Why Inclusion Matters: Understanding How Types of Disabilities, Socio-demographic Characteristics and Occupational Aspirations Influence Employment Opportunities among Persons Living with Disabilities

The present study investigated the influence of disability types and socio-demographic status of people living with disabilities on employment opportunities. The study also examined how the career aspirations of people living with disabilities could impact the relationship between the variables in our first objectives. A descriptive survey was used to elicit data from 600 people living with disabilities in six Nigerian states. A logistic regression analysis revealed that having the communicative-vision type of disability, having no educational qualification, being a woman, not belonging to the privileged ethnic group, being middle-aged and having only numeracy skill without oral communication and literacy skills all affected negatively the chances of employment among people living with disabilities. Except for ethnic groups, career aspirations mediated the influence of disability types, gender, age, education and basic skills on employment opportunities. The implications of the findings were thereafter discussed.
Pengaruh Kinerja Keuangan dan Kinerja Olahraga Terhadap Harga Saham Klub Sepakbola

This study measures whether the financial and sports performance of a football club has an effect on stock prices. Financial performance can be measured through several methods, one of which is the measurement of financial performance using ratio analysis. This study observes the financial performance of football clubs in Europe who also sell their shares in capital markets such as the London Stock Exchange, BorsaItaliana, and Xetra. Research methods with quantitative approaches are used in this study. Sports performance is measured by the number of wins, losses and match series. There were 18 soccer clubs observed in this study. A simple linear regression analysis model is used to see the effect of financial and sports performance on soccer club stock prices. We find it unique in this study that the financial performance of football has a more substantial effect than sports performance which does not have a substantial effect on the stock price of football clubs.

Capital structure, market conditions and financial performance of small and medium enterprises in Buganda Region, Uganda

Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) continue to be major players in the economic growth of Uganda as well as many of the emerging economies. The Uganda Investment Authority had projected 5.5% economic growth by 2030 in anticipation of stable market conditions necessary for the sustained financial performance of SMEs. However, the business failure rate of SMEs in Uganda had persistently revolved around 70% in 2018 from 50% in 2004. This problem had been linked to the turbulent market conditions characterized by intensive competition as well as volatile consumption behavior of the customers. Empirical literature indicates that competitive intensity, as well as volatile customer demand, presents a negative impact on financial performance. Hence, the study sought to determine the moderating effect of market conditions on the capital structure-financial performance relationship of SMEs in Uganda. From a population of 218,561 SMEs, a sample of 453 respondents was selected out of which, 423 responded to the questionnaire. Primary data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression techniques. The hypothesis was tested at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings indicated that Market conditions had a positive and significant moderating effect on the capital structure-financial performance relationship (? = 0.175 and p = -0.027). We conclude that market conditions can strengthen/ weaken the effect of capital structure on the financial performance of SMEs. We recommend that SMEs should evaluate the market conditions during the process of deciding the financing mix for their operations to optimize the impact of capital structure on financial performance
Does Trading Volume Drive Systemic Banks’ Stock Return Volatility? Lessons from the Greek Banking System

The present research investigates the impact of trading volume on stock return volatility using data from the Greek banking system. For our analysis, the empirical study uses daily measures of volatility constructed from intraday data for the period 5 January 2001–30 December 2020. This period includes several market phases, such as the latest financial crisis, the European sovereign debt crisis and enforcement of restrictions on transactions owing to capital controls on the Athens Stock Exchange in June 2015. Based on the estimated quantile regressions, we find evidence of a direct impact of the trading volume on stock return volatility mainly in all quantiles. The findings extrapolated are of relevance and interest to financial (banking) analysts, policy makers and practitioners concerned with intraday data and volatility modeling.
Growth of RuO2 Thin Films by Pulsed-Chemical Vapor Deposition Using RuO4 Precursor and 5% H2 Reduction Gas

RuO2 thin films were grown on thermal SiO2(100 nm) and Ta2O5(4 nm)/SiO2(100 nm) substrates at 230 °C by pulsed-chemical vapor deposition using a RuO4 precursor dissolved in blend of chosen organic solvent (with fluorinated solvents) and 95% N2/5% H2 mixed gas as the Ru precursor and reactant gas, respectively. The phase of the deposited film, either being RuO2 or Ru, was controlled by the N2/H2 mixed gas feeding time. This was due to the fact that the time constant of the N2/H2 mixed gas for oxygen atom removal from the reaction surface was related to the reaction kinetics even under identical thermodynamic conditions. High-quality RuO2 films could be deposited at the N2/H2 gas feeding time of 1−10 s, whereas a Ru film was grown with longer N2/H2 gas feeding times of >15 s. The saturated growth rate and resistivity of the RuO2 thin films were 0.24 nm/cycle and ∼250 μΩ cm, respectively. Although the fundamental growth mechanism of the RuO2 film was based on self-decomposition of the RuO4 precursor, the N2/.
Effects of self-brand congruity and ad duration on online in-stream video advertising

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of self-brand congruity and ad duration on the effectiveness of in-stream online video advertisements. Design/methodology/approach Two online experiments were administered based on a 2 (self-brand congruity) * 2 (ad duration) between-subjects design. Three brand personality dimensions (excitement, sophistication and ruggedness) were included in the model as replicates, and effectiveness was measured using six dependent measures. Findings High self-brand congruity resulted in significantly greater attention, attitude toward the ad, attitude toward the brand and purchase intention when compared to low self-brand congruity. Higher recall of ad information was found for subjects who viewed ads low in congruity with their self-concepts. Attention, recall and recognition were significantly higher for participants who viewed 30-s ads. An interaction effect of self-brand congruity and ad duration was found on purchase intention. Research limitations/implications This study considered the impact of self-brand congruity and ad duration on the effectiveness of ads for only well-known brands inserted into short-form content. Future research should consider using ads without celebrities present or ads for fictitious brands inserted into long-form video content. Practical implications When producing video advertisements, an adequate selection of brand cues should be included that are deemed self-congruent with target audiences. Ad managers aiming to drive favorable consumer attitudes and purchase intention should select 15-s over 30-s ads. Originality/value This study examines the impact of self-brand congruity and ad duration on each stage of the hierarchy of effects model, including attention as a precursor to recall and recognition. The interaction effect between self-brand congruity and ad duration is also assessed.
Trifluoroacetic acid deposition from emissions of HFO-1234yf in India, China and the Middle East

Abstract. We have investigated trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) formation from emissions of HFO-1234yf, its dry and wet deposition, and rainwater concentration over India, China, and the Middle East with GEOS-Chem and WRF-Chem models. We estimated the TFA deposition and rainwater concentrations between 2020 and 2040 for four previously published HFO-1234yf emission scenarios to bound the possible levels of TFA. We evaluated the capability of GEOS-Chem to capture the wet deposition process by comparing calculated sulfate in rainwater with observations. Our calculated TFA amounts over the U.S., Europe, and China were comparable to those previously reported when normalized to the same emission. A significant proportion of TFA was found to be deposited outside the emission regions. The mean and the extremes of TFA rainwater concentrations calculated for the four emission scenarios from GEOS-Chem and WRF-Chem were orders of magnitude below the no observable effect concentration. The ecological and human health impacts now and the continued use of HFO-1234yf in India, China, and the Middle East are estimated to be insignificant based on the current understanding, as summarized by Neale et al. (2021).
Evaluation of Keratoconus Progression after Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments Implantation

Objectives: To report the evaluation of keratoconus progression after Ferrara intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, we evaluated progression in eyes with keratoconus after intrastromal corneal ring segments implant. It was considered progression when the increase of the maximum keratometry was greater than 1 Diopter (D) when comparing the first postoperative exam (6 months), and the last exam. Results: There was no progression after the surgery. When comparing the mean maximum keratometry pre-op (46.75D) and the pos op data (46.01D), with statistically significant (p-value: 0.047). An increase of less than 1D in these patients was also observed. In a descriptive analysis, 41 eyes were studied: 8 eyes had an increase greater than 1D, 19 eyes had an increase equal or less than 1D and 14 eyes maintained the initial D or had decreased within the years. Analyzing patient's ≤ 21 years, the variation of maximum keratometry between 6 months postoperatively was higher in this group (1.82 D ± 3.11) than in the group with more than 21 years (0.5 D ± 1.27). This data was not statistically significant (p=0.148). Conclusion: This study showed an evolution of maximum keratometry in the postoperative period of the intrastromal ring surgery. However, this increase in the stipulated time of the study was less than 1D in the majority of patients.

Physico-chemical, Tensile, and Thermal Characterization of Napier Grass (Native African) Fiber Strands

This article presents the extraction and effect of alkali treatment on the physical, chemical, tensile, and thermal characteristics of fiber strands obtained from Napier grass, a renewable biomass. In order to improve these properties, the Napier grass fiber strands were treated with sodium hydroxide. The alkali treatment was carried out using NaOH solution at three different concentrations (5, 10, and 15%) for 2 h. Characterization of untreated and alkali-treated Napier grass fiber strands was carried out by studying the chemical composition, surface morphology, functional group variation, crystallinity, and tensile and thermal behavior. It was found that untreated fiber strands have lower cellulose content, crystallinity, tensile properties, and thermal stability than alkali-treated fiber strands. Napier grass fiber strands treated with 10% NaOH showed optimum tensile strength, modulus, and percentage elongation with an improvement of 51.9, 47.3, and 12.1% respectively. Based on the properties determined for alkali-treated Napier grass fiber strands, we expect that these fibers will be suitable for use as a reinforcement in natural fiber composites.

The Effects of Visuomotor Training on the Functional Recovery of Post-Surgery Musculoskeletal Conditions: A Randomized Controlled Trial

(1) Background: Musculoskeletal conditions show increasing prevalence and high economic/human burden. Recovery for hip or knee surgery may require more than 26 weeks, while universally accepted rehabilitation guidelines are missing. Provided that multisensory-based training enhances motor learning, the study aims to verify if visuomotor training accelerates the recovery of lower limb motor function after orthopedic surgery. (2) Methods: Post-surgery subjects were randomly assigned to receive visuomotor training as an add-on to the conventional physical therapy (VTG), or receive the conventional therapy alone (CG). Subjects performed 40 one-hour training sessions in 8 weeks. The primary endpoint was the improvement in the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) over the minimally clinical important difference (MCID) at 4 weeks post-randomization. The secondary endpoint included pain reduction. (3) Results: Eighteen patients were equally distributed into the VTG and CG groups. While LEFS and pain scores significantly improved in both groups, the VTG exceeded the LEFS MCID by 12 points and halved the pain value after the first 4 weeks of treatment, while the CG reached the endpoints only after treatment end (p = 0.0001). (4) Conclusions: Visuomotor training offers an innovative rehabilitation approach that accelerates the recovery of lower limb motor function in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.
Awareness of Doing 3M (Wearing Mask, Physical Distancing, Washing Hands) During Pandemic Era in Rural and Urban Families

Introduction: The spread of Covid19 could be prevented by breaking the chain of transmission through the practice of wearing a mask while going outside or being in a crowd, washing hands using hand soap under running water, and doing physical distancing (3M). The difference in information distribution and access about Covid19 between rural and urban citizens connected to the awareness of doing 3M. This research aims to analyze the correlation between awareness and practicing wearing masks, washing hands, and physical distancing within rural and urban citizens. Methods: Data was collected using mixed-method survey, was done both online and offline to reach respondents from several provinces in Indonesia. Data retrieval was done using a questionnaire, and there were 2,196 people participated as respondents. Results and Discussion: Logistic regression analysis showed that age (p = 0.042; OR = 1.117), sex (p = 0.000; OR = 0.377), living area (p = 0.000; OR = 2.291), and knowledge (p = 0,000; OR = 1,450) have the significant relation with respondents' awareness of doing 3M. The age group of 27-36 years old, female, and well-knowledged respondents has a higher awareness of doing 3M than other groups. Rural citizens with a good awareness of doing 3M (87.78%) are bigger than urban citizens (76.02%). Conclusion: The good awareness of rural citizens has shown that both area's citizens already had the equality of information access, especially about Covid19 prevention and the government's policy and programs to reduce the spread of Covid199
Perceptions of teachers on teaching and learning with mobile devices in higher education classrooms in Oman: A pilot study

Mobile learning is a new educational paradigm. The use of mobile technology is popular on a global scale among students of higher learning. Mobile handheld devices have emerged as a learning tool for teachers and students in higher education classrooms. Nevertheless, the impact of mobile technology on learners has been an area of concern to teachers and administrators. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the perceptions of teachers on the use of mobile devices such as smart phones, iPads, notes and tablets in higher education classrooms. In this pilot study, in-depth one-to-one face-to-face interviews were conducted using semi-structured questionnaires. Limitations included the relatively small number of participants and restriction to only one of the many higher education institutions in Oman. The findings of this pilot study indicated that these technological tools can be potentially beneficial to the educational sector in the future and that more research should be conducted in the future in which a greater number of interviewees are sampled from more education institutions in Oman.Keywords: mobile devices; mobile learning; mobile technologiesPart of the Special Issue Technology enhanced learning in the MENA region
Enhancing Reading Comprehension of Junior High School Students Through Scaffolding Instruction

Scaffolding, as one of the structured-teaching learning strategies on language skills, has been developed worldwide including in Indonesian context. This paper investigates the effect of using scaffolding to enhance reading comprehension of ninth-grade students in SMP Negeri 04 Batu, East Java, Indonesia. The present study employs a quantitative research design which involves 30 participants (i.e. 12 males and 18 female), and their average ages are 15 years old. The instruments used in the study are pre-test and post-test besides questionnaire. The tests are done before and after using the scaffolding strategy and the questionnaire are used to identify the students’ perception and feeling after the implementation of the strategy. Data analysis are carried out using paired-samples t-test and the questionnaire (5-Likert scales) are analyzed descriptively. The results of the study show a significant difference between before and after using the scaffolding strategy. It indicates that the scaffolding strategy practiced by the students could build their reading comprehension skills by means of steps by steps activity. Besides, the students feel more comfortable and eager to read more authentic reading material on account of this strategy. Therefore, it is recommended for teachers and syllabus designers to include scaffolding instruction to enhance the students reading comprehension.
