Authors: Ulya Nia Afifatul , Esti Rahayu Heni Setyowati , Pribadi Prasojo
Published: November 2022

Jeruju plant has some benefits in reducing symptoms of a particular disease. However, there is little discussion about plants in nursing. Therefore, the literature review aims to identify the effectiveness of Jeruju plant extract as an anti-inflammatory. The method used is a literature review integrating electronic databases such as Google Scholar and ScienceDirect. The keywords used in Indonesian are "Acanthus ilicifolius as anti-inflammatory," and the keywords in English are "Acanthus ilicifolius AS anti-inflammatory." The Jeruju plant (Acanthus ilicifolius) contains flavonoids acting as an anti-inflammatory. Flavanoids help to reduce the inflammation in the disease. The clinical nurse may use the finding of this review for health promotion for the patient with chronic illness.

Published: November 2022

Relevance. In a pandemic, studies on the duration of immunity in those who have recovered from COVID-19 and the formation of resistance to a new coronavirus infection are of particular importance.

Target. To study the retention time of IgG in the blood serum of employees of a medical institution who recovered from a new coronavirus infection COVID-19.

Materials and methods. The assessment of the timing of the formation of IgG was first carried out 3 weeks after the illness in employees of The National Medical Research Center for Otorhinolaryngology from April 2020 to December 2020. Further, the intervals for blood sampling to study the dynamics of antibodies to coronavirus infection were 3–4 weeks (9 blood samples for each ). Antibodies were examined by ELISA; immunological method for determining IgG (test system – "Vector Best", semi-quantitative analysis). Statistical processing of the study results was carried out using the SPSS-22 statistical software package and the OpenEpiver statistical calculator. 3.

Results and discussion. The proportion of employees of a medical institution who recovered from COVID-19 was 39%, among them persons aged 36 to 55 years prevailed. It was found that class G immunoglobulins persist from seven months or more in 56.3% of those participating in the observation (the positivity coefficient is much higher than 1.2), in about 12.7% of those who had been ill, IgG in the blood serum persisted for about six months, in 11, 3% about three months. There were no statistically significant differences in the duration of immunity between men and women.

Conclusion. A statistically significant direct relationship was found between age and the duration of immunity.
Recent trends in crop breeding, the varietal induction in seed chain and its impact on food grain production in India
Authors: Singh Kunwar Harendra , Chauhan J. S. , Choudhury P. R. , Thakur Ajay Kumar
Published: November 2022

Food grains in India achieved an all-time high production (310.74 mt) during 2020-21. Varietal and seed replacement rates played an important role in achieving this milestone. A total of 1646 varieties of food crops comprising 1273 of cereals and 373 of pulses were released from 2011 to 2022. Of these 977 varieties consisting of cereals (667) and pulses (310) have been inducted into the seed chain during 2020-21. New breeding technonologies such as bio-fortification of food crops and marker-assisted breeding were applied to improve crop varieties with respect to specific desirable traits. A total of 65 bio-fortified varieties comprising rice (8), wheat (28), maize (14), pearl millet (9), finger millet (3), little millet (1) and lentil (2) have been released with improved levels of proteins, essential amino acids (lysine, tryptophan), vitamins (pro-vitamin A) and micro/macro-nutrients (zinc, iron, calcium). Marker-assisted breeding adopting foreground and background selections with targeted gene(s) utilizing molecular markers such as RFLPs, SSRs, CAPs, STS and INDEL resulted in to the development and release of 66 cultivars comprising rice (43), wheat (5), maize (10), pearl millet (2) and chickpea (6) with one/and or combination of traits such as tolerance to biotic/abiotic stresses, herbicide tolerance, nutrient use efficiency, earliness, nutritional and other quality traits. These non-genetically modified crop varieties are expected to play vital role in achieving food and nutrition security in India. The paper also provides insight in to the maintenance breeding of food crops. The analysis of seed requirement and availability during 2010-11 to 2020-21 revealed that seed requirements for cereals and pulses have increased consistently by 31.6% and 62.3%, from 186.8 to 245.8 lakh q and 22.3 to 36.2 lakh q, respectively. The production of rice, wheat, maize, pearl millet and pulses during 2020-21 increased over that of 2010-11 by 27.4%, 26.0%, 45.2%, 4.4% and 41.3%, respectively. The productivity of sorghum was higher by 18.9% over that of 2010-11 but production decreased by 31.7% on account of a reduction in acreage by 42.5% during the corresponding period. The net per capita availability of food grains increased, by 17.2% from 159.5 kg to 187.0 kg during this period. The cereals and pulses production needs to be up-scaled by 5.3% and 24.4% to meet the demand by 2030 from 285.28 mt and 25.46 mt, respectively, in 2020-21, with almost the similar acreage, degrading and depleting natural resources, thus, requiring a greater focus on enhancing yield/ha. Crop-specific breeding programmes should be accelerated with the adoption of new technologies like GM, gene editing, marker-assisted selection and speed breeding to address the challenges of climate change and degrading natural sources.

The Covid-19 pandemic based on Presidential Decree Number 12 of 2020 was declaredon April 13, 2020. During this Pandemic, many companies offer their shares to the public or known as Initial Public Offering (IPO). This study aims to find out the highest abnormal returns of the issuers' stock after the IPO during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The sample used in this study was 70 companies that IPO on the IDXafter pandemic status was declared in Indonesia, namely from April 15, 2020-November 25, 2021. This research is a descriptive quantitative research anddescriptive statistical analysis techniques was used to calculate abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns of each stock. The results showed that cumulatively, the highest abnormal return of 70 stocks within 20 months was owned by TECH shares in the technology sector with a cumulative abnormal return value of 23,562. Meanwhile, the lowest value is owned by DEPO shares in the consumer cyclicals sector with a cumulative abnormal return of 0.624. The results of this study can be used as considerationby investors who want to invest in IPO stocks during prolonged outbreaks such as the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Biodiversity in the Late Middle Ages: Wild Birds in the Fourteenth-Century County of Holland
Authors: GOVAERTS SANDER
Published: November 2022

This article provides a preliminary overview of the species of wild birds that lived in the fourteenth-century County of Holland, now the Netherlands, on the basis of archaeological and historical sources. It argues that scholars should devote more attention to the Late Middle Ages (1300–1500) as a historical baseline for the study of biodiversity, and demonstrates the value of using medieval financial administration (accounts) as a source for such research. The article identifies 46 species of birds, most of which had substantial socio-economic value (birds of prey, wildfowl, herons and spoonbills). Because some bird populations were actively managed to secure a steady supply, it is possible to gain insight into historical population dynamics. This study can also serve as an example in designing similar research on other species and geographical regions.
Euboean towers and Aegean powers: insights into the Karystia’s role in the ancient world
Authors: Gardner Chelsea A. M. , Seifried Rebecca M.
Published: November 2022

The Karystia, a region of southern Euboea directly across from the Attic mainland, features two peninsulas that are dry and agriculturally poor compared to the fertile plains found elsewhere in the region and on the island (Figure 1). Despite the aridity of this area, however, an unusual pattern of human activity was revealed during archaeological investigation and extensive survey carried out in the 1980s and the 1990s. The Paximadi peninsula was first explored by Donald Keller during his dissertation research between 1979–1981, and between 1986–1993 the Southern Euboea Exploration Project (SEEP) continued work on both the Paximadi and the Bouros-Kastri peninsulas. These surveys recorded a dispersed settlement pattern of single farmsteads, along with an exceptionally high number of tower structures on the two peninsulas that flank ancient Karystos­­—a site now identified with the modern town of Paliochora (Figure 2). The majority of the towers date to the Classical period, though others range from the Archaic through Ottoman periods. At present, only the towers of Paximadi have been published, so their connections with those of Bouros-Kastri and with the broader Aegean have yet to be fully elucidated. This paper reviews different explanations for the unusually high density of Classical-period towers in this region, contextualizes the towers within the period of classical antiquity to which they are most likely to belong (the 5th century BC), and presents a new interpretation of nearly three-decade-old data that underscores the importance of the Karystia in the ancient Aegean.
The nature of early Greek coinage – the case of Sicily
Authors: Rutter Keith
Published: November 2022

Coins were made and circulated in their millions in the ancient world. By common consent they are part of the evidence for the reconstruction of ancient history of all kinds, economic, artistic, religious, political. But how can the evidence provided by coins best be exploited? In a recent article, I suggested that it is on the basis of ‘detailed work on the numismatic material, on the structure and volume of different coinages, on the ‘rhythms’ and rates of production, that we can expect worthwhile contributions to debates about the impact (revolutionary?) of coinage in the Greek world, the speed and degree to which parts of it were monetized (rapid and total?), and the organized development of a market economy (buying and selling in the agora?).’ In the present paper I take up that challenge by examining in detail the earliest coinage in one part of the Greek world, the island of Sicily. What can it tell us about the nature and impact of early Greek coinage?
Thibault Girard. L’oblique dans le monde grec. Concept et imagerie
Authors: Rodríguez Pérez Diana
Published: November 2022

Concepts such as oblique, vertical or horizontal are so rooted in our daily vocabulary that an explanation of the terms seems superfluous, for these are—or so we think—rather evident and unequivocal words that serve to define a state or a quality. Nevertheless, as the book under review elucidates, the reality is that for ancient Greeks these concepts were not as neatly defined as they are for us today, and that ancient Greek even lacks the words which would unequivocally correspond to our notions of oblique, vertical, and horizontal.
David Stuttard. Greek mythology: a traveller’s guide from Mount Olympus to Troy
Authors: Vos Gary
Published: November 2022

Is there anything new to be said about classical mythology? Recent decades have seen a flurry of encyclopaedias, overviews of and introductions to the subject, and monographs on specific figures or themes. Any author wishing to enter the fray must, I imagine, suppress some queasiness at such competition. Not so David Stuttard (hereafter ‘S.’). S.’s book is of a very different kind and is perhaps best described as a Pausanias for our times. S. is a gifted and prolific populariser of Classics, renowned for (co)authoring and editing over a dozen books on various aspects of Classical civilization and producing a further dozen translations, half a dozen adaptations, and many a staging of Greek dramas. Greek Mythology is a perfect addition to his oeuvre. The dust jacket promises that this book is ‘[t]he perfect companion to the Greek myths and the landscapes and ideas that shaped them.’ As the introduction (12–13) and dust jacket freely admit, it is aimed at real and armchair travellers alike (the quality of the cover suggests the second category is the majority of the envisioned readership). While not written for the specialist, the book may be of interest to (armchair) scholars as well.
Revisiting the ‘Slipper Slapper’ and other sculpture dedications in the clubhouse of the Poseidoniasts of Beirut
Authors: Martin S. Rebecca
Published: November 2022

In 1904 a team led by French archaeologist Marcel Bulard discovered a sculptural group on the island of Delos in a building owned by businessmen from the Phoenician city of Beirut (Figures 1–6; Map 1). This work, now known as the ‘Sandal Slapper’ or ‘Slipper Slapper’, dates to c. 100 BCE. It shows Aphrodite holding up one of her sandals, Pan holding onto to her, and Aphrodite’s son Eros flying overhead. The group’s goddess is a quotation of the now-lost, late-Classical Aphrodite of Knidos by Praxiteles (fl. 364/361 BCE). In its preliminary publication, Bulard described the work: ‘Le groupe représente Aphrodite, se défendant avec l’aide d’Éros contre les entreprises de Pan.’ This interpretation of the group’s narrative – a bawdy scene in which Aphrodite brandishes her sandal at Pan’s sexual advances – is now standard.

The materiality of death, the supernatural and the role of women in Late Antique and Byzantine times
Authors: Vionis Athanasios K.
Published: November 2022

Although the association between women, funerary ritual and ‘magic’ in a burial context may initially seem atypical, it should be acknowledged that women have been related to birth and death throughout history. Due to their biological role in giving birth to a new human life, they may also ‘be expected to play a symmetrical role at the end of life’. Different practices related to funerary ritual and the commemoration of the dead, to the use and deposition of ritual artefacts and accompanying materials, are altogether aspects connected to a large extent with women and the domestic sphere. It has to be noted, however, that notions such as ‘religion’, ‘funerary cult’ and ‘magic’ are not always clear-cut, especially throughout Late Antiquity – Early Byzantine era (late 4th–early 8th centuries AD), when religious syncretism, or the accommodation of polytheistic traditions in Christian ideology, was common sense and a subconscious aspect of everyday life.
Archaeological approaches to the Islamic Emirate of Crete (820s-961 CE): a starting point
Authors: Randazzo Matteo G.
Published: November 2022

Located at the crossroads between the Western and Eastern Mediterranean, and a gateway to the Aegean and the Greek world, in its millennia of history the island of Crete has been a cultural bridge between Europe, Africa, and Asia. Birthplace of the Minoan civilisation, Homeric land of ‘one hundred cities’, capital of the Roman province of Cyrenaica, and a core region of the Byzantine Empire from the 5th to the early 9th centuries, between the 820s and 961 Crete became an integral component of the Mediterranean Islamic world, and a key ideological and military frontier (taghr) in the Aegean confrontation between Byzantium and the dar al-Islam.

New observations on the pediments of the early Classical temple of Aphaia on Aegina and on other works by the ‘Aphaia architect’
Authors: Bankel Hansgeorg , Stewart Andrew
Published: November 2022

Over a decade ago, Andrew Stewart revived the question of whether the Persians destroyed the Archaic (or ‘older’) temple of Aphaia on Aegina, the scorched remains of which littered the terrace fills of its successor. Copious very late Attic black figure pottery accompanied them, roughly contemporary with the Athenian Agora’s ‘Perserschutt’ deposits. Stewart’s work supported that of Vinzenz Brinkmann and others who had re-dated this successor to the early Classical period, arguing that its pedimental sculptures, honoring Aeginetan prowess in the Trojan War (Figure 1), celebrated Aegina’s successful participation in the Battle of Salamis (480 BC). Heated controversy ensued, especially among German proponents of ‘style archaeology’ (Brinkmann 2006: 414), but also among ceramicists. Were our temple’s sculptures (henceforth termed ‘the Aeginetans’) late Archaic or early Classical; created simultaneously or successively; and before or after the Battle of Salamis, in which Aeginetan warships played a decisive role? Architecture played a negligible part in these debates, perhaps because the present author’s monograph of 1993 put our temple in a relative sequence with its closest kin on Paros and at Delphi, but – as sculptured buildings require – dated it according to Dieter Ohly’s chronology for its sculpture. Ohly dated our temple’s west pediment to c.500 BC. If one assumes that the whole project took just over five years (like the somewhat smaller Temple of Asklepios at Epidauros, built a century later but quite comparable sculpturally), planning and construction would have started c.505. For its completion, after the sculptures of the more progressive east pediment, a date c.485 was agreed. Just fifteen years later, however, Ohly’s dates would be challenged, sparking the present debate. Hence this new attempt to date our temple and explain its apparently multiple pediments by analyzing its architecture, independently from all stylistic controversies about its sculptures. First, however, one must understand why the extraneous ‘non-pedimental warriors’ (found on the temple’s east terrace but carved in the style of its earlier west pediment) could not have belonged to the latter, but instead apparently stood in niches in the altar court (Figure 2). This task, in turn, immediately takes us to the horizontal cornice fragments with the shallow plinth sockets typical of the west pediment, found in Ohly’s excavations since 1971 and for good reason sidelined as ‘surplus.’
A note on Medieval Mediterranean trade networks: first observations on the possible evidence of Sicilian amphorae of the 8th-9th century in Crete and the Aegean
Authors: Randazzo Matteo G.
Published: November 2022

Nearly a quarter of a century has gone by since scholars working on the Medieval Mediterranean were wondering if Byzantium was dead or alive during the 8th-9th centuries. Indeed, until recently, it was still quite a prevailing view that this period marked the ‘Dark Ages’ for the Byzantine Empire, in all the facets of its administrative, economic, and sociocultural life. Scholarly debate of the last years has zealously challenged this view, depicting a smoother and less pessimistic picture of this period. For instance, leaving aside historical and artistic aspects, and focusing on the theme of this report – that is Medieval amphorae – already in the mid-2010s it was clear that the Mediterranean remained a dynamic economic system throughout the 8th-9th century. This argument, which was mostly drawn on the evidence of the so-called Aegean globular amphorae, was further embodied and enhanced in 2018, during a thematic conference of the AIECM3 group, which was entirely dedicated to Medieval Mediterranean amphorae from the 8th to 12th centuries. Among the main and most valuable contributions, Cacciaguerra’s article shed light on the Mediterranean patterns of distribution of a specific type of amphora of the 8th-9th century produced in Sicily. Back then, amphorae of this kind were known outside Sicily, mostly along the Adriatic, but were utterly unknown eastward of the Otranto Straight. The aim of this short report is twofold: 1. to elaborate on this mainstream study-theme of Medieval Mediterranean amphorae and trade networks; 2. to expand on the current record of extra-regional evidence of Sicilian amphorae of the 8th-9th century by discussing the evidence of possible specimens documented in Crete and into the Aegean.
The Kotroni Archaeological Research Project (KASP): evaluating ancient Aphidna using multimodal landscape analysis
Authors: Agapiou Athos , Dakouri-Hild Anastasia , Davis Stephen , Andrikou Eleni , Rourk William
Published: November 2022

The Kotroni Archaeological Research Project (KASP) seeks to understand the relationship between the natural and human landscape of Aphidna from prehistory through to the present, and how such rural communities contributed to the economic, social and cultural life of larger, ‘core’ centres in the region. As one of the constitutional demes of Classical Athens, Aphidna was steeped in the foundational history of the Athenian polis, which saw in it a primordial, ancestral place tied to myths and legends. It accommodated a Middle Bronze Age cemetery, a Mycenaean/Late Bronze Age citadel, a Classical-Hellenistic fort on the citadel, and a Geometric, Archaic, Hellenistic, and Roman settlement. Furthermore, it was later settled in the form of Byzantine and Frankish monastery estates, Turkish chifliks, Arvanite villages, and the contemporary community of nearby Kapandriti. Being that the area of interest (AOI) is both remarkably well preserved due to construction prohibitions necessitated by the nearby Marathon water reservoir and features a diverse history spanning four millennia, it is an excellent case-study for human landscape inquiry, i.e. understanding diachronic inhabitation and the changing meanings of landscape in the longue durée. Important tasks in this direction include clarifying the spatial extent, chronological framework, and nature of settlement as well as the environmental affordances of the landscape, the combination of which permits a thick description of its cultural history. The main method for this investigation is intensive pedestrian survey. Additional conventional methods include the study of ground historical photographs, conventional maps, older field reports, published scholarship, ancient literature and inscription corpora, traveller accounts (17th-19th century AD), in situ buildings or architectural membra dispersed in the landscape, and artefacts (both those collected during the survey and legacy finds in museum storage, e.g. the National Archaeological Museum). Science-based methods consist of geophysical prospection, geological/geomorphological study, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) analysis, as well as geospatial informatics focusing on satellite and aerial imagery and Lidar-derived digital terrain models. The results of the intensive survey, the geophysical prospection, and the geological/geomorphological and OSL study are presented elsewhere. In this paper we present the outcomes of remote sensing, arguing that the relevant tools play an important role in the study of human landscapes at all stages of archaeological inquiry (prior, during and after ground truthing), especially when revisiting underexplored areas and employing a multimodal ‘third-wave’ survey methodology. The latter weaves in a multitude of analyses, both conventional and digital, and integrates old and new data.
Relationship of Cash Dividend Disbursement and Retained Earnings with Stock Price Volatility - A Case Study of Selected Non-Financial Firms of Pakistan
Authors: Adil Shaheen  , Farah Yasser  , Kinza Ashraf
Published: November 2022

The prime objective of the current study is to determine the relationship between corporate dividend policy and retained earnings and its impact on stock price volatility. The impact of corporate dividend policy and retained earnings on stock price volatility has been debated and discussed variously over the course of the last five decades. Past researches showed mixed evidences of this relationship and the results +remained inconclusive. Moreover, in this regard, only a few studies have been conducted in Pakistan. So, it remains undecided whether the relationship exists or not and further study is required to establish or refute its existence. For this purpose, modern statistical techniques and tools available for analyzing the data were used. Data from a total of 75 companies was initially collected and scrutinized according to different parameters mentioned in the study. Only 50 companies from year 2010 to 2018 were left to be analyzed as the data was not wholly available for the remaining companies as per research requirement. Two separate models were run and the results determined that there exists a positive relationship of corporate dividend policy and retained earnings with stock price volatility.
Role of Financial Development on Economic Complexity: An Empirical Evidence from 33 BRI Countries
Authors: Aslam Dr. Aribah , Ghulam Ghouse  , Bismillah Khan
Published: November 2022

Economic complexity plays a prominent role in the economic development of countries. So, economies need to improve their level of product sophistication. Several, researchers have mostly neglected the concept of economic complexity and its detrimental factors. Few economists have determined economic complexity with the help of socioeconomic determinants, while others have determined economic complexity through financial development index and institutions.  This study employed the Generalize Method of Movement (GMM) to estimate the empirical inferences to cater the effects of endogeneity. Fiscal policy stances such as the log of final government consumption, GDP per capita income, institutions, and the lagged economic complexity have shown a positive and enormous impact on economic complexity. The findings of the current study have elucidated that the financial development index itself is negatively insignificant for economic complexity. However, after introducing the term ‘interaction’ with ‘institutions’, it reflected a positive and significant impact on economic complexity. So, as a policy measure, the selected sample BRI countries must regulate their finance system     which would improve their institutional structure.
Comparative Analysis of Taxation Techniques and Models used in Digital Economy
Authors: Bruce Mark Rowland , Adekoya Adebayo Felix , Boateng Samuel , Appiahene Peter
Published: November 2022

In terms of a digital tax, there are certain interesting characteristics of the digital economy and its business structures. Some of these characteristics include mobility, data dependency, network effects, and buildup of multi-faceted business versions, a propensity toward dominance or monopoly, and unpredictability. Our study offers a digital economy model that explicitly accounts for a number of these aspects. The economic structures of platforms are bidirectional, they rely significantly on data collection, and they dominate the market. This model is then used to examine the effect of different taxes suggested to target implicitly dominating digital platforms. The aim of this paper was to examine various digital taxation models that are currently in use in other countries. The paper ends by proposing some recommendations to overcome some of the challenges and issues raised in this paper.

This study examines the behaviour of cryptocurrencies’ returns to stock market volatility and cybercrime in the South African economy. The study makes us Generalized Autoregressive Score Model (GAS) investigate the time-varying correlation between cryptocurrencies’ returns and cybercrime, and cryptocurrencies’ returns and stock market volatility by making use of daily time series data on different four types of Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and BNB from January 2019 to December 2021. The study also makes use of the regime-switching approach to regime-switching impacts on the cryptocurrencies’ returns. The empirical results obtained showed that cybercrime, on average, has negative impacts on the cryptocurrencies’ returns and the time-varying correlation between stock market volatility and each of the cryptocurrencies’ returns is largely positive. The stock market volatility impact is found to be regime-switching dependent. The study recommends that efforts to reduce cybercrime activities must be reinforced to deepen the use of digital currencies and policy measures must be taken to ensure reduced or moderate stock market volatility.

National Security and Higher Education : Challenges, Risks and Threats
Authors: Bács Zoltán György
Published: November 2022

Globalisation raises the risk of unwanted leaks of information from higher education institutions and the use of the scientific results of one country for hostile purposes by another one. The national interests to be protected have their dynamics so national security has to also be in permanent development. Networking as a part of HUMINT has a growing importance among students and the teaching staff as well. The protective measures need urgent upgrading in order to prevent any possible risk on behalf of state and non-state actors. As the students are the most exposed to different radical ideas, the preventive measures have to be focused on them. It is also important to keep an eye on the laboratories accessible at the higher education institutions where electronic, technical and chemical tools and devices can be illegally elaborated for illicit purposes.

Published: November 2022

The novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini shows how the main character Amir reflects a sense of self through the views of the other characters. At some point in the story, Amir’s self-conceptualization changes radically. Thus, the paper wants to make a psychological interpretation of how emotional traumas affect the self-perception, moral-development, and planned behavior of the main character by scrutinizing the plot, conflicts, and point of view of Amir. Additionally, this study applies the discourse analysis method of the qualitative approach. The gathered data is analyzed through Ajzen and Fishbein's Theory of Planned Behavior, Bem's Self-Perception Theory, and Kohlberg's Moral Development Theory as the main theories. Higgin's Theory of Discrepancy and Tajfel and Turner’s Social Identity Theory also serve as sub-theories to Bem's Self-Perception Theory. The moral developments of Amir reveal that he has reached the final stage, called stage 6: Universal Principles of the third level, the Postconventional level. Also, Amir’s self-perception throughout the story depicts a negative outlook toward oneself. Furthermore, the planned behaviors of the main character are driven by his morality and self-perception throughout the story.

Previous studies have indicated that textual and content schemata influence literacy skills. This study was designed to investigate the influence of textual schema on students’ organisational and mechanical accuracy skills in writing. The population of participants included all the Senior Secondary School II students in Ibadan. A total number of one hundred and fifty (150) students, selected through a random sampling technique, took part in the study. The descriptive design of the ex post facto type was adopted in the study. A self-structured questionnaire on textual schema and an essay test within the readability level of candidates formed the instruments for data collection. Students’ essays were scored based on content, organisation, expression and mechanical accuracy: each aspect was scored based on 100%. Three hypotheses were raised and tested using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. It was discovered that students who had high levels of textual schema reflected adequate organisational and mechanical skills in their essay writing. Based on these findings, it was recommended that students should be exposed to a constant reading of books, ebooks, novels, newspapers, magazines and essays to enhance their textual schema for effective writing.

The aim of this research is to generalize the international practice of internal auditing of financial transactions to substantiate alternatives to their rational use by financial monitoring entities in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to summarize the key changes in international FATF standards and examine the use of a risk-oriented approach by Ukrainian entities in combating AML or CFT. Assessment of audit risk using quantitative characteristics is assumed on the basis of the most commonly used mathematical three-factor multiplicative model. Turning to the EU’s experience is relevant for the global expert and regulators communities given the necessity to consider the best world practices. Summarizing the above provisions of the theory and practice of the risk-oriented approach for Ukrainian SFM allowed for identification of the areas of its practical implementation in the system of internal audit of financial transactions. The presence of an internal audit service will increase the degree of trust that government representatives have in such companies and the likelihood that a mutually beneficial partnership will develop between the parties.

Published: November 2022

West syndrome is a triad of infantile spasms with hypsarrhythmia and developmental regression. It results in a poor neurodevelopmental outcome due to delayed diagnosis and treatment which is further compounded by a delay in referral to multidisciplinary interventions. Our case was a male child with west syndrome who came to us at 3 years of age with neurodevelopmental concerns of global developmental delay with features of autism spectrum disorder. Based on thorough developmental evaluation he was started on an individualised, short term, goal oriented multidisciplinary therapy with physiotherapy, occupational therapy and parental counselling for his neurodevelopmental concerns. As a result improvement was noted in his motor as well as socioemotional skills. Early intervention with multidisciplinary therapy with adherence by motivated parents is essential for a better neurodevelopmental outcome in a case of west syndrome.
