Published: May 2024

The kratom plant (Mitragyna speciosa Korth) is a the plant that is traditionally used to soften the skin. Kratom leaves have very strong antioxidant activity so they are predicted also to have anti-tyrosinase activity. The potential inhibition of tyrosinase enzyme activity is thought to come from the content of flavonoid compounds, polyphenols, steroids, tannins, and quinones. This research aims to determine the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of ethanol extract of M. speciosa leaves. The inhibitory activity of the tyrosinase enzyme using L-DOPA as substrate and kojic acid as positive control. Antityrosinase testing was carried out by in vitro method using UV-vis spectrophotometer through determination of IC50 value. The results of the antityrosinase activity test of ethanol extract of M. speciosa leaves showed an IC50 value of 2117.708 ppm. The ethanol extract of M. speciosa leaves is scientifically proven to have antityrosinase activity with a weak category.

Authors: Dr. Chidananda H L  , Deepthi B  , Erisha E  , Aparna Suresh
Published: May 2024

With an emphasis on Return on Assets (ROA), this study examines the interdependent dynamics of liquidity, efficiency, and dividend policy on business financial performance. With a quantitative research design, the study seeks to clarify how these components together affect organizational effectiveness. Regression analysis is used in the study to look at the associations between the dependent variable, ROA, and the important independent variables, current assets, quick ratio, liquidity, and dividend, using data from ITC Ltd. that was obtained from Moneycontrol over a five-year period (2019–2023). The findings show a strong relationship between liquidity, efficiency, dividend policy, and return on assets (ROA), with liquidity standing out as the main factor and efficiency and dividend policy following closely behind. The results highlight how crucial these variables are in determining financial performance and provide insightful information for organizational resource allocation and strategic decision-making. The study does, however, admit certain limitations, such as the possibility of wider generalizability and the dependence on data from a single organization. Further research is recommended to increase the sample size, carry out longitudinal studies, and investigate qualitative techniques in order to gain a deeper comprehension of and identify the causal factors behind the dynamics of financial success.

Published: May 2024

This article provides practical recommendations for managing corporate development projects. The peculiarities of corporate development, the bureaucratic apparatus of corporations, as well as real estate as an asset create an atypical environment for the implementation of development activities. In practice, the vast majority of corporations use a process approach to carrying out activities. This article presents recommendations for organizing business processes when implementing corporate development projects. The recommendations were developed using the example of a project to create a technological hub of Sberbank PJSC in the city of Yekaterinburg. Also, when carrying out this type of activity in a corporate environment, it is necessary to create an appropriate organizational structure that can effectively exist in conditions of a high degree of territorial distribution and heterogeneity of the real estate portfolio.
THE IMPORTANCE OF TAX CULTURE AND ITS ADVANTAGES: FOREIGN EXPERIENCE
Authors:   Institute of Economics and Finance, Chechen State University named after A. A. Kadyrov, Bisultanov Amir N.
Published: May 2024

Until now, the concept of tax culture has rarely been found in works on finance and taxation. It seems to be a new buzzword with emotional overtones. However, the history of tax culture is as long as the history of a country, because there is a country, there must be tax revenues, and tax revenues inevitably form a tax culture. However, currently there is no single view on the importance of tax culture in our country. A typical point of view is that tax culture is the sum of codes of conduct, professional ethics and professional philosophy, formed and jointly observed by tax workers during long-term tax practice, and performs inconspicuous educational management functions, which will be discussed in this article.

Formation of an organizational and economic mechanism for increasing the economic stability of an enterprise in the management of intellectual property objects
Authors: Arefiev Serhii , Vasіutkina Nataliia , Arefieva Olena , Piletska Samira
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of macro- and microeconomic factors on the formation of the management system of intellectual property objects as a structural element of the organizational and economic mechanism of increasing the economic sustainability of the enterprise. The right of ownership of intellectual products is considered an institutional prerequisite for increasing the enterprise's sustainability on an innovative basis, and objects of intellectual property are determined as a critical factor of social production. In enterprise management's organizational and economic mechanism, attention is focused on goals and incentives. It is proposed to consider increasing the economic stability of the enterprise as a complex goal of management, the reengineering of which is initiated by disturbances of various etymologies with the dominant influence of external factors. As an adaptive tool for transforming the organizational and economic mechanism of enterprise management into an open system, the creation of conditions for the effective implementation of the formation, use, and distribution of intellectual property objects is proposed. The system's components of increasing the enterprise's innovative potential are highlighted, including strategic management of intellectual property, protection of intellectual property rights, management of the intellectual property portfolio, internal knowledge management, creation of an innovative culture, and optimization of financial management of intellectual assets. A comprehensive understanding of the prerequisites for protecting intellectual property rights in the context of the institutional system functioning at the national level is presented. It has been proven that the ability to transform intellectual property objects into an influential factor in acquiring sustainability by business entities depends on the quality of public-private partnerships in terms of relations between the government, businesses, and universities.
Keywords: organizational and economic mechanism, economic stability, enterprise, intellectual property management, intellectual property objects, intellectual capital, national innovation system.

‘Lines, shapes, and colours can alter the feel of a story’- A Reading of “The Heart and the Bottle” and “The Why-Why Girl”
Authors: - Devjani Ray
Published: May 2024

Picturebooks are a powerful genre within children's literature, as they combine text and visuals, which deeply impact young readers. These books not only provide pleasure and aesthetic experiences but also help to expand children's imaginations. Molly Bang in her seminal text ‘Picture This: How Pictures Work’ (1991) delves into the intricacies of how we interpret visual elements like shape, colour, size, and composition, and the emotional impact they carry. This paper is a brief attempt to explore the application of Bang’s insights along with Moebius’s ideas in picturebooks like “The Why-Why Girl” (2003) by Mahasweta Devi (and illustrated by Kanyaka Kini) and “The Heart and the Bottle” (2010) by Oliver Jeffers.

For a Lost Drachma: Contesting Hindutva Subjectivation in India’s Universities
Authors: Sicka Bhavika
Published: May 2024

Abstract The aim of this essay is to apply Michel Foucault’s ideas on power and the practice of freedom to the context of India’s increasingly neoliberalized higher education landscape. The essay revisits Foucault’s notion of subjectivation to analyze the
cultural politics of the Hindu Right, which, through organized violence and self-disciplinary mechanisms, has attempted to masculinize, privatize, saffronize, and brahmanicize the nation-state (and the public university), erase the othered body from the nation (and campus spaces), and shape
how individuals understand themselves, their identities, and their modes of being in relation to savarna-capitalist power and knowledge. This essay will also suggest how universities in India, through transformative pedagogies, can foster, rather than inhibit, agentive, constructive, critical,
and self-creating subjectivities that interrupt and transcend Hindutva neoliberal subjectivation.

“Where are the limits of freedom?” – Paradoxes of multiple jobholding for the system of work ability promotion
Multiple jobholding (MJH) becomes more common as the complexity of societies increases. Previous research has focused mainly on the individual level study of causes and consequences of MJH. This study contributes to the literature applying the framework of paradoxes to analyse the challenges of MJH from the perspective of work ability management. Thematic interviews were conducted with 42 persons representing different stakeholders. Qualitative content analysis was used as a research method. The interviewed persons reported numerous challenges in MJH, mainly concerning the flow of information between different stakeholders. The identified paradoxes arise from the prevailing societal assumption of each employee having a single long-term full-time job. While the promotion of work ability is organised by individual employers, it poorly fits the diverse and complex situations of MJH.

Se ha observado un aumento en los trastornos mentales entre los universitarios, agravado por la pandemia de COVID-19. Se diseñó una escala de actitudes para evaluar la salud mental de estos estudiantes, abordando aspectos como bienestar ambiental y social, bienestar psicosocial, y habilidades de afrontamiento activas y pasivas. Los resultados destacan la correlación entre el bienestar psicosocial y el rendimiento académico, así como la importancia de las estrategias de afrontamiento activas en la superación de desafíos académicos. El estudio también resalta la influencia del entorno universitario en el bienestar y rendimiento académico. Los estudiantes que percibieron un entorno menos favorable enfrentaron más dificultades académicas. Se concluye que intervenciones integrales, que aborden tanto los aspectos individuales como contextuales de la salud mental, son necesarias para promover el éxito estudiantil. Se señala la necesidad de programas que fomenten habilidades de afrontamiento activas y fortalezcan el bienestar psicosocial. Además, se deben crear entornos universitarios más saludables y de apoyo. Aunque este estudio ofrece información valiosa, se destaca la importancia de investigaciones futuras para comprender mejor esta relación y desarrollar intervenciones más efectivas. En última instancia, abordar la salud mental en el contexto educativo beneficiará tanto a los estudiantes como a la comunidad universitaria en general.

A nivel mundial, los problemas medioambientales se han presentado como una de las principales dificultades para cada nación, siendo estos consecuencia de una mala o nula educación ambiental de sus habitantes, esta situación hace que la educación ambiental se constituya como una de las principales herramientas para mitigar este tipo de problemas desde el contexto educativo. Considerando esta afirmación, el objetivo principal del presente estudio es analizar el estado actual de la educación ambiental en Ecuador examinando investigaciones relacionadas con dicho tema. Para la selección de los artículos necesarios para el estudio bibliográfico se aplicó el método PRISMA, tomando en conisideración estudios comprendidos entre los años 2017 y 202, la búsqueda se realizó en fuentes de datos como (SciELO, Redalyc, Google Scholar) con base en criterios de inclusión y exclusión previamente establecidos. Los resultados señalan que, si bien es cierto la educación ambiental en Ecuador ha tenido avances importantes en los últimos años, aún existe una gran brecha entre el país y otros de la región donde la educación ambiental se ha establecido hace varios años. Se fomenta también la creación de programas de educación ambiental que se relacionen directamente con el desarrollo sostenible.

La presente tesis doctoral en Salud Pública evalúa la efectividad del programa "Cuidando mis ojos", diseñado para prevenir el ojo seco asociado al uso de ordenadores en pacientes de oftalmología de 18 a 25 años en el Hospital Dafi Salud Surco Pueblo durante el 2023. A través de un diseño experimental y aplicando una metodología de pre test y post test a una muestra de 40 pacientes, este estudio investiga la incidencia del programa experimental en la mejora de la salud ocular. Los hallazgos revelan una mejora significativa en la prevención del ojo seco, con una diferencia de medias de 6,88 y una incidencia de 0,811, corroborando la hipótesis general de la investigación sobre la efectividad del programa. La fuerza de la correlación entre la participación en el programa y la salud ocular de los participantes indica un impacto positivo considerable, subrayando la relevancia de incorporar estrategias preventivas en el manejo oftalmológico de jóvenes adultos. Este estudio contribuye a la literatura existente sobre prevención de enfermedades oculares inducidas por el uso de tecnología, demostrando la importancia de intervenciones educativas y preventivas dirigidas a poblaciones en riesgo. Con estos resultados, la tesis propone una reflexión sobre la necesidad de integrar programas como "Cuidando mis ojos" en los servicios de salud oftalmológica para mitigar los efectos negativos del uso prolongado de ordenadores en la vista, ofreciendo una base sólida para futuras investigaciones y políticas de salud pública enfocadas en la prevención de trastornos visuales.

El artículo describe el desarrollo de un prototipo de prótesis biomecánica para el antebrazo, fabricado mediante impresión 3D con filamento PETG. Este dispositivo es activado por señales electromiográficas (EMG) detectadas por sensores que captan las contracciones musculares. Las señales son interpretadas por una Raspberry Pi Pico, que ejecuta un código para activar un servomotor y así permitir movimientos de agarre con la prótesis. El objetivo principal es recuperar parcialmente la funcionalidad de una extremidad faltante. Esta combinación de tecnologías ofrece una solución innovadora y de bajo costo para mejorar la calidad de vida de personas con amputaciones de antebrazo. Además, la utilización de la impresión 3D permite una personalización eficiente y rápida del dispositivo, adaptándose a las necesidades individuales del usuario.(esto no viene en el resumen, puede colocarse en conclusiones, indiquen cual es la ventaja de su prótesis con las ya existente).

Nowadays, cooperative communication algorithms have been utilized in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to enhance the overall network performance. As is well known, a WSN needs to consider a number of important factors, such as the energy effectiveness and the longevity of the sensor nodes. The energy-aware cooperative medium access control (EC-MAC) protocol is a novel protocol proposed in this paper for usage in WSNs. EC-MAC protocol allows the source nodes to use the intermediate nodes as relays that can be used to transmit the source's data to the access point (AP). This paper demonstrates how the suggested relay selection method can be used by the EC-MAC protocol to choose the best relay node. After channel state information (CSI) has been calculated and acquired, the best relay should have the highest residual energy and the quickest transmission time. Then, by establishing suitable cooperative links, data transmission from a source node to an AP can be carried out. The effectiveness of the EC-MAC protocol in terms of system energy efficiency is examined in this study using the MATLAB simulation tool and compares the outcomes with other cooperative protocols like Modified Cooperative Access MAC Protocol (MCA-MAC) and Throughput and Energy aware Cooperative MAC Protocol (TEC-MAC) and the performance of WSNs employing the suggested EC-MAC protocol is examined in this research for both ideal and dynamic channel conditions. EC-MAC protocol achieved energy efficiency improvements of 20%, and 40% respectively, more than MCA-MAC and TEC-MAC protocols. The results indicated that EC-MAC protocol offers a higher level of energy efficiency for the WSN than other cooperative protocols currently in use.
