WORK, RETIREMENT AND FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE: FIRE CONCEPT IN INDIA
Authors: Janetius, S.T  , Nawal P. Singh
Published: March 2023

Development psychology associates each phase of life with specific tasks, expectations and challenges allied to the particular stage of life. Just as every stage of life needs specific preparations to execute the task associated with that stage, the retirement stage also needs the readiness to enjoy that period free from regular work. The retirement period expects a person not to depend on the regular monthly salary to meet routine needs but to be financially independent to enjoy life in freedom. However, many people in India ignore this phase of life as a period of enjoyment and see it as a stage of burden. Many try to go to work in their old age and earn money for survival, or sometimes depend upon their children for their every need. Some even think that this stage is a period of enjoyment at the cost of their childrens money. Lack of financial independence of retired people in old age becomes a hindrance to both the elderly as well as the younger generation. Thus, economic dependence on children is seen today as a hindrance to the self (as parents) as well as the well-being of the younger generation (children). Based on the concept of FIRE (Financial Independence and Retire Early), this qualitative study used interview methods to collect data from employees from different parts of India to narrate their own stories as well as their acquaintances to explore work, financial security and retirement and the concept of FIRE in the Indian scenario.

Published: March 2023

The experiment was carried out in CRS, Nanded, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University, to evaluate the effect of chromosomal ploidy level on morphological, yield and quality parameters of introgressed trispecies derivatives of cotton. Fifty introgressed trispecies derivatives of the cotton genotype obtained in the BC1F21 generation of a trispecies cross of [(G. hirsutum x G. barbadanse) x G. arboreum] were used to determine the chromosomal behaviour, yield, morphology and fibre quality traits. During meiosis, variation in chromosome number ranging from 47 to 54.5 was observed against the normal chromosomal behaviour of G. arboreum (2n == 26) and G. hirsutum (2n=4x=52). Yield and morphologically, these derivatives increased significantly over the check varieties, while fibre quality traits, viz., upper half mean length (UHML) and uniformity index, were found to be inferior than the check hybrid DCH-32, however, it was followed by other checks, viz., NH-615, DHY-286 and PA-183. The fibre strength was found to be superior over all the checks. These results indicate that these developed lines had introgression character from species viz., hirsutum, arboreum and barbadense.

Published: March 2023

Mentha species belongs to Lamiaceae family is an important industrial crop, cultivated commercially on large scale. In this study, a common cultivar of M. arvensis with a high essential oil content (Cim Kranti) was investigated to determine the impact of drying techniques for 10 days immediately following harvest on the essential oil content and its chemical profile under three conditions: open field (S1), shade (S2), and ventilated chamber (S3). According to results, significantly higher essential oil (0.723%) with 77.58 % of menthol content was observed in freshly harvested crop on same /1st day of harvest (T1) than any other conditions. M. arvensis was harvested and drying in open field condition (S1) has showed 0.68% of essential oil having rich amount of menthol (76.86 % ) content on fresh sample (T1) which decline to 0.51% essential oil content with menthol content 76.88% at 10th days after harvest. M. arvensis dying in ventilated room (S3) showed essential oil (0.71%) and menthol content 76.58 % on same day of harvest, which later decreases upto 0.6% essential oil with menthol content 74.32% on 10th day after harvest. Results concluded that the best quality and high yield of essential oil of M. arvensis should willingly be distilled fresh just after harvest. It also indicates that postharvest processes should immediately followed harvesting with appropriate drying method to minimize the loss of high quality essential oil.

Authors: HOLOVNIA Olena
Published: March 2023

In the context of the study of the security environment, the losses of the Ukrainian economy from the complete destruction or damage of infrastructure facilities and leading production enterprises as a result of russian aggression have been analyzed. The author draws attention to the problem of preserving the production capacity of the economy in the conditions of war at the expense of the relocation program. Among the relocated companies, four types of enterprises are distinguished: large system enterprises, medium-level enterprises, micro-business and «craft production», IT-business. An indicator of the effectiveness of European integration measures is the level of implementation of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, which is assessed differently by the government structures and independent experts. The role of regions in European integration is characterized, among which Kyiv, Lviv and Vinnytsia regions take the leading place. The author believes that Ukraine can expect positive economic consequences from the status of a candidate in the EU due to the gradual impact of reforms and increased investor confidence in the country’s future. Attention is focused on the European integration potential of the civil society, which can participate in the implementation of the country’s European integration course together with state institutions in the key areas of European integration. The experience of the EU’s assistance in the post-conflict reconstruction of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the support of the countries of the Eastern Partnership, were studied. In the opinion of the author, the long-term reconstruction of Ukraine should be the part of the process of European integration processes, and the most important sources of funding of the post-war reconstruction of our country should be foreign financial aid from partners, in which the EU should be an active participant. Some European initiatives regarding the post-war recovery of Ukraine’s economy are presented. The author believes that the key aspect of the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine should be an organic combination with the processes of European integration and relate to the priority restoration of social infrastructure, the return of refugees and displaced persons to Ukraine, their full inclusion in socio-economic processes.

Trends in the development of production in the information economic environment indicate the need for its further effective functioning exclusively according to the innovative model. Innovative activity differs from any other activity of the enterprise by the presence of an intellectual component, necessarily secured by the property rights, correctly presented information about which can influence management and investment decisions. Accounting contributes to the formation of complete and reliable information about any activity of a business entity that has a social and economic effect.

The article examines the essence of innovative activity of enterprises and its regulatory and legal regulation. An analysis of the research and development costs in Ukraine by funding sources was carried out. The specific weight of the research and development expenses as a percentage of the GDP of individual countries of the European Union and in Ukraine was analyzed.

On the basis of current Ukrainian legislation and methodical literature, the objects and subjects of innovative activity are defined. The system of information support of the innovative activity of the business entity is given, which will ensure effective management and the adoption of high-quality management decisions regarding the innovative activity of the enterprise.

It has been established that the responsible stage of the accounting support of innovative activity is the substantiation of its objects, during the determining of which it is necessary to take into account the economic nature of innovations, the technological features of their creation and use, the requirements of regulatory and legislative acts regarding monitoring and control over their compliance, the need for information for analysis and evaluation of innovative activity and its forecasting according to relevant indicators.

The current method of organizing the accounting of innovation activities in terms of accounts for accounting for innovations by types of innovation costs has been studied, which will provide an opportunity to receive more complete, operational and reliable information about innovation processes at the enterprise for the purpose of further economic evaluation of the effectiveness of innovative projects and programs

Authors: Nyirenda Christopher
Published: March 2023

Objective: To determine if Body Mass Index would predict absolute CD4 count to suggest its contribution towards immune augmentation and viral suppression among the victims of HIV/AIDS. Design and methods: The researchers conducted a cross sectional-quantitative study involving 174 adult HIV/AIDS patient participants who were enrolled over a period of 18 months at Ndola Teaching Hospital in Ndola, Zambia. Participants were subjected to clinical assessments with anthropometry, viral load, CD4+ count and plasma fat measurements at control and repeated on a follow-up visit. The Wilcoxon rank sum analysis was used to analyze the quantitative parameters while the Chi square analysis was applied to analyze nominal variables by sex respectively. The main research question was addressed by establishing the association between Body Mass Index and CD4 count, adjusted for potential confounders using the multiple linear regression model. Results: The BMI was within the normal range for both male and female gender, although notably higher in the females [median=22.9; interquartile (20.4,27.5) kg/m2] than in the males [median=21; interquartile (18.8,23.9) kg/m2], p=0.01. The median CD4+ counts were found to be lower than the lower limit of the normal for the laboratory reference range of (500-1500 cells/ul) in both genders. There was a positive correlation between CD4+ count and the BMI in both unadjusted [Coef=0.05; 95%, CI(0.03,-0.08), p=0.00] and adjusted [Coef=0.04; 95% CI(0.00,0.07), p=0.03] models respectively. Similarly, there was a positive correlation between CD4+ count and the BMI [Coef=0.04; 95% CI(0.00,0.08), p=0.04], reported in the adjusted model for the female gender. Conclusion: Body mass index was found to be positively correlated with absolute CD4 count, and more substantively so by female gender.

Interdisciplinary Education Involving Chronic Pain Management: The Way Forward
Authors: Romm Marnin
Published: March 2023

Through evidence-based research and practice, interdisciplinary/interprofessional pain management is becoming the leading treatment structure for patients suffering with chronic pain conditions. Interdisciplinary assessment and management of patients incorporate different healthcare disciplines working together under ‘one roof’ to manage their patients in a collaborative and team-based manner. As such, understanding how to work within an interdisciplinary framework, entails educational resources to pass on the knowledge surrounding interprofessional clinical work. There are numerous philosophies and theories underlying why and how interdisciplinary education should be administered in addition to the reasons why these approaches appear to be of benefit. Ultimately, with reference to chronic pain management, interdisciplinary education combining students from different healthcare fields in one class is suggested to enhance the learning experience and ultimate goal of eventually providing their patients` with the best possible pain outcomes following intervention.
Lumbar Radiculopathy or Iliopsoas Rupture? A Rare Case of Iliopsoas Rupture Disguised as Lumbar Radiculopathy
Authors: Chhatre Akhil
Published: March 2023

Isolated iliopsoas tears are a relatively uncommon cause of hip pain in adults. Making a diagnosis can be difficult, as it may be disguised by other common causes of hip pain, such as intra-articular pathology, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and lumbar radiculopathy. This case illustrates a patient who presented with hip flexion weakness and decreased weight-bearing capacity who was eventually found to have an iliopsoas tear. This patient's situation is noteworthy because Patient chronic lumbosacral radiculopathy initially concealed the clinical presentation of patient iliopsoas rupture. A well-informed pain provider should consider the differential diagnosis of iliopsoas injuries in patients with hip pain that is refractory to conservative measures.

The Amazing Carrie Menkel-Meadow and What Wins When Passions Collide
Authors: Love Lela
Published: March 2023

Carrie Menkel-Meadow (sometimes referred to as “Carrie” herein) is famous in the dispute resolution world as one of the field’s founders. Her prolific writing on dispute resolution—negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and the variants of these major processes—evidences an unrivaled passion for the subject. A renaissance thinker, her intellectual explorations also extend to other areas such as women’s rights and restorative justice for victims of egregious wrongs.

Her multiple passions sometimes create dynamic tensions. For example, what happens if mediation norms threaten a woman’s rights? Or if mediators divert the focus of a dispute resolution process to the future, neglecting a horrific past?

This Essay, in Part II, comments on Carrie Menkel-Meadow’s career and scholarship and then, in Part III, looks at two instances where dynamic tensions arise when her quest for justice in chosen arenas collides with mediation norms. When incompatible passions collide, what prevails?
Feminist Legal Theory and #MeToo: Revisiting Tarana Burke’s Vision of Empowerment Through Empathy
Authors: Andrews Penelope
Published: March 2023

It is my purpose to ground this Article in ubuntu and the politics of radical love as applied to the goals of #MeToo and its pursuit of redress for victims of sexual harms. Part II explores the convergences and divergences of #MeToo with feminist campaigns of an earlier era. Part III questions whether a renewed quest for gender equality, largely spawned by a Twitter/social media campaign, may lead to sustainable change built on notions of empathy and restorative justice, which was the vision espoused by Carrie in her work and which influenced Tarana Burke when she founded #MeToo. Part IV examines restorative justice approaches in the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission as a way to address the harms of sexual violence. I conclude in Part V with possibilities and limitations in the restorative justice approach to redressing these kinds of claims.

Resilience conceptions in knowledge work in the context of the COVID-19-pandemic – Towards a relational well-being approach?
Resilience in workplaces has been examined as a feature that both maintains the sustainability of employees or organizations. By doing so, the resilience concept illustrates the assumptions and emphasis associated with contemporary well-being conceptions. The premise of this article is that the deepening eco-crisis requires examining the resilience of working life so that the perspective is broadened to the sustainable well-being of both humans and nature. The research material of this study was collected from knowledge workers (n=16) during the pandemic. As a result of the qualitative analysis, three conceptions of resilience that reveal different well-being propositions were recognized: employee-centered, community-centered, and relational-socioecological. This article presents the confluences and the contradictions between the conceptions and opens up avenues for the future administrative research.

In the current conditions of economic instability, the problem of regional space development in the Arctic zone, Eastern Siberia and the Far East, the regions where the main hydrocarbon and other mineral reserves are concentrated, is becoming more and more relevant. The main reserves of hydrocarbons and other minerals are concentrated in these regions. The integrated development of the mineral resource base on the principles of rational nature management, including the stages of exploration, production, processing, transportation, is the driver of the Russian regional economy development. The organization of raw materials centers (RMC) with regard to the development of energy resources and regional transport infrastructure, determines the effective development of the spatial economy. The aim of the study is to develop an integrated approach to the spatial development of the region by forming an RMC for achieving the national priority of efficient use of natural and economic resources. The achievement of the goal requires the solution of interrelated tasks, namely, the study of domestic experience in the spatial organization of regional economy; the analysis of the regulatory framework governing the functioning of specific industries in the Arctic zone, Eastern Siberia and the Far East in order to further socio-economic development of undeveloped regions, as well as the analysis of data on the current state of energy reserves in the Arctic. As a result, the study of the RMC organization indicates that their effectiveness is associated with the interaction of national and corporate interests and the development of a communication system. The interrelation of all components allows us to assess the multiplicative effect of the RMC organization on the economy of the region and the country as a whole, which determines the novelty of the work.
