Vedic Beliefs on Environment and Sustainable Development
Authors: Kalauni Mukund Ballabh
Published: October 2024

Sustainable development means creating an environment that is necessary for humans without disturbing the nature. The concept of sustainable development emerged when in the name of progress nature was being destroyed, often neglecting the wisdom passed down from our ancestors. The objective of this research paper is to explain the Vedic knowledge in the context of the sustainable development as a modern concept and to find the facts related to environment and development. The research is qualitatively designed using available secondary sources of information and knowledge of Vedas, Upanishads, Purans and Niti Sholkas related to environment and sustainable development. To make it more informative, interviews were carried out with key informants as primary sources of data. As mentioned in the Atharvaved, earth is assumed as mother and all creatures are her children, which showed the positive attitude of environment protection. The emphasis on the purity and protection of river, jungle and air needs to be revived and only then the concept of sustainable development can be meaningful. Vedic literature will be much useful to understand the concept of development in a comprehensive way. It is notable fact that the earth is useful for humans as well as for all creatures of the world and for the whole universe. Only the way to protect the universe from tensions, pollutions, war and conflicts is Vedic concept that regards the universe as a family. Only by incorporating Vedic knowledge into the concept of modern development can we meet the standards of sustainable development.

Performance of Superstitious Practice: Resistance of Gender and Class Roles in Deuki
Authors: Bhattarai Krishna Prasad
Published: October 2024

This paper examines the treatment of gender and class roles in the Nepali cultural film Deuki, which highlights the contemporary practices and rituals prevalent in Far-Western Province of Nepal. The primary objective is to analyze the performance of superstitious beliefs and practices associated with the 'Deuki'[1] system, focusing on the injustices faced by girls who are auctioned under the guise of 'Deuki Pratha[2].' This research reveals that these girls experience severe oppression and mistreatment, often being denied agency and basic rights. However, it posits that through empowerment, even the most marginalized individuals can resist such injustices. The study employs theoretical frameworks from performance studies and feminist theory to explore these issues. The findings underscore a critical need for continued discourse on the socio-cultural implications of the ‘Deuki’ system, emphasizing that while awareness and advocacy have led to some decline in this practice, significant challenges remain. The conclusion advocates for further research and policy recommendations to address the evil cultural and ritual practices in Nepal.

Forecasting the Stock Market Returns Using nonlinear hybrid GARCH-SETAR model
Authors: Fraz Tayyab Raza
Published: October 2024

Forecasting stock market returns is a valuable tool for investors seeking to enhance their gains in stock trading. Predicting stock prices proves to be a formidable endeavor due to its substantial volatility, non-linear characteristics trends, and responsiveness to multifaceted variables, including economic conditions, market trends, seasonality, and sentiment. Despite these complexities, non-linear methodologies like threshold time series and conditional heteroscedasticity models are underutilized. This study aims to assess the predictive capabilities of a hybrid GARCH-SETAR model in the context of stock market returns, encompassing both Islamic and conventional stocks listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. The Islamic and conventional stock markets in Pakistan represented by KMI-30, KSE-30 and KSE-100 selected contain daily data from January, 2012 till June, 2023. After the confirmation of stationarity, ARCH effect and non-linearity by ADF, PP unit root, ARCH-LM and BDS test respectively the best estimated linear traditional Box-Jenkins ARIMA, non-linear threshold SETAR and ARIMA-GARCH models are selected based on AIC and BIC information criteria’s. The best proposed hybrid GARCH-SETAR model is also selected based on AIC and BIC information criteria’s. It is revealed that the one-step-ahead recursive forecast performance proposed hybrid GARCH-SETAR model outperforms all other selected linear and non-linear models for both Islamic and conventional stock markets based on RMSE, MAE, MAPE and SMAPE forecast evaluation criteria’s.
Impact of Microfinance Institutions Lending on SMEs Growth in Zimbabwe
Authors: Kueredza Taonga
Published: October 2024

This study investigated on the impact of microfinance lending on Small to Medium enterprises (SMEs) growth. This study adopted pragmatism philosophy wherein both positivism and interpretivism approaches were deployed. This study also adopted descriptive and explanatory research designs; the explanatory design for quantitative research and the descriptive survey for qualitative research. Proportionate stratified random sampling was used to select respondents that participated in questionnaires and judgemental sampling to select respondents who participated in interviews. Data was collected through the use of questionnaires with closed ended questions and interview guide instruments. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Thematic Approach, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Word packages. The study found that MFIs sell financial and non-financial products to clients. MFIs provide basic business skills, help with capital investment decisions, general business management and risk management. This finding extends the current body of knowledge on microfinance institutions lending impacts on SME growth. The study recommends that leadership strategy is one of the important strategies that can be embraced by MFIs to enable them survive competition in the market. MFIs need to increase flexibility, use holistic and innovative financing, employ research, take advantage of technology and make lending personal to SMEs. Because the transactions are frequently small and the clients are mostly from difficult-to-reach locations, most formal financial institutions regard the poor as high risk and high cost. Microfinance institutions must break these barriers. This allows low-income families (SMEs) to stabilize their income flows and save for future needs. MFIs need to keep on providing their services to SMEs. MFIs also need to keep providing business training to equip SMEs with requisite skills in savings mobilization and micro enterprise investment options. Policymakers and other social partners must develop and implement strategies to boost SME growth in their respective countries. To build a knowledge base for SME growth, authorities at the local, national, and regional levels must conduct evidence-based analysis to feed social dialogue and policymaking processes.
Importance of pumice amount in the design of self-compacting lightweight concrete
Authors: Karadağ Enes Miraç , Gürocak Mustafa , Kına Ceren , Türk Kazım
Published: October 2024

Although concrete has high compressive strength values, it has a heavy unit volume and low tensile strength. In this study, the normal-weight aggregate, which takes up the most space in concrete by volume and mass, was partially replaced with pumice aggregate, and macro steel fiber (30 mm) was also added to the mixtures. This experimental work aims to investigate the effect of pumice aggregate amount on the fresh and hardened properties, as well as the flexural performance of the self-compacting lightweight concrete (SCLC). The replacement proportions of pumice aggregate with crushed sand were arranged as 45%, 50%, and 55% of the entire aggregate by weight. Three mixtures, each with 1% macro steel fiber reinforcement and without fiber, were prepared for each mixture scenario. The mix design of these six mixtures was arranged to achieve the self-compacting ability and the workability tests recommended by EFNARC (slump-flow, T50, J-ring) were taken into account. To investigate the mechanical properties (compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths) and flexural toughness of the samples, the specimens were cured in water at 23±2 °C for 28 days. As a result, the unit volume weights of the specimens produced from pumice-substituted mixtures decreased with the increase in the pumice dosage, while the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths decreased. However, it has been determined that all SCLC mixtures including pumice aggregate provided workability properties in general and had enough compressive strength to be used in the production of structural bearing elements, regardless of fiber content. As a result, the optimum pumice aggregate replacement percentage with crushed sand was found to be 45% and the best flexural performance values of the specimens having macro steel fiber were observed in the ones having 45% pumice aggregate substitution.

Ceratophyllum demersum L. is a hydrophyte with potential for use as an analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drug. It has also been stated that it is a hepatoprotective and anti-diarrheal agent with potential use in stomach disorders and respiratory diseases. Our study investigated the anti-amoebic activity of C. demersum, which became a hydrophyte underwater collected from Samsun River Miliç. Different concentrations of the pathogenic strain of Acanthamoeba castellanii (ATCC 30010) and the ethanolic extract of C. demersum were used to determine anti-Acanthamoeba activity. A. castellanii trophozoites were treated with C. demersum extract at different concentrations ranging from 1.9, 3.8, 7.6, 15.2, 30.4, 60.8 µg/mL and incubated at 26°C for 72 h. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of C. demersum extract was approximately 42.5 µg/mL at 72 hours. Trophozoite cell viability decreased to 42% and 58.33% in the presence of 30.4 and 60.8 µg/mL C. demersum extract at 72 hours, respectively. These results indicate that the ethanolic extract of C. demersum has anti-Acanthamoeba activity against A. castellanii trophozoites. The study highlights that this extract can be a potential protective drug source against Acanthamoeba trophozoites.

Authors: Zadorozna V. , Zhyla V. , Lysychenko M. , Kosulina N. , Yakushenko E.
Published: October 2024

The article is dedicated to the development of innovative equipment for the inactivation of milk microflora. It provides an analysis of existing methods to suppress the growth and destruction of microorganisms in milk, aiming to enhance product quality indicators. The advantages and disadvantages of current pasteurization equipment are highlighted. An overview of alternative methods for milk inactivation is presented, focusing on the impact of ultraviolet radiation on bacteria and lower organisms. It is concluded that a major advantage of ultraviolet (UV) milk treatment, in addition to its bactericidal effect, is its minimal impact on proteins under efficient operating conditions.

Considering the limited penetration of UV rays into milk, a device is proposed—a milk disinfection separator that separates microorganisms from the main product by placing them in the form of a thin laminar film accessible for effective irradiation. Special attention is given to justifying the parameters of the UV irradiation section. The methodology for hydraulic calculation of device movement is presented, along with a method for determining the bactericidal effectiveness of UV irradiation on microorganisms and the necessary lethal dose for this purpose.

By specifying the system's productivity, knowing the bactericidal dose required to deactivate bacteria, and considering the irradiation intensity of the UV source, the dimensions of the irradiation section and the required electrical power of the equipment are determined.

The article proposes modern LED arrays with the necessary UV wavelength range, along with diagrams for their connection and equipment control.

Research of direct and inverse problems of sensitivity using methods of practical stability by direction
Authors: Pantalienko L.
Published: October 2024

The general statements of the problems of construction of extreme ranges of tolerances on parameters for a linear system of differential equations in the presence of dynamic restrictions on the spread of the state vector are considered. It was found that such sensitivity problems are closely related to the problems of estimating the maximum area of stability in the corresponding function space.

In order to obtain upper estimates of the sought values, the problem of estimating tolerances from the positions of stability in a single direction is formalized. The cases of linear and nonlinear restrictions on the spread of the phase coordinate vector with initial linear initial conditions relative to the vector of the system parameters are studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions are formulated in the form of criteria for estimating tolerances on parameters covering the case of fixed initial conditions.

The tasks of estimating the maximum volume of the stability region with respect to the deviations of the state vectors and system parameters are considered. For the case of compatible admissible constraints, the paper gives the corresponding numerical calculations for the upper estimates. In particular, for fixed initial conditions, the maximum set of tolerances for system parameters with compatible dynamic restrictions on fluctuations of state vectors and parameters are determined according to these evaluation criteria.

From the standpoint of practical stability in direction, direct sensitivity problems are investigated, numerical estimates of the spread of the phase coordinate vector of the system in the presence of linear and fixed initial conditions relative to the parameter vector are given.

It has been demonstrated that in the given specification of the problem of maximum estimation of tolerances it is completely covered by problem statements of practical stability by direction. Thus, to calculate areas of guaranteed sensitivity, the concept of practical stability in a single direction is extended to the space of sensitivity functions at the initial moment of time.

The above algorithms are used to estimate the range of tolerances for the adjustment parameters of the discrete model of the induction acceleration system with the given limitations on the spread of the quality criterion; the variation of the quality indicator within the tolerance field is presented in the form of a linear form relative to the spread of the parameter vector.
Lenguaje e interpretación en la noción de probabilidad de Gottfried Leibniz
Authors: Quintero Núñez Helmer , Pérez Pulido Gelver , Álvarez-García Andrés
Published: October 2024

Introducción: Se plantea el objetivo de explorar cómo la probabilidad puede ser aplicada para entender interpretaciones y significados en contextos no solo matemáticos sino también filosóficos y lingüísticos desde una perspectiva leibniziana. Metodología: La investigación se desarrolla siguiendo una metodología predominantemente teórica y analítica. El estudio sigue un enfoque hermenéutico que determina concepciones desde la dialéctica interpretativa de textos de referencia. Resultados: El grado de esencia le reporta al sujeto un dato ontológico que se encapsula bajo el estatuto preciso y controlado del número. Las alternativas de sentido y la polisemia del lenguaje exigen que la matematización de la hermenéutica se haga de forma exhaustiva, de modo que el número, como extracto ontológico, provea un indicio de realidad. Discusión: La probabilidad no sólo ayuda a modelar matemáticamente la realidad, sino que también permite entender y predecir comportamientos y resultados en contextos donde la certeza es inalcanzable. Conclusiones: El análisis conceptual refleja el entrelazamiento de la probabilidad y la filosofía, particularmente a través de la figura y el trabajo de Leibniz.
Introduction to the Special Issue: New Anthropological Perspectives on Children and Youth on the Move
Authors: Tchermalykh Nataliya , Millán Elisa Floristán
Published: October 2024

This special issue of Anthropology in Action focuses on the intersection of two equally important, and yet unequally researched, areas of anthropological inquiry: migration and childhood. In recent years, the mediatic attention to migration has led to an increased visibility of children and youth moving through transnational contexts, often with limited access to social and economic resources. Undoubtedly, the transnational movement of young people is far from a recent phenomenon. On the contrary, historically these individuals had more chances to successfully travel long distances in search of a more fulfilled life than their older counterparts. Migration – a movement of people, associated with hopes and prospects for a better life, but also driven by fears of violence and poverty – has always had a young face.

Authors: Lešić Tina , Zadravec Manuela , Markov Ksenija , Pleadin Jelka
Published: October 2024

Glavni razlog identifikacije vrsta plijesni u hrani njihova je sposobnost produkcije mikotoksina koji imaju toksično djelovanje, bilo da se želi eliminirati rast toksikotvornih vrsta i na taj način osigurati zdravstvenu ispravnost hrane, bilo da se želi detektirati vrsta ili soj plijesni koje nemaju sposobnost produkcije mikotoksina, kako bi se mogle koristiti u druge svrhe, poput proizvodnje fermentirane hrane. U identifikaciji toksikovornih plijesni preporuka je koristiti polifazni pristup, koji uz tradicionalni opis makro- i mikro- morfoloških karakteristika, uključuje i molekularne metode identifikacije analizom karakterističnih genskih markera DNA. Plijesni koje se mogu naći na površini tradicionalnih mesnih proizvoda, koji se termički ne obrađuju, imaju ulogu u senzorskim svojstvima takvih gotovih proizvoda, a pripadaju rodu Aspergillus i Penicillium. Za identifikaciju Penicillium vrsta preporuča se DNA regija β-tubulina, a za Aspergillus vrste DNA regija kalmodulina. Za identifikaciju toksikotvornih vrsta s tradicionalnih mesnih proizvoda analizirati se mogu regije uključene u sintezu mikotoksina aflatoksina, sterigmatocistina, okratoksina A, ciklopiazonične kiseline, citrinina i sl. Međutim, za većinu mikotoksina biosintetski putevi nisu potpuno okarakterizirani pa su tako i geni koji kodiraju za enzime uključene u biosintezu ovih sekundarnih metabolita slabije poznati te zahtjevaju daljnja istraživanja u svrhu razvoja metoda za brzu i točniju identifikaciju plijesni. Ovaj rad daje prikaz metoda koje se mogu koristiti u identifikaciji plijesni za različite vrste namirnica te su posebno primjenjive za identifikaciju površinskih plijesni na tradicionalnim mesnim proizvodima

Diffusion coefficients of Al2Cl7– in low temperature chloroaluminate melt based on triethylamine hydrochloride
Authors: Borozdin A. V. , Elterman V. A.
Published: October 2024

With the growing demand for renewable energy sources, much of the research in the battery industry is focused on creating safe and high-capacity energy storage systems that can handle high current loads using inexpensive and readily available materials. The aluminum-ion batteries (AIB) are considered as one of the most promising systems. Such materials as aluminum metal, carbon materials and chloroaluminate ionic liquids are used as anode, cathode and electrolyte, respectively. A low-temperature chloroaluminate melt based on triethylamine hydrochloride (Et3NHCl) is promising and inexpensive electrolytes for AIBs. This melt has the ability to reversibly precipitate/dissolve aluminum metal due to the presence of the Al2Cl7– ion in it. However, the diffusion of Al2Cl7– ions in the Et3NHCl–AlCl3 system has not been studied previously. In the presented work, the concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficients of the Al2Cl7– anion was studied using chronopotentiometry in the concentration range N = 1.3–1.95 (where N is the molar ratio of aluminum chloride to organic salt). It was shown that diffusion coefficients increase with aluminum chloride content growth in the studied melt: from 1.71·10–7 (N = 1.3) to 4.50·10–7 cm2·s–1 (N = 1.95). This behavior can be caused by the viscosity decrease of the melts with Al2Cl7– concentration growth. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that Et3NHCl–AlCl3 with N = 1.95 is the most suitable electrolyte for AIB. Moreover, it was established that the electrochemical reduction of the Al2Cl7– on the surface of the aluminum electrode is complicated by the nucleation process, which has the lowest overvoltage at N = 1.95.

In the course of export and import operations, the identification of goods plays an important role in ensuring the correct execution of customs declarations, compliance with customs regulations, and determining the rate of customs duties and other payments. Identification is a preliminary stage of the classification of goods and is important in shaping the flow of goods, accelerating customs procedures and improving their efficiency. It should be noted that a purely commodity-based approach to the classification of goods will be somewhat different from the customs approach, as the customs approach must adhere to the basic rules of interpretation of the explanations, exceptions and notes to sections and groups, terminology, and must take into account the properties, signs, indicators and methods of determination that are accepted as determinative and recommended when identifying classification groups.
Despite the existence of many scientific works on the topic of this study, the essence of identification as a component of the process of export-import operations in Ukraine has not yet been clarified, aspects of the current state of functioning have not been identified, and ways of modernisation and means of identification of goods in export-import operations have not been proposed.
The purpose of this study is to analyse the current state of affairs and to provide recommendations on how to create effective and reliable procedures for the identification of goods in order to improve export-import operations and ensure compliance with legislation and technical regulations.
Thus, the identification of goods in the course of export-import operations is a set of actions of customs officials aimed at controlling the information on the customs value of goods transported across the customs border of Ukraine, with mandatory verification of accompanying documents for such goods and information on the counterparties to foreign economic transactions under which certain export-import operations were carried out.

With the development of the economy and constant changes in the external environment, it became more difficult for Ukrainian agricultural enterprises to conduct their activities, especially under the influence of two factors, namely the pandemic and the war. The Ukrainian economy, companies and population had not yet recovered from the consequences of COVID-19 when a full-scale invasion began, which forever changed the realities of both the agricultural sector and entrepreneurship. Global climate changes, international trade conditions, technological development and demographic changes were also important external factors, which created new challenges and opportunities for agricultural enterprises. In this context, there is a need to carry out their strategic analysis to determine competitiveness and develop effective development strategies. However, at the moment there is a need for a more detailed study of issues related to the analysis of internal and external factors, their interrelationship and influence on strategic decision-making in the agricultural sector. Thus, the problem that needs to be solved is the development of an integrated methodological approach for the strategic analysis of agricultural enterprises, which would take into account various aspects of their functioning and the impact of changes in the external environment.
The article is devoted to a strategic analysis of the agricultural enterprise «Dekoplant». Based on the performed PEST and SWOT analyses, main threats, opportunities, strengths, and weaknesses of both the internal and external environments were identified. Among the identified threats and weaknesses are changes in trade policy conditions, national legislation, currency exchange rate fluctuations (USD and Euro), a weak development strategy, and ineffective marketing platforms. The opportunities and strengths encompass heightened quality and service level demands, high product quality, a diverse range of products, extensive experience, and a large customer base. The article highlights the significance of strategic analysis for efficient enterprise management and gaining competitive advantages. Additionally, top companies in Ukraine's agricultural sector were investigated to determine key industry trends and competitiveness. The analytical approach enables well-founded recommendations for optimizing the strategy of the «Dekoplant» enterprise considering the identified internal and external threats.

The study outlines the approaches toward the rationalization of the technological process of pellet production by combining iron ore extraction in the quarry, its milling, concentrate enrichment, pellet firing. The practice of system implementation of modern technology of flotation processing of iron content into the concentrate as a strategic task of improving the quality of pellets is described.
The peculiarities of involving a significant percentage of "low-grade" ores in production in case of necessity are revealed. It was concluded that the implementation and successful functioning of the quality management system are affected by engineering mistakes, poor cooperation with suppliers, the return of low-quality products to the enterprise, additional transportation expenses.  The sequence of development of the fundamental documents of the quality management system regarding the implementation of the policy in the field of expansion of export supplies of pellets and improvement of the organizational structure of the company's management is covered.
The iron content in pellets was predicted using the auto regression model. An improved structure of management of foreign economic activity in case of the implementation of the project on additional production of high-quality pellets is proposed. The costs for increasing the volume of production of iron ore raw materials for the project for the successful functioning of the automated management system for the entire technological process of charge preparation, pelletizing and firing of pellets are systematically defined.
A risk assessment was carried out in conditions of implementation of the model for calculating the capital assets of the complex of equipment for the production of high-quality pellets of a well-known global company. Decisions regarding the positioning of the plant's pellets on the world market with determination of the pricing strategy are justified.

The article explores the possibilities and ways of using information technologies for document management and electronic reporting at logistics enterprises.
Theoretical approaches to understanding the goals and tasks of logistics information systems in transport technologies have been considered. The main information technology systems that change the logistics industry in modern conditions have been characterized, namely: RPA; chat bots; visualization; Artificial Intelligence; predictive analytics.
The electronic technologies used for information provision in Ukrainian practice, the IT-Enterprise ERP system of JSC ‘Ukrposhta’ and the CRM system of the company ‘Epicentr K’ have been analyzed. Their characteristics and advantages of use have been defined.
It have been found that the basis of the functional component of the modern information system is a single module of operations between the links of the logistics system, which determines the relationship between the functional divisions of the company (in terms of the implementation of logistics functions), intermediate links and consumers of the company’s products.
The implementation of a logistics information system in the work of a logistics enterprise makes it possible: - to increase the efficiency of its work, achieve a high level of service for customers and ensure effective control; - to ensure a modern approach to the management of implementation processes and the organization of various types of events; - to monitor the efficiency of commercial operations; - to conduct an analysis of the profitability of the activity; - to increase the effectiveness of price policy, etc.
The problems of the introduction of electronic document flow and reporting systems in Ukraine have been noted: - the problem of interoperability in electronic document flow; - lack of clear standards and requirements for electronic reporting, companies may hesitate to switch to this type of reporting; – constant changes in legislation and requirements can create difficulties for enterprises in implementing stable electronic reporting systems; - inconsistency of electronic reporting formats with global ones; high implementation costs; - concerns about data privacy and security can deter companies from switching to electronic reporting, especially when the security of information on the network is at stake.

The article examines accounting methods for the purpose of financial reporting using the example of national and global application of rules and standards. General research methods were used: analysis, synthesis, comparison and grouping, schematic display of results. The research methodology takes into account a generalization of domestic and foreign features of accounting methods and methods for preparing financial statements, scientific analysis of standards of accounting methods, fundamental provisions of economic theory, accounting and reporting.
A comparison of accounting approaches according to NP(S)BU 1 "General Requirements for Financial Reporting" and International Financial Reporting Standards IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" was carried out to assess the state of national accounting methods with world practice. Separate measures are proposed to systematize methods for preparing financial statements.
The need to take into account the characteristics and essence of individual species using the modeling method is substantiated, which will allow generating reporting in conditions close to international standards.
The results of the study can be useful for further approximation of the conditions and features of the application of accounting and reporting methods according to national to international standards.
The study analyzed and summarized the state of regulatory regulation of the application of accounting methods for the preparation of financial statements, taking into account national and international aspects. It has been determined that the accounting method is a system of interrelated methods and techniques for displaying the value of objects. Accounting methods are general scientific and specific, and it is the latter that are the object of regulatory regulation at both the national and international levels. It is noted that national accounting standards should take into account all methods that contribute to the preparation of financial statements close to international standards. For the current state of accounting science and practice, taking into account the achievements of foreign standards of accounting and reporting, the most practical direction of improving methods is the use of the modeling method. The issues of accounting and reporting need further study through the prism of the elements of the accounting method reflected in the accounting policy.
