Authors: Mukminin Muhamad Saiful , Anis Muhammad Yunus , Ethelb Hamza
Published: January 2024

Research related to the translation of novels from Arabic to English has been done but not many studies related to circumstance in novels. Circumstance is an element in a clause that accompanies a process that serves to explain the situation and condition of the process. In the novel, the circumstantial plays an important role in explaining the process in the storyline. The purpose of this study is to describe the types and forms of circumstan in the Arabic-English translation of Al-Ajnichah Al-Mutakassirah by Khalil Gibran. The analysis of circumstance is related to translation theory, namely technique, shift, method, and ideology of translation. This research belongs to descriptive qualitative research by applying a combination of SFL and translation studies. Data collection was customized to the characteristics of language research, i.e. using note-taking technique. The data analysis technique used a combination of two analysis models, namely the interactive analysis model (Miles and Huberman) and content analysis (Spradley). The result of this study shows that there are 9 types of circumstances in the Arabic-English translation of Al-Ajnichah Al-Mutakassirah novel. Circumstance types are dominated by location circumstance types. The form of circumstance found consists of 3 forms which are dominated by phrases. The application of translation techniques can be found in a total of 896 data of translation techniques with 15 types of translation techniques dominated by the application of established equivalent techniques. Translation shift occurs at the level of circumstance type and form, totaling 5 data and 31 data respectively. The orientation of Arabic-English translation refers to the target language with domestication ideology.

A Study on the Sections about People with Strange Talent in Jinbeolhuigosokpyeon: With a Focus on the Organization and Characteristics of Volume 7
Authors:   THE  TAEDONG  CENTER  FOR  EASTERN  CLASSICS, YANG Jae-sung
Published: January 2024

This study aims to investigate the cited literature of the sections for people with strange talent in Volume 7 of Jinbeolhuigosokpyeon along with their organization and compilation characteristics. As for cited literature, the study was able to supplement what was not addressed in previous studies with the materials of “Choi Saeng,” “Gigijeongrang,” “Lee Geun,” and “Yu Eung-bu” and found that the records of “Shin Gyeong-yeon” and “Jemal” were closely related to the texts of Piseorok of Yeolhailgi. By comparing the book with Jinhuisokgo, the researcher discovered the intention to exclude overlapping figures as well as certain parts that did not fit the nature of the catalog and edited the book with a focus on strange records. The researcher succinctly presents the selected core parts of each article in the cited literature of the sections for people with strange talent in Volume 7. Then, the texts of an article were classified into several catalogs and reorganized. In addition, the researcher reorganized and adapted the sentences of the article anew and colorfully embodied figures by organically rearranging various cited work. As for records, th study compiled the sections in a way that the distinct characteristics of people with strange talent would be shown clearly in various methods by changing expressions in one or two letters, boldly deleting unnecessary sentences, adding new phrases, or reorganizing the sentence order. These were the achievements that the study made by extensively surveying various pieces of literature, taking pains on them, and trying “convergence & expansion” and “reorganization & adaptation.”
Aspect of Entry in a Family Register of 18th-19th Centuries of Iphoomungi
Authors:   THE  TAEDONG  CENTER  FOR  EASTERN  CLASSICS, KO Min-jung
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to consider the aspect of entry in a family register of 18th-19th centuries by analyzing Iphoomungi mainly. First, Iphoomungi is the document made by major people concerned to prove the facts of entry in a family register among the people, and it was written by adopting the form of provisions or wan-ui, the written agreement form during 18th-19th centuries which entry in a family register was spread commonly. Second, the people who wrote ‘Iphoomungi’ tried to ‘Gyehooipan’, the certificate of entry in a family register’ based on this. This is different from the existing viewpoint to see the completion of entry in a family register was the making ‘Iphoomungi’. Therefore, the people of that period tried to prove the fact by issuing ‘Gyehooipan’ finally. Third, ‘Iphoomungi’ was basically made by focusing on parents who were the people involved in entry in a family register but it had been changed to be made by leaders of the clans as the clans were organized socially and expanded the scope of candidates to be registered in a family legally. This is interpreted to show the social phenomenon of replacing the main agent from parents to clans to decide entry in a family register.
BUDDHIST MOTIVES IN THE CREATIVITY OF TSYRENDORZHO BALZHANOV (PROBLEMS OF DIRECTING AND TRAINING ACTORS IN THE BURYAT THEATRE IN THE 1990s and 2000s)
Authors:   East Siberian state institute of culture, Manzarkhanov Eduard Evgenyevich
Published: January 2024

The article examines the creativity of the Buryat director Tsyrendorzho Balzhanov, formed in connection with theatrical phenomena and events that determined the future of the Buryat drama theater at the turn of cultural epochs. Having chosen the Buddhist theme as the main motive of his work, Tsyrendorzho Balzhanov faced a number of issues that raised the problem of staging solutions and the problem of training an actor while creating Buddhist images and characters, as well as the possibility of achieving a special state of «satori» in terms of theatrical action. The lack of experience in the religious productions in the Buryat drama theater, the theatrical and directorial legacy that remained from the theater of the Soviet years did not allow the Buryat director to consolidate the state of «satori», which he managed to achieve in the play «Damdin Lama». Based on this experience, which is more intuitive in nature, Tsyrendorzho Balzhanov de-voted the main part of his creative career to the search for directorial ap-proaches and tools, the development of acting training. The result of the search for the solutions that the Buryat director faced after the play «Damdin Lama» in 1990 was his scientific research «The Mys-tery of Tsam as a Buddhist philosophical text and ritual action» and the crea-tion of the acting training based on the methods of Oriental theater and Bud-dhist religious practices. The author concludes that the modern theater, which has experience of performative theater and postmodern philosophy, has the potential to create such productions, however, only in the director’s interpretation, without partic-ipation of the «actor-personality», who, according to Tsyrendorzho Balzhanov, remains the center of the director’s idea in the play imbued with the Buddhist motifs.

Object: The purpose of the study is to analyze the main trends in the global fast-food market and outline the features and prospects of the local Kazakhstani fast-food market, taking into account the influence of the trend on a healthy lifestyle in this segment and its manifestation in Kazakhstan.Methods: The methodological basis of the research is a quantitative method of online questionnaires, analysis, generalization of data on changes in the fast-food market in new conditions, as well as comparison and extrapolation.Results: An overview of current global trends is presented and their manifestation in the Kazakhstani market is indicated. It is noted that the global trend for vegetable substitutes for meat products in the fast-food market currently does not have serious development in Kazakhstan, although elements of the flexitarian trend have already been manifested since healthy eating has taken a strong position in the behavioral characteristics and preferences of local consumers. There is a pronounced halal trend on the part of the Kazakh consumer, there is trust and national predisposition to it. The market leaders were identified by the number of points and the level of recognition.Conclusions: The study showed the concern of local consumers about the harmful component of the fast-food market, as well as a high percentage of respondents' doubts about the possibility of functioning of the fast-food industry in the field of healthy food in general (50 %). The prospects for the local fast-food market include the preconditions for the predominance of plant components, but not excluding natural meat, and on the contrary, even increased requirements for its environmental friendliness. Thus, in the Kazakhstani market, we can talk about the mixing of the global American and halal trends.

Aim. To identify the most significant factors contributing to the development of abdominal obesity (AO) in young and middle-aged residents of St. Petersburg. Design. A single-stage study conducted according to the “case — control” type. Materials and methods. We examined 966 employees of various institutions of the city of St. Petersburg who underwent a dispensary examination in 2008–2009. Of these, 503 patients (366 women and 137 men) with AO were included in the study, whose diagnosis was established according to anthropometric studies (measurements of waist circumference, WC). The comparison group consisted of 50 people (38 women and 12 men) without AO, comparable in age and gender with patients with AO. Results. 82.7% of people aged 30 to 39 years were obese, 91.3% of patients aged 40–49 years and 97.9% of participants aged 50–55 years, the prevalence of obesity increased with age (p < 0.01). Patients with AO were significantly more likely than participants in the comparison group to eat easily digestible carbohydrates (268 (53.3%) and 12 (24%), respectively, p < 0.001) and fats (248 (49.3%) and 11 (22%), respectively, p < 0.001). Among patients with AO, those who ate 1–2 times a day or, conversely, 6 or more times a day had body weight (p < 0.001) and body mass index (BMI) (p < 0.01) significantly higher than those examined who ate 4 times a day. When comparing BMI and WC in AO patients with different birth weights, it was found that AO patients whose birth weight was more than 4 kg had higher BMI and WC values. 482 (95.8 %) patients with abdominal obesity (AO) had low physical activity — less than 210 minutes weekly; 21 (4.2 %) patients with AO — at least 210 minutes weekly (р < 0.001). Almost all the examined patients without AO had higher education 49 (98%), while among patients with AO — only 297 (59%), p < 0.001. The analysis of the income level structure revealed that the income level of individuals with AO is slightly lower than in the group without AO. Conclusion. The prevalence of AO among residents of St. Petersburg aged 30–55 years is 52.1%. We have created a model based on the calculation of the logistic regression equation to assess the risk of AO development. The most significant parameters influencing its formation are highlighted: the level of education, age, type of nutrition, number of meals per day, birth weight, gender, income level, physical activity. Keywords: abdominal obesity, risk factors for the development of abdominal obesity, body mass index, waist circumference.

Aim. To assess an efficacy of continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) combined with insulin pump therapy for perioperative glycemic control after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Design. Prospective comparative study. Materials and methods. We used CGMS for 72 hours in 105 patients with coronary artery disease including 52 ones with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2). Patients with DM2 were divided into 2 subgroups: insulin pump therapy (subgroup 1) and bolus intravenous insulin according to in-hospital protocol (subgroup 2). We analyzed pro-inflammatory markers, adipokines and incidence of postoperative complications in one hour, 12 hours, 7 days and 1 year after CABG. Results. Insulin pump therapy ensured target glycemia in most cases (62.5%) while bolus intravenous insulin injection was followed by normal glucose level in 21.4% of patients (p = 0.003). Insulin pump therapy significantly decreased highly sensitive C-reactive protein after 12 hours (p = 0.0001), RANTES after 7 days (p = 0.035). In patients on insulin pump therapy the leptin level after 7 days was significantly lower than in the subgroup 2 (p = 0.039). There was a negative relationship between the leptin level after 7 days and the use of CGMS combined with insulin pump therapy (r = –0.73; p = 0.025). In patients on insulin pump therapy the adiponectin level after 1 year was significantly higher than in the subgroup 2 (p = 0.028). Insulin pump therapy decreased the incidence of postpericardiotomy syndrome (p = 0.03) and the period of hospitalization (p = 0.007), but there was no significant difference in the rate of complications in the long-term period. Conclusion. CGMS combined with insulin pump therapy is safe and effective for perioperative glycemic control, as well as decrease of the incidence of postpericardiotomy syndrome. Keywords: coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus type 2, coronary artery bypass surgery, insulin infusion system.

Primary intradural extraosseous Ewing’s sarcoma of the L3 nerve root: illustrative case
Authors: Arena John D , Sinha Saurabh , Wathen Connor , Ghenbot Yohannes , Zhang Paul J , Welch William C
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Ewing’s sarcoma is an uncommon, aggressive malignancy that typically presents as an osseous lesion, most commonly in children and adolescents. Very rarely Ewing’s sarcoma can present as an intradural extramedullary mass mimicking more common tumors.

OBSERVATIONS

A 32-year-old female had a left L3 nerve root–associated lesion identified in the setting of recent-onset radiculopathy. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine was favored to demonstrate a schwannoma or neurofibroma. Hemilaminectomy, facetectomy, and resection of the mass led to improved radiculopathy and a tissue diagnosis of Ewing’s sarcoma. Immediate referral to medical oncology facilitated expeditious initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation.

LESSONS

The differential diagnosis for newly identified nerve root–associated tumors should remain broad, including common benign pathologies and rare malignant entities. Tissue remains the gold standard for diagnosis, as preoperative imaging suggested a nerve sheath tumor. Malignant pathologies such as Ewing’s sarcoma must be considered, especially in the setting of rapidly progressive symptoms or interval growth on serial imaging. Early diagnosis allows for the timely initiation of comprehensive oncological care. Long-term multidisciplinary follow-up is necessary for the surveillance of disease progression.
A sellar-suprasellar malignant optic pathway glioblastoma in the absence of prior radiation therapy: illustrative case

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

To date, only a few cases of sellar and suprasellar glioblastomas have been reported even though high-grade glioma constitutes the most common adult brain tumor, commonly arising in the cerebral hemispheres. It arises de novo from astrocytes within the optic nerve, optic chiasm, or optic tracts and is quite challenging to diagnose and treat. To the authors’ knowledge, there are 72 cases (including this one) of optic glioma malignancies in the medical literature, 30 corresponding to glioblastomas.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors present the diagnostic considerations and challenges, management strategies, and clinical course of a very large sellar-suprasellar glioblastoma in a 19-year-female who had never received radiation therapy or prior surgery.

LESSONS

Sellar-suprasellar glioblastomas, although extremely rare, are known to occur and pose challenges in their diagnosis and preoperative treatment planning. The presence of diffusion restriction on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in a mass lesion that has ring and nodular postcontrast enhancement in addition to absent calcification on computed tomography should be alert to the possibility of a high-grade mass. This is extremely important for preoperative patient counseling and planning for the multimodal treatments, because sellar-suprasellar glioblastomas carry a poorer prognosis than the common benign mass lesions in the region.

Provincijski motivi i teme u dramama Gogolja i Čehova (Revizor, Galeb, Tri sestre)
Authors: Koprivica Marina
Published: January 2024

Kao jedna od centralnih u ruskoj književnosti, svakako je i tema ruske provincije, preko koje su veliki ruski pisci, poput Čehova i Gogolja, zaobilazili uticaje cenzure, i uspijevali, uz književne prikaze malograđanske sredine i provincijskog načina razmišljanja, da u prijemčivijoj formi žigošu društvene anomalije, i oslikaju socijalnu atmosferu carske Rusije u cjelini, nezavisno od provincijskog ili velegradskog miljea. Kulturološka identifikacija fenomena prostora sa konceptom ličnosti utemeljuje novi pravac naučnog istraživanja slike provincije u ruskoj književnosti. Stoga, ćemo u ovom radu rasvijetliti problematiku opisa provincije sa njenim pozitivnim i negativnim konotacijama, njenu simboliku, strukturu slike, uključujući provincijski grad, selo, plemićki posjed, rusku prirodu, u funkciji formiranja suda o konceptu ličnosti. U svjetlu tumačenja slike ruske provincije polazimo od stanovišta da njenu vječitu ulogu sekundarnog kulturnog prostora, lišenog dinamike, vrijednosti i kreativnosti, ne treba jednostrano posmatrati. Mit o provinciji, kao isključivo o mjestu gdje vladaju dosada i jednoličnost, poprima relativne odlike, jer prostorna, to jest, geografska pozicija udaljenosti od velikih kulturnih centara, može, ali i ne mora predstavljati polazište za cjelovitu karakterizaciju ličnosti.
Most Frequent Multi-Word Expressions in English for Banking: A Corpus-Based Diachronic Study
Authors: Marušić Borislav
Published: January 2024

The aim of the paper is to perform diachronic research in one segment of Business English – English for Banking to check the diachronic stability of its vocabulary. Therefore, an analysis of multi-word expressions (MWEs) in 15 syntactic categories in annual reports of four biggest US banks for fiscal years 2006 and 2021 was made. More precisely, the diachronic changes comprising the span of time of 15 years were analysed in both the frequency of the occurrence of MWEs across the 15 analysed syntactic categories and in their percentage relationship to the scope of the corpora. The corpus analysis made it possible to extract real language in use, enabling the author to determine diachronic changes in vocabulary across categories, thus bridging the gap between the existing knowledge of vocabulary in English for Banking and the current situation. The research showed that there is a high statistical significance of changes in both the frequency of the occurrence of MWEs across the 15 analysed categories and in their percentage relationship to the scope of the corpus in the period over 15 years. The research findings might be useful for both Business English lecturers and their students, due to the various possible pedagogical implications of the results. The research might function as an impetus for linguists doing research in corpus linguistics to undertake further research in other areas of Business English to determine and describe possible changes in the language used. These areas could include: international trade, logistics, wholesale, retailing, industry, business media, leadership, management, marketing or investing.
Jezik i pandemija koronavirusa: neologizmi u italijanskom jeziku štampe
Authors: Puhar Jelena , Mitrović Marija
Published: January 2024

Pandemija kovida 19, proglašena od strane Svetske zdravstvene organizacije 11. marta 2020. godine, uslovila je promene u različitim aspektima svakodnevnog života. U ovome radu bavili smo se jezičkim promenama u italijanskom jeziku koje su se manifestovale stvaranjem novih reči, poprimanjem novih značenja već postojećih reči i pozajmljivanjem stranih reči. Cilj nam je bio da predstavimo i istražimo italijanske neologizme povezane sa pandemijom novog koronavirusa prikupljane u periodu između marta 2020. godine i februara 2022. godine iz članaka italijanskih štampanih i onlajn dnevnih novina Corriere della Sera i La Repubblica. Sprovedeno istraživanje je pokazalo da su leksički neologizmi znatno brojniji od semantičkih neologizama, kao i da je najzastupljenije tvorbeno gnezdo obrazovano oko pozajmljenice covid.
Anti-metastasis After Bee Venom and Melittin by Upregulation of BRMS1 and DRG1 Genes, With Downregulation of WNT7B in Breast Cancer Cells
Authors: Celik Selcen
Published: January 2024

Breast cancer is one of the common cancers in women around the world, and metastasis potential of cancer is the main shortcoming for a high rate of survival. Apitherapy as an alternative medicine is promised to deal with cancer. Bee venom and its major component, melittin, are known to be effective for cytotoxicity in cancer cells. In this study, the expression profiles of three anti-metastatic genes including _BRMS1_,_ DRG1_ and _KAI1/CD82 _were revealed for the first time after bee venom and melittin treatment, and two pro-metastatic genes including _EGFR_ and _WNT7B_ in metastatic breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) were also examined while comparing to normal breast epithelial cells (MCF10A). Selective cytotoxicity of bee venom and melittin were higher compared to cisplatin. Melittin at 0.5 µg/ml was effective at 24h for anti-metastatic function whereas 4 µg/ml was significant in treatments with bee venom or cisplatin. Melittin induced overexpression of _BRMS1_ and _DRG1_, however bee venom induced _DRG1_ and _KAI1/CD82 _expression in breast cancer cells. _WNT7B_ was downregulated in bee venom-treated breast cancer cells. These results suggest that both bee venom and melittin may act via upregulation of some anti-metastatic genes (_BRMS1_, _DRG1_ and _KAI1/CD82)_, and down-regulation of a pro-metastatic gene, _WNT7B_.
Comparative Analysis of Political Cultures in Present-Day World Politics. The Contribution of the Cognitive-Developmental Approach
Authors: Oesterdiekhoff Georg
Published: January 2024

Political sciences do not provide an appropriate theory of the human being required to understand different political cultures both in present societies as in that of the past history. The structural-genetic theory program has evidenced that humankind went from preoperational over concrete-operational to formal-operational stages, the latter one coming into being late in history. Even in the most advanced nations of today there was a continuous development of the formal-operational stage during the last generations, causing the establishment of higher stages of political consciousness, honing sensibility for human and liberty rights, and fostering a more civilized conduct both in domestic and international politics. Accordingly, political cultures in current developing and threshold nations manifest patterns of a less elaborated and rougher standard. It is maintained that political sciences must resort to the cognitive-developmental approach to be able to understand political institutions, political behavior, and political consciousness.
Support for Campus Censorship

Published: January 2024

Many scholars conceive modern Western universities as places for open inquiry and relentless pursuit of truth. Yet in recent years, some scholars have expressed concerns about increasing censoriousness on college campuses. The present investigation tested whether people have heightened desires to censor information on campuses that is perceived as threatening to group equality or reinforcing of status hierarchies—specifically, information that portrays low-status groups unfavorably. Across four samples from three countries (U.S. adults, U.S. college-aged adults, undergraduates at a U.K. university, and undergraduates at a Hungarian university; total n=1,616) and three domains of group differences, we found that people were more censorious of statements that portray lower status groups unfavorably (women, Black people, Muslims) than otherwise identical statements that portray higher status groups unfavorably (men, White people, Christians). We also found that these differential standards in censorship preferences increased as participants self-identified as more politically liberal, perhaps reflecting Liberals’ greater aversion to inequality and protectiveness toward low-status groups. Such patterns (especially in conjunction with other recent work finding similar patterns) challenge the conventional wisdom that evaluative biases generally _harm_ low-status groups and _reinforce_ existing hierarchies. Our results suggest instead that, at least in recent years in modern Western societies, biases in information evaluations seem designed to _help_ low-status groups and to _eliminate_ or _reverse _existing hierarchies.
Philosophy in Technology: Objectives, Questions, Methods, and Issues
Authors: Krzanowski Roman
Published: January 2024

Philosophy in technology is a research program that studies the philosophical roots of engineering and technology. Philosophy in technology asserts that the resolutions to these problems need to be based on an understanding of their philosophical roots. In åthis paper, we define the objectives of philosophy in technology, the kinds of questions it explores, the methods it uses, and how it differs from the philosophy of technology. We then look at six selected problems to illustrate how the philosophical perspective shines new light onto technology.
Balancing Wellbeing and Social Harmony
Authors: Ciferri Alberto , Bongianni Cinzia
Published: January 2024

Authentic Development has been described in terms of substantial and balanced contributions of social harmony and wellbeing. Whereas objective indicators of wellbeing may be elaborated using the approaches of economists, objective indicators of social harmony are extremely difficult to define due to the exceedingly number of interdependent variables. Nevertheless, we discuss here recent elaborations of an interdisciplinary educational approach that allows students to elaborate semi-quantitative components of social harmony and become aware of real life complexities.

Published: January 2024

Uncertain climate change as a result of technological developments, often has a negative impact on the environment. This is shown by the number of carbon emissions that are continuously increasing. As a sovereign country, the issuing country of Green Sukuk Global strives to increase investment to support a sustainable development process. This study aims to analyze the effect of green finance, specifically on global green sukuk, on the adverse effects of climate change. Using time series data in four issuing countries (from January 2018 until December 2022) with an autoregressive distributed lag in the panel model approach. The findings show that in the long and short term, global green sukuk can reduce the adverse effects of climate change in the issuing country. However, economic growth affects increasing carbon emissions in the issuing country in the long term, while trade openness has no effect on climate change. To support sustainable economic development as evidenced by increased economic growth, it must be balanced with increased issuance of global green sukuk financing issues to reduce the adverse effects of climate change in issuing countries.

Published: January 2024

The term "sustainability" has emerged as a popular catchphrase for the challenges we face in the twenty-first century, which need a radical rethinking of our economic, social, and environmental practices. Energy audit has evolved as a significant instrument in the search of a sustainable future, and it may be used to leverage other sustainability initiatives. Businesses may actively contribute to a more sustainable future and align operations with global environmental objectives by adopting energy practices. The purpose of this study is to do a bibliometric analysis of scholarly works that discuss energy auditing and its role in promoting sustainability. We may learn more about the major issues, trends, and contributions to green energy audit for sustainable development by reviewing the relevant academic literature.
Brazil’s New Gas Law: Analysis, Implications, and Remuneration of Gas Processing Plants with Non-Discriminatory Access to Customers
Authors: Junior Samuel Mathias do Amaral , Padilha Janine Carvalho , Arrieche Leonardo
Published: January 2024

Brazil will increasingly rely on the availability of natural gas as new discoveries in the Pre-Salt portion are explored. Currently, a substantial amount of the gas produced associated with oil is reinjected (60,84 million m³/day in 2021, according to the Ministry of Mines and Energy), with the lack of structure being one of the factors for this non-energy purpose. The New Gas Law proposes to fill this gap by stimulating investments in infrastructure. In this sense, market opening has the potential to promote the rupture of natural monopolies by providing access to infrastructure, including Natural Gas Processing Plants (NGPP). This units, in addition to conditioning the gas for sale, allow the recovery of higher molecular weight fractions, or (Natural Gas Liquid). However, the instructions for this access required by the government are insufficient for issues related to the NGL recovery efficiency of these units, as well the method of remuneration arising from the NGL production capacity. It is proposed in this paper to include a processing tariff, based on static simulation of available technological routes. Comparison of energy spent and NGL recovery efficiency will allow to formulate the gas price, unfolding from the price of the molecule.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of the study is to seek how Green Accounting Disclosure (GAD) affects firm value using GDA Coverage Percentage quantified by NVIVO Software in Mining and Agriculture Companies in Southeast Asia. The five-year observation period for this study taken from 2017 to 2021. This research uses control variables, such as profitability, sales growth, leverage and size of mining and agriculture company in Southeast Asia. The data used were secondary data obtained from Capital IQ SnP and annual reports and/or sustainability reports posted on the company websites. Data regression with a fixed effect model approach was used for data analysis. The findings indicate that Green Accounting Disclosure, as reflected by coverage percentage in compliance with GRI standard, has insignificant on firm value in Mining and Agriculture Companies. Leverage is the only variable that matters on GAD. Even though GAD performed by this study is more rigid than binary variable, The keywords need to be developed to quantify what it takes in determining GAD variable. Though green accounting disclosure is not associated with the firm value, the author’s additional analysis found that there are only a few companies in Southeast Asia that disclose green accounting in their report. Since the disclosure of green accounting is voluntarily and companies are still hesitant to voluntarily disclose green accounting in their reports.
