Peculiarities of International Competition in the Market of Tourism and Hospitality
Authors: Pavliuk Svitlana
Published: November 2022

The global hospitality and tourism market is being transformed through several core factors: new consumer needs of the industry, pandemic, increased competition, in particular the emergence of new regional tourism markets and new companies. The aim of the article is to investigate the competitiveness of the global hospitality and tourism market based on the example of key attractive tourism regions: Africa, the Americas, Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East and Europe. The methodology is based on a statistical analysis of regional hospitality and tourism markets by key indicators of their competitiveness in 2010‒2021. The results show a significant contraction of the global hospitality and tourism market, with transformations in regional markets (Asia due to rising travel costs and restrictions, the Middle East due to rising costs of tourism services). The European hospitality and tourism market is found to be stable due to a slight increase in the cost of travel services and weaker regulatory restrictions introduced during the pandemic. The structure of the industry has changed between  2020 and  2021, with a growing share of regional markets in Europe, resulting in a change in international competition between regional tourism and hospitality markets. The key competitive advantages of European countries in the field of tourism are historical and cultural heritage, developed tourism infrastructure, level of service, safety, cost of tourism services, including transport and accommodation facilities. Despite the development of new regional tourism markets (Asia, Pacific, Middle East) due to increased prosperity and improved infrastructure, the pandemic has caused these destinations to stagnate due to increased costs of tourism services.

Authors: Shestakovska Tetiana
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted to developing directions for improving the governance system of innovative development of the economy using digital technologies. The purpose of the study is to determine the development directions of the public administration system based on the current state and problems of innovative development in Ukraine. The topic’s relevance is determined by the need for rapid and effective economic recovery after the war. The study used general scientific research methods, including analysis, synthesis, comparison, and grouping. The study results show that the economic innovation development governance system is not perfect. Ministries in various fields regulate all innovation processes initiated by the state. So, a single innovation strategy for the state’s development and specific goals and objectives of innovative development is not set. Thus, the innovative development of the state is not coordinated, which needs further improvements. The study also shows that the state is not ready for innovative development, which requires an increase in the population ready to use digital technologies. In turn, it will increase the number of specialists in the information services field that can develop production processes. State stimulation of the IT services development will significantly accelerate economic growth, which is especially important in post-war conditions. The study’s practical significance lies in its possibility to be used by the administrative apparatus to improve the economic innovation development strategy.

Authors: Vicente Viteri Valle Victor
Published: November 2022

El tema de la generación de preguntas aleatorias del tipo “Opción Múltiple Calculada” para la evaluación automática de los conocimientos en el  área de Vectores, dentro de un curso de Física sería de importancia, no solamente para aliviar la carga del docente que imparte estos temas, sino también para los alumnos acepten el hecho que serán evaluados de manera personalizada, semejante, justa y de entre un determinado conjunto de ejercicios que establezca el docente por considerarlos pertinentes para el tiempo y lugar de los alumnos. La herramienta de gestión de los aprendizajes (LMS) con la que contamos en la Institución de Educación Superior en la que prestamos nuestros servicios como docentes es el Moodle. Este artículo lo vamos a centrar en el proceso de creación de este tipo de preguntas. Dentro de las asignaturas de las llamadas ciencias exactas, la posibilidad de que el LMS genere automáticamente un gran número de ejercicios y de que sean asignados aleatoriamente a los estudiantes, para que, en la medida que lo determine el profesor, le toque a cada alumno un conjunto de problemas “tipo” distintos, y al estar programado en el  LMS, este califica al cuestionario en lugar del docente. En este artículo vamos a poner en consideración de la audiencia las preguntas que el LMS Moodle llama “Calculada Opción Múltiple”, puesto que los estudiantes están  acostumbrados a las preguntas del tipo opción múltiple. Pero por experiencia ya se habrán dado cuenta el esfuerzo que se requiere para dotar a una prueba con el número suficiente de opciones, además que no es muy confiable el reutilizar estas mismas preguntas en alguna prueba englobadora como un parcial o un examen final.

Review on Role of Shukra Dushti (Vitiation of Semen) in Male Infertility and its Management
Authors: Shilpa Shree C  , Neelakanta J Sajjanar  , Gopalakrishna G
Published: November 2022

Infertility is an indeterminate universal issue affecting humanity. It is noticed in approximately 60-80 million couple worldwide among which 40-50% of infertility is estimated to be due to male factors. Male infertility was remarked in Ayurveda as Klaibya and Anapathya. A separate branch as Vajeekarana (Aphrodisiac therapy) was established among eight branches of Ayurveda, emphasizing the awareness of physiology of Shukradhatu (Sperm) and its role in Reproduction along with the measures to procreate children. Shukradushti/Retodushti (vitiation of Semen) occurs due to congenital and acquired factors leading to defective formation or ejaculation of Shukra by vitiation of Tridoshas (three biological humors), resulting in Klaibya (Male Infertility). The clinical diagnosis of Retodushti (vitiation of semen) by clinical signs and symptoms and Retopareeksha (Semen Analysis) is essential for the management of Klaibya, by utilizing drugs possessing Vrushya (Aphrodisiac) Shukrajanana (Spermatogenic), Shukrashodhana (semen purifier) properties and diet-lifestyle modifications. Literature pertaining to Shukradhatu, Shukradushti, Klaibya, Vaieekarana from Ayurvedic classical literatures and reputed journals were referred to gather information. The mention of Retopareeksha in the era of absence of microscope for diagnosis of Shukradushti shows the awareness on the importance of male infertility in the Ancient period.

Currently, soil characterization and classification are becoming the primary source of information for precision agriculture, land use planning, and management. Thus, this study was focused on perusing the landscape-scale spatial variation of soils in data-scarce areas using toposequence-based ground sampling to characterize and classify the soils. Six typical profiles representing major landforms were opened and studied for their morphological characteristics and physical and chemical properties. Results indicated that the soils were shallow to very deep in depth, moderately acidic to moderately alkaline in soil reaction, non-saline, and clay to sandy loam in texture. The soils were found to be very low to low in organic carbon, very low to medium in total nitrogen , low to medium in available P, very low in available S, very low to low in available B, high to very high in CEC and very low to very high in base saturation. The soils were found to tbe deficient in Zn but sufficient in Fe, Cu, and Mn. Following the field survey and soil analytical results, five main reference soil groups, mollic Leptosols (Eutric), Prothovertio Luvisols (Clayic, Aric, Escalic), Skeletic Fluvisols (Arenic, Densic), Haplic Leptosols (Skeletic), Haplic Vertisols (Endocalcaric, Ochric), and Haplic Cambisols (Arenic, Aric) were identified in the different parts of the topographic positions. Pedon - 2, 3, 5, and 6 were classified in I to IV land capability class (LCC) and grouped as arable land with some limitations. They were in suitable to a marginally suitable range. The severe constraints to crop cultivation in the area were low fertility, erosion hazard, and climate for all soil units. Therefore, application of manure and compost alongwith chemical fertilizer, reducing complete crop residue removal, and soil and water conservation measures are essential to overcome these common and other limitations.

An accumulation of bacteria leads to an unbalanced level of oral acids, which results in non-fresh breath. It is anticipated that these issues will be solved by the flavonoids in Kalamansi orange peel acting as an antibacterial in edible films. This study was carried out to ascertain the composition of Kalamansi orange peel extract as an inventive mouth freshener edible film and to ascertain edible film formulation that satisfied the characteristics evaluation test and organoleptic test as a mouth freshener. Kalamansi orange peel was extracted by maceration with 70% ethanol which was then analyzed for its content. The edible film formulation was made into 5 formulation (0-4%). Each of which was tested for characteristics and organoleptic evaluation. The results showed that the content of Kalamansi orange peel extract met the requirements to be formulated in edible films, ethanol content test, yield, moisture content and qualitative tests of flavonoid compounds. The characteristic evaluation test, in each formulation of F0-F4 has reached the corresponding requirements. As for the evaluation test of thickness characteristics of 0.22-0.32 mm, pH of 6.72-7.25, disintegration time of 11-35 seconds and uniformity weight of 100-105 mg. In organoleptic tests, the panelists preferred formulation of edible film was 0% (without Kalamansi orange peel extract). In addition, there are significant differences between edible film (0-4%) and control (K+) in the parameters of color, aroma, texture, taste and refreshing activity.

Misinvoicing in Benin's International Trade: An Analysis from Mirror Statistics
Authors:   Dr, LEP/University of Abomey-Calavi, Bessan Eudoxie , Ayédoun Christian ,   Researcher at CEED, Benin
Published: November 2022

The aim of this work is twofold : to measure the level of misinvoicing in Benin's trade with its main trading partners and to determine its causes. First, based on mirror statistics, we estimate the gross trade discrepancies at about $3.065 billion on average over the period 2000-2017. Its very important development represents more than 350% increase in 18 years. Fraud is dominated by under-invoicing of both imports and exports. The countries most prone to fraud are mainly Asian countries (China, India, and Malaysia), while the most misreported products are mainly those with low proportions of trade (fabrics, textiles and second-hand goods, palm oil, vehicles and motorcycles, cashew nuts, wood and wooden goods). Second, the econometric results obtained from the Pannel Corrected Standards Errors (PCSE) methods showed that the determinants of misinvoicing are customs tariffs, the Benin/Nigeria tariff differential, the share of trade in a product, and indicator variables such as the introduction of the PVI, the perishability of a product, the region of origin, and the tariff and non-tariff measures enacted in recent years. In light of our results, Benin needs to review its trade policy and work toward more effective management of its international trade flows. At the same time, international organizations such as the WTO and the WCO must cooperate and coordinate the management of international trade to control fraud.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sexual disorders in diabetics, owing to diabetes constitutes a growing public health problem, leading to a variety of dysfunctions such as cardiovascular, psychological, and sexual dysfunctions, that is why Diabetes is a well-known cause of sexual disorders, with prevalence rates approaching 50% in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but the determinants of sex dysfunction in diabetic men as a result of the principal cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, and also overweight obesity, in addition to metabolic syndrome, smoking, and sedentary lifestyles. Moreover, sexual disorders considered as important predictors of the development of major complaints in diabetic patients, on the other hand, the debate as to whether diabetes link with sexual dysfunction or not, is an issue of controversy, moreover, diabetic women suffer from the same neurovascular complications that contribute to the pathogenesis of SD in men, however, results of sexual functioning of diabetic women are less conclusive. Conclusion: extending beyond the specific effects on sexual dysfunction in men and women with diabetes, the adoption of these measures promotes a healthier life and increased well-being, which in turn, may help to reduce the burden of sexual dysfunction.

Purpose: The study reviewed the use of rational and quality antibiotics at the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. Three objectives and three research questions were drafted for the study, respectively.

Methodology: The study used a retrospective descriptive survey that lasted four months. The study relied on secondary data, which was gathered from the folders of 583 patients. From January 1, 2019 to April 30, 2019, all patients with complete information admitted to medical, surgical, and paediatric wards, as well as obstetrics and gynaecology wards, had their folders reviewed. A self-developed checklist was used to assess critical aspects of antibiotic utilisation and the use of generic names in antibiotic prescribing, a self-developed checklist was used. The data collected were collated, coded and analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage, charts, and tables.

Findings: The findings showed that out of the total folders (n=583) reviewed, the socio-demographic information showed that majority of the patients (42.2%) who received prescribed antibiotics were adult female. On the age category, out of the total folders (n=583) reviewed, majority of the folders (114) showed that those within the ages of 21-30 years represents over 19.0%. The antibiotics prescribed from the four (4) different departments showed that 26.7% of antibiotics were prescribed and utilized in medical wards. The level of compliance with some standard practices, shows that pneumonia test conducted, was highest in surgery ward, this represents 82.8%, the sensitivity test conducted, was highest in paediatric ward (46.4%). Out of the total antibiotics prescribed (n=1164), generic names were used for 59.6% cases, while 73.2% of the antibiotic prescribed were in the EDL authorised list. The results revealed that cephalosporins were the most commonly prescribed class of antibiotics, 384 (34%) followed by the nitroimidazoles 346 (29.7%) and penicillin’s 138 (11.9%). Inappropriate antibiotic prescription was found to be 58.7% among the total prescribed antibiotics (n=1164).  Based on the results and findings in the study, it is safe to conclude that the majority of antibiotics utilised were over prescribed, with high inappropriate use. The lack of generic use in antibiotic prescriptions and the overuse of antibiotics remain a problem in tertiary hospitals across Nigeria.

Recommendation: This study recommend that prescriptions should be prescribed with slips duly signed by a doctor and approved by a pharmacist before the administration of such drugs. Also, all public hospitals in Nigeria should develop local treatment guidelines using national and international policy guidelines for local infectious disease.
