Authors: Mkhitaryan V. S. , Popova G. L. 
Published: May 2022

The article discusses directions for improving the methodology of interterritorial differentiation analysis based on the assessment of the effectiveness of the use of tax potential (on the example of the Tambov region).In the introductory part of the article on the basis of official domestic statistics the authors characterize features of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation under consideration. This is necessary for a well-founded interpretation of the results of an interterritorial comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the formation and use of tax revenues – an important component of the municipal budget.The main part sets out methodological principles for calculating the generalizing indicator of the effectiveness of the realized tax potential of municipalities; data from the Federal State Statistics Service and the Federal Tax Service are used as sources of information.Based on the methodology recommended by the authors, an interregional analysis of the effectiveness of the tax potential in 2013 (before sanctions and anti-sanctions measures were introduced in 2014) and 2019 (before the start of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020) was carried out.The paper reveals interregional differences in the dynamics of the gross regional product (GRP), the intensity of structural shifts, the size and changes in tax revenues. The existing differences between the urban and rural areas of the Tambov region are studied in terms of the efficiency of using their tax potentials.Based on the conducted statistical analysis, the authors come to the conclusion that in the ranking according to the generalizing indicator of the efficiency of the realized tax potential of municipalities of the Tambov region, there is a decrease in the positions of cities. At the same time, there is an increase in agricultural production in the region due to the implementation of Russia's food security strategy. In this regard, it is suggested that agriculture will stimulate the development of manufacturing industries in cities, which will result in the improve in their ranking.

Published: May 2022

The article present argument for using statistical methods, which evaluate factors that contribute to or, on the contrary, hinder the institutional transformation of entrepreneurship in Russia.The authors analyzed materials of the sociological survey of large and medium-sized enterprises carried out in 2019 through questionnaires administered to company executives based on a sample of economic entities in Moscow and Moscow region. A set of statistical data from a survey of company executives was formed for two groups of enterprises, depending on the scale of production. They were differentiated according to the main factors of sustainable development.Using the χ2 criterion, the degree of similarity of these populations and their correspondence to one type of distribution was revealed. The results of the survey of company executives showed that the key factors for the sustainable functioning of enterprises and their further development are: the availability of new technologies for implementation in production, the degree of personnel qualification, as well as the extent to which specialists from other commercial structures are involved in the work. At the same time, the first indicated factors which are determinantsof any group of economic entities, regardless of the scale of entrepreneurial activity. A significant difference in the opinions of the company executives of large and medium-sized enterprises is observed in the answers to the question about the sources of funds for doing business.Evaluation of negative-impact factors of crisis phenomena is differentiated depending on the scale of production using various criteria. Thus, when using White's t-test, no fundamental differences were found between the estimates of the company executivesof economic entities that are in different groups in terms of the scale of production activities. As for the positive factors, where all observations are pairwise conjugated, the Wilcoxon test was used, which indicates that entrepreneurs equally assess the degree of influence of negative and positive causes of the crisis on business. Based on empirical analysis, was confirmed the hypothesis about determining factors influencing the current situation with business. According to entrepreneurs, such factors are high taxes and the lack of working capital.Amid a spiraling crisis and import substitution, continuous monitoring of both weaknesses and strengths of the development of large and medium enterprises allows to identify key predictors that contribute to the most efficient functioning of such enterprises.
Soap Production Using Locally Available Alkaline Extract from Millet Stalks: A Study on Chemical and Physical Properties of Soap
Authors: Thangiah Anthoney Swamy 
Published: May 2022

An agricultural by-product namely millet stalks were examined for their potential as an alternative source of potash for soap production. The alkaline extract was used in the preparation of soap using the traditional method. These materials were ashed and the sample was subjected to hot aqueous extraction. Extract from the crushed samples was characterized by its inorganic elements calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. The resulting soap was subjected to physicochemical test; saponification value, iodine value, acid value, ash content, color, texture and the results were; 74mg/KOH/g, 31.72g/100g, 5.64mg/KOH, 1%, white, hard and rough, respectively. This showed that the white color of soap was a result of bleaching of the oil sample and the hardness of the soap was due to the presence of high concentration of K+ ions in the prepared soap. Also, emulsification test was performed and the result was positive. White soluble precipitate was formed with KCl, NaCl, and NH4Cl solution while with CaCl2, MgCl2, and FeCl3 solution white gelatinous precipitate was formed which gave the insoluble complex with water. This research showed that some agricultural by-products such as millet stalks can be utilized for the traditional soap production.

Published: May 2022

Understanding the effect of gender on oral health would facilitate the development of successful attitude and behavior modification approach towards sustainable oral health. This study assessed the behavior, knowledge, rate, and pattern of dental service utilization of the students and workers of Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP). It also tested the widely documented hypothesis that women have better oral health behavior, oral hygiene, and periodontal status but higher dental caries rates than men. Further, it determined what dental procedure is mostly utilized by the patients. The data were based on annual dental records of AUP Dental Department and oral interviews. From the dental record of the year 2017, a total of 2,472 patients visited the dental clinic for the following procedures: oral prophylaxis (40%), tooth extraction (13%), tooth restoration (14%), prosthodontics (7%) and orthodontics (25%). Among the dental procedures, women are always higher in number compared to men. In terms of gender, 960 or 39% of men and 1,512 or 69% of women visited the clinic revealing that women have dental visits more often than men. Oral prophylaxis and orthodontic are two of the most availed dental procedure while prosthodontics is the least. Despite AUP Clinic’s promotion for health care and health care services, dental health care utilization remains very low relating to the whole university population. Women are more concerned with oral health than men, contrary to other researches that males have higher oral health knowledge score than females. Gender differences have no significance in terms of dental care utilization. Participants’ oral health knowledge is at least average and they showed positive attitude towards dental treatment. It is recommended that more oral or dental health campaign be done; utilization of dental service fee among students be promoted; and the importance of oral health be taught.

The quality of education offered by an institution is often determined by the graduates it produces; likewise, the quality of graduates produced by an institution is measured by their performance in the licensure examinations. This study attempted to capture the lived experiences of the top performers in the different health sciences licensure examinations in a selected university. Descriptive phenomenological method was used to extract information on the experiences of the eight top performers from the four departments: Nursing, Medical Technology, Psychology, and Dentistry who graduated from a selected university in Silang, and are currently working in the Philippines. A formulated set of questions served as the primary method for data collection. Triangulation of the data utilizing interviews with their deans and instructors was used and thematic analysis was done using Collaizi’s method. Three emergent themes encapsulated the experiences of the informants before, during and after the licensure exam. First is their preparation, with four occurring facets: academic, spiritual, psychosocial, and physical. The next theme is anxiety, wherein all of the eight informants claimed the notion of inadequacy of knowledge and possibility of failing. The last theme is the impact of the licensure exam success in the lives of the top performers, with three commonalities among them: strengthened faith, increased opportunity, and widened influence. It was evident that a holistic approach was seen in the preparation of the informants and despite the anxiety, they were able to perform satisfactorily which brought them advances in their professional career and spiritual life. Holistic approach should be considered in designing learning plans to produce high-performing graduates.

The study utilized qualitative research methods. Six respondents participated in the study and were selected using snowball sampling. A semi-structured interview was done to obtain relevant information about the study. Colaizzi’s method was used to analyze the collected data. The emergent themes developed as follows: (1) perceptions of mothers about breastfeeding, (2) breastfeeding experience of mothers, and (3) needs of the mothers in order to breastfeed successfully. All mothers found breastfeeding to be difficult, most thought that it is best for infants and mothers. All mothers planned to breastfed antenatally and had to balance employment and breastfeeding. Most of them received support from their families, others from breastfeeding support groups, and workplaces. All mothers highlighted the importance of breastfeeding education for mothers, families, and health workers. They all found that determination and family support are significant for mothers to accomplish her desired breastfeeding goals. The researchers recommended that future studies should look into the specific knowledge deficiency of mothers, particularly those of high socioeconomic status regarding breastfeeding; development an extensive breastfeeding education program for health care professionals, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and family members.
he “Immanuel” of Isaiah 7:14: Immediate Single Fulfillment or Distance Dual Future Messianic Prophecy?
Authors: Javien Rico T. 
Published: May 2022

The great Messianic prophecy of Isaiah 7:14 that states: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.” This prophetic utterance of Isaiah regarding Immanuel has been considered difficult to be resolved. As a result, it has provoked endless controversy from both scholars from the Old Testament and the New Testament. A number of interpretative positions have been advanced by scholars from different camps and yet they have not arrived to a consensus. For instance, it was argued that the Immanuel was restricted only in the time of Isaiah, never in the New Testament. Another view holds that it was a near future in the prophet’s own time and the remote New Testament fulfilment as recorded in Matthew’s Gospel. The varied interpretations have been carefully analyzed through contextual settings and time frame factors. The study asserts that the Immanuel according to contextual analysis has dual fulfillment: first, there was immediate Immanuel at the time of the prophet Isaiah; second, the final Immanuel arrived more than seven hundred years later, when Jesus was born.

Authors: Cabason Ismael P. 
Published: May 2022

Among the epistles of Paul, the book of Galatians along with Romans, are considered by many readers as theologically difficult. Especially in his indiscriminate use of the word law. In Galatians 3 alone, the term law has been used more than ten times. One of the issues in this particular letter, is, when Paul claims that “the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ” (Gal 3:24 NKJV). The Old Testament alone has 600 laws. The questions that emerged: first, which law − natural, ceremonial, moral, civil, dietary and health, social, purity − serve as the tutor of the Christians to Christ? Second, the word tutor from Greek paidagogos, in what sense does the lawbecome the tutor to Christ? The result of the study showed that the laws are the Christians’ tutorto Christ. All the ceremonial laws, though temporary in its duration, contained in ordinances in all His types and sacrifices; and the moral law, as enduring, showed the absolute need of a Redeemer served as tutor to Christ. The tutor functions as the guardian, trainer, supervisor, protector, in-charge, trustworthy slave, custodian and disciplinarian conduct the pupil to the Christ.

A erisipela é um processo infeccioso causado comumente por bactérias da famí­lia Estreptococos. O tratamento é instituí­do a partir do uso de antibióticos especí­ficos e realização de curativos especiais aplicados nas áreas afetadas. Comorbidades como hipertensão arterial e Diabetes mellitus podem prejudicar o processo cicatricial. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar a experiência no tratamento de paciente portadora de úlceras decorrentes de processo infeccioso por erisipela. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo exploratório de relato de experiência com paciente assistida por uma clí­nica especializada em curativos localizada na cidade de Campina Grande – PB. Paciente do sexo feminino, 36 anos, portadora de hipertensão arterial e Diabetes mellitus não-insulino-dependente. Ao exame fí­sico, apresentou-se orientada, hidratada, sedentária, com força motora preservada e relato de dor exacerbada. Apresentava lesões superficiais e infectadas em decorrência de erisipela, localizadas nos membro inferior esquerdo e evidências de hiperemia difusa, presença de bolhas e pontos de necrose. Como conduta inicial, foi solicitada cultura com antibiograma do material retirado das lesões. Foi realizado o curativo seguindo técnica asséptica, com realização de limpeza com água deionizada e sabonete antisséptico a base de polihexametileno de biguanida (PHMB). Adicionou-se ao curativo, compressas embebidas em solução de permanganato de potássio e colocadas sobre as lesões por 24 horas. Posteriormente, iniciou-se protocolo com utilização de creme í base de ácido hialurônico a 0,2% que objetivou estimular a regeneração cutânea e favorecer a angiogênese, pomada de dipropionato de betametasona com a finalidade de aliviar o prurido e outros sintomas associados ao processo infeccioso, e solução de permanganato de potássio, visando í destruição da parede bacteriana, associada ao uso de gaze estéril de algodão impregnada com PHMB, ambos aliados ao uso de antibioticoterapia sistêmica. O tratamento durou 35 dias, com 9 aplicações. Após esse perí­odo, a ferida foi considerada cicatrizada, com ausência de hiperemia difusa, bolhas, edemas ou regiões escurecidas na pele, além de completa remissão do processo infeccioso. Foi possí­vel observar a eficácia do tratamento realizado, levando em consideração fatores como o plano de conduta instituí­do, os produtos utilizados, a perspectiva multiprofissional e a boa adesão da paciente.
