Assessing the imbalance in interaction between ESG rating indicators and the financial performance of companies
Authors: PLOTNIKOVA Natal'ya A.
Published: December 2023

Subject. This article examines the interdependence between the key financial indicators of companies and the rating assessment of sustainable development (ESG rating).
Objectives. The article aims to determine the interdependence between the key indicators of the financial condition of companies and the ESG rating, and identify the factors that affect the correlation and assessment of the imbalance of the rating, sales and EBITDA indicators, for the further development of a unified ESG rating.
Methods. For the study, I used an integrated approach to testing the impact of quantities, analyzing and approbation of the results, based on structural and regression analyses, and statistical sampling.
Results. The article proposes a methodology for the practical application of the assigned rating to assess the financial condition of the company. The results of the study confirm the hypothesis about the connection and mutual influence of the ESG rating assessment and the main financial indicators (sales volume and EBITDA). It determines that when industries and companies are stratified by range depending on the scale of activity, an imbalance in the comprehensive ESG rating assessment gets revealed, which contradicts the essence of any rating.
Conclusions. The article concludes that the ESG rating is primarily a qualitative indicator, which is determined by a point system based on financial and non-financial information about the activities of companies. The sustainability rating can affect the performance of companies and industries as a whole, but it also depends on the financial condition of companies. It is necessary to unify the approach to compiling a rating assessment and building rating models using dilution coefficients adapted to different types of companies' activities and adequately disclosing ESG principles.

The purpose of the study is to substantiate and characterize the relationships between innovation and employment, as well as between innovation and wages in industry. With the help of methods of correlation-regression analysis and statistical data of a long trend, the existence of a high, direct correlation between the share of innovative products in the turnover of industry and between the index of innovative products in the turnover of industry and the index of the average monthly salary of a full-time worker in the industry of Ukraine is substantiated. Using a regression model, the change in employment in Ukrainian industry is quantitatively expressed when the share of innovative products in the sales turnover of Ukrainian industry changes by 1 p.p. Using Almon's method, a distribution-lag model with a lag of three years was built, with the help of which it was calculated how many index points the index of the average monthly salary of a full-time employee of the Ukrainian industry would change when the index of the share of innovative products in the sales turnover of the industry of Ukraine changed by 1. i.p.
A Study of the Influence of ESG Performance, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Hedonic Motivation, Price Value and Habit on Tourists’ Behavioural Intentions towards Sports Complexes
Authors: Zhou Xiaolong , Mingyue Zhang
Published: December 2023

This study aims to determine the structural relationships between environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance in sports complexes, along with external factors and motivations (social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, habit), with tourists’ behavioural intentions. Design/Method/Approach: To achieve this, a web- based survey was conducted, and after eliminating outliers, data from a total of 541 responses were analysed using the SPSS and AMOS statistical software packages. Findings: The research findings indicate a positive correlation between environmental and social performance in sports complexes, along with external factors and motivations (social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, habit), and tourists’ behavioural intentions. Hedonic motivation and habit have been identified as the most crucial. Additionally, past experience moderates the impact of social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value and habit on tourists’ intentions. Conclusions/Recommendation: This study suggests that enhancing tourists’ hedonic motivation and cultivating consumer habits are crucial for improving tourists’ intentions to visit sports complexes. Furthermore, efforts should be directed towards improving sports complexes’ environmental and social performance, enhancing the social environment and convenience, and increasing their cost- effectiveness to boost tourist intention. Originality/Value: This research represents a significant revision of the UTAUT2 model, expanding its applicability. Moreover, it is the first attempt to employ ESG theory to explain tourists’ behavioural intentions in sports complexes.

Authors: Xuan Huan Nguyen , Ngoc Minh Nguyen , Minh Tien Tran
Published: December 2023

Controlled slow release fertilizer (CRF) in this study was produced by mixing Silica-Biochar (SB), Bentonite (B), and Diatomite (D) at different ratios with N, P, K form customized crystal membrane to control the dissolution of N, P, K into water. Research results show that the mixing rate of SB and B significantly affects the pelleting process, decay rate, hardness, and air hygroscopicity of CRF fertilizer. The decay rate is more than 20% after 13 and 5 days and greater than 80% after 17 and 9 days, respectively with SB mixing ratio of 30 and 40%. The maximum hardness of CRF fertilizer was 3.2 kg/cm2 and the smallest was 1.6 kg/cm2 respectively with the SB used ratio of 30 and 40%. With the mixing rate of SB at 30%, the resulting CRF fertilizer has the smallest hygroscopicity. With the mixing rate of B at 5%, the resulting decay rate of CRF was the smallest. The mixing rate of B did not affect the air hygroscopicity of CRF fertilizers. The different mixing rates of diatomite used did not affect the decay rate, hardness, and air hygroscopicity of CRF fertilizers.

Aeroelastic System Identification for Flutter Prediction via Multi-Output Autoregressive Modeling
Authors: Ben Asher Tomer , Raveh Daniella E.
Published: December 2023

The paper presents a study of aeroelastic system identification and flutter prediction in a wind tunnel test. Multi-output autoregressive moving-average and multi-output autoregressive models are fitted to acceleration and strain data and their correlation functions, respectively, to generate models that account for the dependencies between the different measured data. The modal frequencies and damping values are extracted from these models and used to assess the flutter margin at different airspeeds and predict the flutter onset speed. The method is applied in a flutter prediction wind tunnel study of a full-scale, half-span aeroelastic demonstrator aircraft using multiple acceleration data and strain data from fiber-optic strain sensors. Both models provide a smooth variation of the modal parameters (frequencies and damping values), from which it is easy to identify the critical aeroelastic modes that coalesce in flutter. Based on the different data sets, all models accurately predict flutter onset at approximately the same airspeed. An advantage of the proposed system identification approaches is that they concurrently account for the data from multiple sensors, avoiding the need to average the modal dynamics estimated from different sensors. The proposed method can be used to support safe flutter tests, as accurate system identification leads to accurate flutter prediction based on structural data recorded at safe airspeeds, remote from flutter.

During the period of the 60-year breeding in the “Omsk Agrarian Scientific Center” (earlier SibNIISh), a unique Siberian soybean gene pool was created, more than 15 varieties were included into the State Register of the Russian Federation. However, breeding science does not stand still; it develops in accordance with the needs of the present day. The purpose of the research was to characterize the new promising samples of soybeans. There are presented data of the research of 2019–2021. The weather conditions of the growing season from May to September were contrasting. So, 2019 was characterized as medium-dry (hydrothermal coefficient = 0.99) and severe drought was noted in 2020 and 2021 (hydrothermal coefficient = 0.58 and 0.55, respectively). The adaptability of cultivars in productivity and quality indicators (mass fraction of protein and raw fat) is calculated. The weather conditions of the year and the genotype of the cultivar had an equal influence on the formation of the mass fraction of the protein (49.43 and 47.44%, respectively), on raw fat – the conditions of the year (86.85%) only. The increased protein and oil contents (39.85 and 20.01%, respectively) was noted in 2019, the greatest productivity (2.96 t/ha) – in 2020. The soybean cultivar Sibiryachka was the standard, it has been included into the State Register of the Russian Federation since 2013. For further breeding work, lines L 53/14 and L 217/18 are recommended, they are characterized by a high contents of protein grain (+1.04 and +0.98% to st.) and raw fat (+0.88 and +1.92% to st), as well as yield increase (0.29 and 0.42 t/ha to st.). In addition, these lines are plastic and stable (Regression coefficient > 1 and the degree of stability of responses to cultivation conditions < 1): L 53/14 in oil content and yield, L 217/18 – in protein and yield.

Published: December 2023

Larvae of click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are wireworms, one of the most spreading polyphagous soil pests damaging the agricultural crops, including sunflower. They prefer soils having pH from 5.6–6.0 to 4.5–5.0 and humus content more than 3.3%. Liming is the primary means to optimized reaction of a soil solution. In 2016–2018, in the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops, influence of filter cake (lime organic and mineral fertilizers produced after sugar beet processing) application in doses 3.9 and 5.9 t/ha on damaging of sunflower seedlings by larvae of beetles from an Elateridae family (wireworms) and crop productivity. The dry filter cake in the studied doses introduced 30 days before sunflower planting with further incorporation into the physically mature soil by tillers “Krot” on a depth of 12–15 cm decreased significantly a number of wireworms – from 15–21 (in control) to 6–10 pcs/m2. Thinning of sunflower crops due to wireworm damages on average reached 53.3% in control, as plant death in variants with application of an organic and mineral fertilizer in doses of 3.9 and 5.9 t/ha was at a level of 31.6 and 26.7%, respectively. The filter cake application in doses of 3.9 and 5.9 t/ha allowed obtaining yield increase of 0.86–0.87 t/ha. Oil content in sunflower seeds in these variants was equal to 51.3–52.1%.

Objetivo: Compreender de que forma o envelhecimento humano contribui no processo fisiopatológico da síndrome metabólica. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa composta por artigos publicados entre 2013 e 2023 nas línguas inglesa, portuguesa e espanhola, com o conteúdo disponibilizado integralmente e que possuem o envelhecimento e síndrome metabólica como temáticas centrais. Como problema norteador da pesquisa, utilizou-se: “O processo envelhecimento humano contribui no desencadeamento da síndrome metabólica?”. A pesquisa foi realizada entre junho e agosto de 2023 nas seguintes bases de dados: Acervo+ Index Base, MedLine, LILACS e IBECS, sendo utilizados os descritores “Aging”, “Risk Factors” e “Metabolic Syndrome” com o operador booleano “AND”. Resultados: 10 artigos enquadrados nos critérios de inclusão demonstraram que os processos envolvidos com senescência humana são responsáveis por aumentar o risco de o indivíduo desenvolver a síndrome metabólica. Fatores externos, como os hábitos de vida, também influenciam. Considerações finais: Por estar relacionado com o aumento da pressão arterial, circunferência abdominal e de triglicérides, além da desregulação de colesterol, o envelhecimento coopera no surgimento da síndrome metabólica. A literatura nacional é limitada, no entanto, a ampliação da educação em saúde, atrelada a maiores investimentos na atenção primária via SUS, é uma alternativa viável.

Authors: Samantaray Subham , Natesan Prabhu , Rajasegaran Rajalakshmi , Gaur Girwar Singh , Dubashi Biswajit
Published: December 2023

Objectives:

Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment is a gruesome outcome of chemotherapy among breast cancer survivors. Electroencephalogram (EEG) power measurement is a known sensitive neurophysiologic correlate of cancer treatment-related cognitive dysfunction. The objective of this study was to assess the changes in specific quantitative EEG markers of cognition among breast cancer patients before, immediately, and three months after chemotherapy.

Materials and Methods:

Twenty-three women planning to undergo adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer underwent EEG assessment before, immediately, and three months after chemotherapy. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to analyse the data. Post hoc pairwise comparison was done with Bonferroni correction to determine the pair in which the difference existed.

Results:

A significant increase in resting state EEG total power was observed (P = 0.012) after chemotherapy in the frontal area. The relative alpha power (RAP) significantly decreased with chemotherapy (P = 0.039), with post hoc pairwise comparison with Bonferroni correction revealing the significant decline to be present immediately after chemotherapy (P = 0.036) only over the posterior channels. Furthermore, the alpha-to-theta ratio (ATR) over posterior areas decreased (P = 0.012) both after completion of chemotherapy (P = 0.039) as well as three months after chemotherapy (P = 0.048). However, similar changes were not observed over frontal areas.

Conclusion:

Chemotherapy induces enhanced frontal power with a coincidental decline in RAP and ATR in the posterior areas.
Intermittent hypoxia exposure at sea level improves functional capacity (6MWT) at high altitude
Authors: Newmei Masan Kambo , Reddy Maramreddy Prasanna Kumar , Dass Deepak , Singh Vivek , Naik Swarup , Bhaumik Gopinath
Published: December 2023

Objectives:

Our primary objective is to observe whether acclimatisation is elicited by the intermittent hypoxic exposure (IHE) protocol. For this, we have utilised performance in a 6-min walk test (6MWT) as a tool to assess physiological responses to high altitude (HA) both in control and IHE-exposed groups, respectively.

Materials and Methods:

The study was a prospective cohort study conducted on Indian army volunteers (n = 57) and they were divided into two groups, a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG). At the sea level, a baseline study was carried out on barometric pressure. IHE was performed at sea level in the normobaric hypoxia chamber (low fraction of inspired oxygen [FiO2], at normal barometric pressure, 740 mmHg), in which the FiO2 of the chamber was artificially decreased using O2-filtering membranes. The oxygen percentage was constantly maintained at 12%-13%. After recording the baseline, the subjects were exposed to a normobaric hypoxia chamber at 12%-13% FiO2 (altitude – equivalent to 4350 m Approx). Heart rate and blood pressure (BP) were recorded with a battery-operated portable BP monitor (OMRON) at both locations. A finger pulse oximeter probe was set on the right index finger to measure the resting oxygen saturation (SpO2) level (Model MU 300). Incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) was scored with the help of the standard Lake Louise questionnaire (LLS). Total LLS scores more than >3 (range 0–15) were considered AMS.

Results:

EG individuals that went through IHE performed better at 6MWT at Stage I (P = 0.03). EG also had better SpO2, levels as compared to CG (P = 0.00) at Stage II (P = 0.03). Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the Borg’s Scale between CG and EG. The Delta SpO2 of EG was better as compared to CG in all stages, albeit not significant (P = 0.07). There was a significant difference between IHE and CG groups, and CG was at an increased risk for lower SpO2 (8.00 [1.21–52.60], P = 0.03).

Conclusion:

The findings elucidate the benefits of IHE in rapid acclimatisation, and it contributed to better distance covered as shown by 6MWT as well and reduces hypoxic incidents in HA.
Two case reports of Glanzmann thrombocytopenia with intracranial hemorrhage and a review of the literature
Authors: Almesedin Ghaleb Shihadah , Alshmaily Hanan Odah , Alshammari Khalid Abdulkarim , Albalawi Reem Sultan
Published: December 2023

Background:

Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired platelet function. Symptoms range from mild to life-threatening bleeding. However, it is extremely rare for a patient to have intracranial bleeding. This study presents two cases of GT: one with a spontaneous epidural hematoma (EDH) and the other with a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to traumatic causes. The discussion that follows then derives relevant supporting insights through a review of the literature.

Case Description:

Case Report 1: A 9-year-old girl with a known case of GT presented to an emergency department with a severe headache but no other complaints or history of trauma. The physical examination was normal. Computed tomography (CT) head without contrast revealed multiple EDHs with no midline shift. She received factor VII, tranexamic acid, and platelets transfusion and was admitted to the intensive care unit to be managed conservatively. After a month, a CT head follow-up showed complete resolution of all hematomas. Case Report 2: A 20-year-old male with a known case of GT was brought to the hospital with a history of loss of consciousness for several minutes after a road traffic accident. He suffered from a headache on regaining consciousness and received analgesia. CT head showed diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage. He was managed with factor VII, tranexamic acid, and platelets transfusion and was admitted to an intermediate care unit for close observation.

Conclusion:

In a GT patient with intracranial hemorrhage, conservative management with close clinical observation and platelet transfusion in combination with recombinant activated factor VII and/or antifibrinolytics can be safely conducted.

Published: December 2023

Background:

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid, blood, and blood breakdown products between the brain’s arachnoid and dura mater coverings. While steroids have been explored as a potential treatment option, their efficacy and safety remain uncertain. This meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to assess the impact of steroids on CSDH management, including mortality, recurrence, complications, and functional outcomes.

Methods:

We conducted a comprehensive literature search in major electronic databases up to June 2023, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews and Interventions. Inclusion criteria encompassed adult patients with CSDH, the use of steroids as monotherapy or adjuvant therapy, and clearly defined outcomes. Randomized controlled trials and cohort studies meeting these criteria were included in the study.

Results:

The initial search yielded 4315 articles, with 12 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Our findings indicate a non-significant trend toward reduced mortality with steroids in combination with standard care (Odds ratios [OR] = 0.66, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.20–2.18). However, substantial heterogeneity was observed (I2 = 70%). Sensitivity analysis, excluding influential studies, suggested a potential increased mortality risk associated with steroids (OR = 1.47, 95% CI 0.87–2.48). Steroids showed a possible benefit in reducing the recurrence of CSDH (OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.20–1.67), but with significant heterogeneity (I2 = 89%). No clear advantage of steroids was observed in terms of functional outcomes at three months (modified Rankin scale scores). Furthermore, steroids were associated with a significantly higher incidence of adverse effects and complications (OR = 2.17, 95% CI 1.48–3.17).

Conclusion:

Steroids may have a potential role in reducing CSDH recurrence but do not appear to confer significant advantages in terms of mortality or functional outcomes. However, their use is associated with a higher risk of adverse effects and complications. Given the limitations of existing studies, further research is needed to refine the role of steroids in CSDH management, considering patient-specific factors and treatment protocols.
Delayed rupture of a large intracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm after flow diverter placement

Published: December 2023

Background:

Delayed rupture after flow diverter (FD) placement is a serious complication, and often it leads to death; however, the exact mechanism leading to the rupture remains unclear. Therefore, in this case, study, we report a case of delayed rupture after FD placement and discuss its causes.

Case Description:

This study presents the case of a 69-year-old female with multiple aneurysms who underwent FD placement with coil embolization for a large intracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm. Postoperatively, the patient had no significant symptoms, and angiography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed decreased intra-aneurysmal blood flow. However, on the 3rd postoperative day, she developed a sudden disturbance of consciousness. Computed tomography revealed a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage, diagnosed as a delayed rupture. We decided to withhold therapy due to her serious condition. Previous studies have suggested that hemodynamic mechanisms can cause delayed aneurysm rupture. Based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the aneurysm, we suggest that an increase in intra-aneurysmal pressure after FD placement may have caused the delayed rupture.

Conclusion:

Preoperative CFD analysis may help evaluate the risk of delayed rupture for large aneurysms with a high inflow from the parent vessel.

Poverty is a condition when the inability to fulfill basic needs such as clothing, food, shelter, education, health, security. Poverty is a classic problem that is increasing day by day. Even though the news conveyed has decreased in average (aggregate), in fact poverty has always increased. A fundamental solution is needed in overcoming the problem of poverty, because the existing poverty condition is the background for the birth of other social problems, such as crime, violence, and even committing kufr (apostasy). The application of the Capitalist-Liberal Political System and Socialism-Communist has proved to be a failure in solving the problem ofpoverty. Even from the application of this system, it creates structural poverty in the community. A different reality from the application of the Islamic Political Economy system, in which the State guarantees the fulfillment of the basic needs of each person as a whole, as well as the possibility of himself fulfilling his secondary and tertiary needs, according to the level of ability as an individual who lives in a society that has a lifestyle ( life style). Guarantee the fulfillment of primary needs (clothing, food, shelter, education, health, and security) is carried out through various mechanisms, either directly or indirectly. So, by implementing it will minimize the poverty rate, and also allow the poverty rate to be zero percent. It has been historically proventhat at the time of the Caliph Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz radhiallahu 'anhu, state officials had difficulty finding the poor / poor in distributing zakah assets.

This study tries to describe the phenomenon of exploitation of women's bodies in product marketing business activities (cars and cigarettes) played by SPG in Pekanbaru. The exploitation of the body is a consequence of the product marketing system in the business world through a "sensual marketing" approach to steal consumer sympathy by constructing a woman's body (SPG) through a sexy and active appearance. This study uses a critical social theory approach "Class Struggle" as a macro theory, and is followed by a "Victim" theory as a micro theory in its analysis chapter.

In carrying out its duties, the Coordination Team is assisted by a Team Secretariat consisting of elements from the relevant regional apparatus. With this assistance, it is hoped that BUMDes can be empowered and productive, which in the end will present or generate income for the village, and then of course that income will have a positive and significant effect on the independence and welfare of the village. The research method is basically a scientific way to obtain data with a specific purpose and use. The method chosen is closely related to the procedures, tools and research design used. The procedures and tools used in the research must match the research methods used. The implementation of the GaDIS Program which is held systematically, based on high-performing villages and prioritizes the type of business or potential based on village deliberations, indirectly gives a positive effect, namely stimulation to each other village that has not received the GaDIS Program to improve their performance and improve their government administration. as well as strengthening in many other lines of implementation, so that in the future it is hoped to be able to obtain the GaDIS Program for strengthening in other economic fields. This is of course in line with the definition and thought that public policy is a program projected from goals, values ​​and practices. A policy choice is made to lead to the use of public power to influence the lives of citizens. But on the other hand, the lack of institutional strengthening and the low capacity of human resources for BUMDes management, as well as the low accessibility and action, have also resulted in low improvements in business, income and community improvement. This is at least experienced by Caringin Village, Way Ratai District, which was found by researchers in the field.

Bu çalışmada Aydın ilinde Kestane gal arısı (Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae))’ nın bulunup-bulunmadığı ve İzmir’de yaygınlığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu amaçla Aydın ilinin Efeler, Köşk, Sultanhisar, Nazilli; İzmir ilinin ise Beydağ, Ödemiş, Kiraz ilçelerindeki kestane alanlarına 2021 ve 2022 yıllarında nisan-ağustos aylarında her hafta gidilerek örnekleme yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak İzmir ilinde 2021 yılı haziran ayında kestane alanlarında yapılan sürveylerde Beydağ’ın Çamlık-Çomaklar mahallelerinde ve Ödemiş’in Bıçakçı mahallesinde kestane gal arısına ait galler gözlenmiş, diğer sürvey yapılan yerlerde gallere rastlanılmamıştır. İlave olarak 2022 yılında Beydağ’ın Börülcelik, Erikli ve Tabaklar mahallerinde Kestane gal arısına ait galler görülmüştür. Aydın’da ise 2021 yılında yapılan örneklemelerde kestane gallerine rastlanılmamıştır. Yine Aydın ilinde 2022 yılında mayıs ayında yapılan örneklemelerde Nazilli’nin Apaklar, Kaşıkçılar, Samailli mahalleri ile Sultanhisar’ın Uzunlar mahallesinde kestane gallerine rastlanmıştır.

Acil eylem planına geçilmediği takdirde zararlının zararı yıllar içinde artacak ve kestane üretimi Aydın ilinde daha da düşecektir.
Concise Justifications Versus Detailed Proofs for Description Logic Entailments
Authors: Borgwardt Stefan
Published: December 2023

We discuss explanations in Description Logics (DLs), a family of logics used for knowledge representation. Initial work on explaining consequences for DLs had focused on justifications, which are minimal subsets of axioms that entail the consequence. More recently, it was proposed that proofs can provide more detailed information about why a consequence follows. Moreover, several measures have been proposed to estimate the comprehensibility of justifications and proofs, for example, their size or the complexity of logical expressions. In this paper, we analyze the connection between these measures, e.g. whether small justifications necessarily give rise to small proofs. We use a dataset of DL proofs that was constructed last year based on the ontologies of the OWL Reasoner Evaluation 2015. We find that, in general, less complex justifications indeed correspond to less complex proofs, and discuss some exceptions to this rule.
