Authors: Al-Msiedeen Jebreel Mohammad , Alshurafat Hashem , Shbeilat Mohammad K. , Al Maani Abdullah Majed , Alroud Lubna Khaled
Published: February 2024

This study provides a comprehensive view of the current practice of corporate governance (CG) in the emerging market, with a specific focus on Jordan. By using archival data, namely the academic literature, reports published by the main institutions, and financial reports published by listed companies, this study addresses the roles explored of main institutional forces, firms’ characteristics, financial markets, and the Jordanian economic environment in reinforcing the current practices of CG in Jordan. Although Jordan aims for institutional development to reinforce practices toward consistency with international CG best practices, the results of this study show that there is a weak institutional environment, with a seeming lack of some external control instruments. The findings also indicate that unpredictable legal enforcement causes poor compliance by Jordanian companies. Therefore, current CG practices in Jordan are neither adequate nor comprehensive (Mansour et al., 2023). Therefore, the weakness of CG may lead to further financial crises at the company level in Jordan. This study represents the first attempt to explore whether institutional forces are essential to strengthen CG practices in developing nations, and the results of this article can serve as a prototype for other developing economies.
Common ownership and corporate innovation strategy
Authors: Chen Xian , Guha Sanjib , Simu Tahsina Haque
Published: February 2024

It is empirically challenging to test the effect of common ownership on corporate innovation as the observed impact of common ownership on corporate innovation is a net effect due to two offsetting powers: technological spillover and market stealing. This paper tends to mitigate that issue by investigating the impact of common ownership on the strategic features of corporate innovation. We analyze the effect of common ownership on corporate innovation activities using stacked difference-in-differences analyses based on events of financial institutional mergers and acquisitions. We find no significant effect of common ownership on research and development (R&D) expenditures, patent applications, and citations, whereas we find a positive effect of common ownership on exploitative innovation strategy. Our findings suggest that the weak market-stealing effect of exploitative innovation incentivizes common owners to encourage a higher weight of exploitative innovation among innovation outputs. Our study contributes to the current literature in three ways. First, it provides new evidence of the anti-competitive effect of common ownership. Second, it empirically examines competing theoretical predictions of common ownership impacts on corporate innovation. Third, it identifies common ownership as one of the determinants for variations of innovation strategy.

Published: February 2024

There are few reports in literature on the neonatal care of orphaned armadillos under human care. The present note aims to report the hand-rearing, growth, and development of a greater naked-tailed armadillo (Cabassous tatouay) during one year. The animal was received with its eyes still closed at Sorocaba Zoo, Sao Paulo, Brazil. For the first two months, it was fed dog's milk formula. Then, the transition to solid food began, which consisted of dog food, eggs, and fruits. During the process, its growth was monitored through periodic weighing. The animal's good health shows that neonatal care was adequate for the development of C. tatouay.

Authors: Okamura Arasaki Marcelo , Campos de Oliveira Renan , Issberner Panachao Eduardo , Brito Barbosa Rodrigo de , Flores Lizarelli Thales
Published: February 2024

We monitored a stretch of the BR-050 highway in the State of Goias that crosses several natural environments used by the giant armadillo, a peculiar and endangered species whose survival is threatened by vehicle collisions. Here, we present the record of highway underpass use by Priodontes maximus in a fragmented Cerrado landscape in Ipameri, Goias. The finding confirms the use of highway underpasses by the giant armadillo and highlights that these structures should be promoted at points where P. maximus occurs in the habitats isolated by the BR-050.
Aportes al conocimiento del armadillo peludo de nariz larga (Dasypus pilosus)
Authors: Leo Mariella
Published: February 2024

The hairy long-nosed armadillo (Dasypus pilosus) is the least known of the five armadillo species reported for Peru. This species is endemic to the montane forests of northeastern Peru. During a wildlife inventory in Rio Abiseo National Park, eight specimens were collected in montane forest or low montane forest. Stomach content analyses show that they are opportunistic insectivores that feed mainly on larvae living underground or forming colonies. The most commonly consumed species (adults and larvae) were hymenopterans, lepidopterans, and coleopterans. In addition, previous species records were reviewed. Their analysis suggests that D. pilosus may use grasslands near the forest edge and those in the jalca, and that it is present in conservation areas of San Martin, Amazonas and Cajamarca. Effective conservation of D. pilosus requires a better understanding of the basic aspects of its biology and ecology.
Auditors’ and Tax Specialists’ Interprofessional Collaboration during Audit Engagements: Implications for Audit Production and Audit Quality
Authors: Hux Candice T. , Andiola Lindsay M. , Noga Tracy J.
Published: February 2024

Tax specialists are often part of interprofessional teams that conduct financial statement audits, yet little is documented about their role and collaboration with auditors during these engagements or their contributions to audit quality. Our interviews with 33 highly experienced audit and tax professionals reveal variation in tax specialists’ roles during audits. Further, we find that auditors and tax specialists perceive a greater need for interdependence of expertise, particularly across different types of tax experts, due to increased tax specialization and global tax complexity. However, our interviewees acknowledge that power dynamics and differing attitudes toward shared goals and partnership affect the collaboration process. Interviewees also report instances where ineffective collaboration impacted audit quality. Collectively, we document how auditor and tax specialists’ collaboration (or lack of) influences both audit production and quality, providing insight for practice, regulators, and research regarding tax specialists’ audit involvement and extending the interprofessional collaboration literature to accounting.

The Joint Effect of Justification and Ambiguity on Operating Decision Distortion
Authors: Qu Hong , Ackert Lucy F. , Hermanson Dana R. , Popova Velina K.
Published: February 2024

We examine the interactive effect of justification and ambiguity on the tendency to distort operating decisions in an incentivized experiment. Managers decide whether to drop or keep a project on behalf of the owners. Although dropping the project always leads to higher payoffs for managers, keeping the project leads to higher payoffs to the owners for projects with good future outcomes. Dropping a project with good future prospects is akin to real earnings management (REM), such as cutting R&D to meet bonus targets. We find that justification increases REM when project outcomes are ambiguous but has no effect when the distribution of project outcomes is known. Ambiguity gives flexibility for managers to craft a plausible justification for dropping the project that appears accountable to the owners. The opportunity for impression management makes selfish actions more attractive to managers because it helps to promote a positive social image.
Understanding the Burden of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Time for Action
Authors: Younossi Zobair M. , Henry Linda
Published: February 2024

The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the United States is 38%, having increased by 50% within the past 3 decades. The estimated NAFLD prevalence among people with type 2 diabetes is 55–70%. The presence of type 2 diabetes is associated with a higher likelihood of progression of NAFLD to fibrosis development, liver transplant, and death. Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality among people with NAFLD, and the risk of death is significantly higher in people with both NAFLD and type 2 diabetes. NAFLD carries high patient and economic burdens but low awareness among both the general public and health care providers. This article reviews the epidemiology of NAFLD and discusses the need for appropriate risk stratification, referral for specialty care, management of cardiometabolic risk factors, and treatment of the disease. The authors present a call to action to raise awareness of NAFLD and address its increasing burden in a systematic and efficient manner.
Pharmacological Approaches to Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Current and Future Therapies
Authors: Genua Idoia , Cusi Kenneth
Published: February 2024

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more severe form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), can promote the development of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Similarly, type 2 diabetes confers the greatest risk for the development of NASH, especially when associated with obesity. Although lifestyle changes are critical to success, early implementation of pharmacological treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes are essential to treat NASH and avoid disease progression. This article reviews current guidance regarding the use of pharmacological agents such as pioglitazone, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in the setting of NAFLD and NASH. It also reviews the latest information on new drugs currently being investigated for the treatment of NASH.
Making Sense of the Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Clinical Practice Guidelines: What Clinicians Need to Know
Authors: Cusi Kenneth , Budd Jeff , Johnson Eric , Shubrook Jay
Published: February 2024

Standards of care summarized in clinical practice guidelines for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) offer clinicians a streamlined diagnostic and management approach based on the best available evidence. These recommendations have changed a great deal in recent years; today, there is a clear focus on screening for the early identification and risk stratification of patients at high risk of steatohepatitis and clinically significant fibrosis to promote timely referrals to specialty care when needed. This article reviews and provides the rationale for current guidelines for NAFLD screening, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring and addresses barriers to providing evidence-based NAFLD care and how to overcome them. The current paradigm of care calls for primary care clinicians and specialists to work together, within a multidisciplinary care team familiar with obesity and diabetes care, to provide comprehensive management of these complex patients.
Pragmatic Progress and the Improvement of Medical Knowledge for Global Health
Authors: Fernández Pinto Manuela
Published: February 2024

The paper presents an epistemological argument on the crisis in medical knowledge today, first identifying a fundamental problem of the crisis, i.e., the epistemic gap, and then introducing the concept of pragmatic progress as a tool for understanding what is needed for pharmaceutical research to solve pressing epistemic and public health problems. This (new) analysis can contribute to identifying at least one mechanism needed to close the epistemic gap in current medical knowledge, which in turn could serve as a criterion for filtering current and future proposals. In order to do this, first, I show that the drug market has led to a significant epistemic gap between the knowledge needed to address pressing public health issues and the knowledge produced following the demands of the global market. Second, using the notion of pragmatic progress, I suggest a reading of the crisis in medical knowledge, which emphasizes the problems that clinical research is set to solve. Then I present two alternative ways to restructure medical research to fulfill this aim, illustrating how each can be implemented through real-world examples. The last section addresses a possible objection to the argument and exemplifies how the criterion can be used to filter undesirable proposals.
Triangular Greenness Index Analysis for Monitoring Fungal Disease in Pine Trees: A UAV-based Approach
Authors: Polat Nizar , Memduhoğlu Abdulkadir , Kaya Yunus
Published: February 2024

The Triangular Greenness Index (TGI) is a vegetation index derived from high-resolution aerial images acquired using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It serves as a valuable tool for quantifying vegetation health and dynamics in the visible spectrum. The TGI combines key components, including red reflectance and green reflectance, extracted from UAV-based imagery. The red component represents chlorophyll absorption and photosynthetic activity, while the green component reflects vegetation density and canopy structure. By integrating these components, the TGI offers a comprehensive measure of photosynthetically active vegetation, utilizing UAVs as a data collection platform. This study highlight the importance of the TGI derived from UAV-based imagery in monitoring vegetation changes, assessing ecosystem responses, and tracking variations in land cover and biodiversity. Furthermore, the application of TGI analysis using UAV-based aerial imagery shows promise in accurately identifying and monitoring vegetation affected by fungal diseases. This integrated approach enables the detection of diseased trees based on distinct changes in greenness observed in their foliage. Because fungal diseases dry the plant and cause the green areas to disappear. The integration of UAV technology enhances the accuracy and efficiency of TGI calculation, contributing to effective management and conservation strategies in the context of fungal disease detection in vegetation. In this study, TGI was produced using UAV-based orthophoto and healthy and sick trees were determined. According to the accuracy analysis, producer accuracy for detecting green plants was 99.7% and user accuracy was 98.5%. Fungal disease could be detected with 98.5% producer accuracy and 96.5% user accuracy. The overall accuracy of the study was calculated as 98.6%.
Wyndham Lewis and British Art Rock
Authors: Keller Thomas
Published: February 2024

This study connects the idiosyncratic modernism of Wyndham Lewis, co-founder of the Vorticist art movement, with works of several artists from the British art rock tradition, among them Bryan Ferry, David Bowie, art-punk pioneers Wire and electronic pop musician John Foxx. By taking a transdisciplinary and intermedial approach to texts from two fields normally studied in isolation and staking out the elements of a shared modernist ethos, the book presents a new perspective on both fields relevant to scholars of literature, popular culture, and the visual arts alike. While the book rests on sound research from the fields of literary criticism, art history, and pop theory, the structure and writing of the book is fundamentally designed to be accessible and comprehensible to non-scholarly readers.
Development of the LNG market in the European Union in the context of war Russia-Ukraine
Authors: Pach-Gurgul Agnieszka
Published: February 2024

According to the latest data from the International Energy Agency, global LNG trade increased by almost 6% year-on-year between January and August 2022.  It was dominated by rising demand for the commodity in the European Union. This was driven by sharp cuts in linear gas supplies from Russia, which are linked to the EU's stance of abandoning Russian supplies due to Russia's war with Ukraine, and the subsequent imposition of sanctions by the European Union on Russia. In January-August 2022 alone, LNG imports into the EU increased by as much as 65% (43 bcm) compared to the same period in 2021. Such a significant increase in the supply of LNG to European countries was also made possible by a decline in demand for LNG in the Asia-Pacific region, due to the mild winter, high price levels, and disruptions related to Covid-19 and the aftermath of lockdowns in China. The cut-off of gas supplies from Russia has shown that the LNG market in the EU can play an important role in both the region's energy security and energy transition. In fact, the European Commission treats gas as a blue fuel, much less carbon-intensive than other conventional energy sources such as coal or oil. An additional advantage of LNG is the possibility to transport this fuel from various locations, rapid change of supply directions, and the more extensive possibilities for its storage. For an EU struggling for a stable supply of raw material, pursuing the Green Deal and carrying out an energy transition, this is an option that could become a strategic element in the long term. The research objective of this article is to investigate and analyze how the share of LNG in the EU's energy mix has changed and in what direction it is affecting EU energy security after Russia's aggression in Ukraine.
The importance of border surveillance and border traffic control at the eastern border of the Republic of Poland to the cross-border security of the European Union
Authors: Świerczyńska Jowita
Published: February 2024

The main non-military criterion of border surveillance is border control; due to the geopolitical situation in Ukraine, preceded by the COVID-19 pandemic, the issue of border surveillance with regard to the eastern border of the Republic of Poland, also performing the function of one of the longest sections of the European Union’s external land border, has become extremely important. Therefore, the article aims to point to the importance of border surveillance and border traffic control at the eastern border of the Republic of Poland to the cross-border security of the EU. To achieve this objective, it presents the main characteristics of border control and cross-border security at the external borders of the EU, describes the ‘Polish’ section of the EU’s external land border, indicates the efficiency of control measures taken and identifies the threats and challenges to the protection and surveillance of border traffic. The article is theoretical and partly comparatively analytical in nature. It relies on traditional research methods: deductive reasoning and comparative analysis.
The Feminist Museum Hack: Making a creative disruptive pedagogical, investigative and analytical tool
Authors:   Faculty of Education, University of Victoria, Clover Darlene E. , Sanford Kathy ,   Faculty of Education, University of Victoria
Published: February 2024

How do we illuminate patriarchal ideologies that hide in plain sight in museums and art galleries and still play a powerful active role shaping andmobilising problematic gendered constructions that re-enforce gender and oppression? This question was central to our development of the Feminist Museum Hack, an innovative pedagogical, investigative, analytical and interventionist practice we have designed to use in the complex context of cultural institutions. In this article, we share the various components of the Hack, its aim to strengthen analytical and visual skills and connect disconnects of language and image. The Hack makes a valuable contribution to feminist adult education by enabling us to see the unseen of intrinsic patriarchal ideologies in museums. Further, the Hack works to develop imagination and sharpen an oppositional feminist gaze, giving us a sense of agency with which to disrupt the privileged authority of museums and unearth their problematic discursive, visual and rhetorical politics that have implications for seeing and knowing gender beyond their walls.

Este trabalho discute a entrada de imigrantes na Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) no Brasil e suas implicações para a cultura escolar e as relações de sala de aula. Nossa reflexão parte de um projeto de extensão universitária com foco em práticas de multiletramentos em oficinas de leitura e produção textual escrita e audiovisual realizadas durante dois meses em uma turma de alfabetização da EJA, em uma escola do município de Porto Alegre no sul do Brasil. Apresentamos um panorama histórico da alfabetização de adultos no Brasil, o contexto de inclusão de imigrantes nas escolas municipais de Porto Alegre e, ao final, refletimos sobre nossas experiências em uma sala de aula multicultural e plurilíngue da EJA. Entre outras observações, as conclusões apontam que, tanto na cultura escolar dos imigrantes como dos brasileiros, houve uma equivalência entre a concepção de aprendizagens escolares como práticas pedagógicas tradicionais, acarretando dificuldades de engajamento em atividades de multiletramento. Também observamos que a relação dos imigrantes com a aprendizagem do português nem sempre correspondeao imaginário dos professores e planejadores escolares, extrapolando a perspectiva do déficit linguístico e evidenciando outros modos de participaçãoque prescindem da proficiência na língua oficial.

Prediction of Green Purchase Intention for Electric Vehicles: A Theory of Planned Behavior Approach
Authors: Solekah Nihayatu Aslamatis , Ratnasari Kartika , Hirmawan Ari Prasetyo
Published: February 2024

The campaign to switch to electric vehicles (EVs) has been reinforced to reduce global air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. This study focuses on expanding the theory of planned behavior by adding external factors (charging facilities and vehicle performance) and individual factors (environmental concerns and knowledge), leading to green purchase behavior for electric vehicles. Data were collected from 239 respondents who use electric vehicles in East Java, Indonesia, and analyzed using Smart PLS. The results showed that Attitude, Subjective Norm, Knowledge, and Vehicle Performance affected Green purchase intention for Electric Vehicles (GPIEV). However, environmental concerns and Perceived behavioral control and Charging Facilities did not affect GPIEV. The results imply that attitudes in the form of perceptions about particular behaviors directly contribute to their interest in purchasing electric vehicles.

Research on Innovative Teaching Path of English Literature in Colleges and Universities Based on Multimodal Discourse Analysis
Authors: Wang Yan , Du Hongbo
Published: February 2024

English literature teaching can improve students’ literary literacy and English proficiency. In this paper, we preprocess the English literature teaching data in colleges and universities from the two modalities of visual information and auditory information, extract the features of auditory modality, text modality, and video modality of the classroom respectively, and represent the features using bidirectional long-time memory neural network. A multilayer attention network mechanism is introduced to complete multimodal fusion in English literature teaching and label multimodal features after the extraction is done. On this basis, a student-centered innovative teaching path for English literature in colleges and universities is constructed, and teaching practice and multimodal discourse analysis are carried out to explore its teaching effect. The results show that the length of time used for facial smiles in inefficient classrooms (780.52/s) is significantly more than that in inefficient classrooms (150.22/s), and the length of time used for eye interactions (832.63/s) is significantly more than that in inefficient classrooms (720.44/s), and the length of time used for animations (450.42/s) is significantly more than that in inefficient classrooms (128.88/s), and efficient classrooms are more emphasized on student interactions. Students’ reading and writing abilities were significantly different from those before the practice (P<0.05). This study suggests that promoting innovation in teaching English literature in colleges and universities can have a positive practical significance.

Authors: Zhu Xiaoyang
Published: February 2024

Based on Apriori algorithm and BP neural network technology, this paper deeply integrates association rules and data mining technology in education and informatization management, which provides a new method and a new way of thinking for reforming education management work in the context of intelligent technology. In real-life settings, education management is being managed using this new method. Taking the university district of DN201 as the research object, the allocation level of basic education resources in the university district is measured and optimized in a balanced way through indicator analysis. The parameter settings described allowed for the search of strong correlation rules for the mastery level of students in each course cluster. The results show that SN201 has the highest level of educational resource allocation at 8.32. SN215 is at the lowest level at 2.62. This shows that there is an imbalance in its resource allocation. The coefficient of variation of educational resource allocation of SN217 is 0.83 before optimization, and after optimization, the coefficient of variation is 0.65, and the variation becomes lower. The courses have a higher level of enhanced strong association than 4.

This paper constructs the coupling logic of the two systems of vocational education and cultural tourism with the joint action of external and internal driving forces. It contributes to the coupling of the two systems through the synergistic relationship of same-frequency resonance and applies dimensionless processing to data checking and data cleaning of vocational education data. The coupling coordination development level of vocational education and the cultural tourism industry can be measured using the modified coupling coordination degree model. An empirical study of the coupling coordination degree of vocational education and cultural tourism industry in Province G is conducted using the entropy value method. The results show that the coupling and coordination degree of vocational education and cultural tourism system in province G shows a decreasing trend from 2013 to 2019, and the coupling and coordination degree between the development level of the cultural tourism industry and vocational education gradually rises to 0.658388 in 2022 after 2019, and the interaction between the two is gradually obvious. The integration of industry and vocational education in cultural tourism is promoted by this paper through valuable references and drawable ideas.

Authors: He Yuhong
Published: February 2024

Under the development needs of the times, cultivating students’ ability to master rhythms is crucial to improving the quality of English talent cultivation. The vocal rhythm teaching method is used to establish an optimization model for music teaching in colleges and universities in this paper. In this teaching model, a real-time music beat recognition method combining music styles is proposed based on recurrent neural network and long and short-term memory neural network, and the feature fusion of mutual attention mechanism is utilized to carry out emotion recognition of multimodal music, to accurately control the music learning effect of students. Concerning the effectiveness of the optimization model of music teaching in colleges and universities, it is applied to the teaching practice, and the data are quantitatively analyzed in terms of music recognition ability and teaching effect. The results show that the recognition rate of the multimodal music emotion recognition method for 10 kinds of emotion categories of folk songs reaches up to 0.98, and the mean value of the final music literacy assessment scores of the experimental class after the experiment is increased by 2.89-3.38 points compared with that before the experiment, and the positive classroom mood shows a very significant difference at the level of 5%. The application of the optimization mode of college music teaching based on vocal rhythmic teaching methods in the practical teaching of music courses can cultivate students’ interest in music, help students improve their aesthetic level, and promote their overall development.
Reform of the construction of the professional skills course cluster of musicology in colleges and universities in the context of aesthetic immersion action based on the VAR model

Published: February 2024

In the context of aesthetic education infiltration action, the construction of musicology majors in colleges and universities needs to design diverse teaching contents. This paper analyzes the dynamic impact of the construction of musicology professional skill course clusters with the help of the variable impulse response function of the VAR model and explores the promotional relationship between aesthetic education and music professional literacy. Aiming at the problem that the VAR model cannot reflect the time-varying features and nonlinear features, the TVP-VAP model is used to capture the time-varying features, and at the same time, the Bayesian algorithm is used to calculate the parameters in the model to improve the operation efficiency of the model. After the design was completed and put into practical use, the professional knowledge scores of musicology majors in colleges and universities and students’ aesthetic ability scores in January-October 2023 were selected as databases to establish the TVP-VAR model. When implementing aesthetic education, the response value is 0. From the second month onwards, aesthetic education will have a lasting positive effect and level off, and the response value is around 0.003. The value of the impact effect of students’ professionalism on aesthetic education is 0, which indicates a lag, and shows a gradual upward trend in periods 1-4, with a maximum response value of 0.26. This paper provides a quantitative analysis of the effects of integrating aesthetic education and music and proposes a new direction for reforming the curriculum of the music major.

Authors: Liang Baoran , Liu Ruijuan
Published: February 2024

MA algorithms have received extensive attention from scholars soon after they were proposed, and are rapidly developing in various fields such as the problem of project schedule and the optimal allocation of cloud resources. In this paper, firstly, to address the lack of performance of the ordinary MA algorithm, Kent chaotic mapping is used in the initialization position to improve the initial traversal ability, and Sigmoid function is introduced to optimize the step-size settings in different stages of the crawling process. Different test functions are chosen to compare the efficiency of the solution and verify the performance of the improved MA algorithm. Finally, the improved MA algorithm is applied to allocate human resources in a city called China Mobile and a multi-project environment. Searching for the optimal solution and solving for the optimal value is the strongest performance of the improved MA algorithm compared to the other three algorithms. The human resource balance metrics of a city China Mobile are optimized and the peak human resource demand reaches the project below 120, reducing the waste of resources by about 20 people. In a multi-project environment, where 4 employees perform four different tasks, the optimal solution was found, resulting in an improvement in profitability.
