Authors: Fierro Moreno Eréndira , Gaxiola Robles Linares Sergio Cuauhtémoc
Published: May 2022

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo identificar las principales estrategias de respuesta, ante la crisis por Covid-19, de empresas en México referentes a la producción y servicios, así como las estrategias de transformación digital y de colaboración virtual. Una de las principales inquietudes de esta investigación es conocer las soluciones que elaboraron las empresas mexicanas seleccionadas ante las nuevas dinámicas impuestas por el Covid-19. La información para desarrollar esta investigación se obtuvo mediante la Encuesta de Estrategias de Respuestas de Empresas Mexicanas (EEREM) 2020. Ésta es una encuesta con un muestreo no probabilístico (por conveniencia-sujetos voluntarios) a 98 empresas de México; cuya unidad de análisis fue en su mayoría mandos directivos y medios. Los principales resultados muestran que, con respecto de las estrategias de producción y/o servicios, más de 60 por ciento de las empresas tuvieron que reducir su producción, coincidentemente, casi 60 por ciento tuvo que disminuir sus costos de operación, lo que implicó que aproximadamente 90 por ciento de las empresas se adaptaran al trabajo en línea. Más de 80 por ciento de las empresas se vieron en la necesidad de optimizar sus modelos de negocio. También, 65 por ciento de las empresas invirtieron en innovación tecnológica. A pesar de esta inversión, 40 por ciento de las empresas se tuvieron que diversificar.
Precio en mercadotecnia: Una revisión bibliográfica desde la percepción en Latinoamérica
Authors: Echeverría Ríos Osiris María , Martínez Hernández Mizraim , López Hernández Ivonne
Published: May 2022

El precio siempre se ha relacionado con la perspectiva económica. Sin embargo, la noción de que el consumidor posee un conocimiento racional de los precios es visto como un obstáculo desde la perspectiva de la mercadotecnia; cuestión que es escasamente tratada desde el enfoque de la percepción del consumidor en el ámbito latinoamericano. Debido a ello, el objetivo de esta investigación es analizar los artículos de investigación empíricos en el contexto de Latinoamérica para identificar las teorías de percepción del precio, desde el ámbito de la mercadotecnia, que se han tratado de manera general. Para ello, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en las bases de datos de Scopus, Science Direct, Emerald y Redalyc. Los resultados demuestran que sobresalen doce investigaciones realizadas en Brasil, México, Colombia, Argentina y Chile, las que, en su mayoría, se perfilan dentro de la teoría del precio de referencia, relacionado con imagen y calidad.
ESTRÉS TRAUMÁTICO SECUNDARIO Y CONDUCTAS DE AUTOCUIDADO EN UNA MUESTRA DE PSICÓLOGOS CLÍNICOS DE GUADALAJARA
Authors: Solís Ruiz María Guadalupe , Silva Castillo Luis Hernando
Published: May 2022

El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo evaluar el nivel de estrés traumático secundario (ETS) y su relación con las conductas de autocuidado en una muestra de psicólogos clínicos de Guadalajara, Jalisco. Para ello, se realizó una encuesta online a los participantes quienes fueron seleccionados por un muestreo no probabilístico. Se aplicó un cuestionario de datos sociodemográficos, la Escala de estrés traumático secundario (EETS) y la Escala de Conductas de Autocuidado para psicólogos clínicos (EAP). Los resultados obtenidos reportaron la existencia de ETS en alguna medida entre los psicólogos, así como una alta frecuencia de conductas de autocuidado. No se encontró una correlación significativa entre ambas escalas, pero si existió correlación entre ítems específicos de la escala de autocuidado con la escala EETS. Por una parte, los resultados obtenidos corroboran hallazgos previos reportados en la literatura sobre el papel que pueden tener las conductas de autocuidado en el surgimiento de síntomas relacionados al ETS, por otra parte, la investigación arroja evidencia de que las conductas de autocuidado pueden mitigar el surgimiento de síntomas de ETS, destacando principalmente aquellas enfocadas en la actividad física.

Frequency in the Dictionary
Authors: Stewart Dominic
Published: May 2022

This book is concerned with frequency in foreign language learning, and in particular with contrastive frequency across languages. The focus is on the learning of English and Italian, whether it be English speakers learning Italian or Italian speakers learning English. Despite the fact that frequency � whether it be of lemmas or of word forms within specific lexicogrammatical environments � lies at the heart of L2 learning, it is not stressed in any salient or consistent manner in English / Italian language-learning materials. This work aims to redress the balance, offering a corpusassisted critical analysis of the way frequency is handled in English and Italian dictionaries, and bringing out unexpected differences between the two languages.

HOUSEHOLD SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS ON MATERNAL HEALTH STATUS AT THE TIME OF CHILDBIRTH IN NORTH CENTRAL TIMOR
Authors: Seran Sirilius , Yanti Akoit Maria , Sherly Kase Marce
Published: May 2022

The number of maternal mortality during childbirth is influenced by education, occupation, income, number of children, and the frequency of prenatal visits. The relationship between these variables can be directly or indirectly related to the health of the mother during childbirth. The prenatal visit frequency can act as an intermediate variable that links other variables to the mother’s health status during childbirth. This study aims to; 1) determine the direct and indirect relationship between variables, 2) determine the effective contribution of each independent variable to the mother’s health during childbirth. The data for this study came from 251 mothers who had given birth. The path analysis from the complete model shows that partial income has a negative but Sign (0.000) relationship with the mother's health condition, whereas other variables do not. However, simultaneously the five variables have a Sign (0.000) relationship with the mother’s health during the delivery. The complete model suggested an R-Square value of 0.152. The largest effective contribution to maternal health status comes from income with 13%, following the frequency of prenatal visit: 1.0%, the lowest contribution comes from husband’s education: 0.1%.

Bu çalışmada çevrim içi nefretin en çok görüldüğü alanların başında gelen İslamofobik nefret söyleminin, uzun bir süredir dijital dünyadaki mizahı domine etmekte olan, Türkiye’de yaygın adıyla ‘caps’ olarak kullanılan ‘internet mem’leri aracılığıyla hangi türlerde gerçekleştiği ve Müslümanların, İslamofobik memlerdeki temsili ele alınmıştır. Nitel bir araştırma yöntemi olan tematik analiz yöntemiyle İslamofobik memler, tema ve alt temalara ayırılmış ve memler üzerinden İslamofobik nefret söyleminin çevrim içi mecradaki temsilinin doğası keşfedilmeye çalışılmıştır. İslamofobik içeriklerden oluşturulan veri setinden elde edilen çıktılara göre öncelikle ofansif metin ve zararsız görsel içeren memler, zararsız metin ve ofansif görsel içeren memler ve hem ofansif metin hem de ofansif görsel içeren memler olmak üzere içeriklerin bir kategorisi oluşturulmuş ve veri setindeki memlerin kodlanmasının ardından ortaya ‘Şiddet’, Cinsiyetçilik’, ‘Tek Tipleştirme’ ve ’İnsan dışılaştırma’dan oluşan ana temalar çıkartılmıştır. Medya ve aşırı sağ tarafından ‘Terör’ ve ‘Şiddet’ üzerinden Müslümanlara kalıp yargılar biçilmesi yeni bir olgu değildir. Ancak ofansif ve kara mizah ögeleri barındıran memlerin, Müslümanları insan dışılaştıran yaklaşımları İslamofobinin boyutunun herhangi bir nefret dolu davranışı engelleme mekanizmasının olmadığı bir ortamda nerelere varabileceğini göstermektedir.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a comorbidity associated with premature birth, with an incidence that varies depending on gestational age, treatment applied in neonatal intensive care unit and risk factors related to each newborn. Retinopathy has been studied since the use of free-flowing oxygen in the incubator when this condition was first mentioned. Studies published over time have tried to identify the optimal levels for oxygenation in favor of ROP prevention but without affecting survival, a topic that is still widely debated today. Gradually, various risk factors were identified regarding the occurrence of severe forms of ROP. Screening for retinopathy prematurity has been identified as one of the most effective measures to prevent blindness in former premature infants. The correct identification of the categories of newborns that should benefit from this dynamic follow-up fully contributes to limiting the cases of retinal detachment. The ongoing study of risk factors and their inclusion in studies to verify the correlation with the incidence of ROP has the potential to improve outcomes in the fight against ROP in preterm infants.

Many complications can occur to a new-born during a vacuum-assisted delivery. Vacuum-assisted deliveries are considered to be safe and there seems to be insufficient evidence of long-term neurodevelopmental effects. There has always been a debate among clinicians about the risk of major neonatal injury using vacuum extraction. The major complications presented in this article are: intracranial haemorrhage, subgaleal haemorrhage, seizures, cerebral infarction, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and permanent brachial plexus injury. We included several retrospective studies discussing these major complications. The incidence of vacuum related birth injuries was proven to be higher than the incidence of spontaneous birth injuries; however, the overall incidence was low.

Despite current recommendations to encourage vaginal birth, the rate of cesarean sections has increased significantly in recent years, leading to an increase in the rate of uterine scar defects. The association between these defects and multiple maternal comorbidities motivates their study for prevention. Using various online library search engines such as PubMed, Medscape, UpToDate, Cochrane, we selected studies on the factors that cause deficient uterine scarring. In literature, it has various names, such as: isthmocele, niche, uterine scar dehiscence or uterine diverticulum. For this paper, 11 scientific articles were selected, choosing only the factors for which a positive statistical link was observed, meaning the increase of the risk of uterine scar defect. Currently, there is no unanimity on the factors that influence the quality of uterine scarring, for many of the factors analyzed there are also other contradictory studies.

Published: May 2022

Motor disorders as a result of stroke impair the mobility of the patient, limiting his participation in daily activities. Spastic paresis is one of the most frequent consequences of the central nervous system damage. At present, a promising method of therapy for spastic paresis,due to its non-invasiveness and safety, is the application of focal muscle vibration (FMV) in stroke patients. Foreign studies demonstrate the successful use of FMV, while there are no mentions of the FMV application of in the Russian literature. Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of the of FMV use in the rehabilitation of the upper limb in the early recovery period in patients who have suffered a cerebral stroke, with a degree of disability of 3 points on the Rankin scale. Material and methods. The study involved 40 patients of the Federal Center of Brain Research and Neurotechnologies: 20 patients of the experimental group (13 men, 51.4±12.85 years) and 20 patients of the control group (15 men, 53.0±11.34 years). Patients of the control group received a course of conventional physical therapy (individual physical therapy sessions). The participants of the experimental group, in addition to conventional physical therapy classes identical to those in the control group, underwent a training course on the «Vibramoov» (Techno Concept, France) apparatus for the upper limb. To assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation before and after the course, functional scales (MRC, MAS, FMA, FAT) were used to assess the degree of the upper limb functional recovery. Results and discussion. As a result, the patients of the experimental group showed improvements in both the proximal and distal parts of the upper limb, while the patients of the control group only in the proximal. Conclusion. Due to the results obtained after the course with the use of FMV, the range of motor skills has expanded in patients that will allow them to use the upper limb more effectively when performing household activities, such as eating, dressing, personal hygiene, etc.
TRANSFERS OF MANAGERS AND BOARD MEMBERS TO POLITICS: IMPACT ON FIRM ACCESS TO DEBT
Authors: Jackowicz Krzysztof , Kozłowski Lukasz
Published: May 2022

The main goal of this study is to examine how Transfers of Managers and Board members to Politics (TMBPs) impact firms’ access to financing. Using a new dataset covering Central European economies during the 2014–2019 period and random–effects static panel models, we find that TMBPs worsen access to financing for concerned firms, which suggests that TMBPs constitute a loss of valuable social ties for firms and that TMBPs do not create a new form of political connections through past social networks. Moreover, according to our results, the latter seems to be short–lived.

Inflation is an undesirable situation for a country’s economy due to the negative effects it causes. Therefore, it has been the subject of numerous empirical studies. Many of these studies focus on the interaction between inflation and indirect tax revenues, and it presents arguments that there is a strong interaction between the variables discussed. The main feature that distinguishes our study from others is that it talks about how the economic policies implemented in the Presidential Government System, which was passed as of 09 July 2018, affect the aforesaid interaction. In this study, which aims to reveal the interaction between indirect tax revenues and inflation, indirect tax revenues and infla-tion data in Turkey for the period 2004:1-2021:8 are analyzed with Vector Auto Regressive (VAR) on a monthly basis. As a result of the analysis, a statistically significant and important interaction was detected between the two param-eters. In addition, findings regarding the existence of a one-way causality relationship from inflation to tax revenues were obtained.
CORPORATE DEBT AND EARNINGS MANAGEMENT: EVIDENCE FROM SLOVAKIA
Authors: Valaskova Katarina , Gajdosikova Dominika
Published: May 2022

Several different models have been developed worldwide to detect manipulative financial reporting in en-terprises. These earnings management practices help enterprises improve their financial performance or gain some advantages based on window dressing techniques. Moreover, there are several firm-specific factors and indicators that can influence the earnings management behavior of enterprises. The purpose of this paper is to test the relationship between corporate debt and earnings management in a sample of 15,716 Slovak firms over a 5-year period. The level of earnings management is measured by discretionary accruals using the Kasznik model, the debt of enterprises is quan-tified by several indicators (total indebtedness ratio, self-financing ratio, current and non-current indebtedness ratios, equity leverage ratio, and insolvency ratio). In this paper, a correlation analysis and an ANOVA method were applied to show if there is any statistically significant dependence between the level of discretionary accruals and corporate debt. The results indicate a positive relationship between the level of discretionary accruals and total indebtedness, non-current indebtedness, and insolvency ratios, while a negative relationship was revealed for self-financing and cur-rent indebtedness ratios.
Globally Optimal and Scalable N-way Matching of Astronomy Catalogs

Published: May 2022

Building on previous Bayesian approaches, we introduce a novel formulation of probabilistic cross-identification, where detections are directly associated to (hypothesized) astronomical objects in a globally optimal way. We show that this new method scales better for processing multiple catalogs than enumerating all possible candidates, especially in the limit of crowded fields, which is the most challenging observational regime for new-generation astronomy experiments such as the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Here we study simulated catalogs where the ground truth is known and report on the statistical and computational performance of the method. The paper is accompanied by a public software tool to perform globally optimal catalog matching based on directional data.
Redshift Estimation and Constraints on Intergalactic and Interstellar Media from Dispersion and Scattering of Fast Radio Bursts
Authors: Cordes J. M. , Ocker Stella Koch , Chatterjee Shami
Published: May 2022

A sample of 14 FRBs with measured redshifts and scattering times is used to assess contributions to dispersion and scattering from the intergalactic medium (IGM), galaxy halos, and the disks of host galaxies. The IGM and galaxy halos contribute significantly to dispersion measures (DMs) but evidently not to scattering, which is then dominated by host galaxies. This enables the usage of scattering times for estimating DM contributions from host galaxies and also for a combined scattering–dispersion redshift estimator. Redshift estimation is calibrated using the scattering of Galactic pulsars after taking into account different scattering geometries for Galactic and intergalactic lines of sight. The DM-only estimator has a bias of ∼0.1 and rms error of ∼0.15 in the redshift estimate for an assumed ad hoc value of 50 pc cm−3 for the host galaxy’s DM contribution. The combined redshift estimator shows less bias by a factor of 4 to 10 and a 20%–40% smaller rms error. We find that values for the baryonic fraction of the ionized IGM f
igm ≃ 0.85 ± 0.05 optimize redshift estimation using dispersion and scattering. Our study suggests that 2 of the 14 candidate galaxy associations (FRB 20190523A and FRB 20190611B) should be reconsidered.

We have analyzed Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Band 6 data of the hypercompact H ii region G24.78+0.08 A1 (G24 HC H ii) and report the detection of vibrationally excited lines of HC3N (v
7 = 2, J = 24 − 23). The spatial distribution and kinematics of a vibrationally excited line of HC3N (v
7 = 2, J = 24 − 23, l = 2e) are found to be similar to the CH3CN vibrationally excited line (v
8 = 1), which indicates that the HC3N emission is tracing the disk around the G24 HC H ii region previously identified by the CH3CN lines. We derive the 13CH3CN/HC13CCN abundance ratios around G24 and compare them to the CH3CN/HC3N abundance ratios in disks around Herbig Ae and T Tauri stars. The 13CH3CN/HC13CCN ratios around G24 (∼3.0–3.5) are higher than the CH3CN/HC3N ratios in the other disks (∼0.03–0.11) by more than 1 order of magnitude. The higher CH3CN/HC3N ratios around G24 suggest that the thermal desorption of CH3CN in the hot dense gas and efficient destruction of HC3N in the region irradiated by the strong UV radiation are occurring. Our results indicate that the vibrationally excited HC3N lines can be used as a disk tracer of massive protostars at the HC H ii region stage, and the combination of these nitrile species will provide information of not only chemistry but also physical conditions of the disk structures.
