CIRCULAR ECONOMY TACTICS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF INDIAN INDUSTRIES
Authors: Kejriwal Prisha
Published: December 2023

A circular economy maximises the amount of time that materials, goods, and services can be used for. In a circular economy, resources are used less frequently, materials, goods, and services are redesigned to use fewer resources, and "waste" is recovered and used as a resource to create new goods and materials. Any circular economy adaption is crucial to reducing global warming. As a result, any study about circular economy technologies, their attendant drawbacks, and policy suggestions for improvement assume primary importance in contemporary times. Towards that end, this paper examines the growing trends in three key industries in India – namely, agriculture, manufacturing, and technology – in an attempt to analyse the relative success of these adaptations and their wider impact. Qualitative and quantitative insights are drawn through case studies of companies working in India. The analysis is further bolstered by comparing the scenario in India with global trends that highlight the work that needs to be done. Accordingly, the paper concludes by underlining the most important advantages and disadvantages as well as suggesting suitable policy courses for the future.

Book Review: Abrams, A. (2023). Shortchanged. How Advanced Placement Cheats Students. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press.
Authors: Manolescu Dan
Published: December 2023

A much-needed thorough analysis of the validity of the powerful cultural and institutional role of the Advanced Placement exams is clarified right from the start: “Much of today’s discussion about the decline of the liberal arts centers on the undergraduate experience: tracking applications to liberal arts colleges and enrollments in majors, navigating the relationship between humanities and STEM requirements.” (pp. 3-4) This is how Annie Abrams begins her highly engaging and argumentative presentation of a contemporary issue regarding the mission of the Advanced Placement (AP) programs. With a quick self-assessment of her experience as a college instructor, the author recalls that “teaching writing was social,” which also relates beautifully to basic values embedded in student writing: “Clarity, innovation, investment, and enthusiasm all contributed to an essay quality.” (p. 4)
LAW OF LARGE NUMBERS OF PROBABILITY THEORY AND FORMATION OF THE ENERGY SPECTRUM OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION OF RELATIVISTIC ELECTRON IN THE STORAGE RING
Authors: Mazmanishvili О.S.
Published: December 2023

The fluctuations of synchrotron radiation (SR) energy losses during the motion of relativistic electrons in the uniform magnetic field in a storage ring are considered. The influence on the formation of the energy spectrum of the SR photon flux of the duration of registration of SR relativistic electrons is analyzed. It has been established that
with the increase in the duration of temporal registration, the energy spectrum of the SR photon flux is regularly transformed into the asymptotically normal density in accordance with the law of large numbers of probability theory. It is determined that the main mechanism in the formation of the energy spectrum is successive convolutions of
the current spectra.
INFLUENCE OF GENERATED PUMP ELECTRIC FIELD ON MULTIHARMONIC INTERACTION OF WAVES IN AMPLIFICATION SECTION OF SUPERHETERODYNE FEL
Authors: Lysenko A.V. , Voroshylo O.I. , Ilin S.S.
Published: December 2023

In the cubic nonlinear approximation, we analyze the processes of generating the electric pump field by an electron beam and its effect on the amplification of space charge waves (SCW) in the amplification section of a parametric superheterodyne free-electron laser (FEL). We found that the generated pump electric field amplitude is within 21…33% of the amplitude of the external pump electric field. We showed that the generated pump electric
field is in phase with the external one. It leads to an increase in the growth increments of SCW; therefore, the length of the SCW amplification section is reduced by 22%. We found out that this field does not destroy the mode of amplification of multi-harmonic SCW. Thus, the studied effect makes it possible to create FELs with smaller longitudinal dimensions and powerful electromagnetic waves with a complex multi-harmonic spectrum.
Asia Syndrome and Breast Implants, Report of A Case and Review of The Literature
Authors: Victor Manuel Vargas Hernández
Published: December 2023

Background: Over the past decades, evidence has accumulated that autoimmune symptoms can be triggered by exposure to environmental immunostimulatory factors that act as adjuvants in genetically susceptible individuals, with several unexplained symptoms. Adjuvant-induced autoimmune/autoinflammatory Syndrome (ASIA) was described in 2011 by Shoenfeld and Agmon-Levin and defined the diagnostic criteria. However, the association of this syndrome with silicone breast implants is controversial.

Objective: To describe a case of ASIA syndrome in a silicone breast implant carrier and review of the literature.

Clinical Case: JKT 36-year-old woman with luminal infiltrating ductal carcinoma; with negative extension studies, a conservative mastectomy of the skin and areola was performed with immediate reconstruction with an implant with a breast prosthesis and hormone therapy; Her follow-up was torpid with fatigue, pain in the arm, depression and sleep disturbances and affected breast skin, without infection. As she did not respond to conservative management, it was decided to remove the prosthesis, resection of the capsule and skin, due to the suspicion of the syndrome. From ASIA, as there was no involvement or persistence of breast cancer, with immediate improvement.

Method: Bibliographic review of original articles written in English on cases of ASIA syndromes, associated with silicone breast implants from their description to the present.

Results: Until 2019, 126 cases of ASIA syndrome due to silicone breast prostheses and implants were reported. Removal of the prosthesis improves symptoms.

Conclusion: ASIA syndrome is recent, it is still considered an evolving concept, it is necessary to identify risk factors for the development of autoimmune phenomena in individuals who will receive some type of adjuvant to prevent cases of this syndrome.

The use of anchoring screws, or more precisely anchoring mini-screws, has made an enormous contribution to the orthodontist by opening up a new era in the management of severe dento-facial deformities that are uncompromising to conventional treatment and especially the situations of loss of anchorage that we will try to develop through this presentation by illustrating our subject by a treated clinical case.
Do not Miss a Pediatric Lateral Condyle Fracture- A Case Based Description of Neglected Case Managed with Good Outcome
Authors: Agarwal Sharat
Published: December 2023

Background: Lateral Condyle Fractures are the second most common fracture amongst the pediatric elbow fractures, which is usually neglected commonly due to parents not seeking timely medical help or clinician missing the diagnosis with lack of knowledge or understanding.

Case Presentation: A 3-year-old female was presented in the outpatient department with outward bowing of the right elbow following a history of FOOSH injury more than a month back. Clinical examination showed gross valgus deformity with an increased carrying angle with thickened and irregular lateral condyle on examination. Adiograph of the elbow showed nonunion of the lateral humeral condyle with lateral displacement and malrotation of the fracture fragment. The carrying angle of the affected side was 50º and Baumann’s angle on affected side was 40º. A CT scan also showed displaced fracture of lateral epicondyle of right humerus. Patient was treated successfully with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) with Kirschner (k) wires. On follow up, the patient had significant improvement with the correction of valgus deformity and overall improvement in the elbow range of movements.
Descolonizar códigos éticos en antropología. Perspectivas interseccionales aplicadas a las deontologías etnográficas asociativas italianas
Authors: Gambardella Miria
Published: December 2023

A partir de una relectura crítica de los códigos éticos y deontológicos de las principales sociedades y asociaciones antropológicas nacionales, se investigan intentos de atribuir criterios éticos a los métodos etnográficos, revelando el orden moral de la acción de quienes eligen constituir una identidad profesional colectiva. El análisis se centra en las estrategias implementadas para moralizar y legitimar sus prácticas y prevenir riesgos de subsunción de su trabajo por parte de organismos gubernamentales o realidades privadas -comerciales o sin fines de lucro- que dictan códigos de conducta a veces percibidos como incompatibles con los objetivos de la disciplina, de la investigación científica y de los métodos etnográficos. Una mirada no hegemónica es aplicada a esfuerzos de profesionales por prevenir toda discriminación, cuestionando la ecuación entre vulnerabilidad y pasividad gracias a la perspectiva interseccional la cual subraya el carácter liminal de todas aquellas subjetividades que se apartan del modelo dominante, constituyendo formas alternativas de hibridación identitaria que resisten a las representaciones dominantes. El objetivo de estas reflexiones es entonces abrir espacios de participación situados, acogedores y respetuosos para todas las subjetividades involucradas en las investigaciones.

Successful education is not limited to providing knowledge or information alone, but is able to bridge behavioral transformations in each individual. The success of education lies in its ability to shape a person's character, attitudes, and morals. More than just knowledge transfer, quality education provides a strong foundation for positive personality development. A teacher who is classified as a professional is a role model for his students, but if we look at the reality, there are still many unprofessional teachers who maintain bad behavior. This study aims to explore the relationship between teacher professional competence and Christian character building in the context of Christian religious education. The research approach applied is qualitative through a literature review method. The results showed that a teacher needs to master all the basic competencies of the teacher, including spiritual competence to be an example for students in forming Christian character. The implication is the teacher's contribution to Christian education that is relevant to the demands of the times. This research provides a deeper understanding of the essential relationship between teachers' professional competence and Christian character building, enriching the context of Christian religious education.

Hyperglycemic wounds take longer to heal, and high glucose results in an increase in inflammatory cells, a decrease in the angiogenesis process, and the production of growth factors. Antibiotic treatment, surgery, or debridement can increase the risk of amputation. This study aimed to determine the effect of administering gel secretome hypoxia mesenchymal stem cells (SH-MSCs) on the expression of PDGF and IL-1b in Wistar rats with a hyperglycemic wound model. In vivo laboratory experimental research with a Post Test Only Control Group Design. The samples consisted of 30 Wistar rats, divided into 5 groups, namely healthy rats (P1), negative control (P2), positive control with gentamicin (P3), gel secretome dose of 20 μL/rat (P4), and gel secretome dose of 40 μL/rat (P5). MSC secretome hypoxia gel treatment for 10 days, then skin tissue samples were examined using the RTq-PCR method to analyze PDGF and IL-1b gene expression. Analysis of PDGF gene expression showed significant differences between treatment groups using the Kruskal-Wallis test with a result of 0.018 (p<0.05), but there were no significant differences between groups using the Mann-Whitney test (p<0.05). Analysis of IL-1b gene expression showed significant differences between treatment groups using the Kruskal Wallis test with a result of 0.001 (p<0.05), various doses of secretome gel affected reducing IL-1b gene expression using the Mann Whitney test with a result of 0.004 (p<0, 05). The most significant decrease was at a secretome dose of 40 μL/mouse. MSC secretome hypoxia gel at a dose of 40 μL/rat effectively reduces IL-1b gene expression in Wistar rats with a hyperglycemic wound model. However, various doses of MSC secretome hypoxia gel do not significantly increase PDGF gene expression.

Dyslipidemia is characterized by an increase in total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and a decrease in HDL. One of the consequences of endothelial dysfunction as a precursor to cardiovascular disease is induced by oxidative stress and inflammation, so this condition must be controlled. Dyslipidemia causes an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines which play a role in oxidative stress and inflammatory processes. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of administering snake fruit ethanol extract on serum lipid profile, IL-6 and MDA levels in Wistar rats induced by a high-fat diet. The type of research is experimental with a Post Test Only Control Group Design research design. The research subjects used 36 Wistar rats, divided into 6 treatment groups, namely healthy control group (KS), negative control (K-), positive control with simvastatin (K+), 60 mg dose EEKS group (P1), 120 mg dose EEKS group (P2), and EEKS group dose 240 mg (P3). Examination on day 36 used blood serum ELISA method to analyze levels of lipid profile, IL-6 and MDA. There was a significant difference using the t test (p0.05) in the average decrease in total cholesterol, LDL, triglyceride levels and increase in HDL levels. The results of IL-6 levels showed significant differences between groups using the one way anova test (p0.05), the 120 mg dose had the lowest results but was not significantly different when compared to the K+ group using the post hoc LSD test (p0, 05), while the results of MDA levels were significantly different using the Kruskal Wallis test (p0.05), showing that the 240 mg dose had the same results as the simvastatin group using the Mann- Whitney test (p0.05). Snake bark ethanol extract (EEKS) at a dose of 240 mg has the same effect as simvastatin by reducing total cholesterol, LDL, triglyceride levels and increasing HDL. EEKS reduces IL-6 and MDA levels in dyslipidemia conditions.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global public health concern, with Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) constituting a substantial burden. This study aimed to assess the socio-demographic profile of PTB patients, with a focus on Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases, at Chest Diseases Hospital in Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Data from 299 patients were analyzed, considering variables such as age, gender, education, income, and urban or rural residence. The study revealed that the majority of patients were aged 30-44 years, with a mean age of 38.06 years. Gender distribution showed 54.18% males and 45.82% females. Most patients had primary education, and a significant portion were illiterate. Housewives were the largest occupational group, and the majority had a monthly family income of less than Taka 10,000. Furthermore, the study found a significant relationship between MDR-TB and the type of family and monthly family income, with higher MDR-TB prevalence in nuclear families and among those with lower income. This study provides critical insights into the socio-demographic characteristics of PTB patients, especially those with MDR-TB, in Rajshahi, contributing to tailored TB control strategies.

This study aims to determine the socio-cultural aspects of seaweed farmers in Ghone Balano Village, Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. Seaweed farmers on the coast of Ghone Balano Village, Muna Regency, especially people who work as fishermen, are changing from traditional to more modern lifestyles with a focus on sea utilization or seaweed cultivation. This change can be seen in the production process of seaweed cultivation which is more characterized by household business activities dealing with marketing processes that have capitalistic value. However, this change was hampered by funding from government and private financial institutions. Although technology has begun to be applied in seaweed cultivation, it has not been optimal in increasing production because it is very dependent on the contributions of family members. As a result, slow capital formation and suboptimal use of technology hamper the progress of seaweed cultivation among these farmers.

Leveraging online news for language learning across diverse educational contexts
Authors: TOPAL İbrahim Halil
Published: December 2023

Digitization has made the news accessible to many people worldwide. Since it contains large quantities of authentic language input, online news has riveted language learners, teachers, and educators. Despite the availability of multitudes of studies on online news, research is needed to explore its potential benefits and drawbacks to guide language education. To that end, this exploratory research presented the possible educational impacts of online news on language education, offered a practical guideline for language teachers, and suggested specific news websites to utilize. The examination of a systematic literature review revealed eight potential advantages (real-world context, vocabulary expansion, grammatical/syntactical practice, heightened cultural awareness, practice/improvement in four skills, authentic language input, and content diversity) and disadvantages (linguistic complexity, content bias and inaccuracy, limited interactivity, time consumption, accessibility, and technology dependency, information overload, digital distraction, and privacy concern). Accordingly, a five-step practical guideline for using online news for classroom teaching is suggested for language teachers. The research offers news websites beneficial to multilingual and multicultural learning and awareness. Finally, the research concludes with some limitations and recommendations for future studies.

Corporeidade criança na aprendizagem: Uma perspectiva fenomenológica
Authors: Jesus Martins Rafael Gomes de , Moreira Wagner Wey , Sobreira Vickele
Published: December 2023

Entendemos que as discussões sobre corpo, criança e infância carecem de reflexões mais sensíveis no que tange o contexto escolar. Com uma abordagem qualitativa descritiva e enfoque fenomenológico, pretendemos compreender como é o entendimento da corporeidade criança na aprendizagem a partir da perspectiva de docentes atuantes nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Os/As participantes responderam duas perguntas: “Como a criança aprende?” e “Que é corpo-criança na aprendizagem?”. Os resultados foram interpretados por meio da Técnica de Elaboração e Interpretação de Unidades Significados (U.S.). Elencamos aqui as U.S. e seus percentuais de ocorrência com relação à primeira pergunta: “Experimentando” (63%); “Motivação e Necessidade” (54%); “A pergunta gera reflexões sobre criança e educação” (54%); “Construindo seu aprendizado” (45%); “Estímulos e mediações” (45%); “O aprendizado é multifacetado” (27%). Já com relação ao segundo questionamento, obtivemos as seguintes U.S.: “Reflexões sobre criança e educação” (72%); “Ser integral” (54%); “Expressão e existência” (54%); “Primeiro contato com o termo” (27%); “O termo desperta atenção” (27%); “É o corpo” (27%); “Corporeidade” (9%), “Não sei” (9%). A partir dos resultados encontrados nas respostas dos/as docentes verificamos que a criança aprende vivendo na plenitude das suas experiências e o seu aprendizado é processado pelo corpo de forma integral e não apenas na mente. Buscar pelo entendimento de que a mente e o corpo não se separam pode nos guiar, e esta é a nossa perspectiva, em direção a uma aprendizagem mais humana e sensível que evidencie a corporeidade criança no ambiente escolar.

Published: December 2023

Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the anatomical, morphometric, topographic, and histological features of the uropygial gland in adult male and female budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus).

Material-Method: For this study, the glandula uropygialis of fourteen adult budgerigars (7 male, 7 female) were used in the study. This glandular structure located between the caudal vertebrae and pygostyle was removed by careful dissection. Morphological and histological characteristics of the dissected glandula uropygialis were determined. In addition, morphometric measurements and index calculations were performed. Tissue samples taken to determine the histological structure of the gland were stained with Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E), Masson Trichrome's and Periodic Acid Schiff-Alcian Blue.

Result: In the study, it was determined that the gland structure was heart shaped and consisted of two lobes, a papilla and a draining duct system. Uropygial gland weight was determined as 1.57±0.96 g in male birds and 1.52±0.09 g in female birds. As a result of the statistical evaluation, there were significant differences between the sexes in the parameters of lobe width (P

Purpose of the study: The study aimed to establish the influence of non-monetary rewards on talent retention in the textile industry in Harare. The study was motivated by the challenges of high labour turnover in the textile industry owing to the depreciation of RTGS dollar against the major currencies, and thus lowering salares of employees earning in RTGS salary denominated payments. The study focused of non-monetary rewards namely: company cars, housing loans, grocery hampers, and phyisical rewards in place of monetary rewards. Methodology: The study applied the explanatory study design which allows a mixed approach of combining quantitative and qualitative data sets to be analyzed sequentially in a single study. Main Findings: The study found that components of non-monetary rewards (Employee achievements, employee promotions, employee praise, and employee recognition) had a positive and significant relationship with retention of talented employees in the textile industry. Conclusions and recommendations: The study concluded that deployment of non-monetary rewards had a significant impact on retention of skilled personnel in the textile industry. The main study recommendation was that managers in organizations are encouraged to recognize achievements of employees and reward them, recognize production history of employees and reward through promotions, employee praise, and employee recognition.

This study sought to investigate institutional determinants of strategic plan implementation in public secondary schools in Machakos County, Kenya. The study objective sought to determine the influence of the stakeholders’ participation in school development plans on strategic plan implementation. The study used Descriptive survey research design. The study targeted 351 public secondary school principals 1,404 class teachers, and 1,755 academic Heads of Departments from which a sample of 105 principals, 176 academic HoDs and 140 class teachers was derived. Stratified sampling technique was used to sample the respondents. A questionnaire and an interview guide were the data collection tools. Qualitative and quantitative data was collected. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used to analyses data. Data was presented by use of frequency distribution tables, and pie charts. Person’s product-moment correlation Coefficient and multiple linear regression was used to analyze the inferential data. The set level of hypothesis testing was set at a 0.05 level of significance. This study may be significant to the school Board of Management members and policy makers in terms of know how skills on formulation, implementation and evaluation of strategic plans implementation in schools. This study found that stakeholder participation in school development plans have a positive and significant influence on the strategic plan implementation. Based on these findings, the study recommended that the stakeholders’ need to honor the invitation to take part in the school development plans in the strategic plan and in essence parents ought to be part and parcel in formulating the school strategic plan, and ensure the strategic plan implementation through school fees payment in time. Likewise Constituency Development Fund as stakeholders need to perform its duty in order to ensure adequate strategic plan implementation. The researcher conducted Hypothesis testing using a multiple regression model at the 5 percent level of significance. The results of hypothesis testing gave a positive coefficient of 0.2519 on stakeholder participation in school development plans was realized with a p-value of 0.000 indicating a statistically significant at the 0.05 level. Hence we reject the hypothesis that, stakeholder participation in school development plans has an effect on strategic plan implementation. This indicates that, stakeholder participation in school development plans does have a statistically significant effect on strategic plan implementation in public secondary schools in Machakos County.

Conduct disorder (CD) is a disruptive mental health condition characterized by aggressive, hostile, deceitful and disobedient behaviour. This research aimed to investigate the relationship between conduct disorder and social factors within charitable institutions. The study included a sample of 174 individuals (n=174) selected from a population of 348 boys and girls aged 10 to 17 living in two charitable children’s institutions (CCIs) in Kenya. A correlational research design was employed, and a stratified random sampling technique was used for participant selection. Data collection involved a social demographic questionnaire and a conduct disorder scale. Inferential statistics were applied, including paired t-tests, which revealed statistically significant association between conduct disorder and respondent’s age (p<.001), experience of violence (p=.003), lacking basic needs (p<.001) and drug abuse (p=.007). As a result, the study recommends the implementation of counseling services, personalized adult supervision, and creative approaches for managing adolescents within CCIs. These recommendations aim to address and mitigate the behavioral challenges associated with conduct disorder among young residents in charitable institutions.

A indução de genotoxicidade por medicamentos sintéticos pode ocasionar vários riscos à saúde da população. Quanto à segurança biológica de fármacos, é de extrema importância verificar se estes apresentam alguma ação que possa causar dano à célula, como lesões que provocam patologias nos indivíduos que façam uso destes medicamentos. Existe uma variedade de testes utilizados como parâmetros avaliativos e mensurativos úteis na determinação de genotoxicidade, além de investigar os mecanismos celulares para indução de danos no material genético, assegurando deste modo a disponibilização de medicamentos com o menor risco de toxicidade aos pacientes. Desta forma, a presente pesquisa teve o intuito de avaliar a literatura disponível sobre a indução de genotoxicidade por medicamentos sintéticos anti-hipertensivos de fácil acesso da população. Este estudo é metodologicamente estruturado por meio de revisão integrativa da literatura de caráter exploratório. Foram incluídas publicações nacionais e internacionais, dos últimos 10 anos, dos bancos de dados. Os resultados obtidos nessa pesquisa demonstraram que os medicamentos anti-hipertensivos enalapril, pindolol, carvedilol, hidroclorotiazida, apresentaram, por meio de ensaios in vitro e in vivo, quadro lesivo ao DNA, podendo induzir morte celular ou processos mitóticos variáveis, desencadeando processo oncogênico. Para avaliação desses danos foi observado que os ensaios Micronúcleo e Cometa são os mais utilizados por pesquisadores em seus estudos de genotoxicidade. Logo, a pesquisa de genotoxicidade é importante, pois visa à prevenção e o controle desses medicamentos, dos possíveis riscos da exposição humana e apontar novos caminhos e soluções.

A ortodontia é uma área muito procurada para o tratamento de má oclusão dental e estética dentária. Após o final do tratamento, a utilização de contenções é indicada para evitar a movimentação dos dentes já alinhados. Contenções fixas, como no caso das higiênicas, podem acarretar o acúmulo de placa e tártaro, que por sua vez, podem levar a doenças periodontais. Dentre os agravamentos mais severos da doença periodontal, a perda dos dentes pode ser destacada como a sendo a mais frustrante ao paciente. Este trabalho tem por objetivo evidenciar as consequências da contenção dita "higiênica" sobre os tecidos periodontais. Foram selecionados 11 artigos durante a elaboração da revisão. O levantamento mostrou que os atuais dados não são homogêneos e concisos. Para outros tipos de contenções não foram demonstradas pioras na saúde periodontal com uso prolongado e grande longevidade. Sugere-se novos estudos sobre o tema a fim de elucidar a questão.

Introduction: Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest number of tobacco advertisements, promotion, and sponsorship (TAPS) across the globe, which play a significant role in increasing smoking prevalence. Since 2019, Klungkung District has adopted a TAPS ban at point of sale (PoS). Accordingly, this study aims to evaluate compliance with the total TAPS ban at PoS in Klungkung and the factors associated. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Klungkung district from August to October 2021. The survey involved 200 samples of PoS and also the managers, which selected using stratified simple random sampling for registered PoS and a walking protocol for unregistered PoS. Data was collected through observation using a checklist and interview using a structured questionnaire by eight well-trained enumerators. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: The study successfully observed 200 PoS and also interviewed 200 PoS managers. The result showed the compliance was 72.5%. Of 9 factors analyzed using regression analysis, it was found that factors associated with the compliance were knowledge and attitude PoS manager toward TAPS ban (OR=11.3; CI:1.233-103.414; p=0.008), perceived of socio-economic impact factor (OR=8.1; CI:3.584-18.400; p<0.01), and tobacco industry interference (OR=2.8; CI:1.441-5.594; p=0,003). Conclusions: Compliance with the TAPS ban at PoS remain sufficient, even though it has not reached the target. Factors mainly associated with the compliance were the attitude of PoS manager, and tobacco industry interference. Hence, socialization and enforcement should be improved and sustained.
