Consumers rights and challenges of the socio-economically disadvantaged and the implications of the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008
Authors:   , Tentu Lindeka
Published: November 2023

South Africa is a country that is classified as having high levels of poverty and illiteracy. This is evident particularly in the consumer market, which consists of both the ordinary consumers, who are generally literate, and vulnerable consumers, who mostly have low levels of literacy or are illiterate and come from disadvantaged communities. Such vulnerable consumers face challenges when transacting with suppliers. The need to develop common law principles or any other consumer protection legislation, to protect, not only average consumers, but also vulnerable consumers, was of particular concern. Hence, the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) 68 of 2008 was promulgated, with the aims of promoting a fair, accessible and sustainable marketplace for consumer products and services and to establish national norms and standards relating to consumer protection. However, experience has shown that, since its implementation some of the promises in the Act have not become a reality for many consumers, especially those who face socio-economic disadvantages. Such consumers include those with low income, low levels of education, and those who are illiterate. This study aims to investigate the consumer challenges and rights of the socioeconomically disadvantaged persons as vulnerable consumers, as well as the role of the CPA in protecting them and addressing such consumer challenges. A quantitative research design was adopted together with probability sampling. A questionnaire was the primary tool used to gather data from consumers that reside at Bhekulwandle, a township in the Illovo area, in KwaZulu Natal province. The findings from the study revealed that, even though consumers are afforded legislative protection in the consumer market, the effectiveness of such legislation has some gaps when viewed from the vulnerable consumer perspective. Consumers facing socio-economic disadvantage are still faced with challenges when it comes to understanding commercial contracts, primarily due to the language used in standard form contracts and their ignorance as to the processes to follow when their rights have been infringed, and their rights as consumers. The government, suppliers and consumer bodies have an onerous responsibility in ensuring that all consumers, especially those from a disadvantaged background, are equally protected in the consumer market. This can be achieved by ensuring that existing legislation is enforced and business should be compelled to comply and give particular recognition to the vulnerable consumers.
The effect of solid waste accumulation on tourism business in the central business district (CBD) of Pietermaritzburg
Authors:   , Nzimande Sindisiwe Benedita
Published: November 2023

The tourism business is susceptible to its environment, and Pietermaritzburg has been affected by high solid waste accumulated on the streets of the city which subsequently influences the tourism business. Research shows that solid waste mismanagement in the city is the result of maladministration, improper expenditure, and overall lack of accountability from government departments. This study aims to investigate how this issue has affected the tourism business in Pietermaritzburg. Based on the review of literature and theoretical frameworks, a qualitative research design was adopted to answer research questions. Individual interviews were conducted from purposively selected sample in the study area. The researcher interviewed both managerial and non-managerial employees from the selected sample of tourism businesses. This study used systematic theme analysis, by analysing content presented in the data from interviews. Analysis of results demonstrated that waste mismanagement affected the tourism business in a sense that visitors are not frequenting the attractions because they have safety concerns, and poor hygiene in the city could pose threat to their health and wellbeing. The study found that negative customer positioning, lack of service delivery and poor infrastructure were some of the biggest challenges for the tourism business in the city. Tourism cannot be developed as a lone industry; it needs collaborative efforts from all stakeholders especially government to provide essential services for tourism to thrive. The study recommends a model that could be used by the tourism business and government for improved service delivery. It also recommends that tourism areas should be treated differently than domestic areas when it comes to waste collection schedule development, and waste prevention where practical. This would prevent the amount of waste accumulated on the streets of PMB and the amount of waste that goes into landfilling.

Authors: Souza Laiane Silva , Guedes Gabriella de Souza , Ferreira Tairo Vieira
Published: November 2023

Este trabalho é uma revisão bibliográfica e aborda a relação entre o diabetes – doença crônica causada por defeitos na ação da insulina – e o uso de plantas medicinais. Destaca-se que a insulina é essencial para permitir a absorção de glicose no corpo e a falta dela resulta em hiperglicemia. As diferentes formas do diabetes são relacionadas à deficiência na secreção de insulina ou à resistência a ela. Nesse cenário, tem-se o uso de plantas medicinais para o tratamento do diabetes. Essas plantas podem estimular a absorção de glicose, promovendo a secreção de insulina e outros processos benéficos para pacientes diabéticos. No entanto, é preciso salientar que a utilização inadequada de plantas medicinais pode ser prejudicial, pois algumas delas são tóxicas e podem ser causadoras de riscos.

O "In Dubio Pro Societate" é um princípio jurídico que implica que, em caso de dúvida, deve-se decidir em favor da sociedade, ou seja, em prol da acusação criminal. Este princípio tem sido historicamente utilizado para garantir a persecução penal e evitar a impunidade. "In Dubio Pro Societate" os autores argumentam que é necessário encontrar um equilíbrio entre a proteção da sociedade e a garantia dos direitos do acusado, especialmente nas fases iniciais do processo criminal.
VACINAÇÃO INFANTIL - IMPLICAÇÕES DA QUEDA NA COBERTURA VACINAL INFANTIL EM NOVA IGUAÇU
Authors: Gomes Cristiano Fernandes , Andrade Leonardo Guimarães de , Silva Michel Santos da
Published: November 2023

A vacinação é a estratégia mais efetiva de se evitar uma doença transmissível, contudo tem-se constatado diminuição das coberturas de diversas vacinas, por razões como hesitação vacinal, esquecimento, notícias falsas sobre vacinas, entre outros. A imunização é um direito humano e elemento chave dos cuidados primários de saúde, porém, apesar do sucesso das imunizações ao longo dos anos, dados recentes demonstram redução da procura por vacinas, principalmente nos imunizantes preconizados durante a infância. Avaliando-se os diferentes autores, pode-se concluir que a redução da cobertura vacinal é problemática para a saúde coletiva, causando avanço de doenças já equacionadas e o ressurgimento de doenças erradicadas, provocando danos ou morte, especialmente em crianças. Portanto, torna-se primordial por parte dos diferentes agentes de saúde, governos, trabalhadores da saúde, controle social, entidades educacionais, uma união de forças para empoderar a população, e  auxiliar na desconstrução dos mitos relacionados à vacinação.

Authors: Silva Patrícia Moreira da , Abreu Sérgio Marcos de Brito
Published: November 2023

O ordenamento jurídico nacional, através da Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho, já prevê uma série de modalidades de labor e as garantias decorrentes das formas de contratação em questão. No entanto, o mais comum era a celebração de vínculos de emprego na forma tradicional, caracterizado pelo comparecimento do trabalhador à sede do seu empregador, a ele subordinado durante a jornada laboral pactuada. No entanto, a Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho dedica alguns dispositivos para a regulação do teletrabalho, modalidade em que o trabalhador realiza a suas atividades através do uso de tecnologias de informação e conexão, não necessitando comparecer diariamente à sede da empresa. O presente artigo vem apresentar conceitos, definições, impactos e adaptações do teletrabalho no Brasil, trazendo destaque a sua extrema importância no período da pandemia mundial da Covid-19, focando nos principais pontos e na relação entre empresa e colaborador, apontando também eventuais vantagens e desvantagens. Não é de hoje que existe essa modalidade de trabalho, porém com a chegada da pandemia, várias atividades foram interrompidas, tendo sido adotadas diversas medidas de prevenção, dentre elas, o trabalho remoto, tornando-se algo comum, um requisito necessário para sobrevivência neste período, com regulamentação alterada por nova lei.
O USO DE FITOTERÁPICOS EM PACIENTES COM DEPRESSÃO
Authors: Carvalho Simone Ribeiro de , Baiense Alex Sandro Rodrigues
Published: November 2023

Desde o início dos tempos, os humanos têm utilizado plantas para determinados fins terapêuticos. As plantas medicinais são usadas para tratar e curar uma variedade de doenças, incluindo transtornos mentais como depressão e ansiedade. A depressão se tornou um dos principais problemas da atualidade. Os medicamentos fitoterápicos e seus derivados constituem um dos principais recursos terapêuticos da medicina tradicional e têm sido utilizados na assistência à saúde pelo povo brasileiro há muitos anos. Seja pelo baixo custo das plantas fitoterápicas ou pela eficácia observada ao empregar plantas medicinais como recursos terapêuticos. Muitas dessas plantas possuem usos populares, ou seja, seus usos foram adotados pela cultura popular, o que as favorece em detrimento dos ensaios clínicos, que dão suporte às indicações de uso, eficácia e informações de segurança dos fitoterápicos. Como resultado, o tratamento pode ser eficaz no controle da depressão leve a moderada e na redução de sintomas como ansiedade, insônia e estresse. Deve-se enfatizar que embora a incidência de reações adversas com medicamentos fitoterápicos seja menor do que a dos antidepressivos tradicionais, algumas pessoas ainda podem apresentar reações adversas durante o uso e necessitar de supervisão médica.

Abstract. During the last decades, the coastal areas of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf, have been subjected to intense economic and industrial growth. As a result, it may be expected that the overall environmental status of Saudi Arabian coastal marine waters has been affected by human activities. As a consequence, adequate management of the Saudi Arabian coastal zone requires an assessment of how the various pressures within this zone impact the quality of seawater and sediments. To this end, environmental surveys were conducted over fifteen hotspot areas (areas subject to environmental pressures) in the Saudi Arabian coastal zone of the Red Sea and over three hotspot areas in the Saudi Arabian waters of the Arabian Gulf. The survey in the Red Sea, conducted in June/July 2021, acquired measurements from hotspot areas spanning most of the Saudi coastline, extending from near the Saudi–Jordanian border in the north to Al Shuqaiq and Jizan Economic City (close to the Saudi–Yemen border) in the south. The survey in the Arabian Gulf, carried out in September 2021, included the areas of Al Khobar, Dammam, and Ras Al Khair. The main objective of both cruises was to record the physical and biogeochemical parameters along the coastal waters of the Kingdom, tracing the dispersion of contaminants related to specific pressures. Taken together, these cruises constitute the first multidisciplinary and geographically comprehensive study of contaminants within the Saudi Arabian coastal waters and sediments. The measurements acquired revealed the influence of various anthropogenic pressures on the coastal marine environment of Saudi Arabia and also highlighted a strong influence of hydrographic conditions on the distribution of biochemical properties in the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Aviation aims to reduce its climate effect by exploiting the potential of identifying alternative climate optimized aircraft trajectories. Such climate-optimized trajectories require a dedicated meteorological service in order to inform on those regions of the atmosphere where aviation emissions have a large effect on climate, for example, by contrail formation or nitrogen-oxide (NOx)-induced ozone formation. With the algorithmic Climate Change Functions (aCCFs) prototypes of a mathematical formulation for the temporal and spatial climate effects of aviation emissions in the atmosphere is provided, which relies solely on numerical weather prediction at the time and location of emissions. Based on the recently published consistent set of aCCF-V1.0, we here introduce newly derived calibration factors for the individual non-CO2 effects of aviation (NOx, water vapour, contrail cirrus) and establish version V1.0A of aCCFs (aCCF-V1.0A). ACCF-V1.0A represents an updated formulation of aCCF while exploring the current level of scientific understanding of individual climate effects of aviation emissions by evaluating quantitative estimates of climate effects with the state-of-the-art climate-response model AirClim. Individual scaling factors (i.e. AirClim calibration factors) are provided for the respective non-CO2 effects comprising contrail cirrus, water vapour and NOx-induced climate effects on ozone and methane, resulting uniformly in lower estimates in aCCF-V1.0A for all species compared to the earlier version aCCF-V1.0.
Evaluation of wind farm parameterizations in the WRF model under different atmospheric stability conditions with high-resolution wake simulations
Authors: García-Santiago Oscar , Hahmann Andrea N. , Badger Jake , Peña Alfredo
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Wind farm parameterizations (WFPs) are used in mesoscale models for predicting wind farm power production and its impact on wind resources while considering the variability of the regional wind climate. However, the performance of WFPs is influenced by various factors including atmospheric stability. In this study, we compared two widely used WFPs in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbine wakes performed with the same model. The Fitch scheme and the Explicit Wake Parameterization were evaluated for their ability to represent wind speed and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in a two-turbine wind farm layout under neutral, unstable, and stable atmospheric stability conditions. To ensure a fair comparison, the inflow conditions were kept as close as possible between the LES and mesoscale simulations for each type of stability condition, and the LES results were spatially aggregated to align with the mesoscale grid spacing. Our findings indicate that the performance of WFPs varies depending on the specific variable (wind speed or TKE) and the area of interest downwind of the turbine when compared to the LES reference. The WFPs can accurately depict the vertical profiles of the wind speed deficit for either the grid cell containing the wind turbines or the grid cells in the far wake, but not both simultaneously. The WFPs with an explicit source of TKE overestimate TKE values at the first grid cell containing the wind turbine; however, for downwind grid cells, agreement improves. On the other hand, WFPs without a TKE source underestimate TKE in all downwind grid cells. These agreement patterns between the WFPs and the LES reference are consistent under the three atmospheric stability conditions. However, the WFPs resemble less the wind speed and TKE from the LES reference under stable conditions than under neutral or unstable conditions.

Em 2004, foi criado o Programa Brasil Sorridente, que se tornou o maior programa de saúde bucal pública do mundo. Esse programa visa garantir as ações de promoção, prevenção, recuperação e manutenção da saúde bucal dos brasileiros. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o quanto se é divulgado para os usuários do SUS sobre o Programa Brasil Sorridente, sendo eles o alvo principal, e investigar também se houve melhora no atendimento, fluxo de encaminhamentos e tratamentos finalizados na visão da população. O estudo foi efetuado através de um questionário online. Que foi disponibilizado para os usuários do SUS no Google Forms*, onde o link para o questionário foi enviado. Os participantes da pesquisa tiveram acesso na tela inicial ao Termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido para concordar com sua participação e estarem cientes que os dados seriam coletados e utilizados para fins de pesquisa acadêmica. Após esse passo, os usuários foram direcionados para o questionário de 7 perguntas de múltipla escolha.  Após a aplicação do questionário, os dados foram tabulados e avaliados o principal meio de divulgação, o quanto o atendimento odontológico atinge nossa população, o fluxo de encaminhamentos, e a quantidade de tratamentos finalizados. Os resultados mostraram que nem todos os usuários tem conhecimento e/ou acesso a odontologia, mesmo utilizando outros serviços, e que a grande maioria mesmo conhecendo o programa não tiveram seus tratamentos finalizados e não tiveram suas necessidades de especialidades atendidas mostrando assim a necessidade de reformular alguns conceitos para atendimento da demanda.
Explorando potencialidades y desafíos de la gestión horizontal: Un estudio mixto de dos cooperativas de trabajo de software en Argentina
Authors: Estragó Alfonso
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo se enfoca en el análisis de una de las dimensiones menos examinadas del cooperativismo de trabajo: la gestión. Específicamente se propone, sobre la base de un estudio de campo de naturaleza mixta con triangulación cualitativa-cuantitativa, aportar nuevos y más profundos elementos de análisis para dilucidar las potencialidades de modelos de gestión más “horizontales”. A partir de entrevistas y encuestas realizadas en dos cooperativas argentinas de trabajo, dedicadas a la producción de software, se confirma el funcionamiento sustentable de un conjunto de prácticas que se apartan del esquema piramidal, en favor de dinámicas democráticas y participativas en todos los niveles decisorios. Esto podría indicar el camino hacia un enfoque de gestión que -a diferencia del típico ordenamiento burocrático weberiano- presente una esencia identitaria plenamente cooperativa, manteniendo la búsqueda de altos estándares de eficacia y eficiencia en lo económico. No obstante, los resultados para uno de los casos analizados indican que dicho camino no sería lineal ni exento de desafíos: señalan un llamado de atención sobre los riesgos del surgimiento de jerarquías informales no deseadas por el colectivo de asociados/as, que de no abordarse podrían amenazar la armonía necesaria para la consolidación de una gestión plenamente horizontal.
Vi speler inga covers vi e'! Spelmanslaget som läroplats och dess ideologier
Authors: von Wachenfeldt Thomas
Published: November 2023

The overall aim of this study is to describe the social structure within Nordanstigs spelmanslag and further how the manifest and latent ideologies connected to the Swedish fiddler movement affects the learning and musical processes in Nordanstigs spelmanslag. The theoretical basis for the study was Bourdieu's field theory, Berger & Luckmanns theory of institutionalisation, Lave & Wengers theories about Communities of practice and Liedman's concept of Manifest and Latent ideologies. The method consisted of both semi-structured interviews of three members in the spelmanslag and also Participatory observation with an auto-ethnographical approach on four occasions. The analysis was done using transcriptions and a self-invented color coding process of categorization. In the results it appears that a significant part of the latent ideology from the Swedish fiddler movement is manifested in the activity of the spelmanslag. Other findings are that the spelmanslag as an institution maintains a strong doxa that derives from its foundation which seems to have a fairly strong influence on its members concerning views on authenticity, repertoire and interpretation. The doxa is mainly upheld and reproduced by individuals that inherits a strong symbolic capital.

Published: November 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar a Habitação de Interesse Social (HIS) no município de Trindade, dando ênfase nos empreendimentos viabilizados com recursos do programa popular de moradia Minha Casa Minha Vida (faixa 1), considerando a possibilidade de verificação de estudos de viabilidade urbana para implantação de HIS. Serão analisados especificamente três empreendimentos. Para isso, a metodologia apoia-se em uma revisão bibliográfica do tema e na comparação entre os critérios de implantação estabelecidos na legislação e os critérios de implantação utilizados na prática. Dessa forma, observa-se que nenhum dos três empreendimentos foi construído em localidades dotadas de completa infraestrutura urbana pré-existente adequada à nova demanda, permitindo concluir que mesmo quando se verificou que não havia essa viabilidade de infraestrutura, os empreendimentos foram implantados por meio de soluções alternativas, impactando nos custos e exigindo recursos do orçamento que poderiam ser destinados para a produção de mais unidades habitacionais, ampliando o objetivo da HIS.

Structure Preserving Numerical Methods for Magnetic Fusion
Authors: Sonnendruecker Eric
Published: November 2023

Many plasma physics models have been proved to possess a non-canonical hamiltonian structure. Invariants like the hamiltonian or Casimir invariants like div B = 0 follow immediately from this structure. Hence discretizing the infinite dimensional hamiltonian structure so that we obtain a finite dimensional hamiltonian structure provides a natural way to conserve discrete invariants. After a short review of geometric discretization for kinetic and hybrid fluid-kinetic models, we will focus on structure preserving discretization of compressible ideal MHD. In order to robustly handle shocks and also keep the symmetries inherent to the MHD model, we will introduce a semi-implicit hybrid model coupling Finite Element Exterior Calculus and Finite Volume schemes. A splitting approach is designed so that we may take advantage of the conservation properties and robustness of the Finite Volume schemes for the non-linear advection, while relying on a structure-preserving discretization of the magneto-acoustic terms based on Finite Element Exterior calculus. Moreover, the nonlinear convective terms are treated via an explicit time-discretization, while the magnetic and acoustic terms are solved via an implicit time-discretization. Thanks to this, the resulting CFL condition will depend, at least formally, only on the fluid velocity and not on the Alfvén or sound speeds that may become too stringent in the low Mach regimes. In this approach, the divergence free constraint of the magnetic field is always preserved up to machine precision, and the symmetry of the physical model is also reflected to the symmetry of the final algebraic nonlinear systems that are solved in an implicit step. Thanks to the symmetry of the systems, the very efficient matrix-free conjugate gradient method may be employed.
Introducing Transformative Plant Biotechnology: Itinerant plant immune receptors for food security; one of many reasons to free up use of the GM method for crop improvement
Authors: Jones Jonathan
Published: November 2023

Plant immunity to disease depends on detection of pathogen-derived molecules by either cell surface or intracellular immune receptors. Plant breeders have long exploited resistance gene-encoded immune receptors but introgression from wild relatives is usually hampered by linkage to deleterious alleles. Identification of immune receptor genes and introduction via the GM method avoids linkage drag and enables construction of more durable stacks of distinct immune receptors with benefits both for resistance strength and genetic durability. Furthermore, useful immune receptor genes from sexually incompatible species can be moved into a crop. I will highlight the benefits of this approach for potato improvement, and comment on a soon-to-be published Royal Society briefing document that calls for proportionate regulation of the GM method for crop improvement.

Scientific work is one of the important elements for higher education in maintaining its reputation and increasing the achievements. It is very important to produce good and quality scientific work. One of the indicators is freedom from plagiarism. This can be achieved by providing knowledge to students in quoting and managing student scientific references. One application to facilitate the management of scientific references is Mendeley. The purpose of holding community service is to increase student digital literacy regarding reference management and to help them implement it in making their student theses, which they will need to complete their final assignments. The training was held at the Merah Putih Building, University of Palangka Raya, with the target participants being undergraduate students of the Economics Education Study Program, Faculty of Teaching and Education, University of Palangka Raya. The results of the participants' activities were full of enthusiasm and high motivation to take part in scientific reference management workshops with Mendeley for the completion of their college assignments and theses.

Aim. Improving the immediate results of the treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis.

Material and methods. We studied the results of diagnosis and treatment of 126 patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. In our observation, the main causes of acute pancreatitis in 92 (73.0%) patients were cholelithiasis (biliary genesis), in 25 (19.8%) patients, acute pancreatitis (AP) had an alcoholic genesis, in 4 (3.2%) cases, pancreatitis occurred as a result of duodenal ulcer penetration into the head of the gland, and in 5 (4.0%) cases, АР had a traumatic genesis.Results. In 38 observed patients, extracorporeal detoxification methods were used in complex treatment, in addition, hemofiltration was used in 17.0% of cases, plasmapheresis was performed in 71.0% of patients, and peritoneal dialysis was performed in combination with plasmapheresis in 12.0% of cases. Minimally invasive methods of treatment were performed in 27 (21.4%) patients with acute pancreatitis.

In 17 patients, we performed percutaneous drainage interventions with ultrasound navigation. Surgical interventions were performed in 36 (28.6%) patients with acute pancreatitis. Of these, 9 (7.1%) patients were operated on within 5 days, 21 (16.7%) patients were operated on within 14 days, the remaining 6 (4.8%) patients were operated on within 24 to 14

days. 30 days.

Against the background of the use of a complex differentiated individual approach in the patients we observed with destructive forms of AP, the incidence of fatal cases was 9.5% (n=12), which were due to the development of progressive multiple organ failure.

Conclusion. The main tasks in the treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis should be the urgent elimination of etiopathogenetic factors in the development of this pathology, the timely appointment of intensive therapy with the implementation of minimally invasive surgical interventions.

Objective. Describe the system of epidemiological surveillance of COVID-19 and evaluate its effectiveness by qualitative and quantitative characteristics to provide recommendations.

Material and methods. To evaluate the surveillance system, “Updated Recommendations for evaluating Public Health Surveillance Systems: Recommendations of the updated guidelines of the US Centers for Disease Control 2001” were used. 8 public and 6 private providers of medical services were involved in the surveillance system of the city of Khujand. From August 21 to March 27, a review of incoming quantitative data, an electronic list of patients and a review of paper forms of reports related to COVID-19 in 7 state institutions was conducted. We also conducted personal interviews using standardized questionnaires with 15 medical workers from 5 state institutions.

Results. It was found that the surveillance system in the Republic of Tajikistan is flexible. It quickly adapted to the conditions of the pandemic. From August 21 to March 27, only for 19 of the 36 observed weeks (53%), all 7 objects provided report on time. Overall, weekly timely reporting was 92% (range 71-100% for 36 weeks). 706 cases were registered, 662 correctly met the definition, which led to a specificity of 94% (662/706). 46 more cases were not reported, which led to sensitivity of 88% (662/(662+46)).

Conclusion. In general, the system of epidemiological surveillance for COVID-19 fulfills its goals and objectives. It is possible to improve the system: by creating a common database and uniform forms of accounting and reporting on COVID-19; provide employees with a computer and Internet access; hold seminars on the current laws of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Tajikistan.

Objective. Development of recommendations for improving the system of epidemiological surveillance of drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Material and methods. The surveillance system for drug-resistant tuberculosis in Dushanbe and the Rudaki district was evaluated, following the guidelines provided by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Results. The tuberculosis (TB) surveillance framework is multifaceted with multiple reporting tiers. The reporting forms provided by the government do not provide information on the indicators needed to track the spread of multidrug-resistant TB. An evaluation of timeliness revealed that appropriate treatment commenced promptly in 52% of cases (42 out of 80): 54% (29 out of 54 cases) in Dushanbe and 50% (13 out of 26) in the Rudaki district. Delays were associated with multiple drug resistance in comparison to other types of drug resistance (OR-4.3; 95% CI 1.7-11.1), outpatient in contrast to inpatient treatment (OR-5.3; 95% CI 1.1-27.0).

Conclusion. The epidemiological surveillance system for TB with drug-resistant strains in both regions achieves its intended goals and objectives. However, the system’s flexibility, timeliness, and acceptability require further refinement.

Ensuring the sustainable development of the state and increasing the real sector of the economy competitiveness through innovation is possible due to the effective interaction of state bodies, scientific and industrial organizations. At this stage of the innovative development of the industry of the Republic of Belarus, low- and medium-technological technologies are mainly used, which does not allow to fully realize the existing opportunities (a high level of human resources, a convenient geographical location, a developed industrial complex, a functioning national innovation system and an extensive network of scientific organizations) and thereby ensure high added value of products. The formation and development of the scientific and industrial complex will allow solving a complex of problems caused by the disintegration of industrial and scientific organizations (technological gap, difficulties of commercialization, reduction in the efficiency of production preparation).
