Published: July 2021

Background. Enteral insufficiency syndrome accompanies the development of many acute diseases of the abdominal cavity. According to the statistics, advanced and multi-organ surgical intervention in oncosurgery within the period from 2019 to 2020 resulted in enteral insufficiency being a complication in 39% of all cases, regardless of anatomical and physiological area, while complications in the form of endogenous intoxication syndrome made up 68% of cases.
Purpose – studying the effectiveness of treatment of enteral insufficiency syndrome in cancer patients after multiorgan surgery with severe endogenous intoxication by means of indirect electrochemical detoxification with sodium hypochlorite solution.
Materials and methods. The study involved 71 cancer patients who underwent multi-organ surgery on different anatomical and physiological areas. The patients were divided into 2 groups: treatment group (n=36) provided with indirect electrochemical detoxification by means of sodium hypochlorite solution at a concentration of 0.06%, comparison group (n=35) undergoing treatment according to standard schemes. The groups were comparable in age and anatomical and physiological areas that were operated on (surgery was performed on the chest and mediastinum as well as abdominal organs).
Results. The method of electrochemical detoxification with sodium hypochlorite reducing the indicators that reflect blood toxicity and intoxication level was used for treating patients with enteral insufficiency. This was evidenced by decreased concentration of bilirubin by 23.1%, urea by 91.6%, creatinine by 99.4%, LII (leukocytal intoxication index) by 47.2% and procalcitonin by 68.2%. Being applied this method has made it possible to achieve a detoxifying effect early on day one.
Conclusions. The findings of complete physical examination of cancer patients after multiorgan surgery with severe endogenous intoxication have shown a practical significance of sodium hypochlorite being included in comprehensive post-surgery treatment in enteral insufficiency syndrome cases. Infusions of 0.06% NaClO solution within 24 hours have been proved to provide a detoxifying effect: they significantly reduce elevated concentrations of bilirubin, creatinine, urea, LII and improve blood rheology.
Administering sodium hypochlorite in the suppre-ssion of antioxidant defense mechanisms leads to the activation of oxidative processes.
Including sodium hypochlorite in comprehensive post-surgery treatment in enteric insufficiency syndrome has shown a high efficiency.

Background. The issue of analysis of diagnostic criteria and adequate neuroprotective management of postsurgery cognitive dysfunction in abdominal oncosurgery, depending on the degree and structure of disorders, remains unresolved, determining its relevance.
Purpose – assessing the postsurgery cognitive dysfunction in patients with neoplasms of the abdominal cavity and management of possible disorders with citicoline depending on the level of general cognitive deficit.
Materials and methods. TThe study was conducted at the premises of departments for patients of surgical profile of Municipal Institution “Kharkov City Clinical Hospital of Ambulance and Emergency Care named after Professor O.I. Meshchaninov”. To achieve the aim of the study, 80 patients with abdominal neoplasms who underwent surgery under general anesthesia using propofol and fentanyl were examined.
Results and discussion. Based on the comprehensive clinical study and anal- ysis of the mechanisms of formation of postsurgery cognitive dysfunction in patients of oncosurgical profile after surgery under general anesthesia, we suggested directions and schemes for managing postsurgery cognitive dysfunction by means of the developed clinical diagnostic criterion, which is essential in forming individual scheme of treating patients in postsurgery period.
Conclusions. Based on the analysis of data on the state of cognitive function changes, comparing the postsurgery period with the preoperative state, a differentiated approach to intensive neuroprotective therapy of postoperative cognitive dysfunction was developed. The technique of intensive neuroprotective therapy of postsurgery cognitive dysfunction in patients with abdominal neoplasms, undergoing surgery under general anesthesia, was suggested.

How to Improve Fairness Perceptions of AI in Hiring: The Crucial Role of Positioning and Sensitization
Authors: Hunkenschroer Anna 
Published: July 2021

Companies increasingly deploy artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in their personnel recruiting and selection processes to streamline them, thus making them more efficient, consistent, and less human biased (Chamorro-Premuzic, Polli, & Dattner, 2019) . However, prior research found that applicants prefer face-to-face interviews compared with AI interviews, perceiving them as less fair (e.g., Acikgoz, Davison, Compagnone, & Laske, 2020) . Additionally, emerging evidence exists that contextual influences, such as the type of task for which AI is used (Lee, 2018) , or applicants’ individual differences (Langer, König, Sanchez, & Samadi, 2019) , may influence applicants’ reactions to AI-powered selection. The purpose of our study was to investigate whether adjusting process design factors may help to improve people's fairness perceptions of AI interviews. The results of our 2 x 2 x 2 online study (N = 404) showed that the positioning of the AI interview in the overall selection process, as well as participants’ sensitization to its potential to reduce human bias in the selection process have a significant effect on people’s perceptions of fairness. Additionally, these two process design factors had an indirect effect on overall organizational attractiveness mediated through applicants’ fairness perceptions. The findings may help organizations to optimize their deployment of AI in selection processes to improve people’s perceptions of fairness and thus attract top talent.

Published: July 2021

Offensive and sexist statements against women politicians in Kosovo and women in general are no longer unknown, especially when they are made public, either through various media or through statuses on various social networks. But, in Kosovo, recently there have been insults against Kosovar women politicians by their colleagues, Kosovar men politicians, which insults clearly tend to increase. These statements contain the following epithets: dealing with their body weight, calling them 'cows', 'beautiful', 'prostitutes', and even inviting them on a date. Also, in the media several times and recently, bias has been noted regarding women’s jealousy by calling them jealous, even of those fighting for human rights.
In this paper, content analysis is used, where the contents of some media are analyzed, such as television and some online media. The contents of the messages written against the Kosovar woman politician were analyzed.
Offensive statements and prejudices against Kosovar women politicians were pointed out to be very harmful, because this could damage the chances of women politicians to be successful and could contribute to the woman being further qualified only on the basis of her beauty and not to be treated according to its wisdom.

Diversos grupos de bactérias são capazes de se associar com plantas, sendo essas interações patogênicas ou prejudiciais ao tecido vegetal, ou interações benéficas que se baseiam na troca de favores entre bactéria e planta. Entre as associações benéficas destacam-se as bactérias associativas, capazes de associar às plantas de diferentes formas e com isso, estimular o desenvolvimento vegetal. As bactérias diazotróficas além de fixar nitrogênio atmosférico, produzem fitohormônios que contribuem para o crescimento e desenvolvimento das plantas. Contudo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a resposta da alface crespa quanto a eficácia das bactérias promotoras de crescimento vegetal (BPCP). O experimento foi instalado em casa de vegetação no Polo Tecnológico Agroalimentar, município de Arapiraca/AL. A cultivar da alface crespa (Lactuca sativa L.) e as BPCP utilizadas foram Veneranda, Herbaspirillum seropedicae (BR 11175) e Glucanoacetobacter diazotrophicus (BR 11281), respectivamente. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado (DIC) com quatro tratamentos: alface + solo (TA), alface + substrato (TS), alface + BR 11175 + solo e alface + BR 11175 + BR 11281 + solo, com 3 repetições. As variáveis analisadas no experimento foram: biomassa verde das folhas (BVF), biomassa verde do caule (BVC), biomassa verde da raiz (BVR), biomassa verde total (BVT), altura da planta (AP), comprimento do caule (CC), comprimento da raiz (CR) e número de folhas (NF). Nos resultados constatou-se que as BPCP isolada e em dupla inoculação inibiram a altura da planta, a biomassa verde do caule e a biomassa verde da raiz da alface crespa.

The study analyzed the poverty status of women producing Kokoro (Corn snack) and women producing arable crops in Ogun State, Nigeria. A total of 208 respondents made up of 106 women producing Kokoro (Corn snack) and 102 women producing arable crops to serve as control group were selected. The respondents were selected based on non- probability method. Purposive sampling technique with Snowball method was used. Data were obtained by structured interview schedule. Data collected were analysed using FGT poverty index, costs and return and t-test statistics. The results indicated that 34.9kg of maize were processed into 128 dozens of Kokoro (Corn snack) per production run over an average of five (5) days, with six (6) production runs per month for nine months for the period of the research. The mean Kokoro (Corn snack) production cost was N42, 769.41/ respondent/ month with average revenue of N92, 253.60/ respondent/ month and net income of N49, 484.19/ respondent/ month. Income from Kokoro (Corn snack) production accounted for 53.4% of the total household income of N721,323.67 of an average woman engaged in Kokoro (Corn snack) production while farm income accounted for 67.9% of the total household income of N418, 935.10 of an average woman producing arable crops. The study also revealed that households of Kokoro (Corn snack) producers had mean per capita household income of N282.32 per person per day which was significantly higher (p<0.01) than those of women producing arable crops, N191.29 per person per day. Thus Kokoro (Corn snack) production has the potentials to enhance income and reduce poverty among households of rural women. The study thus recommends promotion of value- adding activities, such as maize processing into Kokoro as a means of enhancing income and reduces poverty among the rural folks.
PRICE INTEGRATION AND TRANSMISSION OF FOOD GRAINS MARKETS IN SOUTHWEST NIGERIA (2004-2013)
Authors: ADEKUNLE C. P. 
Published: July 2021

The success of market reforms in developing countries depends to a large extent on the strength of price signals transmitted between different level of markets reflecting extent of market integration and extent to which markets function efficiently. Market integration is an indicator that efficiency exists within the flow of information between markets. This study examined price integration and transmission of food grains markets in Southwest, Nigeria. Time series data of rural and urban retail prices of local and imported rice, cowpea and maize between 2004 to 2013 were obtained from the Agricultural Development Programme (ADP) Offices in selected States. The degree of price transmission was analyzed within the framework of Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root test results revealed that the price series were stationary at first difference. Johansen cointegration results showed that even though two Cointegrating Equations (CEs) exist between linear combinations, some stable long run equilibrium relationships exist among the price series. The study concluded that Rural Price of Local Rice in Lagos State (RPLRLS), Rural Price of Cowpea in Oyo State (RPCOYS) and Rural Price of Maize in Lagos State (RPMLS) occupied the leadership position in price formation and transmission. The study therefore, recommended that policy measures aimed at increasing consumption of local rice, cowpea and maize be implemented, in identifying the leader markets.

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of Arbuscular mycorrhiza and degraded sawdust on growth and yield characters of bell pepper (Capsicum annum L.) The experiment was 2x4 factorial arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD)) with four replicates. The eight treatments were combinations of two early maturing varieties of bell peppers (PEP and Gombe) and soil amendments (degraded sawdust, Glomus etunicatum and steam sterilized homogenous soil as control (C). The two varieties of bell pepper differed significantly in growth and fruit parameters. Variety Gombe had higher plant height (22.2cm) and produced more fruits of bell pepper (1.7) than variety PEP inspite of its larger leaf area (23.1cm2) by the latter. The results also showed that soil amendment with degraded sawdust alone and combination with Glomus etunicatum improved the growth parameters such as plant height, stem girth, leaf area as well as numbers of flowers and fruits of bell pepper. The interaction of pepper and soil amendments was significant on all the growth and yield parameters with varieties exhibiting differential reactions to the soil amendment treatments. Soil amendments with degraded sawdust and combination of degraded sawdust with Arbuscular mycorrhiza had positive effects on the growth and yield characters of both varieties of pepper used (PEP and Gombe).

Two methods of treating water using a natural coagulant and a chemical coagulant were assessed. The natural coagulant was Moringa oleifera seeds (a forest plant) i.e Treatment ‘A’ while the chemical used was Aluminum hydroxide chloride i.e Treatment ‘B’. The aim of this study was to compare the use of a natural coagulant with a chemical coagulant. Samples were collected at Omida, Ibara, Mama Cass, Mr Bigg’s and Sidipon village respectively. The filtrate of Moringa oleifera seed extract was dosed into the greywater sample at 10% dosing range and made to run through a greywater treatment plant while Aluminum Hydroxide Chloride was also dosed at 10% dosing range and made to run through the treatment plant respectively. The greywater treatment plant is a self designed treatment plant made to treat both water and wastewater. The raw water was firstly analyzed, after which the treated samples were taken to the laboratory for analysis. Result for the physical, chemical and bacteriological analysis of treatment ‘A’ before and after treatment were as follows: pH (9.3, 9.7), EC (2995, 1175μs), Temperature (27.7, 27.6oc) , TDS (365, 155ppm), TSS (0.32, 0.30ppm), TS (376, 155ppm), Sulphate (588, 314mg/l), Magnesium (400, 260mg/l), Nitrate (7.5, 6.1mg/l), Phosphate (285, 12mg/l) and total coliform count after treatment is given as (2.8x103 cfu/ml), while that of treatment ‘B’ before and after treatment were as follows: pH(11, 9.9), EC (3000,630), Temperature (27.7, 27.6oc), TDS (0.47, 0.45ppm), TS (416, 320ppm), Sulphate (571, 246mg/l), Magnesium (820, 860mg/l), Nitrate (4.4, 6.0mg/l), Phosphate(169, 6.1mg/l) the total coliform count after treatment was given as ; (3.0x103cfu/ml). One-way Anova test was used to determine differences between results obtained using the two coagulants. The result indicated no significant difference at p=0.05 between the two treatments. Hence, result was further compared with World Health Organization Standard for Drinking Water. Comparatively, the analysis obtained from water treated with Moringa oleifera was found to be more effective than the chemical coagulant, and can be easily made available for the use of the populace.

Published: July 2021

Moringa oleifera is a nutritious tree plant that has several uses. Moringa leaves contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Potassium, and it has good quality protein. Moringa leave could be used in treating malnutrition. It also contains antioxidants which could help in treating certain diseases. This study examined the factors influencing awareness and willingness to pay for moringa. A multistage sampling procedure was used in selecting the respondents. Data were analyzed using Recursive Bivariate Probit Model. The result shows that mean age of respondents was 44 years and the mean household size was 5. The result further revealed that 80.5 percent of the respondents were aware of moringa while 80.1 percent were willing to pay for moringa. The result of the model of awareness of moringa revealed that awareness increases willingness to pay for moringa (p<0.01). The factors that influences awareness were age and occupation of the respondents, knowledge of the nutritive benefits of moringa, perception of respondents that moringa vegetable is too expensive and respondents preference for other vegetable while the factors that influences willingness to pay for moringa were occupation of the respondents, knowledge of other uses of moringa, respondents perception that moringa vegetable is sweet, non availability of fresh moringa vegetable and respondents preference for other vegetable. There is need to increase the awareness of nutritive benefits of moringa vegetable and encourage the availability of fresh moringa foe sale in the local markets.
