процедури з наземного обслуговування. Ці фактори впливають на збільшення пасажиропотоку аеропортів. Якість наземного обслуговування має безпосередній вплив на рівень вибору пасажирами саме авіаційних перевезень. Варто відмітити, що ефективність питань забезпечення авіаційної безпеки залежить від рівня якості виконання та дотримання вимог з наземного обслуговування. Ефективність робіт з наземного обслуговування (підготовки повітряного судна до вильоту) суттєво залежить від наявних технологічних процесів та оперативної роботи авіаційної наземної техніки та обладнання аеропортів.
Наземне обслуговування здійснюється по двом основним принципам – це обслуговування службами аеропорту (обслуговування повітряних суден на пероні та під час стоянки) або хендлінговими компаніями. Протикригова обробка здійснюється як аеропортовими службами так і хендлінговими компаніями, які мають договори на організацію аеропортового та наземного обслуговування. Хендлінгові компанії, що надають послуги з наземного обслуговування в аеропортах, можуть бути незалежними, а також можуть належати авіакомпанії чи авіаційному перевізнику.
Протикригова обробка повітряних суден є важливим аспектом авіаційної безпеки та ефективності польотів, особливо в умовах холодного клімату та зимових погодних умов.
Сучасні протикригові розчини розроблено з врахуванням ефективності при низьких температурах та мінімізації впливу на навколишнє середовище за умови дотримання екологічних норм під час наземного обслуговування. Такі розчини можуть включати багатокомпонентні суміші, які дозволяють досягти кращого контролю над утворенням льоду на поверхні повітряного судна.
Дослідженню питань, що відносяться до наземного обслуговування повітряних суден присвячено ряд науково-практичних робіт з урахуванням всіх критеріїв задля зменшення чи унеможливлення ризиків, що передують неприйнятним наслідкам. Варто відмітити, що захист повітряного судна від утворення льоду – це питання авіаційної безпеки. Протикригова обробка повітряних суден є важливим та критичним елементом для забезпечення безпеки здійснення польоту повітряного судна.
Сучасні системи протикригової обробки поділяються на: повітряно-теплові, механічні, фізико-хімічні та комбіновані. Вибір системи протикригової обробки залежить від умов експлуатації повітряного судна та кліматичних умов місцевості, де розташовано аеропорт.

У деяких випадках при використанні мобільних радіоцентрів для забезпечення зв’язку, передачі інформації, оперативного керування специфічними видами діяльності, виникають труднощі з розгортанням антенних систем. Особливо це критично важливе, коли радіоцентр приходиться часто переносити з однієї локації до іншої і якщо радіоцентр обслуговує декілька зон на різних частотних каналах. При значних радіусах зон обслуговування труднощі зростають, оскільки антенні пристрої необхідно підіймати на певну висоту над земною поверхнею. Використовуючи живлення декількох антен одним фідером, можна зменшити час розгортання антенних пристроїв та кількість щогл, що дозволить більш раціонально використати виділену територію під радіоцентр, зменшити вартість антенних споруд і спростити умови перебазування радіоцентру, полегшити вибір місця установок щогл і т. ін. Враховуючи важливість живлення декількох антен за допомогою однієї радіочастотної лінії і значимість тих наслідків, які виникають при застосуванні фідера, побудованого на одній лінії передачі, в даній статті було окреслено проблеми і шляхи їх вирішення, які пов'язані із функціонуванням багатоканального пристрою живлення систем випромінювання. Згідно з наведеними зауваженнями, фідер у своєму складі повинен мати як мінімум лінійний пасивний безвтратний восьмиполюсник (три входи і один вихід) для об'єднання кількох незалежних потоків електромагнітної енергії, що генерується передавачами, радіочастотну лінію передачі для транспортування електромагнітної енергії та другого восьмиполюсника (один вхід і три виходи) для виокремлення потоків енергії та підведення їх до входів антенних пристроїв. Оскільки основною ідентифікаційною ознакою кожного потоку енергії є частота коливань, то такі восьмиполюсники доцільно будувати на основі смуго-пропускних фільтрів. Для того, щоб фідерний пристрій функціонував у стабільному режимі, в даній роботі визначено основні параметри фільтрів, які дали б можливість спроектувати і виготовити самі фільтри та аналітично обґрунтувати вибір точок приєднання фільтрів до лінії передачі.

About the Effectiveness of Several Dissimilarity Estimators used in Damage Assessment
Authors: Iancu Vasile , Gillich Gilbert-Rainer , Chioncel Cristian Paul
Published: October 2024

This paper introduces a robust method for vibration-based damage assessment, which is based on a mathematical relation contrived by the authors that involves the frequency shifts, the damage size and position. Databases containing damage indicators for all possible damage scenarios, for three types of beams, were developed by involving this mathematical relation. The proposed damage indicator is expressed using the relative frequency shifts. The damage location and severity can be assessed if the relative frequency shifts are derived from measurements at the initial state and periodically afterwards. The paper investigates the effectiveness of several dissimilarity estimators, to find damage involving frequencies measured without and in the presence of noise.

Published: October 2024

This paper presents the results of an extensive research of partially crystalline Zr77Ni23 metallic glass (indicated numbers refer to atomic percentages). The partially crystalline Zr77Ni23 samples were prepared by melt-spinning using a device constructed in the Metal Physics Laboratory, Faculty of Science in Sarajevo. XRD pattern shows crystalline peaks which correspond to an orthorhombic structure of Zr3Ni superimposed on an amorphous pattern. Homogeneity and chemical composition were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Crystallization was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC analysis indicated a simple thermally activated process. Overall activation energy of the crystallization was calculated using Kissinger's model for nonisothermal process and compared with those given by the Augis-Bennett model. By monitoring of the electrical resistance in the temperature range 80 – 270 K a small and negative thermal coefficient of electrical resistance was observed. This means that electrical resistance varies slightly with temperature and it makes this metallic glass suitable for application in electronic circuits for which this property is an important requirement.

Authors: Morale Bhagwan , Dixit Jagannath , Kendre Varsharani , Tambe Muralidhar , Kumar Vinay
Published: October 2024

Background: The environment in which today’s adolescents are growing has changed drastically and affected their access to internet as well. The study was conducted with the aim of estimating the prevalence of internet use and pattern of internet use among adolescents of a village area.
Methods: About 114 adolescents of a village in Western Maharashtra belonging to age group 15-18 years participated in the study. They were selected based on the inclusion criteria of age group and willingness to participate in the study via universal sampling method and were interviewed with the help of semi-structured questionnaire, which included questions regarding socio-demography, internet use and its interrelationship with other variables. Chi-square test was used as a test of statistical significance to study the association between the predictor variable and the outcome with (p<0.05) as a level of significance.
Results: The prevalence of internet use was 99.12%. Where 74% of adolescents used internet for an average of 1-2 hours in a day and 26% used internet for an about 2-4 hours in a day. Taking p < 0.05 as a level of significance we found gender was significantly associated with duration of internet use (p = 0.01) and Purpose of internet use (p = 0.004).
Conclusion: Almost all adolescents have access to internet and are more inclined towards its use for non-educational purpose which can be detrimental for their educational progress and long-term career goals. Hence, monitoring of internet use by adolescents has to be done by guardians/teachers. Further studies should be conducted on cause-effect relationship to study the either way of association.

Dylematy tolerancji w sztuce współczesnej
Authors: Sztabiński Grzegorz
Published: October 2024

Autor artykułu rozróżnia „tolerancję wobec sztuki” i „tolerancję w sztuce”. Pierwsze zagadnienie dotyczy niewystępowania indywidualnej lub zbiorowej ingerencji w sprawy twórczości i rozpowszechniania jej rezultatów. Drugie odnosi się do rezygnacji z represyjności w toku kształcenia, uprawiania działalności artystycznej oraz recepcji wykonanych dzieł. O ile akceptację tolerancji rozumianej w pierwszym znaczeniu można uznać dziś za oczywistą, o tyle w drugim przypadku pojawiają się trudne wybory. Przykładem może być dwudziestowieczna awangarda, z jednej strony walcząca o wolność dla sztuki, z drugiej zaś nakładająca na sztukę i jej funkcjonowanie różnorodne restrykcje. Współczesną sytuację artystyczną cechuje demokracja i pluralizm. Jednak również ten stan nie jest wolny od dylematów. Niektóre z nich zostały szerzej przedstawione na przykładzie koncepcji sztuki partycypacyjnej Granta Kestera, Nicolasa Bourriauda i Claire Bishop. O ile dwóch pierwszych autorów uważa, że partycypacja uczestników wydarzeń artystycznych powinna być oparta na dialogu i tworzeniu sytuacji zmierzających do porozumienia, o tyle Bishop sądzi, że podstawą prawdziwej demokracji jest antagonizm i dlatego zakłada ścieranie się w sztuce przeciwstawnych poglądów.
O granicach i ich przesuwaniu w przestrzeniach sztuki współczesnej
Authors: Pankowska Krystyna
Published: October 2024

Od dawna artyści przesuwali estetyczne i etyczne granice, dzięki czemu wyprzedzali swoje epoki i stanowili ich czuły sejsmograf. Skoro sztuka jest wyrazem swoich czasów, nasuwa się pytanie, co i jak wyraża sztuka współczesna, która często w sposób kontrowersyjny i gwałtowny przesuwa i rozszerza swoje granice. Zjawisko destabilizacji granic (etycznych, estetycznych) zadekretował postmodernizm, którego najkrótsza definicja brzmi: wszystko wolno. Metodologiczna poprawność postmodernizmu zakładała bowiem, że nie można stawiać granic, nie można niczego hierarchizować, ustawiać na skali niższości i wyższości. Celem niniejszego tekstu jest ukazanie na wybranych przykładach wykraczania artystów poza społecznie przyjęte ramy twórczości, w tym dotyczące podejmowania nieobecnych dotąd tematów czy korzystania z nowych materii i środków wyrazu w konstruowaniu artystycznych wypowiedzi. Tekst jest próbą ukazania przemian w sztuce jako zjawiska wynikającego z przemian w innych wymiarach naszej rzeczywistości, wyzwolonych z wcześniejszych społecznie przyjętych norm i estetycznych okowów.
Tabu w sztuce. Refleksje pedagogiczne
Authors: Kwiatkowska-Tybulewicz Barbara
Published: October 2024

W artykule podjęto zagadnienie przełamywania tabu w sztuce. Wychodząc od samego pojęcia tabu i zmienności jego rozumienia, ukazano projekty artystyczne, w których artyści dokonali prób złamania tabu. Opierając się na analizie obszarów podlegających tabu w XXI wieku Anny Dąbrowskiej, autorka artykułu omawia projekty artystyczne, które wpisują się w wyszczególnione przez Dąbrowską trzy grupy tabu w XXI wieku: to, co przestaje współcześnie być tabu, to, co nadal jest tabu oraz nowe tabuizowane tematy i zachowania. Autorka zadaje pytanie o obecność sztuki dotykającej zakazów społecznych w edukacji estetycznej. Sięgając po pojęcia naczelnego i pomniejszego, wprowadzonych przez Deleuze’a i Guattariego, wskazuje na edukację estetyczną normatywną i mutacyjną.
Graffiti i street art – od „teorii rozbitych szyb” do aukcji w domu Sotheby’s
Authors: Gralińska-Toborek Agnieszka
Published: October 2024

Street art jest dziś jednym z najbardziej atrakcyjnych zjawisk w sztuce współczesnej. Co ciekawe, w dużej mierze wywodzi się on z nielegalnej twórczości graffiti, która przez długi czas uważana za wandalizm, nie była tolerowana przez władze a także ogromną część społeczeństwa. Historia graffiti jest świetnym przykładem zjawiska przesuwania granic tolerancji wśród odbiorców sztuki jak i wewnątrz samego zjawiska, które początkowo miało być wyrazem niezależności i buntu. W niniejszym artykule chciałabym prześledzić ów proces na kilku równoczesnych płaszczyznach: społecznej, artystycznej, instytucjonalnej i edukacyjnej, za każdym razem pokazując zmianę idącą w kierunku od negacji ku akceptacji, a nawet afirmacji.
Łamanie tabu a ideologiczny obraz dzieciństwa we współczesnej książce adresowanej do dziecka
Authors: Sieczych-Kukawska Aleksandra
Published: October 2024

Autorka przedstawia książkę jako medium kulturowe, dzięki któremu dziecko zyskuje dostęp do zasobów wiedzy i systemu szerzonych wartości. Książka adresowana do dziecka stale i konsekwentnie wpisuje się w obraz swoich czasów, stanowiąc ważny nośnik idei i ideologii, stając się tym samym narzędziem poznania, a sfera czytelnicza częścią propagowanej kultury. Autorka w tekście odnosi się do dyskursów ideologii dzieciństwa zaproponowanych przez A. Męczkowską-Christiansen i poszukuje egzemplifikacji wymienionych wizji dzieciństwa we współczesnej literaturze dziecięcej. Rozważania skoncentrowane są na dyskursie politycznej i estetycznej potencjalności, w którym w zgodzie z liberalnym podejściem udziela się dziecku pełnego prawa do obecności w sferze publicznej, wyrażania przy tym własnych myśli, uczuć i wątpliwości. Autorka poszukuje przy tym tematów, które przekraczają granice i przestrzenie dotąd tabuizowane, odnosi się także do tych, które pozostają obszarami przemilczanymi, tak w literaturze dziecięcej, jak w szeroko pojętej kulturze polskiej.
Effect of Social Isolation on Behavioural Response of Murrah Buffalo Calves Towards Novelty
Authors: Rath Rajashree , Singh Pawan , Kamboj M.L. , Tewari Himani , Adhikary Sudip
Published: October 2024

Background: During the production cycle, dairy animals in intensive production systems are exposed to various challenging events including novel stimuli (e.g., handlers, food and group-mates). The welfare of an individual animal depends on the ability to cope with environmental challenges. Novelty is generally associated with negative emotions however; individual behavioural and physiological responses toward challenging events can be very variable. So, studying behavioural response of calves towards novelty can help us address the welfare needs of the buffalo calves in a holistic manner. Methods: For this study, 24 Murrah buffalo calves were selected at birth and randomly allotted to four groups (six calves each) comprising of SG group (restricted suckling and group housed), SI group (restricted suckling and individually housed), WG group (weaned at birth and group housed) and WI group (weaned at birth and individually housed) for a period of three months. All calves were trained with bottle feeding from day old of age. At 9th week of age, the behavioural response of the calves to novelty was tested in two different novel situations i.e. novel object test and social novelty test using CCTV camera. Result: The results suggest that buffalo calves separated from mother and housed individually showed increased behavioural responses characterized by increased time in decision making, higher standing idle time and more fearful to an unfamiliar calf compared to other groups. It can be concluded that social isolation of the buffalo calves increases fearfulness to novelty hence reducing their welfare in future.

Published: October 2024

Background: In order to explore the differential expression of circular RNA (circRNA) in the subcutaneous fat tissue of Qinghai yaks under different feeding methods during the dry grass period and its regulatory mechanism. Methods: The present study adopted Illumina sequencing technology to sequence the transcriptome of subcutaneous fat tissue of Qinghai yaks naturally grazed and fattened by housed feeding during the dry grass period and used bioinformatics software to screen out the differentially expressed. The circRNAs were screened for differential expression using bioinformatics software. circRNAs related to fat metabolism were screened by GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of their source genes and three differentially expressed circRNAs were randomly screened and the expression of the circRNAs was verified by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). Result: Transcriptome sequencing results showed that a total of 628 differentially expressed circRNAs were obtained, of which 219 were up-regulated and 409 were down-regulated. GO functional enrichment analysis showed that the circRNAs in the free-grazing group originated from genes for major molecular constructs, cellular parts, organs, bioregulation and cellular processes, etc. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the circRNAs could be participate in signaling pathways such as phagosomes, protein digestion and absorption. qRT-PCR results showed that the expression levels of the three circRNAs were consistent with the sequencing results and the sequencing results were accurate and reliable. This experiment provides a molecular basis for further understanding of fat metabolism in yaks.

Authors: Marbun Bachtiar , Santoso Budi , Yunanto Yunanto
Published: October 2024

The enforcement of mortgage rights plays a pivotal role in ensuring economic stability and protecting citizens' financial interests. Within the broader context of economic governance, the banking sector acts as a fundamental pillar, driving economic growth and safeguarding financial certainty. This study examines the regulatory framework governing the enforcement of mortgage rights in Indonesia, emphasizing its impact on financial security and the reduction of Non-Performing Loans (NPL). Through a normative juridical approach, this research analyzes the existing legal provisions in Indonesia and explores avenues for enhancing the mortgage enforcement process. In addition to legal analysis, philosophical discourse is employed to understand the practical challenges in enforcing mortgage rights. A comparative approach focuses on the Indian legal system, where mortgage rights can be executed without court intervention. India’s approach has effectively reduced Non-Performing Assets (NPA), offering valuable insights into Indonesia’s legal reform efforts. The study suggests adopting a comparable framework in Indonesia could streamline mortgage enforcement procedures, reduce litigation, and enhance financial stability. This research aims to contribute to Indonesia’s broader economic management and governance strategies by proposing legal reforms and promoting a more efficient, competitive, financial security, and equitable financial system.KEYWORDS: Legal Reform, Banking, Morgage Rights, Indonesia, India.
MODERNİZM VE POSTMODERNİZM İKİLEMİNDE KÜLTÜR VE KİMLİK OLGUSU
Authors: Yıldırım Serpil
Published: October 2024

Bu makalede kültür ve kimlik kavramlarının, modernizm ve postmodernizm süreçleri çerçevesinde yaşadığı dönüşümler incelenmiştir. Kültür ve kimlik kavramlarını içinde barındıran bu olgular belli bir toplumsal sürecin ürünüdür. Bu süreç, kaçınılmaz olarak bir ilişki ağını gerektirmekte ve bünyesinde yaşanan her türlü değişimden etkilenmektedir. Sanayi Devrimiyle başlayıp özellikle 20. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde kitle iletişim araçlarının da yaygınlaşmasıyla hızlanan bu süreç, toplumsal hayatta ve gündelik yaşamda önemli dönüşümlerin yaşanmasına neden olmuştur. Bu dönemde sınır tanımayan bilgi ve hızla ilerleyen teknolojik gelişmeler bu dönüşümün başlıca nedenini oluşturmuştur. Bu hızlı dönüşüme bağlı olarak toplumsal yapı da hızla değişmeye başlamış ve toplunun temel yapı taşı olan kültür ve kimlik olguları da bu dönüşümden etkilenmiştir. Küreselleşme ise bu dönemde kültür ve kimlik kavramlarını dönüştürerek onun sınırlar ötesi bir görünüm kazanmasına neden olmuştur. İşte modernizm ve postmodernizm süreçleri toplumsal yapıdaki bu dönüşümün bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Birbiriyle karşılıklı ilişkilerinde diyalektik olarak gelişen bu kavramlar bir yandan birbirinin zıtlıkları üzerine inşa edilirken, bir yandan da birbirini bütünleyen ve dolayısıyla birbirini besleyen yapılar olarak hayat bulmaktadırlar. Bu çerçevede yapısalcılığı savunan modernizmde bilimsel bilgi, eşitlik, homojen yapılar, evrensellik, genellik gibi ilkeler hâkim iken; postyapısalcılığı savunan postmodernizmde ise modernizmin savunduğu değerlerin aksine heterojen, çoklu, tikel ve göreceli değerler hâkimdir. Bu bağlamda her iki paradigma da çalışmamızın konusu olan kültür ve kimlik kavramlarını kendi savunduğu değerler çerçevesinde yorumlamaktadır. Çalışmamızda kültür ve kimlik kavramlarının dönüşümü de bu dinamikler üzerinden incelenmeye çalışılmıştır.
TOPLUMSAL DÜZEN KAVRAYIŞININ DÖNÜŞÜMÜ VE İNGİLTERE'DE ÖNLEYİCİ POLİSLİĞİN DOĞUŞU
Authors: Özel Abdullah Enes
Published: October 2024

Sanayi Devrimi, kapitalist bir emek piyasası yaratma çabaları ve bu çabaların toplumsal etkileri -o dönemin (hızlı demografik, kentsel ve toplumsal değişimler gibi) tüm çalkantılarıyla birlikte - 18. yüzyıldan itibaren düzenin nasıl yaratılıp sürdürülebileceği ve bu düzene yönelik tehditlerin nasıl ortadan kaldırılabileceğine dair sürekli bir sorgulamaya zemin hazırlamıştır. Söz konusu dönemde toplumsal düzen fikri önemli bir dönüşüm geçirmiş, emek piyasası düzenin gerçekleştiği ana mecra olarak öne çıkmış, yoksulluğun bu düzen içindeki işlevi yeniden tanımlanmış ve nihayetinde bu düzene yönelik tehditler yeniden kategorize edilmiştir. Suç önleme ve önleyici polis hakkındaki tartışmalar da bu sorgulamanın ana unsurlarından biri haline dönüşmüştür. Bu tartışmalar içinde önleyici polis, diğer sosyal politika önlemleri ve kurumlarıyla birlikte, bu tehditleri izale etmenin ve toplumsal düzeni sağlamanın temel araçlarından biri olarak önerilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu tartışmaları takip etmek, önleyici polisliğin başlangıçta yalnızca bireysel suçları önlemek için değil, kendi içinde düzen üreten bir mekanizma olarak görülen emek piyasasını tamamlamak için tasarlandığını göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda, önleyici polislik söylemi yoksulluk, fakirlik ve tehlikeli sınıflar hakkındaki tartışmalarla derinden iç içe geçmiştir. Bu makalenin temel amacı, bu tartışmaları takip ederek önleyici polisliğin tarihsel-toplumsal çerçevesini hem teorik hem de pratik yönleriyle inşa etmek ve günümüz anlamıyla önleyici polisliğin ortaya çıkışının ancak toplumsal düzen fikrine ilişkin bu dönüşümler bağlamında anlaşılabileceğini göstermektir.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor and tyrosine kinase inhibitor combinations have become the new standard of care in the first-line treatment of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. However, there is a growing concern regarding severe immune-related adverse events. A 78-year-old man with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma, treated with pembrolizumab and axitinib, was admitted to the emergency department 30 days after initiating treatment due to rapidly progressive myositis. Myocarditis with severe ventricular dysfunction was identified. Muscular biopsy findings were compatible with inflammatory myopathy associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Initial treatment with high-dose corticosteroids showed an insufficient response. Therapeutic escalation on the third day with methylprednisolone, immunoglobulin, and abatacept resulted in clinical improvement. On the eleventh day, a sudden malignant arrhythmia occurred, followed by cardiac arrest. This represents one of the first case reports describing myocarditis and myositis during treatment with pembrolizumab-axitinib. While immune checkpoint inhibitor may play a major role, it is also possible that the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, while attempting to promote immune modulation, also increases severe toxicities.

A journal publishing house grows by maintaining and increasing the level of production of journals over the years. As a result, a non-decreasing trend becomes worrisome, because it may mean some likelihood of decline in journal publications. A declining trend warrants an investigation into this aspect, and possible intervention methods for a turnaround to increase journal publications. A respected publishing house in South Africa showed declining trends in its annual yield of various of its journals. The aim of the study was to measure the journal productivity of various journals in a specified publishing house with specific objectives being to determine the level of production over the years; to compare the level of production for the various journals; and to identify the most produced and the least produced journals. A categorical multivariate time series analysis-based study design was conducted. A trend of published articles in a South African oral health-based journal publishing house was investigated for 11-years from 2008 to 2018 in which 197 journals were used. The journals were under the subfields of direct restorative dentistry (DRD), direct restorative materials (DRM), endodontics and paedodontics. Publications of the paedodontics and direct restorative dentistry and materials journals showed a decline over the years, to their extinction. There was no journal on indirect restorative materials, which is a field related to other restorative journals. Merging these could enhance the popularity of a new one. Then, the constantly low endodontics may be augmented by increasing the journal scope.
Analyzing supply-side moral hazard behaviors in Botswana's health care market: A qualitative study
Authors: Jambani Lawrence
Published: October 2024

This paper aims to analyse the behaviours and practices of health care service providers that constitute supply-side abuse of the medical health insurance schemes premised on the notion that patients visit doctors precisely to learn what amount and type of care is medically necessary. Using qualitative methods, individual in-depth interviews were carried on private health service practitioners and thematic analysis via SPSS. The study identifies systemic abuses like overcharging, billing for services not provided, and over prescription. Implication of these findings show that Fee-for-Service Payment Models incentivize providers to deliver more services, leading to potential over-utilization and increased costs in Botswana’s healthcare; due to information asymmetry providers may prioritize quantity over quality of care exploiting patients’ lack of knowledge to recommend unnecessary tests or treatments to maximize on revenue but also costs. On how to minimize supply side moral hazards, the propositions is for pursuance of cost containment strategies to ensure the smooth operation of the schemes like price listings, educate beneficiaries on cost implications and sustainability threats. These propositions can be instituted through an industry led bench-marking, on nationally through regulatory frameworks since moral hazards are an economic cost as inefficiencies brings mis-allocation of resources to enhance the sustainability of medical aid-based health care provisioning.
The national credit act and macroeconomic variables in the context of over-indebtedness in South Africa
Authors: Keyser Nico , Duvenhage Cecile , Abdulla Mohamed
Published: October 2024

This article reports on a study aimed at measuring and characterising consumer over-indebtedness in South Africa, despite the existence of financial regulatory measures and legislation. The study employed quantitative analysis to examine the impact of macroeconomic variables on consumer over-indebtedness. The primary conclusion of the study indicated that the debt-to-disposable-income ratio decreased following the enactment of the National Credit Act; nevertheless, the alterations in debt levels cannot be solely ascribed to the enforcement of regulations and legislation. The study findings indicate that over-indebtedness correlates positively with gross domestic product, consumer expenditure, unemployment, and the debt-to-income ratio, while exhibiting a negative correlation with the interest rate.
Exploring the market resilience of selected stocks in the Johannesburg Stock Exchange
Authors: Enow Samuel Tabot
Published: October 2024

The market resilience of a stock is an integral component of financial market because it supports smooth trading and absorb market shocks. However, the contention has always been to effectively determine the level of resilience in stocks with the application of proper methodology to make informed decisions. Therefore, aim of this study was to examine the level of market resilience in selected stocks in the Johannesburg stock exchange. Using a fixed effect model, the findings of this study indicates that most securities trading on the exchange lack market resilience. This was evident in the significant relationship between the specific independent and dependent variables. A risk coefficient should therefore be assigned to bid and ask to spread to enhance market resilience. These risk coefficients will induce the bid and ask prices to be close to the fundamental price.

Challenges faced by school mangers in implementing national school nutrition programme in the Harry Gwala District, KwaZulu-Natal
Authors: Zulu Xolani Wycliff
Published: October 2024

The purpose of the study was to explore challenges experienced by school mangers in their role to implement the national school nutrition programme in schools of the Harry Gwala District, in KwaZulu-Natal. This article is extracted from a Ph.D. thesis in which a qualitative research design was used with sample of school managers who participate in the school nutrition programme. Data was gathered through individual interviews and document analysis. The findings indicated that school managers experienced challenges in the implementation of the programme such as compliance of Service Providers with delivery regulation, delayed payments of Service Providers, insufficient and poor food stuff supplied by Service Providers. However, on the other hand, nutrition programme benefited learners from poor background, reduced learner absenteeism and increased school enrolment. This posed a challenge to school managers as indicated in Maslow’s theory in the hierarchy of needs that provision should be made for meals at schools if they do not receive an adequate nutrition at home. On the basis of the findings, the following challenges were faced by school management: poor infrastructural development, insufficient time allocated to feeding, communication breakdown between NSNP educators and Service Providers, none payment of Service Providers on time.

Published: October 2024

This study is aims to assess the extent to which small enterprises engage in service dominant logic practices. In this study, data was quantitatively collected from 144 service providers of the game and nature reserves in Mpumalanga. The findings revealed a strong positive relationship between the effectiveness of using ICT and the extent to which small enterprises engage in service dominant logic practices. These findings suggest that the use of ICT technologies has a positive effect on the extent to which small businesses engage in service dominant logic practices. The limitation is that this current study is only limited to the tourism industry, in that sense it cannot be generalized to other industries.This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by assessing the extent to which small enterprises engage in service dominant logic practices. Through the co-creation of value, these small businesses can be sustained. Collaborative relationships between small businesses and dominant firms can enhance the small part that black entrepreneurs now play in the country's tourism industry.  By means of value co-creation, major corporations have the ability to offer small and medium-sized companies (SMMEs) both entrepreneurial experience and skill training

Authors: Oukouomi Noutchie Suares Clovis
Published: October 2024

Cancer remains a significant public health concern worldwide, necessitating ongoing efforts to understand its epidemiology and im- prove patient care. This cross-sectional epidemiological study, based on third-party statistics collected over a period of one and a half years (from October 2021 to March 2023), aimed to examine the sociodemographic characteristics and clinical profiles of cancer patients in the Littoral Region of Cameroon. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires, with strict adherence to ethical considerations. The study included 307 cancer patients.Key findings indicate a predominance of breast cancer, a significant proportion of patients aged 41-50 years, and a majority diagnosed at stage 4 of the disease. These results highlight the urgent need for early detection and targeted interventions in cancer care. Furthermore, the research explores factors contributing to the high rate of late-stage cancer diagnoses, such as lack of awareness, insufficient diagnostic facilities, and economic barriers that prevent many patients from seeking timely medical help. Based on these findings, the study recommends the development of comprehensive cancer management strategies, including enhancing public health education, improving diagnostic and treatment capacities, and implementing policy reforms aimed at making healthcare more accessible and affordable. Such measures are essential for reducing the burden of cancer in Cameroon and improving the overall health outcomes for its population.
