A Biodegradable Implant for Delayed Vaccine Delivery
Authors:   , Ilich Norman
Published: December 2024

Delayed drug release allows for the controlled delivery of therapeutics requiring multiple doses achieved through careful design of the delivery system and material properties. This thesis explored the development of a delayed release implant using biodegradable polymers. A delayed release profile was successfully achieved using a novel polymer and showed an appropriate tissue response. This thesis also highlights the importance of test methods to better predict mechanical stability when implanted and methods to maintain efficacy of the payload. This technology is ideal for the veterinary sector where booster vaccinations can be given with the initial dose.

Authors: Diaz Dumont Jorge Rafael , Ledesma Cuadros Mildred Jénica
Published: December 2024

El objetivo general del estudio consistió en analizar la situación del alfabetismo en América Latina y el Caribe en una realidad de cifras y de políticas públicas implementadas, basándose en datos cuantitativos. La investigación adoptó un paradigma positivista y un diseño no experimental con un nivel descriptivo. La muestra utilizada consistió en estadísticas que reflejaban cifras y tendencias de alfabetismo y analfabetismo en diferentes contextos geográficos, lo que permitió describir y analizar la situación. Para lograrlo, se recopiló una variedad de información teórica y estadística. En un primer análisis, se exploraron los conceptos de alfabetismo, buscando comprender y contextualizar el tema. Además, se examinaron diversos indicadores y tendencias relacionados con el alfabetismo. Entre las principales conclusiones de este estudio se destacan: El alfabetismo es un derecho humano esencial que requiere políticas públicas efectivas para garantizar competencias básicas en lectura y escritura. En el extremo, al marcar un parámetro del 40% en la tasa de alfabetismo, existen países que en promedio tienen una tasa de alfabetismo del 33%, deduciéndose que, la tasa de analfabetismo es del 67%; es decir, de cada 100 personas, 67 son analfabetas. En el caso de América Latina y el Caribe, la tasa de alfabetización fue del 95 % (2022); siendo realidades que implican que los compromisos internacionales asumidos, deben ser revaluados y monitoreados.

Authors: Rodríguez-Márquez Ritssy Liney , Angulo-Rangel Franklin Alejandro , Ustate Pérez Marili
Published: December 2024

Este artículo aborda la intersección entre la innovación en turismo ecológico y cultural y su contribución al desarrollo sostenible. El objetivo del estudio es identificar y proponer estrategias innovadoras que promuevan la sostenibilidad, con un enfoque especial en la participación comunitaria y la preservación de los recursos naturales y culturales. Los resultados de la investigación revelan que las estrategias más efectivas incluyen el uso de tecnologías sostenibles, como energías renovables y sistemas inteligentes de gestión de recursos, y la inclusión activa de las comunidades locales en la planificación turística. Esto no solo fomenta la conservación del entorno, sino que también impulsa el desarrollo económico y social. En cuanto a la participación comunitaria, los casos exitosos demostraron que las comunidades que participan en la toma de decisiones logran una mejor distribución de beneficios y una mayor preservación de su patrimonio. Se destaca la importancia de un modelo de gobernanza participativa que integre a todos los actores involucrados —comunidades, gobiernos y empresas— para garantizar que el turismo ecológico y cultural no solo sea económicamente viable, sino también socialmente inclusivo y ambientalmente responsable. Se recomienda a los gobiernos fomentar políticas que incentiven estas prácticas, y a las empresas turísticas, adoptar tecnologías inteligentes y sostenibles.

Authors: Riascos-Erazo Sandra Cristina , Aguilera-Castro Adriana
Published: December 2024

El efecto de los procesos de aprendizaje derivados de la educación, tanto formal como informal, se hace visible en la operación de las organizaciones, en las que los profesionales deben actuar. Este estudio busca determinar la relación entre los procesos de aprendizaje y la gestión del conocimiento en 256 Pymes de Colombia, utilizando un enfoque cuantitativo. Se aplicó un cuestionario a los directivos de las empresas objeto de estudio, y se emplearon ecuaciones estructurales para analizar la información. Entre los principales hallazgos se encontró que las actividades de aprendizaje más frecuentes son: lecciones aprendidas; planes de formación y desarrollo centrados en la mejora de procesos; y asistencia a eventos, congresos y ferias. En menor medida, se observan actividades orientadas a la mentoría. Se puede concluir que el aprendizaje organizacional influye de forma positiva en la gestión del conocimiento de las Pymes de Colombia, especialmente porque el aprendizaje contribuye al cambio de la cultura organizacional; y además se ratifica la relación entre gestión del conocimiento y aprendizaje organizacional en el contexto de las Pymes, que se evidenció en la indagación teórica.

Authors: Ortiz Holguín Katherine Marian , Guerrero Bejarano María Auxiliadora , Manosalvas Vaca Carlos Anibal , Mora Estrada Osbel
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo de enfoque cuantitativo transversal tuvo como objetivo medir la relación existente entre las evaluaciones de desempeño y los niveles de desempeño de los empleados que son periódicamente evaluados. Se trabajó con diez empresas que conforman un grupo empresarial en Ecuador dentro de la industria farmacéutica. Se levantó información de dos maneras. Para medir la relación de las variables, se utilizaron informes entregados por las empresas que corresponden a sus evaluaciones de desempeño en los años 2022 y 2023, así como la información de productividad de los trabajadores en los mismos años. Finalmente, se utilizó un cuestionario para medir la percepción de los trabajadores frente al proceso de evaluación de desempeño presente en el grupo. Se trabajó con una muestra no probabilística compuesta por 300 empleados de las distintas áreas de las diez empresas que conforman el grupo; en los resultados se encontró una baja correlación entre las variables en el mismo año, mientras que se demostró que la evaluación de desempeño tiene una influencia positiva en la productividad de los empleados al siguiente año de haber sido evaluados. Este trabajo apoya estudios previos que destacan la relevancia de la comunicación y transparencia en las evaluaciones para mantener la motivación y el compromiso de los empleados.

Authors: Verenzuela-Barroeta Daniel , Salas-Hernández Adrián
Published: December 2024

Este estudio analizó la relación entre satisfacción laboral y compromiso organizacional en trabajadores de la Alcaldía del municipio Girardot, Venezuela. Sus objetivos fueron describir los niveles de satisfacción laboral, caracterizar los componentes del compromiso organizacional, examinar la relación entre ambas variables y evaluar la influencia de la primera sobre la segunda. Con enfoque cuantitativo, alcance descriptivo y explicativo y diseño no experimental, correlacional causal de corte transversal, se seleccionó una muestra aleatoria de 194 trabajadores. La satisfacción laboral fue evaluada con la Escala de Satisfacción con los Recursos Laborales (Spontón et al, 2019) y el compromiso organizacional con la escala Commitment to Organizations and Occupations en la versión de Vilcarromero et al, (2020). Los datos se analizaron con estadística descriptiva, correlación Rho de Spearman y regresión lineal. Los resultados indican bajos niveles de satisfacción laboral y compromiso organizacional, correlación fuerte y positiva (=0,792) y un 74,40% de variabilidad en el compromiso organizacional que se explica por la satisfacción laboral. Se concluye que las condiciones laborales adversas derivadas de la crisis socioeconómica y la gestión ineficiente limitan compromiso de los trabajadores. Se sugiere explorar factores psicosociales y realizar estudios longitudinales para ampliar las perspectivas.

Authors: Crespin Crespin Diana Carolina , Tenicota García Alex Giovanny
Published: December 2024

El desempeño laboral es una herramienta que permite a las empresas conocer diferentes actitudes y comportamientos de su recurso humano que pueden influir de manera directa al cumplimiento de sus objetivos institucionales. La presente investigación planteó como objetivo, analizar el efecto de las variables satisfacción laboral y compromiso organizacional, y clima laboral en el desempeño laboral de las mujeres en un grupo empresarial industrial pesquero ecuatoriano. La metodología empleada fue de enfoque cuantitativo, diseño no experimental, corte transversal y alcance explicativo, con muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia en las condiciones del personal operativo y aplicando cuestionario estructurado con escala Likert. Las dimensiones de estructura, responsabilidad y conflicto inherentes al clima laboral y la satisfacción laboral influyen positivamente a la mejora del desempeño laboral de las mujeres trabajadoras del contexto de estudio. En cambio, el compromiso organizacional descarta su influencia directa para este caso del sector industrial, estudiando pensar que la productividad podría ser afectada de manera directa por la baja motivación. Próximas investigaciones podrían estudiar el compromiso organizacional mediante metodologías cualitativas, tomando en cuenta sus dimensiones y motivación del personal.

Authors: Saldarriaga Salazar María Eugenia , Rengifo Acosta Angie Viviana
Published: December 2024

El objetivo propuesto fue analizar la planeación estratégica como principal herramienta para el éxito de las microempresas colombianas, para lo cual se consideró la información suministrada por la Fundación Red Emprendedoras Popayán, destacando su valor para el sector económico. El problema es que la falta de uso adecuado de la planeación estratégica, limita el progreso y crecimiento en el entorno empresarial. La fundación reconoció sus falencias y expresó su deseo de mejorar. Se elabora marco teórico a partir de postulados de diversos autores; la metodología fue cuantitativa de tipo descriptiva, utilizando muestreo no probabilístico deliberado y encuestas a 27 participantes. Los hallazgos revelaron la necesidad de acompañamiento, el déficit de conocimiento, y la implementación insuficiente de la planeación estratégica, lo que llevaba al cierre de microempresas a mediano plazo. En conclusión, aunque hubo un reconocimiento de su importancia, existía una brecha significativa entre la identificación y la aplicación efectiva de estas prácticas; sin embargo, al corregir estas situaciones, podría mejorar la competitividad y sostenibilidad.
Desde el cine, sobre el cine, contra el cine: la revista Plastic-Films (1915), de Vives, Jordá y Soler
Authors: Figueroa Carlos
Published: December 2024

La siempre esponjosa curiosidad del teatro lírico español se asomó pronto a las novedades ofrecidas por el cinematógrafo. La revista Plastic-Films (1915) logró concitar elementos supervivientes del género chico con personajes, situaciones y una estética provenientes del cine. A través de elaboradas pantomimas y un complejo montaje escénico, la obra suponía una evolución en cuanto al carácter alegórico o meramente anecdótico con que se presentaba el séptimo arte en sainetes y revistas anteriores. El cine no era ya un espacio ni una metáfora, y aunque se aludía a elementos de moda, imperaba el carácter de ilusión apabullante que bien podía y aun debía ofrecer, recrear e incluso mejorar el teatro. La conclusión de Plastic-Films era significativa: el verdadero espectáculo de aquellos tiempos eran los ballets rusos. El teatro, por tanto, debía prevalecer. El presente artículo busca indagar en esa pugna entre los dos medios, analizando los elementos plásticos y retóricos tomados del cine por la revista en su afán por demostrar que su magia era susceptible de ser trasladada hasta las tablas.

Para que sea vivido: la concepción teatral en el pensamiento de María Zambrano
Authors: Rodríguez Roríguez Nieves
Published: December 2024

La relación de María Zambrano con el teatro, en su dimensión política y metafísica, es una contaste en la vida y pensamiento de la filósofa. Tras la experiencia del exilio se le aparece Antígona, la heroína trágica que la acompañará durante más de veinte años —en los que indaga sobre el tiempo, el sueño, el delirio, la democracia o la piedad—y que dará como fruto su obra teatral La tumba de Antígona (1967). Este artículo, pues, pretende iluminar estas relaciones y la recepción del pensamiento en el teatro contemporáneo actual.
Spillovers Among Interest Rates, Bond Yields, Stock Market Returns, and Exchange Rates: Evidence from South Asian Economies
Authors: Saleem Hassan Mujtaba Nawaz , Mazhar Fatima , Ahmad Rashid , Yousuf Muhammad
Published: December 2024

This paper analyses how Bond yields, Inflation, and GDP Growth may influence Interest rates, Stock Market Returns, and Exchange rates in South Asian countries i.e. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Panel data has been collected from the World Bank and IMF for the years 2000-2023. From judging the results, the Pooled Mean Group has been used. The analysis reveals that interest rates in South Asian economies are significantly influenced by bond yields, inflation, and GDP growth. Stock market returns are driven by bond yields and trade openness, while inflation plays a key role in determining exchange rate movements. These relationships are economically justified based on classical economic theories of monetary policy, portfolio diversification, and trade openness. The significant coefficients suggest that policymakers in South Asia should consider these factors when formulating monetary and financial policies to achieve financial stability and inclusive growth. Policymakers should enhance coordination between monetary and fiscal policies, monitor bond market activities, and adjust policy rates based on inflation targets. Strengthening inflation-targeting frameworks and adopting a counter-cyclical monetary policy can help manage inflation expectations and prevent overheating during economic booms and slowdowns.

Published: December 2024

Приводятся результаты применения различных методов обогащения к бедным гематитовым рудам. Исходная руда представляла собой глинистую породу с содержанием железа 17,2%. Приведен минералогический состав исходной руды, результаты обогащения отсадкой, магнитной сепарацией, в том числе после обжига с добавками, флотацией. Показано, что обогащение самым простым методом отсадки позволяет достичь содержания железа общего в концентрате 50%, но на этот показатель определяющее влияние оказывает крупность вкрапления гематита в руде. Дальнейшее обогащение позволяет достичь содержания железа общего в концентрате 60%.

The results of applying various methods of processing to low-grade hematite ores are presented. The original ore was a clay rock with an iron content of 17,2%. The mineralogical composition of the original ore, the results of processing by washing, magnetic separation, including after roasting with additives, flotation are given. It is shown that enrichment by the simplest method of cleaning allows reaching the iron content of 50%, but this indicator is determined by the size of hematite inclusions in the ore. Further enrichment makes it possible to achieve iron content of 60%.

The article presents the material on studying the blood level of the main macro- and microelements in cows in case of physiological and complicated gestation course. The pathological gestation course manifested itself in the form of fetal intrauterine growth restriction syndrome. It has been found that in the first 2 months of gestation in the cows with complicated gestation, the content of copper is lower by 19.5%, zinc – by 17.2%, manganese – by 17.5%, protein-bound iodine – by 19.3%, which is one of the predisposing factors of the occurrence and development of gestation pathology. At the period of 135-150 days, in case of the pathological gestation course, the trend towards a reduced blood content (16.1-34.6%) of the main macro- and microelements persists, which leads to a slowdown in fetal growth, manifested by a decrease in its size by 21.6-42.5 %, placentas – by 38.7%, middle uterine arteries – by 8.5%, in case of an increase in blood pressure by 15.0-18.8%, which is considered as a compensatory mechanism that provides the necessary level of nutrients and oxygen to the fetus. At the final stage of gestation, in case of its complicated course, a significant decrease in the blood concentration of copper by 23.9%, zinc – by 22.3%, manganese – by 28.9%, cobalt – by 39.2%, protein-bound iodine – by 24.9% was detected, indicating a lack of essential elements necessary for the growth and development of the fetus.

Diagnostic Errors of Nodular Adenomyosis on the Example of a Clinical Case
Authors: Grigoryants A. A. , Akseneko V. A.
Published: December 2024

Introduction. One of the less common forms of adenomyosis is the nodular type, characterized by localized foci composed of damaged endometrial glands and altered muscle and connective tissue ﬁbers. Diagnosing nodular adenomyosis is oﬅen challenging, with the diagnosis frequently made intraoperatively or during histological examination.

The purpose of the work. To analyze a clinical case involving a patient with nodular adenomyosis and a prolonged history of pelvic pain syndrome, aiming to identify diagnostic errors associated with this condition.

Materials and methods. A clinical case was reviewed based on the patient’s medical history and treatments conducted prior to admission to the Gynecology Department of the Stavropol State Medical University Medical Center.

Results and discussion. The chronology of diagnosis and treatment, along with an analysis of errors that led to the chronicity of the pathological process and subsequent deterioration in the patient’s quality of life and overall condition, is presented. This clinical case demonstrated that a gynecologist’s primary responsibility when examining patients with pelvic pain syndrome is to conduct detailed diagnostics. The authors re-evaluated the patient’s magnetic resonance imaging scans and suspected the diagnosis of “nodular adenomyosis”, which justiﬁed performing laparoscopy to conﬁrm the condition. During the procedure, the diagnosis was conﬁrmed, and the nodular adenomyosis was excised simultaneously. To prevent adhesion formation, an anti-adhesion barrier was applied.

Conclusion. Laparoscopy is one of the most critical methods for diagnosing pelvic pain syndrome, as it enables early diagnosis, detailed examination of pelvic and abdominal organs, and the simultaneous execution of therapeutic interventions.

Introduction. According to WHO, nowadays there is a tendency towards an increase in the average age of the population. This creates preconditions for the prevalence of cognitive impairment increase. So, the problem of cognitive disorders early diagnosis is currently relevant.

The aim of the study is to analyze the current state of virtual reality technologies using in the field of neurorehabilitation, and to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of rehabilitation of cognitive abilities in a virtual environment in comparison with traditional methods.

Material and methods. 245 publications were found in the PubMed database using keywords. After selection, 25 publications were included in the final sample.

Results. During the publications analyzing, it was revealed that traditional methods of neurorehabilitation affect only socially significant components. Despite the topic relevance, there are only 6 programs for cognitive abilities rehabilitation. But, existing programs are a computer interpretation of traditional methods. However different studies indicate different clinical effectiveness degrees, which makes it difficult to draw a clear conclusion.

Discussion. The use of virtual reality for the cognitive abilities rehabilitation is a promising direction in modern restorative neurology. Among other things VR opens up opportunities for mount rehabilitation in a remote format. Different clinical efficacy levels in different publications is due to the small number of studies and differences in the research methodology.

Conclusion. It has been revealed that the problem of using virtual reality in the field of neurorehabilitation is currently relevant. However, more studies are needed to assess the clinical effectiveness of such methods.

A Note on a Satrapal Coin with the Inscription ΔΗ
Authors: Bodzek Jarosław
Published: December 2024

In recent years, previously unknown coins with the depiction of the Great King and the inscription ΔΗ on the obverse and a boar protome on the reverse have surfaced on the antiquarian market. They are hemiobols struck to the reduced Milesian weight standard. Apart from the Historia Numorum Online website (HNO), the coins have not yet appeared in major Greek coin catalogues. The representation and inscription on the obverse clearly refer to one of the series of the well-known “Great King/Map of Ionia” issue. On the HNO website and in auction descriptions, the coins are dated to the 5th or 4th century, respectively, and are attributed to an unspecified Ionian or Karian mint. This paper presents their iconographic and metrological analysis, examines their relationship to the “Great King/Map of Ionia” issue, and attempts to refine the dating. The analysis has confirmed the Karian attribution of the coins, although the mint itself remains undetermined. It is proposed to narrow down the dating of the described issue to the first quarter of the 4th century or slightly later. It is also suggested that it be considered as belonging to the group known as “coins of satraps”, struck out of urgent need, perhaps to finance military activity.
A Case of Competing Attributions: Small Anepigraphic Levantine Silver Coins with a Female Head and an Eagle on a Thunderbolt
Authors: Johananoff Mati
Published: December 2024

Possible attributions of small anepigraphic silver coin types portraying a female head wearing a flat crown on the obverse and an eagle standing on a thunderbolt (sometimes alongside a club) on the reverse are discussed. A coin belonging to this group was published by Meshorer and Qedar in 1999 and tentatively attributed to Samaria.2 This uncertain attribution is revisited considering new specimens documented as part of the “Corpus of Samarian Coinage” project. The suggested attribution is analyzed against competing attributions to Phoenicia (Tyre), Cyprus (Paphos), Cilicia (uncertain mint) and Manbog/Hierapolis-Bambyke (Syria) considering the relevant numismatic, historical, and archaeological sources. It is concluded that these coin types were most probably minted in Samaria after the Macedonian conquest and should be dated to the reign of Ptolemy I. Since no such coin types are known from controlled archaeological provenances, it is suggested that this likely attribution should, however, remain uncertain. Methodologically, case by case, cross-regional, traditional numismatic analysis, still offers the best available tool for the study of such uncertain attributions.
An Unknown Coin of Castor of Galatia and a Possible New Dating of Deiotarus’ Coins with a Monogram of His Name
Authors: Awianowicz Bartosz
Published: December 2024

The paper presents a hitherto unpublished bronze small Galatian coin with the Greek monogram of the name Castor on the reverse (gen. KAΣΤOPOΣ), typologically very close to the small bronzes (denomination C according to Hoover’s division) of King Deiotarus of Galatia HGC 7, 776 = SNG von Aulock 6101; SNG France 3, 2332. It seems more likely that the coin published here was struck for Castor, grandson of Deiotarus, who became king of Galatia (and Paphlagonia) after the death of his grandfather in 40 BC, than for Castor Tancondarius, tetrarch of Tectosages in 63/2–43 BC, son-in-law of Deiotarus and father of the younger Castor. This attribution also alters the dating of the type HGC 7, 776, which was probably struck between 44 and 40 BC.

Ulrich Werz (January 15, 1964 – June 14, 2023)
Authors: Werz Claire Franklin
Published: December 2024

Ulrich Werz, who died on 14th June 2023 at the age of 59, was well known in Germany and beyond for his work on Roman countermarks, and later, for his analyses of coin finds and contributions to the new research area of digital numismatics. Born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1964, he studied Classical Archaeology, Ancient History and Archaeology of Asia Minor at the Georg August University in Göttingen. He then attended the Goethe Universität in Frankfurt am Main where he turned to numismatics, writing a masters’ thesis on depictions of Aphrodite on Roman Provincial coins in Asia Minor. From 1996 Werz worked on his doctoral study concerning the countermarks on Roman bronze coins of the early Roman Empire in the Rhine area under the supervision of Hans-Markus von Kaenel. The resulting dissertation, Gegenstempel auf Aesprägungen der frühen römischen Kaiserzeit im Rheingebiet: Grundlagen, Systematik, Typologie was published in Winterthur in 2009 and included more than 12,100 countermarks. Werz travelled widely to collect material for his study and made thousands of plaster casts.

Authors: Iwelu Augusta O. , Ossai Moses C.
Published: December 2024

The study investigated sexual behaviours and reproductive health issues among students in tertiary institutions in Delta State, and discussed their counselling implications. It addressed some relationship issues that confront students at the tertiary education level which include awareness about prventive measures against sexually transmitted infections among sexually active students; young girls resorting to unsafe abortion; high level of sexual abuse and rape; and some female students engaging in part-time prostitution, among others. The study's population consisted of 14,650 first-year students in higher educational institutions in Delta State of Nigeria. Based on willingness to participate, a purposeful sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 3,490 students. A questionnaire on Sexual Behaviour and Reproductive Health Issues (SEBARHI) was developed by the authors and used to collect data on Sexual Behaviour and Reproductive Issues among the students. Data collected was analyzed with descriptive statistics and it was found that a considerable number of undergraduates in the area of study engage in risky sexual behaviour and also demonstrated ignorance of safe reproductive health practices. More female students reported indulging in homosexuality, bisexuality, anal sex, masturbation and threesome sex, amongst others.

Published: December 2024

In an increasingly digital era, companies must adapt quickly to remain competitive in a competitive global market. Digital capability, which is the organization's ability to utilize digital technology in all aspects of its operations, is the main key in achieving competitive advantage. This study aims to analyze the effect of digital capability on supply chain innovation performance through digital innovation in manufacturing companies in Bogor. The method used is a quantitative approach with a survey using a questionnaire evaluated by a panel of experts. Data were collected from 140 respondents of manufacturing companies in Bogor and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS software. The results showed that digital capability has no significant influence on supply chain innovation performance (p-value 0.380 > 0.05). Meanwhile, digital capability has a significant positive influence on digital innovation (p-value 0.033 < 0.05). On the other hand, digital innovation has no significant impact on supply chain innovation performance (p-value 0.484 > 0.05), and digital capability also has no significant effect on supply chain innovation performance through digital innovation based on the mediation flow of direct and indirect (p-value 0.421 > 0.05). The conclusion of this study is that although digital capability can drive digital innovation, it does not necessarily improve supply chain innovation performance directly. Suggestions for future research are to involve more companies from various locations and use mixed quantitative-qualitative research methods to increase validity and in-depth understanding. In addition, there is a need to explore other factors that may affect supply chain innovation performance to strengthen digital capability and digital innovation strategies in manufacturing companies.

This study investigates the perceptions of Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) in Indonesian companies regarding earnings quality and the factors influencing their reporting decisions. It aims to explore the implications of these perceptions for stakeholders, including investors and standard setters. Employing qualitative methodologies, the research collects data through in-depth interviews and surveys administered to CFOs across various sectors in Indonesia. The study examines the relationship between earnings quality and institutional ownership, credit ratings, and the professional backgrounds of CFOs. The findings reveal that nearly 95% of CFOs perceive earnings as critical for investors in valuing companies, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and the absence of one-time items as key attributes of high-quality earnings. Additionally, a significant correlation exists between institutional ownership and earnings quality, while CFOs with public accounting backgrounds report higher perceptions of earnings quality compared to their counterparts. The study highlights that firms with higher credit ratings tend to demonstrate greater earnings quality. The results underscore the importance of transparent and reliable financial reporting practices for CFOs, suggesting a need for improved accounting standards that address the complexities of earnings quality. Investors are encouraged to consider the sustainability of earnings when making investment decisions. This research contributes to the understanding of earnings quality in emerging markets, specifically within the context of Indonesian corporate governance. It bridges the gap between academic theories and practical insights from financial executives, offering valuable implications for future research and policy development.
