Authors: Tumewu Wandri , Bogar Wilson , Mandagi Marthinus
Published: November 2023

This research aims to analyze the quality of service in issuing family cards at the Population and Civil Registration Service of Minahasa Regency. This research used qualitative research methods, and 4 (four) informants were interviewed. The results of existing research show that the quality of service available for issuing family cards at the Population and Civil Registration Service of Minahasa Regency is still not optimal, because based on the results of research data, it was found that there are still delays in issuing family cards, which can take weeks or months. Then there are still various obstacles in processing the issuance of Family Cards, such as community power outages, internet or computer network problems. In fact, the public does not know and understand the conditions required for issuing a Family Card. In fact, there is still a lack of socialization regarding the requirements for issuing Family Cards to the community and existing human resources are still very lacking. Furthermore, there is still a shortage of Family Card forms at the Minahasa Regency Population and Civil Registration Service.

Authors: Onuoha Onyekachi Chibueze
Published: November 2023

This study compares the level of awareness and adoption of innovative agricultural technologies among members and non-members of cooperative societies. This is to direct policies on the diffusion and adoption of agricultural technologies to facilitate increased food production as Nigeria’s economy strives for post-COVID-19 survival and recovery. A multistage technique was used to select a sample of 320 constituting 160 cooperative members and 160 non-cooperative members. Structured questionnaires were used to collect primary data, which was then analysed using both descriptive (Mean, standard deviation) and inferential (regression, ANOVA) statistics. The results suggest that awareness and adoption of new agricultural technologies are higher among members of cooperatives compared to non-members. This study advocates that cooperative societies are veritable vehicles for innovation diffusion. Some challenges of the farmers were explored, and the study recommended that new technologies should be introduced through cooperatives using Small Plots Adoption trial (SPAT) and increased deployment of extension workers to farmers. Furthermore, Cooperative farmers and non-cooperative farmers should be persuaded by the extension workers in ADP to attend agricultural exhibitions where the farm outputs of new technologies are displayed together with the outputs of the old technologies so that they can see the obvious difference and adopt the new technologies.

Authors: Vasyl’yeva Olena O. , Sokolov Andrii V. , Lisnichenko Marharyta O. , Halan Olena Ye. , Butenko Tamila V.
Published: November 2023

The article examines the special socio-economic conditions of human potential, which forms and expands the flow of labor in the international digital labor market. The concept of the socio-economic dimension of human potential based on the unity of its components is presented. The hypothesis of effective use of human potential at all levels of its formation is justified by relevant HRM technologies that align the labor market situation with the rate of modernization of business, state policy, and social institutions, as well as the new nature of the digital economy's growth. It is also demonstrated that, in the context of the informational transformation of the labor market, the concentration, implementation, and effective socio-economic dimension of human potential form a consistent state policy, which is strengthened by the possibilities of territorial decentralization and is aimed at overcoming disparities in the use of human resources, reducing the gap between potential and existing social-economic level of development of the countries of the world. The authors also provide the sectoral structure of employment in Ukraine and the average annual rate of growth of the indicator level in the leading countries with a digital direction of labor market development, as well as comparative socio-economic measurement and forecasting of Germany's effective use of human potential, subject to the expansion of labor inflows and the improvement of the working capacity of active human resources.

Structured Electronic Design: a conceptual approach to amplifier design
Authors: Montagne Anton J.M.
Published: November 2023

Many people consider analog electronic circuit design complex. This is because designers can achieve
the desired performance of a circuit in many ways. Together, theoretical concepts, circuit topologies,
electronic devices, their operating conditions, and the system's physical construction constitute an
enormous design space in which it is easy to get lost. For this reason, analog electronics often is
regarded as an art rather than a solid discipline.
Structured Electronics Design:
- Defines a step-by-step design process and indicates which design question is answered at each step.
- Properly orders and orthogonalizes the design steps, based on solid principles from systems engineering,
physics, signal processing, control theory, and network theory.
- Helps circuit designers efficiently and effectively obtain the desired performance-cost ratio.
- Provides a solid foundation for circuit design education and automation.
- Has been developed and educated since the 1980s at the Delft University of Technology.

Authors: Tan Choon Keong , Lee Kean Wah , Radim Stennia Miga Ak
Published: November 2023

Teaching English Language in rural primary schools using Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has often been seen as a challenge for language teachers. In an attempt to better understand the difficulties faced, a yearlong study was conducted to investigate how 40 voluntary student teachers of a public university in Sabah use ICT and the multisensory approach to teach English. The study employs The Learner Centric Ecology of Resources Framework (Luckin) as a guide to observe knowledge scaffolding of students learning. Focus group interviews were employed to elicit qualitative data with some selected student teachers who participated in the selected primary schools in Kota Belud, Sabah. The results show that the majority of the student teachers were motivated to teach English using the multisensory approach because it helped them to connect English with the outside world via visual aids (multimedia). The student teachersâ€™ reflective journals also indicated that they were able to align the ICT materials with the proficiency levels of the students, create interactive teaching and learning materials, and use ICT to improve class control. All the actions taken by the student teachers prove that they are frequently updating each other in teaching akin to the Luckin framework. If this method of learning is practised by more schools, it would make language learning more interesting.

Published: November 2023

One or more kinds of intestinal worms infect more than 50% of people worldwide. One of the earliest diseases affecting humans is tapeworms correlated to Kaphaja Krimi in Ayurveda. They still have a significant role in global morbidity and death today. Erythrina variegate leaf Melluma (dry curry or condiment) is a traditional remedy for intestinal worms and this review’s objective was to investigate the effectiveness of this leaf Melluma in the management of worms. Information about worms was gleaned from Ayurvedic scriptures, contemporary texts and earlier research studies. Subsequently, a comprehensive survey of the literature was conducted for Erythrina variegate leaf Melluma, which was then scrutinized for their Pancha Padārtha (five elements of the herb) and pharmacological qualities related to the management of frontal sinusitis. Analysis of Ayurvedic Pancha Padārtha showed positive impact on derangement of Dōsha (body humors) involved in Kaphaja Krimi and the herbal formula’s anti-helminthic properties, stemming from their alignment with anti-parasitic, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. While the majority of studies have demonstrated the anti-helminthic effects of Erythrina variegate, reviewed articles have also highlighted additional qualities that alleviate the symptoms of worm infections. Based on the literature review and Pancha Padārtha analysis, the selected Melluma proves to be valuable in the management of worms.

La gestión de las competencias
Authors: Ramírez del Río Antonio
Published: November 2023

La política de Recursos Humanos basada en la noción de competencias proporciona un marco de referencia contrastado en las ciencias del comportamiento, así como en la práctica diaria de la gestión en muchas empresas grandes y medianas. En los medios especializados se insiste con frecuencia en que la función de la dirección de Recursos Humanos, no es tanto la de gestionar personas sino competencias. No obstante, adoptar esta perspectiva puede abrir una puerta al abismo si no se tiene una clara noción del tema. El presente artículo pretende aclarar el panorama conceptual referido a la gestión de las competencias. Para ello comenzaremos por definir las competencias y posteriormente propondremos un marco teórico para integrar todas las acciones de gestión. A lo largo del texto también aparecerán referencias a los trabajos de algunos autores que pueden contribuir a una gestión coherente y sistemática de las competencias de los Recursos Humanos.
El esfuerzo práctico e intelectual de aislar las competencias de lo que son las personas, puede resultar dificultoso y es controvertido. Desde el punto de vista de la gestión de competencias, los aspectos del individuo que deben concernir a la gestión, no son variables intuidas, o afectivas de simpatía o rechazo hacia la persona, sino aquellas relacionadas exclusivamente con el desempeño en el puesto de trabajo. Ello no quiere decir que se despersonalice al empleado o se deshumanicen las relaciones, la gestión puede hacerse con una visión humanista a partir de una relación laboral basada en el respeto y la libertad. Consecuentemente, la evaluación sistemática de las competencias significa evitar agravios comparativos al «medir a todo el mundo por el mismo rasero». Lejos de una dialéctica de enfrentamiento entre empresa y trabajadores, la perspectiva de las competencias, además de ser un potente instrumento de gestión, supone un factor de cohesión interna que proporciona criterios objetivos -y por tanto, consensuables-, que regulan las relaciones laborales.

Managerial capability and competitive advantage of event management ventures in selected counties in Kenya
Authors: Cheruon Rebecca C
Published: November 2023

This paper sought to determine the influence of managerial capabilities on the competitive advantage of Event Management Ventures (EMVs) in selected counties in Kenya. The events sector is one of the fastest-growing areas of the tourism industry. Despite its great potential and the positive impacts events have on a country's economy, it is faced with challenges like all other industries. With rising competition within the events management industry, competitive strategies help focus on assessing organisations' strengths, growth opportunities, and competitive threats. Traditional competitive advantage models may not wholly be applicable to smaller firms because they assume the existence of scale economies. Yet, small firms cannot compete with larger organisations in economies of scale. Managerial capabilities were discussed under four categories, namely, leadership, strategic thinking, people relationships, and problem solving. The sample size comprised 230 managers selected through stratified and simple random sampling techniques, respectively, and 15 entrepreneurs selected using purposive sampling. The regression analysis revealed that managerial capabilities (?=0.334, p=0.000) significantly influenced the competitive advantage of EMVs. Based on these results, the study concluded that managerial capabilities influence the competitive advantage of EMVs. The study recommends that managers should continuously acquire managerial capabilities, as these capabilities are a source of competitive advantage for small ventures like EMVs.

Authors: Neves Gabriela de Oliveira das
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo se dedicou a analisar as medidas assecuratórias no código de processo penal e o disposto no art. 91-A, do código penal, a fim de se debruçar sobre a possível inconstitucionalidade dos dispositivos. A partir de pesquisa bibliográfica-documental buscam-se analisar o sistema processual penal e as medidas de caráter patrimonial, os fenômenos histórico-culturais que os permeiam e as concepções e implicações do instituto em estudo. Os resultados alcançados demonstram claramente a incompatibilidade da aplicação dos institutos com a presunção de inocência garantida constitucionalmente, já que o ônus da prova acerca da ilicitude dos bens deve recair, por obvio, ao Estado e todo seu aparato organizado de persecução penal, e não ao individuo. Conclui-se que há emergência na releitura do dispositivo, quiça na declaração de sua inconstitucionalidade.
ATUAÇÃO DO FARMACÊUTICO NA GESTÃO EM SISTEMA ÚNICO DA SAÚDE

Os farmacêuticos fazem parte do sistema público desde a fusão do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). A Farmácia Hospitalar (FH) é um departamento clínico, de enfermagem, técnico e administrativo responsável pelas atividades relacionadas à assistência medicamentosa. O objetivo deste artigo é discorrer sobre os conceitos e aspectos históricos da Assistência como parte integrante do sistema de atenção primária à saúde, comportando também, uma análise acerca do exercício do profissional farmacêutico no âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). A atuação do farmacêutico na gestão da farmácia hospitalar tem responsabilidades importantes tanto no ciclo assistencial quanto nas atividades clínicas e multidisciplinares. Na assistência farmacêutica (AF), os profissionais farmacêuticos, em conjunto com equipes multidisciplinares, realizam importantes atividades sob orientação dos serviços farmacêuticos, visando não apenas melhorar a qualidade de vida do usuário, mas também alcançar uma prática humanizada e contextualizada. Logo, a metodologia utilizada foi um levantamento bibliográfico utilizando os seguintes descritores: Assistência Medicamentosa, SUS, Cuidados Medicamentosos, SCIELO (Biblioteca Eletrônica Científica Online), LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde). Inclui também conteúdos relevantes para livros, legislação, newsletters e monografias de 2019 a 2023. A assistência farmacológica abrange, portanto, uma série de atividades específicas do paciente, para as quais os medicamentos são o insumo básico. Destaca-se entre estas atividades a promoção da investigação, desenvolvimento e produção de medicamentos, bem como a seleção, planeamento, aquisição, distribuição de medicamentos e a avaliação da sua utilização para alcançar resultados concretos e melhorar a qualidade de vida. Quando o SUS se insere nesse campo, fica claro que ao longo da história a assistência farmacêutica existiu como coadjuvante das ações e prestação de serviços de saúde. Nos últimos anos, porém, tornou-se cada vez mais importante a gestão do SUS, à medida que os gestores tomaram consciência das crescentes demandas de recursos destinados à aquisição de medicamentos e da relação com a qualidade dos serviços de saúde. Sendo assim, a gestão dos serviços farmacêuticos no SUS se resume nas atividades do ciclo Assistência Farmacêutica e enfatiza que os farmacêuticos são os principais responsáveis ​​por garantir sua idoneidade por meio da utilização de técnicas como minimização de custos, análise de custo-utilidade, custo-efetividade e custo-eficácia, explicar e reiterar a presença e relevância da farmacoeconomia em todo o processo.
