Legislative Framework and Role of Judiciary in Clinical Trials in India
Authors: - Himanshu Goyal
Published: March 2023

This research paper explores the legislative framework governing clinical trials in India and the role of the judiciary in ensuring their compliance. India has emerged as a preferred destination for clinical trials, primarily due to the country's large and diverse patient population. However, this has also brought to light several ethical and legal issues surrounding clinical trials. The paper begins by examining the regulatory framework for clinical trials in India, including the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, the Indian Council of Medical Research Guidelines, and the Clinical Trials Registry - India. The paper then delves into the role of the judiciary in overseeing clinical trials, particularly in cases of ethical violations and compensation claims. The research analyses landmark cases in the Indian legal system and their implications for clinical trial regulation.
Rural Marketing in India: Issues, Challenges, and Opportunities
Authors: - SAKIR JAMAL
Published: March 2023

Rural marketing is expanding quickly, and businesses that operate in villages must put a lot of effort into this area. All of these people are benefited by rural marketing thanks to the numerous marketing alternatives available in India. It appears claimed there is a large global market opportunity in the rural Indian market. Rural market conditions are currently undergoing a very rapid change. Due to rising disposable income and literacy rates, rural consumers are increasingly demanding branded goods. Consumers in rural areas tend to be more determined and use a wider range of items, both durable and non-durable, and are willing to pay a fair price for the correct goods. The Indian market, as well as the international market, now includes rural markets. More than twice as quickly as urban markets, rural markets are expanding. Given the vastness of the Indian rural market and its large consumer base, it offers marketers limitless options as well as several difficulties. Marketers have realised that rural India has a lot of potential, and with politicians focusing more on infusing funds to boost the rural economy, corporations are becoming more interested in rural India. One cannot afford to overlook the immense potential for rural markets presented by the growth in rural income, population, infrastructure, and supportive government policies.
A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Teaching with Concept Map Regarding Knowledge on Cerebral Palsy among III B.Sc Nursing Students in a Selected Nursing Colleges

Published: March 2023

Each child is a unique person, a person whose future will be affected for better or worse by the influences that mould his or her life during the early years. One child will grow up to become a joy to parents and a blessing to others. Whereas special ones will grow up and become a burden, sorrow and challenge to society.
Many tender ones are there who cannot stand on their own foot or cannot achieve their activity of daily living and are totally depended. Raising and taking care of such a gifted child is both a joy and a challenge, yet parents of gifted children have few resources for reliable parenting information. Awareness for the need of the services to take care of those disabled children and provision of the services are still far beyond the standard or basic requirement. Little attention to our special ones will prove much more than expected.

Published: March 2023

NSAIDs are commonly prescribed group of drugs with changing frequency of prescription pattern over a period of time and has wide range of adverse effect, mainly on alteration in GI, renal functions and CVS system, which can be life-threatening. Thus, the aim of study was to evaluate the current prescription pattern of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and the prevalence of NSAID-induced gastrointestinal (GI) risk factors in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Western Nepal. A prospective observational NSAIDs induced gastrointestinal risk related study was conducted over a period of two months by clinical pharmacist on which study cohort include 370 patients who are taking or/and prescribed with NSAIDs. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by each patient for knowledge over prescribed NSAID and simplified risk scoring scale (the Standardized Calculator of Risk for Events; SCORE) was used to evaluate patients risk for GI complications with the used of NSAIDs. Data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software version 17.0. The study groups were stratified into four risk groups according to GI SCORE tool, 18.4% of the patients belonged to high risk to very high risk groups for gastrointestinal complications. Analysis of prescription pattern revealed that overall frequency of prescription pattern of plain NSAIDs was found to be 60%, among which naproxen 500mg (21.3%) was found to be the most commonly prescribed non-selective NSAIDs (92%). Out of 370 at 105 prescription FDCs were prescribed. The finding conclude that although about more than 70% of patients receiving gastroprotective agents and had knowledge over NSAIDs still patients were at high to very high risk for NSAID-induced gastrointestinal complications and still there is a need of effective education/ knowledge towards NSAIDs and their pros and cons on use to the respective healthcare workers and patients in order to promote effective drug utilization.

Published: March 2023

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a broadly studied bioceramic for biomedical implant and bone tissue regeneration. Despite this, it is a good adsorbent of heavy metal ions. Its chemical formula is Ca10 (PO4)6(OH) 2. It was extracted by the calcination process from Ostrich bone. The obtained HAp was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and was used for removal of lead (II) ion from aqueous solutions. A series of experiments were conducted in order to determine the effects of pH, contact time and sorbent dosage in a optimize condition for maximum adsorption. The results showed that the removal efficiency of Pb (II) ions reached 99.04% with an initial concentration of 50 mgL1 , pH range; 3 to7 and 1 hour contact time. The adsorption rate of Pb (II) ions onto the HAp was found incredibly fast and equilibrium was reached within 5 minute. Within this time 72.32% of lead (II) ions were removed. The equilibrium removal process of Pb (II) ions at pH range 4.5-5.5 were well described by the Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 430.7 mg/g.

On Uexküll’s the Theory of Meaning in the Cultural Hermeneutics: From the Linguistic Meaning to the Perceptual Meaning and the Actual Meaning
Authors:   Sookmyung Research Institute of Humanities, Shin Eung-Chol
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this article is to deal with the concept of meaning, the phenomena of meaning, and the theory of meaning in terms of the Cultural Hermeneutics. So this study basically differs from the theory of meaning in tradition of the Analytic Philosophy and Semantics in the European Phenomenology. Both of them have something in common, especially in context of the linguistic meaning. But in this study we will discuss the perceptual meaning and the actional meaning in terms of the Cultural Hermeneutics in order to get over the linguistic meaning. In this context, we will discuss the problems as follows: Can only Human Being discover and pursuit the meaning? What is the difference between Human Being and Animals? Can only Human Being be the subject of creation of meaning? Can only Human Being enjoy the culture?
So, I will argue that the theory of meaning in the Cultural Hermeneutics has to include the perceptual meaning and the actional meaning. In this context, I will intensively deal with Uexküll(1864-1944)’s the theory of meaning. Lastly I will discuss Cassirer(1874-1945)’s evaluation to the Uexküll’s view-points.

Published: March 2023

Türkiye’de öğretmenlerin resmî/yazılı öğretim programlarını sınıflarına uyarladığı ortaya çıkarılmış olsa da bu sürecin detayları tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, ortaokullarda görev yapan öğretmenlerin öğretim programını sınıfa uyarlama sürecinde ortaya çıkan örüntüleri, uyarlama yapma nedenlerini ve sonuçlarını belirlemektir. Karma yöntemin sıralı açıklayıcı deseni temele alınarak programı uyarlama örüntüleri ölçeğiyle farklı branşlardaki 545 ortaokul öğretmeninden veri toplanmış, analizlerden sonra 12 öğretmenle görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Bulgular ortaokul öğretmenlerinin en çok genişletme, ikinci sırada yeniden düzenleme ve son olarak da atlama yaptıklarını göstermiştir. Öğretmenlerin genişletmeler yapmasında cinsiyet, branş, çalışılan okul türü, eğitim durumu açısından; yeniden düzenlemeler ve atlamalar yapmasında da branş, çalışılan okul türü, haftalık ders saati açısından anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğretmenlerin uyarlama nedenleri ders kitaplarının yetersiz bulunması, öğrencileri liselere giriş sınavına hazırlama, dersi eğlenceli, anlaşılır ve kalıcı kılma, ön bilgi eksiklerini tamamlama, önerilen sürelerin uygun bulunmaması, öğretmenlerin yeterlikleri ve tercihleri, kaynaşıklığı sağlama çabası, öğrenme ihtiyaçlarını giderme, öğretim programı içeriklerinin yoğunluğu ve süre yetersizliği, ideolojik propaganda unsurlarını azaltma isteğidir. Yapılan uyarlamaların öğrenci motivasyonu ve başarısında artış, öğretim sürelerini dengeleme, öğrenmeleri kolaylaştırma, kafa karışıklığını önleme, zaman kazanma gibi olumlu sonuçlarının yanı sıra ekstra zaman ve iş yükü gerektirme, değişikliklerin sonuçlarını tam olarak belirleyememe ve programdan uzaklaşma gibi olumsuz sonuçları dile getirilmiştir.
An Analysis of Latent Demand in Language Tourism
Authors: Carvalho Inês , Ramires Ana , Moraes Michelle
Published: March 2023

Studies on language tourism have been scarce. Existing research has focused on language tourists and their experiences. However, no study has approached nonparticipants and latent demand in language tourism. Latent demand refers to demand that cannot be satisfied due to particular constraints,
and despite the interest of the individual. Yet, the characteristics of latent demand in this type of tourism remain unknown, as well as the constraints that impede the participation of these potential language tourists in language tourism. The present study aims to fill this gap in knowledge
by identifying: a) the characteristics and constraints of latent demand in language tourism; and b) which factors predict the intentions of becoming a language tourist. This study comprises a sample of 1,462 nonparticipants in language tourism. Statistical quantitative data analysis (including
a binary logistic regression method) was performed using SPSS. Among other findings, we concluded that several predictors increased the odds of intending to participate in language tourism (e. g., being single, being able to speak English, being enrolled in higher education), while others
decreased it (lack of interest, lack of a travel companion, family commitments). Analyzing nonparticipants with high potential is key to remove constraints to their participation in language tourism.
The Agreement of Personal Shopping Service through E-Commerce Platforms: A Case Study of Consumer Protection
Authors: Gadjong Agussalim A.
Published: March 2023

This research examines and analyzes the legal relationship and protection between service providers and consumers in the agreement of personal shopping services through e-commerce platforms. This empirical legal research was conducted in Makassar from December 2022 to February 2023. Data is collected through direct interviews with the two informants and questionnaires for the 30 respondents. The obtained data is then quantitatively analyzed and presented in argumentative and infographic forms to describe the problem and address the research purposes. The results show that the legal relationship occurring in personal shopping service transactions can be categorized as a legal relationship of sale and purchase because there is no substantial difference in the elements. In principle, the service provider can be held accountable if the consumer suffers a loss due to the non-fulfillment of legal obligations within the transaction. In this research, the service provider has fulfilled its obligation to provide compensation, damages, or product replacements if the products consumers receive do not conform to the agreement of personal shopping service through e-commerce platforms. Therefore, it is recommended that consumers should be diligent in understanding the agreement’s terms and conditions of personal shopping services. Service providers must ensure transparent communication, maintain high-quality services, and fulfill their obligations by providing compensation or product replacements when necessary. Meanwhile, the Government should establish and enforce regulations to protect service providers and consumers, creating a fair and reliable e-commerce environment for personal shopping services. In addition, these regulations are also intended to prevent fraud that can be detrimental to all parties in the agreement of personal shopping services through e-commerce platforms in the future.

“My Husband dan Me”: Bagaimana co-parenting pada Ibu?
Authors: Widhyastuti Cahyaning
Published: March 2023

Menjadi ibu merupakan harapan banyak perempuan. Namun di balik itu, banyak peran dan tanggung jawab yang harus dilakukan. Salah satunya yaitu pengasuhan. Pengasuhan atau mengasuh anak memang tidak hanya menjadi tanggung jawab ibu, melainkan tanggung jawab bersama dengan suami. Akan tetapi budaya masyarakat patriarki masih memandang bahwa pekerjaan domestic, yang salah satunya adalah mengasuh anak, menjadi tanggung jawab Ibu. Melihat hal itu, pada penelitian ini, peneliti ingin melihat bagaimana Ibu merasakan dan menilai sejauhmana suami mereka berperan dalam mengasuh anak bersama-sama. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian awal yang dilakukan peneliti dengan melibatkan 52 orang ibu sebagai responden penelitian. Analisis deskriptif digunakan untuk menjawab pertanyaan penelitian, dan prosesnya dilakukan dengan bantuan SPSS versi 25. Secara umum, hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa 51.9% responden berada pada kategori cukup, yang artinya bahwa responden merasa bahwa pasangan mereka cukup berperan dalam pengasuhan anak. Selanjutnya 30.8% berada pada kategori kurang, yaitu responden merasa pasangan atau suami kurang berperan dalam membantu mengasuh anak. Sisanya sebesar 17.3% responden merasa bahwa pasangan mereka baik dalam berperan membantu mengasuh anak bersama-sama.

The study imperatively ascertains the impact of Professional Development (PD) of mathematics teachers in their classroom delivery in Kwabre East Municipality (KEM). The study was embedded with positivist philosophical assumptions concerning how knowledge was gained and constructed. A descriptive survey was adopted and the census sampling technique was used to sample all the Junior High School (JHS) mathematics teachers. The sample selected was made up of 221 mathematics teachers. It was concluded that PD for mathematics teachers enhanced their mode of delivery, which improved their students’ understanding of mathematics. The study also suggests that teachers’ development of rudimentary skills and knowledge for classroom management was based on their own beliefs as well as professional beliefs and practices. The factors that contribute to low performance after PD are high and depend on the lack or unavailability of training materials for teachers to use after training and inadequate teaching and learning materials or resources to teach students. It is recommended that the government institutes a policy that requires every teacher to attend PD training to be considered for promotion. Our educational institution’s headmaster/teacher and leaders should also make it a habit to hold in-house workshops and seminars to refresh their teachers’ knowledge and skills in delivering instructional objectives. Additionally, the Ministry of Education and other non-government organisations should help improve our schools by focusing on resources that make teaching and learning better

ANÁLISIS MORFOLÓGICO Y MOLECULAR DE Coolia malayensis (DINOPHYCEAE) Y EFECTOS DE EXTRACTOS DE LA MACROALGA Dictyota dichotoma (PHAEOPHYCEAE) EN SU CRECIMIENTO
Authors: Ramos Santiago Ana Emilia
Published: March 2023

Coolia es un género que actualmente incluye ocho especies de dinoflagelados epibentónicos, siendo un grupo de interés debido a las toxinas que producen algunas especies del género (por ejemplo, cooliatoxina) y por las asociaciones que presentan con otros géneros de dinoflagelados epibentónicos toxigénicos (Ostreopsis, Amphidinium, Prorocentrum y Gambierdiscus). Existe poca información sobre la diversidad y ecología de este género en México. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron identificar mediante taxonomía integrativa (morfológica y molecular) dos aislados de Coolia (CMBAPAZ-1 y s/i 72) de la Bahía de La Paz, Golfo de California, y determinar los efectos de extractos de la macroalga Dictyota dichotoma sobre su crecimiento. Ambos aislados se cultivaron en medio GSe, con y sin extractos de macroalga: 1) medio GSe, 2) medio GSe con extracto crudo de D. dichotoma, 3) GSe con la fracción de carbohidratos de D. dichotoma, y 4) GSe con la fracción no precipitable de D. dichotoma. Los análisis morfológicos y moleculares de la región 28S del ADN ribosómico (valores bootstrap > 95%) permitieron la identificación de ambos aislados como Coolia malayensis. No hubo diferencias significativas (p < 0.05) en las abundancias celulares promedio de los aislados (CMBAPAZ-1 y s/i 72) cultivados en el medio GSe en comparación con los otros tratamientos. Las abundancias máximas registradas en las cepas CMBAPAZ-1 y s/i 72 hasta el día 28 fueron de 40,271 ± 3,018 y 43,428 ± 4,560 cél mL-1, respectivamente. Las tasas de crecimiento variaron en un rango de 0.129 a 0.139 div día-1 en ambas cepas. El extracto y las fracciones de D. dichotoma no favorecieron ni inhibieron el crecimiento de C. malayensis, por lo que no se excluye la posibilidad de que la macroalga pueda favorecer el crecimiento de este dinoflagelado en su medio natural.

The study was carried out to design a concept for developing the coal industry in the Far North of the Russian Federation. The concept is based on an assessment of the region’s prospects for the industrial development and the specific features of local coal mining. The object of the study was a set of licensed companies operating coal deposits in the Far North. The subject of the study was a long-term development concept for such companies. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the economic potential of the Far North of Russia is not fully realized. One of the promising areas for the development of the region is the creation of new coal production and processing centers. The diverse coal compositions in the Far North make it possible to produce advanced carbon products, which is an alternative direction for the use of solid fuels in the conditions of the fourth energy transition accompanied by a decrease in the role of coal in the energy sector. The article presents the results of an analysis of the current situation in the coal industry of the Far North. The analysis covers such aspects as the distribution of coal reserves, the locations of coal mine operators, their production and economic indicators, and their relationships with the external environment. Based on the results of the analysis, proposals for the development of the industry in the short and long term are formulated. The study’s novelty lies in the concretization of the list of coal mining companies operating in the Far North, the analysis of their economic indicators for the period from 2018 to 2021, and the presentation of a new concept for the development of such businesses. The study identified a lower level of coal deposit development in the Far North compared to other regions of Russia, an increase in the contribution of mining companies operating in the Far North regions to the total financial output of the coal industry, and factors limiting the growth rate of coal production in the northern areas, including the limited scope of distribution channels for end products.

The article presents the results of a scientific study that investigates the methodological approach to assessing the efficiency of geological exploration for hard-to-recover (HTR) hydrocarbon reserves. The traditional system of indicators for evaluating the geological and economic efficiency of exploration does not fully utilize the geological and geophysical data accumulated and processed as a result of studying HTR reserves. Consequently, the costs incurred by the operator rarely bring the expected positive effect. Using a system of additional indicators for evaluating exploration efficiency will increase the value of geological data, which in turn will positively impact the efficiency of the development and exploitation of HTR reserves. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the proposed system of additional indicators for evaluating the geological and economic efficiency of exploration. This system factors in the specific features of HTR reserves located within the northern territories of Russia. It is recommended for use when assessing the geological and economic efficiency of greenfield exploration projects, as it will allow for the adjustment of the estimated reserve volumes at various project stages. Since the proportion of proven oil reserves belonging to the HTR category is high (about 65 %), exploration activities aimed at reserves maturation in the short- and medium-term will play an important role in the country’s oil industry. The reduction in state funding for exploration is another factor that contributes to the search for new organizational forms and methods of exploration, especially at sites requiring more profound and detailed geological surveys, such as proven and forecast HTR reserves.

Today, the demand for environmentally responsible tourism is growing noticeably. Travelers demonstrate an interest in exploring undisturbed nature that can be found in special protection areas. As part of a network of such areas, botanical gardens can become important elements in the development of sustainable tourism in regions and cities. However, this is no easy task, as it requires preserving natural ecosystems while providing comfortable conditions for tourists. One of the foundations for environmental activities is the opinion of local communities about nature conservation. As the first step towards promoting sustainable tourism on the territory of the Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden-Institute of N. A. Avrorin (PABGI; Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences), the only botanical garden in Russia operating in the Arctic, a survey was conducted to investigate the opinions of local residents about this institution as a special protection area and the possibilities for tourism development. The Botanical Garden is an essential element of the historical and cultural landscape not only of the city of Kirovsk but also of the neighboring city of Apatity. The respondents generally demonstrated a high level of environmental awareness. However, questions about the PABGI’s territorial boundaries and the species of plants listed in the Red Book of the Murmansk region posed challenges. The survey revealed that residents of the Kirovsko-Apatitsky district have a positive attitude towards tourism development on the PABGI’s territory. They recognize that it is a protected area and that maintaining special visitation rules is crucial. The results indicate that PABGI needs to intensify its efforts in organizing educational events and interacting with the population, as respondents repeatedly noted the need to expand such activities. According to the citizens, the territory of the botanical garden is a platform where researchers, residents, nature, and culture can interact. Currently, PABGI faces difficulties in performing functions other than its primary ones of natural ecosystem conservation and research. This is largely because special regulations are required on the territory of protected areas, and there are not enough opportunities for sustainable tourism development. A consistent strategy for improving and developing tourism infrastructure needs to be developed in the future.

Taxes, viewed from the government's point of view, are the largest source of revenue. Such a significant contribution to the state makes the government pays more attention and create more effort to optimize tax revenue. However, from the company's viewpoint, tax payments are considered as costs and affect them by reducing their profits. Therefore, the differences in perspective between the government and the corporations will result in companies neglecting to pay taxes. This study analyzes the effect of profitability, company size, and capital intensity on tax aggressiveness listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange in 2018-2020.

This research uses multiple linear regression analysis with quantitative methods and uses purposive sampling as a sampling method. The research data used are in the form of financial statements of manufacturing companies in the consumption sector that have undergone an audit and publication process.

The result of this study indicates that profitability harms tax aggressiveness, company size affects tax aggressiveness, capital intensity has no effect on tax aggressiveness, and profitability, company size, and capital intensity have a simultaneous effect on tax aggressiveness.
