Published: April 2022

Abstract: A massive variety of plastic wastes were amassed from several places which includes tourist and public places and so forth., plastic baggage are collected, cleaned, and used as a substitute for cement within the production of paver blocks. Plastic waste is available in large amount and therefore the value thing comes down. Whilst we having waste plastic then we are able to use as reuse, recycle and reduce. understand of what you do, pay attention to the items you purchase, and always check your self to peer in case you want it or if it comes in a package deal with much less waste. Plastic is a non- biodegradable cloth. The amount of plastic waste in municipal solid waste is increasing rapidly daily. Plastic is crafted from hydrocarbons determined in different sources like oil, coal and a few other minerals. on the time of want, plastic is observed to be very useful but after its use, it's far in reality thrown away, growing all sorts of risks. Plastic is of the numerous different sorts which includes high density poly-ethylene (hdpe), low density polyethylene (ldpe), hd, and so on. as a result, these waste plastics is to be correctly utilised in making paver blocks. Plastic are easy and delivered with the sand and aggregate at diverse percentage to gain excessive energy paver to address pollutants and to reduce the overall fee of construction.

Computationally Efficient Quantum Expectation with Extended Bell Measurements
Authors: Kondo Ruho , Sato Yuki , Koide Satoshi , Kajita Seiji , Takamatsu Hideki
Published: April 2022

Evaluating an expectation value of an arbitrary observable A∈C2n×2n through naïve Pauli measurements requires a large number of terms to be evaluated. We approach this issue using a method based on Bell measurement, which we refer to as the extended Bell measurement method. This analytical method quickly assembles the 4n matrix elements into at most 2n+1 groups for simultaneous measurements in O(nd) time, where d is the number of non-zero elements of A. The number of groups is particularly small when A is a band matrix. When the bandwidth of A is k=O(nc), the number of groups for simultaneous measurement reduces to O(nc+1). In addition, when non-zero elements densely fill the band, the variance is O((nc+1/2n)tr(A2)), which is small compared with the variances of existing methods. The proposed method requires a few additional gates for each measurement, namely one Hadamard gate, one phase gate and at most n−1 CNOT gates. Experimental results on an IBM-Q system show the computational efficiency and scalability of the proposed scheme, compared with existing state-of-the-art approaches.

Published: April 2022

The Corona virus, which began to emerge at the end of 2019 in China, has so far spread widely throughout the world including Indonesia, where this greatly affects various aspects of human life. Many MSME businesses must close because of the current economic situation. Therefore, MSME owners during the COVID-19 pandemic must start rethinking their business strategy. Because only with innovation, micro, small and medium business owners will be able to survive and continue to be sustainable. One of the innovations is to use technology, namely cloud kitchens that are attached to the use of online applications. During the COVID-19 epidemic, this study looks at the possibility of MSME business owners to adopt Cloud-based technology platforms as their new business model. The data for this study were obtained from 100 MSME owners engaged in the food and beverage sector using quantitative techniques. Data processing using SPSS 22.0 program and path analysis. The research findings reveal that there is a relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived benefits that affect the intention to use/adopt cloud kitchens as their new business model. This study contributes to the intention to adopt small businesses towards technology, namely cloud kitchens for MSME owners. Practical implications for other stakeholders are also presented in this study
The Metaphor “Golden Bag” in “A Writer’s Diary” by F. M. Dostoevsky
Authors: Smyslova Olga N.
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the peculiarity of artistic expression of the theme of money in “A Writer’s Diary” by F. M. Dostoevsky. The article indicates that Dostoevsky’s journalistic style is characterized by the use of metaphor as an artistic term that can accurately designate the phenomena of current reality and give them a social, cultural or philosophical interpretation. Such metaphorical concepts (“soil,” “earth,” “roots,” “golden age,” “golden bag,” etc.) in the writer’s journalism usually grow out of stable ideologemes, idioms or mythologemes universal for Russian culture, but acquire new meanings. The author of the article determines that the metaphor “golden bag” is used in those essays of “A Writer’s Diary” which discuss the problem of the cult of material goods, which penetrated all strata of Russian society of the 1870s. Dostoevsky, appealing to the well-known idiom “golden bag,” starts from its fixed definition of a “very rich man,” creates a metaphorical image of money, profit and greed, gaining power over modern man, then synonymously brings us closer to the idiom of the “golden calf,” which is not represented in “A Writer’s Diary.”
Remuer les cendres

Le projet s’intitule Remuer les cendres et je propose une réflexion sur les corps non réclamés des personnes décédées à Montréal. Dans mes recherches, je m’intéresse aux histoires individuelles et collectives que j'aborde à travers la photographie et le témoignage. Plus précisément, je suis préoccupé par le thème de la mort. C'est-à-dire que je la trouve mystérieuse, silencieuse et elle vient bousculer nos vies sans avertir dans nos familles. Elle vient chambarder nos émotions et nos angoisses. Elle se déplace pour nous renseigner que l'éternité n'existe pas, et elle nous invite à vivre le néant, qui nous attend, une fois que la mort se présente.

Published: April 2022

Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect
and accounts for about 5% of all congenital cardiopathies. The
definitive treatment modality for tetralogy of Fallot is reparative
surgery, which is recommended to be performed by the time of diagnosis.
Without surgical repair, most patients would die during their childhood.
In the past, survival data indicated that 66% of persons with tetralogy
of Fallot not surgically treated lived until the age of 1, 49% lived
until the age of 3, and 24% lived until the age of 10. We present a
patient with uncorrected tetralogy of Fallot who lived up to 72 years of
age. The patient with a history of 4 live births presented to the
emergency department with dyspnea, and in our echocardiography, we found
that the patient with uncorrected tetralogy of Fallot had pericardial
tamponade. When we review the current literature, she is the oldest
uncorrected patient with tetralogy of Fallot in our country and the
female patient with the highest number of live births among patients
with uncorrected Tetralogy of Fallot in the world.

Case Report: Filamin A deficiency lung disease recognized in an eleven-year-old child
Authors: West Tahira , Williamson Nikita , Akhter Javeed
Published: April 2022

The loss of function of the FLNA gene may result in impairment of the
filamin A protein. Of the many clinical syndromes, this condition may
produce lung disease. This usually presents itself and is diagnosed in
the infant/toddler age group that may mimic broncho-pulmonary-dysplasia.
It is part of the entities included in Childhood Interstitial Lung
Disease (chILD) group of disorders. We are reporting on a patient that
was diagnosed at eleven years of age. This case provides a unique
insight into the long-term course of lung disease in this illness and
broadens our understanding of the spectrum of its presentation. Although
the patient had symptoms very early in life, the diagnosis may not have
been entertained because of the rarity of the disorder, its atypical
presentation, and discontinuous care due to parents moving to different
cities for reasons of employment. Her initial presentation to our
institution was for pneumonia. Due to the highly unusual chest x-ray
images, asthenia, and early clubbing, an extensive work up was
undertaken that included further imaging and a lung biopsy. The final
diagnosis was confirmed by the detection of FLNA LOF gene mutation.
Identification of novel arsenic resistance genes in yeast

Published: April 2022

Arsenic is a toxic metalloid that affects human health by causing
numerous diseases and by being used in the treatment of acute
promyelocytic leukemia. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast) has
been extensively utilized to elucidate the molecular mechanisms
underlying arsenic toxicity and resistance in eukaryotes. In this study,
we applied a genomic DNA overexpression strategy to identify yeast genes
that provide arsenic resistance in wild-type and arsenic-sensitive S.
cerevisiae cells. In addition to known arsenic-related genes, our
genetic screen revealed novel genes, including PHO86, VBA3, UGP1, and
TUL1, whose overexpression conferred resistance. To gain insights into
possible resistance mechanisms, we addressed the contribution of these
genes to cell growth, intracellular arsenic, and protein aggregation
during arsenate exposure. Overexpression of PHO86 resulted in higher
cellular arsenic levels but no additional effect on protein aggregation,
indicating that these cells efficiently protect their intracellular
environment. VBA3 overexpression caused resistance despite higher
intracellular arsenic and protein aggregation levels. Overexpression of
UGP1 led to lower intracellular arsenic and protein aggregation levels
whilst TUL1 overexpression had no impact on intracellular arsenic or
protein aggregation levels. Thus, the identified genes appear to confer
arsenic resistance through distinct mechanisms but the molecular details
remain to be elucidated.
Improvement on the distribution uniformity of hydrodynamics in a stirred tank with a novel H-like fractal impeller
Authors: You Pan , Wu Xiankun , Wu Yongjun , Li Hui , Luo Peicheng
Published: April 2022

Fractal theory provides a new strategy for the equipment design and
industrial amplification. In this work we propose a novel H-like fractal
(HLF) impeller to improve the distribution uniformity of hydrodynamics
in stirred tanks. The impeller with two vertical blades becomes fractal
impellers by designing each vertical blade as an H-shaped sub-blade
(HLF-1) or uniform arrangement of H-shaped sub-blades (HLF-2). Flow
characteristics including velocity and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE)
distributions, vortices, power number, are predicted by large eddy
simulation. Compared with Rushton turbine (RT) impeller when
H/T=1 (or dual RTs when H/T=1.5, triple RTs
when H/T=2), the HLF impeller can produce a flow field
with more uniform distributions of larger velocities and TKE level. The
HLF-2 impeller can further improve distribution uniformity of
hydrodynamics in the case of high H/T. Power analysis
shows that this is mainly due to the improved energy utilization
efficiency by the fractal structure design.
Manure in Serbia - quantities and greenhouse gas emissions
Authors: Viskovic Miodrag , Djatkov Djordje , Nesterovic Aleksandar , Martinov Milan , Cvetkovic Slobodan
Published: April 2022

Manure is a by-product at agricultural farms that can consist of excrement,
bedding, food, and other substances. Manure is a significant form of organic
fertilizer, but it negatively impacts the environment. The objectives of
this study are to determine the quantities of manure and classify them
depending on the size and type of farms in Serbia and to quantify greenhouse
gas emissions in Serbia from manure management. About 8.6 million m3 of
fresh liquid manure and about 20.4 million tons of fresh solid manure are
generated in Serbia. The dominant types of manures are liquid pig manure and
cattle solid and liquid manures. Approximately 81% of the total amount of
manure is located at farms with less than 100 livestock units. In Serbia, at
large farms with over 1,000 livestock units, about 12% of the total amount
of manure is generated. In 2020, about 23 Gg of CH4 and 1 Gg of N2O were
emitted directly from manure. About 1,1 Gg of N2O is emitted indirectly from
manure management. Total emissions of greenhouse gases originating from
manure in 2020 amounted to about 1,144 GgCO2eq. Greenhouse gas emissions are
declining due to the reduction of livestock, so in comparison to 1990, they
are reduced by 36% for this sector.

Published: April 2022

This paper contributes to the literature on hyperinflation and stabilizations by analyzing the great Yugoslav hyperinflation and stabilization during the period 1992 to 1994. The paper makes three contributions. First, it provides updated and more accurate estimates of key economic variables on economic activity, public finances, and seigniorage revenues during hyperinflation based on most recent and updated data. Second, it identifies and analyzes salient features, causes, transmission mechanisms, and monetary consequences of the extreme Yugoslav hyperinflation in the period 1992-1994. It discusses what we call the fundamental equations of the Yugoslav hyperinflation and their implications for inflation expectations and subsequent stabilization. And third, it analyzes the implementation, achievements, and challenges of the currency reform and stabilization program that ended hyperinflation, highlighting the roles of the currency board, currency reform, and of the architect of the program, Dragoslav Avramovic, the then governor of the Central Bank of FR Yugoslavia.

Avramovic’s contribution to the transition to market economy in Yugoslavia
Authors: Uvalic Milica
Published: April 2022

The paper is dedicated to Dragoslav Avramovic, a unique personality who
played a key role in a historically important period for Federal Republic
(FR) of Yugoslavia. After the successful implementation of his macroeconomic
stabilization program, Avramovic wanted to implement other important
economic reforms. In November 1995, he prepared the ?Program II? that
contained fifteen measures, one of which was the ?Democratization of
property relations?. Avramovic formed a Working Group in April 1996 that was
to prepare a privatization program for FR Yugoslavia. The program was soon
ready, proposing obligatory, comprehensive and fast privatization of all
enterprises in FR Yugoslavia, using a combination of different methods.
However, Avramovic?s privatization program was not even officially
discussed, since in mid-May 1995 he had to leave his position of Governor of
the National Bank. The paper also points to the profound ideological
differences among intellectuals at that time and to the wider consequences
of Avramovic?s departure.
Hyperinflation and banks
Authors: Urosevic Branko , Zikovic Bosko , Vasiljevic Nikola
Published: April 2022

In this paper we consider a triangular inter-dependence between
hyperinflation, financial repression, and the financial crisis in FRY in the
1990s. When all three vertices of the triangle are present, the crisis
propagates and is amplified along its edges. We focus, especially, on the
less studied link between the financial crisis and financial repression in
FRY. Setting administrative limits on interest rates under conditions of
hyperinflation leads to deeply negative real interest rates. The situation
in FRY was further aggravated by credit allocation to privileged
participants. Under such circumstances, all dinar components of bank balance
sheets quickly became worthless, credit activities of banks died down and
real quantities of dinars in circulation became negligible. The situation
improved only after the removal of the outside repression (i.e. removal of
sanctions), reorganization of the entire financial sector and the entrance
of foreign banks into the Serbian market at the beginning of 2000s.

A Study on the Effect of Curvilinear Bed Sill on River Bed Restoration
Authors: Sohrabi Moslem
Published: April 2022

Bed and bank scouring in a river has great impact on hydraulic structures such as bridges, water intakes and river habitats. In this study, experimental and numerical investigations were conducted to compare the effect of three types of bed sills on flow structure and the scouring pattern and also for understanding the performance of the bed sills. The study revealed that the vortices developed at the banks transfer sediments to the central parts of the channel. It was concluded that concave bed sill enables to stabilize bed at central part of the channel. Other types of bed sills such as sine and wing shapes were also tested and it was found that it is very effective for stabilizing both bed and banks simultaneously. It was found that locations of vortices and depths of scour for sine shape bed sill were changed according to its geometrical specifications. The distances of vortices from the bank were effective in the stability of bed and banks of the channel simultaneously. Furthermore, the results showed that the maximum and minimum of scouring depths occurred at the concave and wing bed sills, respectively.

Authors: Amenu Bekele Tona
Published: April 2022

Natural resource degradation has become a serious environmental problem in Ethiopia. Deforestation, which is occurring at an alarming rate, is one of such problems. Forest cover has been declining at an alarming rate indifferent areas of Dawuro zone, Essera district. This is because of expansion of agricultural land, cutting of trees for fuel, construction, charcoal making and pit-sawing, which are the manifestations of population pressure as well as failure in property rights institutions. The study was carried out in SNNPR in Dawuro zone in general Essera district in particular. The study was focused on the assessment of farmers’ participation towards forest production and protection in Essera district of Dawuro zone. In the study both primary and secondary data were used. Primary data was obtained from the respondents through semi- structured questionnaires and, interview schedule Sample size was obtained from this district by purposively selecting two kebele from twenty nine kebeles. The respondents were selected randomly and sample size obtained was 60. Collected data was analyzed using the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) and appropriate statistical procedures for description (frequencies, percent, means and standard deviation) were used. An attempt has been made to assess farmers’ participation on forest production and protection in the study area. From the respondents almost all are males and all are married finally the collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics such as percentages, frequencies and tabulation techniques. About 83.3% of the respondents participate on forest production and protection. The study also tried to show currently deforestation rate of forest was very high due to agricultural land expansion, for different constructions, fuel wood, urbanization, rural job opportunity for youths and climate change due to deforestation. Factors affecting farmers participation on forest production and protection were land size, age sex, family size, ethnicity, religion, education, marital status were the major ones. The study recommends that sustainable development and rural livelihood of rural household cannot be guaranteed through agricultural crops production alone. There is thus a need to restructure and strength the extension division service need to be established and integrated with the existing agricultural extension programs.

Food Supply of Purple Heron Disturbed by Local Fishing in Bung Khong Long Lake, Thailand
Authors: Kanongdate Kamalaporn
Published: April 2022

Abundant wetlands are generally considered providing the fundamental niche to multi- diet feeders like Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea L) whereas the realized niche may be over-looked. This study hypothesized that the fluctuation of observed number of A. purpurea at Bung Khong Long Lake (Ramsar Site) has influenced by local fishing since the maximum number was observed decreasing to 6 individuals between 2009/ 10 and 2010/ 11 even though the status is least concern for the country. Due to its feeding behavior on not specific preys, all possible food sources was sampled following the feeding route of Purple Heron and then was compared with fish-caught by local fishing per day, as well as observed fishing activities to cross check with feeding time of Purple Heron. Field investigation was conducted in early (EP), middle (MP), and late (LP) period of migratory season 2009/ 10 and 2010/ 11 and cross check with the official recorded number of Purple Heron obtained from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, Bangkok. Size and type of preys (seven fish species; medium size ~5- 15 cm) appeared to be the priority preference for Purple Heron’s feeding that was sampled higher in 2010/11 compared to 2009/10 migratory season (p = 0.003) and also seemed to be the common fish caught by local anglers. In addition, fish biomass has more or less influenced on the frequency of feeding rather than the number of fish and it showed significant highest in EP (p = 0.002) and less in LP as well as higher observed-number of Purple Heron in EP than LP. Based on daily required 200g/ day/individual, all food sources (mainly fish) sampling in the field insufficiently played a role as the hypothesized-realized niche for the maximum number of A. purpurea (606.08 g m-2 day-1; EP, 256.75 g m-2 day-1; MP, and 343.37 g m-2 day-1 ; LP, respectively). Whereas, fish caught on the seven species by local anglers resulted around 66,707 g m 2 day-1, which is higher than the hypothesized-realized niche that might push the birds to move out and shift to the better foraging places.
Global Challenge of Water Crisis
Authors: Ghosh Somenath
Published: April 2022

Water Scarcity is one of the most important environmental hazards world-over associated with atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. In spite of receiving intensive orographic rainfall, different sources of fresh water; most parts of the population is facing increasing water scarcity day by day. It is more prevalent in the under developed as well as developing countries, than in comparison to the developed ones. The water scarcity is having multiple reasons behind it. in the broader sense, the causes behind the water crisis are mainly of two types. They are either natural or anthropological. The present paper tries to focus on the mechanisms of water scarcity from the perspectives of physical processes and anthropogenic processes. Today's water scarcity in the developing and under developed world is mostly triggered by anthropogenic activities decreasing water supply both in relative term and absolute term. This paper finally presents some measures that can be taken to reduce the hazardous effects of water scarcity for sustainable development of the ecologically fragile ecosystems. At the end, this paper also tries to throw some light as a solution to this problem (in a long term way) for betterment of inhabitants of those water scarce regions of the world.

The samples of this research were 2 groups—the tenth-grade students of Natural Science 4 (the Experimental group) that were 36 students taught by using Community of Inquiry based Blended Learning model and the students of Natural Science 5 (the Control group) that were 34 students taught by using Conventional learning. The techniques of collecting the data were written pretest and posttest. The collected data were analyzed by using Independent Sample t test and to see the effect of using the coefficient of determination. The final data processing results obtained tcount of 1.778 while the value of ttable at a significant level of 5% = 1.684 then H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Means there is an influence of blended learning model based on community of inquiry (CoI) with conventional learning models on student learning outcomes. To determine the magnitude of the effect of the treatment used the coefficient of determination formula and the results obtained by 0.04, so the coefficient of influence (Kp) obtained is equal to 4%.Keywords : Blended Learning, Community of Inquiry, Learning Achievement, Atomic Structure and Periodic System of the ElementsAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ada atau tidaknya pengaruh dan peningkatan nilai model Blended Learning berbasis Community of Inquiry (CoI) terhadap prestasi belajar siswa.

Educational Robotics: Towards a Structured, Interdisciplinary Definition Based on the Curriculum in Greek Schools
Authors: Voutyrakou Dialekti Athina , Panos Apostolos
Published: April 2022

Educational Robotics (ER) will shape the future of education. However, there are many limitations in the existing literature on this topic, mostly related to its definition and its possible fields of application. Previous studies have mainly focused on existing equipment for ER and the variety of educational scenarios that can be developed with it, along with their potential benefits for a child. Despite this interest, to the best of our knowledge, few studies have investigated classifications of a structured definition for ER along with all the domains that can be easily connected with it. The following research is based both on a review of the existing literature as well as results from studies conducted by the authors and aims to provide a structured interdisciplinary definition of ER. Specifically, the authors conducted two different studies based on the official curriculum of the Greek Schools. Through these studies, the influence of ER in cultivating pupils' digital and social skills was investigated and the results will be presented below. Moreover, as usually ER is considered a subset of STEM or STEAM, this research aims to identify possibilities of applying ER in every course of the School Curriculum.
ON THE SPIRIT OF PROCEDURAL LAWS AND PROCEDURAL LEGAL INTERESTS
Authors: BURMISTROVA S.A.
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to substantiating the idea that the composition of legal permits regulated by procedural law is not limited to procedural subjective rights, as it may seem from a literal reading of procedural laws. Part of what the legislation calls procedural rights is actually procedural legal interests, since their implementation depends on judicial discretion, and therefore it is impossible to be sure that an attempt to implement them will lead to the desired result for the interested person. On the other hand, if the realization of such interests does take place, the judicial act will give such an interest the force of a subjective right, which indicates the ability of procedural interests to turn into procedural rights. The objects of procedural legal interests are investigated. It is shown that procedural interests can be directed to the process and to a certain result of the court’s consideration of the appeal on the merits. The procedural interest aimed at ensuring that the appeal gets to the court is a necessary stage in the realization of the interest in a certain result of the consideration of the appeal, in connection with which the first of the interests was designated as preliminary, the second as final. The range of possible holders of procedural interests is analyzed. The conclusion is obtained, according to which the court is not among the potential owners of procedural interests due to its position of authority in the process. The differentiation of procedural legal interests according to the procedural role of their owners is carried out. In accordance with this criterion, it is proposed to distinguish procedural interests that coincide, agree and contradict the procedural role. The obtained theoretical conclusion made it possible to make a proposal to expand the number of persons subject to recusal if their personal interests contradict the procedural role performed. The mentioned proposal applies to persons acting in the process of protecting the interests of others and the interests of an indefinite circle of persons.
CIVIL-LAW SET-OFF AND SET-OFF MADE WHEN THE COURT SATISFIES COUNTERCLAIMS AND INITIAL CLAIMS: THEORETICAL REFLECTIONS ON THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF LEGAL INSTITUTIONS (continuation)
Authors: ABUSHENKO D.B.
Published: April 2022

In the article, the author continues to distinguish between the civil-legal offset and the offset made when the court satisfies the counterclaim and initial claims. The issues related to the systematisation of exceptions from the general rule on the obligation of judicial recognition for the court are considered. Conflicts of the institution of recognition with other legal phenomena allowing the establishment of the opposite fact are revealed. It is proposed to divide these conflicts into factual and legal ones. An actual information conflict is understood as a contradiction of judicial recognition to well-known facts or sound logic, and a legal contradiction to legal institutions (this includes pre-judicial and other judicial acts, notarial acts, irrefutable presumptions, fictions, as well as «ordinary» evidence adopted in another court case). The paper suggests specific ways to resolve such conflicts by the law enforcement. Exceptions from the general rule on the obligation of judicial recognition, ensuring the protection of the rights of other persons, are also considered separately. Here, as a general rule, the conclusion is justified that judicial control over recognition should be carried out only if another person has the status of a person participating in the case.

The article outlines the main mechanisms of the adhesion process development of theperitoneal cavity on the basis of literature sources review. The main causes and riskfactors influencing the development of adhesive disease are described.Objective - to analyze the literature data to determine the mechanism of development ofthe adhesion process of the peritoneal cavity.Conclusion. The adhesion process is a consequence of mechanical intraoperativeperitoneal trauma and occurs immediately after the appearance of the trigger factorand continues throughout life. Of the existing theories of pathogenesis, common to allis that the matrix for the formation of adhesions against a background of inhibition ofthe tissue fibrinolytic system is fibrin. The processes of regeneration of the damagedperitoneum are not fully understood and there is no consensus on the benefits of one oranother adhesive factor.

The other day I was driving through the northern part of Rohe Pōtae o Maniapoto (the King Country). I grew up on a farm on the edge of Aohena. It is a beautiful place if you like the bush. I had left home in the dark, just as dawn was touching the sky. At that time of day, demarcations of time are very subtle, and I was reminded of one of my nannies who would greet the beauty of such a thing with a whisper:
Ki te whei ao (To the glimmer of dawn)Ki te ao mārama (To the bright light of day)Tihei mauri ora! (There is life!)
Healthcare provider payments: Acceptance and preferences of Myanmar general practitioners
Authors: Kyu Ei Mon Thinn
Published: April 2022

Universal Health Coverage (UHC), or people's access to quality essential health services without financial hardship, is one of the sustainable development goals for UN member countries to achieve by 2030. However, progress towards UHC has been uneven globally due to weaknesses in health financing. Although high-income countries such as New Zealand have been practising UHC for decades, it remains challenging for low-to-middle income countries to meet the goal in time. Myanmar, a Southeast Asian nation now on the verge of becoming a failed state due to the military coup, has struggled to restructure its healthcare financing mechanisms, especially in purchasing health services from private providers. Previous literature is biased to the Global North, with limited reference to Southeast Asia and little research focused on providers' perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs prior to introducing nationwide strategic purchasing payment mechanisms. These research gaps created an opportunity to investigate the relationships between General Practitioners' (GPs) socio-demographic characteristics and clinic services profile and their perceptions on payment methods. This research sought to examine Myanmar GPs' acceptance of, and preferences for, four major healthcare payment methods. A cross-sectional study was used, recruiting 622 participants with a convenience sampling method. A Qualtrics online survey was disseminated to Myanmar GPs through three different channels. The research showed that performance-based payment was the most acceptable and preferred payment method, followed by fee-forservice. Salary payments were reported as the least acceptable and preferred paymenttype, while findings on capitation were inconclusive. Despite the potential for this research to inform strategic purchasing arrangements in Myanmar, the scope for applying these findings, as initially intended, is not realistic in the immediate future because of the current political turmoil. In this context, the study's results provide valuable insights into the possible role of alternative provider payment architectures, particularly during public health emergencies.
