HR analytics is the process of gathering and analyzing HR data to yield useful insights, enhance decision-making, and energize the workplace with data accuracy. Working dimensions are changing every minute in the world with advanced insights into the work environment. As a part of the progression advanced technologies are adopted in organizations. New landscapes and horizons are made a pool of data as employees work 24/7, work from home, destination works, and various alternatives give rise to the use of the data. Now the data is new blood for the old organizations. So, in this parlance, the use of HR analytics is the need of the hour for HR Managers in developing organizations. A separate infrastructure is needed in the phase of modern organizations to become a rollercoaster in data-driven organizations. This paper focuses on the steps in creating data infrastructure for developing an infrastructure in modern organizations for data-driven HR practices.

Public-Private Partnerships and Agriculture: A Review of Sorghum Production in Meru County, Kenya
Authors: Kale Elinah , Mbataru (PhD) Patrick 
Published: October 2024

Despite being a major source of income and the basis of economic development, agriculture still faces many challenges that have led to low yields. Inadequate access to extension services, low funding, and lack of markets, among others, explain the yield gaps in many developing countries. It is for this that many countries are resulting in Public-Private Partnership in trying to boost agricultural production. This study sought to establish the effect of public-private partnerships on sorghum production in Meru County. The study sought to achieve four objectives: to establish the role of farmer groups, farmer training, private markets, and provision of farming inputs for sorghum production. A descriptive research design was adopted for the study. A randomly selected sample of 134 farmers and seven key informants from PPP actors were engaged during the study. The study findings indicated that the majority of the participants had received farming training, inputs, and credit/financial support through the public-private partnership. The study also showed that there were new markets because of the public-private partnerships. The participants indicated that the farming training, inputs, and availability of markets led to an increase in sorghum production. The findings further showed that farmer training had the greatest effect on sorghum production, followed by private markets, followed by farmer groups, and lastly provision of farming inputs. The study concluded that, through public-private partnerships, small-holder farmers improved their sorghum production. The study recommended the need for the development of a framework that would encourage the formation and implementation of more public-private partnerships in the agriculture sector.

Authors: Mibey Joel Kiprono , Ngugi Prof. Patrick Karanja , Juma Dr. Dennis 
Published: October 2024

There is an ongoing argument that internal locus of control of business owners or managers can be related to the growth and survival of the business. The internal locus of control might be affecting the growth of enterprises as internal locus of control of an entrepreneur differs from the characteristics of a non-entrepreneur Some researchers have tried to define success in terms of turnover, sustainability, and growth. Some researchers have observed that entrepreneurial traits are indicators of success. The general research issue that has to be addressed in this study is the fact that, in addition to financing and markets, there are additional variables impacting the high mortality rate and stunted growth of micro and small firms in Kenya, particularly in Bomet County. So, this study will look at the connection between the development of micro and small businesses in Bomet County and internal locus of control. In this study, the moderating impact of training in entrepreneurial skills will be examined. The target population was micro and small enterprises in Bomet County which were 14,574 in number in 2016. The unit of observation was the managers and owners of these enterprises. The unit of analysis in the micro and small enterprises in Bomet County and their growth over the past five years. The study used a stratified sampling technique to pick the respondents from the manufacturing, trade, and services strata of micro and small enterprises. The sample size was 384 micro and small enterprises. Data was collected using a questionnaire. Data collection was done by administering the instrument to the owners or managers of the enterprises. The data was processed using computer software. The association between the internal locus of control of entrepreneurs and the expansion of businesses was established using a multiple regression model. The main conclusions were that the expansion of businesses in Kenya's Bomet County is influenced by internal locus of control. The study's main advice is that the key participants in the firms should train to develop the traits of owners and managers. This study also suggests that not everyone can succeed as an entrepreneur. Resources and a methodology should be available to find future entrepreneurs. The necessary resources cannot be accessed before identification.
Youth Nihilism of the 1950s – 1960s and the conflict of generations: the origins of the ideological split in Russia
Authors: Petrenko Maksim Stepanovich 
Published: October 2024

The subject of this study is the historical origins of the modern ideological split in Russia, which is most clearly manifested in the conflict of generations. The beginning of this split dates back to the 1950s and 1960s, when, mainly among young people, under the influence of criticism of the cult of Stalin's personality, a rethinking of all previous political and social experience began, resulting in an ideological and psychological crisis of mass consciousness, one of the manifestations of which was youth nihilism. The purpose of the work is to analyze the ideological split between youth and the older generation in the 1950s and 1960s, which allows us to trace the further evolution and current state of the generational conflict in Russia. The main attention is paid to the characteristics of the socio-psychological state of young people in crisis and their attitude to the adult world. The methodological basis of the research was the theoretical principles of sociological constructivism, associated with the identification of public consciousness as a decisive factor of social interaction, when the subjective perception of reality sets the semantic framework and meanings of social practices. The paper uses a systematic method that allows us to combine narrative analysis with historical and sociological research data. Results: the connection between the ideological split of the period of the "Khrushchev thaw" and the conflict of generations has been revealed. The origins of youth nihilism and the crisis of Soviet identity as a factor of social crisis have been discovered. The conclusion is made about the formation in Russia of a kind of existential vacuum conducive to the reproduction of generational conflict. The novelty of the work is connected with the replacement of the traditional object of research proposed by the author in the study of the conflict of generations. Instead of the usual comparative analysis of ideas, values, orientations of youth and the adult world, an attempt is presented to study the crisis state of society as a decisive factor in the conflict of generations, when youth acts only as a social space in which the ideological crisis and the clash of values receives a favorable living environment and therefore is revealed more clearly. The work can be used for a deeper understanding of the modern ideological split of age groups and the search for practical ways to overcome it.

Published: October 2024

This article is devoted to the study of the possibilities of using commercial quadrocopters in the official activities of various law enforcement agencies. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that, thanks to technological progress, more and more technical means are now becoming available to law enforcement officials, which can significantly facilitate their work, and in some cases, even save lives. The object of the study is commercial (also called "civilian") quadrocopters. The subject of the study is the use of commercial quadrocopters in the official activities of the police and other law enforcement agencies of foreign countries. The authors have studied current data on the use of quadrocopters in various US law enforcement agencies, as well as analyzed in detail examples of such use (from the road transport sector to conducting assault operations and working in difficult conditions). The research methodology is based on general scientific methods (induction, deduction, content analysis method), as well as other special research methods such as narrative and historical-genetic research methods. The scientific novelty lies in a detailed study of the use of quadrocopters in the official activities of the police and other law enforcement agencies with the involvement of foreign experience (primarily the United States). A special contribution of the authors to the study of the topic is a detailed analysis and description of situations in which the use of quadrocopters makes it possible to secure the work of law enforcement officers, as well as in special cases, to save the lives of law enforcement officers. The work also contains a corpus of photographic materials with detailed illustrations and descriptions of examples of the use of quadrocopters in the work of law enforcement agencies. In conclusion, the authors conclude that currently civilian quadrocopters are quite effective and useful tools in the work of law enforcement officers, who are increasingly being introduced into their daily work, separately noting that foreign experience in their use can be applied in law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation.

Introduction
Diabetes self-care among diabetic patients is crucial as it determines how patients care for their illness in their daily routine for better diabetes control. This study aims to calculate the average score for diabetes self-care among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease and to identify factors that are associated with this score.

Materials and Methods
This cross-sectional study enrols patients over 18 years old with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic renal disease with an eGFR of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 in a tertiary hospital in Malaysia. The Malay version of the Summary of Diabetic Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) was used to assess diabetes self-care, the Malay version of the diabetes-related distress questionnaire (DDS-17) was used to assess diabetes distress, and the Malay version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to assess depression. Data analysis was performed using both simple and multiple linear regression models to determine the associations between variables.

Result
One hundred and seventy-six eligible patients were recruited for this study. The mean score for diabetes self-care is 3.62. The eGFR (p = 0.002) and diabetes distress (p = 0.004) are the significant associated factors for diabetes self-care among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with chronic kidney disease.

Conclusion
The mean score for diabetes self-care indicated a moderate level of self-care. The eGFR level and diabetes distress were important factors influencing diabetes self-care practices.

Authors: Lesmana Dina , Karauan Elizabeth Juliana 
Published: October 2024

The Internet of Things (IoT) concept in animal husbandry can produce an effective and efficient monitoring system and can reduce chicken mortality rates and production costs to increase income and management efficiency of broiler chicken rearing. This research aims to find out how much revenue and income the IoT-based broiler chicken farming business has and analyze the R/C Ratio whether this livestock business is efficient or not to continue running. The research was carried out from November 2022 to December 2022 in one of the breeder pens in partnership with the Mutiara Sinar Abadi company in Mangkurawang Village, Tenggarong District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. This research uses a case study method and sampling is carried out using a purposive sampling method. The research results show that (1) the total income obtained by livestock businesses during the two periods was IDR 358,678,199 the average income was IDR 179,339,100/period and the total amount of income obtained was IDR 43,243,486 with an average income of IDR 21. 621,743/period; (2) the results of the calculation of livestock business efficiency analysis using the R/C Ratio obtained a value of 1.14, which means that IoT-based livestock businesses are efficient and feasible to develop and show that the income generated is higher than the related production costs, implying that the business being run is profitable; and (3) the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in broiler chicken cages is an effort to increase production efficiency in increasing food availability. It is hoped that production will be higher thanks to IoT technology and can increase the supply of chicken meat in the local market.
Emerging Protein and Peptide Therapeutics for Osteoporosis: Advances in Anabolic and Catabolic Treatments
Authors: Kuril Akhilesh Kumar , Manchuri Krishna Moorthy , Anand Swapnil Prakash 
Published: October 2024

Osteoporosis is a prevalent skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone density and increased fracture risk, primarily affecting the elderly population. The pathophysiology of osteoporosis involves an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation, with catabolic processes (bone breakdown) counteracting anabolic processes (bone formation). Treatment strategies for osteoporosis are categorized into anabolic and catabolic approaches, each targeting different aspects of bone metabolism. Catabolic treatments focus on inhibiting bone resorption. peptides, such as Calcitonin Salmon and monoclonal antibodies like denosumab, inhibit osteoclast activity, thereby reducing bone turnover. These catabolic agents effectively stabilize bone density and reduce the incidence of fractures, especially in postmenopausal women. Anabolic treatments aim to stimulate bone formation, thereby increasing bone mass and improving bone microarchitecture. Teriparatide, a recombinant form of parathyroid hormone, and abaloparatide, a synthetic analog, and monoclonal antibody romosozumab are the primary anabolic agents. These drugs activate osteoblasts, enhancing bone formation and leading to significant improvements in bone density and reduction in fracture risk. Combining anabolic and catabolic therapies has shown promise in optimizing bone health, as it addresses both aspects of the bone remodeling process. Recent studies have shown that PEPITEM (Peptide Inhibitor of Trans-Endothelial Migration) can limit bone loss and improve bone density in animal models of menopause by acting straightly on osteoblasts, the cells responsible for formation of bone, via NCAM-1 signaling, promoting their maturation and new bone formation (anabolic). Bioactive collagen peptides have shown promise as a treatment for osteoporosis by improving bone mineral density (BMD) and supporting overall bone health.
Constraining the Global Ocean Heat Content Through Assimilation of CERES‐Derived TOA Energy Imbalance Estimates
Authors: Storto Andrea , Yang Chunxue , Masina Simona 
Published: October 2017

AbstractThe Earth's energy imbalance (EEI) is stored in the oceans for the most part. Thus, estimates of its variability can be ingested in ocean retrospective analyses to constrain the global ocean heat budget. Here we propose a scheme to assimilate top of the atmosphere global radiation imbalance estimates from Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) in a coarse‐resolution variational ocean reanalysis system (2000–2014). The methodology proves able to shape the heat content tendencies according to the EEI estimates, without compromising the reanalysis accuracy. Spurious variability and underestimation (overestimation) present in experiments with in situ (no) data assimilation disappear when EEI data are assimilated. The warming hiatus present without the assimilation of EEI data is mitigated, inducing ocean warming at depths below 1,500 m and slightly larger in the Southern Hemisphere, in accordance with recent studies. Furthermore, the methodology may be applied to Earth System reanalyses and climate simulations to realistically constrain the global energy budget.
Preservation of Midlatitude Ice Sheets on Mars
Authors: Bramson A. M. , Byrne S. , Bapst J. 
Published: October 2017

AbstractExcess ice with a minimum age of tens of millions of years is widespread in Arcadia Planitia on Mars, and a similar deposit has been found in Utopia Planitia. The conditions that led to the formation and preservation of these midlatitude ice sheets hold clues to past climate and subsurface structure on Mars. We simulate the thermal stability and retreat of buried excess ice sheets over 21 Myr of Martian orbital solutions and find that the ice sheets can be orders of magnitude older than the obliquity cycles that are typically thought to drive midlatitude ice deposition and sublimation. Retreat of this ice in the last 4 Myr could have contributed ~6% of the volume of the north polar layered deposits (NPLD) and more than 10% if the NPLD are older than 4 Myr. Matching the measured dielectric constants of the Arcadia and Utopia Planitia deposits requires ice porosities of ~25–35%. We model geothermally driven vapor migration through porous ice under Martian temperatures and find that Martian firn may be able to maintain porosity for timescales longer than we predict for retreat of the ice.

Published: October 2017

AbstractNitric oxide (NO) is a crucial signaling molecule with various functions in physiological systems. Due to its potent biological effect, the preparation of responsive biomaterials upon NO having temporally transient properties is a challenging task. This study represents the first therapeutic‐gas (i.e., NO)‐responsive hydrogel by incorporating a NO‐cleavable crosslinker. The hydrogel is rapidly swollen in response to NO, and not to other gases. Furthermore, the NO‐responsive gel is converted to enzyme‐responsive gels by cascade reactions from an enzyme to NO production for which the NO precursor is a substrate of the enzyme. The application of the hydrogel as a NO‐responsive drug‐delivery system is proved here by revealing effective protein drug release by NO infusion, and the hydrogel is also shown to be swollen by the NO secreted from the cultured cells. The NO‐responsive hydrogel may prove useful in many applications, for example drug‐delivery vehicles, inflammation modulators, and as a tissue scaffold.
