Challenges and Barriers of Building Information Modeling Adoption in the Saudi Arabian Construction Industry
Authors: Al-Hammadi Mohammed A. , Tian Wei
Published: July 2020

Background:

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) revolution can provide a solution for problems in the Saudi Arabian construction industry and improve its outcomes. Though this technology is increasingly and rapidly adopted in advanced countries, developing countries such as Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (GCC) are still in the early stages of BIM adoption.

Objective:

This study investigates the current state of BIM technology adoption by exploring and analyzing the critical challenges and barriers to BIM technology utilization in the construction sectors.

Methods:

The quantitative approach is adopted via a survey questionnaire distributed to participants in the field of construction projects in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. A total of 228 questionnaires are collected and analyzed using the statistical packaging for social science software.

Results:

Findings show that several significant barriers negatively affect the utilization of BIM. The major barriers to BIM adoption are related to the lack of demand, lack of experts, and poor awareness of BIM benefits, which have relative importance indexes of (RII = 89.910), (RII = 88.475), and (RII = 87.130), respectively. Meanwhile, unspecified data responsibilities, difficulty of learning BIM, lack of data sharing, and sufficient current technology constitute the lowest-ranking barriers with their relative importance indexes of (RII = 71.704), (RII = 70.807), (RII = 66.413), and (RII = 65.874), respectively.

Conclusion:

The findings of this study are highly significant and can become more helpful and interesting if further research can measure the methodologies to implement BIM technology in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Is Distribution a Problem in Iron-Folic Acid Consumption in India? An Exploration of District Level Household Survey
Authors: Halli Shiva S. , Biradar Rajeshwari A.
Published: July 2020

Aims:

Anemia accounts for 40% of maternal deaths in India. In order to address this problem, the Government of India implemented the largest programme with the greatest potential to reduce maternal mortality by free distribution of Iron-Folic Acid (IFA) supplementations especially during Antenatal Care (ANC) visits. But the major concern among the policymakers and researchers has been poor adherence to the supplement among pregnant women. However, we tend to think that given the severity of the problem, there is no investigation on the adherence issue. Hence, the aim of the paper is to understand whether IFA consumption by pregnant women in India is largely a distribution problem of IFA supplements through ANC.

Background:

The distribution of Iron-Folic Acid (IFA) supplementation is not working especially through Antenatal Care (ANC) attendance. The program implementers believe that it is because of lack of adherence to IFA supplements by pregnant women. It is important to investigate the problem before any policy changes are made without proper evidence.

Objectives:

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the problem of IFA consumption by pregnant women is due to the problem of public distribution of IFA supplements through ANC attendance.

Methods:

This study had used the fourth round of District Level Household Survey data, which collects information on IFA supplements, their distribution and consumption. Bivariate and tri-variate analyses were used to understand the relationship between IFA distribution to pregnant women and their consumption patterns in 19 Indian states and two Union Territories (UTs) of pregnant women (88,487) and between the age of 15-49 years.

Results:

In almost all the states except Chhattisgarh, more than 75% of the pregnant women consumed 100 or more IFA supplements when they received 100 or more IFA supplements from providers. Similar is the case even among those women who received 100 or more IFA supplements through 1 or 2 ANC attendance except Arunachal Pradesh (60%), Meghalaya (67%), Pondicherry (57%) and Andaman and Nicobar (0%). The consumption of IFA supplements among pregnant women gets better than 75% if they receive 100 or more supplements only after attending three or more ANCs.

Conclusion:

It seems that distribution is a problem in the consumption of IFA supplements by pregnant women in India. Full antenatal attendance by the women could be part of the problem but not supplying at least 100 IFA supplementations to even those who attend ANC due to stock-outs and ineffective management is a serious concern. Hence, Governments should distribute at least the recommended 100 IFA supplements to the women in their 1st ANC attendance to address anaemia.

The results of study of shifts of X-ray Kα and Kß lines of manganese and copper obtained for CuO, MnO, Mn3O4 and MnO2 oxide nanoparticles (relative to the corresponding massive materials) are presented. Oxide nanoparticles were synthesized in the pores of borosilicate glasses with an average pore diameter of 7±1 nm from the corresponding nitrates introduced into the pores by capillary impregnation. It was found, that for nanocomposites with CuO and Mn3O4 there is a small (about ~0.1 el./atom) increase in the role of 3d electrons in the chemical bonds. On the contrary, for nanocomposites with MnO2 the role of these electrons has an opposite trend.

The method of the study of the polarization switching processes in ferroelectrics by an external electric field using synchronous measurement of an electric impedance and piezoelectric response is described. Using the developed technique, the switching processes in the electric field-induced ferroelectric phase (FE) of lead magnoniobate are studied. It is shown that, upon the initial occurrence of the SE phase, a multidomain structure with a weak piezoelectric response is formed. A change in the direction of the external field leads to polarization switching, and the switching process passes through an intermediate glassy phase. raining a sample by repeated switching leads to a sharp increase in the piezoelectric response, which can be attributed to the formation of a single-domain state.
Antivaccine Messages on Facebook: Preliminary Audit
Authors: Dhaliwal Dhamanpreet , Mannion Cynthia
Published: July 2020

Background

The World Health Organization lists vaccine hesitancy as one of 10 threats to global health. The antivaccine movement uses Facebook to promote messages on the alleged dangers and consequences of vaccinating, leading to a reluctance to immunize against preventable communicable diseases.

Objective

We would like to know more about the messages these websites are sharing via social media that can influence readers and consumers. What messages is the public receiving on Facebook about immunization? What content (news articles, testimonials, videos, scientific studies) is being promoted?

Methods

We proposed using a social media audit tool and 3 categorical lists to capture information on websites and posts, respectively. The keywords “vaccine,” “vaccine truth,” and “anti-vax” were entered in the Facebook search bar. A Facebook page was examined if it had between 2500 and 150,000 likes. Data about beliefs, calls to action, and testimonials were recorded from posts and listed under the categories Myths, Truths, and Consequences. Website data were entered in a social media audit template.

Results

Users’ posts reflected fear and vaccine hesitancy resulting from the alleged dangers of immunization featured on the website links. Vaccines were blamed for afflictions such as autism, cancer, and infertility. Mothers shared testimonies on alleged consequences their children suffered due to immunization, which have influenced other parents to not vaccinate their children. Users denied the current measles outbreaks in the United States to be true, retaliating against the government in protests for fabricating news.

Conclusions

Some Facebook messages encourage prevailing myths about the safety and consequences of vaccines and likely contribute to parents’ vaccine hesitancy. Deeply concerning is the mistrust social media has the potential to cast upon the relationship between health care providers and the public. A grasp of common misconceptions can help support health care provider practice.
Prediction of the Transition From Subexponential to the Exponential Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Chennai, India: Epidemic Nowcasting
Authors: Krishnamurthy Kamalanand , Ambikapathy Bakiya , Kumar Ashwani , Britto Lourduraj De
Published: July 2020

Background

Several countries adopted lockdown to slowdown the exponential transmission of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic. Disease transmission models and the epidemic forecasts at the national level steer the policy to implement appropriate intervention strategies and budgeting. However, it is critical to design a data-driven reliable model for nowcasting for smaller populations, in particular metro cities.

Objective

The aim of this study is to analyze the transition of the epidemic from subexponential to exponential transmission in the Chennai metro zone and to analyze the probability of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) secondary infections while availing the public transport systems in the city.

Methods

A single geographical zone “Chennai-Metro-Merge” was constructed by combining Chennai District with three bordering districts. Subexponential and exponential models were developed to analyze and predict the progression of the COVID-19 epidemic. Probabilistic models were applied to assess the probability of secondary infections while availing public transport after the release of the lockdown.

Results

The model predicted that transition from subexponential to exponential transmission occurs around the eighth week after the reporting of a cluster of cases. The probability of secondary infections with a single index case in an enclosure of the city bus, the suburban train general coach, and the ladies coach was found to be 0.192, 0.074, and 0.114, respectively.

Conclusions

Nowcasting at the early stage of the epidemic predicts the probable time point of the exponential transmission and alerts the public health system. After the lockdown release, public transportation will be the major source of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in metro cities, and appropriate strategies based on nowcasting are needed.

Authors: Gurgel-Juarez Nalia , Perrier Marie-France , Hoffmann Tammy , Lannin Natasha , Jolliffe Laura , Lee Rachel , Brosseau Lucie , Flowers Heather
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Oral care is important to prevent buccal and systemic infections after an acquired brain injury (ABI). Despite recent advancements in the development of ABI clinical practice guidelines, recommendations for specific clinical processes and actions to attain adequate oral care often lack information.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review will (1) identify relevant ABI clinical practice guidelines and (2) appraise the oral care recommendations existing in the selected guidelines.

METHODS

A search strategy was developed based on a recent systematic review of clinical practice guidelines for ABI. The protocol includes a search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and DynaMed Plus databases, as well as organizational and best-practice websites and reference lists of accepted guidelines. Search terms will include medical subject headings and user-defined terms. Guideline appraisal will involve the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II ratings, followed by a descriptive synopsis for oral care recommendations according to the National Health and Medical Research Council evidence levels.

RESULTS

This project started in April 2019, when we developed the search strategy. The preliminary search of databases and websites yielded 863 and 787 citations, respectively, for a total of 1650 citations. Data collection will start in August 2020 and we expect to begin disseminating the results in May 2021.

CONCLUSIONS

Nursing staff may not have detailed recommendations on how to provide oral care for neurologically impaired patients. The findings of this review will explore the evidence for oral care in existing guidelines and improve outcomes for patients with ABI. We expect to provide adequate orientations to clinicians, inform policy and guidelines for best practices, and contribute to future directions for research in the ABI realm.

Accessibility of evacuation routes in the multi-storey building is an important thing to notice. The number of floors and rooms in multi-storey buildings which are too many often makes the building users have difficulty, especially for users who do not know the ins and outs of the building well. Not only the difficulty in finding evacuation routes to exit the building quickly in emergency times, but also to find a certain room during normal times. Nowadays, the Network Analysis capabilities in Geographic Information System (GIS) have become more reliable, even able to accommodate 3 Dimensional aspect (3D) which is often known as 3D Network Analysis. Therefore, this research intends to apply 3D Network Analysis for developing the navigation and evacuation management system in the KLMB (Klinik Lingkungan dan Mitigasi Bencana) Building Faculty of Geography UGM which has 6 floors. Generally, the implementation of this research can be divided into 4 main stages, namely Data Collection Stage, 3D Network Dataset Preparation Stage, 3D Network Analysis Implementation Stage, and Test & Evaluation Stage. Through application of the 3D Network Analysis, this research successfully obtained a navigation and evacuation management system in the ArcScene (ArcGIS) software environment which is quite effective and easy to use to help navigation and determination of the fastest evacuation route in the KLMB building. This system can also be used to help the evacuation simulation as a form of disaster mitigation in the KLMB Building.
Interpretasi Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) untuk Pendugaan Air Tanah Dangkal pada Formasi Gunungapi Muda

Published: July 2020

Aquifers or groundwater saturated areas in the slope morphology of Merapi volcano are relatively thin due to massive rock outcrops above the surface. Because these massive igneous rocks dominate the local geological appearance, the groundwater potential on the upper foot slope is relatively lower than the lower one that has thicker aquifer materials (sand). This study was designed to investigate the thickness of potential groundwater and identify the aquifer materials by geoelectrical methods using the Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) configuration. ERT has several advantages, including its ability to present multi-log lithology vertically and produce a more detailed surface appearance. In this study, rock resistivity values were measured with a survey line stretching across 250 m. The geoelectrical imaging produced actual values (potential values) of the rock resistivities through the matching curve and inversion techniques. Afterward, the actual resistivities were matched with the standard electrical resistivity of rocks and their respective hydrogeological characteristics, i.e., the capacity to store and transmit water. Interpretation on rock resistivities detected groundwater at a depth of 0.5-12 m in Manisrenggo. This shallow aquifer has an impermeable layer composed of igneous rocks, which are massive breccia, that lie in one layer of sand. According to the Groundwater Basin Map, these rock formations are part of the Karanganyar-Boyolali Groundwater Basin. The shallow aquifers and hydraulic gradient lead to the emergence of seeps or flushes on the soil surface.

Dyes, typically available in textile and paper industries, can cause an aesthetical issue in their wastewater stream even in its low concentration Some colors are considered toxic to the environment and even carcinogenic. In that sense, the adsorption using chitosan, might be an alternative method offering better environmental quality by its capability for eliminating the dyes from the waste stream. This research was aimed to study the adsorption kinetics of methyl orange dyes in the presence of chitosan microcapsules, employing the measurement of concentration concerning time over several measured temperatures of 40, 50, and 60 °C. Chitosan microcapsules originated from abundantly available organic materials, have been synthesized by the support of potassium persulfate as a cross-linker through ionic gelation and solvent evaporation method. The microcapsules were subjected to Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterizations, while UV-Vis was utilized for observing dye concentration changes. The results showed that chitosan microcapsules had been successfully prepared with a deacetylation degree of 53.92 % and a grain diameter of 1246 μm. The adsorption adapted the chemisorption mechanism with endothermic behavior. Besides, its kinetics seemed to follow the Lagergren pseudo-second-order equation with the value of the kinetic constant suitable for the tested temperature, following the Arrhenius equation. A B S T R A KZat pewarna yang banyak ditemukan di industri tekstil dan kertas, cenderung menyebabkan masalah estetika dalam aliran air limbah meskipun dalam jumlah rendah.

Published: July 2020

Background and objectives

Little is known about the burden of adverse drug reactions in CKD. We estimated the incidence of overall and serious adverse drug reactions and assessed the probability of causation, preventability, and factors associated with adverse drug reactions in patients seen by nephrologists.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

The Chronic Kidney Disease-Renal Epidemiology and Information Network cohort included 3033 outpatients (65% men) with CKD and eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, with follow-up for 2 years. Adverse drug reactions were identified from hospitalization reports, medical records, and participant interviews and finally assessed for causality, preventability, and immediate therapeutic management by experts in pharmacology.

Results

Median (interquartile range) age was 69 (60–76) years old; 55% had eGFR≥30 ml/min per 1.73 m2, and 45% had eGFR<30 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Participants were prescribed a median (range) of eight (five to ten) drugs. Over 2 years, 536 patients had 751 adverse drug reactions, 150 (in 125 participants) classified as serious, for rates of 14.4 (95% confidence interval, 12.6 to 16.5) and 2.7 (95% confidence interval, 1.7 to 4.3) per 100 person-years, respectively. Among the serious adverse drug reactions, 32% were considered preventable or potentially preventable; 16 caused death, directly or indirectly. Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (15%), antithrombotic agents (14%), and diuretics (10%) were the drugs to which the most adverse drug reactions were imputed, but antithrombotic agents caused 34% of serious adverse drug reactions. The drug was discontinued in 71% of cases, at least temporarily. Adjusted hazard ratios for serious adverse drug reaction were significantly higher in patients with eGFR<30 versus ≥30 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (1.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.3 to 2.6), in those prescribed more than ten versus less than five medications (2.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.1 to 5.2), or in those with poor versus good adherence (1.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.4 to 2.4).

Conclusions

Adverse drug reactions are common and sometimes serious in patients with CKD. Many serious adverse drug reactions may be preventable. Some specific pharmacologic classes, particularly antithrombotic agents, are at risk of serious adverse drug reactions.

Design of an adaptive nonsingular terminal sliding mode using supervisory fuzzy for the output voltage control of a buck converter
Authors: Badfar Ehsan , Abdollahi Rohollah
Published: July 2020

The buck converter is widely utilized in various applications such as solar chargers, electrical vehicles and space exploration. The use of an efficient controller in buck converters reduces the heat and losses, extends the useful life, and allows for smaller gadgets to be built. In this research, a novel technique is proposed to regulate the output voltage of the buck converter. For this purpose, the mathematical model of the converter is introduced. Next, the adaptive sliding mode is suggested to regulate the output voltage. In order to ensure the faster transient response and finite-time convergence, the terminal sliding mode control is suggested. The singularity problem is solved by using nonsingular terminal sliding mode control. The switching gain is adaptively scheduled according to the fuzzy logic system. Finally, some simulation results including the parametric uncertainties, measurement noise, and steady-state error analysis are illustrated to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed controller.

Authors: Nwosu Cajethan , Isiorhovoja Akpevwe , Ogbuka Cosmas , Anyaka Boniface
Published: July 2020

In this paper, a density based auto traffic light control system with GSM based remote override is designed and implemented to in particular, eliminate the usual conflicting authority between the green light for the motorists/pedestrians and emergency vehicles and in general reduce very long queues of vehicular traffics at the cross-road junctions in Enugu Metropolis. Three PIC 16F877A microcontrollers, one each specifically dedicated for intelligent allocation of right of way based on vehicle densities sensing, allotting of due passage duration time, and overriding feature for emergency cases, is proposed and implemented. The traffic override is either performed by the pressure switches for density detections or the GSM module for emergency cases at any given time. The GSM remote overriding authority may be vested only on the emergency vehicle operators to override the set timing of the traffic light control system in the event of emergencies to eliminate traffic logjams and possible fatalities.

Published: July 2020

Social media data has become popular resources for various research topic such as public health. One of the popular research directions is to use social media data to detect if there is an epidemic disease emerging in a certain area. This paper presents a framework for mapping the emergence of disease in Indonesia using data from Twitter. The framework is built upon several methods which consist of classification using SVM, clustering using K-Means, and a named-entity recognizer to extract location names. Our research successfully identifies tweets indicating disease emergence and generates a relatively accurate map visualization. Thus, we believe that using Twitter may help Indonesia government officials to get an overview of the spread of disease in Indonesia in a relatively short time.

En la actualidad se están desarrollando diferentes debates y discusiones en torno a la justicia social y la pertinencia de una perspectiva crítica de la educación, que contribuya a la emancipación del alumnado. O en otras palabras, a sus posibilidades de comprender las ideologías que hay detrás de las diferentes marcas o sentidos hegemónicos en la sociedad, como por ejemplo, capitalismo y patriarcado en la Educación Física. En este sentido, el objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre algunas de las barreras socioculturales que dificultan el desarrollo de una Educación Física Crítica, con énfasis en la situación de Chile. Entre las barreras, destacan algunas ideologías políticas, los organismos nacionales e internacionales que se vinculan a la educación, algunos docentes, parte de la ciudadanía y los medios masivos de comunicación. Finalmente, se considera que el panorama para desarrollar un currículo crítico es complejo, pero es posible realizar acciones pedagógicas orientadas a la transformación social.

This paper looks at the Acehnese women's movement in helping to respect women's work in the grassroots community. This effort was carried out to give recognition and appreciation for women who have dedicated themselves to upholding women's human rights in Aceh, because there are still many people who do not yet know the humanitarian work they have done. The women who were nominated were those who worked since the time of the conflict until now. This voluntary work they do without financial support on a regular basis from the government, although some of them are listed as volunteers in their respective city P2TP2A. The types of cases they handle vary, from domestic violence cases to women's empowerment and society. This research was conducted in the Banda Aceh, Bener Meriah and Central Aceh regions.

A INSERÇÃO DA ÁFRICA SUBSAARIANA NO SISTEMA CAPITALISTA CONTEMPORÂNEO: uma leitura à luz da teoria de Rosa Luxemburgo
Authors: Calvete Cássio Da Silva , Lopes Joana Soares Cordeiro
Published: July 2020

O presente artigo busca analisar a teoria da acumulação primitiva continuada de Rosa Luxemburgo e sua utilização para análise da África Subsaariana nos dias de hoje. Com a entrada do século XXI, constata-se um renovado interesse das grandes potências em relação às riquezas e aos mercados daquela região. Essa nova corrida ocorre em função da possibilidade de acumulação de capital que o ambiente africano ainda hoje proporciona. A partir do estudo das suas relações comerciais e estruturas produtivas, constata-se que o continente é ainda externamente dependente e subjugado ao mercado global como, em geral, mero exportador de bens primários, dinâmica na qual se mantém as relações imperialistas com o centro capitalista. Busca-se com esse artigo, portanto, verificar a hipótese de que a teoria de Rosa Luxemburgo pode ser aproximada ao caso africano nos dias de hoje e classificar em qual dos três estágios propostos pela autora se encontra a África Subsaariana: economia natural, mercantil ou capitalista.

O papel da mulher na Comunidade remanescente do Quilombo de Fojo e sua relação com a natureza
Authors: Carmo Maria Edinalva De Oliveira , Ferreira Maria de Fátima De Andrade
Published: July 2020

Este artigo é parte de uma pesquisa de Mestrado em Ciências Ambientais que investigou “A relação mulher-natureza na Comunidade Remanescente do Quilombo de Fojo, Itacaré – BA”, através da abordagem descritiva e análise quantitativa e qualitativa de dados (KÖCHE, 2000; SANTOS, 2002), buscando aprofundamento teórico para tratar de relações de gênero (LOURO, 2011; SCOTT, 1989), gênero e meio ambiente (CASTRO e ABRAMOVAY, 2005) e a importância do papel da mulher na organização cotidiana das comunidades tradicionais, inclusive de remanescentes de quilombos (COSTA e PINTO, 2015). Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram mulheres e homens da Comunidade de Fojo que decidiram pela participação, utilizando entrevistas semiestruturadas, observação direta e sistemática e conversas informais, em profundidade, realizadas entre 2014-2015. O recorte aqui apresentado tem por objetivo discutir o papel da mulher na comunidade do quilombo de Fojo e sua relação com a natureza. Os resultados indicam relações desiguais entre homens e mulheres na comunidade, às mulheres têm sido designado papel/posição, modos de cuidar da família, ficam responsáveis em “trazer harmonia e paz para o lar”, “cuidar e ser dona de casa”, cabendo a elas a área pertencente a do privado – a casa, alguns serviços na roça e a participação na igreja evangélica, deixando a tradição esquecida. A relação mulher-natureza, ao que parece, indica práticas agrícolas equivocadas e, ao que tudo indica, o conhecimento dos moradores sobre a agricultura ainda é tímido, demonstram fragilidades de técnicas empregadas, falta recursos à implementação de ferramentas adequadas, ausência de assistência técnica especializada e conhecimentos por parte dos produtores de técnicas básicas de produção.  Palavras-chave: Relação Mulher-Natureza. Mulher Quilombola. Sustentabilidade
QUILOMBOS: escravidão e resistência
Authors: Fonsêca Humberto José , Silva Zoraide Portela
Published: July 2020

O Brasil foi um dos maiores traficantes de africanos destinados à escravidão nas Américas; e a Bahia um dos seus principais destinos. Porém, juntamente com a escravidão, os africanos trouxeram também a rebelião. Uma das principais formas de negação da escravidão pela revolta trazida pelos negros africanos às Américas foi o quilombo. O artigo discute as mudanças ocorridas na literatura histórica sobre a escravidão e suas formas de negação após o centenário da abolição, em 1988. O quilombo de Palmares surgido no interior de Alagoas em finais do século XIV, veio a se constituir, durante o século XVII, no maior e mais bem organizado quilombo das Américas. Visto de formas diferentes pela historiografia ao longo do tempo, Palmares acabou por se transformar, no imaginário dos explorados de todos os matizes e dos negros de forma especial, num dos maiores símbolos de liberdade e de resistência a qualquer forma de exploração, opressão e discriminação.

Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions and duality for multiobjective semi-infinite programming with equilibrium constraints
Authors: Le Thanh
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this paper is to study multiobjective semi-infinite programming with equilibrium constraints. Firstly, the necessary and sufficient Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions for multiobjective semi-infinite programming with equilibrium constraints are established. Then, we formulate types of Wolfe and Mond-Weir dual problems and investigate duality relations under convexity assumptions. Some examples are given to verify our results.
Inside the “Black Box” of Ownership Structures in Russia: Evidence from Stock Price Synchronicity
Authors: Khattak Mohay Uddin Khan , Rahman Asheq , Habib Ahsan
Published: July 2020

Ownership structure, an important feature of corporate governance, acts as a determinant of the opacity of firms. This study penetrates the “black box” of the ownership structures of Russian corporations, identifies their salient features, and examines the effects of those features on the information environment (stock price synchronicity) of the corporations. Examining a sample of companies listed on the Moscow Exchange, we find that stock price synchronicity is: (1) positively associated with divergence between control and cash-flow rights of the ultimate owner; (2) negatively associated with the ownership concentration of the ultimate owner; (3) negatively associated with companies controlled indirectly by the state through holding corporations with the presence of oligarchs; and (4) negatively associated with firms with transparent oligarchs. Analyzing the economic impact of the results, we find the presence of non-transparent oligarchs and foreign-offshore holdings has the most adverse effect on stock price synchronicity.
