The Significant Role of Organizational Size on the Level of Non-Financial Performance Among Livestock and Poulrty Agribusiness Firms in Northern Mindanao, Philippines
Authors: Soliven Hazel E. 
Published: April 2024

This study assessed the level of Non-Financial Performance among livestock and poultry agribusiness firms in Northern Mindanao, Philippines and ascertained the significant role of organizational size. The study employed complete enumeration and used the responses of 307 farm workers in the provinces of Bukidnon, Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental and Camiguin Island. Descriptive-correlational research design was employed to accomplish the research objectives. Pre-tested questionnaire with Cronbach alpha of 0.979 was used to gather the data through personal interview. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the organizational size measured in terms of the number of employees and the level of non-financial performance among agribusiness firms. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) plus a post hoc test was performed using the Tukey test to assess the significance in the difference of the level of non-financial performance with respect to organizational size. Results revealed that the level of non-financial performance is high. Non-financial performance of livestock and poultry agribusiness firms significantly differs when grouped according to organizational size. It is recommended that multigroup comparison can also be made between micro, small, medium and large firms and between other agribusiness sub-sectors (cereal crop, fruit crop and vegetable crop production and processing; cooking oil production, sugar, starch and coffee production and processing).

Published: April 2024

The implications of wastewater discharge into marine ecosystems are gravely concerning due to their ability to trigger a chain reaction of contaminants that pose severe risks to both humans and aquatic life. Kuwait Bay is no exception, with numerous wastewater outfalls posing a threat to the marine environment on its southern coasts. This study sought to extensively evaluate the recreational water quality adjacent to wastewater outfalls at five specified sites and compare the results according to the KEPA's (Kuwait's Environmental Public Authority) guidelines. Field measurements and laboratory analyses were conducted to gauge various parameters associated with water quality, such as nutrients, heavy metals, fecal bacterial indicators (FBI), and pharmaceutical compounds. The results of field measurements indicated that two locations had insufficient DO levels with values < 4 mg/l below KEPA standards and brackish to saline water concerning Electrical conductivity (EC) measurements. However, the heavy metal results demonstrated mercury (Hg) pollution at all locations, whereas the nutrient data revealed significant PO4-P concentrations. Furthermore, EPA requirements were considerably exceeded for bacterial indicator counts (fecal coliforms, E. coli, and fecal streptococci), suggesting serious biological pollution at these locations and elevated concentrations of paracetamol and ranitidine have been detected in pharmaceutical compound analysis, particularly in location OC5. The study's findings emphasized the significance of periodic surveillance to ensure the ongoing improvement of water quality and public health in Kuwait's coastal zones and highlighted the dire need to address the extensive contamination by implementing measures to mitigate the dump of unprocessed wastewater into the sea.

Authors: Rozon Francois , McGregor Craig , Owen Michael 
Published: April 2024

To decarbonise industry, which accounts for half of the total energy demand, renewable and sustainable energy solutions must be embraced. Not only to meet electricity requirements but, more importantly, to substitute fossil fuels used to generate process heat. This research assesses the cost-benefits of renewable and sustainable energy solutions for the South African beverage sector, representing an estimated 3020 GWh in annual energy demand, and provides a framework for the broader adoption of these technologies. For South African beverage producers, the study concludes that investments in photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems will continue to take priority, given the favourable 17–21 % Year-1 return on capital. However, given spatial and capital constraints, the judicious planning of solar thermal energy system requirements is advocated, to address the in-situ nature of process heat generation.

ASSOCIÇÃO ENTRE A HIPERCOLESTEROLEMIA E HIPOVITAMINOSE D: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA DE LITERATURA
Authors: Vale Andressa Damasceno do , Lima Alessandre Gomes de , Lima Willian de Almeida , Santos Leonardo Matos 
Published: April 2024

Introdução: A hipovitaminose D tem despertado preocupação entre os profissionais de saúde devido aos diversos benefícios que a 25-hidroxivitamina D [25(OH)D] oferece ao organismo e aos prejuízos associados à sua deficiência. Estudos têm demonstrado que a vitamina D desempenha um papel crucial em uma variedade de processos biológicos, incluindo a regulação do metabolismo do cálcio e do fósforo, a saúde óssea, a função muscular, a saúde cardiovascular e imunológica, entre outros. Entretanto, apesar das evidências dos benefícios da vitamina D, ainda há debate sobre a eficácia da suplementação em certos contextos. Alguns estudos têm mostrado resultados positivos da suplementação de vitamina D em certas condições, como a prevenção de fraturas em idosos ou a redução do risco de infecções respiratórias em crianças. No entanto, outros estudos têm sido menos conclusivos, e há questões em aberto sobre dosagem ideal, duração da suplementação e populações que podem se beneficiar mais. Assim sendo, reconhece-se a importância de abordar esta temática na prática clínica. Objetivo: determinar a associação entre a hipercolesterolemia e a hipovitaminose D, elucidando a eficácia da suplementação dessa vitamina. Método: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, conduzida nas bases de dados do Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO) Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) e National Library of Medicine (PUBMED), com foco em estudos publicados entre 2016 e 2024. Resultados: dez estudos em um total de 697 preencheram os critérios de inclusão. Analisando os materiais, evidenciou-se relação da hipovitaminose D com diversas condições, incluindo doenças cardiovasculares, diabetes tipo 2 e dislipidemia. Essas análises também demonstraram uma relação inversa entre 25-hidroxivitamina D [25(OH)D] e a dislipidemia, apesar da influência de fatores externos. Conclusão: As evidencias cientificas comprovam a correlação da hipercolesteromia com a hipovitaminose D, o que pode ser constatado em pacientes com doenças cardiovasculares. Entretanto, reconhece-se a necessidade de estudos posteriores, os quais considerem fatores externos para uma elucidação mais fidedigna sobre esta temática, além disso, não há evidências suficientes de alta qualidade para apoiar a eficácia da suplementação de vitamina D.
Understanding the Religiosity-Political Participation Linkage among Muslim Women: Culturalism or Social Capital?

Understanding the Religiosity-Political Participation Linkage among Muslim Women: Culturalism or Social Capital?
In understanding Muslim women’s political participation across Western European countries, Islam and its supposed linkage to patriarchy have been problematised in culturalist arguments. Contrarily, political science and migration studies consider religiosity as social capital and, thus, a mobilising force. This tension may help explain why results on religiosity and political empowerment are mixed and help understand Muslim women’s political participation, giving the women at this intersection specific attention. Gender equality views, political interest, trust and collective action strategies are culturalist and social capital factors considered as linking different aspects of Islamic religiosity to institutional and non-institutional participation. We do so by taking a multi-study approach, analysing two different samples of Muslim women in the Netherlands. Results show that Islamic religiosity mostly fosters Muslim women’s political participation but that it also reduces non-institutional participation, whereby the results for trust, political interest and activity in civic organisations support the social capital explanation more than the culturalist one.
Ambitious Women: Hidden within the Party?

Ambitious Women: Hidden within the Party?
The underrepresentation of women can be partly attributed to political parties: when selecting candidates, parties recruit fewer women than men. A common justification is that there are not enough ambitious women in the party. In this article, we test this claim by answering (i) whether women express less political ambition than men; (ii) whether this has changed over time; and iii) whether and how internal political efficacy influences political ambition. Based on three survey waves among Dutch party members, we conclude that women are to the same extent as men attracted by a political function when becoming a party member. Moreover, there has been no change in political ambition over time. Lastly, we find that internal political efficacy mediates the effect of gender on political ambition. This article thus shows that there is only a small gender gap in ambition and that there are ambitious women in Dutch political parties.

HS 2002-HS 2017: Notes of the Tariff Nomenclature and the Additional Notes of the EU Revisited
Authors: Weerth Carsten 
Published: April 2024

The fundamental rules for the classification of goods in compliance with the Harmonized System (HS) for the description and coding of goods are, according to General Rule 1, solely the six general rules of classification, the terms of headings and notes (and according to General Rule 6, the terms of subheadings and subheading notes). The rules of the European Union (EU) tariff schedule are complex, and while the overall number of headings and subheadings is known, the notes of the HS nomenclature, the Combined Nomenclature (CN) and the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) of the EU have only been examined in a systematic way for the CN 2007. This paper reviews all notes (and subheading notes) which are in force worldwide by virtue of the HS 2017 (for sections and chapters), examines the previous versions of the HS (HS 2002, HS 2007, HS 2012) and also examines the sections and chapters in front of which the EU has placed further so called ‘additional notes’ in its CN which are only valid throughout the EU. The HS 2017 contains 386 notes and 63 subheading notes, which are valid worldwide. The EU has added 109 additional notes within the CN and the CCT (as of December 2016) that influence the implementation of the CCT by the application of different and more rigid definitions of goods and methods of analysis. Sixty per cent of the additional notes relate to agricultural goods (Chapters 1–24). The 558 notes of the CN are legal rules that apply to the 1,222 HS headings, 5,387 HS subheadings and 9,528 CN subheadings. This clearly demonstrates the complexity of the rules of the CCT which contains more than 16,500 legal rules for the classification of goods.

As enzimas representam compostos bioativos que regulam diversas alterações químicas nos tecidos vivos. Sua aplicação torna-se cada vez mais popular devido à sua capacidade de atender a diversas necessidades humanas, sendo amplamente empregadas em diversos setores industriais. As pectinases despontam como uma das enzimas mais produzidas comercialmente, devido às suas múltiplas aplicações em diversos setores industriais, como alimentício, têxtil e de biocombustíveis, representando aproximadamente 25 % das vendas totais de enzimas no mercado. Dessa maneira, este estudo teve como objetivo principal otimizar a produção de pectinase pelo fungo mesofílico PA3S20MB de Mata Atlântica e identificar as condições ideais para a dosagem enzimática, considerando os parâmetros de temperatura, tempo e pH, com a finalidade de explorar suas potenciais aplicações biotecnológicas. Os resultados foram avaliados através da dosagem de atividade enzimática e determinação de proteínas. A maior indução de pectinases pelo fungo PAS20MB ocorreu em cultivo com o meio Khanna, em condições estacionárias, durante 144 h a 28 °C, suplementado com 1 % de casca de maçã. Em relação ao efeito da temperatura, pH e tempo sobre a reação foram encontrados os maiores valores de atividade a 60 °C, pH 5 e em 5 min, respectivamente. No experimento com carvão ativado verificou-se que a concentração de 25 mg/mL foi a mais promissora para o clareamento do extrato enzimático bruto, pois manteve estável a atividade de pectinases e reduziu 80 % da concentração de proteínas. A partir dos resultados foi possível determinar as condições ótimas para produção de pectinases, assim como verificar as de dosagem enzimática e observar que o carvão ativado pode ser um método considerável em uma etapa de purificação.
