Published: November 2023

Были получены образцы пластика без связующего (ПБС) на основе древесного наполнителя в различном соотношении с гидролизным лигнином. Образцы ПБС прессовались в герметичной пресс-форме под давлением 40 МПа и при температуре 180 С с последующим ее уменьшением без снятия давления до 40 С. Полученные образцы были испытаны на прочность при изгибе, на водопоглощение за 24 ч и 30 сут и на биостойкость по отношению к активному грунту за 21 сут. Также у образцов были определены приобретенные цветовые характеристики лицевой поверхности с целью оценки декоративных показателей. На основании полученных результатов испытаний на минимальные необходимые свойства для отделочных материалов (показатели прочности, водо- и биостойкости, декоративности) было установлено рациональное соотношение пресс-композиции с содержанием гидролизного лигнина в интервале 40÷60%. При данном соотношении достигаются следующие показатели материала: прочность при изгибе - 11,4-12,4 МПа; водопоглощение за 24 ч - 27%; водостойкость материала без начала деструктивных процессов до 21 сут; биостойкость при наличии постоянной влажной и патогенной среды - локальная без сквозной эрозии, цветовая окраска лицевой поверхности по шестнадцатизначной кодировке цвета соответствует цветам от нефритового до елового.
Samples of plastic without resins (PWR) based on wood filler in various ratios with hydrolyzed lignin were obtained. The PWR samples were pressed in a sealed mold at a pressure of 40 MPa and a temperature of 180 C, followed by its cooling without pressure relief to 40 C. The obtained samples were tested for bending strength, for water absorption in 24 hours and 30 days, and for biostability with respect to active soil in 21 days. Also, the acquired color characteristics of the front surface were determined in the samples in order to evaluate decorative indicators. Based on the obtained test results for the minimum necessary properties for finishing materials (strength, water and bio-resistance, decorative properties), a rational ratio of the press composition with the content of hydrolytic lignin in the range of 40-60% was established. With this ratio, the following indicators of the material are achieved: bending strength - 11.4-12.4 MPa; water absorption in 24 hours - 27%; water resistance of the material without the onset of destructive processes reaches up to 21 days; biostability in the presence of a constant moist and pathogenic environment is local without through erosion, the color coloration of the front surface by a sixteen-digit color coding corresponds to the colors from jade to spruce.

Published: November 2023

В интервале температур 0 - 20 оС исследована устойчивость разбавленных (0,1 г/дм3) водных дисперсий сульфатного лигнина (СЛ) в широком диапазоне рН (2-12) в присутствии 10-4 М Al2(SO4)3. Обнаружена экстремальная зависимость устойчивости от температуры с минимумом в области 10 оС. При всех температурах максимальное осаждение СЛ наблюдается в интервале рН 4 -6. Высказано предположение, что в исследованном диапазоне температур наблюдаемый эффект обусловлен изменением структуры граничных слоев воды, окружающих молекулы СЛ, и морфологии образующихся агрегатов СЛ, оказывающих влияние на скорость их осаждения.
The stability of dilute (0.1 g/dm3) aqueous dispersions of sulfate lignin (SL) in a wide pH range (2-12) in the presence of 10-4 M Al2(SO4)3 was studied in the temperature range of 0-20 C. An extreme dependence of stability on temperature with a minimum in the region of 10 C was found. At all temperatures, the maximum deposition of SL is observed in the pH range of 4-6. It is suggested that in the studied temperature range, the observed effect is due to a change in the structure of the boundary layers of water surrounding the SL molecules and the morphology of the formed SL aggregates, which affect the rate of their sedimentation.
On the water resources tax standard and tax administration mode for urban residents in China
Authors: Wu Zheng , Tian Guiliang , Xia Qing , Li Jiawen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Levying water resources tax represents the exploration and innovation of paid use system of water resources in China. Due to the actual situation in China, the formulation of the water resources tax standard should fully reflect the value of water resources. Therefore, we use the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model to evaluate the water resources value in China, explore the spatial distribution of water resources value, and calculate the tax standard for urban residents. The results show that China's spatial distribution of water resources value demonstrates a pattern of ‘high in the north and low in the south’. There is a significant gap between the calculated results and the existing water resources tax standard, which fails to reflect the water resources value. This gap makes it a challenging task to generate a water-saving incentive effect. In addition, we also discuss the collection and management mode of water resources tax for urban residents and the dynamic adjustment basis for the formulation of water resources tax standards with people's livelihood issues taken into consideration. These research results will provide concrete theoretical support and policy reference for policy-makers seeking to improve water resources tax reform policies.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Building upon resource-based view (RBV) theory, this cross-sectional study employed binary logistic regression to examine the influence of firm-level factors on the performance of 435 Tanzanian micro and small agri-food processing firms. The results of the study show that intangible resources, age (enterprise, manager), and management practices (target setting, working capital management, and performance monitoring) have a significant influence on firm performance. Firm size, tangible resources, and managers’ education level were not significant predictors of firm performance. The findings confirmed the RBV argument that intangible resources contribute more to the variation in firm performance compared to tangible resources. This study adds to the limited research on the combined effect of firm-specific characteristics, firm resources, managerial characteristics, and selected management practices on the performance of micro and small firms in emerging economies. The findings will help managers to identify success factors that are significant for better performance and will support policymakers to design strategies that can effectively contribute to the development of micro and small enterprises in the agri-food subsector.
Unraveling agricultural cooperatives’ performance measurement: a literature review
Authors: Martínez-López Irene , Fernández-Barcala Marta , González-Díaz Manuel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Cooperatives are a widely prevalent organizational form in the agrifood sector that have been extensively examined in the literature. The primary objective of this literature review is to evaluate approaches taken in studying the performance of these organizations, with a specific focus on whether these analyses have duly recognized the multifaceted nature of cooperatives, characterized by having multiple objectives. Second, the review examines research comparing cooperatives with other types of organizations to ascertain whether, despite operating in the same markets, such analyses have acknowledged that these organizations pursue vastly different objectives. Finally, this literature review also ascertains whether studies have considered the influence of organizational innovations (e.g. allowing capitalist investors or share transferability) on cooperatives’ performance. Correctly approximating how to measure the performance of agrifood cooperatives is critical to understanding their success and evolution and, significantly, whether they benefit from innovations in property rights and governance.

Published: November 2023

The experiment was conducted during July-November, 2022 at Melkassa and Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center main station under rain fed condition to assess the extent of genetic variability and to identify potential candidate genotypes. A total of 64 small seeded common bean genotypes were evaluated for 18 quantitative traits using 8*8 triple lattice design. The analysis of variance showed that there was highly significant (p<0.01) difference among genotypes for all studied traits at both individual locations. The genotypes variation for seed yield was ranged from 1685.09 kg ha-1 to 4499 kg ha-1 at Melkassa and from 1369.76 kg ha-1 to 4848.38 kg ha-1 at Kulumsa. High PCV and GCV were recorded for total number of seeds per plant, number of fertile pods and total number of pods per plant in both locations. Moderate to high value of GCV and broad sense heritability coupled with high GAM were obtained for seed per plant, dry pod yield per plant, fertile pods per plant, seed weight per plant, hundred seed weight and seed yield per hectare in both locations; indicating the importance of those traits in yield improvement of small seeded common bean. G-39, G-27, G-58, G-35, G-29, G-18, G-8, G-61, G-37 and G-33 showed yield advantage from 49% to 88.9% at Melkassa and G-33, G-8, G-4, G-12, G-58, G-11, G-45, G-13, G-36 and G-30 from 16% to 36% at kulumsa over the best standard check G-64. The existed variations implied the possiblity for further improvement of seed yield and atributing traits through utlizing selected potential genotypes and targeted hybridization schemes in breeding programs.

Published: November 2023

This article analyzes the artist's religiosity on social media. The symbols of obedience to religion are often displayed by artists in various activities broadcasted on social media both when playing as an actor in a social media show or in their actual life that is covered on social media. The piety is shown by dressing sharia clothes, performing umrah, sponsorsing orphans program, follow Islamic sermon and others. The artist's religious expression holds the meaning, whether the motive is actually behind what is seen on social media, whether purely as part of religious obidience, or there is a religious commodification and media capitalism deliberately displayed to generate greater public viewer which subsequently increase revenue for media corporation. this study will use a phenomenological approach to understand the true meaning behind reality seen on social media. While the dramaturgy theory is used to analyze the religiousity of the artist on social media. Dramaturgy theory by Erving Goffman there is the concept of front stage and back stage. Front stage to explain the artist's visible visibility on social media, while back stage to explain the true artist's life (behind the scenes), so it can be mapped the artist's religiosity -as a religious obedience-, as part of the religious commodification or media capitalism.

Published: November 2023

Objectives:
The place of a child’s death is an indicator of the quality of paediatric palliative and end-of-life care. This study aimed to identify the choices of parents about the place of death of their children with cancer and to evaluate whether they had any regrets about their choices retrospectively.

Material and Methods:
All children who were treated in our centre for the past 9 years with palliative intent treatment to improve their quality of life were included in this study. For the children whose place of death was the hospital, data were collected from the case records. For the children who passed away at home, a telephone call was made to the families, informing them of the study, allowing time for there to be any clarifications. A verbal consent was requested for the study. Data were collected through the telephone conversation.

Results:
Out of the 59 children who died during the study period from 2012 to 2021, 31 children (52.5%) died in hospital settings. Eighteen (58.1%) families who had opted hospital as the place of death had regretted their choices. Families who chose home as a place of death were upset about inadequate pain management. The majority of the families had desired home care services for adequate symptom control and to keep the child comfortable in a familiar environment.

Conclusion:
Most children with life-limiting conditions continue to die in the hospital setting in developing countries due to a lack of dedicated palliative care services and home care. Most of the families retrospectively, regretted their choices of place of death. Most of the families, however, would prefer home as the place of death, if there was better end-of-life care support for symptom control at home. Specific policies institutional and nationwide need to be formulated to provide guidance to the professionals on the discussion of goals of care and place of care, with a supporting network to ensure its provision.

Objectives:The main aim of this study was to develop, test, and compare palliative care bundles to improve functional recovery, resilience, and quality of life among advanced gallbladder cancer patient with their routine palliative care.Material and Methods:This study was to test a palliative care bundle, a single-center, and two-arm randomised controlled trial done on a total of 116 participants (58 in each arm) from July 2019 to December 2021 at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh.Results:By the end of 4thmonth, the recruitment rate was 96.7%, retention rate acceptance rate was 95%, and adherence rate was 85%. The palliative care bundle showed that a significant difference in trial outcome index score (P= 0.014*) indicates the effectiveness of the palliative care bundle related to improvement in physical mobility, resilience, and quality of life of patients and reduced caregiver burden. Reported barriers faced by participants were physical exhaustion (65%), psychological factors (25%), social factors (15%) and unfamiliar surroundings (5%). Caregivers reported barriers that their job (40%), physical fatigue related to the care of their patient (40%), their education (10%), and lack of support for their other family members (10%) were some reasons forcing them not to practice palliative care bundle.Conclusion:The palliative care bundle did not interfere with the palliative treatment plan of any patients and significantly improved physical mobility, resilience, quality of life of patients, and reduced caregiver burden. Hence, a palliative care bundle can be considered in the palliative care of advanced cancer patients during their palliative treatment to provide holistic care.

Purpose: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is defined as the continuing commitment by businesses to contribute to economic development while upholding ethical codes and improving the quality of life in the community and society at large. It broke down corporate social responsibility (CSR) into four parts: economic, legal, ethical, and charity. He did this so that CSR could become a real business practice.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This study is undertaken on 548 sample customers residing in Saudi Arabia for investigating their viewpoints towards the CSR activities carried out by the companies for examining the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Brand Awareness. The researchers adopted the Pearson’s Correlation, Simple Regression and Structural Equation Modeling techniques in order to measure the impact of CSR activities on Brand Awareness.

Findings: The outcomes of the study revealed that there is a positive perception of customers towards CSR activities carried out by the companies and the results of structural equation modelling portray that Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Brand Awareness are positively associated. Thus, we can conclude that CSR activities conducted by the companies are the commendable initiatives since in this today’s era of sustainable environment customers are not only worried about the price and quality aspect of the products/services even they are more possessive regarding what the corporate houses are taking the necessary steps for the betterment of the society and the nation at large.

Research, Practical & Social implications: The outcome of the study will throw new light on the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Corporate Brand Awareness and also facilitate future research endeavors on CSR. As a matter of fact, the CSR activities implemented by the companies offer a better brand recognition, resulting in greater brand awareness among customers and the society at large.
