A new method for assessing the marketing efficiency of agricultural marketing channels
Authors: Abad Arif , Maaz Mohd Abdul Muqeet , Shamsi Mohd Salman 
Published: July 2024

Purpose. This study aims to introduce a new method for assessing the efficiency of agricultural marketing channels. This innovative method rectifies the deficiencies inherent in earlier methods by encircling all channel participants in evaluating marketing efficiency, thereby delivering a more detailed assessment.
Methodology / approach. The present study first identified the shortcomings of the old methods based on a literature review and then attempted to propose a new method for calculating marketing efficiency by overcoming these issues. The efficiency of marketing channels is calculated based on primary data collected from two randomly selected agriculture markets in Delhi, marketing cooperative societies operating in Delhi, and their respective intermediaries, flour mills, and consumers in the channel. The study’s sample size is 179 respondents, including all the channel members. After that, a comparison is made between traditional methods and the proposed method.
Results. Results of this study show that the proposed method gives a better idea of the efficiency of marketing channels than the old methods, namely the Acharya’s approach, the Shepard’s method and the input-output approach. These methods ignore the crucial role of producers, focusing on overall margins and costs. They can call a channel efficient even if producers receive minimal benefits, necessitating a revised approach. The proposed method has two parts: (1) the ratio of overall channel benefit to cost, excluding consumers, to avoid misleading results, indicating higher benefits for channel members; (2) the ratio of the net price received by farmers to the price paid by consumers, reflecting farmer earnings. By separating marketing margins and costs, the proposed method simplifies previous complexities. Using the channel benefit-to-cost ratio and the farmer’s price-to-consumer price ratio, this method offers an accurate and comprehensive assessment, addressing flaws in Acharya’s approach.
Originality / scientific novelty. The proposed method is the only method that takes care of every channel member rather than just focusing on producers / farmers. This method considers factors such as the price received by farmers (gross and net), marketing margins, marketing costs, and the price paid by consumers. Unlike old methods, this method focuses on adding value per channel, not on the number of intermediaries.
Practical value / implications. The proposed method facilitates an effortless comparison of marketing efficiency for all channel members, especially farmers. Its simplicity makes it a valuable tool for policymakers to formulate effective strategies for enhancing overall channel efficiency. Researchers can also use this method in efficiency-focused studies related to agriculture and its products, gaining a comprehensive understanding of agricultural marketing channels.
Reestructuración productiva y flexibilización laboral. Una revisión de los impactos del cambio organizativo y tecnológico sobre el trabajo
Authors: Del Bono Andrea 
Published: July 2024

Este artículo ofrece una lectura retrospectiva sobre las motivaciones que impulsaron nuestro trabajo de investigación doctoral, en el cual revelamos la cara oculta del proceso de reestructuración productiva y modernización tecnológica llevado a cabo por Telefónica de España a finales de la década de 1990. En aquella oportunidad, investigamos el impacto menos visible de ese proceso de reestructuración en la organización del trabajo y las condiciones laborales de los empleados/as de la compañía, así como en los/as trabajadores/as afectados por la externalización de los servicios de atención al cliente.

Específicamente, aprovechando la perspectiva que otorga el tiempo transcurrido, el texto reconsidera algunos de las problemáticas clave que guiaron nuestro trabajo y que siguen siendo relevantes para el campo de la Sociología del Trabajo, como la flexibilización productiva y la tercerización laboral. A partir de un recorrido que hilvana los hallazgos de la tesis doctoral con las investigaciones posteriores, que amplificaron sus interrogantes iniciales, tratamos de evidenciar ciertas líneas de continuidad entre las tendencias de flexibilización de la producción que se iniciaron en el contexto de la reestructuración productiva de los años noventa y las dinámicas contemporáneas de tercerización laboral en el marco de los procesos de reestructuración y digitalización de la economía contemporánea.

Authors: Bader Husam , Farraj Husam , Maghnam Joud , Abu Omar Yazan 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain species of mushrooms, is known for its effects on anxiety and depression. It has recently gained increasing interest for its potential therapeutic effects, particularly in patients with advanced cancer. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the effects of psilocybin on adult patients with advanced cancer.
AIM
To investigate the therapeutic effect of psilocybin in patients with advanced cancer.
METHODS
A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Google Scholar for articles published up to February 2023. The reference lists of the included studies were also searched to retrieve possible additional studies.
RESULTS
A total of 7 studies met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review, comprising 132 participants. The results revealed significant improvements in quality of life, pain control, and anxiety relief following psilocybin-assisted therapy, specifically results on anxiety relief. Pooled effect sizes indicated statistically significant reductions in symptoms of anxiety at both 4 to 4.5 months [35.15 (95%CI: 32.28-38.01)] and 6 to 6.5 months [33.06 (95%CI: 28.73-37.40)]. Post-administration compared to baseline assessments (P < 0.05). Additionally, patients reported sustained improvements in psychological well-being and existential distress following psilocybin therapy.
CONCLUSION
The findings provided compelling evidence for the potential benefits of psilocybin-assisted therapy in improving quality of life, pain control, and anxiety relief in patients with advanced cancer.

Indian gooseberry juice (20% (v/v) was reconstituted with 5% ginger juice (v/v) extracted from freshly harvested rhizomes, 2% each of turmeric rhizome powder and black pepper powder (w/v), followed by raising the total soluble solids to 130Brix by adding sugar syrup. Finally, 5% acid lime juice of 2.45% of titratable citric acid was added to the entire mixture in order to impart a fruity flavour to the product. The entire mixture was homogenized at 175 Bar (2500 psi) with a speed of 235 rpm and was subsequently pasteurized at 1000C for 10 minutes. LC-MS/MS analysis detected phenolic compounds (2-galloyl glucose, 2,6-galloyl glucose), capsaicinoids, curcuminoids, gingerol and shogaol. Though cyclophosphamide significantly inhibited the relative weight of thymus from 0.193 ± 0.048 in normal mice to 0.077 ± 0.034, treatment with the herbal drink significantly increased the relative weight of thymus, showing increased T cell differentiation. Mice treated with the drink showed marginal increase in the WBC count, indicating recovery of immunity. Recovery of bone marrow cellularity in mice fed with the herbal drink was directly proportional to the concentration of the drink. Increase in a-esterase activity was also directly proportional to the concentration of herbal beverage.

A partir de 20 de abril de 2021, foi lançada no Brasil a “Década da Ciência Oceânica para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável” (2021-2030), alinhada com a proposta da ONU da “Década dos Oceanos” para conscientizar a população em todo o mundo sobre sua importância e mobilizar atores públicos, privados e da sociedade civil em ações que favoreçam a saúde e a sustentabilidade dos mares. Os pescadores artesanais dependem diretamente dos oceanos para sua sobrevivência. Muitos desses pescadores vem enfrentando desafios, como a pesca excessiva, a poluição dos oceanos, a degradação dos habitats marinhos e as mudanças climáticas, que ameaçam a sustentabilidade de suas atividades. Nesse sentido o conhecimento da realidade de vida dos pescadores se mostra uma importante ferramenta para desenvolvimento de projetos que auxiliem, capacitem e promovam a manutenção das tradições da pesca artesanal. O presente trabalho aborda um projeto de caracterização e ações junto à Comunidade de Pescadores Artesanais em Paquetá. O objetivo principal foi compreender a atividade pesqueira da pesca artesanal, seus desafios socioambientais e fornecer insights valiosos com o potencial de orientar ações que promovam a sustentabilidade da pesca e melhorem as condições de vida das comunidades pesqueiras. Este estudo foi subdividido em seções, na primeira uma caracterização pessoal dos pescadores e da atividade pesqueira foi realizada. Dados referentes as artes de pesca utilizadas, meio flutuante, esforço de pesca, espécies capturadas e entraves a atividade foram registrados. Em seguida, as relações socioambientais foram analisadas, incluindo a complexa ligação com os ecossistemas marinhos e percepções em relação aos efeitos prejudiciais da poluição sobre a pesca. Nos entraves da atividade, a poluição ocupou um papel de destaque, seguida da falta de organização adequada no setor. Uma grande parcela de pescadores declarou não possuir registro geral da pesca (RGP) e desconhecer seus direitos. A arte de pesca mais utilizada foi a rede de emalhe e espera. Foram identificadas 19 espécies de pescado mais capturados. Como desdobramento da caracterização oficinas de capacitação foram implementadas e também realizadas rodadas de auxílio ao Registro Geral da Pesca (RGP)

Abstract
HIV/AIDS is one of the top-ranking infectious diseases that can lead to death. One of the five nations with a sizable number of cases is Indonesia. Out of Indonesia's 250 million people, the LGBT community numbers about 7.5 million. With 248 instances recorded, data from the Bandar Lampung City Health Office on HIV/AIDS cases at the Simpur Community Health Center, broken down by gender, reveals that men are more likely to contract the disease than women. The goal of this study is to examine the risk variables connected to the development of HIV/AIDS in men within the Simpur Community Health Center's service area in Bandar Lampung in 2023. A case-control strategy is used in the quantitative research methodology. There are 180 men in the study population, making 153 guys in the sample. Purposive sampling is the method of choice for sampling, while univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate (logistic regression) studies are employed for data analysis. According to the findings of the univariate analysis, 66.7% of people do not have HIV/AIDS while 33.3% have. HIV/AIDS and occupation (p-value=0.003), knowledge (p-value=0.005), marital status (p-value=0.0001), and sexual history (p-value=0.017) all show positive correlations in the bivariate analysis. Traumatic experiences have the highest impact on the likelihood of developing HIV/AIDS (p-value < 0.0001) and an odds ratio (OR) of 38613. Families, close friends, and healthcare professionals are urged to offer ongoing support, care, education, and counseling to HIV/AIDS patients in order to keep them motivated and stop the spread of the disease

Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) in Eastern Hindu Kush Region Using Integrated Geo-Statistical and Spatial Hydrological Approach
Authors: Sarwar Mariam , Mahmood Shakeel 
Published: July 2024

Glacier retreat, a major impact of climate change that continues to occur in many parts of the world, continues to increase the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in northern Pakistan. The rapid melting of glaciers in the mountains of Northern Pakistan, including the Hindu Kush, the Himalayas and the Karakoram, the rapid melting of glacier has led to the formation of 3044 glacial lakes, with 33 identified as particularly vulnerable to GLOFs. This study uses remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) methods for mapping and representing GLOFs. Based on the observational data of lake area, volume, and depth, empirical equations are developed through statistical methods. Only two lakes, Chitral-GL2 and Swat-G31, are classified as lakes with high potential for GLOF. Through modeling techniques using HEC-RAS and HEC-GeoRAS spatial hydrological models integrated with GIS remote sensing, the spatial extent and depth of inundations under different lake volumes are assessed. The analysis reveals that a total area of 20.56 km2 is susceptible to submersion by GLOFs, with Chitral-GL2 flooding area of 14.80 km2 and Swat-GL31 5.79 km2. Different land types are impacted by critical water depths, with built-up and agricultural lands 2.7 km2 totally, and barren lands 8.93 km2 under different flood depths ranging from less than 5 m to over 15 m.
