Published: January 2024

The study investigated the impact of capital structure on the profitability of manufacturing companies in Nepal, with a focus on Sarbottam Cement Nepal as a case study. A quantitative research design was adopted, and financial data from the company’s financial statements were utilized. The main financial ratios analyzed included debt to total assets, debt to total equity, return on total assets, return on equity, and net profit margin. Regression analysis was employed to examine the relationships between these variables. The findings of the ratio analysis revealed fluctuations and mixed performance in the debt management, profitability, and liquidity of Sarbottam Cement Nepal over the years. The debt-to-equity ratio showed variations, while the debt-to-assets ratio remained relatively stable. Return on equity and return on assets exhibited varying trends, with improvements in profitability until a decline in the later years. Net profit margin remained generally low, indicating a narrow profit margin. Liquidity remained stable throughout the years. The regression analysis results indicated that the debt-to-equity ratio and debt-to-assets ratio did not have a significant impact on return on equity. Similarly, these ratios did not significantly affect the return on assets. Liquidity and size also did not show statistically significant relationships with return on equity and return on assets. The independent variables did not demonstrate significant relationships with the profitability indicators of Sarbottam Cement manufacturing company.

Published: January 2024

This research was set out to assess the effectiveness of the design and implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a contributory factor to sustainable development (SD) in developing economies. The use of a case-study (Total’s oil exploration activities in the Niger-Delta region) allowed for a profound exploration of the subject. This was achieved by the use of documents and interviews. The sample comprised of two employees of Total Nigeria plc who were presented with a long list of in-depth and open-ended questions. The participants who work in CSR-related departments have vast knowledge about CSR and SD in Nigeria. The information provided by the respondents alongside data obtained from secondary sources were analyzed. It was concluded that the problem lies in the state of the external environment, the implementation of CSR as a result of the dearth in monitoring and regulation of CSR activities, and the lack of balance in social, economic and environmental investments in host communities.

Published: January 2024

Early childhood education serves as the cornerstone of lifelong development, shaping individuals’ cognitive, social, and emotional foundations. However, disparities in access, quality, and outcomes persist, posing a significant challenge to achieving equitable educational opportunities for all children. This comprehensive review paper explores socio-economic disparities in early childhood education, focusing on Nigeria and the United Kingdom (UK). Drawing from a systematic examination of research studies, government reports, and policy documents, this paper synthesizes key findings and compares the experiences of these two diverse regions. In both Nigeria and the UK, access disparities in early childhood education are evident. Nigeria grapples with a pronounced rural-urban divide, while the UK experiences regional variations in access. Quality disparities are also prevalent in both countries, with Nigeria facing infrastructure and teacher training challenges and the UK encountering funding and resource allocation issues. Furthermore, socio-economic factors influence parental engagement in early education, impacting children’s development in both contexts. The implications of these disparities are far-reaching, affecting individual children, families, and society as a whole. Addressing these disparities requires a multifaceted approach encompassing equitable policies, targeted interventions, and a sustained commitment from policymakers and stakeholders. This paper underscores the critical importance of early childhood education as a lever for promoting equity and social cohesion. The conclusion outlines policy imperatives, future research directions, and the imperative to create a brighter and more equitable future for the next generation. Societies can create an environment where every child can thrive regardless of socio-economic background by addressing disparities comprehensively. This review paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the global challenge of early childhood education disparities. It offers insights to inform policy and practice in diverse contexts.

Authors: M. Manalang Haydee , Aquino John Mathew
Published: January 2024

This study is an assessment of the perception of lowering the age requirement for student permits and non-professional driver’s licenses. Using a descriptive research design, the study was conducted in Land Transportation Office San Pablo with eleven LTO employees/enforcers and one hundred LTO clients of varying profiles. Data was collected through purposive sampling and self-made printed survey questionnaires, which included the age, sex, and driving experience of the respondents. The research aimed to assess the newly implemented policy. The results revealed that despite differences in profiles and driving experience, respondents agreed that young applicants have knowledge of traffic rules and regulations and vehicle maintenance. However, further training is needed to enhance their driving skills and avoid potential issues. These findings have implications for policymakers, road safety advocates, and drivers, suggesting that a lower age requirement is acceptable if applicants have adequate knowledge and training. In conclusion, this study contributes to people’ understanding of how age requirements for driver’s licenses impact traffic safety. The results suggest that decreasing age restrictions is not a major concern, but rather the emphasis should be on increasing knowledge and skills to prevent traffic accidents, especially among young drivers. This study highlights the need for evidence-based regulations and further research in this area to ensure the safety of all road users.

Published: January 2024

Synesthesia is a metaphor in the form of an expression related to the five senses used in a particular object or concept. Many people use language containing synesthesia to express something that has to do with human senses, especially in expressing impression over a song done by netizens in the form of comments. This study was conducted with the aim of disclosing and categorizing the types of synesthesia in netizen comments on the video lyrics of the song “Khanti”through the Rossa Official Youtube as the data source. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The types of synesthesia are divided into five human senses, namely the sense of sight (eyes), the sense of smell (nose), the sense of taste (tongue), the sense of touch (skin), and the sense of hearing (ears). The results show that the sense of touch (skin) has the highest intensity of occurrence, which is 5 times. Thus, it can be concluded that the expressions containing metaphors in the comments are more likely to perceive the sense of touching the skin than the other senses. AbstrakSinestesia adalah metafora berupa ungkapan yang berhubungan dengan suatu pancaindra yang digunakan dalam suatu objek atau konsep tertentu. Banyak orang menggunakan bahasa yang mengandung sinestesia untuk mengungkapkan sesuatu yang memiliki kaitan dengan indra manusia, terlebih dalam mengungkapkan kesan terhadap sebuah lagu. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengungkapkan dan mengategorikan jenis sinestesia yang terdapat dalam komentar warganet terhadap video lirik lagu “Khanti” melalui akun Youtube Rossa Official sebagai sumber datanya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif. Kategori jenis metafora sinestesia yang dideskripsikan terbagi ke dalam lima panca indra manusia, yaitu indra penglihatan (mata), indra penciuman (hidung), indra pengecap (lidah), indra peraba (kulit), dan indra pendengaran (telinga). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa indra peraba kulit memiliki intensitas kemunculan paling banyak, yaitu sebanyak 5 kali.

Validity and reliability of the daily activity behaviours questionnaire (DABQ) for the assessment of 24-h movement behaviours among adolescents
Authors: Kastelic Kaja , Šarabon Nejc
Published: January 2024

Measurement of the time spent in sleep, sedentary behaviour, and physical activity across the full 24-h day (i.e. 24-h movement behaviours) is essential for time-use research among adolescents. However, self-reported questionnaires for the assessment of 24-h movement behaviours are scarce. The aim of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of recently developed Daily Activity Behaviours Questionnaire (DABQ) for the assessment of time spent in sleep, sedentary behaviour, light physical activity, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity among adolescents. A convenience sample of 59 high-school students (34 female, age range: 15–18 years) was recruited. Participants were asked to complete a web-based DABQ at two occasions (two-weeks apart) to examine test-retest reliability of the DABQ, and to wear activPAL accelerometer to examine convergent validity of the DABQ. The test-retest reliability correlation coefficients (ICC) for the durations of sleep, sedentary behaviour, light physical activity, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity were 0.49, 0.64, 0.51, and 0.66, respectively. Convergent validity correlation coefficients (Spearman’s ρ) were 0.51, 0.38, 0.25, and 0.53, respectively. Our findings are comparable with the reliability and validity of most existing sleep, sedentary behaviour, or physical activity questionnaires among adolescents. However, DABQ is one of the first validated questionnaires that resonates with the emerging 24-h movement paradigm. The observed reliability and validity are indicating satisfactory measurement properties of the DABQ to be used in time-use research among adolescents.

Authors: Xiao Sidian
Published: January 2024

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment on patients with early postoperative inflammatory small bowel obstruction (EPISBO). Methods: 86 EPISBO cases admitted from October 2021 to October 2023 were grouped based on the double-blind method. The control group received conventional comprehensive treatment with Western medicine, and the observation group received integrated treatment with traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The clinical treatment effectiveness, general observation indicators, inflammatory factors, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups after treatment. Results: The total effective rate of clinical treatment of the observation group was higher than that of the control group. The post-operative bowel sound recovery time, anal exhaust time, first defecation time, and hospitalization time of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group. The post-treatment level of inflammatory factors of the observation group was lower than that of the control group. These results were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were no serious adverse reactions in either group. Conclusion: Implementing integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy can help post-appendectomy patients with EPISBO improve clinical treatment effectiveness, accelerate symptom improvement, and reduce inflammation without causing serious adverse reactions. Therefore, it is worthy of promotion and clinical application.

İdman təbabətinin sürətli inkişafına və idmançıların saglamlığının saxlanılması üçün farmakoloji vasitələrin istifadəsi sahəsində mövcud olan çox illik təcrübəyə baxmayaraq, iş qabiliyyətinin dərman vasitələri ilə bərpa proseslərinin yaxşılaşdırılması üçün vahid metodik tövsiyələr mövcud deyil. İdmançıya müəyyən bir farmakoloji preparatın təyin edilməsinə qərar verərkən həmin maddənin bədənə daxil edilməsinin məqsədini dəqiq başa düşmək və göstərişlərə uyğun olaraq ciddi şəkildə hərəkət etmək lazımdır.

Bu məqalənin məqsədi idmançıların iş qabiliyyətinin tibbi dəstəyinin bəzi təcrübi cəhətlərini nəzərdən keçirməkdir. Əks halda iş qabiliyyətinin artırılması cəhdi səmərəsiz ola bilər və ya idmançının bədəninin əks reaksiyası ilə nəticələnə bilər ki, bu da idman nəticələrinin itirilməsinə, zədələrə və xəstəliklərə səbəb ola bilər.

No cenário brasileiro, Recife se destaca por sua desigualdade social, agravada por fatores como expansão urbana, impermeabilização do solo e mudanças climáticas, que intensificam os impactos das chuvas torrenciais. Esses fatores aumentam a vulnerabilidade da região, gerando preocupações de segurança devido à ocorrência de deslizamentos, de escassez de água e de infraestrutura indadequada de esgoto. Tal situação afeta desproporcionalmente os estratos sociais. Este estudo busca correlacionar alagamentos resultantes da impoermeabilização do solo e chuvas intensas com o Índice de Vulnerabilidade Social (IVS). A análise abrangente usou dados de todos os bairros da capital pernambucana entre 2000 e 2010, identificando áreas com melhores e piores IVS. O Recife teve crescimento geral no período, destacando-se em "renda e trabalho" e "capital humano". No entanto, o subíndice de "Infraestrutura Urbana" cresceu menos devido às limitações no abastecimento de água e no tratamento de esgoto. Áreas de menor poder aquisitivo na cidade exibiram maiores IVS e maior propensão aos alagamentos, agravando sua vulnerabilidade. Em contrapartida, regiões financieramente mais abastadas, como zonas costeiras e comerciais, apresentaram melhores IVS. Em resumo, a desigualdade, agravada pelos problemas de infraestrutura e de riscos naturais, influenciam a vulnerabilidade social na cidade, evidenciando a necessidad ed e medidas que abordem esses desafios interligados. Assim sendo, o índice IVS constitui uma ferramenta úitil na tomada de decisões para os gestores municipais.
An isomorphism problem for objects in categories related to finite dimensional division algebras having henselian valuations
Authors: Yanchevskiĭ V. I.
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Let K be a field. In this paper, we found the necessary and sufficient conditions for K-homomorphisms of noncommutative finite-dimensional central division K-algebras with henselian valuations being K-isomorphisms. A similar result is obtained for the case of algebras with involutions. A category interpretation of these results is given.
