Authors: Jeanne-Claire Patin  , Matiur Rahman  , Michael E. Roach  
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this paper is to empirically re-explore the effects of current and lagged R&D expenditures on Tobin’s Q for selected ten US IT companies (Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Facebook/ Meta, Dell Technologies, Intel Corp, IBM, HP Inc, Cisco Systems, Oracle). These companies have been selected for their visible and enduring dominance in term of market-capitalization in the US IT sector. They belong to the magnificent 7 as well that approximately constitute 30% of the S&P 500 index value. The empirical methodology involves the implementation of the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) upon satisfying the statistical requirements for its suitability. Annual data are used with differing sample periods across these companies due to complete availability of data. Unduly wide variabilities are observed in their year-to-year R&D expenditures. The current and lagged explanatory variables negatively correlate with current Tobin’s Q with some minor exceptions. Their net effects range from zero to negative in most cases, amid a few exceptions. To conclude, the findings are conditioned on how the spendings for R&D are expensed and the length of the gestation period between R&D spending and the unpredictable outcomes. The findings of this paper are supported by de Andres et al (2017, 2021), Oriani and Sabrero (2008), Coad and Rao (2010), Arad and Weill (2007), and Li and Tallman (2011).

Authors: Oronje Sally Jepkosgei , Kipmerewo Mary , Okoth John 
Published: March 2024

Childbirth is a stressful event in women’s lives and could influence emotions which may lead to mental ill health like depression in the postnatal period if not resolved. Depression is a common mental disorder with serious consequences especially during the postpartum period. The prevalence of postpartum depression varies globally, and can be as low as 0.5% or as high as 60.8% in the first year after childbirth. Due to its detrimental impacts, postpartum depression is a serious public health problem. Debriefing is a type of interpersonal therapy, utilized to treat and prevent serious depressive disorders in both pregnant women and the general adult population. Although debriefing has been shown to be useful in both preventing and treating postpartum depression, its effectiveness has not been fully evaluated. The purpose of the study was to assess factors influencing the effectiveness of midwife-led debriefing on prevention of Postpartum Depression in Western region, of Kenya. The study used a quasi-experimental design with pre and post-test assessments. Systematic random sampling was used to identify and allocate participants. The target population was women of childbearing age and study participants were women who gave birth during the study period, of which a sample of 212 participated. Data were collected using standard questionnaire including Edinburg postpartum depression scale (EPDS) score and an interview schedule. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. Chi-square was used to test association between variables. Logistic regression model was used to assess the influence of time-based outcome, based on social cultural and demographic characteristics of women on prevention of postpartum depression. Study results indicated that parity, Age, living together with spouse and social support (p=0.004; p=0.003; p=0.002) were significant factors. Additionally, it showed that social support significantly reduced the symptoms of postpartum depression. In conclusion, at the 5% significance level, the key factor was social support (p=0.001) <0.05 which showed that participants postpartum depression symptoms decreased greatly. Midwife led debriefing is recommended as a routine care during perinatal period. Further studies to be done to explore how social support influences midwife led debriefing on prevention of Postpartum depression.

The Sweet Revolution: Sustainable Development of Honey Sector in Rajasthan, India- a Value Chain Based Approach
Authors: Dr. S. R. Singh Mohammad Faraz Naim, 
Published: March 2024

The primary objective to undertake this current study is to examine the Honey sector, specifically in the Rajasthan region of India. In particular, a value chain based approach is utilized to understand the existing challenges and prospects of the sector. In addition, the study aims to provide recommendations to strengthen the production, distribution, and sustainable development of Honey sector. India, being an agro economy, agriculture and allied activities constitute a substantial chunk of India’s GDP. Rajasthan, the largest state in terms of area in India, is well-known because of its abundant biodiversity and is acknowledged as the top crop producer, accounting for an estimated 50% of the country's supply of seed spices. Drawing from the body of existing literature, this study demonstrates how the Indian honey industry has not been able to live up to its potential and instead has fallen short of expectations. These factors include a lack of technological adoption, access to markets, and value chain development. A lack of governmental support, a lack of systematic marketing and distribution strategies, a lack of knowledge about beekeeping, limited access to sophisticated tools and technology integration, and a lack of chemicals required for efficient beekeeping and honey processing operations are the main obstacles impeding the rapid development of the honey's consumption industry. The primary approaches envisioned for the long-term growth of the honey industry should include effective methods of delivering components, knowledge-based methods of processing honey from bees, integration of processes that add value, and creation of market connections for local farmers, beekeepers, and honey producers. As a result, honey producers make more money while supporting the industry's participants' performance, profitability, and sustainable way of life. The findings of this study provide policymakers and government agencies with ideas on how to create programs for the long-term growth of Rajasthan’s honey sector.

Authors: POTAPOV V. , RUSAN S. , SIVACHENKO L. 
Published: March 2024

The object of study in the article is the working chamber of the chain unit. We consider its previously proposed threerod
model in the equilibrium position under the influence of gravity, the shape of which was determined using the angular
parameters αл and αп borrowed from experience. Here, in a new study, a variant of the analytical determination of these
parameters is proposed. To achieve the goal, transcendental equations are obtained and an algorithm for the successive
approximation method is developed to solve them. An algorithm used for numerical studies of the nature of changes in angles
αл, αп depending on the ratio of gravity forces applied in kinematic pairs and the crank rotation angle. The corresponding
graphs have been built. It has been established that the inclination of the plane of movement of the working parts of the
chamber does not affect the angular parameters obtained for the equilibrium position in the vertical plane.
REDUCING THE KINEMATIC ERROR OF AN ECCENTRIC TRANSMISSION
WITH A PARALLEL LOCATION OF INPUT AND OUTPUT SHAFT
AS A RESULT OF THE APPLICATION OF A DOUBLE-FLOW LOADING SCHEME
Authors: GROMYKO P. , KHATETOVSKY S. , TRUSOV I. 
Published: March 2024

The article presents kinematic diagrams and computer analysis of three types of eccentric transmission schemes.
The graphical dependences of the kinematic error of the eccentric transmission are presented for the coaxial and
parallel arrangement of the input and output shafts in two single-flow loading schemes. Computer analysis of an
eccentric transmission with single-flow loading schemes showed that the kinematic error with the coaxial arrangement
of the input and output shafts is 30 times lower than with the parallel arrangement of these shafts. In order to reduce
the kinematic error of an eccentric transmission with a parallel arrangement of input and output shafts, a two-flow
loading scheme was proposed. It has been established that the use of a double-flow loading scheme makes it possible
to reduce the kinematic error by 12 times compared to a single-flow loading scheme with a load on the output shaft
of 10 N∙m.
It is planned to use the design of an eccentric transmission with a parallel arrangement of input and output
shafts with several power flows when designing various types of gearboxes for cultivators.

Published: March 2024

A Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) proporciona ferramentas contributivas para o processo de formação profissional e, atualmente, não deve ser dissociada do ambiente educacional, onde os saberes são transitórios e a busca incessante pela informação torna-se necessária para a construção de novos conhecimentos. O objetivo do estudo é avaliar a percepção do uso da Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação nos processos ensino-aprendizagem sob a ótica de docentes da área da saúde de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) privada do interior paulista. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório-descritivo, com abordagem metodológica mista. O estudo foi realizado com 112 docentes dos cursos de Educação Física, Enfermagem, Farmácia, Fisioterapia, Nutrição, Odontologia e Psicologia da IES do interior paulista. Utilizou-se um instrumento de coleta de dados com 16 perguntas, sendo: 07 para a caracterização do docente, 08 objetivas sobre a utilização das TIC na prática docente e 01 espaço para comentários. A análise quantitativa ocorreu por meio de estatística descritiva e a análise qualitativa por meio de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados demonstraram que a maioria dos docentes da IES constituem-se mestres e doutores, na faixa etária entre 37 e 57 anos e acreditam que a TIC apoia o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Conclui-se que, os entrevistados acreditam que a TIC auxilia no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, pois os universitários foram inseridos naturalmente ao uso de ferramentas tecnológicas, permitindo maior interação entre docente e aluno, bem como favorecendo a troca e a construção de saberes.
