The purpose of these studies is to develop stationary cultivation regimes to determine the most effective ways of viral antigen accumulation while controlling the accumulation kinetics. The novelty of the conducted research is the use of modern methods for analyzing the kinetics of accumulation of the equine rhinopneumonia virus in various modes. Modern production of immunobiological preparations and diagnostic test systems relies primarily on cost-effectiveness. Traditionally, for the accumulation of virus-containing material, a stationary cultivation method is used, which has a number of advantages, primarily associated with the absence of the need for expensive equipment, consumables, and great opportunities for controlling fungal and bacterial contamination, with low staff qualifications. Virological, microbiological, technological and analytical methods of management and control of stationary cultivation of the EHV-1 strain of equine rhinopneumonia virus were used in the work. As a result of the research, a mathematical model of stationary cultivation of the EHV-1 strain was developed, based on the influence of external and internal factors on the kinetics of virus accumulation, with subsequent implementation of the results into the production process. With a standard production process, the biological activity of the virus was 5.75 lg TCID50/cm3, which, when recalculated, is 500 thousand viral particles per 1 cm3, and when the production process was modified using a mathematical model, the virus activity was raised to 6.5 lg TCID50/cm3 , which, when recalculated, is 3 million viral particles per 1 cm3.

The article presents the research findings of the effect of pathological changes caused by ovarian sclerosis on the morphofunctional parameters of oviducts in cows. The primary reason for symptomatic infertility in cows is functional disorders of the ovaries. The epithelial tissue of the reproductive organs in animals plays a vital role in their reproductive function. Histological and morphological changes in a cow's uterus are closely connected to changes in the ovaries. Specifically, ovarian sclerosis can disrupt the functional activity of the uterine horn's epithelial cells. When studying the morphofunctional state of oviducts damaged by ovarian sclerosis in cows, we found histological and morphofunctional changes therein associated with changes in the ovaries. The left ovary was more often sclerotized than the right one. The total wall thickness of the left and right oviducts in the setting of ovarian sclerosis thickened compared to the norm. In this scenario, the submucosa in the left oviduct measures 22.3% below the standard thickness, whereas in the right one, it is notably thicker by 38.4%. The muscular layer of the left and right oviducts is thicker than norm by 38.7% and 104.2% respectively. The area of protoplasm and the nuclei of the surface epithelium in the left oviduct decreased by 12.95% and 22.2%, respectively, compared with the norm. The functional activity of the surface epithelium cells in the left oviduct damaged by ovarian sclerosis was lower than that in clinically healthy cows.

For the surface tillage, it is common to utilize machines and tools, and their tillage implements are set in motion through contact with the soil and by the tractor's PTO. The furrow produced by the rotating tillage implements is characterized by an uneven bottom that matches the furrow length and aligns with the direction of the movement of the machine-tractor aggregates. However, an analysis of research suggests that this scenario does not fully capture the process of furrow formation by the cutting blade of the concerned tillage implement powered by the tractor's PTO. For the reasons outlined above, determining the tillage implement parameters to achieve the desired quality of surface soil tillage is quite challenging. This article, therefore, delves into the process of furrow formation using the power driven tillage implement.The objective of this study is to develop a methodology for determining the parameters of the furrow formed by the power driven tillage implement’s cutting blade. Experiments were conducted in a soil box filled with sandy soil, considering approach angles ranging from 30 to 90° and kinematic parameters varying between 0.8 and 2.2. The findings reveal that the cutting blade of the rotating implement, designed in an elliptical fashion, generates a furrow that takes on a parallelogram shape when seen from above. At a small approach angle, the implement's cutting blade produces a short, narrow furrow that deviates from the implement's path and remains within the implement's working width.

This article presents the findings of research on the relationship between the Body Condition Score (assessment of fatness) and indicators of milk productivity (fat, protein, milk yield, somatic cells) of dairy Holstein cows managed by Aina Dairy Farm LLP. In total, 4 groups of cows were formed. The data were collected monthly during the control milking, from October 2022 to February 2023. Regular assessment of the body condition can be used as an effective tool in the management of the milking herd. During the study, we found that the average herd BCS reached 2.97, and this score is within the normal range. The analysis of milk composition showed a relatively high fat and protein content in the milk, along with an exceeding of the acceptable somatic cell counts. The research findings, in addition to correlation analysis, demonstrated a link between BCS and milk productivity. Lower BCS values hinder the full unlocking of the genetically hardwired productivity potential, as evident from the average daily milk yield of the herd, which amounts to around 17 kg.

This study aims to examine the protection of children's rights in cases of divorce according to Islamic family law. Divorce is a problem that often occurs in family life and can have a negative impact on children. Therefore, it is important to understand how Islamic family law provides protection for children's rights in the context of divorce. Normative legal research methods with a literature study approach. The data used are relevant legal materials, including the Al-Qur'an, hadith, as well as the opinions of Islamic scholars and jurists regarding issues of divorce and protection of children's rights. The results of this study indicate that Islamic family law pays great attention to the protection of children's rights in divorce cases. Islamic law emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of the family and the well-being of children as a top priority. In the context of divorce, Islamic law places a great responsibility on both parents to protect the rights of the child, including the rights to life, education, health and security. In addition, Islamic family law also provides clear guidelines regarding divorce procedures and children's rights after the divorce occurs. In terms of child care, Islamic law encourages parents to reach a good and fair agreement in the best interest of the child. If there is no agreement, the judge will decide on child care based on the principles of fairness and the best interests of the child.
ITSBAT NIKAH POLIGAMI PERSPEKTIF UNDANG-UNDANG PERKAWINAN DAN SEMA NO. 3 TAHUN 2018
Authors: Iffah Fathiah
Published: January 2024

Sirri marriage or marriage under the hand is something that has become very common in society. One of the factors influencing it is the principle that if the conditions and pillars of marriage have been fulfilled, then it is sufficient to carry out a marriage, including in polygamous marriages. This kind of marriage violates Article 2 paragraph (2) of the 1974 Marriage Law which requires the registration of every marriage. The necessity of marriage registration is not only for administrative order, but also to ensure legal certainty and protection for wives and children. Thus, the wife and children of a sirri marriage will lose legal certainty and protection because sirri marriages are not recognized by law. As a solution to the rise of sirri marriages, itsbat nikah is held so that the sirri marriages that have occurred are recorded and recognized by the state as regulated in article 7 of the Compilation of Islamic Law. Regarding the itsbat nikah of irri polygamy, it is still possible to be accepted and granted by the Religious Court based on the Decree of the Chairman of MARI Number KMA/032/SK/IV/200611 dated April 6, 2006 concerning the Application of Book II Guidelines for the Implementation of Court Duties and Administration. The rules contained in Book II contradict SEMA No. 3/2018 which states that the application for itsbat nikah polygamy on the basis of irri marriage cannot be accepted.
DAMPAK PUTUSAN MAHKAMAH KONSTITUSI NO. 46/PUUVIII/2010 TERHADAP HUKUM PERKAWINAN DI INDONESIA
Authors: Arfi Hilmiati  , Kartika Yusrina
Published: January 2024

The Constitutional Court has handed down the decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 which brings a new paradigm in the family law system in Indonesia. Acceptance of judicial review of Article 2 paragraph (2) and Article 43 of Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage resulted in a decision stating that a child out of wedlock not only has a civil relationship with the mother and her mother's family, but also with her biological father as long as it can be proven by science and technology. The decision amends Article 43 paragraph 1 of Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage and reaped a lot of controversy. Most of the community stated that the decision legalized adultery. Therefore, the author raises the issue of the implications of the decision of the Constitutional Court no. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 on marriage law in Indonesia. The results of the discussion show that the decision has no effect on the provisions for registration of marriages as regulated in Article 2 paragraph (2) of Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. However, it has big implications for the position of children born out of wedlock. Children born out of wedlock have the same rights as legitimate children, namely having kinship relations with biological fathers, maintenance, marriage guardians, and inheritance. The type of research used is library research using normative-juridical and juridical-sociological approaches. Sources of data were extracted from written materials such as legal texts such as law books, statutory regulations, compilations of Islamic law and journals relevant to the problems the authors discussed.
Management Control Systems Practices in Small and Medium Enterprises
Authors: Quinco Daryl
Published: January 2024

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) comprise 99.6\% of the Philippine economy. Many studies have said that SMEs do not need and do not use management control systems (MCS) due to their simple organizational structure and limited resources. Most MCS research and their empirical evidence have nearly been completely founded on information from bigger organizations or their sub-units. It has been expressed that modern Management Accounting Practices (MAPs) and sophisticated systems may likewise be valuable for private ventures, albeit small firms may have dissimilar needs than their larger counterpart. Thus, this study determines the MCS adopted and used in SMEs in Misamis Occidental. A descriptive study using a survey questionnaire was administered to 100 randomly selected SMEs in Misamis Occidental. The questionnaires were personally delivered and administered to facilitate questions raised by the respondents regarding the items in the survey. The result showed that SMEs in Misamis Occidental utilize a wide scope of MCS practices and information. However, numerous practices are not incorporated as profoundly and systematically into their business operations. The outcome also shows that MCS is themed with financial, customer-oriented, and strategic-oriented controls. Thus, aside from designing MCS suited to SMEs, there is a need to guide them in the technical application, adoption, and utilization of MCS data. The data can be used as a base for additional scholarly examination in business.

Authors: Krishna Gupta, Dr. Bindu Arora
Published: January 2024

Purpose – The key objective of this research paper is to conduct a performance analysis to highlight the most productive and impactful research in the domain of financial literacy and financial market participation and to conduct comprehensive science mapping to visualise the data and identify the links between different fields of research.

Research Methodology- A total of 398 documents published between the time span of 1981 to 2022 were extracted from the Scopus database. Bibliometrix, a free and open-source software, is used to perform both descriptive as well as network analysis.

Findings- A rising trend was witnessed in research associated with financial Literacy and financial market involvement, with an annual growth rate of 16.48% in annual scientific production on the topic. Sustainability Journal was found to be the most dominant source for literature in this field of research. America, China, and India are the top countries working in this area. Among academics, the concept of financial literacy continues to garner a growing amount of interest, since 1997. As a corollary, the evolution analysis shows an upsurge in investigating how market involvement is related to a person's level of financial literacy.Keywords like portfolio choice, Investment decision, financial planning, financial well-being, household portfolio, and market volatility, risk assessment, electronic trading, financial crisis were discovered, which have not been explored much. Factor Analysis focuses on two key factors as financial literacy and stock market.

Limitations & recommendations for future research- Data was solely extracted from Scopus database. In future, researchers can access other databases too.

Novelty- Previous researchers have conducted bibliometrics analysis on financial literacy, financial literacy and retirement planning, financial literacy, and its influence on financial behaviour, but so far, no work has been done related to science mapping on financial literacy and financial market participation.

Significance-This study will assist researchers in finding the prominent work on financial literacy and  active participation in financial market and to uncover the emerging trends in this domain.
Corporate Borrowings: A Conceptual Perspective
Authors: Surya Narayan Behera, Maheswar Sethi
Published: January 2024

In the dynamic landscape of global business and finance, corporate borrowings play a crucial role in addressing firms' capital needs, promoting economic growth, and facilitate expansion (Levine, 2003) amidst ever-changing global business and financial scene. Corporate borrowings are essential in forming the financial frameworks of companies in all sectors of the economy. The borrowings, as a source of capital, are considered by the corporate due to limitation of equity capital such as higher risk association from the investors’ perspective and high cost of capital from the company perspective. Borrowings include debt securities, loans, and other credit instruments. Corporations strategically decide whether to leverage borrowed capital in order to maximise their capital structure (Rocca et al., 2011), manage risk (Eunju & Jang SooCheong, 2005), and take advantage of growth prospects (Zhang & Wu, 2017). It is because of the fact that borrowings hold an ambivalent status of acceptance among the corporate. In one hand, borrowings bring benefits to a firm in the form of tax shield effect and less costly capital thereby enhancing shareholders value. On the contrary, it brings many costs to a firm like bankruptcy cost, financial distress etc. So, when making financial decisions, managers carefully examine the option of corporate borrowings as a critical source of funding.

The recent emphasis on environmental sustainability by the Govt. and corporate, has led emphasis on the raising capital through green bond by the corporate that contribute positively to the climate or environment. Further, the concept of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) performance of the corporate has now dragged the attention of the investor as a measure of good corporate citizenship and thereby enabling the corporate to raise less costly capital through borrowings.

In a time of economic uncertainties, technological advancements, and evolving paradigms in financial markets, it is critical to comprehend the corporate borrowings. Hence, this paper aims to give a thorough overview of corporate borrowings by exploring the various facets that characterise this important component of contemporary financial ecosystems.

Further, this paper navigates across the potential benefits and theories which affect corporate financing decisions. On this investigation of corporate borrowings, we aim to provide valuable insights for scholars, policy makers, and industries. The remainder of this paper deals with importance, theories, cost, benefits, and determinants of corporate borrowings and last section provides the conclusion.

Violence against junior medical doctors in Iraq: A trial for de-escalation
Authors: Lafta Riyadh K , Mousawi Ali M Al
Published: January 2024

Background: Workplace violence represents a severe problem facing health systems in almost all countries globally. Communication failure is thought to be the major issue that initiates violence.

Objective: This study aimed to test the effectiveness of a short training course for junior doctors on how to deal with patients’ aggressive attitudes in a trial to de-escalate violence against them.

Materials and Methods: This interventional randomized trial was conducted in a sample of hospitals in Baghdad and Karbala governorates, Iraq, from August 2021 through July 2022. A pre-training survey was conducted to collect data from a sample of junior doctors (1079) to explore their exposure to violent attacks. The one-arm randomized trial measured the difference in exposure of 190 doctors to violent attacks during a comparable period, six months before and six months after the training.

Results: Three-quarters (74.8%) of the sample reported exposure to lifetime violence. The prevalence of exposure to violence in the six months before the intervention was 66.8%, while six months after the training, it dropped to 53.2%, with a statistically significant difference.

Conclusion: A two-day training proved effective in reducing violent incidents. This result indicates the necessity of starting a nationwide, wide-scale, regular, periodic training program for junior doctors to de-escalate violence. The findings of this study represent a message to policymakers to make more efforts to lessen violence against healthcare workers.

Methods: Thirty preterm cases were recruited from September to December of 2019. A pediatric radiologist performed an ultrasound on babies in the sample to detect nephrocalcinosis.

Results: There were 30 neonate babies; 7 (23%) cases had nephrocalcinosis. The mean gestation weight was 1.6±0.4 Kg. About 6% of the neonates did not need an oxygen supply, 10% required steroids, 33% needed theophylline, 20% received vancomycin, 3% received diuretics, and 70% received gentamycin. There was a statistically non-significant association between gender and using oxygen, theophylline, steroids, vancomycin, and diuretics with the occurrence of nephrocalcinosis.

Conclusion: Nephrocalcinosis among premature babies is a common disease and should be considered for screening. Treatment is mandatory to prevent its dangerous consequences.

COVID-19 has impacted the globe in the most disastrous ways. The widespread COVID-19 has affected the education system from kindergarten to the university level. Most nations responded with alacrity with numerous alternatives to teaching and learning (T&L) strategies. Home-based T&L took place although this belligerent strategy did not fully benefit all students due to their inaccessibility to technology. However, as far as the matter is concerned, home-based T&L was the only option that the ministry could execute. Even if the technology is accessible and usable, the concern is the teachers' abilities and knowledge to integrate ICT in their T&L. Teacher digital competency becomes the forefront issue in this study since risks to students' learning process are disdain. This research explained the relationship between the pedagogical method, the information, and communication technologies (ICT) skills, and online teaching readiness among secondary school teachers in Malaysia. A descriptive and correlational study was employed to determine the level of teacher competency in three aspects: digital pedagogy, ICT skill, and online teaching readiness and the relationship among the aforementioned variables. One hundred and twenty-two teachers from selected high schools in Klang Valley were invited voluntarily to participate in the study. The validated questionnaire was uploaded in the google form and the link was distributed to teachers via email invitation. The results indicated the teacher's digital competency based on pedagogical approaches, ICT, and online teaching was ranked at a high level. It is important to note that there was a strong and positive relationship among the studied variables. The findings projected salient integration of the variables to inspire digital competency practices among teachers successfully.

Background: The importance of pesticides in the economy especially in agriculture, cannot be over-emphasized. It is therefore very crucial to uphold and maintain the efficacy of these pest control agents. This study seeks to explore the effect of climate variables on the potency of pesticides. Climate change has emerged as one of the most significant global challenges, disrupting weather patterns and altering ecosystems. These changes pose serious implications for pest dynamics, distribution, and behavior, thereby directly influencing the performance of pesticides. This study analyzed relevant articles related to climate change and pesticides systematically sourced from credible reference databases for a period of 21 years from 2002 to 2023, using the most suitable keywords. Recent scientific research and empirical evidence, analyzing the effects of rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and changing humidity levels on pests and their interactions with pesticide applications were studied. The relevant impact of these effects is seen in reduced agricultural yield, loss of livelihood and source of income, infestation and destruction of agricultural crops, and reduced living standard in the society amongst others. The projected changes include; the development of adaptive agricultural practices and integration of climate-resilient pest management strategies that could improve the efficacy of pesticides. This involves exploring the potential of eco-friendly and biologically-based pest control approaches to reduce the destructive impacts that arise from climate change. These sustainable practices and novel technologies aimed at improving pest control under changing climatic conditions must be encouraged and upheld tenaciously.

Background: This study aimed to isolate Azospirillum species from the soil environment and assess their plant growth-promoting abilities. Soil samples were collected from 10 different agricultural sites. The bacteria were isolated by serially diluting the soil samples and each aliquot was transferred into a Nitrogen-free bromothymol blue medium and then incubated for 7 days at 37°C. The isolates were further screened based on their morphological, biochemical and plant growth phytohormone production. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer will be used to elucidate the functional groups present in the isolates. Furthermore, the isolates were subjected to molecular identification. The results showed that Seventeen (17) bacteria were isolated from the soil samples of different crop plants using nitrogen-free bromothymol blue medium with all forming a white subsurface pellicle and they were further screened to seven (7) isolates, based on their morphological, biochemical, and plant growth phytohormones production characteristics, they include A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6 and A7. Three of the isolates (A1, A3, and A6) were randomly selected for molecular identification. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer identified the functional groups that are present in the Azospirillum strains to be aromatic compounds. All isolates showed ammonium production potential with A7 having the highest production of 781.3 µg/ml. Only four (4) isolates showed the ability to solubilize Calcium triphosphate with A7 having the highest solubilization (776 µg/ml). Furthermore, all isolates exhibited the ability to produce Indole acetic acids in the growth medium with A6 having the highest production (798.5 µg/ml). The molecular analysis and the sequence analysis of the three isolates 16SrRNA showed two of the isolates to be Azospirillum brasilense (A1, A3) and the other Azospirillum lipoferum (A6). Therefore, this study shows that this strain of Azospirillum has a high ability to produce Indole Acetic Acids, which aids in the production of phytohormones such as Auxins, Solubilize Calcium triphosphate and hence proffer a sustainable solution to improving plant growth.

In 2019, Indonesia redefined the minimum age limit for marriage with the aim of achieving gender equality and reducing child marriage rates. Unfortunately, this legal reform did not entirely succeed and, instead, created a paradox within Indonesian society. This study aims to investigate the controversy surrounding the minimum age for marriage as stipulated in Indonesian Marriage Laws. The paper employs a socio-legal approach, collecting data through legal material investigation and interviews. The research indicates that the reformation attempt brings about at least three undesired implications: an increase in the number of marriage dispensations, child marriages, and pre-marital pregnancies. These paradoxes appear to be influenced by several factors: (1) the public's minimal awareness of the current marriage law, (2) the lack of socialization from government bodies, and (3) regulatory inconsistency itself. Theoretically, instead of resolving issues within society, it turns out that the legal changes initiated by the state do not significantly trigger changes within society.
