Worth Of Products Research Articles

Проблема ценности в цифровом обществе роевого интеллекта

Introduction. The emerging digital society demonstrates the problem of justifying the value, worth and price of digital products and services, which requires consideration of the specificity of value in this society. Theoretical analysis. Following the financial and art market, the boundary between “value” and “worth” is blurred in the digital society. Value, including the value of an individual, becomes variable and is conditioned by the presence of unique attributes and unique experiences that obtain market value. At the same time, under standard digital protocols and technologies, the true uniqueness of an individual experience can only be achieved through the creation of customized digital ecosystems in the form of robotic swarms that support human life activities. A set of digital devices that have sufficient resources to continuously self-renew and form a closed environment around the individual that provides a unique experience can be called a chrysalic swarm. The chrysalic swarm creates an opportunity for the individual to escape from the logic of mutual competition dictated by society. Conclusion. Studying the value problematization in the digital society of swarm intelligence opens a theoretical perspective on the problem of the crisis of social elites in the context of the fulfillment of this scenario of society development.

Behavior of Decision Making of Purchasing the One District One Product (ODOP) Product from Champhon District, Savannakhet Province

These are the results of taking into account each variable.

Monoamine oxidase and neurodegeneration: Mechanisms, inhibitors and natural compounds for therapeutic intervention

Mammalian flavoenzyme Monoamine oxidase (MAO) resides on the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and it is involved in the metabolism of different monoamine neurotransmitters in brain. During MAO mediated oxidative deamination of relevant substrates, H2O2 is released as a catalytic by-product, thus serving as a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Under normal conditions, MAO mediated ROS is reported to propel the functioning of mitochondrial electron transport chain and phasic dopamine release. However, due to its localization onto mitochondria, sudden elevation in its enzymatic activity could directly impact the form and function of the organelle. For instance, in the case of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who are on l-dopa therapy, the enzyme could be a concurrent source of extensive ROS production in the presence of uncontrolled substrate (dopamine) availability, thus further impacting the health of surviving neurons. It is worth mentioning that the expression of the enzyme in different brain compartments increases with age. Moreover, the involvement of MAO in the progression of neurological disorders such as PD, Alzheimer's disease and depression has been extensively studied in recent times. Although the usage of available synthetic MAO inhibitors has been instrumental in managing these conditions, the associated complications have raised significant concerns lately. Natural products have served as a major source of lead molecules in modern-day drug discovery; however, there is still no FDA-approved MAO inhibitor which is derived from natural sources. In this review, we have provided a comprehensive overview of MAO and how the enzyme system is involved in the pathogenesis of different age-associated neuropathologic conditions. We further discussed the applications and drawbacks of the long-term usage of presently available synthetic MAO inhibitors. Additionally, we have highlighted the prospect and worth of natural product derived molecules in addressing MAO associated complications.

Reducing blood product wastage through the inter-hospital redistribution of near-outdate inventory.

Hospital transfusion services order blood products to satisfy orders and maintain inventory levels during unexpected periods of increased blood demand. Surplus inventory may outdate before being allocated to a recipient. Blood product outdating is the largest contributor to blood wastage. A province-wide redistribution program was designed and implemented to redistribute near-outdate plasma protein and related blood products from low-usage to high-usage hospitals. Program operations and details are described in this paper. Two transport container configurations were designed and validated for transport of all blood products. A cost-analysis was performed to determine the effectiveness of this redistribution program. A total of 130 hospital transfusion services contributed at least one near-outdate blood product for redistribution between January 2012 and March 2020. These services redistributed 15,499 products through 3412 shipments, preventing the outdating of $17,570,700 CAD worth of product. Program costs were $14,900 for shipping and $30,000 for staffing. Failed time limits or non-compliance with packing configurations resulted in $388,200 worth of blood products (97 shipments containing 816 products) being discarded. Courier transport delays was the most common reason (42/97; 43%) for transport failure. Redistributing near-outdate blood products between hospitals is a feasible solution to minimize outdating. Despite heterogeneity of Canadian blood product inventory, all products (each with unique storage and transport requirements) were successfully redistributed in one of two validated and simple containers. Total operation costs of this program were small in comparison to the $17.6 million in savings associated with preventing the discard of outdated products.

Agricultural Financing and Economic Growth in Nigeria

This research investigated the impact of agricultural finance on the economic development of Nigeria between the years 1986 and 2022. The Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund, bank loans to farmers, government spending on agriculture, and real gross domestic product were used as substitutes for agricultural funding. This analysis relies on time-series data culled from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s statistics bulletin. This research utilised the following data analysis methods: the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression tool, the Error Correction Model technique, the Johansen Cointegration test, and the Augmented Dickey Fuller unit root test. In congruent with the study’s results, there is a substantial relationship between agricultural bank loans and Nigeria’s real GDP. In addition, the Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP)—the monetary worth of all final products and services produced inside Nigeria—is highly correlated with the amount of money the government spends on agriculture. A substantial and important relationship exists between Nigeria’s Real Gross Domestic Product and the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund. The results of the research indicate that the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund, government investment in agriculture, and bank loans all made substantial improvements to Nigeria’s economic development. It has been suggested, among other recommendations, that increasing the volume and size of agricultural loans by reducing the interest rate will facilitate greater economic development in the nation.

Northeastern American Forests: Natural Disturbances, Climate Change Impact, and the Utilization of Increasingly Damaged Forest Trees for Biofuel Production

Forests and forestry-related industries and ecosystem services play a critical role in the daily life of all societies, including in cultural, ecological, social, economic, and environmental aspects. Globally, there are about 4.1 billion hectares of forestland. In the United States, there are about 304 million hectares of forestland, covering about 34% of the total land area, and the forest product industry produces over USD 200 billion worth of forestry products annually. Evidence suggests these precious resources may be negatively impacted by climate change via direct and indirect processes, including wildfires, insect/pest pressure, drought, extreme storm events, increased air temperature, solar radiation, vapor pressure deficit, and other factors and variables that can be detrimental. All these can not only cause significant changes in the health and productivity of the forests, but can also cause the extinction, migration, and/or re-distribution of different tree species. Thus, humankind has the paramount responsibility to take policy, technologic, economic, environmental, and management decisions and actions to protect this vital resource for current and future generations, plants, and animals. This paper provides an overview of some of the important characteristics of forest environmental services, climate–environment–forest interactions with respect to forest health and productivity, climate change’s impacts on forest species, and the utilization of forest biomass for high-value products.

Effects of intrinsic and extrinsic product characteristics related to protein source, health and environmental sustainability, on product choice and sensory evaluation of meatballs and plant-based alternatives

Health is cited as a major driver for substituting meat with plant-based meat alternatives (PBMAs). In contrast, many consumers are reportedly unaware of the difference in environmental impact between meat and PBMAs. This study determined relative effects of internal (protein source) and external (health/origin/sustainability) product attributes on product choice and (expected) liking of meat and PBMAs.Participants (n = 144) ranked ten sets of three product concepts from best to worst in a discrete choice experiment (DCE). Random combinations of four product attributes were presented on hypothetical product packages: i) protein source (beef/chickpea/soy protein); ii) health-star rating (1.5/4.5 stars); iii) ingredient origin (local/imported); iv) sustainability rating (green tick absent/present), and product worth, related to each of the 24 possible attribute combinations, was determined. Secondly, commercially-available beef, soy, and chickpea products were sensorially evaluated for expected/actual liking, both blindly and alongside combinations of internal/external product attributes used in the DCE.The DCE indicated all product attributes affected product worth. However, two consumer segments were established: i) a ‘Protein Cluster’ (47%) comprising consumers who chose ‘beef’ products regardless of the remaining attributes present, and ii) a ‘Health/Sustainability Cluster’ (53%) of consumers whose choices were driven by positive health/sustainability claims. Protein source drove both expected and actual liking of the samples (p < 0.001). Health/origin/sustainability also contributed to expected liking (p < 0.05), but only health consistently affected actual liking ratings (p < 0.05).In conclusion, half of consumers chose products based on health/origin/sustainability claims, whereas the other half selected products based on protein source. Origin/sustainability claims affected product choice, but minimally affected product experience of plant-based samples.

Optimum scheduling of shared greenhouse solar dryer in Thai community

Drying agricultural products is crucial in improving product quality and reducing post-harvest losses, ultimately increasing income for farmers. Greenhouse solar dryers (GSD) amplify these benefits by enhancing quality, preserving nutrients, and extending shelf life, thus elevating the economic worth of agricultural products. However, optimizing GSD utilization faces challenges from seasonal crop patterns, limited variety, and uncertain yields, curbing their full economic potential. Therefore, GSDs must be shared among farmers to address the underutilization of the infrastructure and increase the community’s overall profit. In addition, prioritizing higher value-added goods further maximizes gains from the shared infrastructure. Considering these factors, this research aims to demonstrate the financial benefits of sharing GSDs within a community. To determine the optimal sharing schedule, a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is formulated that considers the monthly production of fresh and dried products, with their corresponding prices and value-added. We tested the model’s performance under three different sharing schemes using the data of a typical Thai agricultural community. It is clearly shown that by sharing the GSDs and importing products to fill empty days, the utilization rate of the GSD can be increased from 23% to 62% by following the optimal schedule. Besides, this approach can boost the overall profit of the community by 1.6 times compared to individual GSD utilization practices. The proposed concept provides a robust schedule for dependable and profitable sharing, even amid unpredictable conditions. However, realizing these benefits entails managing additional challenges, highlighting the need for intelligent unit support for successful community-sharing GSD implementation.

Demand in the Russian Labor Market

The work deals to the construction of the labor demand function in modern Russia. This function is two-factor, with real wages and gross domestic product acting as its factors. The function in question is based on a modified labor demand function, which is a regression equation linking the labor intensity of production with the average real wage. Labor intensity in this case is interpreted as the amount of demand for labor on the part of an average Russian employer in the production of final products worth, for example, 1 million rubles per year. The product of the theoretical value of the modified demand function in a certain year by the value of GDP gives the theoretical number of employed, interpreted as the value of the demand for labor. The article presents the results based on the dynamic series of official Russian statistical information for 2001–2020 calculations that allowed us to determine the type and parameters of the modified labor demand function. The characteristic features of this function are decreasing with deceleration and relatively high elasticity. The relationship between labor intensity and wages can be described as very close. As the calculations have shown, the two-factor demand function also adequately reflects the situation on the Russian labor market.

A Study of Entrepreneurs’ Confidence in Geographical Indications for Value Adding of Gems and Jewelry Products in Chanthaburi Province

Geographical Indications (GI) give goods made from local resources more legitimacy and create value additions for various products. Gems and Jewelry are products that have contributed to Chanthaburi’s long-standing renown but have not yet been recognized for GI. The principles are to 1) investigate the entrepreneurial viewpoints regarding the belief that GI will increase the value of its products, 2) contrast the views of those products toward the use of GI to boost value and inspire confidence in customers, 3) examine the link between variables influencing the value added of gems and jewelry products with GI. In-depth interviews were used as the research methodology. Data was gathered from 14 owners of Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in gems and jewelry businesses who were required to be members of the Chanthaburi Gem and Jewelry Traders Association (CGA). The finding revealed that entrepreneurs support and encourage the registration of GI for gems and jewelry products to increase the company’s reliability, boost product market value, and foster customer trust. Gems and jewelry entrepreneurs in Chanthaburi trust GI to add value; therefore, GI is a tool that may be utilized to enhance the worth of gems and jewelry products. Plus, it increases consumers’ trust in the product’s origin and quality.

Coconut Value Added At Tabongo District Gorontalo Regency

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tabongo District is one of the coconut production centers in Gorontalo Regency, with a total plantatio area of 982.88 Ha and a total production of 1.090.10 tons in 2019. The majority of farmer in this area sell coconut in the form of grains, yet other farmers process it into copra and coconut oil. The research aims to determine the marketing and the amount of added value of coconut which conducted for three months, September to November 2021, in Tabongo District. &lt;/em&gt;Purposive sampling of 20 farmers were applied as the sample utilizing the READSI (Rural Empowerment and Agricultural Development Scaling-up Initiative) program and the snowball sampling method to obtain four traders. This survey research method was consisted of primary and secondary data. Marketing analysis and Hayami value-added analysis are used to analyze data. The results showed that the processed form of coconut in Tabongo District is coconut grains, copra and coconut oil. &lt;em&gt;T&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;here are three types of coconut marketing routes in the area: 1) copra farmers-wholesalers-Central Sulawesi, 2) coconut oil farmers-consumers, and 3) coconut farmers-traders-treatment factories. Every value added in 1 kg of copra product is Rp 1,150, or 49.92 percent of the product's worth. The profit rate for coconut copra processing is 46.13 percent of the product's value, which is Rp 2,400 per kg. Every added value in 1 kg of coconut oil product is Rp 5,246 or 45.05 percent of the product's worth. The profit rate of coconut oil treatment is 7.07 percent of the product's value, which is Rp 823 per kg. Meanwhile, the marketing added value obtained by coconut grain traders amounted to Rp 1,464.29 / kg or 54.23%.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Has Feminism Changed Women’s Realities in Africa? An Interrogation of the Poems of Ogundipe and Shire

African feminist movements of the 1960’s marked the starting point of debates from the origin of feminism in Africa to its impact on women and the society at large. Literature has from the go been used as a vehicle to reflect the life and its vicissitude on African women. African women writers have used literature as a platform to challenge and re-imagine gender relations within their societies and the continent as a whole. Yet, the question arises: despite half a century’s worth of literary production, has the reality of women, as reflected in literature, changed? This paper thematically interrogates the collection of poems by Molara Ogundipe-Leslie, Sew the Old Days and Other Poems published in 1985, in comparison to Warsan Shire’s Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth of 2011. Both poets are renowned for depicting current issues faced by women and their struggles in patriarchal systems. A thematic analysis allows for the inference of change: do these poets address the same struggles, or has almost thirty-year difference brought about discernible changes?

Gucci Marketing Analysis Based on SWOT Model

The research on luxury came from accidental discovery by a sociologist. When European capitalism was formed, the industrial level was much enhanced in comparison to the past, and the cause was the promotion of aristocratic demand for luxury products. It was amid the establishment of European capitalism at the time. In comparison to the past, the industrial level has substantially improved. The two were gradually discussed. Someone defined luxury goods for the first time in 1899, validating the social and economic worth of luxury products, which is conducive to the import and export trade of loose-leaf volumes and shows a city's success. Later, academics put forward a lot of creative thinking on management and marketing on how to create different luxury goods in different markets and how to grow the impact of brands, which gave rise to numerous luxury goods investigations. However, the academic circle is currently mostly focused on the idea, consumer market, marketing mode, and other luxury things, with few practical operation modes and marketing tactics used in companies. A great demonstration of marketing research that is successful is the famously luxury brand Gucci.

Evaluation of the variability of berry quality traits in a number of varieties and hybrid forms of strawberry Fragaria × ananassa Duch

Relevance. High values of berry quality traits increase the breeding and production worth of strawberry varieties and hybrids. Important characteristics of the quality of berry are the average fruit weight, the firmness of the pulp of berry, the height and the largest diameter of berry. It is possible to achieve a high level of values of these traits by combining the maximum similarity of their variation in one genotype. The aim of this work was the description of the associated variability of berry quality traits in a number of strawberry varieties and hybrid selections and the identification of the most promising from them according to the studied characteristics.Methods. The studies were carried out in 2019–2021, 12 varieties and 8 hybrid selections were studied for a number of economically significant traits of berry quality: average fruit weight, g; berry pulp firmness, g; height and largest diameter of the berry, mm; content of dry soluble solids in berries, Brix, %. Results. It has been established that the genotype makes the greatest contribution to the diversity of the studied samples. A relatively small factorial influence of the growing year on the overall variation of varieties and selections for the studied traits (from 0.06 to 1.6% of the phenotypic variance) indicates a high adaptability potential of the studied forms for growing in this natural and climatic zone, due to the specific properties of the genotypes of varieties and strawberry hybrids. By calculating pairwise Pearson's correlations in combination with the cluster analysis by the Ward's method as one of the procedures of multivariate mathematical statistics, an evaluation of the compatibility of variability by the studied traits was given, the varieties promising for breeding and cultivation under regional conditions in terms of berry quality have been identified — Florence, Vivaldi, Nelli, Syria, Belrubi, Honeoye and Kemia, as well as valuable for breeding hybrids — 10-1-15 Belrubi × Nelli, 35-14-15 Belrubi × Onda and 35-11-15 Belrubi × Florence.

Pharmaceutical Coating and Its Different Approaches, a Review

Coating the solid dosage form, such as tablets, is considered common, but it is a critical process that provides different characteristics to tablets. It increases the value of solid dosage form, administered orally, and thus meets diverse clinical requirements. As tablet coating is a process driven by technology, it relies on advancements in coating techniques, equipment used for the coating process, evaluation of coated tablets, and coated material used. Although different techniques were employed for coating purposes, which may be based on the use of solvents or solvent-free, each of the methods used has its advantages and disadvantages, and the techniques need continued modification too. During the process of film coating, several inter-and intra-batch uniformity of coated material on the tablets is considered a critical point that ensures the worth of the final product, particularly for those drugs that contain an active medicament in the coating layer. Meanwhile, computational modeling and experimental evaluation were actively used to predict the impact of the operational parameters on the final product quality and optimize the variables in tablet coating. The efforts produced by computational modeling or experimental evaluation not only save cost in optimizing the coating process but also saves time. This review delivers a brief review on film coating in solid dosage form, which includes tablets, with a focus on the polymers and processes used in the coating. At the end, some pharmaceutical applications were also discussed.

Pairing International Taxation and Conflict of Laws: Common Challenges and Reciprocal Lessons

This article explores the relationship between two legal fields which represent the legal backbone of contemporary cross-border and Internet commercial activity: conflict of laws and international taxation. Despite the growing significance of the two fields of law, legal scholarship has yet to explore their intriguing relationship. Which state can levy tax on a multi-billion-dollar Delaware (US) corporation with headquarters in London (UK) that sells $500,000,000 worth of products to Australian consumers each year? Which law should adjudicate an online contract between a NSW corporation and a German corporation, signed online and addressing the delayed delivery of goods in Brazil due to the coronavirus outbreak? Despite the paramount significance of both disciplines, their traditional underpinnings appear to be fundamentally challenged and pressed by the realities of COVID-19, dynamic commerce and the digital environment. Our cross-disciplinary partnership aims to design a unifying conceptual framework that captures the essentials of both disciplines. Through reciprocal lessons, this framework will help address the uncertainty in both disciplines.

Carbon Footprints and Conventional Rice Cultivation; A Case Study in Thanjavur District

Aims: The study aimed to analyse the carbon footprint of conventional rice cultivation and also the carbon economic efficiency.&#x0D; Study Design: Multi-stage random sampling was used.&#x0D; Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu between April and May 2022.&#x0D; Methodology: Both primary and secondary data were used in the study. The main methodology used in finding the carbon footprint is LCA (Life Cycle Analysis). A well-structured interview schedule was used in the collection of data. Various kinds of literature were referred to find emission factors which were used in the study. A sample of 60 farmers was selected and data was collected. Also, 5 mills were visited to understand the process of milling, storage and transport of rice.&#x0D; Results: A total carbon footprint of 6720.46 Kg CO2e/ha was determined from the study for the cultivation, harvest, and post-harvest operations of rice production. Harvest and post-harvest processes result in a carbon footprint of 1851.46 Kg CO2e/ha, while the carbon footprint of cultivation is 4869 Kg CO2e/ha. In addition, the carbon economic efficiency was shown to be 23.39, meaning that the economic worth of rice production is 23.39 Rs per kg of carbon emission.&#x0D; Conclusion: An important factor in greenhouse gas emissions and a bigger carbon footprint is the use of fertilizers, irrigation techniques, and straw management. An important recommendation to reduce the carbon footprint is the alternate wetting and drying method of irrigation. A further way to lessen the environmental impact of rice farming is to use fewer fertilizers and pesticides.
