A Case study on MGNREGA and social security in Tamil Nadu's Krishnagiri district, India
Authors: B. Jayakumar  , S. Prabakar  
Published: December 2024

One of the progressive and revolutionary pieces of legislation, the National Rural work Grantee Act (NREGA) was enacted by the Indian Parliament in 2005 by the UPA administration to guarantee every rural family a stable source of income and work. The Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is the new name for it as of 2007. This right-based policy initiative's main objective is to guarantee employment and support village infrastructure development for the welfare of rural households. It is also thought of as a comprehensive plan for eradicating rural poverty and advancing sustainable growth of .MGNREGA has been in effect for nine years in all 623 districts throughout the nation, however the programme has not produced the anticipated or even stated goals. The majority of assessment studies have shown that the scheme's poor execution is the reason it is not operating as intended at the ground level. Numerous problems and difficulties arise throughout its execution. There are just a few state, like Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, and so on, where programmes are being carried out one after the other. Maharashtra state is a pioneer in MGREGA; the EGS scheme's inception forms the act's foundation. The Employment Guarantee Scheme (EGS) was launched by the Maharashtra state government in 1974 and operated for the whole year. Presently, the federal government's MGNREGA guidelines include the former employment guarantee programme. Despite the state's expertise with EGS, the current amalgamated MGNREGA programme is not operating well on the ground. Numerous problems arise throughout the implementation process, stemming from several variables including increased workload, selecting the appropriate work location and planning, a convoluted administrative structure with inexperienced personnel, payment delays, and a shortage of human resources. Using a case study of two villages in Tamilnadu, Krishnagiri District area, Thally and Kelamagalam , the author has attempted to analyse these issues. The interview schedule and FGD were used to obtain data. This essay also aims to demonstrate how, if the act is used with zeal and dedication, it might aid in revitalising village resources in order to meet the main objectives of sustainable development.

Abstract—The skin is a line of defense in protecting the body from various trauma and injuries such as burns. Grade IIA burns are characterized by red, blistered skin and blisters. Treatment for grade IIA burns generally uses drugs such as sulfadiazine, povidone-iodine, MEBO. prices due to limited drug availability and side effects mean that alternative treatments using traditional ingredients are needed to treat burns. Honey and cassava leaves are traditional ingredients that can be used as an alternative for treating grade IIA burns. This research uses a pure experimental method with post test observations only with control group design. There was a difference in the average length of burn wounds after 14 days of treatment. Forest honey and cassava leaf extract cream are considered effective in healing grade IIA burns. The group of mice given honey had the smallest average length of burn wounds compared to the group given cassava leaf extract cream and followed by the positive control group given silver sulfadiazine and the negative control group without treatment. Thus, forest honey has the greatest effectiveness against grade IIA burns, compared to cassava leaves and the positive control.

Self-assessment becomes an important element in the modern educational process, in particular when studying chemistry. Modern approaches to education are aimed not only at the transfer of knowledge, but also at the development of students' ability to independently evaluate their achievements and identify difficulties in learning the material. Thanks to this, students learn to approach their studies more responsibly, become more independent and motivated. Self-assessment is a key component of modern methodological approaches in teaching, as it contributes to the development of independence, critical thinking and personal responsibility of students. In this work, the results of self-assessment by students of the first chapter of chemistry «Chemistry. The first steps» were investigated and analyzed. The 7th grade students of the A. Voloshyn Uzhhorod Lyceum, who started studying chemistry under the program of the New Ukrainian School. The results of the study showed the level of assimilation of the material passed by students and insufficient understanding of the history of the development of chemistry, the consequences of non-observance of safety techniques while working in the chemical laboratory, difficulties in the systematization of laboratory equipment. Such an analysis will help to more effectively adapt the educational process to the needs of students and improve their results.
INFLUENCE OF HUMIC ACIDS ON RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITE SUSPENSIONS BASED ON PYROCARBON
Authors: Shkutkova O.V. , Makarov A.S. , Klishchenko R.E. 
Published: December 2024

The possibility of utilizing technical pyrocarbon obtained as a result of pyrolysis of waste tires into composite suspension fuel was investigated. It was determined that the surface of unmodified pyrocarbon has a positive surface charge in the pH range of 2-10. The addition of humic acid causes a change in the surface charge of pyrocarbon and an overcharge of the surface. The influence of stabilizer additives on the rheological properties of composite suspension fuel based on pyrocarbon was studied. Carboxymethyl cellulose, OP-10, and humic acids were used as stabilizers. It is shown that the composite suspension fuel based on pyrocarbon has a synergistic effect of the addition of OP-10 with sodium humate to reduce the effective viscosity and fluidity of suspensions. A composite suspension fuel consisting of [0.5% C3 + 0.25% OP + 3% HA] at a solid phase concentration of 51.7% was proposed. The effective viscosity of the obtained suspensions does not exceed 0.9 Pa‧sec, and the sedimentation stability is 28-30 days. This allows us to recommend the obtained suspensions as liquid suspension fuel for liquid fuel units.

Abstract
The main climatic elements and meteorological phenomena in the area of the meteorological observatory in the city of Shumen were studied for the periods 1971-1980 and 2013-2023. A detailed analysis of changes in temperatures and precipitation has been carried out, revealing the trends in their changes. Significant differences in temperature were found between the warm and cold part of the year. For the period 1971-1980, the average January temperatures are from -3.0°C to +2.5°C, and the average June temperatures from +18.4°C to +21.3°C, while for the period 2013-2023 they are, respectively, the average January temperatures from –2.8°C to +5.7°C, and the average June temperatures from +19.1°C to +22.3°C. Temperature analysis reveals warmer months of January and June for the period 2013-2023. The average annual temperature for the period 1971-1980 is +10.73°C., while for the period 2013-2023 it is +12.48°C, i.e. for the second period an increase of 1.75°C is reported. The average maximum monthly temperatures for the city of Shumen for the period 1971-1980 in the summer range from +17.6 to +21.8°C, while for the period 2013-2023 they are from +19.1 to +24.6°C., i.e. for the second period, an increase of about 2°C is reported. The same trend is observed for the average annual temperature amplitudes, which in the period 1971-1980 were from 20°C to 24.4°C, while for the period 2013-2023. are from 19.9°C to 25.8°C. The average annual precipitation for both periods is approximately the same (1971-1980 - 608.64 mm; 2013-2023 - 648.89 mm), but by year in the period 2013-2023 there are very large differences - from 418.4 mm (2019) to 1185.4 mm (2014). Four years of the 2013-2023 period: 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023 can clearly be identified as years of significant drought. The complex analysis of the climate of the city of Shumen allowed in the final part of the study to draw conclusions about the prevailing types and classes of weather.
More-than-human in the garden: Living with Homo hortensis
Authors: Schwarz Astrid 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In contrast to Homo faber, Homo hortensis does not side with technical production. He is dependent on dealing with inhomogeneous, ‘impure’ ensembles and can thus offer an interesting approach of acting in the age of the Anthropocene. Dealing with the interweaving of the natural and the artificial, craftsmanship and mechanization, local traditional and scientific knowledge is inherent in gardening practice and has been this way for centuries. Homo hortensis is a genuinely technoscientific person for whom the garden is an ecotechnical product of co-produced knowledge and material. The garden is a counterpart and demands attentive perception, and in this sense offers a model for a convivial mode to live with many others. The garden demands a sense of situatedness and requires the gardener to constantly position himself in his gardening work. This is where Homo hortensis differs dramatically from other forms of horticultural management, for example in geoengineering, industrial agriculture and many sustainability industries.

Abstract

Objective. To better understand the role of thyroid hormones in regulating the growth of breast epithelial cells and the estrogen-like effects of these hormones, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between breast cancer and thyroid autoimmune disorders in southeast Iran women.

Methods. In this case-control study, in the case group, all newly diagnosed breast cancer pa­tients referred to the oncology clinics in Zahedan city in years 2021‒2022 were studied. The num­ber of participants in each group was represented by 40 breast cancer patients. The control group was represented by women without breast cancer. The sampling method was simple or available using the nonprobability method. The presence or absence of thyroid dysfunction was checked using thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxin (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), anti-thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and anti-thyroglobulin (Tg) tests.

Results. The mean age of participants was 47±11 years. The risk of subclinical hyperthyroid­ism was higher in subjects with breast cancer and about 8 times higher than in the healthy ones (OR=8.27). According to the value of OR=1, the risk of developing autoimmune thyroid disease was the same in individuals with breast cancer as in healthy individuals. The odds ratio of hypothy­roidism could not be calculated because the value in the control group was zero.

Conclusion. The results of this study show that there are abnormal characteristics of the thy­roid gland in breast cancer patients compared to the control group. The incidence of subclinical hyperthyroidism was significantly increased in the breast cancer patients. However, there was no difference in the incidence of autoimmune thyroid disease between the two groups.

ESG Factors, Returns and Volatility: A Tale From Brazilian Market Data
Authors: Farias Camila Guedes de , Almeida Vinicio de Souza e 
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors and financial market performance in Brazil. The objective is to understand the impact of ESG scores on firms’ returns and risk profiles, thereby informing investment strategies and policy decisions.

Theoretical Framework: The research is grounded in theories of sustainable finance and risk management, with emphasis on how ESG integration can influence financial outcomes. Notable frameworks include Cochrane’s “factor zoo” and the role of investor attention and analyst coverage in mitigating crash risk.

Method: Data for the study was obtained from the Refinitiv Eikon database, covering firm-level ESG characteristics and market data, such as returns and volatility. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression was used to analyze cross-sectional data, exploring the relationship between ESG scores and financial performance metrics across various sectors.

Results and Discussion: The results show no significant relationship between returns and ESG scores. However, a negative and statistically significant relationship was found between ESG scores and volatility, suggesting that firms with higher ESG ratings tend to exhibit lower risk. ESG Controversies Score (ECSC) displayed negative correlations with other ESG metrics, indicating that companies involved in controversies tend to have lower overall ESG scores.

Research Implications: These findings suggest that while ESG scores may not directly influence returns, they play a role in risk management, highlighting the importance of ESG factors for investors seeking lower-risk profiles.

Originality/Value: This research contributes to the understanding of ESG’s role in the Brazilian market, offering empirical evidence on how ESG integration can shape financial performance and risk, providing a nuanced view of ESG’s impact on investment decisions.

Published: December 2024

Lontar Bhagawan Anggastya Prana merupakan salah satu Lontar yang bersifat Sivaistik dimana Tuhan Siwa memiliki kedudukan tertinggi dan merupakan asal mula dari penciptaan manusia (Bhuwana Alit) yang disebut dengan Sang Hyang Siwatman. Lontar Bhagawan Anggastya Prana memiliki keunikan tersendiri dari beberapa Lontar-Lontar lainnya di Bali. Lontar ini menjelaskan proses penciptaan manusia serta penempatan aksara-aksara suci yang terdapat pada tubuh manusia beserta Ista Dewata yang menguasainya sebagai ajaran dalam upaya untuk mencapai kelepasan (Moksa). Oleh karena itu, penting untuk menggali kembali konsep dualisme manusia menurut Tutur Bhagawan Anggasta Prana. Penelitian ini tergolong jenis penelitian kualitatif dimana data primer atau data utama yang digunakan dalam penelitian yakni Lontar Bhagawan Anggastya Prana yang bersumber dari Lontar Bhagawan Anggastya Prana koleksi UPD Pusat dokumentasi Kebudayaan Bali.
Dualisme manusia dalam Tutur Bhagawan Anggasta Prana menyentuh inti dari ajaran spiritual mengenai sifat ganda atau dualitas yang ada dalam diri manusia. Dalam konteks teks ini, dualisme manusia digambarkan sebagai dua aspek utama yang membentuk keberadaan manusia, yaitu aspek fisik (stula sarira) dan aspek spiritual atau roh (suksma sarira). Berdasarkan analisis terhadap Lontar Tutur Bhagawan Anggastya Pranā maka dapat diketahui bahwa Jiwa (atman) perwujudan dari Sang Hyang Śiwatma. Manusia dijiwai Dewa, Kala dan Atma. Unsur-unsur Badan merupakan anugrah para Dewa yang akhirnya semua menyatu menjadi sebuah keutuhan yaitu badan. Aksara Suci dalam Tubuh Manusia merupakan Manifestasi Sang Hyang Widhi.
