Currently, the world is undergoing changes under the influence of global trends of a social, technological, economic, environmental and political nature, including those affecting the development of the global labor market. To date, the need for highly qualified specialists is felt most acutely, as well as the need for high-quality selection and evaluation of personnel. Providing the country's economy with qualified personnel with a high level of competence and mobility is one of the seven tasks for the implementation of the state employment policy, which the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan K-Zh. Tokayev set for the Government [1]. The goal is to develop proposals for improving the state policy in the field of employment, through the development of a system of interaction between the territorial bodies of employment of the population, the state education of the subject and business. The study focuses on labor market analysis methods. For the analysis of the labor market, methods of comparative analysis and generalization, the method of system analysis were used. The article analyzes the main indicators of the labor market and unemployment in the Republic of Kazakhstan. In modern state policy, comprehensive support for entrepreneurship has been brought to the fore as priorities, conditions have been created for the development of small and medium-sized businesses, as evidenced by the indicators of the development of institutions and infrastructure. On the part of the state authorities, interaction is manifested in the creation of business associations, raising the level of business support programs, lowering administrative barriers, participation of business representatives in the procedures for assessing and adjusting regulatory impact.

Published: April 2023

Страхование от несчастных случаев на производстве и профессиональных заболеваний широко распространен во многих странах. Это говорит об его важном значении. Данный вид страхования может включать медицинское обслуживание, профессиональную реабилитацию и пособия работникам, которые получили травму на производстве или страдают профессиональными заболеваниями, а также пособия по случаю потери кормильца, выплачиваемые членам семей жертв, погибших от несчастных случаев на производстве. Существуют государства, которые предоставляют компенсации через общее социальное законодательство без специального законодательства о трудовых увечьях. Такая система существует в Норвегии. В ней пособия из общей схемы социального обеспечения дополнены специальными компенсационными выплатами за инвалидность и трудовые увечья, если они подтверждены. В данной статье авторами проведен анализ системы страхования от несчастных случаев на производстве и профессиональных заболеваний в Норвегии. Особое внимание уделено вопросам выплаты компенсации, установления инвалидности, случаев выплаты реабилитационных пособий, предоставления различных льгот в данной стране. В результате проведения исследования изучены особенности и определена модель функционирования системы страхования от несчастных случаев на производстве и профессиональных заболеваний Норвегии. При проведении исследования были использованы методы группировки, обобщения и обработки необходимого материала.

Insuring from casualty accidents and occupational diseases at stages of production is widely used in many countries. The fact of it says about its importance. Such types of insurance might include medical service, professional rehabilitation and additional employee benefits for those who get injuries at production or illnesses also benefits for a loss of a wage worker, including payments for family members of a person who accidentally lost his life during production. There are many countries, that deliver a compensation through a common social law without lining with special law about work injuries. But there are some countriesthat do the opposite. One of which is Norway. Norway has benefits adjusted with special compensational payments for injuriens if such is confirmed. In this article, authors made a deep analysis of insurance system from accidental injuries or occupational diseases at the stages of production in Norway. The authors analyzed the system of insurance against industrial accidents and occupational diseases. Particular attention is paid to the issues of payment of compensation, the establishment of disability, cases of payment of rehabilitation benefits, and the provision of various benefits. As a result of the study, the features were studied and the model of the functioning of the insurance system against industrial accidents and occupational diseases in Norway was determined. During the research, methods of grouping, summarizing and processing the necessary material were used.

Odontoma or odontome is the most common odontogenic tumor in oral cavity. Complex odontomas are commonly found in the posterior mandible region. Complex odontoma or fibro odontoma is most commonly located in anterior maxilla. Odontoma are hamartoma comprised of various dental tissues, that is, enamel, dentin, cementum, and occasionally pulp. Odontoma are slow-growing, benign tumors. The World Health Organization (WHO) outlines odontomas as two types-complex odontoma and compound odontoma. Complex odontoma very rarely erupts in the oral cavity. We report this interesting case of a large erupted complex odontoma in anterior maxilla.

Study of Water Filtration Without Chemical Pre-Treatment
Authors: Jeje J. O.
Published: April 2023

This research work focused on studying water purification without chemical pre-treatment. In the studies, alternative approaches were carried out to develop a filter bed suitable for filtering water without the use of chemical treatments that is also cost effective. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipes (100 × 1700) mm were used as filter boxes. The experiment carried out during the study was divided into two major parts; that is slow sand and rapid sand filter parameters. The slow sand filter consisted of two filter pipes, one consisting of a stratified layer of sand of size range of 0.20 – 0.60 mm with a depth of 700 mm as filter medium. The turbidity, filtration rate and head loss of the effluent across the filter were monitored for 15 days. It was found that slow sand filter plus granular activated carbon (GAC) and rapid sand filter plus GAC were more effective in the removal of turbidity. Turbidity reduced with the increase in time. Rapid sand filter was found to be the least effective in the removal of bacteria while slow sand filter plus GAC was the most effective. The slow sand filter unit gave a very high coliform count compared to other filter units. It was found that the filtration rate plays a vital role in the mechanism of filtration.
Investigating Transfer Learning Approaches for Mining Opinions in the Electoral Domain
Authors: Soares dos Santos Jessica , Paes Aline , Bernardini Flávia
Published: April 2023

The use of social media data to mine opinions during elections has emerged as an alternative to traditional election polls. However, relying on social media data in electoral scenarios comes with a number of challenges, such as tackling sentences with domain specific terms, texts full of hate speech, noisy, informal vocabulary, sarcasm and irony. Also, in Twitter, for instance, loss of context may occur due to the imposed limit of characters to the posts. Furthermore, prediction tasks that use machine learning require labeled datasets and it is not trivial to reliably annotate them during the short period of campaigns. Motivated by these issues, we investigate how to boost and speed-up the performance of opinion mining tasks during elections. We start by proposing a transfer learning approach that leverages curated datasets from other domains. To avoid negative transfer, i.e. introducing a knowledge from the other domains that could end up by disturbing the task, we propose to use similarity metrics (Jaccard, Cosine and Euclidean distance based on word embeddings) to point out whether or not the dataset should be used. Our preliminary results show that taking into account the (dis)similarity between different domains, it is possible to achieve results closer to the ones that would be achieved with classifiers trained with annotated datasets of the electoral domain.

A first-principles approach to the electronic structure of rare-earth semiconductors
Authors: Galler Anna
Published: April 2023

The electronic structure of the rare-earth mononitrides LnN (where Ln=rare-earth), which are promising materials for future spintronics applications, is difficult to resolve experimentally due to a strong influence of defects on their transport and optical properties. At the same time, LnN are challenging for theory, since wide semiconducting/semimetallic 2p and 5d bands need to be described simultaneously with strongly correlated 4f states. Here, we calculate the many-body spectral functions and optical gaps of a series of LnN (with Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) by a density-functional+dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) approach treating the correlated Ln 4f shells within the quasi-atomic Hubbard-I approximation. The on-site Coulomb interaction in the 4f shell is evaluated by a constrained DFT+Hubbard-I approach. Furthermore, to improve the treatment of semiconducting bands in DFT+DMFT, we employ the modified Becke-Johnson semilocal exchange potential. Focusing on the paramagnetic high-temperature phase, we  find that all investigated LnN are pd semiconductors with gap values ranging from 1.02 to 2.14 eV along the series. Despite a pronounced evolution of the Ln 4f states along the series, empty 4f states are invariably found above the bottom of the 5d conduction band. The calculated spectra agree well with those available from x-ray photoemission, x-ray emission and x-ray absorption measurements.

Background: We describe changes in the distance travelled, the utilization of emergency services, and the in-hospital mortality before and after the centralization of hospital emergency services in Denmark. Methods: All unplanned non-psychiatric hospital contacts from adults (aged ≥18 years) in 2008 and 2016 are included. Analyses are age-standardized and conducted at a municipality level. The municipalities are divided into groups according to the presence of emergency hospital services. Results: Municipalities where hospitals with emergency services have been closed differed by having the most significant increase in distance travelled from 2008 to 2016. All groups experienced a reduction in overall in-hospital mortality. The reduction in mortality was not present for acute myocardial infarct contacts from municipalities where hospitals with emergency services have been closed. Conclusion: Our data do not suggest that hospital closures, and thereby increased travel distance, have contributed significantly as a barrier to emergency-care access and changes to in-hospital mortality.
Entering a New Stage: Reflections on Virtual Theater and Public Humanities Practice
Authors: Sharrah Rhonda , Muñoz Laura
Published: April 2023

This article chronicles the experience of planning a virtual theater festival during the first stage of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. UCLA’s Diversifying the Classics had to pivot from planning for an in-person LA Escena Festival of Hispanic classical theater to an online version, which brought challenges but also exciting new opportunities. The team of professors and graduate students brought their experience from planning an in-person festival in 2018, and they quickly began to learn new skills required for the technical and logistical challenges of the virtual festival. Collaboration was key for their success, and the new format opened up avenues for closer engagement with performers from a wider geographical range. Questions and opportunities remain for theater projects exploring virtual forms, even after the pandemic. The chronicle reflects on how LA Escena 2020 came together and considers best practices for future artistic collaborations in virtual theater.
Un clásico visto por otro clásico: Trabajo dramatúrgico para La vida es sueño según Lorca

A modo de crónica, el presente artículo explica el trabajo dramatúrgico que el autor ha llevado a cabo a la hora de elaborar el libreto de Cielo Calderón o La vida es sueñosegún Lorca, la puesta en escena que reconstruye el montaje de 1932 en el que La Barraca puso en escena el auto sacramental La vida es sueño. Tomando como hipótesis dramatúrgica común a ambos proyectos (el del auto calderoniano y el del espectáculo lorquiano) la idea de que el hombre solo puede ejercer su libertad mediante el uso de la razón y la cultura, a lo largo de estas páginas analizo las estrategias que he desarrollado para poner de manifiesto los paralelismos y divergencias entre los dos planos de ficción que se presentan en nuestro espectáculo a través de recursos como el teatro dentro del teatro, la intertextualidad y la técnica del collage o el teatro invisible.
Polygamy Re-Imagined and Re-Negotiated: A Postcolonial Reflection on Gender, Sexuality, and Narrative Theology in Africa Christianity
Authors: Idumwonyi Itohan Mercy
Published: April 2023

The impact of the Christian message on the family’s existential foundation underpins this article. The quest/ion of polygamy has been in public discourse as extramarital affairs where husbands in monogamous unions increasingly “cheat” on wives with mistresses, referred to in modern parlance as “side chicks.” Historically, polygamy assumed a new turn when Western culture became Christian virtue, thus a civilizing “norm.” The demonization of polygamy stirred converted-husbands to divorce all wives except one. This article uses multidisciplinary approaches to theologize and interrogate the impact of Christian encounters on the culture of Benin City, Nigeria. I argue that the family disruption pointedly impacted mothers and created a “new social order” with the commodification of sex and a surge in sex work, workers, traffickers, and trafficking in Benin, and thus it is a form of religious violence. I conclude that the value of African polygamy reasonably exceeds the alternative establishment and proliferation of divorce or serial relationships situated within the “civilizing” Western culture.

Published: April 2023

Three yearling uncastrated males of Sudan Nubian goatsranging in weight between 14 and 20 kg were used in a 3x3 latin squaredesign experiment with the objective of studying the effects of feed andwater restriction on dry matter intake (DMI), water intake, digestibility ofnutrients, rumen components, blood urea-N (BUN), rectal temperatureand respiration rate. The experiment consisted of three treatments:Adlibitum feed and water, feed restricted to 50% of adlibitum level withadlibitum water, water restricted to 50% of adlibitum level with adlibitumfeed. The results revealed no significant treatment effects on water intake,urine volume, rectal temperature and respiration rate. However, DMIdiffered significantly between treatments. The adlibitum provision ofwater resulted in insignificant higher water intake compared with theother two treatments. Rectal temperature was higher in water restrictedgoats than in feed restricted goats, whereas respiration rate decreasedinsignificantly with both feed and water restrictions. Feed and waterrestrictions had no effect on the digestibility coefficients of the variousnutrients. Water restricted goats showed, however, different trends exceptfor ether extract digestibility which tended to decrease. Treatment had nosignificant effect on the total digestible nutrients (TDN) values. The TDNtended to be higher with water restriction. There was no significanttreatment effect on rumen pH, ammonia-N (NH3 -N) and BUN. Feed andwater shortage did not significantly affect digestibility of the proximatecomponents but tended to slightly affect rumen metabolites, BUN,respiration rate and rectal temperature.

Published: April 2023

This study was conducted to investigate the potassium (K)efficiency of wheat and sugar beet under field conditions and to identifythe varying mechanisms or factors behind their efficiency. Data wereobtained from a long term fertilizer experiment, on a K "fixing" sandyclay loam in Bavaria, southern Germany, in which K fertilization ratesvaried from 0 to 1000 kg K ha-1 year-1 with the last K application in 1986.In 2003, sugar beet and spring wheat were sown on March 13 th and April4 th , respectively. At 4 and 5 harvests for wheat and sugar beet,respectively, random samples of shoots, roots and soil of each speciesfrom the unfertilized (-K) and the highest fertilizer level of 1000 kg K ha-1(+K) treatments were analyzed. Sugar beet and wheat had similar Kefficiency producing 76 % and 80 % beet and grain yield on unfertilizedcompared with fertilized treatments, respectively. As compared to wheat,sugar beet had a higher internal K requirement, two times higher shootgrowth rate (GRs), 34% to 48 % of the wheat root length (RL), andconsequently a larger GR/RL, that is higher demand for K uptake on theroots. However, sugar beet showed an exceptionally high uptakeefficiency of the single roots or influx, which was 5 times higher inunfertilized treatments, as compared with wheat. Wheat K efficiency wasattributed to a higher utilization efficiency or lower internal requirement,slow growing shoots and a large root system. Further investigations arenecessary to study the mechanism by which sugar beet was able toachieve a higher influx than wheat.
Implementing the interRAI Check-Up Comprehensive Assessment: Facilitating Care Planning and Care Coordination during the Pandemic
Authors: Schumacher Connie Louise , Correia Rebecca , Hogeveen Sophie , Salter Megan , Donaldson Bailey
Published: April 2023

Background: Long-stay home care patients are a large population of older adults with multi-morbidity and frailty. The COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges to executing care coordination and completing in-home assessments due to provincial mandates restricting in-person care. We evaluated the implementation of the interRAI Check-Up Self-Report instrument administered by phone and video.
Methods: We report on a mixed-methods study, which involved the collection and analysis of survey and focus group data. Care coordinators from two regions in Ontario who had implemented the Check-Up at least once between March 2020 to September 2021 were recruited via convenience sampling.
Results: A total of 48 survey respondents and 7 focus group participants consented to the study. Advantages of completing the Check-Up over the telephone or video call included: reduced travel time, reduced risk of disease transmission, familiarity with the assessment questions, and reduced time spent administering the assessment. Limitations most frequently reported were: the inability to see the living environment, hearing impairments, inability to observe non-verbal responses or cues, language barriers, difficulty building rapport, and difficulty understanding the patient.
Conclusions: The Check-Up was advantageous in providing sufficient information to create a care plan when administered over the phone and by video. Implementation of the Check-Up assessment was facilitated by familiarity and alignment with other interRAI assessments. Our results indicate that population characteristics need to be taken into consideration for administration of self-report style of assessments.
ETUDE DE LA FREQUENCE DES HELMINTHIASES CHEZ LA BÊTE PORCINE DANS LA LOCALITE MATCHA PROVINCE DU NORD-KIVU

L'élevage porcin dans la localité Matcha est de type traditionnel. L’animaux vagabondant dans les villages et les champs des alentours à la recherche de sa nourriture, où à certains endroits, il est élevé attaché au piquet où la corde lui confie une superficie pour son ravitaillement.

L’étude que nous avons menée a fait objet de 7 principaux helminthes entre autres : Strongyloides ransomi, Ascaris suum, Macracanthorhynchus hirudinaceus, Trichuris suis, Metastrongylus salmi, Physocephalus sexalatus et Gnathostoma hispidum.

Le Tænia solium, responsable de la cysticercose, n’a pas fait objet de notre recherche car il semble avoir aujourd'hui presque disparu dans la localité Matcha en raison de la facilité pour les services vétérinaires à le détecter.

Les caractéristiques socio-économiques actuelles de la production porcine dans la localité Matcha n’envisage pas une prophylaxie rationnelle de ces parasitoses par les anthelminthiques.

Dans ce milieu, la viande de porc est plus abordable que les autres viandes et fait objet d’une forte demande des milieux environnants et principalement de la ville de Goma située à plus ou moins 28 km.

La présence de ces helminthiases n’est pas à ignorer et doit amener les services vétérinaires à poursuivre leurs efforts dans la recherche approfondie afin d’épargner cette population de différentes zoonoses dont cette viande serait la source et pourquoi pas interpeller le gouvernement à mettre au point des stations gouvernementales dirigées par les vétérinaires dans l’objectif de lutter contre les helminthes.

Authors: Awele Vivian Ekwezia
Published: April 2023

The government's dedication to ensuring that students acquire technical and vocational skills for self-development and economic growth is reflected in the integration of the TVET program into Nigeria's educational ecosystem. Nevertheless, signs point to a decrease in students enrolling in vocational programs. The current study aimed to determine whether secondary school students were interested in the TVET program based on critical thinking and open-mindedness. The study involved 233 secondary school students from public and private institutions in Anambra State. 13 (12.4%) respondents were 17 years old, 103 (58.0%) respondents were 16 years old, and 87 (25.6%) respondents were 15 years old. Among the respondents were 84 males (41.0 percent) and 119 females (59.0 percent). They filled out self-report questionnaires on their interest in TVET, their level of creativity, and their level of open-mindedness. The results showed that creative thinking ( =.183, p .001) and open-mindedness ( = 168, p .001) among secondary school students in Anambra State were significant predictors of student interest in vocational programs. The two predictor variables explained the total variance in the students' interest in vocational programs to 42.2%. The study's conclusions and practical implications are discussed.

Authors: Amoo Afeez Oladeji , Ahmed Sabo , Haruna Adamu
Published: April 2023

This research aimed to investigate how combining process variables affects biogas production from anaerobic digestion of food waste and rumen contents. A mixture design was used to evaluate the effects of temperature, pH, agitation frequency, and retention time on biogas quantity and quality. Anaerobic mono-digestion and co-digestion were performed using 2 liter single-stage plastic anaerobic digesters. Cumulative biogas volume and its composition, including carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, moisture, and methane content, were estimated volumetrically. The highest biogas volume and quality were obtained under the following conditions: food waste (0.30 kg), rumen content (0.30 kg), water content (0.40 kg), temperature (34.0° C), pH (9.0), agitation frequency (4 times/day), and retention time (32 days). Combining process variables can significantly impact biogas quantity and quality, and optimal process parameters vary depending on the substrate and operational conditions. Anaerobic digestion can effectively manage organic waste, produce renewable energy, and mitigate greenhouse gases.
Cuando los procedimientos judiciales facilitan el abandono. Nuevas formas de Ghosting
Authors: Delucchi Gustavo A.
Published: April 2023

El ghosting (fantasmeo o desaparición) se estableció como una forma de terminación de relaciones breves y sin compromiso. Consiste simplemente en cortar todo tipo de comunicación y no dar señales de vida de forma abrupta. Por otro lado, los informes psicológicos en los tribunales de familia, habitualmente se limitan a transcribir los dichos de las partes entrevistadas, sin efectuar ningún otro acto profesional que no sea el mero relato. Esto, sumado al no seguimiento de los procedimientos de la ley, terminan facilitando el cese abrupto no de relaciones cortas, sino parejas de larga data, o hasta inclusive matrimonios, mediante exclusiones de hogares o imposición de perímetros de exclusión, con las innumerables consecuencias para la persona ghosteada y la familia. Se intenta advertir, sobre la necesidad de la realización de verdaderos informes periciales, que ayuden a los magistrados a mejorar la toma de decisiones, que no faciliten la finalización abrupta de relaciones familiares de larga data.

Dado su impacto multifactorial, generan modificaciones en el funcionamiento del polo sanitario, en la adaptación del sistema de salud, la economía de las naciones, en la toma de decisiones políticas, y estilos de vida. A nivel individual se vislumbran modificaciones en el comportamiento, emociones, pensamientos, y la calidad de vida en sus múltiples vertientes (física, psicológica, social, y ambiental). Materiales y método: Con un enfoque cuantitativo de diseño ex post facto transversal, y alcance exploratorio se indagaron los aspectos psicosociales y sociodemográficos relacionados a la adhesión de las políticas sanitarias y la búsqueda de apoyo en población adulta de la ciudad de Córdoba (20 a 60 años). Se encuestó a 704 personas a las cuales se les aplicó el cuestionario de estrés percibido (pss- 10), un cuestionario sociodemográfico, y un cuestionario realizado con  modalidad ad hoc. Resultados y conclusiones: La edad, el sexo, escolaridad, antecedentes de salud, antecedentes psiquiátrico/ psicológicos y tener familiares/ pareja perteneciente a grupo de riesgo; presentaron asociación respecto a la adherencia a la normativa político sanitaria; miedo a contagiarse; búsqueda de ayuda/apoyo; y estrés percibido. La presente investigación pretende ser un puntapié inicial para promover estudios locales que indaguen la adherencia a las normativas políticas sanitarias necesarias para sobrellevar la propagación de una enfermedad a nivel mundial con las menores reacciones adversas posibles.
Applying Resource Scarcity Theory to Franchising: The Effect of Industry Choice and Age on Franchise Success and Satisfaction
Authors: McDermott Martin J. , Butler David
Published: April 2023

This study investigates the impact of industry category and age on franchise business ownership and job satisfaction. The selection of industry choice and age of a franchise business owner could be explained through resource scarcity theory. The decision to become or not become an entrepreneur is based on access or possession of resources. In addition, resource scarcity might explain the type of industry chosen to pursue entrepreneurship. This quantitative study used a comparative research model to gauge whether industry category and age of the franchise business owner impact satisfaction on franchise ownership. Findings reported in this study indicated that, in contrast to previous research on non-franchisee entrepreneurs, age was not correlated to higher satisfaction in owning and operating a franchise. Moreover, significant differences in job satisfaction were identified across industries.

We define proactivity as taking initiative. Why is proactivity so important? It’s often harder to get started than to keep going on a task. And the closer you get to achieving a goal, the easier it gets. So you could argue that the hardest part of reaching a goal is getting started.
