A note on the cost of instability in whale management
Authors: Schwedeer Tore , Hagen Gro
Published: January 2023

The history of whaling has been characterised by considerable variation in management 'philosophy'. For example, an early period of overexploitation led eventually to the present period of protectionism and might be followed by a period of excessive catches. Is such instability in long-term management costly? The risk of depletion increases with increasing instability. If the net production function governing whale dynamics is essentially convex, it is demonstrated that long-term catches are necessarily smaller the greater the management instability. A simulation experiment is carried out to quantify the loss in whale catches due to •stop-go' instability in whale management. To examine possible costs in terms of fisheries for cod and herring, a multi-species simulation model is used, with minke whales managed by a stochastic stop-go procedure and with cod, herring and capelin managed by VPA-type procedures. In the simulations, whale catches are reduced by increased instability in whale management while long-term catches of cod and herring are unaffected, provided mean whale abundance is kept fixed.
Delphinids of southern Africa: A review of their distribution, status and life history
Authors: Peddemors V.M.
Published: January 2023

Eighteen species of delphinids have been recorded from Africa, south of l 7°S. This review includes analyses of the distribution and status, life history and feeding habits for each species, primarily using published data from strandings, incidentally caught animals and sightings. Although there is little known for most of the species distributed over the continental shelf, it appears that there is presently little human-induced threat to these. However, more research emphasis should in future be placed on possible detrimental interactions due to overfishing of delphinid prey stocks. Increased commercial fishing pressure will inevitably also increase interactions between the fishery and the affected delphinids. Only three inshore species are presently considered to be vulnerable: Heaviside's dolphins (Cephalorhynchus heavisidil), bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in KwaZulu-Natal and Namibia, and Inda-Pacific hump-backed dolphins (Sousa chinensis) in KwaZulu-Natal. Heaviside's dolphins are endemic and, although presently probably able to sustain mortalities following interactions with commercial fishing gear, may become negatively impacted should fishing activities increase. The bottlenose dolphin population in Namibia appears localised in its distribution and may therefore also be vulnerable to any future coastal development or commercial fishery expansions, while in KwaZulu-Natal they are subjected to ongoing incidental catches in shark nets, heavy pollution levels, habitat destruction and increased competition with fishermen for limited food resources. In KwaZulu-Natal, Inda-Pacific hump-backed dolphins are subjected to the same pressures as experienced by bottlenose dolphins, albeit more severely, while in Mozambique it is occasionally caught incidentally in gillnets or in a targeted fishery. Although generally considered an offshore species, southern right whale dolphins (Lissodelphis peronii) also appears to be extremely localised in distribution within southern Africa, and any future planned expansion of commercial driftnet fisheries off Namibia should be carefully monitored for incidental catches which may impact this population.
A note on the collection of associated behavioural data with biopsy samples during cetacean assessment cruises
Authors: L. Mesnick Sarah , Clapham Phillip , E. Dizon Andrew
Published: January 2023

Understanding the influence of social organisation on the distribution, abundance and genetic structure of cetacean populations is critical in developing better predictive models for management. Field data on cetacean social organisation are far more valuable when collected and analysed together with genetic data from biopsy samples and environmental information (e.g. oceanographic patterns, prey availability). Traditionally, however, studies of cetacean social behaviour and studies of cetacean population dynamics have been conducted independently (Tillman and Donovan, 1986). To integrate these fields, this paper recommends that multi-disciplinary cetacean assessment surveys collect biopsy and associated behavioural data for each sample taken (the minimum data being group size, number of animals biopsied and age class). Examples of sampling forms, outlining the desired information, are provided. Understanding of cetacean stock structure and the processes affecting stock differentiation will best come from a combined genetic, social, ecological and oceanographic approach.

Published: January 2023

Anorectal abscesses are one of the potentially debilitating diseases among them perianal abscess and ischiorectal abscess are common. Lateral spread of the ischiorectal abscess through the conjoint tendon leads to a horseshoe abscess. Surgical treatment is incision and drainage. Complications include sepsis, faecal incontinence, and fistula in ano. Kshara sutra is proved effective for fistula in ano, which helps in preventing recurrence. Here we report a case of ischiorectal abscess with horseshoe connection came with swelling and pain over the right perianal region. The condition was diagnosed as guda vidradi (perianal abscess) as per Ayurveda classics, and Bhedana karma is considered as primary treatment. Considering the recurrence and chronicity, kshara sutra ligation was planned after Bhedana karma. The case was completely cured with minimal follow-ups. Post-operative wounds healed with minimal scar formation. Adoption of the treatment has given successful results in the management of ischiorectal abscess with horseshoe connection

Published: January 2023

Sushrutacharya has described the 76 types of eye diseases in his classical text ‘Sushrut Samhita’. One Chapter of eye diseases known as Sarvagata Roga which includes ‘Netraabhishyanda’. Vataja Abhishyanda is characterized by Nistodan (Pricking pain), Sangharsha (foreign body sensation), Shishirashruta (watery discharge), Alpa Shopha (mild chemosis), Vishushka Bhava (feeling of dryness), Parushya (dryness), and so on, which are very similar  to most of the signs and symptoms of Simple Allergic Conjunctivitis. Based on the similarities of signs and symptoms, Vataja Abhishyanda can be co-related with Simple Allergic Conjunctivitis. Simple Allergic conjunctivitis is a common ophthalmic problem predominantly affecting the outdoor workers. The eyes are exposed to different environmental factors. The eye and eyelids are very common sites for allergic reactions. About 50% of conjunctivitis seen by primary physicians is allergic in nature. Triphala Ghrita Aschyotan is very effective in relieving the symptoms of Vataj Abhishyand w.s.r to Simple allergic conjunctivitis. Aim: To study the efficacy of Triphala Ghrita Aschyotan in Vataj Abhishyanda w.s.r to simple allergic conjunctivitis. Materials and Method: A total 60 patients of the age group 18-60 years presenting with signs and symptoms of Vataj Abhishyanda w.s.r to simple allergic conjunctivitis were selected randomly from OPD of the department of Shalakyatantra.

Background: Garbhasambhav Samugri is a concept in Ayurveda which describes factors to bring healthy offspring into the society. The kshetra is one of the four essential factors for the formation and development of the embryo, and the term kshetra is used grossly for women but is specifically used for garbhashaya (uterus). According to modern science, embryo implants in the endometrial lining of uterus. All  components of the endometrium undergo cyclic changes which is called as endometrial cycle. The endometrial cycle prepares the endometrium for implantation of the fertilized ovum coming towards the uterus. The main changes in the endometrium are increase in thickness, growth of uterine glands and increase in thickness and fluid content of endometrial stroma. These changes are reflected as various pattern in the ultrasound. This study will give useful information about which morphological pattern of endometrium is best suitable for implantation.Objectives: The objective of this study is to understand effects of endometrial pattern on implantation, as fertilised egg implants in the endometrial lining of the uterus. Material & Methods: Anonymous data of transvaginal colour doppler ultrasound examination done, on the day of rupture of follicle of menstrual cycle, on 160 women, willing to conceive, has been collected from gynaecologist, from this collected data, results regarding endometrial pattern were derived. Results: It was observed that implantation occurs only in cases having endometrium with trilaminar pattern. Conclusion: Implantation occurs only when endometrium has a trilaminar pattern consisting of a prominent outer and central hyperechoic line and inner hypoechoic region.

Authors: Nambiar Mandeth Kodiyil Geetha , Varghese Vijesh
Published: January 2023

Plants used in traditional medicine may constitute an important source of new biologically active compounds. Acalypha indica is one of the weed plants that contain important medicinal values for human health applications. The present study was undertaken to assess the hepatoprotective activity of methanolic leaf extract of Acalypha indica in goat liver slice culture against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) to prove its efficacy against liver disorders CCl4 was used to induce hepatotoxicity in liver slice of goat. The cytotoxicity induced by CCl4 was estimated by quantifying the release of marker enzymes such as alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Also, the degree of hepatic damage was measured by estimating the levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO) of hepatocytes membrane lipids. The treatment of liver cells with CCl4 caused twice increase in LPO of cells besides release of LDH, ALT, AST, ACP and ALP by 6.55, 3.89, 3.31, 2.69 and 2.50 times, respectively as compared to untreated liver cells. Thus, a toxic effect of CCl4 was significantly reduced by the treatment of methanolic leaf extract of Acalypha indica, silymarin and quercetin. The free radical scavenging activity of plant extract was estimated by 2, 2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and IC50 is 65.12 ± 2.27 μg/mL. Qualitative analysis of flavonoid indicates the presence of flavonoids in plant extract. These results indicate that all concentration of plant extract of Acalypha indica, silymarin and quercetin protect the liver cells from CCl4 induced oxidative/free radical mediated damage in vitro. The hepatoprotective activity of methanolic extract of Acalypha indica extract is due to the presence of flavonoids which have remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

Published: January 2023

Cosmetics made from plants or herbs that are a combination of many different natural chemicals or compounds are referred to as herbal cosmetics. The specifications of the herbal ingredients, the formulation's structure, and the manufacturing procedure are, in this context, crucial factors that influence the final quality and stability of herbal cosmetics. If a cosmetic is natural or organic, it must also be manufactured in accordance with the applicable international standard for technical definitions and criteria of natural and organic cosmetic ingredients and products (ISO 22716). (ISO 16128).Vesicular, particular, and emulsifying agent drug delivery systems are the most favored drug delivery systems among the many used in herbal cosmetics. The benefits of such systems for herbal cosmetics include higher efficacy, increased stability, and a decreased allergenic potential of specific herbal compounds. Thus it is possible to increase the efficacy, stability, and safety of the finished product by selecting an appropriate drug delivery system for a herbal cosmetic. The fulfilment of quality requirements during production, after packing, and during shelf life would be crucial in order to meet long-term stability and dermatological safety, in addition to the advantages previously mentioned. Since herbal cosmetics have become more challenging.

REAL GDP GROWTH RATES OF THE ASEAN REGION: EVIDENCE OF SPILLOVERS AND ASYMMETRIC VOLATILITY EFFECTS
Authors: Tan Genevieve Liao , Diaz John Francis
Published: January 2023

This paper identifies economic relations using real gross domestic product (GDP) within the five Associations of South-east Asian Nation economies namely: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Utilizing ARMA-GARCH, ARMA-EGARCH, ARMA-APARCH models, the study captures the presence of the leverage effect, and spillover of returns and volatility. Most economies except for Singapore are consistent with leverage effects, while the Philippines showed economic resilience with having symmetric volatility response. On one hand, Thailand’s economy has consistent negative one-way relationship on Malaysia’s economy for the three models. This paper suggests that ASEAN economies work together to improve bilateral relations and market integration by trading and investing; and cooperation in terms of food production and migrant workers condition. This will help to reinforce their economic and political relationships that can help boost their respective economies, and sense of regionalism. ASEAN should help each other by sharing their ways to improve the standards of living of their citizens, promotion of safer security and anti-terrorism activities, provide a safer place for the national and overseas workers, trade goods and sell in competitive prices, improve the level of education inside the country. Future studies can further extend data to include other ASEAN countries and also consider other political and economic organizations. A perceived limitation of the paper is the uncertainty of these five ASEAN-5 economies impact within the other major countries but to also other regional groupings and specific economies. In general, this paper can help policy-makers and researchers alike in better understanding economic relations and spillover effects of growth rates and volatility of real GDP. The paper offers further examination of the potential for further connection among the major ASEAN economies and to support existing integration policies.
THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: FACTORS TRIGGERING PANIC BUYING BEHAVIOUR AMONG CONSUMERS IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Gazali Haneffa Muchlis
Published: January 2023

The primary aim of this paper is to assess the factors that trigger panic buying behaviour among consumers in Malaysia. The paper offers a conceptual framework in understanding the factors that trigger panic buying among consumers in Malaysia. Results indicate five important factors that trigger panic buying behaviour among consumers in Malaysia such as herd behaviour, social media exposure, anxiety sensitivity, price and product availability. The study contributes to our understanding of panic buying behaviour. The most important limitation lies in the fact that this study is based on conceptual in nature and has not been able to confirm the relationship between variables empirically. These findings are relevant to both practitioners, policymakers and researchers. These findings add to a growing body of literature on panic buying behaviour and help other researchers to design their study in panic buying milieu. A future study investigating the mentioned variables would be very interesting. In terms of directions for future research, further work could validate the relationship between mentioned variables and provide an empirical analysis. The importance and originality of this study is that it explores that factors that trigger panic buying behaviour among consumers in Malaysia.

Flexible working arrangements (FWAs) have been progressively becoming more prevalent in recent decades, notably in fast-growing economic countries. Human resource (HR) roles in managing FWAs is undeniable since it involves managing employees and work design. Nevertheless, the existing literature has not adequately delved far into conceptualizing the functions of HR in managing FWAs. Therefore, this paper aimed to enlighten the grey area of the HR role in FWAs. This paper is crucial as it established the critical role of HR in initiating, implementing, and developing FWAs in an organization. Understanding HR roles will lead to the success of FWAs implementation or enhancement.

Мета. Метою статті є проведення класифікаційного впорядкування інститутів, які здійснюють фінансування ініціатив у сфері сталого розвитку, та вивчення їх досвіду на європейському та національному рівні.

Методологія / методика / підхід. Як змістовну методологічну основу класифікації різнорівневої системи інститутів, які здійснюють фінансування ініціатив у сфері сталого розвитку, використано мультистейкхолдерський підхід, як технічний інструментарій – метод типологій. Їх застосування, поряд з компаративним аналізом, дозволило узагальнити досвід організації інституційного забезпечення фінансування ініціатив сталого розвитку на європейському та національному рівні.

Результати. Установлено, що у світі та ЄС є значна кількість інститутів, які у своїй сукупності створюють інституційне забезпечення фінансування сталого розвитку, що зумовлює важливість їх класифікації. Базуючись на порівнянні європейського та національного досвіду, визначено, що формування національної стратегії сталого розвитку в Україні потребує посилення інституційної спроможності фінансування заходів і Цілей у цій сфері.

Оригінальність / наукова новизна. Розроблено систему критеріїв класифікації розробників стандартів, регуляторів, міжнародних організацій, що утворюють інституційне забезпечення фінансування сталого розвитку на основі мультистейкхолдерського підходу.

Практична цінність / значущість. Указана система критеріїв дозволяє упорядкувати процес визначення концептуальної основи для здійснення фінансування ініціатив зі сталого розвитку з огляду на інституційне та регуляторне середовище та превалюючі інтереси стейкхолдерів.

Мета. Мета статті – розгляд теоретичних засад конкурентоспроможності та її ролі в розвитку підприємницької діяльності в аграрному секторі.

Методологія / методика / підхід. Дослідження теоретичних засад формування та розвитку конкурентоспроможності аграрних підприємств з використанням системного підходу дало змогу систематизувати наукові положення щодо змісту й ролі цього явища в підприємницькій діяльності.

Результати. Визначено сутність і підходи до розуміння конкуренції як економічного явища. Подано аргументи, що поняття «конкурентоспроможність» тісно пов’язане з поняттям «конкуренція», а в практичному вираженні такий зв’язок відповідає сутності ринку як системи боротьби протилежностей. Теоретична модель визначення поняття «конкурентоспроможність» полягає в тому, що її розуміють як стан суб’єкта господарювання за оцінкою здатності продуктивно реалізувати свій потенціал, одержуючи від цього вигоду, прибуток, достатній для розширеного відтворення.

Оригінальність / наукова новизна. Удосконалено теоретико-методичні характеристики сутності конкурентоспроможності з визначенням її ролі та значення в розвитку підприємницької діяльності в аграрному секторі, які полягають у тому, що конкурентоспроможність – це сукупність якостей, властивостей, характеристик суб’єкта (товар, послуга, підприємство тощо), що забезпечують можливість задовольняти потреби, а в підприємницькій діяльності – досягати цілей з розвитку виробництва, просування на ринок виробленої продукції, одержання достатнього доходу.

Практична цінність / значущість. Результати дослідження теоретичних засад конкурентоспроможності й визначення її ролі в розвитку підприємницької діяльності дадуть можливість підприємцям переглянути значення конкурентоспроможності.

Проблеми формування та підвищення економічної ефективності виробництва молока
Authors: Kolosha Valerii
Published: January 2023

Мета. Метою дослідження є розгляд та узагальнення поглядів щодо оцінки сучасних методів і підходів до визначення економічної ефективності виробництва молока.

Методологія / методика / підхід. В якості методу дослідження було обрано аналіз літературних джерел, критична оцінка різних поглядів щодо оцінки ефективності виробництва молока та розробка власних пропозицій відносно даної оцінки.

Результати. Установлено, що для галузі молочного скотарства найбільш поширена практика оцінки економічної ефективності через розрахунок виробництва валової продукції на 1 середньорічну голову тварин, 1 люд.-год, 1 ц корм. од., 1 грн вартості кормів, 1 грн затрат; валовий дохід на 1 голову, на 1 люд.-год; чистий дохід на 1 голову, 1 люд.-год, 1 грн затрат; рівень рентабельності й оплати праці; продуктивність худоби. Констатується, що в Україні є нагальна проблема підвищення рівня економічної ефективності виробництва молока. Відмічається, що саме збитковість галузі скотарства протягом значного періоду часу є одним з головних факторів скорочення як поголів’я, так й обсягу виробництва молока.

Оригінальність / наукова новизна. З метою оцінки рівня ефективності в молочному скотарстві пропонується розраховувати коефіцієнт відносної ефективності витрат в галузі скотарства. Цей показник оцінює співвідношення зміни темпів рівня виробництва товарної продукції (продуктивності тварин) на одну голову зі зміною темпів витрат. Його економічний зміст полягає в тому, що величина цього коефіцієнта на рівні одиниці свідчить, що на підприємстві темп зміни витрат та одержаного через це доходу, або продуктивності, співпадають. Якщо вона більше одиниці, то наявна зростаюча віддача, а якщо менша одиниці – спадна віддача.

Практична цінність / значущість. У теперішніх умовах розвиток галузі скотарства можливий лише за умов функціонування відповідного економічного механізму стимулювання виробників, у тому числі з допомогою державної підтримки через відповідні програми. Це дало б змогу підприємствам здійснювати інвестиції на початкових етапах виробництва.
Особливості економічних відносин між учасниками ринку продукції тваринництва
Authors: Kravchenko Olha
Published: January 2023

Мета. Метою статті є узагальнення теоретичних основ дослідження сутності та змісту економічних відносин між учасниками агропродовольчого ринку, зокрема, ринку продукції тваринництва, розширення та доповнення класифікації видів відносин та обґрунтування їх сучасної трансформації.

Методологія / методика / підхід. Теоретико-методичною основою дослідження є діалектичний метод пізнання економічних процесів, фундаментальні положення сучасної економічної теорії, наукові праці вітчизняних і зарубіжних учених щодо дослідження сутності та змісту економічних відносин між учасниками агропродовольчого ринку, зокрема, ринку продукції тваринництва. Для досягнення поставленої мети використано системний підхід, методи узагальнення, індукції, дедукції, аналізу, синтезу та порівняння.

Результати. Результатом дослідження є розширення знань щодо особливостей трансформації економічних відносин під дією мінливих економічних процесів у динамічному просторі. Такими процесами є: розвиток інтеграції теорії в практику, процес державного регулювання ринку, розвиток людського капіталу, аграрних відносин та інтеграційні процеси. Перетворення економічних відносин, своєю чергою, чинить зворотний вплив на зміну економічного простору. Результатом також є узагальнення класифікації економічних відносин шляхом виділення певних критеріїв.

Оригінальність / наукова новизна. Наукова новизна полягає в уточненні категорій «економічні відносини ринку продукції тваринництва» та «економічний простір». Під першою категорією розуміємо взаємодію та взаємозалежність учасників цих відносин, які виникають у процесі виробництва, переробки й реалізації продукції тваринництва та спрямовані на задоволення потреб учасників шляхом реалізації їхніх інтересів; під другою – сукупність економічних процесів і суб’єктів господарювання, що пов’язані єдиною інституційною структурою та інформаційним полем із формування результатів економічної діяльності.

Практична цінність / значущість. Практична значущість полягає в конкретизації рекомендацій сільськогосподарським товаровиробникам, а саме щодо поетапних дій з державної реєстрації господарств населення, як суб’єктів мікропідприємництва, і потім інтеграції їх до агропродовольчого ринку. Метою запропонованих організаційних змін є налагодження вертикальних, формальних, довгострокових, регулярних (стійких), взаємовигідних і надійних міжгалузевих відносин, які зумовлені технологічною особливістю виробництва продукції тваринництва. Реалізація запропонованих дій допоможе змінити напрями економічних відносин між учасниками ринку.
