Sindh is in the lower reaches of the Indus River; it is most vulnerable to a variety of upstream water development challenges. The aim of this research was to determine aquifer characteristics in the command area of Tando Allahyar-II distributary within the culmination of underground water potential. The hydraulic properties of the aquifer as well as the susceptibility of the formation to tedious extraction and saltwater upcoming were recognized. Three pumping tests were performed at head, middle, and tail reaches along the selected distributary. The drawdowns were measured at head reach (5.1667 h), at middle reach (6.0 h), and at tail reach (19.667 h) of the selected distributary by performing the pumping tests. Groundwater levels were lower at the tail reach compared to those at the head and middle reaches, likely due to a higher concentration of tubewells in the lower reach. The head and middle reaches showed higher groundwater levels, possibly due to constant head conditions promoting infiltration and recharge. The pumping test versus drawdown analysis revealed that the tubewells should be run with 7-h (on) and 4-h (off) operation. Further, the tubewells at all reaches (head, middle, and tail) should be closed for a minimum of 4 h between operations. This strategy would allow safe groundwater extraction, maintain water quality, and prevent water table depletion in the study area. The hydrodynamic and hydro-salinity behaviors were scrutinized in PWMIN 5.3 (version) by means of the MODFLOW mode. The results were estimated to compare the calibration and validation simulation outcomes using measured data. The model was successfully calibrated, and the root mean square (RMS) value of the head tubewell varied between 0.024 and 0.108, whereas it speckled between 0.0166 and 0.0349 for the middle tubewell and between 0.0659 and 0.0069 for the tail tubewell. The RMS values for hydrodynamic behavior for the head, middle, and tail reaches were less than 10%. These values represent a suitable match between the observed and simulated heads when a water table depletion of 1 to 2 m was observed due to extreme pumping. However, the average relative error values, for all validated procedures, were less than 10%.

Authors: Besigye Innocent Kabahena , Mash Robert James
Published: November 2024

Background

To strengthen primary health care (PHC), there is a need to measure its performance.

Aim

To measure primary care performance in one rural Ugandan district.

Design and study setting

A cross-sectional survey of Tororo District administered the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCAT) across a sample of 51 facilities. There were four levels of health facilities (health centres II to general hospital).

Method

Random sample of 100 users was obtained from each level while including all primary care providers and managers. Data was collected in REDCap software, and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences vs23.

Results

Only 35.1% of users had a strong affiliation with their PHC facility. Overall primary care score suggested that performance was acceptable to the majority of users (58.9% rating performance at least acceptable). Ongoing care was rated by users as very poor (<25% of people rating it at least acceptable). Comprehensiveness (services available) was rated poor by users (<50% finding it at least acceptable). Users rated first contact access and coordination (information systems) acceptable (51-75% finding them at least acceptable). Person-centredness and comprehensiveness (services provided) were rated good by users (>75% rating them as acceptable or more). Providers and users differed significantly in their scoring across all domains, with providers usually more positive. Performance significantly improved as the PHC level increased.

Conclusion

Primary care performance in the study district was sub-optimal. The PCAT identified primary care functions that needed improving and may be a useful tool to measure PHC performance across the region.

“THE DEAD DO NOT DISTURB US FOR LONG”: LOVLAS’S TEAR IN “THE STONE GUEST” BY A.S. PUSHKIN
Authors: Romanova Alyona N.
Published: November 2024

In his work on the image of Don Juan, Pushkin comes into contact with the age-old tradition of artistic interpretation of the “eternal plot”. The sources that in one way or another influenced the poet’s idea are quite well studied, however, the origin of a number of images in Pushkin’s play, including the image of “poor Ineza”, remains not entirely clear. The article substantiates the hypothesis that one fragment of S. Richardson’s novel “Clarissa, or the Story of a Young Lady”, which has not yet attracted special attention of researchers, was directly related to the genesis of the image of the main character and was reflected in the first scene of the tragedy “The Stone Guest”.

Published: November 2024

Biomechanical conditions affect the stress-strain state of teeth, dentures, implants and surrounding tissues, however, some biomechanical processes in implants and covering prosthetic structures have not been sufficiently studied under different operating conditions.
The purpose of the study. А comparative analysis of the maximum stresses in titanium implants, abutments and covering ceramic crowns under different biomechanical operating conditions.
Material and methods. Three-dimensional mathematical modeling of the stress-strain state of the implant, abutment, crown was carried out using the SolidWork computer program in a model of an implant immersed in a segment of the mandible and covered with a ceramic crown. Load conditions: vertical or inclined 45° with a value of 150 N. Well-known indicators of the physical and mechanical properties of fabrics and structural materials were used. Adverse biomechanical conditions were simulated: a 30% reduction in the length, diameter, length and diameter of the implant; an abutment slope of 15° and 30°; bone resorption by 30% and 50%; increased load by 30%; occlusive supracontact; contact with bone tissue by 50% (immediate load).
Results and discussions. In comparison with optimal biomechanical conditions, the stresses in the implant and the covering crown increase under vertical and inclined loads only with an increase in load and the presence of occlusive supracontact. An increase in stresses only in the implant occurs with a decrease in the diameter of the implant, a combined decrease in the diameter and length of the implant, with an abutment tilt, resorption of periimplant bone tissue, incomplete contact of the implant with bone tissue under immediate load. Stress reduction in the implant and the covering crown occurs when the length of the implant decreases.
Conclusions. Unfavorable biomechanical conditions in most cases lead to an increase in stresses in the implant, especially with inclined loading; the decrease in stresses in the implant with a decrease in the length of the implant is most likely due to an increase in stresses in the surrounding bone tissue.

Authors: Luburić Goran , Grmuša Tanja , Vuković Dijana
Published: November 2024

Objective - Managing organizations is a complex set of activities requiring various skills and knowledge. Changes in the working environment conditioned by the development of new technologies accelerated digitization, focus on profit and sustainability, the need for continuous networking, and generational differences are just some of the factors that strongly influence the perception of work and responsibility towards oneself and others. Influenced the change of the managerial and communication paradigm in which control (of work, productivity, information) is no longer the only goal but the aspiration to guide the individual in achieving his own goals and finding a balance. Recently, more and more people are talking about the importance of possessing soft skills in managers, which are important for the working environment and organizational climate. People are the greatest asset of any organization, and their loyalty to the organization depends on their identification with the values and the role they play in the team. Communication about roles and expectations is an often neglected factor that strongly affects the quality of interpersonal relationships.
Methodology/Technique – Managers play a key role in managing human resources, training them in communication skills has never been more important. The aim of the paper is to examine the self-perception of soft skills in a convenient sample of Croatian managers to understand their awareness of the possibilities of influencing human resources management. A quantitative approach was used to investigate the self-perception of the competencies of Croatian managers through a survey of a purposive sample of 358 Croatian managers.
Finding – The survey included questions about one’s perception of one's own soft skills, including communication skills, emotional intelligence, teamwork, and the ability to resolve conflicts. The research results showed that Croatian managers highly value soft skills, especially in the areas of communication and teamwork. However, certain weaknesses, such as conflict resolution and emotional intelligence, were also identified.
Novelty – The research results indicate a positive correlation between leadership motivation and effective cooperation. Investing in the development of soft skills can significantly contribute to improving the efficiency and success of Croatian companies.

THE ORIGIN OF CONFUCIUS THOUGHT AND LU CULTURE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ZUO ZHUAN
Authors: Ling Wang
Published: November 2024

There are thirty-eight records about Confucius's words and deeds in Zuo Zhuan, from which we can clearly feel the promotion and sublimation of Confucius's thought to Lu's culture. As a native of the state of Lu in the spring and autumn period, Confucius's worship of rite, virtue, and elegant language is the inheritance and promotion of the traditional culture of Lu, while the factors of advocating benevolence and achievement are the sublimation and transcendence of the traditional culture of Lu. At the same time, Confucius's thought is also an important part of Lu culture and even Chinese culture, which has a profound impact on later generations.

Published: November 2024

Corporate social responsibility in sustainable growth is an active commitment and action made by enterprises to all stakeholders. After comparing the differences between the two kinds of corporate responsibility in multiple dimensions, the hypothesis of different trends is put forward. With the many problems faced by enterprises in the process of transformation and upgrading sustainable growth, the study takes green credit as an impact indicator to further study the relationship between corporate social responsibility and sustainable growth. This paper empirically studies the development characteristics of 658 A-share listed manufacturing companies during 2001–2022. This research offers that in the process of enterprise development, sustainable growth has affected the transformation of a large number of manufacturing enterprises, and with the passage of time, the social responsibility behavior of enterprises moves towards the medium level or above, while the environmental responsibility behavior of enterprises appears to have a to have a high or low level of differentiation. It is obvious that when corporate social responsibility is gradually promoted, it is conducive to the active implementation of sustainable growth in enterprises.

Published: November 2024

Proper, competent use of arable land, improvement of the structure of crops, is the most important condition for the growth of crop production. Our research was conducted on the basis of scientific principles and approaches set out in the methodological guidelines: "Agroecological assessment of lands, design of adaptive landscape systems of agriculture and agrotechnologies" (Moscow: RASKHN, 2005, ed. academicians RASKHN A. L. Ivanov and V. I. Kiryushin). To make more efficient use of arable land, increase the yield of major crops, meet the needs of farms with crop production, improve soil fertility, we have developed a structure of acreage taking into account specific agro–climatic conditions of the districts: Mozdok district, winter cereals in the structure of acreage should occupy 42%, corn for grain – 15%, legumes -7%, sunflower - 12%, feed – 16-17%. Kirovsky district, in the structure of sown areas, winter cereals should occupy 31%, corn for grain – 32%, legumes – 7%, fodder – 16-17%. Alagirsky district, 22% of arable land should be allocated for winter cereals in the structure of sown areas, 34% for corn for grain, 7% for technical and vegetables, and 37-40% for forage crops. Irafsky district, winter cereals in the structure of sown areas should occupy 22%, corn for grain – 30%, forage crops up to 45%. Digorsky district, in the structure of sown areas, winter cereals should occupy 28%, corn for grain – 30%, legumes – 7%, forage crops up to 30%. Pravoberezhny district, winter cereals – 26%, corn for grain – 30%, legumes – 7%, industrial crops and vegetables – 14%, fodder 23%. Prigorodny district, winter cereals should account for 32% of arable land, corn for grain – 27%, potatoes and vegetables – 19% and forage crops – 17%. Ardon district, winter cereals – 27%, corn for grain – 27%, legumes – 7%, potatoes and vegetables 11%, forage crops – 28%, which will increase the yield of feed units from 1 ha by 15-25 kg/ha.
CHALLENGE IN TREATING OPTIC NEURITIS IN PATIENT WITH CEREBRAL TOXOPLASMOSIS RELATED TO IMMUNOCOMPROMISED CONDITION
Authors: Latifah Latifah , Vierla Wino Vrieda
Published: November 2024

Introduction: This study aimed to discuss  the prognosis of optic neuritis in a patient with cerebral toxoplasmosis related to an immunocompromised condition. 
Case Report: A 28-year-old female complained of blurred vision and double vision 2 weeks before admission, accompanied by headache, low extremities weakness, dysphonia, and dysphagia. Visual acuity of both eyes was 6/30 and worsened to 6/60 in a couple of days. Anterior segment examination revealed anisocoria pupil, and RAPD was positive in the left eye. Funduscopic examination showed a blurry margin and hyperemia of the optic nerve head. There was impaired eye movement, indicating oculomotor and abducens nerve palsies. High titer of IgG Antibody Toxoplasma (264) and very low titer of CD4 (<50) with non-reactive HIV rapid test were found in laboratory findings. Multiple ring enhancement was shown in MRI finding. Unfortunately, patient passed away during hospitalization due to respiratory failure.
Discussion: Toxoplasmosis-associated optic neuritis is rare and usually becomes potentially serious. Although parasite detection by microscopy and bioassay is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis, clinical diagnosis relies more on serological examination methods. The high proportion of deaths from this disease is mostly caused by late diagnosis of the infection.
Conclusion: Optic neuritis that accompanied by systemic disorders needs special attention and comprehensive treatment among multidisciplinary divisions, especially in the immunocompromised condition. Early detection and primary prevention are important to improve prognosis and survival rate.

Authors: T Sabina , A. S Chaarumathi , S Iniyavan , S Rajamoorthy , D. G Abinish
Published: November 2024

Background: Ischemic heart disease is a critical global health issue characterized by inadequate blood
supply to the myocardium, leading to an imbalance between oxygen supply and demand. This study
aimed to analyze the prescription patterns of both cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular drugs among ischemic heart
disease patients at a government medical college hospital in Tamil Nadu, India. Methods and Materials: This observational
prospective study was conducted over six months, from April to September 2023, involving 100 patients aged 31 years and
above. Data were collected during ward rounds and regular follow-ups and were analysed using Microsoft Excel 2021. Results:
The study revealed that the majority of ischemic heart disease patients were aged 51 to 60 years and men had a higher
predominance rate than women. The most frequently prescribed drug classes were antiplatelet agents (17.26%),
antihypertensives (17%), antihyperlipidemic drugs (8.76%), anticoagulants (7.80%), and nitrates (7.18%). Additionally, noncardiovascular drugs were widely prescribed, with antacids (8.93%) and benzodiazepines (7.27%) being the most common.
The prescription patterns largely adhered to established management guidelines, with a focus on antiplatelets,
antihypertensives, and statins. The frequent use of non-cardiovascular drugs indicated the presence of comorbid conditions,
such as gastroesophageal reux disease and anxiety. Conclusion: This study highlights the prescription patterns for ischemic
heart disease and their adherence to standard management practices concluding that antiplatelets were the most commonly
prescribed drugs. It also emphasizes the need for future research with larger populations and an assessment of clinical
outcomes.
