Published: June 2024

The World Health Organization has classified Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a 'Priority One and Critical Pathogen' for which research and design of new antibiotics are urgently needed due to its high rate of antimicrobial resistance. Phage therapy, which uses bacteriophages (phages), has been proposed as an antibacterial agent and shows potential for combating this issue. This study aimed to isolate and characterise bacteriophages from different environmental samples that act specifically against P. aeruginosa. The phages were tested to determine their ability to lyse P. aeruginosa using a spot test. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to determine the structure, size and phage family, while specificity and sensitivity tests were conducted using six different bacterial species and 20 clinical multi-drug resistant P. aeruginosa isolates, respectively. Phage PA1 was isolated from Batu Pahat, Johor and using a spot test, PA1 could form clear plaques against P. aeruginosa. PA1 was present in a high titer of 1.06 (± 32.2) x 1010 PFUs/ml. Based on TEM analysis, PA1 was classified as a member of the Myoviridae family. Host-range analysis displayed that PA1 had 100% specificity towards P. aeruginosa and only 45% sensitivity towards different P. aeruginosa clinical isolates. Phage PA1 demonstrated lysis of P. aeruginosa but exhibited a narrow host range, presenting a challenge for phage therapy. A promising approach to overcome this limitation involves using phage cocktails containing multiple strains of phages to broaden the host range and enhance the overall efficacy of phage therapy.

ECONOMIC MECHANISMS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SYSTEMS
Authors: Kostiuk Yurii
Published: June 2024

The article proposes the definition and substantiation of economic mechanisms for the development of urban transport and logistics systems that are appropriate in Ukraine, acceptable and implemented for use within "smart" cities on the basis of sustainability, reliability and safety, based on certain signs and principles of understanding sustainable transport and logistics systems that should be built on: understanding the use of means of transport with a low level of impact on the environment, include both the industrial component of the system and public and private traffic, transport-oriented development, ecological means of transport, car sharing, as well as construction and/ or the protection of urban transport and logistics systems that are energy efficient, take into account measures to save space and promote a healthy lifestyle. The proposed approaches provide for obtaining an economic effect by creating a greater added value from each unit of used resource compared to traditional methods and linear business models. Such economic incentives should contribute to the market demand for energy-efficient vehicles in two ways: - through the gravity effect, by increasing the demand for such environmentally attractive vehicles from consumers, users and the population of the urban agglomeration; - due to the "push-out" effect, which increases the attractiveness of new vehicle developments for manufacturers. These methods can be most effective when combined. In the first case, when the demand for vehicles that will meet the established criteria of ecological efficiency increases, in the second case, in the case of creating a critical market mass with sufficient leverage to justify specific developments and/or equipment on the part of manufacturers, where the development and implementation of environmentally friendly and of energy-efficient vehicles is considered as one of the tools for reducing the impact of transport and logistics systems on the environment of "smart" cities that strive to increase innovation and obtain competitive advantages.

Published: June 2024

The relevance of the scientific study of the essence and importance of strategic management in conditions of risk and uncertainty is due to the challenges of the times, characterized by crisis conditions in many areas of economic activity and life support, as well as the growth of competitive conditions for various segments of the business environment.
The research methodology is based on the principles of science and systematicity. To analyze the essential features of strategic management and to study the significance of applying modern innovative approaches to analyze and monitor certain changes under conditions of risk and uncertainty, the author uses the methods of comparative analysis, analytical and synthetic, statistical, abstract and logical.
Although, at first glance, the results of scientific research on a wide range of scientific issues related to strategic management have been published, the requirements of the times require further research not only in general, but also taking into account the specifics of various sectors of the economy, in particular in conditions of uncertainty, the crisis in the Ukrainian economy, etc. To reveal the essence and significance of strategic management in the context of risk and uncertainty in the business environment, the author presents in more detail the characteristics of the main criteria and levers of influence on the formation of the basic foundations of strategic management.
The advantages and disadvantages characterizing the peculiarities of the activities of enterprises in various sectors of the economy are determined, taking into account modern levers of influence. The author proves the special importance of taking into account external and internal factors that have an impact or may, under certain circumstances, affect the activities of enterprises both in conditions of stable development and taking into account conditions of risk and uncertainty. The study provides grounds to summarize the existing experience of enterprises of various forms and types of business and to assert the importance of planning their activities not only for short and medium-term periods in a competitive environment, but also to think strategically, anticipating and overcoming crisis situations and conditions of uncertainty, directing their efforts towards sustainable (balanced) development.

Authors: Minchuk V. S. , Perhunova A. Y. , Fedorinchik M. P. , Dezhkunov N. V.
Published: June 2024

The results of testing the spectral-acoustic cavitometer with measurement modes that differ in the frequency ranges of integration of cavitation noise are presented. For each of the H1–H4 modes, the lower integration frequency  fmin is 1, 70, 180 and 300 kHz, respectively. The upper frequency is the same for all modes and  is   fmax  =  10  MHz. Piezoelectric waveguide sensors were used as a cavitation noise receivers. The distributions of cavitation activity in non-uniform ultrasonic fields were recorded: in the volume of the ultrasonic bath  (f0 = 35 kHz) and in the field of the submersible emitter (f0 = 21 kHz). The frequency range of integration was varied by changing the lower bound. It has been established that a change in the integration range within a fairly wide range does not have a noticeable qualitative effect on the result of measurements of cavitation activity, only a multiple change in the readings occurs. This conclusion was confirmed using sensors that differ in their spectral characteristics.
Gyro-TWT Frequency Multiplier
Authors: Kolosov S. V. , Shatilova O. O.
Published: June 2024

Gyrotron-type amplifiers are being developed for various applications requiring high power in the millimeter wavelength range. Calculations of the optimal designs of gyrotron traveling wave tubes (gyro-TWTs), presented in the article, were carried out using the Gyro-K computer program using a coordinate transformation technique, which made it possible to significantly reduce the calculation time of gyroresonance devices by reducing the three-dimensional problem of excitation of an irregular waveguide to a one-dimensional one. Two options for creating a gyro-TWT using the TE02 wave mode are considered: the first one is operating at the first harmonic of   the gyrofrequency, the second is a frequency multiplier. The achievable characteristics of devices in the terahertz frequency range are presented, such as gain bands, efficiency, gain factors and distributions of high-frequency fields in longitudinal and transverse sections. The gyro-TWT frequency multiplier has a gain bandwidth of  7.2 %, an efficiency of 17 %, and a gain of 30 dB.

Authors: Krasnoproshin D. V. , Vashkevich M. I.
Published: June 2024

The problem of recognizing emotions in a speech signal using mel-frequency cepstral coefficients using a classifier based on the support vector machine has been studied. The RAVDESS data set was used in the experiments. A model is proposed that uses a 306-component suprasegmental feature vector as input to a support vector machine classifier. Model quality was assessed using unweighted average recall (UAR). The use of linear, polynomial and radial basis functions as a kernel in a classifier based on the support vector machine is considered. The  use of different signal analysis frame sizes (from 23 to 341 ms) at the stage of extracting mel-frequency cepstral coefficients was investigated. The research results revealed significant accuracy of the resulting model (UAR = 48 %). The proposed approach shows potential for applications such as voice assistants, virtual agents, and mental health diagnostics.

Authors: Ma Tzu-Chun , Lin Chia-Hua , Hsu Shu-Ni
Published: June 2024

Owing to the proactive implementation of the New Southbound Policy, the proportion of Southeast Asian students studying in Taiwan is steadily increasing. They exhibit variations in perceptions, communication, and cultural backgrounds in learning. These differences often lead to confusion and challenges during the coursework. In this study, we integrate narrative strategies into poster design education, where professors teach students textual contexts to identify and solve problems, and ultimately integrate design knowledge and skills. We investigated the differences in the student’s performance in poster design after the integration of narrative strategies and their reactions. Using a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with 40 Southeast Asian students, the 12-week experimental teaching was offered. Significant improvements in creativity, text composition, illustrations, layout, and color in poster design were observed after the period. The students could utilize transformation and metaphor as design techniques, demonstrating that integrating narrative strategies stimulated students’ imaginative capacities. Such a result indicates significant efficacy in enhancing the learning experiences of Southeast Asian students.

Authors: Digal Lopamudra , Mohanty Jayashree
Published: June 2024

Nanocellulose is considered as a sustainable and renewable nanomaterial due to its abundant availability, biodegradability and biocompatibility characteristics. The study demonstrates the synthesis of nanocellulose from defoliated leaves of the Tropical Almond (Terminalia catappa) plant, abundantly available residual plant biomass and its subsequent use in eliminating Cr(VI) from the water system. The study demonstrates the preparation of nanocellulose by chemical means, employing NaOH and H2SO4 as chemical agents. Characterization techniques like FTIR, SEM, and XRD were used to study the chemical composition and morphology of the resulting nanocellulose. The characterization studies confirm the formation of nanocellulose from the plant biomass. The Cr(VI) adsorption study of the produced nanocellulose is carried out through fitting different adsorption isotherm models and kinetic models. According to the study, Cr(VI) adsorption gradually increases as time period of treatment increases. A maximum adsorption of 98.4% is attained for time period of treatment of 75 min. Overall, the study proposes mixed types of adsorption (chemisorption and physisorption) of Cr(VI) on nanocellulose. This comprehensive research contributes in developing affordable, sustainable nanobiomass from plentiful bio-waste for use in the removal of heavy metals from water streams.

Published: June 2024

Betametazon, Deksametazon, Prednizolon ve Metilprednizolon büyükbaş hayvanlarda glukokortikoidlere duyarlı çeşitli akut ve kronik hastalıklarda yaygın olarak kullanılan sentetik glukokortikoidlerdir. Glukokortikoidler sütte kalıntı yapmaları sonucu insanlarda ciddi sağlık sorunlarına yol açabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada sütte glukokortikoidlerin belirlenmesine yönelik hassas metodun seçilebilmesi için sıvı-sıvı ekstraksiyon, katı faz ekstraksiyon ve dispersif katı faz ekstraksiyon metotları karşılaştırılmış ve en hassas metot seçilerek valide edilmiştir. Kromatografik ayırım, Agilent XDB-C18 kolonu (150 mm x 4,6 mm, 5µm ) ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hedef analitler Diyot Dizi Dedektörü (Diode Array Detector, DAD) ile bütünleşik Agilent 1100 serisi Yüksek Persformanslı Sıvı Kromatografi ( High Performance Liquid Chromatography, HPLC) ile tanımlanmıştır. Betametazon 0.12, 0.3, 0.45 μg/kg seviyesinde analit eklenmiş örneklerin geri alımı %97 ila % 102 arasında, deksametazon 0.12, 0.3, 0.45 μg/kg seviyesinde analit eklenmiş örneklerin geri alımı %97 ila % 102 arasında, metilprednizolon 0.2, 2, 3 μg/kg seviyesinde analit eklenmiş örneklerin geri alımı %94 ila % 100 arasında, prednizolon 0.6, 6, 9 μg/kg seviyesinde analit eklenmiş örneklerin geri alımı %97 ila % 99 arasında değişmiştir.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study focuses on establishing the effect of credit risk management on the profitability of the Centenary Bank Kabale Branch. Credit Risk Management was operationalized as credit risk identification, risk assessment, and risk control, while profitability was operationalized as Return on Equity, Return on Assets, and Non-Performing Loans.
Research methodology: The study population comprised of 140 respondents. A sample size of 103 respondents was obtained using the Krejcie and Morgan 1970 table for sample determination. This study adopted a mixed method approach.  Quantitative data were collected using Self-Administered Questionnaires and analyzed using Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using content analysis.
Results: The findings indicate that the majority of the respondents were male, aged 31–40 years, and bachelor’s degree holders. Risk identification (r=0.882), risk assessment (r=0.776), and risk controls (r=0.829) have a significant positive relationship with profitability at the central bank.
Limitations: The limitations include bias from the respondents and the study being conducted in only one branch, making generalization difficult.
Contribution:  These investigations have informed Centenary Bank managers of the importance of credit risk identification, risk assessment, and risk control. Managers should focus on mitigation measures to reduce risks, create a credit risk assessment team to evaluate risks, establish strategies, and prioritize risk management practices by implementing policies in place. The findings contribute to the literature on credit risk management in terms of the central bank.
Novelty: Previous similar research only studied how environmental accounting is implemented in a hospital and did not compare its implementation before, during, and after a pandemic.

An autoimmune rheumatic disease that produces widespread inflammation, affecting organs or systems in the body is known as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). In a previous study, data were obtained from the results of an analysis based on the Naranjo algorithm obtained were that most respondents fell into the Probable category (Most likely to occur ROM) as many as 14 respondents or 35%, followed by the Definite category (Definite ROM occurs) as many as 12 respondents or 30%. Then the Possible category (Possible ROM occurs) as many as 9 respondents or 22.5% and finally the No ES category as many as 5 respondents or 12.5%. The type of research used was quantitative research with experimental methods through a pretest-posttest control group design by taking a sample and then conducting a pretest first to find out which samples are classified namely interventions experiencing side effects, interventions with no side effects, controls experiencing side effects and controls with no side effects. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon analysis with a p value <0.05, it states that the calendar has an effect on reducing the incidence of side effects in patients. Mann Whitney test showing a p value of 0.000 smaller than 0.05, so it can be interpreted that there are significant differences in side effects in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in the intervention group and control group. The provision of functional calendar media is effective for reducing the incidence of side effects in taking Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) drugs.
Challenges Hampering Retirement Planning among Civil Servants in Kaduna State, Nigeria
Authors: Ibrahim Zom Hannatu
Published: June 2024

Retirement Plans (RP) mitigates hardship and frustration faced by would-be retirees. Ineffective retirement planning among Nigerian civil servants is one of the leading causes of severe hardship, frustration, and even premature death after retirement. Previous studies on pension issues have not paid adequate attention to RP. Voluntary Social Action and Exchange theories provided the framework, while cross-sectional survey design was adopted. Data were gathered using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Poor salary, inadequate financial knowledge, lack of entrepreneurial skills, and social burdens were challenges identified by civil servants in Kaduna state as hampering their RP. This study was therefore to investigate the challenges associated with retirement planning among civil servants in the Kaduna Metropolis
Justifying Punishment Theoretically: Between Conventional Capacity and Alternativity Test
Authors: William Idowu
Published: June 2024

Controversies abound in the fields of Political Theory, Political Philosophy and Political Science concerning the rightness or wrongness of punishment in political societies. The substance of these discussions and debates revolves around the issue of justification. To this end, the literature in these fields are replete with theories commonly tagged and termed as conventional or orthodox. The convictions in these conventional theories such as Retributivism, Deterrence and Incapacitation Theories are legion and legendary. Nevertheless, the strengths of these conventional theories are not strong enough to prevent the vitiation of the theoretical capacities encoded in them. With these lingering defects, Alternative Theories such as Expressivism, Communicativism and Contractarianism have been suggested. The strength of methodology in political theory has assisted in showing that, as much as the conventional theory are defective, in like manner, alternative theories have their defect. Based on these findings, this paper concluded that even though no theory in political philosophy is totally immune from defect, the Theory of Preservationism could be argued as an acceptable theoretical paradigm in justifying punishment. Preservationism is simple and straightforward in as much as it argues that punishment is theoretically justified as long as it preserves political society, an argument that is missing in the capacity of conventional theories as well as the test furnished in alternative theories.
The Influence of Higher Degrees on the Eradication of Domestic Violence
Authors: Ajede Salamat Atinuke
Published: June 2024

The study examined the links between educational acquisition by women and its attendant impact on domestic violence (DV) eradication. It focused on DV that happens within the family whose victims are mostly young girls who are forced into early marriages without economic means, adequate training and education. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of studies on the link between how the acquisition of formal educational knowledge and skills can help reduce\eradicate the menace of domestic violence among couples. The study locations were Ijebu Ode in Ogun State, Ikeja in Lagos State and Ibadan in Oyo State all in South/West, Nigeria. A mixed method was adopted. Simple random, purposively and stratified sampling techniques were jointly utilized to select respondents and participants for the study’s quantitative and qualitative components. Findings indicate that respondents who are educated reported little or no incidence of domestic violence with their spouses, unlike the less educated. Abuse of the concept of dowry and bride price was found to have led to the commodification of females in marriages underscored by domestic violence – devoid of human dignity. Results, therefore, point to education as a major variable for the prevention of domestic violence with particular reference to women. Results from the study corroborated existing literature that forced and early marriages in Asia and Africa including Nigeria remain a major factor associated with the high rate of domestic violence.
