Customer satisfaction at a selected retail pharmacy chain in the greater Durban area
Authors:   , Adat Nafisa
Published: July 2022

South Africa is experiencing an expansion of pharmacy chains. Globalization and deregulations have increased competition within the retail pharmacy sector. In this highly competitive sector, the most important strategy for a pharmacy chain to obtain customer satisfaction and maintain market profitability is attributed to customer-focus. The pharmacy chain needs to ensure that the customer remains the cornerstone of their business strategy and that they are able to â€œdelightâ€ the customer. Customer satisfaction has many benefits for the pharmacy chain, such as higher revenues, higher customer retention and increased market shares. Superior service quality and customer satisfaction must be promoted and maintained in order for the pharmacy chain to be the pharmacy of choice. The aim of this study is to measure levels of customer satisfaction at a selected pharmacy chain within the greater Durban area. The instrument to assess the customer’s expectations and perceptions of customer satisfaction is the SERVQUAL questionnaire, measuring expectations and perceptions according to five quality dimensions. These quality dimensions include tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy. Four hundred customers were surveyed using the SERVQUAL questionnaire. The respondents were selected using non-probability sampling within which convenience sampling was applied. Data is analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. Conclusions and recommendations are drawn from the literature and the findings of the study. The study shows that customers’ expectations exceeded their perceptions on the five service quality dimensions used in the SERVQUAL questionnaire. Improvements are necessary in certain customer satisfaction dimensions. Therefore, it is recommended that the selected retail pharmacy chain attend to these gaps and ensure that necessary strategies are implemented in order to offer superior customer service in the face of growing competition.

Avalglucosidase Alfa (Nexviazyme)
Authors: CADTH
Published: July 2022

CADTH recommends that Nexviazyme be reimbursed by public drug plans for the long-term treatment of patients with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) if certain conditions are met.

Nexviazyme should only be covered to treat patients who have a confirmed diagnosis of LOPD, are able to walk, and have never received Myozyme before or were unable to tolerate Myozyme during the first year of treatment. Nexviazyme should not be covered to treat patients who have known Pompe-specific enlargement of the heart muscle, have severe disease, or are unable to perform repeated forced vital capacity (FVC percent predicted) measurements between 30% and 85%.

Nexviazyme should only be reimbursed if prescribed by a clinician experienced in treating lysosomal storage diseases or other types of neuromuscular diseases and the price is less costly than Myozyme for the treatment of patients with LOPD.
Postpostdramske reinkarnacije klasičnih tragedij: Jelinek, Hertmans, Möderndorfer
Authors: Jacek Kozak Krištof
Published: July 2022

Tudi za postpostdramski čas je značilno spogledovanje s ključnimi formami svetovne dramatike, kot so antične in elizabetinske tragedije, ter z njihovimi temami, ki jih aplicira na popolnoma sodobne probleme. Izmed mnogih besedil je mogoče izbrati tri: Die Schutzbefohlenen Elfriede Jelinek, Antigona v Molenbeeku Stefana Hertmansa ter Romeo in Julija sta bila begunca Vinka Möderndorferja. Poleg razmerja do antike povezuje vse tri drame še tematska rdeča nit: migracije ter z njimi povezane nesrečne usode beguncev. Izkaže se, da je edina optimistična različica te teme nastala pri Ajshilu, vse tri sodobne drame pa bi bilo mogoče brez težav uvrstiti med tragedije. Takšna je drama Jelinekove, ki je nastala po resničnem dogodku iz leta 2012, ko je skupina migrantov protestno vdrla v Votivno cerkev na Dunaju in zahtevala zase in za sebi podobne človeka dostojno azilno obravnavo. Jelinek izkaže ves etični razkroj Evrope, ki se skriva za visokoletečimi ideali človekoljubja, dejansko pa ravna prav nasprotno. V tem primeru gre za razmerje med migranti, ki so pravi tujci, in pa Evropejci. Tujca, ki je že polnopraven državljan Evrope, predstavi Hertmans, le da svojo »Antigono« zaplete še s klasično zgodbo pokopa mrtvega brata, ki je v tem primeru terorist. Ta Antigona je še vedno tujka, a tudi že državljanka Evrope. Zadnji korak v tej smeri naredi Möderndorfer, ki pa kot migrante, torej kot tujce, obravnava ekonomsko ogrožene Evropejce. Nobena od treh dram nima izhoda in slehernikova usoda se konča tragično.
Post-postdramatic Reincarnations of
Classic Tragedies: Jelinek, Hertmans,
Möderndorfer
Authors: Jacek Kozak Krištof
Published: July 2022

The post-postdramatic period is characterised by a flirtation with key forms of world
drama, such as ancient and Elizabethan tragedies, and their themes, which are applied
to thoroughly contemporary problems. In this regard, three of the many texts can be
selected: E. Jelinek’s Die Schutzbefohlenen, S. Hertmans’s Antigone in Molenbeek and
V. Möderndorfer’s Romeo and Juliet Were Refugees. In addition to their relationship to
antiquity, all three plays are linked by a thematic thread: migration and the unfortunate
fate of refugees. It turns out that the only optimistic version of this theme came from
Aeschylus, and all three contemporary plays could easily be classified as tragedies.
Jelinek’s play is based on an actual event from 2012 when a group of migrants stormed
the Votive Church in Vienna in protest and demanded decent asylum treatment for
themselves and others like them. Jelinek exposes the whole ethical decay of Europe,
which hides behind high-flying ideals of humanitarianism but does the exact opposite. In this case, it is the relationship between migrants – the real foreigners – and Europeans. Hertmans introduces a foreigner, who is already a fully-fledged citizen of Europe, only to complicate his Antigone with the classic story of the burial of a dead brother, who in this case is a terrorist. Möderndorfer takes the final step in this direction by treating economically deprived European citizens as migrants, i.e., as foreigners. None of the three plays has a way out, and the fate of the everyman ends tragically.
Ambientalna avtorska drama
Authors: Strejčková Hana
Published: July 2022

Prispevek obravnava vlogo dramatikov v sodobni ambientalni drami ter vlogo režiserjev
ambientalnih uprizoritev. Raziskava se osredotoča na tri poglavitna področja: na avtorsko dramo, ki temelji na novejši zgodovini dvajsetega stoletja; na performativni potencial skupnosti in ustne zgodovine ter na sodobno ambientalno dramo. Kot dramatičarka se avtorica osredotoča na spomine in družbene tabujske teme, kot režiserka pa raziskuje pristope, kako spomine na kraje, zbirke podatkov iz ustne zgodovine ter pereča vprašanja preoblikovati v gledališki jezik. Preučuje razmerja med dramatiki in ambientalnimi uprizoritvami. Opazuje povezave med temo, sredstvi komunikacije in negledališkimi prostori. Longitudinalna kvalitativna umetniška raziskava temelji na izkušnjah iz gledališke prakse, analizi in primerjavi teoretskega znanja. Avtorica navaja primere avtorskih iger in poročil o njihovih uprizoritvah, konkretno gre za naslednje drame: Polnoč v obmejnem prostoru (3./4. maj 1950, samostan), Trije stoli (Alzheimerjeva bolezen, dom upokojencev), Od Majdalenke do Madle (druga svetovna vojna, klet) in Hotel na vogalu (1932–1989, stara gledališka stavba).
Raziskava izpostavlja potrebo po ustvarjalnem in pozornem pristopu avtorjev –dramatikov, dramaturgov in režiserjev – da lahko iz dualnosti običajnega in tabujskega ustvarijo povsem nov svet. Kombinacija močne teme, nenavadne lokacije, povezane s temo drame, in participativne vloge (aktivne/pasivne) občinstva se lahko izkaže za učinkovito strategijo in celo za »taktiko« krepitve avtorjeve vloge v drami po letu 2000.
Gestus in tabu: študija Bertolta Brechta
Authors: Benedičič Luka
Published: July 2022

V eseju naslovim Brechtov koncept gestusa in predlagam njegovo izvirno branje, vzporedno z Barthesovo semiološko teorijo. Predlagam pogled, da neka gesta postane gestus, ko je interpelirana v mit. Od tod sledi, da tudi gestus interpelira v odnose, kar je istočasno njegova povezovalna in razdiralna moč. Z vpeljavo in interpretacijo Brechtove potujitvene metode tematiziram in opredelim njegov odnos do ideologije in etike oz. morale. Predstavim nekaj pogledov iz teorije rituala ter v doseženi razprtosti tega pojma identificiram nekaj njegovih ključnih potez, ki jih nato prepoznavam v Brechtovem epskem gledališču. To počnem z zavedanjem ontoloških razlik med ritualom in gledališčem ter brez želje, da bi Brechtovo gledališče umestil na neki specifični lokus v razmerju ritual-gledališče. Moj namen je ob razmišljanju o tem razmerju še bolj raziskati konceptualno in praktično naravo Brechtove potujitvene metode. Njeno eksperimentalno in pedagoško moč prepoznavam v vztrajnem, repetitivnem interveniranju v družbene mite in tabuje, ki pa ni le stvar metode, ampak je tudi stvar učenja in prakticiranja specifične ontologije.
Radar observations of winds, waves and tides in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere over South Georgia island (54° S, 36° W) and comparison with WACCM simulations

Published: July 2022

Abstract. The mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) is a dynamic layer of the earth's atmosphere. This region marks the interface at which neutral atmosphere dynamics begin to influence the upper atmosphere and ionosphere. However, our understanding of this region and our ability to accurately simulate it in global circulation models (GCMs) is limited by a lack of observations, especially in remote locations. To this end, a meteor radar was deployed from 2016 to 2020 on the remote mountainous island of South Georgia (54∘ S, 36∘ W) in the Southern Ocean. In this study we use these new measurements to characterise the fundamental dynamics of the MLT above South Georgia including large-scale winds, solar tides, planetary waves (PWs), and mesoscale gravity waves (GWs). We first present an improved method for time–height localisation of radar wind measurements and characterise the large-scale MLT winds. We then determine the amplitudes and phases of the diurnal (24 h), semidiurnal (12 h), terdiurnal (8 h), and quardiurnal (6 h) solar tides at this latitude. We find very large amplitudes up to 30 m s−1 for the quasi 2 d PW in summer and, combining our measurements with the meteor SAAMER radar in Argentina, show that the dominant modes of the quasi 5, 10, and 16 d PWs are westward 1 and 2. We investigate and compare wind variance due to both large-scale “resolved” GWs and small-scale “sub-volume” GWs in the MLT and characterise their seasonal cycles. Last, we use our radar observations and satellite temperature observations from the Microwave Limb Sounder to test a climatological simulation of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM). We find that WACCM exhibits a summertime mesopause near 80 km altitude that is around 10 K warmer and 10 km lower in altitude than observed. Above 95 km altitude, summertime meridional winds in WACCM reverse to poleward, but this not observed in radar observations in this altitude range. More significantly, we find that wintertime zonal winds between 85 to 105 km altitude are eastward up to 40 m s−1 in radar observations, but in WACCM they are westward up to 20 m s−1. We propose that this large discrepancy may be linked to the impacts of secondary GWs (2GWs) on the residual circulation, which are not included in most global models, including WACCM. These radar measurements can therefore provide vital constraints that can guide the development of GCMs as they extend upwards into this important region of the atmosphere.

Published: July 2022

Abstract. In this work we present airborne in situ trace gas
observations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the sum of
organic hydroperoxides over Europe during the Chemistry of the Atmosphere –
Field Experiments in Europe (CAFE-EU, also known as BLUESKY) aircraft
campaign using a wet chemical monitoring system, the HYdrogen Peroxide and
Higher Organic Peroxide (HYPHOP) monitor. The campaign took place in
May–June 2020 over central and southern Europe with two additional flights
dedicated to the North Atlantic flight corridor. Airborne measurements were
performed on the High Altitude and LOng-range (HALO) research operating out
of Oberpfaffenhofen (southern Germany). We report average mixing ratios for
H2O2 of 0.32 ± 0.25, 0.39 ± 0.23
and 0.38 ± 0.21 ppbv in the upper and middle troposphere and the
boundary layer over Europe, respectively. Vertical profiles of measured
H2O2 reveal a significant decrease, in particular above the
boundary layer, contrary to previous observations, most likely due to cloud
scavenging and subsequent rainout of soluble species. In general, the
expected inverted C-shaped vertical trend with maximum hydrogen peroxide
mixing ratios at 3–7 km was not found during BLUESKY. This deviates from
observations during previous airborne studies over Europe, i.e., 1.64 ± 0.83 ppbv during the HOOVER campaign and 1.67 ± 0.97 ppbv during UTOPIHAN-ACT II/III. Simulations with the global
chemistry–transport model EMAC partly reproduce the strong effect of rainout
loss on the vertical profile of H2O2. A sensitivity study without
H2O2 scavenging performed using EMAC confirms the strong influence
of clouds and precipitation scavenging on hydrogen peroxide concentrations.
Differences between model simulations and observations are most likely due
to difficulties in the simulation of wet scavenging processes due to the
limited model resolution.
The semi-annual oscillation (SAO) in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS)
Authors: Shangguan Ming , Wang Wuke
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Both the scientific and operational communities are increasingly interested in subseasonal to seasonal variations of weather and climate. The semi-annual oscillation (SAO) has been studied extensively at the surface as well as in the middle atmosphere (upper stratosphere and the lower mesosphere). However, the SAO in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) has been less discussed. Here we find evident SAO of temperature in the UTLS (250–175 hPa) from the subtropics to middle latitudes (22.5–42.5∘) using high-quality satellite measurements, reanalysis data, and model simulations. We show the mechanism of its formation by an energy budget analysis. The temperature in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) UTLS shows the first peak in February according to the dynamical heating and shows the second peak in July due to the dynamical heating and moist processes. Similar to the NH, the austral winter time maximum temperature in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) is related to dynamical heating and the austral summer time maximum is related to both moisture and dynamical heating in the UTLS. Model simulations indicate that the SAO in the UTLS is partly affected by the existence of an SAO in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the SH mid-latitudes and weakly affected by the SAO in SSTs in the NH mid-latitudes.

Abstract. To investigate the physio-chemical properties of aerosol transported from
major pollution regions in China, observations were conducted
∼ 200 m above the ground at the junction location of the North
China Plain and Fenwei Basin, which are two regions of top priority for
China's Blue Sky Campaign. We identified three pollution transport sectors
including those from Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH), urban Guanzhong Basin
(GZB) and northern China and one clean transport sector from the rural Guanzhong
Basin region. Secondary inorganic aerosol (SIA) constituted a major fraction (39 %–46 %) in all pollution transport sectors, with a high sulfur oxidation
ratio (0.44–0.58) and a high nitrogen oxidation ratio (0.24–0.29), suggesting
efficient formation of secondary inorganic aerosol during regional
transport. More oxidized oxygenated organic aerosol (MO-OOA) played a
dominant role in the source of organic aerosol in all sectors including the
clean one, accounting for 42 %–58 % of total organic aerosol. Elemental
analysis (O and C) shows that aerosol particles at this receptor site were
much more oxidized than in urban regions, pointing that long-range transport
contributed markedly to the organic aerosol oxidation and aging. Case
studies of pollution events with high sulfate, nitrate and more-oxidized
oxygenated organic aerosol production rate indicate the strong formation
efficiency of secondary aerosol during regional transport in the
Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei transport sector.
Limits and CO2 equilibration of near-coast alkalinity enhancement
Authors: He Jing , Tyka Michael Dominik
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) has recently gained attention as a potential method for negative emissions at gigatonne scale, with near-coast OAE operations being economically favorable due to proximity to mineral and energy sources. In this paper we study critical questions which determine the scale and viability of OAE: Which coastal locations are able to sustain a large flux of alkalinity at minimal pH and ΩArag (aragonite saturation) changes? What is the interference distance between adjacent OAE projects? How much CO2 is absorbed per unit of alkalinity added? How quickly does the induced CO2 deficiency equilibrate with the atmosphere? Using the LLC270 (0.3deg) ECCO global circulation model we find that the steady-state OAE rate varies over 1–2 orders of magnitude between different coasts and exhibits complex patterns and non-local dependencies which vary from region to region. In general, OAE in areas of strong coastal currents allow the largest fluxes and depending on the direction of coastal currents, neighboring OAE sites can exhibit dependencies as far as 400 km or more. We found that within relatively conservative constraints set on ∆pH or ∆Omega, most regional stretches of coastline are able to accommodate on the order of tens to hundreds of megatonnes of negative emissions within 300 km of the coast. We conclude that near-coastal OAE has the potential to scale globally to several GtCO2/yr of drawdown with conservative pH constraints, if the effort is spread over the majority of available coastlines. Depending on the location, we find a diverse set of equilibration kinetics, determined by the interplay of gas exchange and surface residence time. Most locations reach an uptake-efficiency plateau of 0.6–0.8mol CO2 per mol of alkalinity after 3–4 years, after which there is little further CO2 uptake. The most ideal locations, reaching an uptake of around 0.8 include north Madagascar, San Francisco, Brazil, Peru and locations close to the southern ocean such as Tasmania, Kerguelen and Patagonia, where the gas exchange appears to occur faster than the surface residence time. Some locations (e.g. Hawaii) take significantly longer to equilibrate (up to 8–10 years), though can still eventually achieve high uptake. If the alkalinity released advects into regions of significant downwelling (e.g. around Iceland) up to half of the OAE potential can be lost to bottom waters.
Linking levee-building processes with channel avulsion: geomorphic analysis for assessing avulsion frequency and channel reoccupation
Authors: Han Jeongyeon , Kim Wonsuck
Published: July 2022

Abstract. A natural levee is a typical wedge-shaped deposit adjacent to a river channel. Given its location and distinctive features, the levee can serve as a key to revealing depositional processes of the coupled channel to floodplain system preserved in the rock record. Levee–floodplain topographic evolution is also closely linked to river avulsion processes which can cause catastrophic floods. Nonetheless, the levee geometry and its aggradation pattern on the floodplain have not been fully incorporated in the study of avulsion. Here, we present a levee-building model using advection settling of suspended sediment to reproduce the evolution of a fluvial levee over floods and to examine the effects of boundary conditions on levee geometry and the grain-size trend of the levee deposit. We further investigate river avulsion frequencies and potential channel reoccupation associated with the grain-size distribution of overbank sediment flux and the overflow velocity into the floodplain, both of which can control the levee geometry, especially the aggradation rate at the levee crest. In the modeling results, the levee develops (1) a concave-up profile, (2) an exponential decrease in grain size of the deposit away from the main channel, and (3) a relatively steeper shape for coarser sediment supply and vice versa. The subsequent scaling analysis supports that the input grain size to the floodplain and levee profile slope are positively correlated with the avulsion frequency, whereas the overflow velocity is inversely proportional to the avulsion frequency. In connection with the avulsion styles and levee geometry, we suggest that relatively steeper levee slopes tend to promote more reoccupations of preexisting floodplain channels as protecting abandoned channels from topographic healing, but relatively gentler levees are likely to create a new avulsion channel as their remnant channels are more vulnerable to the removal of topographic memory. The insights drawn from the current modeling work may thus have potential implications for reconstructing paleoenvironments in regard to river sediment transport and flood dynamics via levee deposits. Based on the roles of natural levees on the avulsion frequency and channel reoccupation, the flood hazards triggered by river avulsions as well as the alluvial architecture in sedimentary records can be better assessed.
Embedding a one-column ocean model in the Community Atmosphere Model 5.3 to improve Madden–Julian Oscillation simulation in boreal winter
Authors: Lan Yung-Yao , Hsu Huang-Hsiung , Tseng Wan-Ling , Jiang Li-Chiang
Published: July 2022

Abstract. The effect of the air–sea interaction on the Madden–Julian Oscillation
(MJO) was investigated using the one-column ocean model
Snow–Ice–Thermocline (SIT 1.06) embedded in the Community Atmosphere Model
5.3 (CAM5.3; hereafter CAM5–SIT v1.0). The SIT model with 41 vertical
layers was developed to simulate sea surface temperature (SST) and
upper-ocean temperature variations with a high vertical resolution that
resolves the cool skin and diurnal warm layer and the upper oceanic
temperature gradient. A series of 30-year sensitivity experiments were
conducted in which various model configurations (e.g., coupled versus
uncoupled, vertical resolution and depth of the SIT model, coupling domains,
and absence of the diurnal cycle) were considered to evaluate the effect of
air–sea coupling on MJO simulation. Most of the CAM5–SIT experiments
exhibit higher fidelity than the CAM5-alone experiment in characterizing the
basic features of the MJO such as spatiotemporal variability and the
eastward propagation in boreal winter. The overall MJO simulation
performance of CAM5–SIT benefits from (1) better resolving the fine
vertical structure of upper-ocean temperature and therefore the air–sea
interaction that results in more realistic intraseasonal variability in both
SST and atmospheric circulation and (2) the adequate thickness of a
vertically gridded ocean layer. The sensitivity experiments demonstrate the
necessity of coupling the tropical eastern Pacific in addition to the
tropical Indian Ocean and the tropical western Pacific. Coupling is more
essential in the south than north of the Equator in the tropical western
Pacific. Enhanced MJO could be obtained without considering the diurnal
cycle in coupling.
Reconstruction of wind and surge of the 1906 storm tide at the German North Sea coast
Authors: Meyer Elke Magda Inge , Weisse Ralf , Grabemann Iris , Tinz Birger , Scholz Robert
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Storm tides represent a major threat to the low-lying German North Sea
coast. Knowledge of extremes is essential for the design of reliable and
robust coastal defences. A storm tide that occurred on 12–13 March 1906
along the German Bight coastline still represents one of the strongest
events on record. For this event, detailed knowledge of atmospheric and
hydrodynamic conditions is still lacking. To assess the potential impact of
such an event on today's coastline, century-long atmospheric reanalysis data
together with a manual synoptic reconstruction based on archived weather
data were used to drive a tide-surge model and to simulate water levels
during the event. Sensitivity experiments were performed to estimate
potential amplification of water levels that could have been caused by
different time lags between the storm and the astronomical tide. Comparison
between the model results and the limited available observational data
indicated that the water levels could be reasonably reconstructed using
wind fields from the manual synoptic approach and some of the reanalysis
ensemble members. The amplification potential was found to be low because
the storm occurred during spring tide and shifts in the phase of the
astronomic tide yielded only small changes in total water levels. To
summarise, if pressure data are available at relevant locations, historical
storm surges can be simulated with reanalysis products and also with a
manual synoptic reconstruction.

El futuro de las relaciones laborales en tiempos de pandemia
Authors: Hyman Richard
Published: July 2022

En este artículo, ofrezco una lectura del contexto europeo en la tercera década del siglo XXI. Discuto, en primer lugar, hasta qué punto persisten “las variedades del capitalismo” y las implicaciones para los sindicatos de los cambios en los regímenes de relaciones laborales. En segundo lugar, considero algunas de las ambigüedades de la regulación de la UE. ¿Es la “Europa Social” todavía un baluarte contra la liberalización del mercado? En tercer lugar, recurro a Polanyi para examinar el aumento de las situaciones de trabajo precario, incluida la aparición de la “economía de plataforma”. Por último, comento el impacto del Covid-19 y de la crisis climática, antes de concluir con algunas breves observaciones finales sobre las respuestas sindicales.
German Trade Unions and the Digital Revolution
Authors: Haipeter Thomas
Published: July 2022

The digital revolution is a complex challenge for the German trade unions. On the one hand, this is due to general problems of the German trade union movement like declining organising power; on the other hand, digitalisation is a multi-layered process that is developing in different forms, ranging from the 'Industry 4.0' to the platform economy. In addressing these challenges, German trade unions were able to draw on new strategic approaches based on principles such as organising, participation and the activation of works councils. Basically, trade unions are trying to influence digitalisation and its effects on the basis of new initiatives and, in doing so, to reposition themselves as interest representatives of workers. While the activation of works councils is at the forefront of trade union initiatives on 'Industry 4.0', the initiatives in the platform economy are more diverse, but also more restricted. And while the proliferation of works councils forms a limit for the activation strategies, the platform strategies are limited by their high costs and effort compared to the relatively lower return.
La igualdad como valor cooperativo y su proyección en la legislación cooperativa
Authors: Macías Ruano Antonio José
Published: July 2022

En la búsqueda de la identidad cooperativa, la Alianza Cooperativa Internacional, con base a los elementos que se han considerado identificadores de esta estructura jurídica, ha ido fijando los principios –y valores– propios de estas entidades, de carácter universal, a los que habrán de acomodarse como normas programáticas que guían la acción y estructura de las cooperativas. Y siendo los principios cooperativos las "pautas mediante las cuales las cooperativas ponen en práctica sus valores" (ACI, 1995), analizando su materialización legal, se distinguirán a las cooperativas de cualquier otro operador económico que concurra en el mercado. Con el presente trabajo, se pretende dar una panorámica de la proyección que uno de los valores cooperativos ha tenido en la política legislativa nacional en el ámbito societario: la igualdad. Si realmente los valores son lo que distinguen a las cooperativas de otras estructuras jurídicas, el reconocimiento del valor de la igualdad en el marco legislativo nos dará la imagen del nivel de identificación del modelo cooperativo en el mercado.

ANALISIS BORAKS DENGAN EKSTRAK BUNGA TELANG PADA KERUPUK PULI
Authors: Trisdayant Ni Putu Eka
Published: July 2022

Borax is a chemical that is prohibited from being used in food but is often misused by producers. One of the foods that is often added to borax is Puli crackers with the aim of increasing the crispness and longevity. However, the addition of borax in these Puli crackers can have a toxic effect on consumers. Therefore, consumers must be smart in distinguishing between foods that contain borax or not. To be able to distinguish them, an easy method is needed using natural ingredients, so this study aims to detect borax in Puli crackers using telang flower extract. The method used in this research is the experimental extraction of the telang flower extract with the maceration method, and the sample testing using the extract. The results showed that of the 8 samples of Puli crackers tested, 3 samples were positive for borax which was indicated by a blue to green color change.

Based on this, a short training program in the form of breakfast processing training activities for tourism actors in Nusa Lembongan was carried out. This activity aims to remind and improve the skills of tourism actors, especially in the culinary field. The method used in this training session is the presentation of theories on the application of hygiene and sanitation in food processing, restaurant/restaurant CHSE, menu knowledge, cooking demonstrations, and hands-on practice from the participants. The results of the evaluation showed that the participants were enthusiastic about participating in the training and were able to practice food processing methods
Uveal Melanoma

Published: July 2022

Uveal melanoma, a malignant proliferation of melanocytes in the uvea, is the most common primary tumor of the eye in adults. The purpose of this review is to discuss the risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, prognosis, and management, while providing information about novel viewpoints and tools for diagnosis and treatment of uveal melanoma. Blue-light exposure, BAP1 polymorphisms, complete monosomy 3, and history of ocular melanocytosis are the greatest risk factors for the development of uveal melanoma. Uveal melanoma can first present either on routine eye exam or upon presentation with flashes, floaters, and visual field defects. Diagnosis of uveal melanoma is made with anterior segment ocular coherence tomography or ultrasound biomicroscopy. Fine-needle biopsy of the lesion often follows diagnosis, with gene expression profiling being the best prognostic indicator for uveal melanoma. The gold standard for treatment of uveal melanoma is plaque brachytherapy. Other treatment possibilities for uveal melanoma include enucleation, charged-particle radiation therapy, transpupillary thermotherapy and photodynamic thermotherapy. Uveal melanoma may be fatal if untreated and subsequently metastasizes. Hopefully, earlier detection methods including the use of circulating tumor cells, circulating tumor DNA, and circulating MicroRNA and subsequent treatment using novel targeted therapies like high-intensity focused ultrasound, iontophoresis and electrochemotherapy would be crucial to improving prognosis in the future.
Integrating Pharmacogenomics Into Treatments: Rationales, Current Challenges, and Future Directions
Authors: Wu Jingyue
Published: July 2022

Pharmacogenomics is a novel therapeutic concept that essentially focuses on how genes affect the body’s response to different medications. Although it has the potential to revolutionize conventional clinical approaches, the actual implementations in daily practice are not as common or as easy as scientists and physicians had hoped. The disease and cancer management of patients is still very difficult due to the significant interindividual differences in the therapeutic responses observed in clinical practice. Therefore, the goal of this article is to discuss the rationales, challenges, and limitations of pharmacogenomics by analyzing several studies written by experts in diverse fields. Moreover, this article also discusses potential solutions to overcome those challenges and limitations, as well as potential future directions.

Published: July 2022

Stretchable electronics are being used in applications such as wearable electronics, robotic skin, wearable health-monitoring devices, and smart textiles due to their excellent mechanical conformability through stretching, flexing, twisting, and folding. This work focuses on creating printable stretchable substrates based on butyl rubber (IIR), combined with a ferroelectric filler, barium strontium titanate (BST). BST has unique properties, including the ability to tune the dielectric properties by applying a bias to the substrate. A high loading of BST was incorporated to tailor the dielectric properties of the substrate. This work investigated the effect of three different cure systems on the properties, including interaction with a silver ink. For all cure systems, cure and scorch time decreased with increases in BST loading. A phenolic cure did not affect the ink conductivity, whereas the sulfur-cured systems resulted in nonconductive ink. For the phenolic-cured substrate, the tensile strength increased and the elongation decreased with increasing filler loading. The elastomer could be filled with up to 40 vol. % BST while still maintaining elongation greater than 200%.

Authors: Patadiya Nikunj , Vaghela Vipul
Published: July 2022

The main aim of present work is to develop efficient method for synthesis of flavanone. For the synthesis of flavanone acid and based catalyzed methods were tried in which base catalyzed methods proved ineffective. No reaction was take place upon using HCl, H2SO4, glacial acetic acid and p-TSA as catalyst. In presence of methane sulphonic acid as catalyst, flavanone was formed in lower yield. Mixture of sulfuric acid and glacial acetic acid proved better catalyst than previous ones and leads to 65% yield. The reaction condition parameters effects on product yield were carried out. Ratio of sulfuric acid and glacial acetic acid in (4:1) proved highly beneficial. In methanol product yield was higher compare to other selected solvents. Solvent quantity effect on yield was also screened which proved that 50ml solvent necessary for 0.004mol of reactant. From which 90˚C temperature was highly favorable to reaction that takes minimum 6hr to complete the reaction. So, in this study we developed new efficient method for synthesis of flavanone.
