Authors: GUOHE Qin
Published: October 2023

The strengthening of the processes of globalization and the aggravation of food supply problems for the world's population requires further development of the domestic agro-industrial complex and its integration into the world food system. It is essential to guarantee the stability and predictability of agrarian policy at the state level to create a more favorable business environment for the country's agrarian business. Achieving positive socio-economic effects of the functioning of competitive entrepreneurship is possible only in the presence of systemic support for its development, where the most important place is given to the state, which creates conditions for increasing the number of enterprises and ensuring their functioning with high economic efficiency and resource efficiency. State support of business entities is a system of measures. It means provided by law, which aims to form and ensure the effective functioning of the system of business entities. State regulation of the agrarian sector of the economy is carried out in the form of a set of measures in the agrarian sector through the economic influence of the state on the processes of production, processing, and sale of agricultural products, raw materials, and food to preserve the food security of the country and its regions, stabilize agro-industrial production and overcome sectoral disparities. Following the current legislation, support for business entities includes financial, property, informational, consulting support, support in training and advanced training of employees, and support in innovation and industrial production. The country's agrarian policy should be aimed at the development of competitive agricultural production through state interventions in agricultural products, setting domestic prices and customs tariffs in the interests of domestic producers, providing producers with material and technical resources for the production of agricultural products, and guaranteeing the country's food security.

Published: October 2023

This study aims to analyze the impact of financial ratios on stock returns in LQ 45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The four financial ratios examined are Return on Equity (ROE), Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Total Asset Turnover (TATO). Data were obtained from the financial statements of companies listed on the IDX during the period 2020-2022. The analysis method used was multiple linear regression. The results of the study show that Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) has a negative and significant impact on stock returns, while Return on Equity (ROE) has a positive and significant impact on stock returns. However, Total Asset Turnover (TATO) does not have a significant impact on stock returns. The simultaneous test results indicate that all four independent variables (CR, DER, ROE, and TATO) collectively have a significant impact on stock returns. This research provides theoretical benefits for academics in expanding their understanding of the impact of financial ratios on stock returns. Additionally, the findings of this study have practical implications for companies, investors, and prospective investors in making investment decisions in the capital market.

Published: October 2023

Die EU stand in jüngster Zeit vor erheblichen demografischen Herausforderungen und dies wird sich auch in Zukunft kaum ändern. Der Beitrag analysiert daher, warum und wie demografische Diskurse von illiberalen, rechten und konservativen Kräften übernommen wurden. Anhand von Twitter-Postings von Mitgliedern und politischen Parteien des Europäischen Parlaments zwischen 2015 und 2021 wird untersucht, i) wer die Hauptakteur*innen in Hinblick auf die Interpretation demografischer Trends sind, ii) welche Themen sie diskutieren und welche Erklärungsrahmen sie verwenden. Eine kritische Diskursanalyse dient dabei als analytisches Werkzeug. Somit ergänzt die vorliegende Studie den aktuellen Forschungsstand und präsentiert die erste quantitative Analyse historischer Twitter-Daten im Bereich demografiepolitischer Diskurse. Dabei zeigen die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der Twitter-Analyse: Die EU-Institutionen sind sich bewusst, dass der demografische Wandel in erster Linie durch die Bevölkerungsalterung, Migration und niedrige Geburtenraten verursacht wird. Zwar besteht unter allen EU-Akteur*innen Einigkeit darüber, dass die Bevölkerungsalterung eine große demografische Herausforderung darstellt, andere Trends hingegen bleiben nach wie vor umstritten oder werden nur vage erwähnt.
Experiencing B-Values on the Camino de Santiago: A Journey Toward Self-Actualization
Authors: Brumec Snežana
Published: October 2023

This research explores the transformation of individuals undertaking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. Employing a comprehensive approach, including qualitative and quantitative content analysis of 32 pilgrims' travel narratives and a survey encompassing 501 participants, we unveil a unique fusion of facts ("isness") and values ("oughtness") experienced by pilgrims throughout their journey. This fusion manifests as a moral-cognitive perception that everything in the world aligns with how it should be, aligning with Abraham Maslow's concept of "Being values."

These Being values represent the core of the self-actualization process and encompass notions of interconnectedness, unity, wholeness, simplicity, essentiality, just-rightness, spontaneity, effortlessness, benevolence, honesty, autonomy, and individuality. Our research findings demonstrate the impact of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage on individuals, resulting in an enhancement of self-actualization, as defined within the framework of humanistic psychology.

Anisogamy does not always promote the evolution of mating competition traits in males
Authors: Siljestam Mattias , Ivain Martinossi-Allibert Ivain
Published: October 2023

Anisogamy has evolved in most sexually reproducing multicellular organisms allowing the definition of the male and female sexes, producing small and large gametes. Anisogamy, as the initial sexual dimorphism, is a good starting point to understand the evolution of further sexual dimorphisms. For instance, it is generally accepted that anisogamy sets the stage for more intense mating competition in males than in females. We argue that this idea stems from a restrictive assumption on the conditions under which anisogamy evolved in the first place: the absence of sperm limitation (assuming that all female gametes are fertilized). Here, we relax this assumption and present a model that considers the coevolution of gamete size with a mating competition trait, starting in a population without dimorphism. We vary gamete density to produce different scenarios of gamete limitation. We show that, while at high gamete density the evolution of anisogamy always results in male investment in competition, gamete limitation at intermediate gamete densities allows for either females or males to invest more into mating competition. Our results thus suggest that anisogamy does not always promote mating competition among males. The conditions under which anisogamy evolves matter, as well as the competition trait.

The impact of climate change on the resilience of banking systems in selected Sub-Saharan economies
Authors: Amo-Bediako Emmanuel , Takawira Oliver , Choga Ireen
Published: October 2023

Climate change is seen as a peril to the overall financial system, yet this revelation is in its infant stage. On that note, this study investigates the impact of climate change shocks on banking system resilience in selected Sub-Saharan economies. The study relies on a quantitative research method by first employing a Generalized Auto Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) (1,1) model to forecast the volatility series of the climate change variables. Further, the study applies the panel ARDL model to disseminate the long- and short-term associations between the obtained conditional variances of climate change parameters and banking system resilience within a time frame of 1996-2017 for 29 selected economies. The results show that banking systems in SSA are resilient to temperature shocks in the long-term. However, the study finds that the banking systems in SSA are not resilient to both precipitation and greenhouse gas shocks in the long-term. For the short-term impact assessment, the study finds that banking systems in SSA are resilient to only precipitation shocks. The study concludes that banking sectors in SSA should vigorously conduct stress-testing on climate-related financial risks and also design forward-looking strategies as well as climate change risk management procedures in the wake of climate change events.
Numerical Analysis to Investigate the Impact of Skirt Geometric Parameters on Secondary Piston Movement in a Single-cylinder Diesel Engine
Authors: Menacer Brahim , Narayan Sunny , Bouchetara Mostefa , Khatir Tawfiq , Urbina Coronado Pedro Daniel
Published: October 2023

Currently, modern internal combustion engines are receiving great attention due to their efficiency, particularly in response to the increasing limits imposed by environmental and emission legislation. Sound emissions of internal combustion engines are mainly caused by three sources of noise: combustion, mechanical and aerodynamic flow. The secondary motion of the piston plays a crucial role in the analysis of performance, noise, vibration and reliability of internal combustion engine (ICE). In the presented article, a mathematical simulation model has been developed by using of the GT-Suite software to study the rotational and lateral motion of the piston (called secondary motion) as well as the piston slap in ICE. This model takes into account the effect of variation in the major geometric parameters of the skirt design, such as the piston pin offset (P.P.O) and the length of the skirt. Furthermore, a combined model that accounts for the interplay between the secondary dynamics of the piston and the dynamic fluid lubrication has been developed. This model utilizes a mixed lubrication approach for the purpose of simulation. The results of this simulation have demonstrated that the variations in length of the skirt and the P.P.O have a considerable effect on piston secondary motion and tribological performances, and that the lateral motion of the piston is significantly influenced by the piston side force, which plays a crucial role in this behavior.

Authors: Arju Susanto  , Zeffry Alkatiri
Published: October 2023

The Betawi language, like other languages in the world, is in danger of extinction caused by many things, including the dynamics of civilization. This situation threatens many contexts of indigenous Betawi culture and civilization. Therefore, the maintenance and preservation of the Betawi language is a necessity that must be carried out. The problem is the breadth of the Betawi text and linguistic context. For this reason, it is necessary to formulate an approach strategy that is more focused on what are the main factors that must be studied from the impact of damage and the endangerment of the Betawi language on the Betawi people themselves. This study formulates these factors by conducting research and field testing for more than 1 year of intensive observation 24 hours a day. Sociological qualitative analysis in particular observing the social assessment of society is the most effective method found during this research process. As a result, at least 5 segments were found that must be studied to see the impact of damage and the endangerment of the Betawi language, namely linguistic factors, personal identity, communication between generations, transfer of knowledge and knowledge, and economics.

Published: October 2023

The mass media are formidable forces in creating social realities in conflict situations and represent selectively these realities through the process of news framing. Within this context, this study examines newspaper reportage of cult related activities in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State. The objectives of the study are to determine the degree of prominence given to the cult related stories in Emohua Local Government Area, and to ascertain how cult related stories are being framed and reported by Nigerian newspapers. The study anchors on the theoretical premise of Media Framing Theory. The study employs quantitative content analysis. The population of this study is limited to the publications of three national newspapers in Nigeria; The Punch, The Guardian and The Nation. The period covered is from June 1st 2021 to April 30th 2022. Within these eleven months, these newspapers had three hundred and thirty five (335) publications apiece making a total of one thousand and five (1005) publications. Purposive sampling was employs while the unit of analysis for this study consisted of news stories, editorials, advertorials, columns/opinions, interviews, feature stories and others focusing on cultism as published by the three newspapers being studied. These newspapers were chosen due to their ownership structure, area of coverage and frequency of publication. The findings reveal that cult related stories were not given prominence as was supposed to be. The study concludes that one challenge that will continue to confront the journalist as well as the media in general is the level of attention to be given to societal violence.

The issue of sentencing minors for criminal behavior persistently garners widespread public attention, stemming from the acknowledgement that children, too, can engage in illicit activities. Within the Indonesian context, juvenile punishment is formally governed by Act 11 of 2012, which outlines the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. This normative study aspires to scrutinize and answer two primary research questions, which are 1)To what extent does the existing stipulation in Act 11 of 2012, concerning the duration of incarceration for minors convicted of serious offenses, adhere to recognized principles of justice and accomplish the intended goals of the sentencing? and 2)What ideal legislative provisions should be adopted or revised pertaining to the length of incarceration for juveniles guilty of severe crimes in order to align with just principles and effectively fulfill the objectives of sentencing in future implementations? While the study maintains that the welfare and psychological well-being of children must be safeguarded against the adverse effects of detention, it simultaneously argues that equal consideration must be extended to the grievances and trauma experienced by the victims of juvenile crimes.

Authors: Pal Bikash , Md Shafiullah Abu Zar
Published: October 2023

The Government of Bangladesh is very much aware of controlling excessive birth rate to maintain population problem. Though Bangladesh is owning self-sufficiency in many sectors, the increasing population is a great impediment for the development of the country. So, promoting different contraceptive methods is of much importance. This work aims at identifying the important determinants that affect the long-acting and permanent methods (LAPM) of contraception. Firstly, chi-square test of association is carried out for defining the correlates of LAPM of contraception using Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), 2017-18 data. For estimating the effects of each controlled independent variables, data are further analyzed within a multivariate framework. To obtain consistent and efficient estimates of parameters of interest, multinomial logistic regression model is used in this work. The study finds several socio-economic and demographic variables having high impact on using LAPM. The study findings are properly discussed and recommendations are made accordingly for the policy makers.

Preparation and Characterization of Carbon Doped ZnO and Its Effectiveness as Photocatalyst under Visible Light
Authors: Zaman Mahbuba , Akter Nasrin , Rahman Md Ataur , Hossain Md Mufazzal
Published: October 2023

Carbon-doped ZnO (C-ZnO) was prepared and characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX and FT-IR spectroscopy. The substitution of oxygen in the lattice of ZnO by carbon greatly extends its optical sensitivity in the visible light due to the band gap’s shrinkage, which promotes the effectiveness of electron-hole separation. SEM images showed that the surface of C-ZnO catalyst is different from that of undoped ZnO. Analysis of the elements present in the sample was done by EDX which affirms that the prepared sample contains Zn, O and C atoms. The existence of ZnO as wurtzite is confirmed by XRD analysis exhibiting little deviation of the peak position due to the presence of carbon in substitutional sites. FT-IR analysis also supports these results. Under visible light irradiation, the prepared C-ZnO shows better photocatalytic efficiency on methylene blue (MB) than un-doped ZnO. The optimum photodegradation efficiency of MB has been observed when 2 percent C-doped ZnO obtained at 300˚C calcination temperature.

Authors: Rahman Tareq , Rayhan Md Israt
Published: October 2023

The financial value of money and the overall stability of an economy are significantly impacted by inflation. To investigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war on constant inflation rates in South and Southeast Asian countries between January 2019 and December 2022, this research utilizes monthly inflation rate data from the International Monetary Fund. Autoregressive integrated moving average modeling and prediction of inflation rates and the Bai-Perron method to estimate the structural breakdown of monthly inflation rate series are employed. Graphical methods and theoretical tests are used to diagnose the models, and the Chow test is utilized to assess structural breakdown in the monthly inflation rate series. The findings indicate that the Russia-Ukraine war since February 2022 has a more significant impact on the selected countries than the COVID-19 pandemic during January 2020 to December 2021.

Bullying terus menjadi masalah yang memprihatinkan bagi siswa di sekolah-sekolah seluruh dunia. Bullying adalah subtipe dari perilaku agresif, di mana seseorang atau sekelompok individu berulang kali berusaha untuk menyerang, mempermalukan, dan atau mengucilkan orang yang relatif tidak berdaya. Perilaku bullying juga tidak hanya berhenti di dalam lingkungan sekolah namun sampai terjadi di dunia maya yang sering disebut dengan istilah cyberbullying atau pelecehan dunia maya. Bentuk agresi ini melibatkan penggunaan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi seperti ponsel, kamera video, email, dan halaman web untuk mengirim pesan yang melecehkan atau mempermalukan orang lain. Selain itu platform berupa sosial media yang saat ini digemari oleh banyak orang menjadi alat atau sarana di dalam melancarkan perilaku cyberbullying.
Constructive evolution and the emergence of complex cells
Authors:   , von der Dunk Samuel Hermann Alexander
Published: October 2023

The octopus is an incredibly complex organism that learns hunting strategies, displays social behaviors and memorizes its local environment. To see how evolution gave rise to octopuses, we have to understand how evolution constructs new functions, structures and behaviors. In many cases, new functions – like the ability to learn – emerge from an ensemble of smaller components – such as neurons – which initially arose for another purpose – say muscle coordination.
One of the largest leaps in evolutionary biology was the origin of complex cells, eukaryotes, which involved many innovations at the cellular and genomic level. An important step in the origin of eukaryotes was an endosymbiosis (a merger) between two cells and their genetic material, giving rise to the mitochondrial and nuclear compartments. We designed a computer model to study if and how the merger between two simple cells can drive the evolution of complexity and found that cells in endosymbiosis indeed evolve greater complexity. The reason for this is that selection for fast growth, which precludes high levels of complexity in free-living cells, is weakened in endosymbiosis due to the appearance of new functional constraints. Specifically, cells in endosymbiosis also have to coordinate their growth to be successful, since one cell growing faster than its partner impedes the symbiotic relationship.
Using our model and bioinformatic analyses, we show how complexity (could have) emerged before, during and after the origin of eukaryotes. Our results show that evolution is an incredibly creative process, allowing organisms to adapt to many different challenges, and that some of these challenges may in fact be responsible for the evolution of complex organisms, eventually giving rise to such fascinating creatures as birds, octopuses and humans.
