An assessment of the impacts of inflation on Greek public finances: macroeconomic effects and policy implications
Authors:   Bank of Greece, Lazaretou Sofia , Palaiodimos George ,   Bank of Greece
Published: July 2023

In 2022, the global cost of living surged, pushing already rising global inflation to multi-decade highs. Our empirical analysis assesses the impact of high inflation on Greece’s public finances (in terms of flows), considering the extraordinary economic circumstances arising from the pandemic crisis and the initial phase of the recent energy crisis. To this end, we use a small-scale Bayesian vector autoregressive model for the Greek economy to quantify the effects of an adverse price shock on the primary balance, tax revenue and primary spending (all normalised by nominal GDP), as well as on real output, distinguishing between the effects of a demand- and an external supply-driven shock to inflation. We find that the nature of an inflation shock, i.e. whether it is demand- or supply-driven, is important for correctly identifying the short-to-medium-term effects of inflation shocks on fiscal outcomes.

Introduction

To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in a single surgical stage through a systematic review of the currently available evidence.

Methods

A systematic search of the PubMed and Google Scholar databases, with no publication date limit, until December 2022 was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Follow-up studies and case series published in English involving patients undergoing a combination of ACLR and MAT were included. The quality of these studies was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) checklist. A systematic review of the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), Lysholm and Tegner activity scores was conducted.

Results

Seven studies involving 154 patients were included. The mean follow-up was 5,3 years. The mean age at the time of the surgery was of 35.3 years. All studies used the Lysholm Knee score, IKDC score or Tegner activity score to measure clinical outcomes post-operatively and the mean improvements were 26.7, 24.7, and 1.8 respectively. The rate to return to sport was 75.5 %. No intra-operative complications were reported. The post-operative complication rate was 11.6%.

Conclusions

MAT combined with ACLR procedure showed good clinical results up to an average of 5 years of follow-up. More studies need to be conducted that can better understand the long-term effects of this combined procedure.

Published: July 2023

This manuscript evaluates the utility of Musculoskeletal Oncology (MSK Oncology) fellowship program websites and identifies areas for improvement. This study identified 20 MSK Oncology programs using two public databases, allocated 45 criteria domains into 6 categories, and evaluated each program independently. MSK Oncology programs had limited information (34%) on their websites, particularly under the “People” category. It is recommended that programs include more information about current fellows and their training background, faculty publications, and alumni descriptions. MSK Oncology program websites should contain necessary information for prospective applicants, particularly considering the increased virtual world during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Websites should be more comprehensive for applicants in their process of choosing their preferred programs and submitting their rank order lists.
RESIDUOS TÓXICOS Y CREACIÓN DE COMUNIDAD EN LA PAMPA SOJERA: CONTEXTUALIZANDO NOXA (2016) DE MARÍA INÉS KRIMER
Authors: Codebò Agnese
Published: July 2023

Entre fines del siglo XX y principios del XXI la Argentina fue dejando de ser un país de agricultura diversificada para transformarse en una potencia sojera. Las consecuencias más inmediatas de esta transición fueron el uso masivo de pesticidas, entre los que se destaca el glifosato, la contaminación de la tierra, del aire y de las aguas, la enfermedad y muerte de los habitantes y trabajadores de las zonas sojeras, la corrupción gubernamental, el ocultamiento de la verdad y el enriquecimiento de algunos. La literatura, de ficción y no ficción, se ha encargado en los últimos años de indagar y revelar los efectos nefastos del glifosato sobre el cuerpo humano y el ambiente. En la mayoría de esos textos el residuo tóxico, los desechos de agroquímicos que contaminan el ambiente y ponen en peligro las vidas de quienes los manejan, ocupan un papel central, convirtiéndose en pruebas irrefutables de la peligrosidad de la agricultura intensiva a la vez que catalizadores de las múltiples denuncias en contra de esas prácticas. En este ensayo, luego de presentar la íntima relación que se ha establecido a lo largo de los años entre los residuos y la literatura argentina, examino en específico el funcionamiento del residuo tóxico en Noxa (2016) de María Inés Krimer, una de las novelas de mayor éxito en la representación de los efectos del cultivo intensivo de la soja transgénica. Propongo en estas páginas que los residuos funcionarían no solo como entidad nociva, contaminadora del ambiente y de la salud humana, sino más bien como catalizadores de denuncia, verdad y creación de comunidad.

Published: July 2023

Tanaman jeruk merupakan suatu tanaman yang banyak ditemui di indonesia, salah satu jenis jeruk yang berasal dari Sumatera Utara adalah jenis jeruk keprok brastepu. Jeruk ini memiliki citarasa buah yang manis, warna yang cerah, mengandung vitamin C dan kualitas buah yang bagus. Jenis buah ini merupakan salah satu buah yang sangat banyak dikonsumsi oleh masyarakat, sehingga layak untuk dibudidayakan agar tidak mengalami kepunahan. Pada saat ini permintaan pasar akan buah jeruk ini semakin tahun semakin meningkat sehingga untuk memenuhi permintaan pasar semakin sulit. Penyebab buah ini mengalami kelangkaan yaitu karena proses mempertahankan kualias buah dan panen tidak bertahan dalam jangka waktu yang lama akibat kesalahan dalam penentuan jenis bibit saat awal penanaman jeruk. Saat ini kebanyakan para petani masih awam dan kesulitan dalam menentukan jenis bibit terbaik pada tanaman jeruk keprok brastepu. Kebanyakan para petani saat ini menentukan jenis bibit jeruk hanya dengan asal-asalan sehingga berakibat buruk dalam mempertahankan kualitas buah dan bahkan mengalami kegagalan panen dalam jangka waktu yang lama. Untuk itu perlu diterapkan bidang ilmu sistem pendukung keputusan dengan menggunakan metode PSI (Preference Selection Index) agar dapat membantu petani mengambil keputusan yang tepat, dan bertujuan memberikan solusi yang lebih efisien dan akurat terhadap permasalahan menentukan jenis bibit terbaik pada tanaman jeruk ini. Sistem yang dibangun menggunakan bahasa perprograman berbasis web agar para petani dapat mengakses sistem yang dibuat kapan dan dimana saja.

Coaching education: Wake up to the new digital and AI coaching revolution!
Authors: Passmore Jonathan , Woodward Woody
Published: July 2023

In this article we argue that coach education has been through three distinct phases of development over the past three decades: 1990-2020. These phrases reflect changes in the coaching industry, which itself has seen significant change over the same period. These phases include ‘pre-profession’, reflected in ad hoc and non-qualification based training, ‘practice based professionalisation’, which saw a growth in small scale coach providers using professional body competencies, and ‘evidenced-based professionalisation’, which stimulated the growth in university based coach education programmes focused on evidenced based and research informed training. We argue that as we enter the Mid 2020’s we are witnessing a new shift in the coaching industry from ‘professionalisation’ to ‘productization’, with the emergence of large scale, digitally enabled, coaching providers. These new providers employ thousands of home working coaches and are focused on delivering coaching at scale to tens of thousands of workers in enterprise size organisations using digital channels. This industrial change calls for a need to rethink and modernise coach education. We must acknowledge the shift towards the management of industrial scale delivery and the focus on data, alongside a movement towards mastery of the technologies which have enabled coaches to work globally. We conclude by suggesting coach education should offer two new career pathways: one for those commissioning and managing coaching services and a second for those working in digital coaching firms in coaching service management, in roles such as Customer Success and Coach Relations, alongside a revitalised coach training which equips coaches to operate in digital environments through a mastery of the communication platforms, tools and apps which they employ and a deeper understanding of new technologies such as AI, VR and MR.
The role of supervisor cultural intelligence in the feedback process
Authors: Reynolds Mara L. , Warren Catherine , Deepak Pratibha , Steelman Lisa A.
Published: July 2023

Introduction

Supervisors are often asked to coach and mentor employees, and while research on supervisor coaching capability is not new, cross-cultural factors in coaching are understudied. As the workplace becomes more diverse, supervisor cultural intelligence, the capability to function effectively in culturally diverse settings, is becoming more critical.

Method

The current study examined the role of supervisor cultural intelligence in the feedback process through a cross-sectional study with participants from the United States and India.

Results

Results revealed that supervisor cultural intelligence was associated with a more favorable feedback environment, trust in the supervisor, an improved coaching relationship between the supervisor and subordinate, and greater subordinate feedback seeking frequency. Cultural tightness – looseness was a moderator, such that there was a stronger relationship between supervisor cultural intelligence and the feedback environment in cultures perceived to be looser (higher tolerance for deviation from social norms and deviation less rigorously enforced in general) compared to cultures perceived to be tighter (low tolerance for deviations from social norms and deviation more rigorously enforced).

Discussion

Results suggest that cultural intelligence can facilitate supervisors in developing a constructive feedback environment that fosters trust and meaningful coaching relationships, especially in cultures that are perceived to be looser where there is potentially more behavioral flexibility.

Conclusion

Supervisors can leverage cultural intelligence to better foster a quality feedback environment and navigate coaching relationships with diverse employees.

Published: July 2023

The goal of this study is to examine how political stability impacts Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Political stability is a crucial factor in a country's economic development, because it can affect the investment climate, economic growth, and people's welfare. The Central Bureau of Statistics and other relevant organizations' secondary data were used as secondary data sources in this study's qualitative descriptive analysis of the literature. The data collected covers a specific relevant time period and includes indicators of political stability and GDP. The results of the analysis show that political stability has a significant influence on GDP in Indonesia. High political stability tends to create conditions conducive to sustainable economic growth. This is reflected in increased investment, expansion of the industrial sector, and increase in national income. In the Indonesian context, good political stability can increase investor confidence, both domestic and foreign, to invest in various economic sectors. In addition, political stability also provides legal certainty and consistent policies, which help create a favorable investment climate. The government needs to maintain political stability through actions that promote inclusive political participation, fair law enforcement, and consistent and transparent policies. These efforts will strengthen investor confidence, stimulate investment, and promote sustainable economic growth.

Language problems with phobia terms and LGBTQIA+ prejudices using the example of homophobia
Authors: Borkens Yannick , Exner Amelie
Published: July 2023

Communication is an elementary component of human coexistence. Thanks to our language, we can formulate thoughts and ideas and pass them on to others. However, with this also comes a certain responsibility. This article describes the concept of homophobia. For example, the UEFA Euro 2020 was minting by politics and protests about LGBTQIA+ rights as well as racism. There were both pro and contra protests and the concept of homophobia emerged as a big issue. That should be reason enough to revisit the term itself. The aim of this article is to explain why the term is already a problem in itself. The article reflects the opinion of the authors and are intended to simulate discussions.

Authors: Ozogu N A , Chukwurah N C , Modebe L U , Olabimtan O H
Published: July 2023

Produced water is considered the largest waste stream generated in the oil and gas industries, which has a high concentration of hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other pollutants. As the activity in the industries increases, the generated produced water has also increased worldwide. Therefore, treating it for reusing becomes very important from an environmental point of view. This paper aims to examine the importance of produced water treatment, the capacity of produced water as well as management, the reuse of oilfield-produced water, and some of the current methods available for produced water treatment. Production water treatment could be achieved with different processes or methods including physical, chemical, and biological approaches. The physical method usually involves filtration systems that uses screens, sand, etc to eliminate large suspended materials. The chemical method is a process of decreasing the harmful nature of an effluent by using some particular chemical. It also helps to recover appreciated by-products from harmful wastes, which reduces the general cost of waste disposal. While the biological method is to degrade organic compounds that are existing in the waste by microorganisms (aerobic and/or anaerobic). Raw-produced water is toxic, by using suitable technology, it can be treated for different reuse even as drinking water, especially for countries that suffer from water scarcity.

The researcher employed closed-ended questions from a questionnaire in order to gather information about the students' literary reading experiences. A variety of statistical tools were used to analyze the data. The study's outcomes (Mean=3.63) show that Iraqi students' experiences and attitudes were accepted to a full degree as a result of reading literary texts. According to the results of a survey on the cultural experiences and personal information through reading literature, the majority of Iraqi students have favorable attitudes and positive perceptions toward reading literature. The majority of students choose literary texts over non-literary ones when reflecting on their own experiences, attitudes, or observations, as well as on past experiences, present needs, and connections to the text's ideas.

Authors: Puranik Akash
Published: July 2023

Exploratory testing is a dynamic and iterative method to software testing that emphasizes concurrent learning, test design, and execution. Exploratory testing, as opposed to typical scripted testing approaches, prioritizes tester expertise and creativity in order to identify hidden software faults. This paper delves further into the concept of exploratory testing, including its foundations, benefits, and obstacles. It also explores recommended practices for adopting exploratory testing in software development processes and emphasizes its significance in improving software quality. Organizations can enhance their software quality and find faults that might otherwise go undetected by using this dynamic technique.

Higher Education Institutions contribute to solving social problems through the generation and dissemination of knowledge. This study aims to reflect on the dialectical relationship between research and research culture in the 21st Century university, based on its current state at the University of El Salvador. For this purpose, qualitative research was conducted from the interpretative paradigm. The theoretical methods employed were historical-logical, analytical-synthetic, and inductive-deductive. Empirically, a documentary analysis was carried out to collect information, followed by a triangulation of sources and documents to compare the results, identify common elements, reflect, and analyze based on the inferences made. The findings revealed that the research culture of the university is consolidated through the scientific activity it is capable of promoting to fulfill the social mission of universities. Therefore, to the extent that there are incentives outlined in university regulations to encourage research and their compliance is monitored among faculty and students, the research culture can be strengthened, and the scientific output of higher education institutions can increase.

Las instituciones de educación superior contribuyen a la solución de los problemas sociales mediante la generación y socialización del conocimiento. El presente estudio tuvo por fin reflexionar acerca de la relación dialéctica entre la investigación y la cultura investigativa en la universidad del siglo XXI, a partir de su estado actual en la Universidad de El Salvador. Para ello, se desarrolló una investigación cualitativa desde el paradigma interpretativo. Los métodos teóricos empleados fueron el histórico-lógico, el analítico-sintético y el inductivo-deductivo. Desde el punto de vista empírico, se realizó un análisis documental para la recolección de la información y, posteriormente, se hizo una triangulación de fuentes y documentos para contrastar los resultados, identificar los elementos coincidentes, reflexionar y analizar desde las inferencias realizadas. Los resultados evidenciaron que, la cultura investigativa de la universidad se consolida en la propia actividad científica que esta sea capaz de impulsar para cumplir con el encargo social de las universidades. Por lo tanto, en la medida que existan incentivos plasmados en las normativas universitarias para incentivar la investigación, y se controle su cumplimiento en los docentes y estudiantes, se podrá consolidar la cultura investigativa e incrementar la producción científica de las instituciones de educación superior.
A formação do professor crítico-reflexivo: uma análise das produções científicas da CAPES nos últimos 10 anos

Published: July 2023

No presente texto, trazemos a formação do professor crítico-reflexivo a partir de uma revisão da literatura realizada nas teses de doutorado dos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação. Tendo em vista a complexidade que é a formação do professor e a necessidade de uma formação que dê conta de compreender o processo educativo de forma emancipatória, questionamos: Que significados essas produções científicas atribuem à formação do professor crítico-reflexivo? Desse modo, objetivamos nessa pesquisa analisar os significados dessa formação, bem como visualizar como a temática vem sendo discutida no âmbito das produções científicas no país. Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica com autores que discutem o professor crítico-reflexivo, as críticas e as possibilidades dessa formação. Finalmente, após a leitura e análise das teses compreendemos que a formação do professor reflexivo só é possível quando se considera o contexto histórico e social, trazendo as teorias da educação para essa reflexão, onde a práxis é a mola propulsora para a transformação da realidade.

As Indicações Geográficas são um tipo de proteção de propriedade industrial para produtos ou serviços, originários de determinada área geográfica, que se tornaram conhecidos através da qualidade ou reputação relacionada a sua forma de extração, produção ou fabricação. São importantes ferramentas para promoção de valorização com base no diferencial, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento local, estímulo ao turismo, ao desenvolvimento da cadeia produtiva. Em paralelo a sua capacidade ser um catalizador do desenvolvimento local, as IGs possuem desafios a superar no Brasil, dentre eles, a necessidade de organização do negócio para a geração de valor. Esse estudo constitui-se de revisão de literatura sobre Modelos de Negócio, com objetivo de apresentar características do Modelo de Negócio para organizações gestoras de Indicações Geográficas. As organizações poderão utilizar metodologia do CANVAS durante o processo de reconhecimento da IG, para auxílio na estratégia de valorização do produto.

O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar teores de Ph da água, Cálcio (Ca), Magnésio (Mg), Alumínio (Al), Cobre (Cu) e Zinco (Zn) em áreas agrícolas que recebem dejetos suínos e de aves de corte em um município do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), sendo os teores analisados obtidos através de análises laboratoriais recebidas pela Secretaria de Meio Ambiente do município para fins de licenciamento ambiental. Objetivou-se avaliar as características físico-químicas de solos com aplicação de dejetos de suínos e aves em um Município da Região Celeiro. Para tanto, foram analisados 15 diferentes laudos laboratoriais de áreas que recebem dejetos de suínos e 02 laudos laboratoriais de áreas que recebem dejetos de aves de corte. Objetivou-se também analisar a correlação dos valores encontrados com valores de referência de qualidade do solo (VRQ’s) estipulados pela legislação ambiental vigente e manuais de calagem e correções do solo do estado do RS. Observou-se que a característica geral das áreas que recebem dejetos suínos é de solos ácidos, sendo necessária a correção do solo com técnicas adequadas de correção e calagem. Após análise dos dados obtidos, pode-se observar que os elementos de pH, cálcio (Ca), magnésio (Mg), alumínio (Al), cobre (Cu) e zinco (Zn) encontrados nos solos que receberam os dejetos não estavam de acordo com os valores de referência de qualidade do solo, apontando a contaminação ambiental por níveis equivocados dos elementos. Concluiu-se que a maioria dos solos apresentam níveis de acidez e teores de micronutrientes com valores acima dos estipulados pela legislação ambiental vigente e manual de adubação e calagem. Isso pode acarretar condições desfavoráveis para a produção nas áreas em questão, além da contaminação ambiental pelo excesso dos elementos químicos no solo.
