RISK ASSESSMENT IN FINANCIAL DECISION MAKING ANALYSIS ON FISHERMAN PERSPECTIVE IN COASTAL REGION: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Mr. Swarn G Kanchan  , Dr. C. K. Hebbar
Published: June 2024

Assessing financial decision-making from a fisherman's perspective in coastal regions involves considering a range of risks. Market volatility, driven by fluctuations in fish prices and changing consumer demands, poses immediate challenges. Environmental factors, such as climate change and natural disasters, can disrupt fishing conditions, impacting yields. Regulatory uncertainties, including shifts in fishing quotas and environmental compliance standards, add complexities. Technological advancements may necessitate investments, while limited access to credit and interest rate fluctuations present financial risks. Study is done with secondary data such as case studies, literature reviews, books, blogs and internet sources. Findings show that it is reasonable to expect that conflicts in fisheries management will increase with time as human population grows and seafood demand increases.
KEYWORDS: Risk Assessment, Financial Decision Making, Fisherman, Population, Coastal Region.
Seasonal variation of nutrients in macaw palm (
Acrocomia aculeata
) leaves and sampling time definition
Authors: Dietrich Otto Herbert Schuhmacher , Clemente Junia Maria , Santos Márcia Adriana Carvalho dos , Kuki Kacilda Naomi , Barros Angélica Fátima de , Pimentel Leonardo Duarte
Published: June 2024

Macaw palm (Acrocomia aculeata) is a widespread tree in Brazil, and the oil industry has been increasing interest in this tree due to its high oil concentrations, rusticity, and adaptability to different environments. Currently, macaw palms are being domesticated and are in an early rational cultivation process. Foliar diagnosis can contribute to managing fertilization, but there is no protocol for leaf sampling. This study aimed to evaluate the seasonal variation of leaf nutrient contents and indicate an adequate period for leaf sampling. Leaf contents of macro (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S) and micronutrients (Cu, Mn, Fe and Zn) from composed samples of leaflets collected from the middle part of the tenth leaf were evaluated in 12 uninterrupted sampling times (January to December 2016). The data were submitted to analysis of variance. The distance from Mahalanobis and Tocher optimization methods was used to group sampling times of similar seasonal variations. Contents of N, P, K, Ca, S, Mn and Fe varied throughout the months. May and June are adequate to sample diagnostic leaves of macaw palm to analyze the nutritional status. Seasonal variation of N, S and Ca mostly contributed to the indication of leaf sampling time of macaw palm.
Book Review [Consolations of Insignificance: A New Zealand Diplomatic Memoir]

Book Review by Associate Professor Damien Rogers

Terence O’Brien, Consolations of Insignificance: A New Zealand Diplomatic Memoir, Te Herenga Waka University Press (Wellington, New Zealand, 2024). ISBN 9781776921393. 192 pages

The genre of the diplomatic memoir was almost certainly invented to tempt author-protagonists into transcending the limits of their obituaries to claim an exalted place in
some broader history by setting the record straight and casting their achievements in
the best possible light. This means some memoirs are downright excruciating to read,
especially when the author-protagonist never once got anything wrong and, even if they
did appear to make a rare mistake, subsequent events proved them correct in the end.

20-ci əsrin 1950-ci illərinin ikinci yarısından başlayaraq Azərbaycandan olan geoloqlar Xəzər dənizinin ən dərin bölgəsində yataqlar tapmağa başlayıblar. O vaxt Xəzər dənizinin dərin su bölgələrində kəşfiyyat qazma üçün texniki imkanlar yox idi, çünki dayaz sularda neft hasilatı qədim üsullar ilə aparılırdı. Beləliklə, yalnız sonrakı əsrlərdə texniki və texnoloji tərəqqi nəticəsində o dövrdə geoloqların kəşf etdikləri strukturlar yataqlara çevrilə bilər. Ötən əsrin sonunda yaradılan "28 May" İdarəsi bir sıra mühüm inkişaf mərhələlərindən keçib. Əvvəlcə kiçik bir vahid kimi fəaliyyətə başladı, lakin davamlı inkişafı və qabaqcıl texnologiyaların tətbiqi sayəsində öz sahəsində liderlərdən biri oldu. Müasir dünya iqtisadiyyatında neft və qazın əhəmiyyətini qiymətləndirmək çətindir, çünki ölkənin iqtisadi inkişaf dərəcəsi əsasən onların istifadəsi ilə müəyyən edilir. Xəzər dənizinin dərin yataqlı neft-qaz yataqlarının işlənməsinin ilkin dövründə quyular adətən yüksək quyu təzyiqləri ilə fəvvarə üsulu ilə istismar olunur ki, bu da laydakı artıq enerji hesabına quyu məhsullarının işlənməsini, istismarını və nəqlini təmin edir. Yatağın işlənməsi prosesində, inkişaf mərhələsindən asılı olaraq, hasilat quyularının iş şəraiti müvafiq olaraq dəyişdi.

Authors: ŁOSYK Hanna , PIERZCHALSKI Paweł
Published: June 2024

The paper presents the role of fire alarm systems in buildings and proposes a framework for an application supporting the operation and maintenance of fire alarm systems (FAS). FAS should be properly maintained from the first day of commissioning. The state of readiness during operation should be maintained at the initial level. However, during the working time, the properties of the systems deteriorate, which is related to factors such as: failures, human activity, hidden defects, faulty assembly or external factors. FAS malfunction is a potential threat to the safety of people, property and the environment. The implication of the solution will reduce risk and improve fire protection activities in buildings. The proposed plan to maintain the efficiency of FAS will also allow for the standardization of procedures and the increase in the overall safety of property, health and life, as well as the natural environment.

Published: June 2024

Students' self-confidence and learning achievement are two important aspects of education. This research aims to examine the role of peers in increasing students' self-confidence and learning achievement in Jambi City, Indonesia. This research uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The research sample consisted of 350 senior high school students in Jambi City who were selected by random sampling. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using structural equation modeling partial least squares (SEM-PLS). The results of SEM-PLS analysis show that peers have a positive and significant influence on students' self-confidence (β = 0.45, p < 0.001). Apart from that, self-confidence also has a positive and significant effect on student learning achievement (β = 0.38, p < 0.001). Peers also have an indirect influence on learning achievement through self-confidence. Peers play an important role in increasing students' self-confidence and learning achievement in Jambi City. Interventions involving peers can be an effective strategy to improve both aspects.

Studies of Social and Economic Development of the Russian Arctic at the Regional and Local Levels: Review of Some Relevant Works by Russian Researchers
Authors:   N. Laverov Federal Center for Integrated Arctic Research, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Maksimov Anton M. , Yakusheva Ulyana E. ,   Northern Arctic Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov

This review is an analytical presentation of the content of scientific articles and monographs published in the last few years and devoted to the problems of socio-economic development of the territories of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). Since the legal recognition of the AZRF, many empirical studies have been devoted to the issues of its socio-economic development. However, the literature review in them is limited to the selected narrow subject of scientific work. This circumstance creates an urgent need for a comprehensive analysis of currently relevant directions in the study of socio-economic processes in the AZRF. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the diversity of vectors of scientific search in modern Russian studies of social and economic processes in the Arctic. The limitation of the study is the significant growth of publications on the topics of interest to us, caused by the variety of private issues covered in the latest Arctic studies. Therefore, we have selected only a few representative works that reflect the multi-vector nature of Arctic research in contemporary Russia. As a result of analyzing the works, we have found that Arctic research is characterized by both thematic and geographical diversity. The authors conditionally divide contemporary Arctic studies in Russia into three directions: interregional comparative studies within the boundaries of the entire AZRF, regional case studies, and local studies (at the level of municipalities). It is important to note that within the framework of the last two directions of research the key contribution to the multiplication of empirical material and its conceptual understanding is primarily made by scientists from regional scientific and university centers. Another peculiarity of Russian Arctic research is the shift of interest towards the study of the urban environment, industrial centers, and urbanism, while economists and sociologists pay insufficient attention to the study of the rural periphery. The observed deficit of local studies of social and economic processes in the rural Arctic in the future may lead to the rapid development of this direction in modern Russian science.

Authors:   School of Business, International American University, Main Campus, Los Angeles, 90010, CA, USA, Javed Muhammad Awais
Published: June 2024

Air conditioning sales in Pakistan have scarcely risen in the recent decade. Air conditioning firms would face stiff competition in this stagnating industry. Some organizations realize that combining goods and services to meet consumer requirements and boost efficiency may boost profits. This Sovietization business model will shift distributors from product-centered to service-centered. Sovietization is not new in Pakistan's air conditioning sector, but it is not widely applied and some operations fail. Pakistan has limited ventilation and air conditioning business model studies. Successful Sovietization deployment requires understanding its components and their effects. This article examines the important success aspects of ventilation and air conditioning Sovietization in Pakistan and how they benefit stakeholders. The author will identify candidate success criteria through literature studies, expert interviews, and surveys. The Dematel approach ranks essential success elements. This research will improve knowledge of the Sovietization business model in Pakistan and foster innovation.

A Menu of Options to Enhance the Common Understanding of End Use/r Control Systems to Strengthen their Role in Preventing Diversion
Authors: Holtom Paul , Shiotani Himayu , Wilkin Sebastian
Published: June 2024

The diversion of authorized conventional arms transfers, including small arms, poses a persistent problem for security at the global, regional and national levels, and lies at the heart of the illicit proliferation of arms. Evidence from diversion cases suggests that differences between national end use/r control systems (in particular the content, format and use of end use/r documentation), as well as a lack of common understanding of definitions and information to be shared among relevant stakeholders, help to facilitate diversion. Therefore, States in multilateral forums have called for an examination of ways to enhance the common understanding of end use/r control systems to strengthen their role in preventing diversion. The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), and the working group on effective treaty implementation (WGETI), provide an opportunity to undertake such an examination. The issue of end use/r controls is pertinent for Article 11, but also Articles 7, 8, 9, and 10. This menu of options is intended as a ‘food-for-thought’ contribution to the work of the WGETI, in particular the sub-working group on Article 11, in conjunction with preparations for the ATT Conferences of States Parties in 2019 and 2020.

Tracing Illicit Weapon Flows in Conflict and Security Transitions: A Case for Managing Recovered Weapons in Somalia
Authors: Leff Jonah
Published: June 2024

International and sub-regional instruments encourage or require States to appropriately manage and trace recovered weapons in order to identify their illicit sources, understand patterns of illicit arms flows, and address diversion resulting from poor controls over international transfers or national stockpiles. However, tracing weapons recovered in situations of armed conflict and security transitions is a challenging undertaking due to insecurity and capacity constraints. In the context of Somalia, the requirement for recording and tracing weapons recovered in security operations is reinforced by the arms embargo to aid the Security Council subsidiary bodies in investigating violations. Somalia’s experience highlights the range of challenges that can be encountered in this respect, but also offers lessons that have relevance and wider application to other sanctions regimes imposed in similar contexts.

UNIDIR defines WAM in a comprehensive manner covering the oversight, accountability and governance of arms and ammunition throughout their management cycle, including establishment of relevant national frameworks, processes and practices for the safe and secure production and acquisition of materiel, stockpiling, transfers, end use control, tracing and disposal. This holistic approach is essential in ensuring that efforts to better regulate arms and ammunition are undertaken in alignment with broader security sector, rule of law, armed violence reduction, counter-terrorism, and peacebuilding processes, and not in isolation. Research emphasis is placed on national and regional approaches to WAM in pursuit of a national and regionally owned process, and to support a ‘bottom-up’ and evidence-based approach. This series of WAM Country Insights will help promote knowledge, and raise visibility and awareness on the WAM context, progress made, and areas for enhancement in the African States that have conducted WAM baseline assessments with support from UNIDIR. It aims to serve as a reference for donors and international partners providing assistance and technical support for improving weapons and ammunition frameworks in the relevant country. The launch of the series will begin on 29 October 2020 and lead to the UNIDIR-AU Regional WAM Lessons Learned Seminars, to be held in November and December.

Dental caries and periodontal diseases are the most common diseases affecting the oral cavity. This can be prevented by maintaining oral hygiene. Toothpaste plays an important role in the reduction of plaque bacteria and inflammatory conditions. Rambutan honey has potential as a natural ingredient to make toothpaste with antibacterial and antioxidant properties owing to the presence of hydrogen peroxide and catalase enzymes, pH, osmolarity, and flavonoid content. The purpose of this study was to obtain a rambutan honey toothpaste formulation that effectively inhibits Streptococcus mutans growth. The laboratory experimental research method was used to combine CaCO3, glycerin, Na CMC, SLS, sodium benzoate, saccharin, menthol, and aquadest as the toothpaste base, which served as the control group. Subsequently, natural ingredients of rambutan honey at concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 60% were added to the toothpaste base to create rambutan honey toothpaste. The formulation of the rambutan honey toothpaste was followed by an antibacterial activity test using the Kirby Bauer method of disc diffusion, where the inhibition zones formed on Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) medium were calculated. Data were analyzed using one-way and post hoc Tukey’s tests (p<0.05). The results showed that the formulation of rambutan honey toothpaste with a concentration of 60% had the greatest inhibition with 13.88±0.13 mm with a significant difference in each group (p = 0.000), so it can be concluded that rambutan honey toothpaste can inhibit the formation of Streptococcus mutans.

The participants were grouped based on type and duration of hormonal contraception use (combined contraceptives and progestin contraception) and their BMI was calculated based on their height and weight measurements. Menstrual abnormalities were recorded through the participants' self-reported data. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression models. Results showed that there was a significant difference in menstrual abnormalities between different types of hormonal contraception p=0.021, OR=2.398,  Women who used progestin only contraception had a higher risk of developing menstrual abnormalities than combined contraceptives. There was significance different of duration of use hormonal contraception with menstrual abnormalities p=0.037, OR=2.312 for a long duration (more than 1 years) compared to less than one year. Women with a higher BMI (greater than 25 kg/m2) p=0.038, OR=2.169 had a significant risk of developing menstrual abnormalities. The study concludes that the type and duration of hormonal contraception use and BMI play a significant role in the development of menstrual abnormalities. Women should be informed about the potential risks and benefits of different types of hormonal contraception and the importance of maintaining a healthy BMI.
