BackgroundUnfair labour practice is a serious challenge in primary health care (PHC) facilities (Akuffo & Kivipold 2018:12; Sroka & Weinhardt 2018:1). Unfair labour practice refers to being treated unfairly, denied other work benefits and better opportunities, while they are afforded to others by the supervisor (Down 2019:1; Traub Law Attorneys 2020:2). Unfair labour practice can also refer to being disliked by one's supervisor, negatively criticised and denied leave, while approved for others despite providing a reason (Down 2019:1; Traub Law Attorneys 2020:2). Thus, there is a need to explore the experiences of operational managers with regard to unfair labour practice by health area managers in healthcare facilities. The findings of the study can have an influence on issues related to unfair labour practice on staff during supervision and management of PHC facilities. Operational managers in this study refer to professional nurses, responsible for general supervision of staff and management of the PHC facility and a supervisee to a local health area manager.Studies conducted in the United States of America, Haiti and Canada revealed biased promotions for some frontline nursing managers, despite their hard work, loyalty and high level of education (Akuffo & Kivipold 2018:9; Gray 2019:10). The studies revealed that frontline nursing managers, who deserved to be moved to the top management positions, were denied the opportunity by their supervisors. Instead of being granted top positions, they (frontline managers) were criticised by their immediate supervisors and considered as quiet, meek, antisocial and managers who were Background: Unfair labour practices on staff is a worldwide concern which creates conflicts and disharmony among health workers in the workplace. It is found that, nursing staff members are unfairly treated without valid reasons in primary health care (PHC) facilities and predominantly in the developing countries and South Africa is not an exception. Objectives:The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the experiences of operational managers regarding unfair labour practices on staff by their local health area managers, and describe the perceptions of operational managers towards such treatment.Method: A qualitative, descriptive, exploratory and contextual research approach was considered appropriate for the study. The population of the study comprised operational managers working in PHC facilities in the North West province, South Africa. Purposive sampling was used to select participants for the study and focus group interviews used to interview 23 operational managers. Ethical measures were applied throughout the study. Results:The six phases of thematic analysis were used to analyse the data collected for the study. Two themes that emerged are experiences of factors related to unfair labour practices in the PHC facilities and the perceptions regarding how to improve their working conditions. The categories that were found in the first themes were favouritism and discrimination. ...

“…To protect against such high fluctuations in price of onion, the producers can organize themselves into growers associations and plan to grown different varieties of onion which have different sowing and harvesting periods. Meena et al, (2018) [7] conducted study in Bihar to measure the performance of onion for 40 years using secondary data from 1974 to 2014. In the first decade, onion gains the area at the compound growth rate of 1.7% per annum.…”

India is the second largest onion growing country in the world. Onion (Allium cepa L) is extremely important vegetable crop not only for internal consumption but also as highest foreign exchange earner among the fruits and vegetables. The time series data has been collected for 20 years (1999 to 2019) and classified into First decade (1999 to 2008) and Second decade (2008 to 2019) for comparing decade performance. Compound growth rate, Coppock's Instability Index, Supply response analysis and Markov Chain analysis are the tools used for analyzing the data. Growth rate in first decade were higher which was statistically significant at 1 per cent while the export value recorded comparatively higher annual growth rates at 20.99 per cent in first decade which was statistically significant at 1 percent level. In supply response analysis, among the price and non price factors, lagged yield only positively influences farmer's decision on acreage allocation in current year. The direction of trade in Indian onion export shows that UAE and Nepal are the highest stable onion market with the probability of retention 0.52 and 0.45 respectively from 1999-2019.It shows that there is a need to create our onion demand and maintain good relations with other countries to retain the market share.

In order to address the problem of citrus seedling pot filling and transporting which is time-consuming and labor-intensive in China, a scheme for seedling pot filling and placing was proposed, and a self-propelled citrus seedling pot filling and placing machine was designed which can fill and place 48 pots at one time. Firstly, the rotary hopper door mechanism was designed, the movement of the hopper door was analyzed, and the connection between the opening size and the movement time of the hopper door was determined. Then, the transmission system of the machine was designed, the power consumption of the hopper movement and substrate stirring were calculated, and the power requirement of the transmission system was determined. The lifting structure of the seedling pots frame was analyzed, the size of the flipping structure of the cover plate was calculated, and the seedling pots frame was designed. After that, the substrate flow rate curve was measured through the substrate flow rate experiments, and the hopper-controlled movement speed was calculated. Furthermore, the experimental prototype was manufactured and tested. The test results indicate that the filling number of pots was 48 one time, the filling time was 30 s, and the seedling pots were fully filled and placed in order. The average filling mass of the seedling pots was 2.23 kg, and the average mass variation coefficient was 2.7%. The substrate mass which is scraped out is 0.81 kg, accounting for 0.76% of the total filling mass at one time. This designed machine had a reasonable structure and high filling efficiency. The reseach can provide a reference for the development and optimization of the citrus seedling pots filling and transporting machine.
