness within life satisfaction among mothers’ experiences by examining levels of social support, mother’s age, work-life balance, and socioeconomic status as predictors of life satisfaction when moderated by mindfulness. Participants were sampled through social media including Facebook and Instagram. The Mindfulness in Parenthood Questionnaire (McCaffrey, 2015), Work Life Balance Questionnaire (WLB; Hayman, 2005), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet et al., 1988), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985) were used to measure participant’s motherhood experiences and a demographic questionnaire was administered to each participant. A moderation analysis was performed to assess the prediction of life satisfaction from social support, socioeconomic status, work life balance, age, and mindfulness. Overall, the regression models were significant. Together social support, socioeconomic status, work life balance, age, and mindfulness accounted for approximately 53% of the variance in life satisfaction. The mindfulness interactions were not significant. However social support, socioeconomic status, and work-life balance were found to be significant positive predictors of life satisfaction.

Effectiveness of Systemic and Topical Combination Therapy for the Treatment of Pustular Psoriasis: A Meta-Analysis Study
Authors: Muhammad Yusuf
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Pustular psoriasis is a rare and severe variant of psoriasis, characterized by sterile pustules that appear over erythematous plaques. Treatment is challenging and often requires a combination of systemic and topical therapy. This meta-analysis study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of systemic and topical combination therapy for the treatment of pustular psoriasis.
Methods: Relevant publications were identified through electronic searches in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Studies evaluating the effectiveness of systemic and topical combination therapy for the treatment of pustular psoriasis were included. Data were extracted and analyzed using random effects statistics.
Results: A total of 10 studies with a total of 324 patients were included in the analysis. Systemic and topical combination therapy demonstrated significant effectiveness in improving pustular psoriasis plaque improvement (PASI 75: 58% vs. 23%, p<0.001) and time to recurrence (12 months vs. 6 months, p<0.001) compared with systemic therapy or single topical. The most common side effect is skin irritation, which occurs in 15% of patients.
Conclusion: Systemic and topical combination therapy is an effective treatment option for pustular psoriasis. The choice of therapy should be based on the individual characteristics of the patient. Further research is needed to optimize the combination of agents and to evaluate long-term effectiveness.

Recognition of the molecular basis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors has paved the way for significant breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease as well as positioned gastrointestinal stromal tumors as a framework for the concept of precision oncology in solid tumors. The incorporation of novel targeted agents for molecularly defined subgroups has led to significant improvements in treatment outcomes; however, the characterization of heterogeneous KIT or PDGFRA mutations and the emergence of resistance mechanisms highlight the need for a broader use of comprehensive molecular profiling and emphasize the importance of molecularly driven adaptive treatment strategies. Such a molecular background is critical for developing personalized and effective interventions and optimizing outcomes. The present review summarizes key studies that provide the basis for standard-of-care management options as well as provides molecular insights into the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumors, with an emphasis on recent advances.

Effectiveness of school police officer engagement in bullying prevention and intervention in Belgrade secondary schools
Authors: Grmuša Adrijana
Published: May 2024

Engagement of school police officers (SPOs) within the Serbian education system is an important element of school's cooperation with the environment in bullying prevention and intervention. However, there is a lack of empirical data on the effectiveness of SPO engagement. For this reason, this paper presents the results of a research on the current state of SPO engagement and the perception of the effectiveness of SPO engagement in bullying prevention and intervention by students and members of the Team for protection, conducted in 19 Belgrade secondary schools during 2020/2021 school year. The data on the current state of engagement were collected through observation, while the data on perceptions of effectiveness were collected through interviews with 44 members of the Team for protection and a survey of 1,526 students. In terms of bullying prevention, this research has shown that SPO engagement has the potential to be effective by achieving a deterrent effect, but only if SPOs are present at the time when the risk of bullying incidents is the highest. In terms of bullying intervention, the results indicate that although SPOs are willing to intervene, their engagement is not effective as only a small number of victims ask them for protection in bullying cases and only in 30% of cases SPO managed to help. The implication of this research refers to the need to improve the interaction between students and SPOs, primarily by strengthening SPO's educational role and providing SPOs with adequate training to perform their duties in school.

Published: May 2024

This review paper presents the results of a study conducted using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods to investigate the dynamic behaviour of ionic liquid-based compositions in micrometre-spaced confinement. Ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) and other ionic liquid (IL) systems with nitrate anion in glass or quartz spaced confinement demonstrate anomalous cation dynamics that differ from those observed in bulk and in nano-confinement. It was demonstrated that the principal axis of the nitrate anion exhibits preferential orientation to the surface, akin to that in liquid crystals. It was shown that the cation translational mobility reversibly changes during exposure to a static magnetic field. This phenomenon was interpreted as a result of intermolecular structure transformations occurring in the confined ILs. The mechanisms of these transformations were discussed.
The effects of social versus economic ideology similarity information on explicit and implicit political person perception
Authors: Rubinstein Rachel S. , Bock Jarrod E.
Published: May 2024

We tested among Democratic and Republican perceivers the relative effects of social vs. economic ideology similarity information about individual members of the opposing party (i.e., information suggesting that a member of the opposing party has similar social or economic ideological views as the perceiver) on explicit and implicit affective polarization in evaluations of these target individuals and on perceived worldview conflict with these individuals. In Studies 1a and 1b, both types of ideology information reduced explicit affective polarization on some measures. Among both Democratic and Republican perceivers, the two types of similarity information were equally effective at reducing overall worldview conflict. Neither type of ideology information shifted implicit affective polarization (Studies 2a and 2b).

One of the main forces propelling the industrial revolution, nanotechnology is the study of matter at the nanoscale and has the potential to solve many ills. The versatile nature of nanomaterials is a result of their exceptional characteristics. Nanomaterial optical, thermal, and physicochemical characteristics may be better understood by characterization. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy are two of the most used tools for evaluating these properties, however there are many more options. Characterization according to characteristics, tools, and probe application is covered in this book. We quickly go over the benefits and downsides of each method. In sum, the methods covered in this book provide a good foundation for understanding nanomaterial characterisation.
