Authors: Poyarkov Sergei Yur'evich , Goncharov Vitalii Viktorovich , Petrenko Elena Gennad'evna , Borisova Anna Anatol'evna 
Published: February 2024

This article is devoted to the analysis of public tax control in the Russian Federation. The paper substantiates the role and place of the institute of public control as the most important legal guarantee for the implementation and protection of not only constitutional principles (first of all, the principles of democracy and participation of Russian citizens in the management of state affairs), but also the entire system of human and civil rights and freedoms, as well as the rights and legitimate interests of public associations and other non-governmental non-profit organizations. The authors analyze various points of view in domestic and foreign educational and scientific literature on the concept, content and limits of public tax control in Russia. The article formalizes and substantiates the authors' definition of the concept of "public tax control". The article uses a number of scientific research methods: formal-logical; comparative-legal; historical-legal; statistical; sociological; financial analysis; method of analyzing specific legal situations. The organization and implementation of public tax control in the Russian Federation are associated with numerous problems: the lack of consolidation of the institution of public tax control in the country's Constitution and current legislation; insufficient elaboration in the Russian scientific legal doctrine of the concept, content, limits of public tax control, a list of specific forms, methods and types of its activities; lack of subjects of public control (including subjects of public tax control) real powers; insufficient level of development of financial, property, organizational and legal base of subjects of public control; lack of specialized subjects of public tax control; weak use of foreign positive experience in organizing and implementing tax control of civil society institutions; lack of consolidation in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation of measures of increased legal responsibility for countering legitimate activities of representatives of subjects of public tax control. The article develops and substantiates a system of measures to resolve these problems.
Climate Change and Women Health Vulnerabilities: Towards Mitigation and Response
Authors: Sahoo Sasmita 
Published: February 2024

Climate change affects all genders in myriad ways and causes catastrophic health hazards. While no one is safe from this unfolding risks, women are already disadvantaged and become most affected by climate change. Poor air quality, contaminated water, food insecurity, spread of vector borne diseases, disruption of sanitation and rising temperature etc. have overwhelming negative health impacts on women, especially on the reproductive health. Furthermore, climate policies in India lack gender sensitivity because of low awareness making women health more vulnerable. With this backdrop, the current paper has identified key areas of vulnerability among females due to their biology and the existing socio-cultural factors. In addition to the existing issues women are less likely to have accessibility of the resources to enjoy their fundamental health rights. There fore the current paper discuses better strategies for mitigation and response to climate change with the active participation of women, families and the whole community. After looking at various findings the paper concludes the need of the gender sensitive approach in the process of mitigation and response.

Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride is used to treat muscle spasms brought on by acute, uncomfortable musculoskeletal diseases. The primary objective of this work is to develop accurate, quick and precise HPLC method for Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride. The method used is a Central Composite Design to get exact data for the procedure. Various parameters were used to validate and to develop method. The optimized model for the analysis of Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride was found to have an area 8.3239. This optimization was done on the C18 analytical column(Agilent) with mobile phase as methanol: 0.01 % Orthophosphoric acid (61:39 v/v) and a flow rate maintain was 0.9 ml/min with a detection wavelength of 224 nm. With the use of a correlation coefficient (r2=0.999), the linearity of Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride in the 5–25 ug/ml range was determined. The accuracy values were discovered to fall between 99.86 and 100.71%. While the robustness was shown to be less than 0.06 for flow rate and for wavelength was 0.09 % RSD, also the intraday and interday precision were determined to be under 0.28 and 0.29 % RSD. The most effective approach for analysing Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride is the one that has been presented. The development and validation of the HPLC technique for Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride were assessed.

Since their initial indications as the ultimate treatment for certain serious pathologies, plasma exchanges (PE) have been utilized as frontline therapies up to lifesaving interventions. In this observational study conducted at the Mohammed V Military Training Hospital Blood Transfusion Center from January 2016 to December 2019, we aimed to elucidate the practical modalities and therapeutic indications of plasma exchanges. Our findings revealed that among the patients treated, the majority suffered from neurological pathologies (37%), followed by autoimmune pathologies such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and thrombotic microangiopathy (25%), and finally haematological and nephrological pathologies, each representing 19%. These results align with existing literature, emphasizing the prevalence of neurological indications for plasma exchanges.
Moreover, the study showcased the effectiveness of plasma exchanges in various neurological conditions, with notable sessions for myasthenia, multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis, polyradiculoneuritis, and meningoencephalitis. For nephrological pathologies, the sessions were primarily conducted for patients with ANCA+ intra-alveolar haemorrhage and Wegener's disease. Additionally, plasma exchanges demonstrated significant clinical improvements in patients with haematological pathologies, such as Waldenstrom's disease and hemolytic anaemia, and autoimmune diseases like thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and thrombotic microangiopathy.
Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of collaboration between the transfusion centre and clinical and biological services for optimal patient management. The insights gained contribute to the broader understanding of plasma exchange applications in various pathologies, emphasizing its role as a crucial therapeutic intervention.

Published: February 2024

Social media can be a fantastic agricultural intervention tool, providing dependable information and knowledge to farmers who are not yet addressed at the appropriate time. Extension must be implemented using the newest technology in a world where knowledge drives change in order to persuade and assist farmers. Social media is like a revolution in todays’ time in every aspect and sector resulting in why the study was made. The socioeconomic characteristics of the commercial vegetable growers of Khordha and Puri districts of Odisha was scheduled in order to determine the level of access, information towards their utility of social media for agricultural purpose. For this survey, 90 respondents in total were chosen at random. Pre-structured interview schedules were used to gather the data, and relevant statistical analysis was carried out to determine the respondents' socio-economic profile. The majority of vegetable growers, or 56.67% of the population, were found to be middle-aged; 60% of farmers had families of fewer than five people; 51.11 percent of farmers belonged to the general caste; and 36.67% had completed middle school. It was also discovered that majority (55.56%) of the respondents were marginal farmers with less than 2.5 acres of land, the majority (40.00%) had yearly incomes ranging from (50,000 to 100,000) thousand and 32.22 percent were members of only two organisations. In terms of extension contacts, the data revealed that agricultural input merchants were the most prevalent among vegetable growers, with majority of them (63.33%) having a medium level of extension contacts. 90% of farmers were classified as having a medium level of social media access.
Isolation, Identification, and Antibiogram of Colistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from Rivers in and around Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Lakhey Pooja , Pant Shyam Prasad , Parajuli Pramila 
Published: February 2024

Background: Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen, poses an escalating threat in clinical settings due to the rise of multidrug-resistant infections. Despite its clinical significance, there exists a considerable gap in understanding its environmental dissemination.
Aims and Objectives: The primary objective is to examine the distribution of A. baumannii and its antibiotic resistance in river ecosystems. Specifically, we aim to identify strains resistant to Colistin, a last-resort antibiotic, and elucidate the susceptibility patterns to other antibiotics.
Materials and Methods: Water samples from 10 rivers were collected and subjected to analysis using Leeds Acinetobacter Agar Base and a series of biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility testing, focusing on Colistin resistance, was performed using standard procedures.
Results: Out of the 284 isolated strains, 14 (4.9%) exhibited resistance to Colistin, while demonstrating varying susceptibility patterns to other antibiotics. Notably, Gentamycin showed effectiveness against resistant strains (14.28%), while Ceftazidime resistance was complete. Colistin-sensitive strains displayed high susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin (84.44%) and lower susceptibility to Chloramphenicol (53.33%). Carbapenem susceptibility was observed across all isolates.
Conclusion: The study underscores a concerning environmental presence of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii in rivers around Kathmandu Valley, with Sundarijal being the exception. The findings emphasize the necessity of scrutinizing environmental reservoirs for pathogen spread, advocating for heightened awareness of potential health implications beyond clinical settings. Urgent attention is needed to comprehend and counteract the emergence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance, necessitating comprehensive strategies and continued surveillance
Does it pay to plan?: Strategic planning and financial performance
Authors: Baker Gregory A. , Leidecker Joel K. 
Published: October 2004

AbstractPrevious research on the effects of strategic planning on firm performance has yielded inconsistent and inconclusive findings. In this study, we use a recently validated measurement model of strategic planning to examine the planning‐performance relationship in the California processing tomato industry. Results indicate a strong correlation between the degree of emphasis firms place on strategic planning and financial performance. Moreover, several specific strategic planning tools, specifically, the use of a mission statement, long‐term goals, and ongoing evaluation, were also more heavily emphasized by high‐performing firms. These results suggest that strategic planning does pay off in terms of improved financial performance and that some planning tools may have a significant impact.

A note on measuring returns to nonprice export promotion
Authors: Kinnucan Henry W. , Myrland Øystein 
Published: October 2004

AbstractFor nonprice promotion to benefit producers, it must raise the farm price. This principle seems not to be widely appreciated. In particular, a formula commonly used to measure returns to export promotion does not reflect price enhancement and therefore is problematic. An additional problem is that marginal returns, the usual measure provided in the literature, are often confused with average returns. This article discusses these issues in some detail using as an example salmon promotion in France and Germany. Study results suggest that promotion elasticity‐based measures of returns can be misleading, especially in instances where producers or consumers are sensitive to price.

Home treatment of deep venous thrombosis with low molecular weight heparin: Long‐term incidence of recurrent venous thromboembolism
Authors: Grau Enric , Tenias Jose M. , Real Esperanza , Medrano Jose , Ferrer Rosario , Pastor Emilio , Selfa Salvador 
Published: October 2004

AbstractOutpatient treatment of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) seems as safe and effective as inpatient treatment with unfractionated heparin (UFH). However, most of the randomized trials comparing a LMWH with UFH described clinical outcomes within 3–6 months. The long‐term incidence of recurrent VTE after treatment of DVT with LMWH remains to be established. The primary objective of this retrospective study was to document the long‐term incidence of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with DVT treated with a LMWH, nadroparin in an outpatient basis. The patients were evaluated 46 months after inclusion in two cohorts comparing home treatment with nadroparin (n = 130) with in‐hospital treatment with intravenous UFH (n = 149). More than 60% of the patients in the nadroparin group could be treated at home, either entirely or after a short stay in hospital. The age‐adjusted thrombosis‐free survival was not statistically significant between nadroparin and UFH‐treated patients (P = 0.084). There was a nonsignificant trend favoring nadroparin as compared with UFH. The hazard ratio (HR) for recurrent VTE in the nadroparin group with respect to the UFH group was 0.44 (95% confidence interval, 0.17–1.12). No significant differences were observed in overall mortality or major hemorrhage between the two treatment groups. Our study suggests that home treatment of DVT with LMWH is at least as effective and safe as in‐hospital UFH after a long‐term follow‐up period. Am. J.

Published: October 2004

AbstractBackgroundTo design questionnaires for epidemiologic research among children of migrant farmworkers, researchers need to consider ways to best solicit information about pesticide exposures.MethodsBilingual facilitators conducted five focus groups with either migrant farmworker mothers or their children (age range 8–16 years) in southern Texas and northeastern Colorado. Guided questions were used to assess activities of migrant farmworker children and the ways to best elicit information about exposure to pesticides.ResultsParticipants reported a large number of activities that may potentially expose children to pesticides through both direct and indirect routes. Prompting, indirect questions about chemical use, and use of local and trusted facilitators increased information elicited from focus group participants.ConclusionsThese focus groups helped to provide information for developing questionnaire items related to pesticide exposure among migrant farmworker children, and highlighted the importance of using bilingual community interviewers and including children as respondents.

Published: October 2004

AbstractBackgroundThere is little research into the long‐term health effects of pesticides and other agricultural exposures among seasonal and migrant farmworkers in the United States. We present results of a feasibility study that established a cohort of farmworkers for use in epidemiologic research.MethodsSubjects consisted of migrant and seasonal farmworkers who joined the cohort while seeking social services through members of the Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs (AFOP) and were entered in the National Farmworker Database (NFD) between the end of 1997 and March 1999. We designed an add‐on interview with information that enhanced the utility of the database for epidemiologic research.ResultsWe recruited and obtained basic demographic and employment information on 5,597 farmworkers at very modest cost and effort. Subjects were mostly seasonal (61.5%), female (56.7%), and Hispanic (67.4%), with a median age of 27. Most (62.6%) had not completed high school; almost all (99.1%) reported being U.S. citizens or permanent residents, an eligibility requirement for some of the services provided by AFOP. The majority (62.5%) had engaged in farmwork for less than 10 years, but had performed a wide variety of tasks on different crops, including row crops and tree fruits. Picking was the most common task reported. Most subjects had performed farmwork in Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Michigan, or Georgia. For usual source of health care, 63.7% reported use of U.S. hospitals or emergency rooms/clinics, 42.0% U.S. private physicians, and 29.7% migrant health clinics. Among subjects reporting a prior diagnosis of cancer, primary sources of health care for treatment of that cancer included U.S. private physicians (61.9%), U.S. hospitals or emergency rooms/clinics (23.8%), and migrant health clinics (10.5%).ConclusionsResults suggest that by adding a brief interview to the existing NFD data collection process, which was designed for other purposes, it is feasible to create an efficient tool for conducting longitudinal epidemiologic research among farmworkers.

Authors: Palmer Keith T. , Griffin Michael J. , Syddall Holly , Pannett Brian , Cooper Cyrus , Coggon David 
Published: October 2004

AbstractBackgroundAlthough some occupational sources of hand‐transmitted vibration (HTV) have been extensively investigated, the risks associated with others are poorly characterized.MethodsA questionnaire was mailed to a community sample of 12,240 men aged 16– 64 years and 906 men from the armed forces. Questions covered current occupation, sources of HTV, numbness or tingling in the fingers in the past week, and finger blanching. In the 5,364 respondents who had been at work in the past week, associations between symptoms and exposures were examined by logistic regression, with odds ratios converted into prevalence ratios (PRs).ResultsAltogether, 513 men (10%) reported cold‐induced finger blanching and 769 (14%) sensory symptoms in the fingers. The risk of blanching was increased in builders (PR 2.4, 95% CI 1.0–5.2), carpenters and joiners (PR 1.9, 95% CI 1.0–3.4), motor mechanics (PR 2.3, 95% CI 1.1–4.6), and laborers (PR 2.8, 95% CI 1.3–6.0); while the risk of sensory symptoms was elevated in laborers (PR 4.0, 95% CI 2.3–6.6) and plant operatives (PR 3.5, 95% CI 1.9–5.9). Use of hand‐guided mowers, concrete breakers, chain saws, and jig saws was significantly associated with symptoms.ConclusionsLittle attention has been paid to the risks of vibration injury in construction workers, woodworkers, motor mechanics, and laborers, or to the risks from mowers, jig saws and several other common vibratory tools. These should be a focus for further investigation and preventive measures. Am. J. Ind. Med. 39:389–396, 2001. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Measuring psychosocial job strain with the job content questionnaire using experienced job evaluators

Published: October 2004

AbstractBackgroundA union/management system of job evaluation has been in place in the British Columbia (BC) sawmill industry since the late 1960s. This system uses an instrument, very similar to the job content questionnaire (JCQ) to evaluate psychosocial work conditions for sawmill jobs.MethodsFour experienced evaluators, one from the union and three from industry, independently estimated psychosocial work conditions for 54 current job titles in a “typical” coastal sawmill using a shortened, 18‐question version of the JCQ questionnaire.ResultsInter‐rater reliability was acceptable for control but not for co‐worker social support, physical demand, or psychological demand. Reliability was least for psychological demand.ConclusionsExperienced job evaluators in the sawmill industry were able to reliably estimate only the control dimension of the JCQ. The observed lowest reliability for psychological job demand may be due to the imprecise construct definition in the domain of the JCQ instrument. Am. J. Ind.

Authors: Fishwick D. , Allan L.J. , Wright A. , Barber C.M. , Curran A.D. 
Published: October 2004

AbstractBackgroundHemp dust exposure is associated with byssinosis and accelerated lung loss in longitudinal studies. The immunological changes associated with hemp dust exposure are less well understood.MethodsWe studied a small group of current male hemp processors with a mean age of 43 years. Questionnaire data, lung function, serial FEV1 and blood were collected from all workers.ResultsIn total, seven workers (64%) complained of at least one respiratory symptom (one with byssinosis). The mean percentage predicted FEV1 was 91.5, FVC 97.7, PEF 92.1, and FEF25–75 79.5. Serial FEV1 measurements in the two workers with work‐related respiratory symptoms revealed a mean change in FEV1 on the first working day of −12.9%. This contrasted with +6.25% on the last working day. Respective values for the two workers without work‐related symptoms were −1.4 and +3.2%.ConclusionsLung function changes and abnormalities in a profile of cell surface activation markers and antibodies were noted to relate to the presence of work‐related respiratory symptoms, not seen in the control group.
