Green Logistics: The Way to Environmental Sustainability of Logistics. Empirical Evidence from Polish SMEs
Authors: Zowada Krzysztof 
Published: September 2020

The needs related to natural environment protection, which are accentuated both in world literature and practice, became the main prerequisite to find new management concepts enabling the development of solutions which are environmentally responsible and economically effective at the same time. One of the concepts which can be an answer for the requirements related to environment protection is the ‘green logistics’ concept. The literature review shows that publications referring to the development of ‘green logistics’ have so far focused primarily on the processes of implementation and development of ‘green logistics’ in large enterprises. In other words, the reviewed research studies didn’t take into account the specific nature of the SME sector, which is a very important factor considering its diversity and, most of all, its high significance and size in the economy. As a consequence, a research gap related to the development of ‘green logistics’ among small and medium-sized enterprises was identified. To explore the identified research gap, a survey among 200 SMEs running their businesses in Poland was conducted. On the basis of the conducted research, it was revealed that SMEs’ activities related to environment protection when running logistics processes are mostly determined by actual legal provisions. However, this amounts to enterprises reaching a certain minimum related to the state's environmental policy. On the other hand, it’s worth emphasising the role of the supply chain leader, which becomes a strong driving force for implementing ‘green’ solutions in the area of logistics for enterprises with higher levels of ‘green logistics’ development. The research results can be a starting point for creating a model illustrating the development of ‘green logistics’ in the SME sector.

Historically, Nigeria as a socio-political formation has experienced and still experiencing about 21 years of uninterrupted democratic rule since the civilian takeover of leadership through the ballot box from the military in May 1999. All over the world, civilian or democratic leadership is remarkable for its freedom of expression/speech, rule of law, quality leadership through the provision of infrastructure, health care facilities, quality education and other social amenities. This paper which shall use analytic, expository and rational methods argued that poor leadership, in appropriate policies and pursuit of personal drives have denied the masses the benefit of good leadership and governance. The paper argues further that absence of leadership credentials and rationality have further placed Nigeria on a cross road thereby making it unable to take appropriate steps in combating the novel coronavirus pandemic. Leadership ineptitudeness, political and financial rascality, corruption and high –level ethnic and religious profligacy have denied the people adequate development of education and health sector, which made it difficult for Nigeria to respond positively in the fight against coronavirus. The paper concludes, that consistent and pragmatic elimination/erosion of ethno-religious, linguistic and cultural boundaries from our consciousness will birth into positive mental restructuring of the leadership class that will navigate into a process of positive direction that will make Nigeria to respond positively towards finding solution to problems rather than depending on the west, development of home grown medicine remains a combative therapy in a hopeless situation such as this 2020 global living.

Published: September 2020

The necessity and importance of conducting agricultural market research was substantiated. Features of the process of marketing research were identified, taking into account the specifics of agricultural production and sales according to time requirements. The basic principles on the basis of which the algorithms for conducting market research are developed and directly carried out were determined. The main requirements for conducting research on the state of the agricultural market were outlined, the most important being objectivity, impartiality and independence from personal or political interests. The factors that should be taken into account when conducting marketing research on the state of the agricultural market were determined, taking into account both controllable and uncontrollable factors of the marketing environment. The stages of marketing research that meet the requirements of the agricultural market were offered. Gross production volume of agricultural products was predicted and trends in the whole branch were discovered, a polynomial trend line was chosen because the equation of this model has the highest coefficients of correlation and determination, and so it describes the dynamics most reliably. The agricultural market was studied in terms of marketing, i.e. from the perspective of two subsystems, the first of which is represented by the supply, and the second by the demand. It was established that the supply of basic foodstuffs is realised by means of domestic production, and the demand is realised by means of internal and external buyers.
The overall price situation on the agricultural market in Ukraine was analysed and predicted. The contemporary features and problems of formation of prices for agricultural products are outlined. The research on the modern state of agricultural market gave a reason to claim about its development being rather steady, reaffirmed by the positive dynamics of gross agricultural production volume.
Key Words: agricultural marketing, marketing research, economy, development trend, agricultural market, agricultural produce.
Community Preparedness for Disasters in Delhi: An Empirical Evaluation
Authors: Gautam Upma , Tewari Deeksha Bajpai 
Published: September 2020

Background: During a disaster, the community remains the primary and the sole line of response for quite long time period and therefore, incorporating local communities in disaster recovery and risk reduction is crucial, critical component. Aim: Evaluating the vulnerability of a selected society on four aspects: Information, Awareness, Training and Preparedness in a multi hazard prone state of Delhi, India, constitutes the central focal point of this study. Methodology: The data primarily was collected through two separate questionnaires administered to the sample of 726 respondents in the age group of 15 – 75 years. Community was sub-divided into two groups – First included professionals, housewives, retired persons (n= 280) and second included students of school (n=160) and college/university level (n= 286). The sampling technique employed was stratified random with methodology as empirical and analytical. Findings: The study affirms, firstly, that there is lack of awareness of the community about disaster plan, its components and agencies entrusted with disaster planning; secondly, there is a vague understanding about their role both during and post disaster; thirdly, significance of participation in training is also underestimated. Recommendations: A roadmap for increasing resilience of communities through effective training and outreach programs for capacity building up for the ‘whole’ community.

Do North American Migratory Barren-Ground Caribou Subpopulations Cycle?
Authors: Bongelli Eric , Dowsley Martha , Velasco-Herrera Victor M. , Taylor Mitchell 
Published: September 2020

Unlike all other members of the deer family, subpopulations of barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) are typically sine-cyclic. We used Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC) to rank competing population dynamics models for 11 North American barren-ground caribou subpopulations. Nine of these subpopulations were best described as sine-cyclic with periods ranging from a minimum of 26 years (Bluenose-East and Porcupine) to a maximum of 55 years (Western Arctic); and amplitudes ranging from a minimum of 8 455 (Cape Bathurst) to a maximum of 327 432 (George River). Time series estimates of subpopulation abundance generated by the sine cycle models showed good correspondence to published subpopulation estimates of abundance for all nine sine-cyclic subpopulations (r = 0.978; p < 0.001). Lack of demographic closure (migration between subpopulations) was evident in both of the subpopulations that were not identified as sine-cyclic. Barren-ground caribou subpopulation amplitudes were mostly determined by subpopulation total range size and summer range productivity (R2 = 0.962; p < 0.001) and subpopulation periods were mostly determined by amplitude, total range productivity, and land surface temperature (R2 = 0.950; p < 0.001). Time series estimates of subpopulation abundance generated from the respective environmental regression models were highly correlated (r = 0.964; p < 0.001) to the published subpopulation estimates of abundance for the set of 9 sine-cyclic subpopulations. Extended (> 3 generations) subpopulation declines are a natural feature of cyclic barren-ground caribou subpopulations. Trends in species abundance based on pooled assemblages of asynchronous cyclic subpopulations should be interpreted with caution.

Published: September 2020

Residental environmental health is a complex problem that depends on several dimensions. One of the statistical method that can be used to analyze the relation between complex dimensions is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with a variant/component based approach or Partial Least Square. The purpose of this study is to develop a structural model of the relation between household economy, education, housing facilities, and residental environmental health in Central Java Province in 2018 based on 12 valid and reliable indicators. In the structural equation model there is a significant positive effect path that is the influence of household economy towards education and towards housing facilities, and influence housing facility on the residential environment health. In SEM analysis it is generally assumed that the data taken comes from a homogeneous population but often the data consists of several segments. Therefore, we need a method to detect heterogeneity problems, namely Response Based Unit Segmentation in Partial Least Square (REBUS-PLS). Based on the dendogram produced, by forming 2 classes/segments, values as the accuracy of the prediction model on the local model had a higher value (except values for Education in local model 2) than values on the global model. In addition, the Goodnes of Fit value as a measure of model suitability for each local model is also had a higher value, so that it indicates the goodness of the model in the local model is better than the global model.Keywords: environmental health, SEM, PLS, REBUS-PLS

Abstract

Objectives
Carbonic anhydrase VA (CAVA) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism that leads to acute metabolic crises, especially in the neonatal or infantile period. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme CAVA, which is encoded by the CA5A gene.

Case presentation
Fifteen patients with homozygous pathogenic CA5A mutations involving 10 different lesions have been reported in the literature up to date. Main clinical and biochemical features of CAVA deficiency include lethargy, hyperammonemic encephalopathy, metabolic acidosis, elevated lactate and hypoglycemia. In most patients reported so far, a single metabolic decompensation attack has been reported, and they have remained stable thereafter with no further crisis.

Conclusions
We report the 16th case of CAVA deficiency, who was diagnosed by whole-exome sequencing and showed a typical course of the disease with normal development at 18 months.
Nanolaser arrays: toward application-driven dense integration

Published: September 2020

AbstractThe past two decades have seen widespread efforts being directed toward the development of nanoscale lasers. A plethora of studies on single such emitters have helped demonstrate their advantageous characteristics such as ultrasmall footprints, low power consumption, and room-temperature operation. Leveraging knowledge about single nanolasers, the next phase of nanolaser technology will be geared toward scaling up design to form arrays for important applications. In this review, we discuss recent progress on the development of such array architectures of nanolasers. We focus on valuable attributes and phenomena realized due to unique array designs that may help enable real-world, practical applications. Arrays consisting of exactly two nanolasers are first introduced since they can serve as a building block toward comprehending the behavior of larger lattices. These larger-sized lattices can be distinguished depending on whether or not their constituent elements are coupled to one another in some form. While uncoupled arrays are suitable for applications such as imaging, biosensing, and even cryptography, coupling in arrays allows control over many aspects of the emission behavior such as beam directionality, mode switching, and orbital angular momentum. We conclude by discussing some important future directions involving nanolaser arrays.

Abstract
Among other emerging contaminants in water, per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have garnered international attention from the scientific community on a global scale. Some countries, such as the United States, have found that PFASs are present in humans on a wide scale. Although two PFASs have been widely studied—Perfluorooctanoic acid and Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid—many more PFASs are being created by industry and are either not known, not studied, or both. The objective of this literature review on PFASs is to give an overview of the information available about PFASs related to human exposure. The information from this literature review on the exposure of humans to PFASs through drinking water and the lack of many conventional drinking water treatment systems’ ability to remove PFASs (particularly short-chain PFASs) suggests that current regulatory limits are insufficient to adequately protect humans. This is especially true for particularly vulnerable populations such as infants, young children, and developing children (pubescent). The gaps in the current knowledge and in current regulatory approaches could have long-term effects on human health.

Published: September 2020

Sewu Village is annually experience by river flooding. The application of Biopore Infiltration Holes (BIH) is one of the measures to reduce river flood disaster risk. This research was aimed to determine the proper location of the BIH. Hydrology tools by using flow direction analysis was used to obtain the best place of BIH. It utilized Digital Elevation Model (DEM), existing landuse and morphologyÂ analysis to know the river flooding prone area and to identify the potential flow direction of surface water (run off). The conformity of those data can be used as determination of BIH. Moreover, the number of BIH had been obtained from flow direction analysis where the lower ground elevation was the best place to arrange BIH. Overall, the flood disaster risk in Sewu Village can be potentially overcome by using BIH.
