Water management and irrigation for bulb onion (Allium cepa L.) growth and development in the Papua New Guinea Highlands
Authors: Aku Rodney , Kristiansen Paul , Coleman Michael
Published: May 2024

Water is crucial for nutrient intake, transportation, temperature regulation, and photosynthesis in bulb onion (Allium cepa L.) growth and development. Water scarcity, caused by climate variability and particularly during prolonged dry periods, has proved to be an obstacle to cultivating bulb onions in the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Highlands. Farmers have a limited grasp of the interdependence of soil, water, and plants. They have traditionally depended on precipitation, and water from streams and rivers, to irrigate their bulb onion crops. The main method for providing irrigation support is manual irrigation, with agricultural organisations assisting with basic irrigation technologies. Despite farmers and organisations efforts to improve irrigation practices, the prolonged dry season still raises labour demands for bulb onion farms. Farmers’ lack of knowledge about irrigation technology and soil water conservation contributes to this issue. Moreover, the lack of irrigation suppliers worsens the issue of limited soil water in onion farms. This paper gives an overview of onion production in PNG, focusing on irrigation practices and constraints in the Highlands region. It aims to stress irrigation’s importance in crop growth and explore PNG’s irrigation methods and soil moisture conservation practices. There is a need for a sustainable irrigation and soil water conservation system that is easy to use and incorporates crop water requirements. This system is vital for watering onions and conserving soil moisture, promoting their growth and yield. In this context, the use of mulch and irrigation systems can preserve and enhance soil moisture during prolonged dry phases.

Functioning of the commercial real estate market in times of war
Authors: Bodnaruk Iryna , Platko Andrii
Published: May 2024

One of the fundamental factors influencing the state of the commercial real estate market is the changes in key indicators. During the war and after its end, the intentions of Ukrainians and entrepreneurs to invest directly in various business areas will significantly impact their changes. Although the war in Ukraine continues to change the domestic real estate market, the commercial real estate segment - shopping malls, offices, and warehouses - is no exception. Therefore, quite exciting trends have begun to emerge that have changed specific requirements and demands of potential tenants for real estate. A developed commercial real estate market characterizes the level of sophistication of the entire national economy. Commercial real estate plays a vital role in the modern business environment, providing space for various fields of activity. Therefore, the article analyzes the essence and importance of the effective functioning of the commercial real estate market for the country, as it is a much more critical sector of the economy than it might seem at first glance. Given this, a study of the current state of Ukraine's commercial real estate sector was carried out to identify the leading indicators describing the state and situation in the commercial real estate market. Moreover, it will establish the conditions and requirements for the facilities to ensure their continuous development in times of war and uncertainty. For this purpose, the following research methods were used: comparative analysis to establish theoretical aspects, methods of statistical and analytical analysis, systematization and grouping, and situational and systematic analysis of information sources. Not many scholars study the commercial real estate market economy, as consulting companies and analytical agencies mainly deal with it. However, this does not diminish its relevance, as the market's activation and efficient functioning directly reflects our country's economic growth, both now and in the near future, which requires systematic and thorough further research.

Study of the profitability of the hospitality industry: statistical aspect
Authors: Ostapenko Yana
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to a statistical study of the profitability of the hospitality industry, particularly temporary accommodation, and catering enterprises, as a component of the hospitality industry. The study's relevance in recent years is noted, as the industry has suffered significant losses due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and full-scale invasion. The latest publications on this issue are studied. It is determined that scientists have studied the activities of hospitality enterprises mainly at the micro level. Scientific discussions on the issues of profitability and profitability of the hospitality business at the macro level using statistical analysis are practically absent, which led to this study. Using the graphical method and the calculated statistical indicators of dynamics over the past ten years, the net profit (loss) dynamics of temporary accommodation and catering enterprises are analyzed. It is determined that enterprises are primarily unprofitable. To determine the reasons for the unprofitability of the industry, the factors influencing the profitability of the hospitality business are selected: net income from sales of products (goods, works, services), other operating income, other income, and expenses. Using correlation and regression analysis, the influence of each factor on net profit (loss) is calculated. It is determined that the indicators significantly impact the income item "Other income" and expenses. Based on the results of the calculations, a multivariate regression model was built and analyzed, which confirmed a significant positive impact of other income on net profit (loss) and a negative impact on expenses. Using the trend analysis, the author determines the trend and forecasts the industry's net profit (loss) for 2024 and 2025, which demonstrates a tendency to further reduce the industry's profitability without effective measures for its development. It is determined that to avoid further deepening of the crisis in the hospitality sector, it is necessary to implement effective strategies and measures both at the level of enterprises and the level of the State.
Keywords: hospitality industry, profitability of the hospitality industry, statistical analysis of profitability of the hospitality industry.

Women Reservation Bill in Lok Sabha: A Century Long Struggle for Gender Equality
Authors: - Jaspreet Kaur
Published: May 2024

Women in India have been granted various rights over the years to establish gender equality and to improve their number in decision making. Efforts were started when the demand for separate political reservation for women was made in 1920 during the national movement for Independence. It was the Government of India Act, 1935 by which reservation of seats for women was given. The issue was debated at length during the debates of Constituent Assembly. Committee on the Status of Women in India (CSWI) 1971, recommended reservation for women in local bodies. National Perspective Plan for Women 1988-2000 recommended reservation for women in all elected bodies from Panchayats to Parliament that resulted in 73rd and 74th Amendment. To ensure their presence in national and state legislatures, a Bill seeking to reserve seats for women was introduced in 1996 in the Parliament. But due to narrow political interests of different political parties and lack of consensus among them, it could not succeed to get the approval of the Parliament. Finally, the passage of Women Reservation Bill in September 2023 with conditions is a golden moment in Indian Parliamentary history.

Published: May 2024

People are self-medicating more during the COVID-19 pandemic because they can't get to good medical tools. This makes their health situations worse. This study suggests a drug suggestion system that uses machine learning and emotion analysis of patient reviews to make the job of healthcare workers easier. We use different vectorization methods, like Bag of Words (BoW), TF-IDF, Word2Vec, and Manual Feature Analysis, to guess how people feel about certain diseases and suggest the best drugs for them. We use classification methods, such as LinearSVC, to rate emotions based on their accuracy, F1-score, precision, and AUC score. The results show that LinearSVC with TF-IDF vectorization works well, as it achieved 93% accuracy, which was better than other models. By making drug suggestions, this system aims to make it easier for people to get medical care when they need it most, especially during emergencies.
Syncretic Narratives: Ethnic Diversity and Identity Politics in Post-Colonial Malaysia
Authors: - Himani Choubey , - Deepali Sharma
Published: May 2024

The account of post-colonial Malaysia is indeed an intricate one, the relationship between the ethnic bunch and identity politics is both dynamic and complicated, creating a syncretic narrative with nuanced understanding of human culture. Delving into the many layers of Malaysia's socio-political landscape to examine the subtle linkages between ethnicity, culture, and power relations. A mosaic of nationalities, each adding to the rich fabric of the country's cultural past. Malaysia is an amalgamation of many customs, dialects, and beliefs, ranging from the Indigenous Orang Asli to the Malay majority, as well as the Chinese diaspora and India. However, underneath the facade of diversity is a crucible of identity politics, where historical grudges and power imbalances collide with current socio-economic realities. The legacy of British Colonialism with its divide and rule strategy, may still be felt in Malaysia's socio-political environment, impacting notions of race and identity today. While attempts to construct a national identity have been made, they frequently collide with notions of ethnic dominance and marginalization, exacerbating tensions and divides within Malaysian society. The quest for a unified national identity is loaded with difficulties, as Malaysia grapples with the complexity of its heterogeneous background while under the constraints of globalization and modernity. Despite the obstructions, there are moments of optimism and resilience as Malaysians traverse the contours of their hybrid identity, gaining strength from the variety that distinguishes their country. Through debate, openness, and a commitment to social justice, Malaysia has the opportunity to break free from identity politics and embrace a more inclusive and equitable future.

Rhythm Disorders in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) - What Therapeutic Options are Available?
Authors: - Z. BENNOUI
Published: May 2024

Rhythm disorders in PAH are rare. In practice, they pose a therapeutic management challenge. Right ventricular dysfunction associated with hypoxia influences the prescription of antiarrhythmics; some of them are even contraindicated. We report three cases of idiopathic PAH complicated by atrial flutter (2 cases) and atrial fibrillation (1 case). The patients experienced right heart failure after a stabilization phase with specific vasodilators (bosentan, sildenafil, iloprost). They were treated with oral amiodarone, alongside treatment for right heart failure. Potassium levels were normal. Beta-blockers were not prescribed due to severe right ventricular dysfunction with arterial hypotension. Unfortunately, two patients developed hyperthyroidism secondary to amiodarone. Through these observations, we will discuss the different therapeutic options in these situations, referencing the literature.

Authors: - Ayşe Karahan
Published: May 2024

National gardens are an important element of green spaces in today's cities, meeting the needs of the community for recreation, sports and interaction. However, environmental and social challenges facing cities are leading to changes in the design and function of these gardens. The concept of resilient cities refers to the resilience of cities against natural disasters, climate change and other risks. National gardens can be designed as an important part of becoming resilient cities. Equipping these gardens with structures resistant to various natural disasters and adopting sustainable practices such as water management can increase the overall resilience of the city. Sustainable city and eco-city concepts are also important elements to consider in the design of community gardens. These concepts include principles such as environmental sustainability, energy efficiency and strengthening green infrastructure. National gardens can be equipped with sustainable practices such as rainwater recycling systems, the use of local plant species and waste management. Nation gardens designed in this way not only provide recreation and relaxation for city residents, but also contribute to the environmental and social sustainability of the city. In addition, these gardens encourage community cohesion and solidarity. As a result, community gardens are important elements of resilient, sustainable and ecologically balanced cities. Adopting the principles of resilient city, sustainable city and eco-city in the design and management of these gardens can help cities meet future challenges and improve their livability.
The Transition of English Literature from the Nineteenth Century to the Twentieth Century: A Case Study of Bernard Shaw & H. G. Wells
Authors: - AlHayyani, Muneera Muhanna
Published: May 2024

The sincerity of literature as an expression of life is normal, as long as it expresses the human soul which is affected by external life. This is something that humans cannot escape from or stand in isolation of, but the responses differ according to different human natures, and the way each person receives and interacts with influences, but they all in the end echo the external life. European life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was the scene of violent intellectual movements, all of which tended to solve the social problems that had worsened at that time in human history, owing to the reaction of industrial progress in economy and society. It was natural for literature to enter the battle and be one of its effective weapons because writers could not be isolated in their ivory towers, far from the conflicting classes and the rapidly transforming situations, as if they did so, their readers would abandon them, in search of those who would talk about their pain and share their problems.
Therefore, most of the literary productions of this time — all types of plays, novels, poetry, and essays — take social problems as their theme, and try in their own way to point out the means of treatment. Perhaps the most distinguished examples of this trend were Bernard Shaw, and H. G. Wells, whose production mainly depends on such topics. And if there are other writers and critics, we are just content with these two as they are sufficiently indicative in terms of providing an understanding of prospects and mechanism of the literature of that era.
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) with ST-Segment Elevation Revealing Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: - Z. BENNOUI
Published: May 2024

Cardiac Amyloidosis (CA) is an infiltrative cardiomyopathy characterized by the accumulation of fibrillar proteins in the myocardium. The deposition of these proteins disrupts the structure and function of the heart, leading to thickened walls, increased myocardial mass, diastolic dysfunction, and altered myocardial contraction, ultimately causing progressive heart failure. We report the case of a 65-year-old patient, S.L., admitted to our service with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) with a posterior extended ST-segment elevation, Killip class I, semi-recent. She is hypertensive and diabetic; she previously underwent surgery for chronic constrictive pericarditis, presumed to be of tuberculous origin, and was treated accordingly. The echocardiogram revealed a hypokinetic left ventricle (LV), predominantly affecting the inferior, inferoseptal, and apical walls. The left and right atria were not dilated, and both ventricles were of normal size. Coronary angiography showed no significant anomalies. Cardiac MRI supported a diagnosis of localized amyloidosis. Through this case, we explore the various clinical forms of CA, referencing existing literature.
Sociocultural Factors Influencing Marital Satisfaction in Modern India: A Large-Scale Survey Analysis
Authors: - Anup Yadav
Published: May 2024

This research paper investigates the sociocultural factors influencing marital satisfaction in modern India, focusing on how traditional and emerging sociocultural dynamics shape marital outcomes in the context of rapid societal changes. Utilizing a descriptive, cross-sectional survey design, the study collected data from 2,000 married individuals across various Indian states using structured questionnaires. The methodology included stratified random sampling and data analysis through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to assess the direct and indirect effects of sociocultural variables on marital satisfaction. Key findings indicate that egalitarian gender roles, economic stability, and effective communication significantly enhance marital satisfaction, while urbanization and traditional family structures have complex influences. The study underscores the buffering role of traditional family support against the stresses of modernization. The results highlight the importance of tailoring marital counseling and interventions to regional and cultural specifics, suggesting that policies aimed at enhancing marital satisfaction should consider the broader sociocultural context. These insights are crucial for stakeholders aiming to develop programs that foster healthier marital relationships in a culturally diverse society like India.

Published: May 2024

This study looks into the complex connection between resilience and thankfulness in young adults. Gratitude is a good feeling that is felt when one receives advantages from others. It has been studied extensively in psychology because it may play a role in promoting psychological well-being. Conversely, resilience is the capacity to overcome hardship and preserve mental well-being in the face of difficulties. Although these concepts have been connected to different facets of mental health on their own, there is still much to learn about how they interact and may have an impact on one another, especially in the setting of early adulthood. Findings from this study aim to contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying psychological resilience in young adults, shedding light on the potential role of gratitude as a protective factor against adversity

Authors: - Vishav Kumar Dhiman , - Sunaina Sharma
Published: May 2024

Background: This study aims to improve clinical research by identifying the barriers and facilitators for investigators conducting trials. We explore investigator demographics, challenges faced, and factors promoting engagement. Additionally, we examine how investigators’ background influences their experiences with both barriers and facilitators, ultimately aiming to foster a patient-centric clinical trial ecosystem.
Methods: A quantitative, exploratory study investigated barriers and facilitators in clinical trials among 132 investigators in India. A self-designed questionnaire captured experiences with challenges, strategies, and facilitators. Pilot testing ensured tool validity and reliability. Ethical considerations were addressed, and data analysis will identify key factors impacting investigator engagement. This study aims to improve the clinical research ecosystem in India.
Results: The study aims to identify the facilitators and barriers experienced by the research investigators. An online questionnaire survey was used in this cross-sectional investigation. The study's population consists of 132 respondents, with 68 (51.5%) males and 64 (48.5%) females. Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs) (41.7%), Research Associates (RA’s) (27.3%), Supporting staff (19.7%), Co-Investigators (Co-I) (6.8%), and Principal Investigators (PIs) (4.5%) which were the majority of respondents. The most common barriers found among the principal investigators regarding the limited resources (p=0.014) towards the clinical trials. Inadequate training (p=0.461), Complex regulations (p=0.625), and Communication barriers (p=0.853) did not seem like barriers to the clinical research staff. Whereas some of the staff faced barriers (p=0.118) with the complex regulations and Inadequate training on the other hand most of the respondents considered the same statements as facilitators (p=0.963) with their daily working activities.
Conclusion: The Barriers and Facilitators experienced by the clinical investigators, It was found that there is no difference in viewpoint. As per the results, Research associates agreed more with the facilitators and the principal investigators faced barriers.
