Published: April 2024

Disasters frequently strike at any time of day or night, necessitating swift action and close coordination between various agencies. When a disaster response becomes increasingly time-consuming, the Armed Forces are frequently called in to assist. Despite the fact that disaster management is not the primary responsibility of the Armed Forces, however, the Armed Forces are frequently used as disaster response machinery because they have complete equipment, logistics, and personnel. In order to identify the logistics system available in the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF), this study was carried out with a particular emphasis on integration and disaster management in the Armed Forces. A qualitative inquiry methodology was used to complete this study. A protocol for conducting interviews was developed and used as a guideline throughout the interview process. Snowball purposeful sampling was used in this study, which included 13 key informants from the Army, Navy, and Air Force. These individuals work in the logistics field and came from all three branches of the military. According to the findings of this study, there are no job specifications and specialisations in disaster management in the MAF. The systematic logistics management implemented by the MAF, on the other hand, has made it easier to coordinate assistance during disasters. In addition, the strength in terms of knowledge, skills and discipline portrayed by the MAF personnel showed a very high commitment to achieving disaster management objectives. This advantage is widely regarded as the most important factor in ensuring that disaster response is carried out effectively and efficiently.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between drug usage and teenagers' perceptions of their parents' parenting styles. Specifically, the study aimed to examine how different parenting styles influence adolescents' propensity for drug use. Methodology: Data for this study was collected from 230 students attending three different universities in the area. Qualitative research methods were employed, utilizing a Biographical Questionnaire, the Drug Use Disorders Identification Test (DUDIT) to measure drug use, and the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) to assess students' perceptions of their parents' authority. Results/Findings: The findings revealed that adolescents with lower levels of drug use tended to perceive their parents asAuthoritative. However, neither authoritarian nor permissive parenting styles showed significant associations with drug use outcomes. Additionally, a notable gender difference was observed, with males demonstrating higher rates of drug consumption compared to females. Future Research Direction: More study should examine the processes relating parenting styles to teenage drug use. Peer, socioeconomic, and cultural factors may moderate the association between parenting methods and drug use, thus studies should examine these. Additionally, interventions to improve parental education and knowledge of adolescent drug usage prevention measures should be created and tested to reduce juvenile substance use

Caracterização da dinâmica de compra dos supemercados do tomate fresco no Brasil
Authors: Boteon Margarete , Moreira Marina Marangon
Published: April 2024

No geral, a cadeia de comercialização do tomate fresco é composta por produtores, intermediários/corretores, atacadistas e varejistas. No entanto, desde os anos 2000, ampliou-se a integração do varejo, especialmente os supermercados, na aquisição ou organização através dos atacadistas diretamente da produção, sem a presença dos intermediários. Para entender a dinâmica de aquisição do tomate pelos supermercados do Brasil, aplicou-se uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório com 15 redes varejistas com diferentes faturamentos. A principal observação foi que as redes entrevistadas de maior porte (TOP 50 no ranking da ABRAS) compram, principalmente, o tomate direto do produtor e, as de porte menor (entre a 51ª a 200ª posição) ainda mantém parceiras com distribuidores/atacadistas. A diferença básica dos dois grupos é que há uma coordenação capitaneada pelas grandes redes no controle da segurança e qualidade do fruto; enquanto para as de menor porte, esse papel ainda cabe aos atacadistas.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: Medical training has been reported to be stressful. Clinical branch residents were found to be more anxious when compared to other than clinical branch residents. Heavy workloads and long working hours usually contribute to stress, resulting in fatigue, depression, and anxiety. Aim: To compare depression, anxiety, and Quality of Life (QoL) between clinical and other than clinical branch postgraduate medical students. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Psychiatry at the Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS), Banaras Hindu University (BHU), in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. The data were collected from 150 residents through face-to-face interviews and by applying the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), and World Health Organisation Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF). The data were analysed using International Business Machines (IBM) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 23.0 software. Results: The present study found that the majority of residents were male 108 (72%), belonged to the Hindu religion (134, 89.33%), were unmarried (150, 83.33%), and resided in the hostel (118, 78.67%) during their residency tenure. The prevalence of depression among clinical branch residents was 52 (50.0%), and in other than clinical branch residents, it was 17 (36.96%) (p=0.633). The prevalence of anxiety among clinical branch residents was 65 (62.5%), and in other than clinical branch residents, it was 18 (39.14%) (p=0.002). QoL was better in other than clinical branch residents compared to clinical branch residents in physical health, social, and environmental domains (p<0.04). Conclusion: The study concluded that clinical branch residents were experiencing significantly higher levels of anxiety. Overall, the QoL of residents in other than clinical branches was better than their counterparts in clinical branches.
Surface and Subsurface Structural Mapping of Lokoja Central Nigeria Using Airborne Magnetic and Remote Sensing Data
Authors: A. F. Akpaneno, , M.D Tawey,
Published: April 2024

The main goal of this research is to evaluate the surface and subsurface structural framework of Lokoja and its surroundings using airborne magnetic and Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data by applying image processing techniques. To explicate our aim, the residual magnetic intensity (RMI) data was reduced to a magnetic pole (RTP) to centre the anomalies above their causative source after which, the data was subject to the first vertical derivative filter and 3D Euler deconvolution method with structural index (SI =1) where the subsurface structures were delineated, using Oasis Montaj software. Four (4) shaded relief images were created with light sources emanating from four different directions to identify linear terrain features in the SRTM data at a solar azimuth of 0° and a solar elevation of 45°. Others 90°, and 135° followed by creating a composite shaded relief image of all four. The PCI Geomatica edge detection algorithm was applied to the composite shaded relief image produced. After thresholding and filtering processes, structural lineaments were extracted from the edges of the image by subjecting it to the line algorithm of PCI Geomatica.  ArcGIS v10.7.1 was used to assign geometry to both magnetic and SRTM structures delineated. The resulting structural lineaments were subjected to Rockworks where a rose diagram that depicts structural trends within the study area was produced. The lineaments delineated allow us to decipher that the area is dissected by numerous subsurface and surface linear structures and these lineaments trend predominantly in the NE-SE, WSW-ENE, NW-SE, and NNE-SSW directions. Overlying the lineaments drawn from the pair of data sets showed several sites of structural coincidence that are thought to be structural continuation locations where subsurface fluids such as water will migrate directly to the surface.

Unveiling the Essence of ‘Doctorateness’ in Ph.D. Mentorship: Navigating the Humanity amidst Academic Pursuits in Academia
Authors: Nabwire Violet
Published: April 2024

The paper explores the tension between humanizing and dehumanizing aspects of doctoral education ("doctorateness") in Ph.D. mentorship programs. It calls for a shift towards a more humane approach that prioritizes integrity, ethics, and the well-rounded development of doctoral candidates. Universities traditionally aim to bridge knowledge gaps and foster ethical research, but a failure to do so can lead to a dehumanized doctoral experience. Scholars emphasize the need for universities to cultivate humane environments that nurture innovative solutions through quality doctoral mentorship. This approach equips graduates with the technical and emotional intelligence needed to tackle global challenges. The true essence of "doctorateness" lies in a humanized process that fosters research, innovation, and capacity building. Quality doctoral graduates embody humanizing attributes and go beyond mere technical proficiency process. However, the current focus on quantity often results in graduates lacking the skills and humanity sought by employers. Universities must address these gaps by developing programs that train postgraduates in a humane environment. The root cause of graduate unemployment lies not in the number of graduates, but in the lack of quality, integrity, and humanizing elements embedded in doctorateness programs. An exploration of "doctorateness" within supervision processes highlights deficiencies in program approval, supervisor allocation, and the lack of robust monitoring mechanisms. The current landscape falls short of ideals that prioritize a humane and transformative doctoral experience. The paper proposes steps to cultivate a more humane doctoral mentorship environment: Integrate humanizing aspects into doctoral program approval, prioritize supervisor consultation for manageable workloads, provide comprehensive training for new supervisors, Implement ongoing monitoring and evaluation throughout the doctoral journey. By adopting these recommendations, universities can foster a doctoral mentorship environment that balances academic rigor with the holistic development of scholars, navigating the humanity inherent in academia.

To help investors make timely and cost-effective judgments, financial reporting quality has been a pertinent topic of discussion in the global business community. It assists users in public organizations in selecting the best method for utilizing relevant accounting data. Research in the literature revealed that incidences of fraud and a lack of accountability result in subpar financial reporting, which undermines investor trust and shapes investment choices. Research indicates that a large number of colleges fail to incorporate audit quality into their daily operations in an effort to improve financial reporting standards. As a result, this study looked at the connection between financial reporting quality and audit quality at many public institutions in southwest Nigeria.
In this study, survey research approach was used. Twelve of the nineteen public universities in southwest Nigeria that were included in the study were selected through the use of purposeful sampling. A total of 250 employees who worked in senior management, audit, and finance made up the target population. A sample size of 201 was calculated using the Taro Yamane formula. There were 201 copies of the validated structure questionnaire distributed to the participants. Ninety-four, or 94.5 percent, were recovered. The reliability coefficients for Cronbach's Alpha varied from 0.724 to 0.991. The data were analyzed using both inferential (multiple regression) and descriptive statistics.
The results of the study showed that audit quality had a significant impact on the following: financial report timeliness (Adj. R2 = 0.516; F(201) = 43.597=; p=0.00); financial report faithful representation (Adj. R2 = 0.598; F(6, 183) = 47.930=; p=0.00); financial report understandability (Adj. R2 = 0.416; F(6, 183) = 21.735=; p=0.00); and the comparability of financial report quality (Adj. R2 = 0.390; F(201) = 21.102=; p=0.00).
The study came to the conclusion that financial reporting quality at public universities in southwest Nigeria is influenced by the quality of audits. To improve the caliber of financial reporting, the study advised public entities to include audit quality into their daily operations.

Introduction: As kidney function declines towards the more severe stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), the interactions between kidney, intestine and bone become increasingly unstable. CKD with mineral and bone disorders and secondary hyperparathyroidism would be developing. The aim of this study was to determine the phosphocalcic profile of CKD patients in Libreville.

Materials and Methods: This was a cross sectional study with 89 CKD patients recruited. A blood sample was taken to measure PTH, vitamin D, FGF-23 by ELISA method; calcium, magnesium, fasting blood glucose, phosphate and creatinine by spectrophotometer.

Results: Mean phosphorus levels were 1.3 ± 0.5 mmol/L and hormone levels 81.8 ± 26.2 pg/mL and 27.5 ± 5.0 ng/mL for PTH and vitamin D respectively. Significant hyperphosphatemia was found among 43 (48.3%; p=0.0135) patients. There were 59 (66.3%) subjects with hypovitaminosis D p=0.0000. Less than 50% of patients had normal blood glucose levels (p=0.0034). PTH was 99.4 ± 16.4 pg/mL in dialysis patients and 61.7 ± 20.3 pg/mL in non-dialysis patients, with a p=0.0000. Vitamin D levels were significantly higher in patients without calcium supplementation (29.5 ± 5.0 ng/mL) than in those with supplementation (25.1 ± 4.0 ng/mL, p= 0.0000).

Conclusion: Phosphate levels remained high in our study population. Vitamin D deficiency was found in the majority of our patients. It would be advisable to readjust the management of these patients in order to minimize the effects of hyperphosphatemia and improve life quality.

Agricultural Engineer’s and economists use a variety of engineering and economic principles for calculating a machinery costs. An effective farm manager must also know these principles, and apply them when deciding to buy, lease, rent or share machinery. Thus, estimating farm machineries operational costs becomes essential to farmers for sound investment analysis and useful in planning, controlling production on their farms. Therefore, study was conducted to estimate and compare operational cost of various combined tillage and sowing implement namely Rotary Plough with Seed cum Fertilizer Drill, Till Planter, Roto Till Drill and Strip Till Drill at Vaugh Institute of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, (Uttar Pradesh) and period of study consumed about 2.5 years to complete the research activities. This present study concluded that operational cost of roto till drill and strip till drill was noted higher 796.57 Rs/hr and 791.66 Rs/hr, on the other side operational cost of rotary plough with seed drill and till planter was estimated lower 375.40 Rs/hr and 673.66 Rs/hr. The result also shows that operational cost of agricultural implements significantly depends on their initial cost. Therefore, roto till drill and strip till drill has higher operational cost because of their higher initial cost as compared to other combined tillage and sowing implements. Thus, implements subjected to higher initial cost tend to increase the operational cost.

Over the years, the water quality continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate, in fact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) unsafe water are responsible for an estimated 485,000 deaths worldwide. Thus, this study aimed to determine the water quality of water sources in University of Eastern Philippines – Main Campus in terms of physical properties (pH, temperature, salinity, total dissolved solid), chemical properties (dissolved oxygen, total hardness, chloride, and potassium) and bacteriological (Escherichia coli) content and total coliform count. Samples were collected inside the campus: communal faucets, traditional water pumps, and water refilling stations. To determine its physical properties, a 900 multi-parameter was used and was performed in three trials from each samples. The six water samples have almost the same temperature and shows a salinity close to 0. There is also a presence of potassium, chlorine, total hardness, and dissolved oxygen. Furthermore, the TDS result, shows that the water samples are safe, reliable and suits the recommended standards of EPA. In addition, a bacteriological content was also performed using a 3M Petrifilm, observed for 24-48 hours and shows that the water samples have no presence of E. coli but has presence of total coliform. Thus, the water sources do not meet the level and federal standards for consumption. A clean and accessible water quality is also a fundamental human right and an essential step towards an improving living standards.
