It leverages China 's macro data spanning from 2011 to 2021 to scrutinize the influence of digital financial development on the elevation of Chinese residents ' consumption standards. Moreover, it empirically probes into the impact mechanism. Empirical findings evince that digital finance has spurred the enhancement of residents ' consumption on twofronts:firstly, by fostering an augmentation in the consumption echelon of Chinese residents; secondly, by propelling the refinement of the consumption composition among Chinese residents.","PeriodicalId":499708,"journal":{"name":"International journal of membrane science and technology","volume":"60 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136134681","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}

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), is one of the most dominant health hazard that has emerged in the 21st century. This review embrace the drug resistance in MTB and inclusive overview of present phenotypic and molecular approaches for drug vulnerability testing, with particular attention to the methods endorsed and recommended by the WHO. “Drug resistance is an unavoidable consequence of the use of drugs; however, the appearance of multi-drug resistance can be managed by accurate diagnosis and perfect regimens. Moreover, the discovery of new chemical entities targeting specific vulnerabilities in the M. tuberculosis bacterium has gained significant attention. Various drug candidates are in different stages of preclinical and clinical development. Additionally, combination therapy approaches involving multiple drugs with complementary mechanisms of action are being explored to overcome drug resistance and improve treatment outcomes In recent years, funded collaborative efforts of researchers from academia, not-for-profit virtual R&D organizations and industry have resulted in the continuous growth of the TB drug discovery and development pipeline. While substantial progress has been made in the field of drug development against resistant TB, several clinical trials. Nonetheless, the current prospects in drug development against resistant tuberculosis hold great promise for improving treatment outcomes, reducing transmission, and ultimately eradicating this devastating disease.","PeriodicalId":499708,"journal":{"name":"International journal of membrane science and technology","volume":"9 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136135380","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}

Five diverse biomass species, such as dried Sugarcane Bagasse, Rice Husk, Cotton Waste, Mango leaves and Coal are represented in this context. Agricultural leftovers, coal, and sugarcane bagasse have all been identified through proximate analysis. In this we calculated (moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash contents).

Animatronic hands resemble human hands and are capable of carrying out a variety of tasks that humans are unable to do. Human hands cannot readily finish difficult tasks, but animatronic hands can mimic human movements and complete them. A number of actuators and sensors make up the robotic hand, which are managed by a person's hand. The pushers control how far the fingers can move. We employ flex sensors to detect the positions. The positions and motion of the hand are reported by sensors to Arduino. The microcontroller uses a 433MHz transmitter and receiver in both transmitter and receiver side to used for transmitting the data, so it will be access in remote area. We employ servo motors as actuators by getting the position and motion from another microcontroller also attached. Two microcontrollers are interconnected with 433MHz transmitter and receiver, Transmitter and receiver for 433 MHz When sending and receiving radio signals between any two devices, RF refers to a set of electronic RF transmitters and receiver modules.

Survey data were collected from 398 official supporter groups of Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC (Circles) and Accra Hearts of Oak SC (Chapters) using a purposive sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was utilized to gather the data. The study employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to validate the model. The results indicate that sponsorship significantly influences purchase intention and fans' attitudes. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that fan attitude mediates the relationship between sponsorship and purchase intention. These findings suggest that sponsorship plays a significant role in improving the purchase intention of football fans, and the impact of sponsorship on purchase intention is strengthened by fans' attitudes. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of the complex dynamics between sponsorship, fans' attitude, and purchasing intention, particularly in the context of Ghanaian football fans. While the study provides useful findings for industrial players and practitioners, it is essential to acknowledge that this study relied on cross-sectional survey data, which limits our ability to establish causal relationships. Additionally, the current study focused specifically on soccer fans of only two Clubs in Ghana, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings to fans of other teams or sports, limiting the applicability of the study's results to a broader context.","PeriodicalId":499708,"journal":{"name":"International journal of membrane science and technology","volume":"20 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136134689","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 study shows that, in comparison to other baseline distributions and comparators, increasing the number of parameters in the distribution improves its robustness and adaptability, making it more flexible in accommodating different types of data. The model is now more adaptable and can handle a wider range of data sets, making it a useful and effective tool for environmental modelling. The creation of the Lindley exponentiated Gumbel Distribution and the statistical qualities that go along with it bring up new possibilities for the analysis of environmental data, making a significant contribution to the larger initiatives in climate research and decision-making.

The methodology uses a mixed approach, explanatory scope and sequential explanatory design (DEXPLIS). Although very few universities apply risk management at the institutional level, the results show that it is feasible to design a risk management methodology applied to a specific educational management process that contributes to achieving institutional objectives. Therefore, it is concluded that the successful design of a risk management methodology facilitates the achievement of the objectives of the process to which risk management is applied and that risk management can have a direct impact on the licensing process by aligning the USR sub-processes with the sub-processes and indicators of the licensing process, being essential for a good design not only to know the dimensions of risk management but also to know the process applied, in this case, the process of University Social Responsibility.","PeriodicalId":499708,"journal":{"name":"International journal of membrane science and technology","volume":"41 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136232691","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}
