Authors: Skrypnyk Oleksandr , Ilyenko Alla , Salyvon Oleksandr , Hutnitskyi Vitalii
Published: June 2023

The article examines the conceptual foundations and significance of decent wages as a priority area for implementing socially responsible practices of business organizations. The study substantiates the actual role of this concept in the new business realities, the key trends of which are openness, networking, digitalization and globalization of processes. The purpose of the study is to determine the role of the concept of decent wages in the process of implementing socially responsible practices of a company. When studying theoretical approaches to the role of the concept of decent wages in ensuring the sustainability of business organizations, the author's vision on the value and practical significance of these processes has been formed. The author's own understanding of the relevance of these practices for business and society is determined. The potential opportunities for business organizations in the active application of socially responsible approaches to business activities are outlined and supplemented. Priority directions for strengthening the motivating role of the remuneration system in business organizations are identified. The study substantiates the proposal to reduce the fixed part of wages and increase the variable part, which will accordingly develop the ability of employees who are willing and able to earn money to perform work with greater efficiency. The idea that business entities should increase the share of labor remuneration in the cost of production and increase the amount of real wages has been developed. Since a decrease in real wages will also affect business organizations, with a decrease in the purchasing power of the population, sales volumes will decrease, and income and profits will decrease.
Plasmid Profile of Environmental and Clinical Isolates of Multidrug Resistant Salmonella Typhimurium from Patients Attending General Hospital Asokoro, Abuja and Environ
Authors: Cordelia Enyanwu Ofaka,
Published: June 2023

Plasmid is isolated from Salmonella typhimurium, an enteric bacterium responsible for gastro enteritis. Gastro enteritis remains a major clinical and public health problem all over the world, especially among children in the developing countries of the sub – Sahara Africa. The profiling of plasmid isolate of Salmonella typhimurium involved cultivation, isolation, identification, and characterization. The study aimed at investigating the multidrug resistance of salmonella typhimurium of patients attending General Hospital Asokoro with typhoid fever and the susceptibility of isolates to antibiotics. A total of thirty (30) samples, from blood, stool, and water were collected from patients attending General hospital, Asokoro and the environs. The specimens were analyzed using standard microbiological, biochemical, and serological techniques. Bacteriological analysis revealed that twenty-five (25) of the specimens were positive for Salmonella typhimurium. The other five (5) specimens were negative for salmonella typhymurium typhimurium. The biochemical test revealed that they were able to utilize sugar and are lactose fermenter. Anti-microbial susceptibility determination revealed that the most active drugs against salmonella include Ciprofloxacin, Ofloxacin, Amikacin, and Gentamicin. All the isolates were resistant to tetracycline and Ampicillin. There was marked resistance of all isolates to amoxicillin, doxycycline, and chloramphenicol. The result of findings revealed that the genes that encode resistance properties in Salmonella typhimurium are plasmid- borne in some of the bacteria. These plasmids can be cloned and used for genetic engineering and recombinant DNA technology. The antibiotic susceptibility determined the appropriate drugs efficient for therapy of Salmonella infections. Keywords: Antibiotic Susceptibility, Drug Resistance, Salmonella typhimurium, Plasmid.

Published: June 2023

Availability and accessibility of essential medicines for HIV recipients of care varies across regions in Nigeria. This study seeks to compare access and availability of medicines for HIV in the South south and Northeast regions of Nigeria. Data were collected from 120 health facilities and 385 respondents using structured questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The study methodology included an exploratory sequential mixed of quantitative and qualitative methods, including facility assessments, in-depth interviews, client satisfactory questionnaire conducted amongst HIV program stakeholders and HIV recipients of care. The study found that the HIV program in the regions have made progress in improving the accessibility of essential medicines for HIV patients. The North-East had an average access rate of 87.1%, while the South-South had a slightly higher average access rate of 85.6%. The North-East had a prescription rate of 100% for antiretroviral therapy (ART) for adolescents and for the preventive treatment for tuberculosis (INH + Pyridoxine). On the other hand, access to micronutrient supplementation was higher in the South-South region at 94.7%, compared to the North-East region with a rate of 74.2%. In conclusion, this study highlights that the availability of essential medicines such as ART drugs, micronutrients and prophylaxis for opportunistic infections, medicine supply, storage and documentation has improved overtime with support from donor agencies, though still challenged with electronic management systems and need for adequate procurement, quantification, additional technical assistance, funding and supply chain infrastructure is recommended to be addressed towards achievement of HIV epidemic control in Nigeria.

Effect of Lifestyle Modification Intervention on Diabetes Mellitus Treatment Outcomes in Tuberculosis Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in Southwest Nigeria
Authors: Godwin Ifeanyi Ugoh
Published: June 2023

There is an observed poor treatment outcome of Diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with Tuberculosis and Diabetes (TBDM) comorbidity due to interference of drugs used in the treatment of Tuberculosis (TB) with first- line drugs used in the treatment of DM. Insulin does not interact with TB drugs, but it is not accessible and affordable to low–resource communities due to high cost. Hence a lifestyle-based intervention, which this study evaluated to determine its effect on Diabetes control in these individuals. It is a quasi-experimental intervention with two groups of 25 participants each as experimental and control cohorts, enrolled from Tuberculosis Healthcare centers in Lagos and Oyo states. The questionnaires were administered after the baseline Glycated hemoglobin (HBA1c) has been measured, repeated after 12 weeks, and analyzed with SPSS software. In the control cohort, the difference in the means of HBA1c was statistically significant at 95%CI: 1.1(0.2 – 2.1; p<0.05), indicating a worsening of blood glucose control. The difference in the means of educational scores was not significant 95%CI: -0.04(-2.8 – 2.7; p<0.05), showing no uptake. In the intervention group, the difference in the means of the HBA1c was statistically significant 95%CI: -2.4(-3.1 – 1.6: p<0.05), indicating improvement in glucose control. The difference in the means of the educational and behavioral score was significant statistically 95%CI: 40.6(37.7 – 43.6; p<0.05) indicating uptake of behavioral changes. The intervention with educational and behavioral lifestyle modifications improved the blood glucose control as an adjunct to the conventional treatment with drugs compared to the control group.

Promotion of Gender Equality by the Mass Media of Dagestan in the 1960s and its Results
Authors: Mirzabekov Mirzabek Ya.
Published: June 2023

The issue of gender inequality in Russia’s Muslim regions is of great scientific interest and practical significance, and sociologists need to generalize the experience of the previous decades. Such multinational region as Dagestan provides a lot of useful data on the matter in question. This article describes the first attempt of the regional historiography to analyze the activities of Dagestan mass media to promote gender equality in the 1960s, e.g., in secondary schools, universities, socio-political life, culture, and family life. The author analyzed newspaper publications and documents from the Central State Archive of the Republic of Dagestan. The materials provided an objective scientific picture of the social landscape. The author relied on the principles of scientific objectivity and historicism and used comparative-historical, descriptive, and systematic research methods. All mass media obviously experienced some difficulties in covering the gender issues. However, the analysis revealed some positive trends and results in the struggle for gender equality in Dagestan, e.g., in the sanitary culture of urban and rural settlements. Still, this socio-political and socio-cultural issue remained unresolved by the end of the 1960s.
Social Sustainability and Globalization; A Resilient Quarter and Suq Mutrah in Muscat-Oman
Authors: AL-Habsi Fatma
Published: June 2023

This study examines the impact of globalization on the historic urban fabric of Mutrah, with a specific focus on the coastal neighbourhood of Sur al Lawatiyah and the development of the souq Mutrah in Muscat, Oman. The city's urban design reflects its challenging and fractured history, marked by fortified walls, towering forts, and a dense, clustered urban fabric, particularly during and after the Portuguese occupation. Additionally, the study explains how social sustainability, one of the key pillars of sustainability, has been affected by globalization. Despite being separated from the surrounding neighbourhoods by massive walls and gates, the souq Mutrah, located in the middle, is a crucial public space for people to gather, making it an essential element in Islamic neighbourhoods.
Furthermore, the study examines the effect of the souq Mutrah's development on the surrounding neighbourhood of Sur Al-Lawatiyah. The souq has been redesigned and transformed into a larger market that attracts people from all over the world, reflecting the city's multi-cultural identity. Although some residents have created physical and social boundaries to protect themselves from visitors, the souq remains an important public space for locals to gather, trade, and work. Ultimately, the study concludes that the souq's development has increased social interaction and the sense of space without negatively affecting the surrounding neighbourhood's identity or way of life.

Functional unloading of skeletal muscles enhances proteasome degradation in which the key role is played by Е3-ligases atrogin-1/MAFbx and MuRF-1. Their expression starts growing on the first day of unloading. There is actually little literature on expression of ubiquitin ligases in dry immersion or bedrest. Our purpose was to investigate MuRF-1 and MAFbx expression and control in postural m. soleus and locomotor m. vastus lateralis during a 21-day bedrest study. The observed reduction of cross-section areas in slow fibers of m. soleus and m. vastus lateralis was accompanied by activation of MuRF-1 and MAFbx in m. soleus and MAFbx in m. vastus lateralis, respectively. The investigation of E3 ligases signal pathways showed an increased expression of myogenin and IL-6 receptors in both muscles, whereas transcriptional activation of FoxO3 was seen in m. soleus only. These results suggest elevated expression of Е3-ubiquitin ligases MuRF-1 and MAFbx in m. soleus and MAFbx in m. vastus lateralis, as well as their key signal pathways in bedrested human subjects. Also, our findings argue against the previously stated notion that degradation of protein has no influence on skeletal muscles atrophy due to hypokinesia.

One of the methods to deliver nutrients to roots in microgravity is to grow plants on a fiber ion-exchange salted artificial soil (AS) and control the watering potential by a tensiometer made of porous metals. Five experiments with Chinese cabbage crops raised on AS BIONA-V3 laid upon titanic porous membranes provided insight into dynamics of size and composition of a microbial community in the root zone and on roots. It was found that the root zone and roots of healthy crops were populated by bacteria Bacillaceae and Pseudomonadaceae, and micromycetes Mucor sp. Analysis of changes in the number of microorganisms in root zone showed that an increase in micromycetes was parallel to a decrease in Pseudomonadaceae, and conversely. The data infer that these groups of microorganisms are in competitive and/or antagonistic relations. The experiments did not establish a strong dependence between the size of Bacillaceae and Pseudomonadaceae populations which means they do not depress each other.

Authors: Maske Vijay , Manwatkar Mayuri
Published: June 2023

The ultimate aim of Ayurveda is to attain Dhatusamya (equilibrium of body tissues), which is achieved with the help of medicine. For the medicine to be effective, it is important to consider Kala (period) which is of 2 types – Kshanadi (fraction of second, minute, hour, etc.) and Vyadhi Avastha (stage of disease). Proper analysis of Vyadhi Avastha helps us for proper treatment. Vega Avastha is quoted in context of various diseases in classical texts. The manifestation, recurrence or rise in symptoms of disease is termed as Veg Avastha. Currently, we are badly facing the relapse of various infectious diseases. So, to answer the problem of disease relapse, it is important to study its counterpart in Ayurveda i.e., Vyadhi Veg Avastha thoroughly so that we can prevent the relapse or treat it effectively. So, the present article focusses on to study Vyadhi Veg Avastha from classical texts of Ayurveda.

Published: June 2023

Ayurveda is a traditional medical practise that emphasises both preventive and therapeutic care for a person's health. The significance of taking care of the mother before, during, and after pregnancy is heavily emphasised. The reproductive cycle is very significant to a woman's existence. Every woman in the world has the most wonderful dream of being a mother. The most important and difficult time in a woman's life is during pregnancy. Numerous factors, including as eating habits, lifestyle choices, and psychological considerations, might have an impact on pregnancy. Throughout its intrauterine life, the foetus depends on its mother for both nutrition and development. The great Ayurvedic authorities described the Garbhopaghatakara Bhavas, or things to avoid during pregnancy, while describing Garbhini Paricharya. When present during pregnancy, Garbhopaghatakara Bhavas are such variables that have the potential to injure or destroy the foetus or its development. One of the saddest elements of pregnancy is a deformed living foetus. Due to carelessness or ignorance, all women in today's fast-paced society accidentally do some behaviours that are advised against during pregnancy, which can result in miscarriages, abortions, and other obstetrical issues. Here, an attempt has been made to examine the mother and offspring's Garbhopaghatakara Bhavas.

Authors: Anubhav  , Rosy Gupta
Published: June 2023

Musculoskeletal diseases are increasing due to stressful life and other causative factors representing manifestations like pain, swelling, stiffness, reduced mobility of the joint involved etc. Amongst them Amavata is very common which is correlated with Rheumatoid arthritis. Ama is the byproduct of improper digestion which obstructs body channels and accumulates in Sandhi (joints). Vitiated Vata Dosha and Ama come together in Amavata causing symptoms like Angamarda (bodyache), Aruchi (anorexia), Stabdhata (stiffness). Women are affected approximately three times more often than men with this chronic multisystem autoimmune disease, RA. Ayurveda focuses on the cure of root cause of the disease. Eranda (Ricinus communis) is mentioned as having specific Amavatahara Prabhava in Ayurveda classics. Eranda root as mentioned in Ayurvedic classics works on both vitiated Vata and the Ama by its Rasa Gunadi properties thus breaking the pathogenesis of Amavata. Since Eranda is easily available in India it can be a safe, effective and economic solution for Amavata / Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Published: June 2023

Fuel alternative diesel was developed aiming to develop environmentally friendly alternative fuels in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical properties and quality of diesel produced from coconut shell liquid smoke, B20, and B40. The quality and physical properties of diesel in question were tested in terms of its Calorific Value, Viscosity, Density, and Cetane Number test. Based on the engine performance testing, the parameters sought were torque, power, and specific fuel consumption. In this case, the testing of the physical properties of diesel was conducted through the comparison of the fuel used, among others, the highest torque value was obtained at 32.415 Nm on diesel fuel for the engine shaft rotation of 1980 rpm with the mass load of 9.6 kg. Furthermore, fuel consumption specific was obtained from diesel fuel with the largest rotation of 3548 rpm using 337.4 g/kWh, while the lowest value was obtained from diesel B40 with a torque value of 24.702 Nm. In this case, the lowest mass fuel consumption specific (SFC)) was found in coconut shell oil mixture with the largest rotation of 1520 rpm using 40.9 g/kWh. The conclusion made was that the addition of coconut shell oil in diesel can reduce energy because the calorific value decreased, as evidenced by the addition of coconut shell oil causing the engine performance to decrease.

Ballistic testing was carried out experimentally according to National Institute of Justice standards (NIJ Standard 0101.06 level III-A) using a 9 mm full-metal jacket projectile with a normal angle of attack (90° to the target). The results showed that fiber metal laminate could withstand the projectile rate by penetrating the first layer (aluminum plate) and the second layer (aramid/epoxy), while the last layer was deformed to form a bulge. The pierced aluminum plate is characterized by petalling failure. Meanwhile, the aramid/epoxy was penetrated by the projectile with failure of the primary yarn to break the fiber.

Lactuca sativa L. has good economic prospects, but lettuce production often declines due to the unmet water requirement of lettuce. This study aimed to determine the water needs of lettuce on Inceptisol and Vertisol based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The location study was in the green house, Huluduotamo Village, Bone Bolango Regency, from September to October 2021, while the Vertisol and Inceptisol samples were from Sidomukti Village, Gorontalo Regency. This study used the Penman method with the Cropwat 8.0 application which was integrated with a smartphone through the Blynk (IoT) application. The water requirement yield of lettuce plants in September on Vertisol and Inceptisol in the early phase was 2.45 mm/day, the middle phase was 3.73 mm/day, and the final phase was 3.54 mm/day. Soil moisture detection device at field capacity moisture content produces 319 Analog Digital Converter (ADC) and soil in moist conditions reaches 534 ADC. The analog data value of the water content of the Inceptisol field capacity is 343 ADC and the soil in a moist state is 574 ADC. The performance of the device for detecting soil moisture in the water condition of the 15% field capacity of Vertisol and 22% Inceptisol is more effective than the gravimetric method.

The high demand for mustard greens from consumers in Sidoarjo has forced farmers to increase their production. One of the efforts made is to provide excessive N, P, and K fertilizers. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the combined application of goat manure and N, P, K on growth, yield, P uptake, and soil chemical properties. Six treatments and three replications arranged in a randomized block design. The results showed that the combination of goat manure and N, P, K fertilizer had a significant effect (p<0.05) on plant height, number of leaves, plant fresh weight, total plant P, soil pH, soil organic C, soil total N, soil C/N ratio, and soil total P, but not significantly different (p>0.05) on plant dry weight, P absorption, and available P of the soil. The combination of goat manure and N, P, K fertilizer increased plant height from 36.4 cm to 50 cm (+37.4%), number of leaves from 18 to 43 leaves (+143.8%), fresh weight from 92 g to 310 g (+237%), dry weight from 10.8 g to 14.1 g (+30.6%), total crop P from 1.4% to 1.45% (+3.6%), P uptake from 15.1 g to 20.5 g (+35.2%), organic C from 0.97% to 1.25% (+28, 9%), total N from 0.35% to 0.42% (+20%), C/N ratio from 2.77 to 2.97 (+7.2%), total P from 18.9 mg 100 g-1 to 36.6 mg 100 g-1 (+26.6%), and available P from 4.22 ppm to 6.24 ppm (+49.9%).

Tunneling Josephson junctions of the superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) type have a history of more than 50 years, and theoretical estimates of the ultimate parameters of devices for receiving and processing signals based on them look very promising. In practice, in many cases, the actually achieved parameters turn out to be much worse than the theoretical ones, so for niobium SQUIDs the characteristic voltage Vc=IcRn at best reaches 200 µV, and according to theory it should be up to 2 mV. For Terahertz SIS mixers and oscillators, the main problems are a large specific capacitance, hysteresis, and leakage currents. These problems may be related to the morphology and crystal structure of superconductor films. In practice, films are granular, tunnel barriers are nonuniform, the effective area is about 10% of geometric area, leakage currents, parasitic capacitances occur.
The crystal structure determines fundamentally different properties of the same elements, for example, for carbon it is diamond, graphite, fullerenes, nanotubes. Important components of a promising superconducting technology are: the use of single-crystal substrates matched in lattice constant and orientation with the grown films, optimization of growth temperature conditions, controlled formation of an oxide or nitride tunnel barrier. One option is to use a Schottky barrier for the semiconductor interlayer instead of a dielectric or normal metal one. This review presents the results of studying films by X-ray diffraction diagnostics, atomic force microscopy, and electron microscopy, showing the main bottlenecks of the existing technology with the deposition of niobium, niobium nitride, and aluminum films on oxidized standard silicon substrates, as well as the results of quasi-epitaxial growth of films on single-crystal substrates at various temperature conditions. Reproducible manufacturing of high-quality tunnel junctions can be achieved by implementing atomically smooth surfaces of tunnel contacts, which will improve the signal and noise characteristics of superconducting devices for receiving and processing information.

Background

Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) is effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders. iCBT clinical trials use relatively long and time-consuming disorder-specific rather than transdiagnostic anxiety measurements. Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale (OASIS) is a brief self-report scale that could offer a universal, easy-to-use anxiety measurement option in disorder-specific and transdiagnostic iCBT programs.

Objective

We aimed to investigate relationships between OASIS and disorder-specific instruments in iCBT. We expected these relationships to be positive.

Methods

We investigated patients in original nationwide iCBT programs for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder, which were administered by Helsinki University Hospital, Finland. In each program, anxiety symptoms were measured using both disorder-specific scales (the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale, Penn State Worry Questionnaire, revised Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, Panic Disorder Severity Scale, and Social Phobia Inventory) and by OASIS. A general linear model for repeated measures (mixed models) and interaction analysis were used for investigating the changes and relationships in the mean scores of OASIS and disorder-specific scales from the first session to the last one.

Results

The main effect of linear mixed models indicated a distinct positive association between OASIS and disorder-specific scale scores. Interaction analysis demonstrated relatively stable associations between OASIS and the revised Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (F822.9=0.09; 95% CI 0.090-0.277; P=.32), and OASIS and the Panic Disorder Severity Scale (F596.6=–0.02; 95% CI –0.108 to –0.065; P=.63) from first the session to the last one, while the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (F4345.8=–0.06; 95% CI –0.109 to –0.017; P=.007), Penn State Worry Questionnaire (F4270.8=–0.52; 95% CI –0.620 to –0.437; P<.001), and Social Phobia Inventory (F862.1=–0.39; 95% CI –0.596 to –0.187; P<.001) interrelated with OASIS more strongly at the last session than at the first one.

Conclusions

OASIS demonstrates clear and relatively stable associations with disorder-specific symptom measures. Thus, OASIS might serve as an outcome measurement instrument for disorder-specific and plausibly transdiagnostic iCBT programs for anxiety disorders in regular clinical practice.

Background

Veterans with psychiatric disorders want additional career development services to support their recovery and pursuit of meaningful employment. However, no career counseling programs have been designed for this specific population. We developed the Purposeful Pathways intervention to fill this need.

Objective

This study protocol aims to (1) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the Purposeful Pathways intervention for veterans living with psychiatric disorders and (2) explore preliminary clinical outcome data.

Methods

A total of 50 veterans who are participating in transitional work vocational rehabilitation services at a Veterans Affairs hospital will be randomized to either treatment as usual or the augmented treatment condition (treatment as usual plus Purposeful Pathways). Feasibility will be assessed via recruitment rates, clinician fidelity to treatment, retention rates, and acceptability of randomization procedures. Acceptability will be assessed via client satisfaction at treatment termination using quantitative and qualitative data collection. Preliminary clinical and vocational outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks (treatment termination), and a 3-month follow-up via quantitative measures assessing vocational functioning, vocational process, and mental and physical functioning.

Results

This pilot randomized controlled trial is beginning recruitment in June 2023 and is expected to continue through November 2025. Data collection is expected to be completed by February 2026, with full data analysis completed by March 2026.

Conclusions

Findings from this study will provide information on the feasibility and acceptability of the Purposeful Pathways intervention, as well as secondary outcomes related to vocational functioning, vocational process, and mental and physical functioning.
