Trypanosome Infection in Cattle and Associated Vectors in Etang District of Gambella, Ethiopia.

Bovine trypanosomosis produces significant economic losses due to anemia, loss of body condition, and emaciation. The disease is transmitted biologically by tsetse flies and mechanically by biting flies such as Tabanus and Stomoxys. Therefore, this research is aimed at estimating the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis and the apparent density of its vectors in the Etang Special District. A cross-sectional study was employed from November 2016 to April 2017 for the prevalence and entomological survey. Trypanosoma species were identified using buffy coat and Giemsa staining techniques. Besides, the entomological surveys were conducted using NGU, pyramidal, biconical, and monoconical traps. The vectors were identified to their genus level based on their morphological features like size, color, wing venation, and proboscis. A total of 457 bovine blood samples were collected and tested, of these 16 (3.50%) animals were positive for trypanosomosis. Similarly, 13 T. vivax (81.25%) and 3 T. congolense (18.75%) were the trypanosome species detected. The prevalence in the young (2.56%) and adult (3.99%) age groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). However, there were significant (P < 0.05) differences in prevalence between body condition scores, where poor is 6.31%, medium is 1.30%, and good is 0%. Moreover, the difference in mean PCV values between the parasitemic (20.97) and aparasitemic (28.58) groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Glossina flies were not found, although 1756 Tabanus and 52 Stomoxys biting flies were gathered. Accordingly, the overall apparent density of Glossina flies was zero (0), with biting flies (20.54) recorded per trap per day. Moreover, the apparent density of Tabanus and 52 Stomoxys was 39.01 and 1.18, respectively. This study confirmed that trypanosomosis and abundant mechanical vectors continue to be problems in the study area, resulting in cattle productivity losses. As a result, strategic management and prevention methods for trypanosomosis and associated vectors should be prioritized. Further investigation of vector needs to be conducted to clear out tsetse presence.

Стратегическое управление городской территорией

For the past 20 years, a significant experience in the strategic management of municipalities has been accumulated in Russia, which requires studying, identifying and replicating best practices, as well as eliminating the negative aspects found in this area. The article examines the experience of several municipalities, draws conclusions about the current state of affairs in creating strategic development plans in them, makes recommendations on a wide range of issues. Great interest is shown in the problem of creating development strategies and improving existing practices in this area at all levels of state and municipal government. The problems associated with the practice of strategic planning at the municipal level are highlighted, which does not include the use of a number of modern methods of strategic management (in particular, strategic sessions) and the involvement of third-party organizations for their development, which leads to the lack of use of rich local information resources and the experience of specialists; and also the unclear formulation of development priorities, which leads to a lack of focus of performers’ efforts. Of particular interest may be the analysis of the missions of municipalities and the modeling of the mission of municipal government, which was done by the authors in this article. Recommendations are made both on the development of the strategy and on its implementation. In particular, it is proposed to replicate the practice of using a marketing approach, which makes it possible to determine strategic development priorities taking into account the competitive advantages of municipalities. Much attention is paid to the issue of updating development strategies in the context of modern realities, as well as the priority of the problem of demography, which has become a bottleneck in ensuring sustainable development of territories. A number of proposals are made to improve the mechanism for implementing municipal strategies. Recommendations concern issues of improving the organization of work, assigning responsibility, and improving the qualifications of personnel. These recommendations pertain to Tomsk, but can be utilized by professionals specializing in the same field in other cities and levels of government.

Вопросы стратегического управления в нефтегазовых компаниях при освоении арктических месторождений

The current development of hydrocarbon fields in the Arctic necessitates innovation-driven solutions regarding technology and management. While extensive production experience exists in onshore projects, the complexities of offshore hydrocarbon fields, such as limited access and underdeveloped infrastructure, demand strategic decisions in an unstable market environment. Long-term in nature, these decisions require a comprehensive application of strategic management methods and tools. The irreversibility of economic processes associated with substantial investments and the potential for major financial losses in project failure underscore the importance of employing strategic management methodologies. Global factors such as fluctuating oil prices, geopolitical challenges, the rise of green energy, and heightened corporate social responsibility expectations in the oil and gas sector necessitate a reevaluation of fundamental principles in strategic management systems. This study employs logical and general research methods to classify and synthesize relevant literature, identifying strategic management issues and evolving principles and approaches in strategy formulation. Technical and economic aspects of project implementation onshore and offshore are highlighted. The article argues for the revision of strategic management principles in Arctic oil and gas projects, particularly in offshore field development. Conceptual models of functional strategies for business units implementing onshore and offshore projects are proposed.

Microplastic Pollution in Oceans: A Barrier to Achieve Low Carbon Society

A society is known as low carbon society where individuals cut down the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions generated from different human activities without affecting any development needs. The increasing presence of carbon emissions has increased the need for urgent actions in this regard. To mitigate the effect of climate change ocean’s contribution is remarkable. But humans are treating oceans to dispose of their waste, which is affecting the ocean’s capacity of carbon sequestration. Out of all the pollution entering into oceans, (micro) plastic pollution is the most observable impacting the ocean’s capacity of carbon absorption. The evitable exposure of microplastics in oceans emphasized the need to know about the harmful effect of microplastics and measure to control them. Therefore, this review primarily focuses to define the role of oceans in achieving low carbon society and how microplastic is acting as a barrier to reduce oceans capacity to absorb and process atmospheric carbon into oxygen. The measures such as less use of plastic in production, education and awareness about the use of eco-friendly usages and activities, life cycle assessment and less consumption of plastic and strategic waste management method, recycling, and waste-to-energy recovery were suggested to solve the global problem of microplastics pollution.

Cannulation Indocyanine Green Method for Strategic Management of Postoperative Arterial Thrombosis after Free Jejunal Flap Transfer

Summary: Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography is widely used in reconstructive surgery to confirm the perfusion of the flap. Here, we report a case in which the use of the “cannulation ICG method” was useful for strategic management of postoperative arterial thrombosis after free jejunal flap transfer. A 64-year-old woman underwent cervical esophagectomy followed by a free jejunal transfer. On postoperative day 3, ischemia of the free jejunum was suspected, and takeback was performed. In the reoperation, re-anastomosis of the artery was planned after the removal of arterial thrombus. However, before re-anastomosis, it was unclear whether there was venous thrombus and whether this jejunum flap was salvageable. To resolve these two questions, we performed the cannulation ICG method. In this method, we injected a mixture of 1.0 mL of ICG and 20 mL of blood into the jejunal artery via 24-gauge cannula. We then evaluated the perfusion of the jejunal flap and monitoring jejunum, and the patency of the venous anastomosis site using a near-infrared fluorescence imaging device (LIGHTVISION; Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan). In this case, the whole jejunal flap (including the monitoring jejunum) and venous anastomosis site were highlighted. We determined that there were no venous thrombi and that the entire jejunum was salvageable. After the arterial re-anastomosis, ICG angiography showed good perfusion of the whole jejunum. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the free jejunal flap survived completely. The cannulation ICG method may be effective for determining the surgical method for reoperation due to arterial thrombosis after reconstruction of the free jejunum.

Оптимізація стратегій управління фінансами підприємства

The diversity and increasing complexity of the market environment, the intensity and dynamism of production, and economic processes require enterprises to maximize their capabilities and reserves. The transformational processes taking place at domestic enterprises are primarily related to finance. The analysis of cash flows, the search for effective sources of financing, profitable investment solutions, and the development of rational accounting and tax policies form the basis of modern enterprises' activities. Therefore, in current conditions, the method and methodology of strategic financial management are increasingly used in enterprise management. In this connection, the issues of forming a financial strategy and managing the developed financial strategy become especially relevant. Today, the task of creating a financial management system that is consistent with a competitive strategy is especially suitable for enterprises. The need for significant amounts of investment resources, the peculiarities of business processes, and related uncertainties determine the contours of the financial management system, including investment and risk management. In current business conditions, deciding on financial management methods influencing business risks is essential. The development of a strategy for managing the financial activities of an enterprise is a critical component in the success of its functioning since, without the correct choice of the general direction of movement in the long term, it is impossible to solve the current tasks of managing the organization's monetary funds effectively. The significance of the process of developing a financial activity management strategy, among other things, is that in the absence of such a strategy in the conditions of environmental variability, different structural units of the organization can conduct multidirectional policies, which, of course, can negatively affect the level of the financial position of the enterprise. In addition, without a constructed and documented strategy for managing financial activities, enterprise managers can make multidirectional financial decisions, which may lead to a contradiction in the system of managing economic activities. Keywords: optimization, strategy, enterprise, environment, planning.

To set out the basic approaches to the concept of “cost management system”, to study the essence of the system through its elements and establish the relationship between them; to determine which methods of the system are most preferable for the successful performance of each function; to formulate recommendations for effective organization of the cost management system in modern conditions.Methods. In the process of research general scientific methods are used; generalization of the results is carried out at the expense of the tabular and graphic form of presentation; four groups of methods of the account of expenses and management of their level - traditional and modern, methods of strategic management of expenses and methods of the concept of economical manufacture are allocated. In each group examples of methods are resulted, their brief characteristic is given.Results. The key measures within the system of costs management, the successful implementation of which is ensured by performing the functions of the system, have been shown; the contents of the functions has been revealed, as well as the relationship between them has been established; the possibility of effective use of the methods within each function of the system has been determined. It was revealed that the inefficient performance of one function has a negative impact on the performance of other functions. To eliminate this limitation, it has been suggested to allocate financial responsibility centers that act as a key tool to motivate employees to build an effective cost management system and achieve target performance indicators.Conclusions. The system of cost management serves as a component of the management system of the organization as a whole, is inseparably connected with accounting and is directed to optimization of the total cost level at simultaneous increase of efficiency of financial and economic activity. The system approach to cost management is characterized by the possibility of using various tools and methods of costing, cost accounting and management of their level. Inconsistent application of methods and tools with the system functions, as well as with its goals and objectives indicates the poor quality of the organization of cost management, which affects the management system as a whole.
