Authors: Owusu M. D. Owusu , Badu E. D. J. Badu , Adjei-Kumi T. Adjei-Kumi
Published: April 2024

Corporate finance practice is a function that deals with the financing needs of a company. In this paper, a critical survey was conducted to identify the key literature in order to isolate the leading theoretical and empirical issues surrounding company financing and capital structure that are particularly relevant for developing economies. The paper aims to take stock of existing knowledge in the area and identify the main strands of theoretical and empirical literature, considering the policy implications of existing knowledge, and spelling out the current policy problems which should be addressed by future research. The suggested areas resulted purely from a PhD research conducted in the area of construction finance in Ghana. The methodology adopted for the main PhD work involved multiple research approach. The empirical investigation was conducted using structured interviews and survey questionnaire. The interviews were conducted prior to the survey to solicit in-depth information about the financing practices and constraints of these large contractors. The interviews led to the identification of key issues which were not mentioned in literature. These concerns were later investigated and tested using survey questionnaires. Conforming to the orthodoxy of purposive and cluster sampling techniques, the dataset was obtained from 49 large construction firms operating in Ghana. The consideration of overlapping aspects of the study largely motivated the use of factor analysis to analyse the data which made it possible to make scientific deductions, descriptions and built explanations from the results. The development of regression models using explanatory variables such as financial condition of the firm, macro-economic indicators, bankruptcy cost, financial risk, transaction cost and financial policy to establish the relationship between the corresponding dependent variables (thus, equity finance and debt finance) together with the management and sustainability of suitable financing programme for construction firms in Ghana recommended policy problems further research.
The emotional intelligence factor to successful team leadership
Authors: Appiah A. C. Appiah
Published: April 2024

Team leadership is a very challenging process. Its dynamics must be appreciated especially in today's business environment where quality should be assured. To achieve and maintain a competitive edge in business, the adoption of varied leadership roles with particular reference to organisational tasks at hand is imperative. However, because of the diversity of circumstantial realities, leaders are challenged with appropriate role adoption. Given the diversity of tasks within an organisation, successful leadership is to be flexible enough to adopt suitable roles in the achievement of desired goals. This sensitivity in leadership has been termed "emotional intelligence". Emotional intelligence (El) is a leadership concept that has received a lot of attention in the 21st century. This concept has been defined by many authors to mean several things including common sense. This paper reviews the essence of leadership dimensions of the concept. It also discusses the dynamics of team leadership.
Assessing the relevance of internal audit to corporate governance in metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies in Ghana
Authors: Akrobor S. T. Akrobor
Published: April 2024

Evidence from studies reveal ineffectiveness of the internal audit investigations regarding its effects on the public sectors and the lack of proper attention being paid to budgetary controls in these public sectors. The study examined the role of internal audit in Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana so as to determine their relevance to governance. Specifically, the study examined the human resource management practices of the Internal Audit Units in the MMDAs; determined the level of independence of the internal audit units in the performance of their functions; and finally evaluated the quality (effectiveness) of internal audit functions in the Assemblies. A structured questionnaire was used as a primary data collection instrument from respondents selected through purposive and convenient means. Items of the questionnaire were measured on the Likert ranking scale. Ten (10) Assemblies in the Greater Accra region were selected. Overall, 70 respondents were sampled including 55 internal auditors, and 15 budget officers of the Assemblies. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics. The study concludes that the Assemblies have strong human resource management practices in the Internal Audit Unit to ensure effective functioning of the internal auditor. However, the study found that there is weak quality assurance, weak continuous improvement programs for the auditors, and poor conditions of service to motivate the internal auditors in the performance of their functions. The internal auditors in the Assemblies perform their functions with little or no internal and external interferences. The internal auditors in the Assemblies are effective in the performance of their functions. The internal auditors are capable of performing their functions and are therefore relevant to the Assemblies.

Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the level of customer satisfaction with loan services in the banking industry. The study uses the service quality of loan facilities at Barclays Bank Ghana Limited as a case study. Through a stratified random sampling method, seventy (70) respondents of the bank's branch in Nkawkaw in the Eastern Region of Ghana were selected to participate in the study. Questionnaires and interviews were used to measure the respondents' level of satisfaction with the bank's loan services and other service quality dimensions. The data gathered were analysed using SPSS (Version 16.0) and presented by the use of statistical models such as graphs, charts, and tables. It was observed that the customers were generally satisfied with the loan services when assessed on 12 service quality dimensions. Interest rates, account charges, company reputation and past experience with the bank were found to be important factors in attracting the customers. Existing customers are also willing to recommend the bank to their reference group. These factors are useful for strategic decisions.

The aim of the article is to find out about the pattern in which operating cash flows are allocated between dividends and investment. We analyzed 419 companies from the Warsaw Stock Exchange and covered the period of 2007–2020 with 4,760 firm-year observations. We prepared regression models for the dividend and investment ratio depending on the company specificity. We found a positive relation between dividends and investment. Additionally, we found that with the increase of operating cash flow, both dividends and investment increase. We think that the best explanation of our findings lies in the free cash flow hypothesis and signaling theory of dividends. Dividends and investment might be a tool to mitigate managerial decisions and at the same time a tool to send a positive signal to the investor about the present and future good financial situation. The results contribute to the literature on firms’ investment- and dividend-cash flow sensitivity and the order of decisions: in a residual dividend policy, investment decisions are made first and the remaining profit is paid out as dividends while another theoretical approach implies that firms decide first on their dividend level, and then make investment decisions as they are reluctant to cut dividends.
Unlocking the mysteries of Alzheimer’s disease: Role of single-cell sequencing in uncovering microbial infections
Authors: Singh Prashant , Kaushik Monu , Gupta Sarvesh Kumar , Chaudhary Amit
Published: April 2024

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Despite decades of research, the underlying causes of AD remain poorly understood. However, recent evidence suggests that microbial infections may play a role in the development and progression of AD. With the advent of single-cell sequencing (SCS) technology, researchers now have a powerful tool to study the microbial communities in AD brains at high resolution. This review article focuses on the latest research on the role of SCS in investigating the relationship between microbial infections and AD. By enabling the identification and characterization of specific microbial species and their interactions with host cells in AD brains, SCS has provided new insights into the complex microbial landscape of AD. Furthermore, this technology has the potential to impact the diagnosis and treatment of AD by revealing new targets for therapeutic intervention. Finally, we also discussed about the challenges, limitations, ethical, and translational considerations of SCS technology, as well as future research directions in this area. The potential impact of SCS on understanding microbial infections in AD is significant, and it may lead to the development of new therapies and preventive measures for this devastating disease. In conclusion, this review highlights the important role that SCS plays in advancing our understanding of the complex microbial communities in AD and their potential involvement in disease pathogenesis.

The BRG/Brahma-associated factors (BAF or mSWI/SNF) family of chromatin remodeling complexes are critical regulators of gene expression and are major determinants of cancer and other diseases. Two paralog ATPases, SMARCA4 and SMARCA2 (BRG1 and BRM, respectively), provide the enzymatic activity required for chromatin remodeling. Here, we discover and characterize a novel series of compounds that potently and selectively inhibit SMARCA4/SMARCA2. Mutational and biochemical studies demonstrate that these inhibitors act through a unique mode of inhibition, distinct from reported SMARCA4/SMARCA2 inhibitors. Across a range of cancer cell lines, SMARCA4/SMARCA2 inhibition resulted in lineage-specific changes in chromatin accessibility at binding sites for key transcription factors (TFs). In uveal melanoma (UM), BAF inhibition resulted in loss of enhancer occupancy of SOX10 and MITF, two essential TFs, leading to down-regulation of the melanocytic gene expression program. In a mouse xenograft model of UM, SMARCA4/SMARCA2 inhibition was well tolerated and resulted in dose-dependent tumor regression correlating with pharmacodynamic modulation of BAF-target gene expression. These data provide the foundation for first-in-human studies of BAF ATPase inhibition as a novel therapeutic to treat TF-dependent cancers.

Understanding the details of the cell cycle at the level of individual cells is critical for both cellular biology and cancer research. While existing methods using specific fluorescent markers have advanced our ability to study the cell cycle in cells that adhere to surfaces, there is a clear gap when it comes to non-adherent cells. In this study, we combine a specialized surface to improve cell attachment, the genetically-encoded FUCCI(CA)2 sensor, an automated image processing and analysis pipeline, and a custom machine-learning algorithm. This combined approach allowed us to precisely measure the duration of different cell cycle phases in non-adherent, as well as adherent cells.Our method provided detailed information from hundreds of cells under different experimental conditions in a fully automated manner. We validated this approach in two different acute myeloid leukemia cell lines, NB4 and Kasumi-1, which have unique and distinct cell cycle characteristics. We also measured how drugs that influence cell cycle properties affect the duration of each phase in the cell cycles of these cell lines. Importantly, our cell cycle analysis system is freely available and has also been validated for use with adherent cells.In summary, this article introduces a comprehensive, automated method for studying the cell cycle in both non-adherent and adherent cells, offering a valuable tool for cellular biology, cancer research and drug development.
Discovery of diverse Pectocaris species at the Cambrian series 2 Hongjingshao formation Xiazhuang section (Kunming, SW China) and its ecological, taphonomic, and biostratigraphic implications

Published: April 2024

Pectocaris species are intermediate- to large-sized Cambrian bivalved arthropods. Previous studies have documented Pectocaris exclusively from the Cambrian Series 2 Stage 3 Chengjiang biota in Yu’anshan Formation, Chiungchussu Stage in SW China. In this study, we report Pectocaris paraspatiosa sp. nov., and three other previously known Pectocaris from the Xiazhuang section in Kunming, which belongs to the Hongjingshao Formation and is a later phase within Cambrian Stage 3 than the Yu’anshan Formation. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the sparsely arranged endopodal endites and the morphologies of the abdomen, telson, and telson processes. We interpret P. paraspatiosa sp. nov. as a filter-feeder and a powerful swimmer adapted to shallow, agitated environments. Comparison among the Pectocaris species reinforces previous views that niche differentiation had been established among the congeneric species based on morphological differentiation. Our study shows the comprehensive occurrences of Pectocaris species outside the Chengjiang biota for the first time. With a review of the shared fossil taxa of Chengjiang and Xiaoshiba biotas, we identify a strong biological connection between the Yu’anshan and Hongjingshao Formations.

Authors: Yen Tsaifa TF , Luo Song , Yu Chaoguo
Published: April 2024

In the past three years, the number of college graduates has increased, and the employment situation is grim. The entrepreneurship of returning hometown college students has become a solution to alleviate the employment problem. At the same time, college students returning hometown to start businesses can also empower the manpower and technology needed for rural revitalization, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. The purpose of this paper is to explore the problems of college students' perception of returning hometown to start a business, and put forward relevant suggestions. This study obtained data through interviewing 14 applied university students. The results of text analysis show that the entrepreneurial issues perceived by respondents cover market supply and demand, policy, capital and technology, etc., and the awareness and perception of entrepreneurship are relatively weak. Finally, the research suggests that policy-making units should be combined with the actual situation, closely contact with schools or relevant management personnel, and strengthen the policy publicity of college students returning hometown to start businesses. Secondly, when designing the entrepreneurship course, the universities should consider the course activities and cases from the two aspects of the course design in combination with the students' learning situation and the actual market situation. Moreover, in terms of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial activities, universities can consider introducing relevant measures to set up incubators to encourage students to start businesses or join school-enterprise cooperation.
Talent Training Mechanism of Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutralization in New Liberal Arts: A Chinese Perspective
Authors: Jin Yuran , Zhu Xiaolin , Wang Wei
Published: April 2024

China is currently the world's largest carbon emitter. New liberal arts, as an important discipline for cultivating humanistic literacy and social responsibility, is closely related to the achievement of carbon neutrality goals. By using the method of logical reasoning and deduction, seven talent training mechanisms were proposed including the optimization mechanism of the talent training goal, the interdisciplinary course integration mechanism, the education mechanism of the scientific research innovation platform, the social practice mechanism, the cultivating mechanism with a sense of social responsibility, the mechanism of international cooperation and school-enterprise cooperation and exchange mechanism, and the evaluation mechanism of talent training. These mechanisms may improve the comprehensive quality and ability level of students and provide talent guarantees for the achievement of China's “carbon peak and carbon neutralization” goal.

Authors: Abdoulaye Boubacar Maikano , Ousmane Harouna Souley , Harouna Sani Dan Nomao , Makinta Boukar
Published: April 2024

The use of solar energy in sunny countries is a promising way of compensating for the energy deficit. The benefits of this type of energy are not just economic, but also environmental, since it emits few greenhouse gases. NIGER, a vast landlocked country in the Sahel, has an average level of sunshine estimated at around 5 to 7 kW/m2/d for an average duration of 8.5 hours per day. However, the rate of access to electricity in Niger remains very low. As part of the government's policy to reduce the energy deficit, it has built a 7MW photovoltaic solar power plant at MALBAZA (TAHOUA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the PVsyst and RETScreen software packages, which are widely used in the solar energy sector. The results of the various simulations were compared with the average of experimental measurements collected over three monitoring years: 2019, 2020 and 2021. These results mainly concern parameters such as the capacity factor (CF), the performance ratio (PR) and the final yield Yf. Error matrices (MBE and NMBE) were used for validation. The plant supplied an average of 11995.94 MWh of energy to the grid during the monitoring period. We obtained a mean bias error (MBE) of 5.81% (PVsyst) and 0.14% (RETSceen) and a normalized mean bias error (NMBE) of 3.81% (PVsyst) and 0.27% (RETScreen). There is good agreement between the experimental measurements and the theoretical values. The RETScreen software has less mean bias error (MBE) and normalized mean bias error (NMBE) than PVsyst, giving a better estimate of the real values.

Authors: Nandi Titli , Menon Sandeep , Das Subrata
Published: April 2024

This article delves into the critical significance of micronutrients specifically in fodder crop production, highlighting their profound impact on crop growth, yield, quality, and sustainable farming practices. Despite being required in trace amounts, micronutrients are essential for ensuring the health and productivity of livestock, as they serve as vital components of the forage consumed by animals. Micronutrients act as indispensable cofactors for enzymes involved in crucial metabolic processes essential for plant health and subsequent livestock nutrition. They play a pivotal role in enhancing fodder crop yield and improving its nutritional content, thus directly contributing to the overall health and productivity of livestock populations. Furthermore, proper management of micronutrients in fodder crop production is essential for ensuring the long-term sustainability of agricultural ecosystems. Sustainable farming practices that prioritize micronutrient balance not only optimize crop yields but also promote soil health and environmental sustainability. This research aims to address the complex challenges of ensuring livestock health, meeting global food demands, and promoting responsible agricultural practices within animal agriculture. In conclusion, the role of micronutrients in fodder crop production is paramount for ensuring the health and productivity of livestock, as well as supporting sustainable farming practices. Recognizing the significance of micronutrients in fodder crop production and implementing tailored management strategies are essential steps toward achieving livestock health, sustainable farming practices, and ultimately, food security in the context of animal agriculture.

Published: April 2024

The objective of this study was to determine the potential accumulation of copper (Cu) within a USGA golf green profile and analyze potential remediation techniques of soils containing toxic Cu concentrations. Accumulation study utilized: copper phthalocyanine pigment (Par), copper hydroxide (Junction DF), varying concentrations of copper sulfate (CuSO4) within irrigation, and combinations of each. Products were applied over 13 weeks at Clemson University horticulture greenhouses with samples taken at thatch depth, 0-5.1 cm below thatch, and 5.1-10.2 cm below thatch at conclusion of study. Average Cu concentrations in thatch layer was 634.7 kg Cu ha-1, with 0 - 5.1 cm and 5.1 - 10.2 cm depth concentrations of 11.26 and 6.84 kg Cu ha-1, respectively. Remediation studies exposed 5 mg Cecil sandy loam to 15 ml 1000 ppm of CuSo4-Cu followed by 4 sequential 20 ml filtration cycles of 1 N ammonium sulfate, 1 N calcium nitrate, 1 N gypsum, or water. Single filtration of ammonium sulfate removed similar or greater amount of Cu than cumulative impact of 4 filtrations of any other products with 2064 mg Cu kg-1. Studies suggest that the management or removal of thatch may alleviate toxic accumulation of copper, however the use of ammonium sulfate in irrigation water may provide additional remediation options to turfgrass managers.

Published: April 2024

Aims: This study aims to assess the influence of the pandemic on oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures in Dental Specialty Centers (CEOs) within the Metropolitan Region of Belém, Pará, Brazil.
Study Design: A retrospective cross-sectional epidemiological investigation was conducted using a comparative statistical approach.
Place and Duration of Study: Data from 2019 to 2020 on non-urgent surgical procedures in selected CEOs were collected from the DATASUS platform and compared to the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Belém, Pará
Methodology: Descriptive statistics and inferential analyses, including ANOVA and t-tests, were used to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the number of surgical procedures conducted.
Results: The total number of patients treated at the CEOs in 2019 was 30,013, which decreased to 15,952 in 2020, resulting in a 46.8% reduction. The analysis showed that different CEOs exhibited varying trends in the number of procedures performed, with a significant association between the pandemic and procedure numbers. Most surgical procedures experienced a decline from 2019 to 2020. Still, specific procedures showed substantial increases, such as excision of skin and mucosal lesions, treatment of facial neuralgia, and drainage of abscesses in the mouth and appendages.
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures rate at Dental Specialty Centers in the Metropolitan Region of Belém, Pará, Brazil. While overall procedures decreased, specific non-urgent procedures demonstrated variations, influenced by the evolving pandemic and public health measures.
