PROVENANCE AND DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE CARBONATES FROM BALUTI FORMATION (LATE TRIASSIC), KURDISTAN REGION, IRAQ
Authors: Tobia Faraj H. , Mustafa Baran H.
Published: July 2023

The carbonate of Late Triassic Baluti Formation, Kurdistan Region, Iraq was geochemically investigated to interpret provenance, depositional environments and sources of the rare earth elements (REEs) based on major, trace, and rare earth elements geochemistry. The predominance of Ca and the low percentage of Mg suggest that mineral phase is calcite at Sararu; in contrast, the dominance of MgO is in Sarki indicates the carbonate is subject to intensive dolomitization. P and Sr are dominated over the other elements, especially for Sararu carbonate. The positive correlation of ΣREE with Ti, Al, K, Sc, V, Rb, Y, Zr, and Nb and negative correlation with Ca in addition to slight enrichment of LREE suggest an input of siliciclastic sediments from the continent. The low values of the Y/Ho ratio (29.83 to 33.85) relative to marine water and approach of Ce anomaly to 1.0 refer to increasing the clastic flux from the adjacent continent and freshwater intrusion to seawater during the precipitation of Baluti carbonates. The low abundance of Cr, Ni, Co, and the Th/Sc, La/Sc, Cr/Th ratios indicate the felsic source rocks; this is confirmed by the slightly LREE enriched and flat HREE patterns and a slightly high average of (La/Yb)sn. Low authigenic U contents, U/Th ratios and slightly negative Ce anomalies suggest the Baluti carbonates were precipitated under oxic conditions and shale at Sarki section was influenced by suboxic conditions. The high Mg/Ca and low Sr/Ca ratios reflect shallow marine environments for Baluti carbonates with diagenetic effect especially in Sarki section. The Mn/Sr ratio implies the Sararu samples have higher degrees of preservation relative to Sarki. Most of REE contents in Sararu is attributed to the terrigenous origin, and the weak non-significant positive correlation of Si, Ti, and Al with REE content suggest little contribution in the Sarki and the biogenic carbonate from the seawater may play a role in the REE concentration. These carbonates possess non-seawater-like REE patterns with slightly LREE enrichment and HREE depletion, and characterized by –ve Ce*.

Mortization, Research and Development Expense, Unusual/Exceptional Item Relevance for Street Earnings
Authors: Ikhsan Pane Zulfikar
Published: July 2023

This study is motivated by the phenomenon of investors' concern when they saw earnings from companies prepared by accounting managers who have self-interest tendencies. As a result, investors may be misled in companies' assessments. Based on this phenomenon, this study helps investors to get the relevant value of earnings by eliminating three items in the income statement so it becomes a value known as street earnings. Street earnings are values that are generally generated by securities analysts. This value is the result of recalculation of accounting earnings excluding non-recurring items, wherein in this study, the items are amortization, research and development expenses, and unusual/exceptional items. This research focuses on the relevance of these three values especially unusual/exceptional items as a novelty. This relevance is calculated by looking at the strength of relations between three variables partially to year-end stock prices based on the value of R square. Secondary data used from manufacturing companies in Indonesia was obtained by the OSIRIS database from the 2015 - 2020 period. As a result, none of the three variables has strong relations with stock prices, which means three variables are irrelevant and should exclude in the calculation of street earnings to make street earnings relevant. The limitation of this study is research and development expense does not refer to companies specific activities, so irrelevant results does not mean research activities are useless. From these limitations, further research is comparisons of the relevance between the disclosure of research and development activities and research and development expense

This study was conducted to examine the effect of economic determinants on Capital Structure as measured by Profitability, Company Size, Company Growth, Asset Structure, Liquidity, Effective Tax Rate, Business Risk in LQ 45 Manufacturing Companies Listed on the IDX in the 2015 – 2019 Period. Used in this study was obtained from the Annual Report published to the public, either through the Indonesia Stock Exchange or the company's website. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling with a total sample of 135 samples. The data analysis technique used in this study is multiple linear regression analysis. Previously, the data has been tested with classical assumption testing, including descriptive analysis, chow test, Hausman test, LM test, data normality, heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity, and autocorrelation. During the observation period, it was shown that the research data were normally distributed. Based on the normality test, multicollinearity test, heteroscedasticity test, and autocorrelation test, no variables deviated from the classical assumptions. This shows that the available data has met the requirements using the multiple linear regression equation models. This study indicates that the variables of Company Size, Company Growth, Effective Tax Rate, and Business Risk do not show a significant effect on capital structure. Profitability, Asset Structure, and Liquidity variables significantly affect capital structure.
The Duolingo English Test and East Africa: Preliminary linking results with IELTS & CEFR
Authors: Bézy Michel , Settles Burr
Published: July 2023

We study the validity of the Duolingo English Test for high-stakes university admissions, using data from Carnegie Mellon University’s satellite campus in Rwanda. We find that Duolingo scores submitted during the 2015 application process are significantly correlated with IELTSTM scores (r = 0.834). We then link Duolingo test scores to the IELTS exam, with results that are consistent with previous research linking Duolingo scores to the TOEFL® iBT exam. Finally, we infer CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) levels from this linking, and find that they are consistent with the design of the Duolingo English Test scale.
The Reliability of the Duolingo English Test
Authors: Settles Burr
Published: July 2023

This study reports several reliability measures for the first operational year of the Duolingo English Test (DET). Our results show that during this time, the standard error of measurement (SEM) was stable across the score range, reliability and internal consistency coefficients were both 0.96, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.84. Repeat test-takers exhibited some practice effects, improving their score by 1–3 points on average, but the overall effect size (0.10) was small. These findings indicate that DET scores are reliable.

Authors:   Dainam University, Dung Dang Quynh
Published: July 2023

Social media platforms have emerged as global platforms for collaboration and interaction. This research aims to investigate the positive and negative influences of social media platforms on the learning behavior and educational environment of the CSL student community in Vietnam. The study focuses on exploring localized factors that significantly impact both the psychological well-being and academic performance of peers. Drawing upon the theoretical framework of Uses and Gratification theory (UGT), a quantitative research method was employed, involving students from the Department of Chinese Language and Culture at Dainam University, Vietnam. The findings indicate that, within the Vietnam context, the use of social media platforms has less positive impact as compared to negative impacts on the behavior of students towards Chinese language learning. Consequently, this study recommends making the students responsible for the use of online social media platforms, therefore, awareness campaigns, seminars, workshops, and media initiatives should be employed to mitigate the negative effects of social media and foster sustainable Chinese education in Vietnam.

Social media campaign has been changing the landscape of elections globally. In the 2022 Philippine electoral campaigns; massive number of messages, stories, and political marketing tactics online were used to persuade the electorate. Hence, the recent election has been the most social media-active and engaging campaign in the country’s democratic history. This paper evaluates the political message strategies of the two leading presidential bets, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Leni Robredo, who utilized social media heavily and served as their campaign battleground. Using a Qualitative Content Analysis of their posts and audience contents, selected materials were coded and analyzed. The study found Marcos to appeal to themes revolving around the concerns of the masses like agriculture and basic commodities. In contrast, Robredo appeared to be the more direct in addressing the policy needed to change the system of government to improve the services for everyone. This further argues that social media can persuade the electorate and involve them in co-creating content for them; thus, using an adequate platform for a specific message, either policy or non-policy related, should be planned strategically.

This study aims to determine the effect of Intellectual Capital, Funding Decisions, and Investment Decisions on Firm Value. The dependent variable in this study is Firm Value proxied by Tobin's Q model. The independent variables in this study are Intellectual Capital proxied by VAIC (Value Added Intellectual Capital), Funding Decisions proxied by DER (Debt to Equity Ratio), and Investment Decisions proxied by TAG (Total Asset Growth). The sample in this study are companies in the Telecommunications Sub-Sector for the 2014-2021 period. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, 4 companies were selected as research samples, from a total population of 10 companies. The results of the analysis show that Intellectual Capital (VAIC) has a positive and significant effect on firm value (Tobin's Q). This result illustrates that improving the quality of human resources in a company is very important and plays a role in efforts to increase firm value. Funding Decision (DER) has a negative and significant effect on firm value (Tobin's Q) this illustrates that investors are very sensitive to increased debt which can lead to debt default and increased bankruptcy risk. Investment decision (TAG) does not affect firm value (Tobin's Q). This situation illustrates that investment decisions as illustrated by asset growth are not a driving force for increasing firm value. This can be caused because if the asset is not productive, in the long term the accumulated value will be lower.

Published: July 2023

A principios de la década de 1990, la pesquería de merluza negra argentina ganó protagonismo gracias a la rápida expansión de las flotas de arrastre y palangre que se dirigían a esta especie. Esta zona de pesca cubre el talud y plataforma desde los 60° S hasta los 37° S en la Zona Económica Exclusiva argentina. El principal caladero se encuentra en la zona sur, colindando con las áreas marinas protegidas (AMP) Banco Namuncurá-Burdwood II (NBBII) y Yaganes (Y), establecidas en 2018. Para determinar el impacto que generan las AMP en la distribución del esfuerzo, se analizaron espacialmente 308 viajes de pesca realizados entre 2010 y 2020, que reportaron 82% del total del esfuerzo pesquero declarado de merluza negra argentina en ese período. El sector Y-AMP categorizado como Reserva Nacional Marina y ubicado al sur de Tierra del Fuego, reportó más de la mitad (58%) de la captura de merluza negra registrada durante ese período, mientras que el NBBII-AMP ubicado al este de Tierra del Fuego y sur de la Isla de los Estados representaron 17%. El sector NBBII-AMP establecido como Reserva Nacional Marina Estricta y ubicado al sur del Banco Burdwood representó el 25%. Con el establecimiento de las AMP se ha cumplido 7,11% del requerimiento internacional. En la actualidad, los efectos resultantes de la creación de AMP solo pueden especularse cualitativamente, pero deberían cuantificarse en un futuro próximo.

The involvement of companies in sponsorship has attract many audiences and achieve their objectives. This paper conceptualizes sport sponsorship and some factors such as attitude toward sponsor, sponsor-event fit, favourability and perceived ubiquity. Sponsors point of perspective have stated that the most useful signal in sports sponsorship is purchase intention. Purchase intention also seeing as the gesture of goodwill or element that will return the sponsor for supporting them. There are four factors used in measuring the purchase intention. It is including trust, reputation, familiarity, and intention. Hence, it is extremely important to explore sports sponsorship impact, its influencing aspects, and how to build a sports sponsorship with other measurement approach.
Assessment of vitamin D levels in children who admitted to pediatric outpatient clinics by age, gender and seasons in Şırnak province, Turkey
Authors: Tahiroğlu Veysel
Published: July 2023

Background and objective: This study purposes to designate the profile of 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] by evaluating the vitamin D levels of patients attending the pediatric outpatient clinics at the State Hospital in Şırnak, the second city in Turkey in terms of fertility. Methods: In the study, 4753 patients hospitalized at Şırnak State Hospital were enrolled, and their vitamin D levels were retrospectively examined. Throughout the research, vitamin D concentrations were assessed based on the patients’ gender, age, and seasonal variations. Serum vitamin D levels were categorized as severe deficiency at <12 ng/ml, mild-moderate deficiency at 12–20 ng/ml, and normal at 20–100 ng/ml. Results: The study analyzed the data of 2107 males and 2646 females. For boys and girls, the median serum vitamin D levels were 18.23 ng/ml and 22.42 ng/ml respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in vitamin D levels between different age groups in both genders (p<0.01). Vitamin D levels were at their lowest in winter and highest in summer for both genders, and statistically significant variations were observed across the seasons (p<0.01). The median vitamin D level was found to be 25.59 ng/ml in patients aged 0–5 years (n=2,272), 18.16 ng/ml in patients aged 6–12 years (n=1,580), and 13.40 ng/ml in patients aged 13–17 years (n=901). Conclusions: In this study, patients hospitalized at the Şırnak state hospital had severe vitamin D shortages and insufficiency. Vitamin D low levels are believed to be attributed to vitamin D synthesis’s lack due to inadequate wintertime sunshine, a lack of outside activities for kids in the area, or vitamin D-deficient foods. As a result of these findings, there is an increased need for supportive therapy.

Panchapatchi Sasthiram or five bird diagnostic methodology is one among the diagnostic methods that relies on the concept of Panchabootha theory. Panchaboothas are represented by five birds (Patchi) in Panchapatchi Sasthiram (five bird diagnostic sign) which helps in cost effective diagnosis of various diseases. Objective: To evaluate the representative Patchi & Humours associated with Madhumegam (Diabetes Mellitus) patients as per Panchapatchi Sasthiram (five bird diagnostic sign) during consultation. Materials & Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 100 Madhumegam patients reported in the OPD of Ayothidoss Pandithar hospital. Panchapatchi calculation is the methodology of identifying the relevant affected action corresponding to each bird which may be further correlated to identify the affected Panchabhootham and affected humour in turn based on the waxing and waning of moon. Results: According to Siddha text; Pithavatham, Vathapitham and Vathakabam are the predominant humours in madhumegam. Among 100 patients assessed by means of Panchapatchi sasthiram (five bird diagnostic sign), 32 patients had pithavatham, 26 patients had vathakabam, 14 patients had vathapitham, 18 patients had kabavatham, 5 patients had kabapitham, 5 patients had kabam and it is observed that 72% participants possessed where of Naadinadai (Estimated through Panchaptchi sasthiram (five bird diagnostic sign)) as per the madhumegam literature. Conclusion: The Naadinadai (pulse play) mentioned in the literature agrees more than 70% with that of Panchapatchi based estimation. Hence it is hypothesized that Panchapatchi sasthiram based humoral assessment can be further evaluated as it is found helpful in the estimation of Naadinadai in diabetes mellitus. More over by means of this tool we can diagnose a condition with contactless evaluation.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo geral investigar na literatura cientifica especializada as barreiras e estratégias na construção de uma assistência humanizada. Para o alcance do problema de pesquisa proposto utilizamos a metodologia de revisão bibliográfica narrativa. Enfocamos nas implicações para o paciente e sua família sem desconsiderar a importância da tríade da humanização: Equipe, usuário e gestão e suas corresponsabilidades, onde observamos que humanizar a assistência está para além da culpabilização da equipe, pois esta muitas vezes enfrenta relações precarizadas de trabalho, impactando na qualidade da assistência prestada. Ressaltamos a relevância de desenvolver mais estudos na área, que inter-relacione Clínica e Gestão no âmbito da humanização, e os impactos da dissociação destes elementos políticos e éticos.

Argumentación de la sentencia con enfoque de género en relación a la tutela judicial efectiva
Authors: Núñez Mariño Eliana Banessa , San Lucas Solórzano María Fernanda
Published: July 2023

El enfoque de género ha tomado fuerza dentro de la administración de justicia como mecanismo jurídico para eliminar las barreras entre mujeres y hombres, que, a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad, ha repercutido en el desarrollo social y convivencia pacífica. En este sentido, el objetivo del manuscrito es, determinar las principales características de la argumentación de la sentencia con enfoque de género para señalar su influencia en el derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva; los resultados de la investigación indican que uno de los hechos legales que propicia la desigualdad entre hombres y mujeres, es el acceso a la justicia, porque existen jueces que analizan los casos desde una perspectiva androcéntrica y no de género, de esta forma, se ha evidenciado que la guía para administración de justicia con perspectiva de género presentada por el Consejo de la Judicatura en el año 2018, es un documento incompleto, porque no establece aspectos que el juez debe considerar en la argumentación jurídica para elaborar las sentencias con perspectiva de género, hecho que obliga a implementar en la guía ciertos criterios jurídicos para que los jueces tengan directrices y elaboren resoluciones con perspectiva de género y garanticen la igualdad, no discriminación y la tutela judicial efectiva.
‘Each in the Calling to Which They are Called’
Authors: Joyce Stephen J.
Published: July 2023

This chapter examines the images of authority in the De XII abusiuis saeculi. It investigates how the treatise merged both hierarchical or vertical relationships with consensus or horizontal relationships between the orders. I argue that its author drew on scripture and Pauline ideas of justice to emphasize a sophisticated model balancing personal responsibility with the need for public correction. This model of authority potentially points to the influence of the Rule of Basil and may represent a profound change in the structuring of authority in seventh-century Ireland.
Canaan and the New World : Native Americans Engage the Legacy of Exclusionary Readings
Authors: Hof Eleonora
Published: July 2023

Contemporary Native Americans have to grapple with the exclusionary reading of the Hebrew Bible that aided the genocide against their ancestors. This contribution traces the roots of the identification of Native Americans with Canaan and outlines responses from contemporary native theologians and authors. Three areas of focus are suggested for a constructive engagement with this topic: to practise lament, to deconstruct church teachings on this topic, and to change our mission practices towards a decolonial praxis of mission. I conclude that it is necessary for contemporary readers to strongly distance themselves from violent readings that legitimize conquest in order to arrive at a truly decolonial reading of exclusionary texts.
The Pela as a Model for Inclusive Peacebuilding
Authors: Ririhena Simon
Published: July 2023

For centuries Muslim and Christian Pelas in the Moluccas were able to live peacefully alongside and with each other. The Pela is an intervillage blood covenant based on a common worldview, anchored in traditional Nunusaku or Ambon religion. It was this common origin and their interpersonal relationships, a loose form of horizontal syncretism between Christians and Muslims, that prevailed over religious differences. Despite the advent of civil war in 1999, pitting Muslim and Christian villages against each other, the majority of Moluccans believe that the Pela can promote cooperation between communities and different faith groups. In a polarized world we can learn from the meaning, limitations, and possibilities of the Pela alliance between Christians and Muslims in the Moluccas.

Authors: Dauranov I. N. , Ruzanov R. M.
Published: July 2023

Institutional and legal foundations are a key element in the system of state regulation of demographic processes in Kazakhstan. The purpose of the article is to identify the main factors influencing the process of natural reproduction of the population in our country and to assess the relevant institutional and legal framework. In the course of the study, the functional and structural methodology of the study of control systems was used, which is a set of methods that consider the objects of study as integral formations consisting of interconnected elements. Its tools make it possible to determine the structure and hierarchy of the institutional and legal foundations for regulating demographic and other processes, taking into account the forms of government and governance used. Then, on the basis of an institutional analysis of the content of regulatory legal documents, to assess their quality and the nature of the existing links between them, as well as to identify the problems that exist. The use of functional and structural methodology allowed us to establish that the process of natural reproduction of the population of Kazakhstan is mainly influenced by: a prosperous traditional family; an effective health care system; a sufficient level of wellbeing. As a result of the conducted research, the main trends and shortcomings of regulatory legal acts regulating the processes that affect the nature of the reproduction process of the population of our country were identified. Measures aimed at their elimination have been identified.
La prueba de las horas extraordinarias: ¿una sentencia gatopardista (o lampedusiana)?
Authors: Gorelli Hernández Juan
Published: July 2023

La sentencia comentada reitera uno de los problemas tradicionales del derecho del trabajo: la prueba de la realización de las horas extraordinarias. Dicho problema se agudiza con la introducción de la jornada irregular en nuestro sistema productivo; si bien pretende resolverse con el registro diario de jornada. La cuestión que se plantea en esta sentencia es, justamente, el problema de la ausencia de registro por parte de la empresa.

Authors: ŞEN Elif , ARSLAN Olcay
Published: July 2023

In this study, imputation methods used by IWGPS (*) organizations in CPI (Consumer Price Index) calculations in case of missing data are discussed. Depending on the development of technological devices, methods suitable for the demand of collecting data and producing statistics from the field immediately, in a way that can be adapted to the data collection tools of statistics offices have been proposed. While the immediate imputation advantages of the proposed methods are mentioned, the proposed imputation results are compared with the method results used in the current practice and imputation results of cellwise outlier and missing data in the statistical computer programming language. The method3(i_m üd19) proposed to assist the imputation tools used in CPI calculation all over the world and produced from the statistics is intended to provide convenience to all users. It can also be considered as a common weighted imputation method for both cellwise outlier and missing data case.

Authors: Usagi Maryanne Betsy , Onyango Benson , Muok Bernard , Omuketi William
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to determine the effect of solar powered milk cooling on the microbiological and physicochemical properties of milk. So far, information on impact of solar milk cooling on the microbiological and physicochemical properties of milk remains limited. Samples of uncooled (144) and milk cooled (144) using SPMCS were analyzed for changes in physicochemical and bacterial counts. Clot on boiling, alcohol test and pH were determined as physical components of milk. Chemical composition such as butter fat content, lactose, protein and density were also determined using a lactoscan. Bacterial counts were determined and expressed as colony forming units (cfu). All cooled milk samples were negative for both COB and alcohol test while 12.5 % and 22.2 % of the uncooled milk samples were positive for COB and alcohol test respectively. The pH of cooled (6.63) and uncooled milk (6.4) was significantly different. Similarly, cfu for cooled (5.8 log10 cfu/ml) and uncooled milk (6.4 log10 cfu/ml) samples were significantly different. Negative clot on boiling and alcohol test for cooled milk indicates the effectiveness of SPMCS in preserving milk quality. Slightly higher pH and low bacterial counts of cooled milk was as a result of reduced microbial activity due to low temperatures provided by SPMCS. The system was effective in preserving milk quality on transit thereby lowering losses incurred by farmers.
COURT PRECEDENT IN UZBEKISTAN: THE DOCTRINE OF LEGAL CERTAINTY AND STARE DECISION
Authors:   Tashkent State University of Law, Khodjayev Bakhshillo
Published: July 2023

This article discusses the prospects of applying court precedent in the circumstances of Uzbekistan. Comparative analysis and research were carried out on the examples of foreign legal systems belonging to the Anglo-Saxon and Romano-German legal families. In the Republic of Uzbekistan, the system of “written law” applies, and unlike the legal systems of the United Kingdom and the United States, this system of court precedent does not have legal significance; that is, a court decision made in a certain case does not have legal significance in another similar case. For this reason, the article analyzes the doctrines of court precedent and explains which legal doctrine can be used to introduce court precedent into the legal system of Uzbekistan, which belongs to the Romano-German legal family. In Germany and Russia, which are part of the Romano-Germanic legal family, like Uzbekistan, court precedent is not a law but a source of law that does not have a normative legal color after the law. Due to this, proposals and recommendations were made regarding the legal mechanisms for its implementation in our republic.
