Authors: Desai Asavari , Nambiar Supriya , Unnikrishnan Bhaskaran , Rai Sharada , Nayak Sangeeta , Natarajan Srikant 
Published: November 2022

Objective:
To investigate the effect of submucosal injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the rate of mini-implant-supported retraction, using a split-mouth randomized clinical design.

Materials and Methods:
Twenty subjects of either gender between 16 and 25 years of age with bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion and crowding of <4 mm scheduled to undergo fixed mechanotherapy with the extraction of 1st premolars; were recruited for the study. Those with a periodontally compromised dentition, blood dyscrasias, smoking/alcoholism, or with a history of fixed orthodontic treatment were not considered. The intervention side received a submucosal injection of autologous PRP which was prepared using 10 ml of the patient’s blood. The rate of extraction space closure on both sides was recorded and compared monthly for 3 months using a digital caliper.

Results:
Mean overall retraction was faster on the intervention side as compared to the control side by 1.5 times and was statistically significant with a P value of 0.001. There was no influence of gender on the rate of retraction. There was no reported swelling or discomfort associated with the PRP injection.

Conclusions:
Submucosal injection of PRP significantly accelerates orthodontic tooth movement and can therefore be used as an effective, safe, and minimally invasive method to expedite orthodontic treatment.

Authors: Sharma Raman , Krishnamoorthi Sivanantham , Kumar Ashok , Biswal Manisha , Koushal Vipin 
Published: November 2022

Background:
Health care linen is a source of healthcare-associated infections. Hospital laundry services play a vital role in linen decontamination. Effective laundry is essential in preventing hospital-acquired infections, especially in multidrug-resistant organisms.

Aims and Objectives:
The study aimed to check the microbial load in linen after the laundry process and the during the supply chain in the hospital. We investigated the bacterial load in linen before and after the laundering process and the linen from stored linen banks.

Materials and Methods:
Linens (n=125) from the hospital were collected in different stages of the laundry process [31 linen before decontamination; 94 linen after decontamination (Post washing = 30; Linen Bank = 34; Ward 30)]. A square inch of linen from each linen was vortexed in normal saline, and colony forming units (CFU)/inch of linen were calculated using appropriate media. The identification and susceptibility of organisms were performed using MALDI-TOF MS and CLSI disk diffusion methods, respectively. The difference in the load of the organism was analysed between different stages of the laundry and storage process.

Results:
We found that100% of pre-decontamination linen harbour viable organisms (22.59% including multidrug-resistant pathogenic organisms: MDROs), which decreased to 40% (no MDROs) post-decontamination. The overall load was reduced by a factor of 103.77.

Conclusion:
The microbial contamination of linen is common, and there is an urgent need to develop consensus on the microbial examination frequency and acceptable range of organisms on hospital linen worldwide.

Published: November 2022

To minimize the problems resulting from chronic kidney disease, the practice of physical activities is indicated and consequently the improvement of physical capacity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between functional capacity and physical activity level in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 24 individuals at hemodialysis clinic in the northwestern portion of the state of Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil. The outcome variables were distance traveled on the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and physical activity level determined by the average number of steps per day measured using a pedometer (objective measure) as well as the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (subjective measure). It was shown that the distance travelled on the 6MWT was not correlated with the average number of steps per day or results of the IPAQ. In contrast, a moderate correlation was found between the two physical activity measures (pedometer and IPAQ). The patients were classified as insufficiently active and also had low functional capacity, with a mean of 53.93% of the predicted distance on the 6MWT. It is concluded that no significant correlation was found between functional capacity measured using the 6MWT and physical activity level measured using a pedometer and the IPAQ. A moderate correlation was found between the pedometer and IPAQ. The patients were insufficiently active and achieved low percentages of the predicted distance on the 6MWT.
Influence of Team Information Sharing on Collaborative Value Within Ashoka Fellows' Organizations in Africa
Authors: Mahinda Wamuyu 
Published: November 2022

Purpose: The study sought to determine the influence of team information sharing on collaborative value within Ashoka Fellows' Organizations in Africa
Methodology: The study applied pragmatism philosophy to offer several ways to bridge dichotomies in mixed methods approaches to social science. Explanatory sequential mixed-method research design consisting of two distinct phases, namely quantitative and qualitative, was adopted. Both qualitative and quantitative study methods were adopted. In the quantitative study, the target population constituted all the 154 Ashoka Fellows' Organizations working in 19 countries in Africa. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire administered online to the founders (Ashoka Fellows) or the Ashoka Fellows' Organizations' CEOs. One hundred responded by filling out the questionnaire, which translated to a 64.9% response rate. Additionally, qualitative data applied purposive sampling and selected six Ashoka regional team leaders in Africa for in-depth interviews. They all were available for the interviews translating to a 100% response rate. Data analysis techniques combined descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical Package for Social Sciences and SmartPLS 3 software were used to analyze the collected data.
Findings: Results revealed that the results confirm that team information sharing significantly influences collaborative value within Ashoka Fellows’ Organizations in Africa. Team Information Sharing has a significant influence on collaborative value witn an R2 = 0.300, chi-square X2 (10, N=100) = 63.010, p<.05, SRMR=0.088, Rms-theta=0.224 and NFI=0.805. The null hypothesis was rejected.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends that Team members should ensure the team's information exchange is of good quality as the quality of information sharing that develops collaboration must go beyond necessary factual information to a point where team members can transfer their unique understanding. Also, team members should be willing to share information and engage in sequences of interpretation sharing to build on each other's interpretations and collectively make sense. Teams should embrace timely information sharing, which is critical for collaborative value and the use of technology. To ensure quality and timeliness of information shared, teams should consider both investments in information systems as sharing appropriate information allows the linkage of internal and external knowledge sources by facilitating information flow and providing effective data retrieval mechanisms
The Effects of Natural Disasters on Development: A Case of Uganda
Authors: Barbara Alungat 
Published: November 2022

Purpose: To examine the effects of natural disasters on development in Uganda.
Methodology: The study adopted documentary review as a data collection technique in which data is gathered from reports from different sources, journals, magazines, newspapers, institutional archives, reports and articles which have data linked to the research being undertaken (Creswell, 2014). A documentary review checklist was employed to solicit data related to an examination of effects of natural disasters on development in Uganda from the Ministry of Disaster Preparedness and Refugees archives. This method was preferred by the researcher over other methods because was able to gain permission to access information from different department at the Ministry of Disaster and preparedness archives. In addition, using document analysis takes out the personal aspect of the effect a researcher might have on an individual during an interview.
Findings: Epidemics have been the most important public health emergency in the districts of Uganda and neighboring countries. The situation has been worsened by the outbreak of COVID-19 being first reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019 (WHO, 2019). The most threatening epidemics in Uganda include Ebola, Marburg, Cholera HIV/AIDS and Malaria but the discussion on epidemics here will be limited to Ebola, Malaria and crop and animal diseases (Mullen et al, 2020). Floods and landslides are another type of natural disasters that affect development in Uganda leaving direct destruction or impacts on assets (Botzen et al, 2019). In addition, famine is the most dominant natural disasters Uganda faces from time to time despite having the necessary conditions for food security like fertile land and a favorable climate for agriculture as a large part of the population across the country fall victim to famine regularly (Government of Uganda, 2010). Disasters continue disrupting lives, livelihood and leaving adverse effects on individuals, communities, economies and even governments and ultimately affecting development.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: It’s therefore recommended that disaster management should focus on mitigation against identifiable Threats. The disaster management should also create more robust systems that can withstand a variety of known and unknown shocks. The disaster management theory may be used to anchor future studies in the disaster management sector

Authors: Khudaverdiyeva Victoriya , Merchanskyi Volodymyr , Chuiko Nataliia , Voronkova Alla 
Published: November 2022

Мета. У статті проаналізовано теоретичні та прикладні аспекти проблем-обмежувачів повномасштабного та ефективного входження туристично-рекреаційної сфери України до системи міжнародного туризму.
Результати. Початок інституційного оформлення сучасного туризму як галузі збігся з важкою кризовою ситуацією як у ній самій, так і в країні. Це означає, що вихід туризму з кризи проходитиме на тлі розробки та становлення стратегічної моделі управління галуззю, включаючи створення цілої низки нормативних механізмів і методологічних інструментів управління. Розмежування понять «рекреант» і «турист» дозволить у національній політиці визначити пріоритети держави на майбутнє, враховувати специфіку вітчизняної рекреаційної інфраструктури та менталітет нашого рекреаційного попиту: в Україні та в ближньому зарубіжжі основну масу становлять рекреанти і лише незначна частина – туристи, які переміщаються в просторі заради задоволення та пізнання. Звідси, головним акцентом у туристичній політиці України була й залишається орієнтація на рекреанта. Саме цією обставиною пояснюється слабкий розвиток внутрішнього та зовнішнього туризму, відсутність відповідної інфраструктури та ненав’язливість туристського сервісу в нашій країні, домінування потоків із ближнього зарубіжжя. Виявлено та схарактеризовано соціально-географічні вектори адаптації туристського бізнесу країни на світовому ринку туристських послуг.
Наукова новизна. Запропоновано методичну та організаційну схему побудови цільової програми реструктуризації туристично-рекреаційної сфери України на основі реалізації викладених у статті адаптивних векторів.
Практична цінність. Визначено шляхи вирішення на державному та регіональному рівнях проблем-обмежувачів реального та ефективного просування вітчизняного туристичного продукту до системи міжнародного туризму.

Specifically, the effect of volume of transaction on automated teller machine, mobile banking, internet banking and point of sale terminals on the efficiency of deposit money banks was evaluated.
Results. The result of Granger Causality test revealed that information and communications technology channels of Automated Teller Machine (ATMs), mobile banking, internet banking, and point of sale (POS) terminals have no significant effect on the efficiency of deposit money banks in Nigeria. Volume of transactions on ATMs, mobile banking, and POS terminal have negative insignificant relationship with efficiency of deposit money banks. On the other hand, volume of transactions on internet banking was negatively and non-significantly linked with efficiency of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The non-significant effect of ATMs transactions points to the need for deposit money banks in Nigeria to ensure availability of money in the ATMs machines.
Scientific novelty. This study is pursued within the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model. The theory is relevant as it explains user’s acceptance of ICT strategies and usage in an organizational context. This finding will add credence to the Technology Acceptance Model postulation on information and communications technology and efficiency of the banking industry.
Practical value. This research will be of tremendous importance to the banks’ staff as well as managers (top management staff) and investor in the banking industry. This is by the way of providing valuable information on the issues and possible factors that can influence deposit money banks efficiency. The knowledge gained from this study will help make efficient use of information and communications technology gadgets. It will aid the efficiency and growth of banks, and possible provide investment in banking assets.

Authors: Divinska Natalia 
Published: November 2022

The article aims to investigate scientific approaches to the process of diagnostics of the teacher's readiness for innovative activities as well as the basic skills necessary for the teacher to apply innovative forms and methods of education.
The analysis of scientific research contributes to the determination of the main contradiction between the requirements put forward by the state to teachers regarding the introduction of innovative forms and methods of education and the insufficient level of mastery of innovative technologies and the formation of readiness for the introduction of innovations.
The process of formation of professional skills to apply innovative forms and methods of training is presented in the form of a model, the structural components of which are: principles of organization of the educational process aimed at the effective formation of professional skills to apply innovative forms and methods of training; method of formation of professional skills to apply innovative forms and methods of training; methods of applying innovative forms and methods of education; diagnostics of the levels of professional skills to apply innovative forms and methods of training; implementation of innovative forms and methods of training into the educational process of higher education institutions; pedagogical guidance in the process of formation of professional skills to apply innovative forms and methods of education.
It is revealed that the formation of professional skills to apply innovative forms and methods of training will contribute to the development of appropriate readiness.
Four levels of development of skills to apply innovative forms and methods of education are defined and it is recommended to carry out diagnostics according to two indicators determining both, the theoretical and practical readiness of the teacher to apply innovative methods and forms of education.
Hermeneutics of Lacerated Souls amidst Political Praxis of Partition in Amrita Pritam’s Pinjar
Authors: Priyanka Bhardwaj  
Published: November 2022

Pinjar (1950) is a precise novel which talks and envisages the status of women. Amrita Pritam has very well constructed the narration of partition from the women’s point of view. It is a snivel of women against her existential destiny and social cruelty. This novel is a demonstration of impactful narration of the archetypal social line against the weaker section of the society. She is the representation of what women had undergone during partition. These women had no thoughts in partition but they were the ones who suffered it the most. This research paper studies the unheard voices and pain of partition through literature. The novelist has used the mythos and ethos of partition to explore its various versions through fiction of the Indian subcontinent.
