SEARCH AND SELECTION OF OUTSOURCING CONTRACTOR FOR AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISE
Authors: PILIAVSKII Volodymyr
Published: November 2022

Introduction. The article is devoted to solving one of the important tasks of outsourcing – assessing the potential of the applicant company for executing the activity, business process, functions that the customer company must outsource because their independent implementation
requires significant time and resources. The algorithm of step-by-step selection of the outsourcing partner-executor starting from the study of the outsourcing services market is determined. The evaluation criteria by types are considered and classified.
The purpose of the article is to substantiate the methodical approach to the selection of an outsourcing partner based on the criteria of timely provision of services, their quality and efficiency.
Results. It is offered to carry out a verbal assessment of the candidate for outsourcers according to organizational, social, economic, legal criteria. It is established that among the economic criteria it is necessary to calculate indicators: timely provision of services, their quality and efficiency. It is proposed to compare the value of the assessment of the candidate's economic criteria with the outsourcing performer with the reference indicators. It is proposed to establish a generalized coefficient of economic criteria with the provision of weights and determine its numerical value from 0 to 1. The obtained generalized coefficient of evaluation of the applicant in the executor of outsourcing activity of the enterprise is compared on numerical intervals of the modified Harrington scale and the level of efficiency of use of outsourcing is established. It is noted that when the bidder does not meet the level of evaluation criteria, his application for participation in the tender is not considered, and the candidate in the contractor is refused to cooperate.
Conclusions. The highlighted positive evaluation of candidates is the basis for further tender procedures. According to the results of the tender, the outsourcing companies are ranked by the level of their generalized evaluation coefficient. Preference is given to the outsourcing contractor who offers the lowest cost of the task and has the highest value of the generalized criterion for assessing the effectiveness of customer service that uses outsourcing.
Key words: outsourcing, partner, executor, efficiency evaluation, evaluation criteria, algorithm, integral criterion.
A Study of the Effectiveness of the Self-instructional Material of the Foundation Course in Mathematics
Authors: - Bondu Raju
Published: November 2022

The present study results reveal that, the developed course content reached the target learners those who do not have mathematics at their formal education and those admissions made through Eligibility Test. Over all out of ﬁve criterion tests, the reference group showed better performance on three tests, and the experimental group showed better performance on two tests. It reveals that, the developed course content has the internal validity. Thus it shows that the self-Instructional Course Material in Mathematics is equally eﬀective with that of the Course Material studied by Intermediate students with Mathematics. The performance of the experimental group [post-test scores] in the achievement test in Mathematics was better when compared with pre-test scores of the distance learners taught through Self- Instructional Course Material. Further, the results show that the self-Instructional Course Material in Mathematics is equally eﬀective when the performance of experimental group was compared with that of the reference group i.e. Intermediate students with Mathematics. The study revealed that, the analysis of the data during the course development reveal that, there is no signiﬁcant diﬀerence on the scores of comprehensive and that of combined criterion tests. It shows that the course content as a whole is eﬀective and students’ comprehensive level.
White-tailed deer monitoring at Wilson’s Creek National Battleﬁeld, Missouri: 2005–2022 trend report
Authors: Peitz David
Published: November 2022

The Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network has monitored white-tailed deer over an 18-year period (2005–2022) within a defined survey area of Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield, documenting both a rapid decline and recovery in the population. The rapid die-off was the result of a region-wide hemorrhagic disease outbreak reported by the Missouri Department of Conservation that started in the fall of 2005, six months after we initiated deer monitoring. Although declines occurred 2005 to 2007, 2016 to 2017, and 2019 to 2022, the deer population still increased on average by 7.2% annually. The number of deer in the survey area ranged from a low of 14.9 ± 10.1 (mean ± 95% CI) individuals/km2 in 2007 to a high of 167.2 ± 57.4 individuals/km2 in 2016. The visible area surveyed each year varied between 0.7 and 1.1 km2 (coefficient of variation = 14.1%). Annual deer harvest data in the area nearby Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield exhibit similar trends to our annual adjusted counts suggesting that factors other than hunting maybe driving annual changes in deer population size in most years. However, these trends were not significantly correlated (r = 0.34, p = 0.33), so this relationship is only speculative. Overall, the increasing number of deer pose several problems for Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield. First, increasing deer populations add a level of complexity to implementing Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield Cultural Landscape Report recommendations. Deer preferentially browse native vegetation over exotic vegetation, promoting the spread of exotic species, and the success of tree plantings can be curtailed by heavy deer browsing. Second, controlling deer-related disease, some of which can affect domestic livestock and human health in and around the park, becomes increasingly harder as the deer population increases. Third, as additional ancillary data suggests, the largely unreported and costly deer-vehicle collisions in and around Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield have the potential to increase when there are more deer.
APPLICATION OF TEMPERATURE AND VEGETATION INDEX FOR SOIL MOISTURE DOWNSCALING FOR AGRICULTURE
Authors: B. Bett , G. Espinoza , S. Wekesa
Published: November 2022

Information on the soil moisture content in the soil is important for planning both for farmers and

agricultural water managers. The availability of this information is however limited owing to the expensive

nature of in-situ soil moisture measurements and cloud conditions that limits satellite derivation of soil

moisture and the availability of satellite derived soil moisture at coarse resolutions limiting their application

at local scale. This study applies existing downscaling technique which makes use of vegetation indices and

land surface temperature. The study compounds the technique with Harmonic Analysis of Time Series

(HANTS) to provide continuous high-resolution soil moisture. The case study area is the state of Nebraska

and the low-resolution soil moisture used is advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT). The use of HANTS

successfully produced daily soil moisture estimates without degrading the accuracy of the soil moisture at

0.09m3/m3. The Precision however, was observed to be slightly degraded owing to seasonal variations and

the different rooting depths within which the vegetation draws soil moisture from. Whereas the study has

been conducted in Nebraska, the same can be replicated in regions with limited soil moisture measurements.

The information is paramount for crop production forecasting, drought assessment and crop water

management since it provides near real time information. This study shows that soil moisture downscaling

can improve the resolution without degrading the accuracy. This accuracy was found to be within the

threshold required for global climate observation systems (GCOS) which is set at 20% of the saturated

water content.
CHANGES IN QUALITY OF PAWPAW (Carica papaya) FRUIT DRIED UNDER DIFFERENT PRETREATMENTS AND DRYING METHODS
Authors: Z.D Osunde , L.A Adepoju
Published: November 2022

In this work the effect of pretreatments and drying methods on some qualities of dried pawpaw fruits were studied. The fruit slices were pretreated with three pretreatments – ascorbic acid dip at 31 % w/v concentration, honey dip at 20 % v/v concentration and steam blanching at a temperature of 120 oC and dried using three drying methods (sun, solar and oven drying).   Sliced pawpaw fruits were soaked in the prepared solutions for 4 minutes, while the blanching was done for 2 minutes. There were control samples for each drying method. The samples were dried using the three drying methods until safe moisture content of below 6% was achieved.  The safe moisture content was achieved for sun, solar and oven drying methods after drying the sample for 6, 8 and 9 hours at an average temperature of 32 oC, 41 oC and 65 oC respectively. Drying curves were generated and the drying rate, proximate composition, vitamin C and β-carotene contents of the dried fruits were determined. The result showed that pretreatment methods used did not have effect on the drying rate however it has a significant effect on retention of nutrient. The fat, protein, ash and fiber contents are higher in pretreated samples compared to the control. The nutrient analysis showed that pawpaw samples treated with honey solution and oven dried had the highest vitamin C content (116.05mg/100g). while ascorbic acid treated and oven dried samples had the highest value for β-carotene content (12677.35µg/100g) The composition of the pretreated dried pawpaw samples revealed that they are rich in vitamin C and β-carotene (antioxidant) which makes them healthy and nourishing and also important ingredient in the food industry for the production of food supplements and other functional foods.

Published: November 2022

As a result of climate change, Somalia has experienced severe droughts in recent decades because Somalia is a water-scarce country in East Africa with arid and semi-arid environments. In this study, drought in Somalia from 2010 to 2021 was investigated. For this purpose, the agroclimatological data consisting of precipitation, air temperature, and potential evapotranspiration (ETp) were obtained and calculated in DrinC software. The Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) were used as meteorologically based to measure drought severity and analyse the variability of drought events in Somalia during the last decade. Most years experienced rainfall deficits and severe drought in the study area, but the worst years were 2010-2011 and 2016-2017. The results of the RDI and SPI variations showed that drought was most severe in 2016-2017 and 2010-2011, with the south-eastern region being the most severely affected. The results of this analysis should provide valuable guidance to future scientists, researchers, and national managers researching this topic.

Association Between the Degree of Lung Tissue Damage and Voluntary Breath-Holding Time in Adults After COVID-19
Authors:   Kaliningrad State Technical University, Borchev Kirill F.
Published: November 2022

Breath-holding time test is of interest to clinical practitioners; however, its diagnostic accuracy has not been sufficiently covered in literature. The aim of this paper was to study the relationship between breath-holding time and the degree of lung tissue damage in post-COVID-19 patients. Materials and methods. Medical documents of patients (n = 358) aged 38–86 years after COVID-19 diagnosed with bilateral multisegmental pneumonia were analysed. The degree of lung tissue damage was assessed using computed tomography. The association between breath-holding time and the degree of lung tissue damage in patients was analysed using two linear multiple regression models, one of which included sociodemographic and anthropometric factors. Results. On average, breathholding time in patients was 17.1 ± 8.1 s. Model 1 established а moderate association between the degree of lung tissue damage and breath-holding time (R = 0.331; p < 0.001), the model predicted 11 % (R2 = 0.110; F = 43.934; p < 0.001) of test variance. The predictive power of Model 2 increased by 2.4 % when the following variables were included: sex, age, place of residence, height, and weight (R2 = 0.134; F = 9.061; p < 0.01). A negative correlation between breath-holding time and the degree of lung tissue damage (β = –2.866; p < 0.05) and a positive correlation between breath-holding time and patients’ sex (β = 2.323; p < 0.05) were identified. Other variables included in the regression model (age, height, weight, and place of residence) produced no significant effect (p > 0.05). Thus, in patients with bilateral multisegmental pneumonia caused by COVID-19, the increase in voluntary breath-holding time was associated with the degree of lung tissue damage (according to computed tomography data) regardless of the patients’ weight, height, age or place of residence. It should be noted that, on average, men performed the test better than women.
Structural-Functional and Neurophysiological Aspects of Kickboxers’ Sports Activities (Review)
Authors:   Surgut State Pedagogical University, Belyakov Mikhail Yu. , Mal’tsev Viktor P.
Published: November 2022

The analysis of scientific and methodological literature revealed very few works on the neurophysiology and development of physical qualities in kickboxers. Papers of recent years focus on high-level athletes. However, the structural-functional and neurophysiological features of kickboxers’ sports activities in the process of perfecting their skills remain insufficiently studied. For kickboxers, the key physical abilities playing an important role in fulfilling sports potential and achieving high results include strength, speedstrength, technical-tactical, and psychological abilities, as well as endurance. In scientific literature, the psychophysiological status of a combat athlete is determined based on the methods evaluating sensorimotor reactions of different modalities and complexity. As kickboxers reach higher levels in their sport, we observe optimization and economization of structural and functional adaptation mechanisms in the nervous, neuromuscular, and sensorimotor systems. Studies on neurophysiological adaptive changes in response to physical loads in combat athletes (including kickboxers) reflect multidirectional results. For instance, it has been established that the activity of the sympathetic nervous system in combat athletes increases at normotonia during the competitive, while at sympathicotonia, during the preparatory period. Other studies demonstrate that this group of athletes has optimal adaptive reserves and higher adaptive capacity of the heart compared to representatives of other sports. A personalized training process with specialization in kickboxing should be organized taking into account athletes’ individual neurophysiological profiles in order to choose the means, methods and level of the training and competitive loads to achieve the goals set.

Published: November 2022

Well-functioning commercial banks contributes directly to the growth of any economy. However, despite the mitigating efforts by the central bank of Kenya, commercial banks have recorded a decline in financial performance as shown by reduction in return on assets over the period of study (2013- 2020), that is; 4.7% in 2013, 3.4% in 2014, 2.9% in 2015, 3.3% in 2016, 2.7% in 2017, 2.7% in 2018, 2.6% in 2019 and 1.7% in 2020. The study sought to establish the effect of supervisory review and market discipline on financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The target population comprised of forty-three commercial banks from which a sample of thirty-eight commercial banks was obtained using purposive sampling. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and inferential analysis. The 5% significance level was used to test the research hypotheses. The panel regression findings showed that supervisory review had a positive significant effect on financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. Market discipline had a positive and insignificant effect on financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. Market share had a negative and insignificant moderating effect on the relationship between supervisory review, market discipline and financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The conclusion of the study was that supervisory review and market discipline positively affected financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study thus, recommends that commercial banks in Kenya should adhere to the prudential guidelines on supervisory review so as to enhance financial performance in the long run.
CHINESE ETHNICITY IN INDONESIAN HISTORY TEXTBOOK
Authors: Sudarto  , Purwanto Danang
Published: November 2022

This study examines the revised 2017 and 2018 editions of Indonesian history textbooks published by the Ministry of Education and Culture. The research method uses a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach by Norman Fairclough. The research focuses on how Chinese ethnicity is in the narrative of historical textbooks. Furthermore, how are the hopes and possibilities for historical education to become a vehicle for pluralism, multicultural, and humanism education as the glue of the national spirit and strengthening of national identity? The study results show that there is still a lack of narrative about the role and contribution of the ethnic Chinese. However, it has been demanded to be bolder in exploring events related to the role and contribution of ethnicity. History textbooks as primary sources, representations, and discourses have enormous potential in fostering historical awareness, remembered history, invented history, and recovered history, which can trigger the strong roots of nationalism, including strengthening national identity based on historical facts.
THE ROLE OF REPORTING SERVICE FRANCHISE ARRANGEMENTS IN IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
Authors: Abdallah Alaa Saleh , Hussein Abdullah Dr. Salman
Published: November 2022

The current research aims to present and analyze the reporting requirements for service privilege arrangements according to interpretation SIC29, IFRIC12 and related standards, and to identify areas of deficiencies in relevant accounting practices in economic units, and to measure the role of reporting on these arrangements on the quality of financial reporting (qualitative characteristics of accounting information). The researchers reached a set of results, the most important of which was the operator's failure to recognize the infrastructure as a component of tangible fixed assets, because the contractual service agreement does not give the operator the right to use the assets, as the operator only has the right to access but does not have the right to use them, and therefore this criterion allows For users of accounting information to better understand who owns the infrastructure, The researcher made a number of recommendations, the most important of which was the need to develop the unified accounting system currently applied in the Iraqi economic units to reflect the appropriate treatments for service privilege arrangements and in line with the accounting concepts and principles adopted in international accounting standards. Seek to adopt international financial reporting standards and related interpretations and adapt them to the requirements of the local environment, especially the instructions of the unified accounting system, in a way that ensures the activation of sound accounting treatments related to service privilege arrangements.

Authors: Ali Noushad , Bangur Dr Peeyush
Published: November 2022

It has been stated that transformation is modern society's attempt to prevent extinction in the face of digital disruption. While it is critical for leaders to develop new strategies, business models, and organisational projects that embrace change, the true issue is directing their people through the transition from their present state to their intended future state. This necessitates constantly assessing progress and adjusting based on new information provided by emergent intelligence. During the strategy formulation process, the majority of these businesses rely heavily on their internal research and development teams or innovation departments as one of the primary sources of innovation. While small independent teams can generate impressive leads during the invention process, it is these organizations' ability to incorporate these leads into full products while incorporating other components that is truly impressive.

COVID-19, a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 infection, has many fatal complications related to neurological and cardiovascular events such as seizures and arrhythmia leading to cardiac arrest. The direct and indirect mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 played a significant role to generate its clinical manifestation. Near-sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a reversal of cardiopulmonary arrest in an epileptic patient which is very dangerous if not treated well. Here we present a 27-year-old man with VF and near sudden unexpected death due to status epilepticus (SE) and COVID-19 infection that was successfully managed in a rural area emergency setting. Prompt treatment in the emergency room followed by supportive management is important for patient survival. This rare and complex case possibly happened and should be differentiated whether the cause is COVID-19 or SUDEP to establish definitive management though the supportive management is still the same. Prevention of COVID-19 complications and SUDEP should also be done to reduce morbimortality.

The prevalence of ischemic stroke based on the American Heart Association (AHA) data in 2019 reached 77.2 million people. As much as 72% of post ischemic stroke patients got cognitive impairment. Vitamin D deficiency is often found in post-stroke patients and causes functional decline. This study aims to assess the relationship between vitamin D levels and cognitive impairment in 90 days post ischemic stroke patients. This study is a cross-sectional study using secondary data from medical records at Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta taken from January to March 2021. Cognitive impairment in 90 days post ischemic stroke patients were assessed using MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) and CDT (Clock Drawing Test). This study was analyzed through univariate tests and bivariate tests using Spearman correlation. This proves a correlation between vitamin D levels and cognitive impairment which is formulated by the value of MMSE (p=0.000) and CDT (p=0.031). The mean of vitamin D levels was 13.53±3.625. The proportion of hypovitaminosis D was divided into 5.7% of insufficiency patients and 94.3% patients stated as deficiency. The lower the vitamin D levels, the lower the MMSE and CDT values accordingly. In conclusion, there is a relationship between vitamin D levels and cognitive impairment in 90 days post ischemic stroke patients. Low levels of vitamin D result in more frequent and more severe cognitive impairments.

An 89 years-old female patient was brought in by the family for altered mental status and left-sided motor deficit. Medical history revealed high blood pressure for which the patient was receiving anti-hypertensive treatment. Upon examination, the patient presented altered mental status, dysarthria, dysphagia, left central facial palsy, ataxic tetraparesis with marked paralysis on the left side, bilateral Babinski signs, right-sided ophthalmoplegia with limitation of gaze in all directions, left-sided skew deviation, limited abduction and upgaze movements of the left eye, and bilateral ptosis (complete on the right side and incomplete on the left side). The clinical picture was thus compatible with a vertebrobasilar stroke. A possible diagnosis of Weber syndrome was suggested, given the left-sided hemiparesis and right-sided ophthalmoplegia. Both head CT and brain MRI confirmed this by demonstrating a right-sided thalamo-mesencephalic subacute ischemic stroke. No cardio-embolic source was identified on cardiac assessment. Consequently, the patient was discharged with antiplatelet therapy, statin and anti-hypertensive treatment. We provide a short review on Weber syndrome, emphasizing the correlations between the clinical pictures and imaging findings.
Children’s Balneotherapy and Physiotherapy: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow: a Review
Authors: Khan Maya A. , Pogonchenkova Irena V. , Petrova Maria S.
Published: November 2022

INTRODUCTION. One of the most important directions of the development of children’s balneology is the improvement of sanatoriumresort treatment of children. On November 26, 2018, the Russian Government approved the Strategy for the Development of the
Russian Sanatorium-Resort Complex, which aims to increase the availability of health resort treatment; development of therapeutic areas and resorts; effective use of natural therapeutic resources; and improvement of the material and technical base of health resort organizations. In recent years there has been a tendency towards intensifying scientific research in the field of children’s balneology: the problems of adaptation of children’s bodies to contrasting climatic conditions are being brought up to date; questions of medical climatology concerning the specific features of meteopathological reactions and the development of methods of their correction and prevention using both natural factors and hardware physiotherapy technologies are being actively studied; scientific research on balneotherapy – a traditionally widely used method of resort therapy – is being revived;
AIM. To analyze the history of the formation of children’s balneology and physiotherapy and to assess its current state.
CONCLUSION. An important area of pediatric physiotherapy is the development of personalized physiotherapy based on the provision on the maximum effectiveness of physical treatment methods applied taking into account the individual characteristics of the young patient’s body. Today, innovative physiotherapy technologies are widely included in individual medical rehabilitation programs for children with various diseases. Thus, nowadays, children’s balneology and physiotherapy have a good theoretical, methodological and personnel base for the effective solution of urgent problems in pediatrics. Advances in the study of the mechanism of therapeutic action of natural and artificial physical factors open up new prospects in the development of innovative technologies of resort pediatrics and physiotherapy.

INTRODUCTION. According to the Federal Statistical Observation of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, perinatal Central Nervous System affections are one of the leading causes of childhood disability. The development and scientific substantiation of new non-drug technologies for medical rehabilitation of children with perinatal lesions of the Central Nervous System remains the main task. A promising technique is Vojta-therapy, a method based on the activation of motor reflexes due to irritation of certain areas on the child’s body.
AIM. Scientific substantiation of the use of Vojta therapy in the medical rehabilitation of children with the consequences of perinatal Central Nervous System affections.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. Clinical observations were performed in 110 children with perinatal Central Nervous System affections between the ages of 2 and 12 months. The comparison groups were formed depending on the nature of kinesiotherapy: the study
group (n=55) – children who received Vojta therapy; the comparison group (n=55) – children who did not receive Vojta-therapy. We used clinical and neurological examination, INFANIB score, and SPSS 23.0 statistical analysis.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Analysis of the clinical and neurological examination data after Vojta therapy revealed a statistically significant increase in the overall motor activity of children. When the method was included in the rehabilitation of patients under the age of 4 months, the number of children with delayed reflex extinction decreased, at the age of 4-8 months, the appearance of coups and crawling was recorded, at the age of 8 months, the walking skill was formed in a timely manner. By the adjusted age of 1 year, patients receiving Vojta therapy were diagnosed with cerebral palsy 2 times less often than in the comparison group.
CONCLUSION. The inclusion of Vojta therapy in the program of medical rehabilitation of children with the consequences of perinatal Central Nervous System affections contributed to the reduction of pathological motor activity, improvement of muscle tone and the formation of age-related skills. The use of Vojta therapy in children with the consequences of perinatal Central Nervous System affections up to 8 months determined a more pronounced increase in the grade score on the INFANIB scale and helped to reduce the frequency of cerebral palsy formation by 2 times.
