Proposal for integrated organizational accounting reporting within the SDG framework
No full textUnderstanding the production of organizational information within the framework of sustainability implies migrating from financial information to integrated information. Therefore, we start from analytical empirical research with a mixed approach, which allows, from the review of the organizational reports included in the database of the GRI global reporting initiative of eleven (11) organizations in Colombia, to propose an integrated accounting report. within the framework of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The research allows us to conclude thatThe most accurate way to cover sustainability information is to complement financial information with non-financial information. Only in this way is it possible for the organization to achieve each one of the 17 sustainable development goals

Healthcare Logistics System Planning for Facility Location of Aging Society
No full textHealthcare facility location management is essential to the public infrastructure, particularly as it relates to access to the healthcare system. Therefore, the locations of primary healthcare centers (PHCs) must be sufficient to accommodate the size of the elderly population in the future. Thailand is entering an aging society. Most of research studied to improve service quality of healthcare more than consider amount of location of PHCs. So, the purpose of this study was to applied a geographic information system (GIS) to study coverage area of accessing to health facility location under condition of increasing elderly population. It analyzed by using the Dijkstra Algorithm and concept of last mile delivery center. For the elderly population, this research applied auto regression to forecast elderly population. The study found the population of elderly people will increase in every district by 2025, with the highest increase being in Khlong Sam Wa. The original locations point of PHCs in Bangkok included 145 locations, which can accommodate an area for the elderly to access a PHC. Health services need to be easily accessible by walking in 5-15 minutes [1]. Thus, the problem is the current locations of PHCs are insufficient to support a future aging society. This research applied the location of Covid-19 vaccine distribution model (CVDM) to support the positioning of healthcare services. The CVDM comprised 191 pharmacies/clinics then analysis the service coverage area. The point of location CVDM and PHCs which showed health services coverage by comparing walking times. This modal can increase service covering of walking in 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes of 4.34%, 11.78% and 20.35%, respectively. The efficiency of service cover-age for primary and secondary medical care for elder can be improved if the location of health service centers is increased
Elevation of Plasma Malondialdehyde Levels Associated with The Severity of Coronary Atherosclerosis in Coronary Artery Disease Patients
No full textThe present study aims to investigate the relationship between plasma MDA and the severity of coronary artery disease in CAD patients. A total of 159 newly diagnosed CAD patients were enrolled in the study with an average age of 65.5 ± 11.3 years old and 63% were male. Participants underwent an investigation of blood biochemistry and plasma MDA before the measurement of coronary artery angiography. They were then divided into four groups as control (non-CAD), single vessel disease (SVD), double vessel disease (DVD), and triple vessel disease (TVD) groups. The results showed high plasma MDA levels were observed in SVD, DVD, and TVD patients (1.64 ± 0.56, 2.32 ± 0.57, 2.52 ± 0.76, respectively) when compared with the control group (1.44 ± 0.54, P < 0.001). Interestingly, plasma MDA was associated with fasting blood glucose (r = 0.183, P = 0.024), total cholesterol (r = 0.231, P = 0.004), triglyceride levels (r = 0.269, P < 0.001), HDL-cholesterol levels (r = -0.221, P = 0.006), and LDL-cholesterol levels (r = 0.164, P = 0.044). ROC analysis was performed using both control and CAD patients as subjects. The cut-off for plasma MDA was 1.624 ?mol/L with 83.6% sensitivity and 28.0% specificity. The findings of this research showed that plasma MDA levels were associated with the severity of CAD
Atriplex (Atriplex halimus): Distribution, Morphology, Physiological Tolerance to Salinity and Drought: A Review
No full textAtriplex halimus is a halophyte plant that is grown in semi-arid and arid regions due to its high capacity to grow in high salinity and drought conditions. The objective of this paper is to review the physiological and morphological changes of A. halimus under different conditions of salinity and drought conditions, as well as compare the different results that are concerned with this plant in the different areas where this plant exists. The result of this review has shown that A. halimus adapt to different saline conditions by creating the balance of the vegetative growth as well as changing the leaves physiology to adapt to the drought conditions by decreasing the water content which Na creates the osmotic adjustment. The A. halimus can reduce/or increase the photosynthesis process depending on the level of drought and salinity conditions. The accumulation of Na increased in the plant as the soil salinity increased. The review has shown that A. halimus increase the uptake of heavy metals if it has high concentrations in soil. The review results show that the different morphological and physiological changes of A. halimus differ from one area to another depending on the drought conditions and soil salinity concentrations. The results showed that A. halimus can be used to rehabilitate deserts that suffer high salinity and drought. Moreover, it can be used to treat the soil contaminated with heavy metals

Sustainable Material Substitutes for Stop motion Puppet Exteriors
Get PDFSustainability with the materials used for the purposes of art are a par- adox which artists face; does the message brought forward by art outweigh the waste it produces? Central to this research is the production of stop motion puppet “fleshing” also known as the exterior of a stop motion puppet and the materials used to create it. It is the nature of stop motion animation to craft physical char- acters, props, and environments in order to animate. Vastly different from its counterpart, CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) animation, in which the entire animation is modelled digitally producing no physical waste; the single use na- ture of stop motion animation props deters enthusiasts from pursuing the craft. In addition to this issue, materials used in stop motion animation are usually purpose built in which it serves no purpose after being used in animation. As a result, productions produce large amounts of waste post animation. It is imperative to discuss the importance of exploration in materials conventionally used in non- animation disciplines and its potential application towards stop motion anima- tion. This research aims to find parallels in alternative material’s properties to enable the use of non-specialist products and its ability to be reused
