The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of KMC to help achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.2, with an aim of reducing neonatal mortality to 12 per 1,000 live births per country. Healthcare workers play a significant role in initiating, supporting and sustaining the practice of KMC. This study assessed the healthcare workers attitude regarding KMC in Nyeri county referral hospital, Kenya. Methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive survey study. Census sampling method was used to recruit 28 respondents. A researcher administered questionnaires were used to collect data. Analysis was done using SPSS software Version 26. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used for analysis. Results: The study found that 89% (n=25) of the respondents had a positive attitude about KMC practice. Half of all the healthcare workers 50% (n= 14) had received training on KMC. Majority of the healthcare workers 71% (n=25) preferred incubators over KMC. However there was no significant relationship between (X2 = 0.700, df = 1, p = 0.403) training of healthcare worker and KMC adoption. Conclusion: The study concluded that the healthcare workers had a positive attitude towards KMC. Half of them had received training on KMC however, majority preferred incubators over KMC. The study recommends KMC sensitization seminars and continuous training of healthcare workers on KMC. Establishment of excellent centers as a way of motivating them is also recommended.","PeriodicalId":225986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scholarly Research and Reviews","volume":"3 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method used is a survey method by selecting five research locations that may have prospects for the development of vanamei shrimp cultivation. Sampling was carried out at five stations, namely location 1, namely at a location at the northern tip of Pangkep Regency, which borders the coast of Barru Regency. Location 2 is the location around the port of the Pangkep State Agricultural Polytechnic Campus; location 3 is in a location close to mangove vegetation; location 4 is at the mouth of the Mandalle Village River; and location 5 is in the part adjacent to the rice fields and traditional market of Mandalle Village. The water quality data collected includes data on salinity, oxygen, temperature, and pH of the water. The data was then analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis. The results of the research show that based on the results of water quality analysis such as salinity, oxygen, temperature, and pH, the water is still in accordance with the growth and life needs of vaname shrimp, with salinity values in the salinity range of 15.83–33 ppt and dissolved oxygen of 3.02–4.67 ppm, temperature of 28.92–29.38oC and a water pH in the range of 6.0–6.73. Thus, the research location makes it possible to cultivate vanamei shrimp based on water quality aspects, which include physical and chemical aspects.","PeriodicalId":225986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scholarly Research and Reviews","volume":" 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139140822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research aims to determine the level of eutrophication on the coast of Mandalle Beach based on indicators of nitrogen and phosphate content in the waters. The research was carried out for three months, namely April to June 2023. The research was conducted at five research locations, namely location 1, adjacent to fish cultivation and seaweed cultivation areas; location 2, adjacent to the Pangkep State Agricultural Polytechnic pier; location 3, adjacent to a mangrove forest; and location 4, located at the mouth of a small river and directly related to the sea and location 5, namely the location around the Mandalle traditional market and near the rice fields. Determining the location of the sampling is done by non-probability sampling. The data collected is on total nitrogen and total phosphate content. Data was collected by taking water samples, which were then brought to the laboratory for analysis. The data analysis used is descriptive analysis. The results showed that the total nitrogen content in the study was in the mesotropic tropic status, which was ≤ 0.750 ppm. Phosphate content at locations 1, 2, 4, and 5 entered the tropic status of the oligotrophic category, namely <0.010 ppm, while location 3 entered the tropic status of the mesotrophic category. Thus, the coast of Mandalle Beach is at a moderate fertility level with low nutrient content, so it can be stated that based on the elements N and P, the waters of Mandalle Beach have not yet experienced eutrophication.","PeriodicalId":225986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scholarly Research and Reviews","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132686676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unprofitable companies often struggle with financial constraints, declining market share, low employee morale, and talent retention issues, which significantly impact their HRM practices and overall organizational performance. These challenges include limited budgets for HR initiatives, difficulties in attracting and retaining high-quality talent, and managing employee motivation during times of uncertainty and restructuring. Additionally, the study examines the impact of these challenges on crucial HR metrics, such as employee engagement, turnover rates, and productivity. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a comprehensive framework for HRM strategies in unprofitable companies. The framework emphasizes the importance of aligning HR practices with the company's overall strategic goals, adopting innovative approaches to talent management, and enhancing employee engagement through effective communication and motivation techniques. The findings of this research contribute to the understanding of HRM in unprofitable companies by highlighting the distinctive challenges faced and providing practical insights for HR professionals offering guidance on strategic HR interventions that can help revitalize organizational performance, foster employee resilience, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of unprofitable companies.","PeriodicalId":225986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scholarly Research and Reviews","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127296767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The appearance of specific absorbance peak at 440 nm indicates the presence of Ag-NPs. The development of Ag-NPs as anti-arthritic molecules is one of the most interesting approaches for arthritic treatment as it can overcome poor delivery and the problem of drug resistance. The anti-arthritic activity of developed MO-AgNPs was determined by albumin denaturation assay.
