Published: October 2023

Farmers in developed and some developing countries have good financial stability. The size of the cultivated area is the key to the level of welfare of farmers, the more land that is managed, the greater income that will be obtained. In the end, it can provide Economic stability for the farmers themselves. On the other hand, 41% of farmers in developing countries can be categorized as small farmers who do not have enough income. Smallholder farmers here can be categorized as farmers with a cultivated area of approximately 1 hectare of land. In fact, FAO as a high-ranking organization that concentrates on agriculture and plantations states "small farmers need other side jobs to make ends meet". The above facts show the need for intervention from various parties in helping small farmers, especially in dealing with these problems. One of the community empowerment programs carried out by PT Pertagas OSSA is to keep small farmers alive with agricultural and plantation fields and businesses through social safety nets by creating other business units. Some of the business units that are used as social safety nets are: 1) utilization of empty bunch waste into mushroom growing media and organic fertilizer, 2) empowerment of women in productive Economic fields, 3) encouraging the creation of Eco edu tourism, 4) utilization and management of resources to meet basic water needs, and 5) utilization and management of infrastructure resources such as fishing ponds, swimming pools, selfie locations as tourist destinations in the middle of the plantation.

The current study included the collection of 120 clinical samples (diuresis, blood) from patients visiting Baghdad city hospitals (Yarmouk Teaching Hospital, Central Children's Teaching Hospital, and Baghdad Teaching Hospital) for the period from November 2022 to February 2023. 30 discharge samples were collected from healthy people as a control group. The samples were within different ages and genders ranging from 14 years to 52 years. 10% of the E bacteria have been isolated coli of blood and 150% of blood based on phenotypic and culture characteristics and biochemical tests and the diagnosis was confirmed using the phytic device.
The results of the sensitivity test of bacterial isolates using the tablet method of diffusion showed that most of the isolates were resistant to the antibiotics used, where the percentage of resistance to Tetracycline (96%), (84%) Nitrofurantoin, (82%) Ceftriaxone, (66%) Meropenem, (52%) Ciprofloaxcine, (70%) Gentamicin, (80%) Amikacin, (46%) Imipenem, Nalidixic acid (40%).
The antimicrobial activity of gold and titanium nanoparticles was evaluated against 15 bacterial isolates (5 isolated from diuretic samples, 5 exit samples, 5 blood samples) using the diffusion method by gratigran. The results showed that the nanoparticles had a clear inhibitory effect against the studied isolates where the average inhibition diameters ranged between 17-22 mm and the MIC value (Minimal inhibitory concentration) was between 64-126.

Shining Light on Photobleaching: An Artifact That Causes Unnecessary Excitation Among Pathologists
Authors: Samueli Benzion , Kezerle Yarden , Dreiher Jacob , Osipov Vladislav , Steckbeck Rachel , Vaknine Hananya , Baraban Joshua H. 
Published: October 2023

Context.—
Photobleaching artifact occurs when fluorescence intensity decreases following light exposure. Slides stained with fluorescent techniques may be stored in the dark until primary diagnostics. Experimental evidence suggesting the rate of photobleaching and necessity of dark storage is lacking.

Objective.—
To compare photobleaching rate on direct immunofluorescence and Thioflavin T slides stored in ambient room light conditions and exposed to excitatory wavelengths.

Design.—
During 2 iterations of the experiment, 45 slides were prepared, 42 with immunofluorescent antibodies plus 3 with thioflavin, from skin and kidney biopsies. The experimental group was stored in room light conditions in comparison to the control in the dark, at room temperature. Further, 1 immunofluorescence slide and 1 thioflavin slide were exposed to excitatory fluorescent light for several hours. Significant photobleaching was defined as an integer decrease in score (scale, 0–3).

Results.—
Exposure times ranged from 152 to 3034 hours. Nine of the 42 immunofluorescence slides (21%) photobleached after a minimum exposure of 152 hours to room light, with no significant difference between the experimental and control groups (all P values &gt;.05). The immunofluorescence slide exposed to fluorescent light for 4 hours showed marked photobleaching in the exposed field but not elsewhere. No thioflavin slides showed clinically significant photobleaching under any conditions.

Conclusions.—
Clinically significant photobleaching of slides exposed to room light may occur after a few days, but not a few hours (unless exposed to excitatory fluorescent light). Conversely, thioflavin-stained slides did not photobleach when exposed to ambient room air and photobleached only negligibly when exposed to excitatory fluorescent light.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
This research aims to model and analyze the queuing process for collecting Village Bansus funds using an exponential distribution-based simulation method. The exponential method is used to describe the time variability between the arrival of the applicant and the service time in the queue. By utilizing simulation software, this research will examine various fund collection scenarios, including the effect of the number of service personnel on applicant waiting times and the efficiency of the fund collection process.
It is hoped that the results of this simulation can provide recommendations for increasing efficiency in the process of collecting Village Bansus funds, including determining the optimal number of service officers. Apart from that, this research can also help village governments in planning and managing the Village Assistance program so that it can be more effective and responsive to community needs. This simulation provides important insight into how the queuing process can be optimized to improve the quality of service to applicants for Village Bansus funds.
2008, un año de conmemoraciones en la Comunidad de Madrid
Authors: Fernández Farreres Germán , Arévalo Gutiérrez Alfonso 
Published: October 2023

2008 ha sido un año de conmemoraciones en la Comunidad de Madrid: el Bicentenario del 2 de Mayo y de la Guerra de la Independencia; tres décadas desde la aprobación de la Constitución de 1978; y veinticinco años de andadura del autogobierno de la Comunidad de Madrid. En dicho escenario y presupuesta la amplia mayoría absoluta de la que goza el Partido Popular, cuyo Gobierno cuenta con el apoyo de sesenta y siete de los ciento veinte Diputados que conforman el Parlamento regional, el año inmediatamente posterior a las elecciones ha sido el momento que las tres formaciones políticas con representación parlamentaria han aprovechado para diseñar sus estrategias de futuro. La Presidenta de la Comunidad, Esperanza Aguirre, consolidó su posición al ser proclamada Presidenta del Partido Popular de Madrid, con el 96,34 por ciento de los votos, en el XIV Congreso Regional. En el Partido Socialista de Madrid, Tomás Gómez Franco fue reelegido como Secretario General, con un 85,7 % de los votos de los delegados participantes en el XI Congreso Regional. En Izquierda Unida Inés Sabanés Nadal sigue ostentando la Portavocía del Grupo Parlamentario en la Asamblea.
Las modificaciones en el régimen de invalidez de los contratos del Sector Público tras la aprobación de la Ley 34/2010, de 5 de agosto
Authors: Cid Villagrasa Blanca 
Published: October 2023

El 9 de septiembre por Ley 34/2010 entró en vigor la modificación de la Ley 30/2007 de 30 de octubre de Contratos del Sector Público. Entre las principales novedades que introduce pueden destacarse la regulación de un régimen de invalidez con nuevos supuestos especiales de nulidad de los contratos, la aparición de un nuevo procedimiento para la interposición de la cuestión de nulidad, una nueva regulación del recurso especial en materia de contratación pública, añadiendo un nuevo Libro VI a la Ley de Contratos, la creación de unos órganos independiente para la resolución de estos recurso especiales, la perfección de los contratos pasa del momento de la adjudicación al de su formalización y desaparece el doble trámite de adjudicación provisional y definitiva.
Pero la verdadera novedad se encuentra en la nueva regulación de este recurso administrativo en materia de contratación porque su interposición produce efectos suspensivos de forma automática para evitar las adjudicaciones ilegales, es de naturaleza exclusiva y potestativa y resuelto ante un órgano independiente. Exclusivo porque deja a un lado los recursos ordinarios; y potestativo porque no es precisa su interposición para dirigirse al contencioso-administrativo.
La reforma electoral: análisis y perspectivas
Authors: Aranda Álvarez Elviro 
Published: October 2023

La reforma electoral que se ha realizado en los últimos meses es, probablemente, una de las más importantes que se ha efectuado en los veinticinco años de vigencia de la LOREG. Desde luego, es la que ha conllevado un estudio más profundo para analizar los posibles cambios que mejorasen nuestro régimen electoral.
El trabajo que aquí se presenta estudia esa reforma electoral. Analiza las complejas vías que han llevado a las modificaciones efectuadas: tres Proposiciones de Ley y un buen número de Tratados Internacionales suscritos y ratificados por España. También, se analizan los cambios de fondo. Para unos, todo cuanto se podía hacer en este momento; para otros, cambios menores que aportan bien poco a los problemas que presenta nuestro modelo electoral.
Los asuntos centrales de la reforma y objeto del artículo son: el sistema que se ha seguido para el reconocimiento del derecho de sufragio activo en las elecciones municipales a los extranjeros residentes. La reforma de modelo de papeleta para la elección de los senadores. Las reformas en materia de censo para evitar los empadronamientos fraudulentos o de conveniencia. El nuevo sistema de voto de los españoles residentes en el extranjero. Los cambios realizados en las campañas electorales para evitar la interferencia en ellas de los poderes públicos y procurar reducir la propaganda y publicidad electoral.
Interdependence between business insurance and entrepreneurship and their impact on the economic growth
Authors: Njegomir Vladimir , Stojić Dragan , Demko-Rihter Jelena 
Published: October 2023

Research Question: What type of mutual relations exist between business insurance and entrepreneurship, and how do they impact economic growth? Motivation: The primary motive for the research is the identified literature gap in the field of interdependence between business insurance and entrepreneurship and their joint contribution to economic growth. Idea: To test whether the interdependence between business insurance and entrepreneurship exists and their combined contribution to economic growth. The following independent variables were used: premium per entrepreneur, solved claims per entrepreneur, total technical reserves, GDP/p.c., a measure of demographic variables in the form of education level, a measure of the impact of banking, and the measure for institutional factors in terms of establishment costs the number of entrepreneurs by years as the dependent variable was considered. Data: Data were gathered from various sources (Serbian Statistical Office, National Bank of Serbia, World Bank) in the period from 2008 to 2019. Tools: Descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and statistical tests. Findings: The presented results show that there is a significant influence of insurance, both through insurance premiums per entrepreneur, which are paid to ensure the safety of the entrepreneur, and through resolved claims per entrepreneur, which present an indicator of insurance compensation in the case of damage to the entrepreneur, and through the impact of insurance on financial market by the amount of technical reserves. The return influence was not confirmed, considering that the number of entrepreneurs per year is a stationary variable, so the effect of the number of entrepreneurs on the development of insurance, measured by the premium per entrepreneur, could not be confirmed. Contribution: This research conducted in Serbia, a developing and upper middle-income country, confirmed the positive impact of insurance on entrepreneurship, but the return influence of entrepreneurship on insurance was not proven.
Neural drive and motor unit characteristics after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: implications for quadriceps weakness
Authors: Sherman David A. , Rush Justin , Stock Matt S. , D. Ingersoll Christopher , E. Norte Grant 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this investigation was to compare the quality of neural drive and recruited quadriceps motor units’ (MU) action potential amplitude (MUAPAMP) and discharge rate (mean firing rate (MFR)) relative to recruitment threshold (RT) between individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and controls.

Methods
Fourteen individuals with ACLR and 13 matched controls performed trapezoidal knee extensor contractions at 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100% of their maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). Decomposition electromyography (dEMG) and torque were recorded concurrently. The Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) and central activation ratio (CAR) were acquired bilaterally to detail the proportion of MU pool available and volitionally activated. We examined MUAPAMP-RT and MFR-RT relationships with linear regression and extracted the regression line slope, y-intercept, and RT range for each contraction. Linear mixed effect modelling used to analyze the effect of group and limb on regression line slope and RT range.

Results
Individuals with ACLR demonstrated lower MVIC torque in the involved limb compared to uninvolved limb. There were no differences in H-reflex or CAR between groups or limbs. The ACLR involved limb demonstrated smaller mass-normalized RT range and slower MU firing rates at high contraction intensities (70% and 100% MVIC) compared to uninvolved and control limbs. The ACLR involved limb also demonstrated larger MU action potentials in the VM compared to the contralateral limb. These differences were largely attenuated with relative RT normalization.

Conclusions
These results suggest that persistent strength deficits following ACLR may be attributable to a diminished quadriceps motor neuron pool and inability to upregulate the firing rate of recruited MUs.

Authors: Agbo Solomon Uchenna , Obiageli Nnamani Victoria 
Published: October 2023

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of Edmodo on the academic achievement of senior secondary school students in the field of marketing within the Udenu Local Government Area of Enugu State. The research was conducted with the guidance of three research inquiries and three hypotheses. The study utilized a quasi-experimental research approach known as the pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The study encompassed the complete population of 123 senior high school II students, consisting of 78 men and 55 females, who were pursuing a Marketing course in the study region. The study included a total of 51 participants, with 26 individuals (15 males and 11 females) assigned to the experimental group and 25 individuals (12 males and 13 females) assigned to the control group. The classrooms that remained undivided in both institutions were utilized. The research employed the Marketing Achievement Test (MAT) as the chosen instrument, including a set of 20 objective questions, each offering four response alternatives labeled A-D. The instrument's dependability was assessed using the Kudar-Richarson 20 (K-R 20) method, yielding a reliability coefficient of 0.83. This indicates that the device demonstrated a satisfactory level of reliability. Extraneous variable such as subject interaction, teacher bias and others were controlled in the study. The study questions were analyzed using mean and standard deviation scores, while the hypotheses were examined using Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA). The study's findings indicate that students who were instructed in marketing through the use of Edmodo had higher levels of accomplishment compared to those who were taught using traditional methods. It is recommended that educators include the use of developing educational technology, such as Edmodo, into their instruction of Marketing, while simultaneously reducing reliance on traditional teaching methods. A conclusion was reached.

Authors: Toorray Nitin Kumar 
Published: October 2023

The sheath blight disease of rice caused by Rhizoctonia solani is an economically important disease in India. A survey was carried out to find the disease severity of sheath blight of rice and collected the disease samples from the different locations of Chhattisgarh. Fifty eight isolates of R. solani collected from various locations of Chhattisgarh were studied for their morphological and cultural variation. Cultural and morphological parameters of each isolate like growth pattern of mycelium, colony colour, Colony growth diameter (mm) at different intervals was recorded after inoculation of R. solani on to the sterilized PDA in 90 mm Petri plates incubated at 28 ± 2 0C in B.O.D incubator after 15 days [1]. The isolates were assigned code numbers such as RS1, where "RS" named Rhizoctonia solani and "1" denote the serial number of the isolate. The R. solani isolates RS1, RS2, RS3, RS4, RS5, RS12, RS19, RS34, RS50 and RS57 were recorded as fast growing isolates. The color of the fungal colony was varied from light brown to dark brown.
