Election of Cooperative Chairman Using the Moora Method (Multi Objective Optimization On The Basis Of Ratio Analysis)
Authors: Purba Megaria , Simarmata Ratih Iren , Malini Malini
Published: August 2023

The Padrepio Helvetia Medan Parish Mandiri Savings and Loans Association Cooperative is one of the cooperatives engaged in the savings and loan sector by prioritizing members' desire to save so that they can create joint capital for members to borrow with appropriate loan services for welfare purposes. The Annual Members' Meeting is an annual agenda as a media for management to be accountable for their performance for one year. The chairman of the cooperative is the highest structural position of the administrator who has duties and responsibilities both inside and outside the cooperative in controlling all cooperative activities. The process of electing the chairman of the Padre Pio Parish Savings and Loans Association cooperative is still being carried out only by pointing to and mentioning someone's name from among the names of the management and then conveying it to members to approve. The determination of the chairman which is carried out using the arbitrary model is not in accordance with the terms and criteria of an optimal cooperative chairman because the elected chairman is not necessarily the most competent of the candidates and often happens just because of friendship so the results are not objective. With the reasons described, the researcher applied the MOORA method. The application of the MOORA method to the election of the chairman of the Padre Pio Helvetia Medan Parish Independent Savings and Loans cooperative can help determine a more objective chairman based on terms and criteria by solving problems through complex mathematical calculations, determining the weight value for each attribute, then proceed with the ranking process which will select the alternative that has been given. In this study the criteria determined consisted of background and educational level, certificate ownership, age, and length of time being a member. In the objective approach, the weight value is calculated mathematically so that it ignores the subjectivity of the decision maker. With the application of the MOORA method, several alternatives that meet the requirements and criteria can be determined which is the best to serve as chairman. The best ranking results are those who are most worthy of being the head of a more objective cooperative.

The descriptive survey research design was adopted. Two hundred and one (201) members of staff of EKSU, selected through convenience sampling technique, from 8 faculties in EKSU, participated in the study. Data was collected with the aid of self-developed and validated questionnaire and relationships among variables were determined using Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis while differences were determined using t-test. Significance was set at P<0.05. The findings of this study revealed that 82.6%, 83.1% and 66.7% of the respondents had good knowledge of, positive attitude to, and moderate level of participation in recreational activities. Female respondents performed better in knowledge and participation in recreational activities. Also, respondents within the age range of 35-44years had better attitude and participation in recreational activities. Knowledge had a significant positive relationship with attitude (r-0.365, P<0.05) and attitude also had a positive relationship with participation in recreational activities. (r=0.147, P<0.05). There was no significant difference between academic and non-academic staff in the knowledge, attitude and participation in recreational activities. The findings of this study is an indication that having knowledge and a positive attitude are associated with a higher level of participation in recreational activities. Efforts should therefore be made to enhance the knowledge of members of tertiary institutions on the benefits of recreation so as to improve their attitude and participation in recreational activities.

Strategic Corporate Communication and Organizational Performance of Commercial-Based Parastatals in Kenya
Authors: Lerai Solomon Eramram
Published: August 2023

Purpose: To explore the influence of strategic corporate communication on organizational performance of commercial-based parastatals in Kenya. 

Methodology: The study used a descriptive research design to collect data on a target population of six (6) commercial based parastatals. The respondents were 45 departmental managers and 151 administrative staff. The study obtained the sample size of 40 departmental managers and 110 administrative staff using simple random method. They were issued with closed and open-ended. Further, pre-test study was conducted at Kenya Airways where 4 departmental managers and 11 administrative staff. Additionally, descriptive analysis, frequency tables and explanation were used to illustrate the results. Further, inferential statistics where be examined using multiple regression and correlation analysis.

Results: In the questionnaires, 46(43%) respondents strongly agreed and 31(29%) agreed on a mean of 4.07 (SD of 0.98) that, organizations’ vision, values and missions were communicated to employees. Additionally, 40(38%) strongly agreed and 39(36%) agreed on a mean of 3.72 (SD of 1.04) that, the organization communicated its future expansion plans with employees. However, 34(32%) strongly disagreed and 57(53%) disagreed on a mean of 2.45 (SD of 0.74) that, the development of policies is communicated to our employees. The Pearson correlation coefficient was r=0.733** at α < 0.000 and 99% significance level indicating a positive correlation between corporate communication and organization performance.

Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: The deeper details on aspects such as policy formulation processes were hardly known to the staff since there was hardly any communication from the management. The management just communicated on any completed policies ready for implementation. This left out the staff in the dark on the main goal of the policy in the first place. Eventually, this led to resistance hence most polices took more time than required to be adopted or simply not adopted at all by the staff irrespective of the threats from the management. Therefore, the study recommends that there should be developed processes of strategic planning which are well documented by the management and have a policy to guide on what should done, who should be consulted and when should that happen in case of eventualities.
Critical Analysis of Container Accidents in International Logistics
Authors: Babu B. Mariappa , Aithal P. S.
Published: August 2023

Purpose: Container accidents are a significant issue in international logistics, causing property damage, financial loss, environmental hazards, and even loss of life. These accidents can occur in various settings, such as ports, container yards, roads, rails, or seas. Efforts are being made to enhance container safety, but they remain a persistent challenge that requires ongoing attention to ensure the safe and efficient movement of goods across the globe. By understanding the specific aspects of container accidents that are human-controllable and addressing these issues, a more sustainable and efficient global logistics industry can be achieved.
Methodology: An exploratory research design is used in the research study. A comprehensive review of existing literature, including research papers, academic journals, books, reports, and reputable online sources was done. Literature that focuses on container accidents, maritime safety, human factors, and accident investigation reports was extensively studied to gain an understanding of the current state of knowledge on the topic. Data from relevant secondary sources that provide information on container accidents that are human-controllable were identified and collected.
Results & Outcome: Container accidents that are happening owing to natural calamities such as floods, cyclones, sea perils, etc are uncontrollable. There are other forms of container accidents viz cargo damage, container equipment damage, container vessel damage, loss of life owing to container fall, etc occurring due to container sliding while handling, tipping of container vessels while loading, skewing of container vessels in the transit voyage, etc. that are controllable by human interference. Unevenly loaded containers seem to be the prime reason for many container accidents that are apparently controllable by humans by following the International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) guidelines of the International Maritime Organization. In an LCL (Less than Container Load) scenario, adhering to such guidelines may be challenging. There are many research articles discussing the load balancing of containers in an LCL scenario using various optimization techniques, and it appears that the literature is still evolving.
Originality: A exploratory study to understand the human controllable factors in container accidents, further study the regulatory guidelines, and analyse the research papers published.
Type of the Paper: Exploratory research.

Published: August 2023

Current technologies give us the flexibility to enhance and replace-in person classes with computer-based resources, often referred to as virtual labs. Before the pandemic, offline classes used to provide a practical learning environment for students. Because of the pandemic, it is not possible to arrange labs in-person for students where they can directly interact with the faculties. Nowadays, students prefer education from home as it is safe. Students can easily perform experiments from anywhere if they have proper access to an internet connection. There are many challenges in online to the mode of learning. Virtual Labs aids in conquering those challenges to some extent. Simulation-based study of subjects like physics, chemistry, and biology helps students to understand concepts in a better way. Virtual labs can enhance and increase students ‘problem solving, deep thinking, creativity, imagination understanding, scientific process skills, laboratory skills, interest, perception, and learning outcomes. Therefore, teachers need to apply virtual labs to improve teaching quality and student learning outcomes.

The Effect Of Curcumin On Hypoxia In Tumor Microenvironment As a Regulatory Factor In Cancer
Authors: Zahedi Mohammad , Salmani Izadi Hanieh , Arghidash Faezeh , Gumpricht Eric , Banach Maciej , Sahebkar Amirhossein
Published: August 2023

Hypoxia can lead to different responses from cancer cells, including cell death or survival, partially depending on how long it is exposed. Patients with cancer and under hypoxic tumor conditions have a poorer prognosis and are at greater risk of metastasis. Physiological response to low oxygen levels is controlled by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1). Curcumin, the major component of the rhizomes of Curcuma longa L., reduces HIF-1 levels and function, inhibiting the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In addition, curcumin efficiently inhibits the angiogenesis of vascular endothelial cells triggered by hypoxia. One of the most compelling features that drive continued interest in curcumin is the molecules’ modulation of initiation, promotion, and progression stages of cancer while concomitantly acting as a radiosensitizer and chemosensitizer for tumors. In this review, we discuss the role of curcumin in modulating hypoxia and investigate the mechanisms and regulatory factors of hypoxia in tumor tissues.

Antianemic drugs are used to prevent anemia, majorly iron deficiency anemia. Drugs with such pharmacological action are especially relevant for piglets, as animals of this species at this age are particularly sensitive to iron deficiency. The present investigation aimed at studying the pharmaceutical market of antianemic drugs registered in Ukraine during 2017-2022. It should be noted that if the drug is registered, it has been checked for safety according to the food industry standards of Ukraine. In 2017, the national market of veterinary iron-containing drugs was represented by 13 drugs from the group QB03A “Antianemic drugs. Drugs of iron”, according to the АТС-vet classification. The range of these drugs by 38 % was provided by pharmaceutical products of Ukrainian manufacturers: "O.L.KAR-AgroZooVet-Service", "Pharmaton", "Brovapharma", "Experimental production of the Institute of Epizootology", "Biopharm", and "Vetsintez". Imported products (62 %) were represented by Pharmacosmos, Merial, Koofavet , "Vugen B&G" , "Biovet Pulawy", "Interchem Verken De Adelaar", and "Bioveta". In general, the modern pharmaceutical market of veterinary drugs in Ukraine during 2017–2022 was sufficiently provided with antianemic drugs for pigs and mostly imported drugs. The percentage of antianemic drugs of Ukrainian production prevailed in 2020, however the imported drugs of this pharmacological group's was higher in 2022. It can be concluded that the drugs of non-Ukrainian production predominated among antianemic drugs in Ukraine during 2017-2022. Based on the obtained results, we can state that in Ukraine there is a need for the development and/or production of domestic anti-anemic drugs. They must be effective and ensure a reduction in the dependence of the national pharmaceutical market of drugs of this group on foreign manufacturers.

Published: August 2023

To evaluate the performance and hematological indices of broiler chickens fed biodegraded cassava root meal an experiment was conducted in the Poultry Unit of the Livestock Teaching and Research Farm, Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi, Benue State. A total of one hundred and fifty five week-old (Ross 308) finishing broilers was used for the experiment. The birds were assigned randomly into three treatments and each treatment was replicated five times with ten birds per replicate. Cassava root was peeled and chopped into small pieces of about 90-100g and mixed with rumen filtrate (fluid). This was then biodegraded for 24 hours and 48 hours. The biodegraded cassava root meal (BCRM) was used to formulate broiler’s diets at a 10% inclusion level to supplement for maize. The diets formulated were T1, T2 and T3 at 0%, 10% (24 hours biodegraded) and 10% (48 hours biodegraded) inclusion, respectively. The birds in each replicate were housed in separate cages in a completely randomized design (CRD). All routine management practices, including recommended vaccinations were strictly observed, feed and water were served ad libitum throughout the period of the study which lasted for 28 days. Performance indices such as body weight, body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio were measured. Hematological parameters were also taken; pack cell volume (PCV), red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HB), white blood cell (WBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and white blood cell (WBC) differential. Results revealed that there was no significant (P>0.05) differences in all the performance indices measured except in feed intake. Feed intake increased with prolonged period of biodegradation across treatments. There was significant (P<0.05) differences in the lymphocytes, heterophils and eosinophils across treatments. The study concluded that the dietary supplementation of 10% biodegradable cassava root meal at 24 and 48 hours did not adversely affect the performance/ health status of broiler chicken, however, for profit maximization, 48 hour biodegradation of cassava is recommended.

Gastritis sufferers at the Trucuk Health Center do not practice clean and healthy lifestyles to stop smoking because of addiction. The purpose of the study was to determine the correlation between smoking and the incidence of gastritis at the Trucuk Health Center in 2022. The type of research used is ex post facto with a causal research approach. The population of all gastritis patients May 2022 amounted 91 people. The sampling used is non-probability sampling by purposive sampling with a sample of 33 people. Collecting data using questionnaires and medical records. Then analysis using Chi Square statistic and Crosstable statistic. The results showed that at the level of significance = 0.05 with a value of (p) = 0.001. So that it is H0 rejected and H1 is accepted and it can be concluded that there is a correlation between smoking and the incidence of gastritis at the Trucuk Public Health Center, Trucuk District, Bojonegoro Regency in 2022. Smoking habits affect the severity of the type of gastritis experienced. Therefore, it is expected that health workers, especially nurses, can provide counseling to gastritis sufferers to adhere to a healthy lifestyle that minimizes the occurrence of recurrences and complications of gastritis.

Background: Hypertension was a silent killer which the symptoms could be vary in each individual and were almost the same as the symptoms of other diseases and it caused the highest death in the world. One of the fruits that could be used to reduce hypertension was dragon fruit which was rich in potassium and flavonoids. Objective: to determine the effect of giving dragon fruit juice on blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension. Methodology: Search articles used Google Scholar, Science Direct, Pro Quest and Semantic Scholar to find articles according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, then reviewed. Results: Ten research journals showed that the average systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased after being given dragon fruit juice by giving 100 grams of dragon fruit juiced using 150 ml of water and consumed 2 times a day with varying lengths of administration between 3-7 days. It decreased systolic blood pressure between 6.98-29.93 mmHg. The p-value results from 10 research journals showed that the pvalue was < (0.05).

Abstract. Growth of the pioneer grass Miscanthus condensatus, one of the first vegetation to be established on volcanic deposits, is promoted by root-associated fungi, particularly dark septate endophytes (DSE). Fungal taxa within DSE colonize the root of Miscanthus condensatus in oligotrophic Andosol, and their function in plant growth promotion remains largely unknown. We, therefore, comprehensively assessed the composition of the DSE community associated with Miscanthus condensatus root in volcanic ecosystems using the approaches of both metabarcoding (next-generation sequencing) and isolation (culturing). Also, their promotion effects of DSE on plant growth (rice as a proxy) were evaluated by inoculation of core isolates to rice roots. Here, we found: i) 70 % of culturable fungi that colonized Miscanthus condensatus phylogenetically belonged to DSE, ii) 7 orders were identified by both sequencing and culturing methods, and iii) inoculation of DSE isolates (Phialocephala fortinii, P. helvetica, and Phialocephala sp.) validated their effects on rice growth, particularly under an extremely low pH condition (compared to control without inoculation, rice biomass enhanced by 7.6 times after inoculation of P. fortinii). This study helps improve our understanding of the community of Miscanthus condensatus-associated DSE fungi and their functions in promoting plant growth.

Abstract. Aliphatic alcohols (AAs), including terpenoic alcohols (TAs), are ubiquitous in the atmosphere due to their widespread emissions from natural and man-made sources. Hydroxyl radical (OH) is the most important atmospheric oxidant in both aqueous and gas phases. Consequently, the aqueous oxidation of the TAs by the OH inside clouds and fogs is a potential source of aqueous secondary organic aerosols (aqSOAs). However, the kinetic data, necessary to estimate the time scales of such reactions is limited. Here, bimolecular rate coefficients (kOHaq) for the aqueous oxidation of twenty-nine, C2-C10 AAs by hydroxyl radicals (OH) were measured with the relative rate method in the temperature range 278–328 K. kOHaq values for the fifteen AAs were measured for the first time after validating the experimental approach. The kOHaq values measured for the C2-C10 AAs at 298 K were between 1.80×109 and 6.5×109 M-1s-1. The values of activation parameters (activation energy (7–17 kJ/mol) and average Gibbs free energy of activation=20 kJ/mol) strongly indicated the predominance of the H-atom abstraction mechanism. The estimated rates of the complete diffusion-limited reactions revealed up to 44 % diffusion contribution to the measured kOHaq values for the C8-C10 AAs. The kinetic data acquired here, and the literature data, for AAs, carboxylic acids, and carboxylate ions were used to develop a modified structure-activity relationship (SAR). The new SAR developed in this work predicted the temperature-dependent kOHaq for all compounds under investigation with higher accuracy as compared with the previous models. In the modified model, an additional neighboring parameter was introduced (F≥(CH2)6, using the measured kOHaq values for the homolog (C2-C10) linear alcohols and diols. Good accuracy of the new SAR at 298 K (slope=1.05, R2=0.75) was achieved for the AAs and carboxylic acids under investigation. The kinetic database kOHaq values in this work and compiled literature data) was also used to further enhance the ability of SAR to predict temperature-dependent values of kOHaq in the temperature range 278–328 K. The calculated atmospheric lifetimes indicate that terpenoic alcohols and diols will react with the OH in aerosol, cloud, and fog water with (LWC≥0.1 g/m3) and (LWC≥10-4 g/m3), respectively. The preference of terpenoic diols to undergo aqueous oxidation by the OH under realistic atmospheric conditions is comparable with terpenoic acids, which makes them potentially effective precursors of aqSOAs. In clouds, a decrease in the temperature will strongly favor the aqueous reaction with the OH, primarily due to the increased partitioning into the aqueous phase following Henry’s law equilibrium.
