The impact of chrononutrition on metabolic health: Aligning eating patterns with circadian rhythms
Authors: Lekhwani Seema , Das Vaswani Narain
Published: October 2024

Chrononutrition, the study of how the timing of meals impacts health by aligning with the body’s circadian rhythms, is increasingly recognized for its influence on metabolic regulation. This review examines the scientific foundation of chrononutrition, focusing on key research surrounding meal timing, circadian disruption, and their effects on metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Findings from both clinical trials and animal studies indicate that irregular eating schedules can disturb circadian rhythms, resulting in impaired glucose metabolism, increased fat accumulation, and hormonal imbalances. This review also identifies critical gaps in the current research, highlighting the potential for chrononutrition-based strategies in preventing and managing disease.
Rice and its nutritional significance
Authors: Lalitha A
Published: October 2024

Rice is a staple food for millions of populations in the world and originated from a wild grass to a crop. The Asian civilization was built on rice. The rice cultivation changed the lives of hunters into farmers. The domestication of rice in India dates back to the 7th millennium BC. Due to industrialization, the traditional practice of hand pounding was overtaken by rice processing mills, which led to the production of white polished rice, devoid of many nutrients. Studies confirmed that higher consumption of white rice increased the risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, high in India. In the current scenario, the disease prevalence is increasing, and customers are in search of nutritious foods with potential health benefits. This paper outlines the origin of rice and its nutritional value.
Allusion as a means of implementing intertextuality in English-language online film review
Authors: Galiullina O. R.
Published: October 2024

The article discusses ways to actualize allusion as an intertextual element. Intertextual inclusions in the texts of the film review are designed to illustrate the degree of professional competence of the reviewer and his interpretative qualities using the comparative analytical method. Allusion, being a stylistic device for the realization of intertextuality, contains a certain pretext. This pretext performs the function of a precedent phenomenon associated with some collective invariant component of linguistic consciousness. The purpose of this article is to consider in film review the ways in which allusion functions as an intertextual reference. The empirical material of this study was a corpus of 30 movie reviews from 2021–2023, taken from the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. Direct or indirect reference to a specific cinematic phenomenon not only increases the general erudition and awareness of the reader, but also serves as a means of providing a perlocative effect when reading this film review. Allusion, being a means of realizing the author’s pragmatic intentions, performs a comparative function by building intertextual references. The referents in film reviews are the names of films, directors, actors and other precedent units of the world of cinema.
Language of the SMO in its historical and cultural context
Authors: Izmestyeva I. A.
Published: October 2024

This article analyzes the language used in special military operations from a functional and semantic perspective. Nowadays, the language used by the military (the SVO as the special military operation in Ukraine) extends beyond the professional group and, thanks to media and social networks, has become understandable to most Russian speakers. The military jargon has a history dating back three hundred years, influenced by various military campaigns in which Russia and the USSR participated. The jargonisms from the early XX century, developed during the First World War, and the active development of military language in the twentieth century, are still present in modern military language. This is due to events such as the Great Patriotic War and the war in Afghanistan. Currently, there is a growing use of military terminology, alongside well-established slang terms that refer to aspects of military life, clothing, weapons, operations, orders, etc. New terms have emerged due to advancements in science and technology, as well as changes in the military-political situation. The lexemes and phrasemes used in the military sphere serve nominative, characterizing, emotional-evaluative, and gaming functions. These terms form thematic groups that make up the semantic field of military operations, based on the denotative meaning of slang words and their possible connotations. The language of the SVO reflects the historically formed and evolving military sociolect of the national language, primarily through Russian vocabulary and phraseological units, specialized terminology, and everyday slang. A small number of foreign terms, mainly related to weapons, have been adapted to fit the phonetic and grammatical rules of the Russian language. Overall, the language of the SMO used in military-political communication reflects the national and cultural characteristics of the military.
Gender stereotypes in the German language: synchronic-diachronic perspective
Authors: Shamne N. L.
Published: October 2024

The article examines the peculiarities of objectification of the universal opposition «man – woman» in the German language based on lexicographic sources from different chronological periods. German language is interesting for studying this opposition because of its expanded nature, which is particularly evident within the «woman» component: «Mann – Frau / Weib». The analysis of interpretations of the concepts «man» and «woman» in German dictionaries reveals the processes of gender stereotyping reflected in them during different periods of language development. This allows us to understand the development of ideas about these concepts in a specific linguistic culture. The leading characteristics of men and women, as reflected in the semantics of key lexemes such as Mann, Frau and Weib, as well as adjectives derived from these words, are determined. Their cultural and historical context is explored. It is found that during the XVIII and XIX centuries, the concepts of «man» and «woman» consistently reflected the processes of gender stereotyping. However, gender stereotypes regarding women were more varied and complex. Starting in the XX century and especially in the XXI century, stereotypes have been presented to a lesser degree, with a noted neutralization of social oppositions within the considered opposition. It is observed that the opposition between man and woman in German initially had a dual nature, both socially and naturally. It is concluded that at present, in lexicographic sources, naturally oriented traits are the leading features of objectification in the «man-woman» opposition. The issue of the level of accuracy with which different concepts are reflected in explanatory dictionaries of the German language has been identified.
Functions and specificity of metaphorical complexes in D. Kehlmann’s novel «Tyll»
Authors: Sudareva V. S.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the linguistic representation and functional features of the metaphorical complexes death and movement in the German-language novel discourse. The research was based on the novel «Tyll» (2017) written by the modern German writer D. Kehlmann. The novel tells about the character of German medieval legends Till Eulenspiegel portrayed as vagabond and artist, placed in the landscape of the Thirty Years’ War. The relevance of the research is due to the lack of systematic studies of the novel metaphor and its dominant role in the process of meaning generation in literary texts at the «new turn of the century». The author used an integral approach to the problem under study. The initial theoretical premise of the study is the recognition of the serious cognitive potential of metaphor, realized in the process of artistic cognition. As a result of the research, it was found that the metaphorical complex death is embodied by D. Kehlmann in the novel by sequence of figurative rows that create a metaphorical connection between the arrival of the harbinger of death Till Eulenspiegel and the onset of War. The author suggests considering the process of formation of the metaphorical complex movement in a series of text fragments created with the participation of verbs with semantics of movement, spatial prepositions and adverbs of repetition. Attempting to characterize the rhythmic specificity of the novel text under study, the author comes to the conclusion that the main method used by D. Kehlmann is justification of rhythmic expectation. The rhythm of the text is consistent with the conceptual dance of the main character through subjectively ranged gradation rows with an ascending increment of semantic and emotionally expressive significance, which determine the author’s modality. Metaphorical complexes death and movement have prognostic and compositional functions. The results obtained confirm the metaphoricity of the novel under study and the necessity to analyze other metaphorical complexes as part of the central novel metaphor as an important category of modern German literature.
History of the city of Stavropol-Togliatti: historiographic aspect
Authors: Bezginа O. A.
Published: October 2024

The city of Togliatti, which has been leading its history since 1737 and is currently the first in terms of population among Russian so-called «single-industry towns», has accumulated a significant amount of its own literature. At the same time, the historiography of Stavropol-Togliatti began to develop widely only from the second half of the XX century, it still has an eclectic character and continues to progress. The author of the article when using the method of historical periodization, comparative-historical and analytical methods analyzed the literature on the history of the city, its systematization was carried out, six historiographic groups on the topic were allocated, the authors who made the greatest contribution to the study of the city of Stavropol-Togliatti were named.
Constructions with reduplication of the referent in sentences with the relative pronoun который in the translation of «Il regno degli slavi» by Mavro Orbini
Authors: Shikina E. V.
Published: October 2024

The article considers some language features of the translation from Italian made by Savva Ragusinsky in the first quarter of the XVIII century by order of Peter I. The historiographic work under consideration is Mavro Orbini’s book «Il regno degli slavi». The author of the article analyses the use of the construction with the pronoun который and the repetition of the referent, which allows identifying the degree of influence of the original language on the translated text, various transformations within the construction or a gradual departure from it. Savva Raguzinsky, while working on the translation, resorts to using the construction 40 times, not always relying on the original text and often using synonyms, which may indicate its consistent destruction. The paper analyses two manuscripts dating from 1714 and currently stored in the library of the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg, the text published in 1722 «The Book historiography of the Commencement of the Name, Glory and Expansion of the Slavic People ...», as well as the original text in Italian. The relevance of the research topic is due to the significant influence of translations from foreign languages on the formation of a new type of language. It was in the Peter the Great era that texts appeared, the language of which modern researchers call «simple», contrasting with the «high Slavonic dialect». There are practically no Church Slavonic and obsolete forms, words and phrases in it. Until now, a generally accepted view of the linguistic situation of the first quarter of the XVIII century has not been developed, and many printed and handwritten monuments of that time have not become the object of research.
Position of Persia on the problem of «Russian transit» in the XVI–XVII centuries: a plot about Shirvan cities
Authors: Astashkin R. S.
Published: October 2024

The article attempts to consider the position of the Persian Safavid state on the question of using the territory of the Muscovy empire for the development of the European-Asian relations in the period of the XVI–XVII centuries with the use of the method of diachronic analysis and historical periodization. The aforementioned problem is studied as a separate aspect of scientific topics related to the place of the then Russia in the process of the European expansion into the countries of the East. The object of the analysis is the practical activities of the Persian administrations, which had both a direct and indirect relationship to the conventional topic of «Russian transit». Nowadays the experience of the comprehensive and conceptual study of this issue is absent not only in the domestic, but also in the foreign historical science. The specific subject of the study is related to the repeated promises of official Iran to transfer control over the largest centers of the historical region of Shirvan to the Russian tsars. The source base for this work was an array of diplomatic documents on the history of Russian-Persian interstate relations of the XVI–XVII centuries. These materials, in particular, reflected Moscow’s reaction to the Safavid proposals for territorial concessions. The scientific works of Russian-speaking and foreign specialists, including the largest representatives of classical and modern historical Iranian studies, were also used. The analysis made it possible to fit the diplomatic issue about the fate of the Shirvan cities into the context of the general problem of «Russian transit». It is hypothesized that the Persian government deliberately initiated this discussion taking into account the economic potential of the Volga-Caspian trade route. It is concluded that if the appropriate agreements between the two states were reached, the Russian empire could in the future produce a certain revolution in the intercontinental trade, especially in the silk market.
Struggle of legalists to equalize the rights of Jews with other subjects of the Russian Empire at the end of the XIX – beginning of the XX century
Authors: Rybin D. V.
Published: October 2024

In the Russian Empire, the problem of the «Jewish question» existed for a long time. The prevailing theory was about the «badness» of the Jewish people, their deceit, maliciousness and other negative qualities. Since 1880, anti-Semitism has gradually increased. At first it was fueled by the bureaucracy, then it was joined by the local bourgeoisie, and then by its minions, the marginal strata of the cities. Accordingly, after the liberal policies of Alexander II, an attack on the rights of Jews began. Updated anti-Semitic legislation was adopted, and old ones were updated. Hundreds of petty restrictions bound the Jews and hindered their development. Jews began to have a keen sense of their national identity, emigrated, joined socialist parties, corrupted officials, etc. The liberal public was dissatisfied with this government policy. In the public press, in meetings of government bodies, and in correspondence, conservative liberals energetically argued the absurdity of anti-Semitism, the injustice of claims against Jews, and demanded the liberation of the Jews. Accordingly, the subject of our research is the activities of liberal jurists (legalists) of the Russian Empire for the emancipation of Jews. We chose a problem-chronological approach as the main method. By highlighting the «Jewish problem», we trace the chronology of fluctuations in state policy on the Jewish issue and highlight the forms of struggle of legalists for the rights of Jews. This is the first time such a reconstruction has been carried out regarding the legalist movement and contributes to historical knowledge. A number of conclusions can be tentatively formulated. Through the press, liberals created a negative image of anti-Semitic policies. Sitting in meetings and commissions, they prevented the expansion of negative legislation. In the Senate, legalists defended the rights of Jews.

Published: October 2024

The article considers the formation process of the commercial and industrial centers of the Samara region in the post-reform era. Despite there are scientific works that cover the topic of the formation and development of commercial and industrial entrepreneurship in the Samara province, the issue presented in the article can be considered as one of the unstudied. The scientific literature is not yet clearly defined the main factors that influenced this process. These factors include natural and climatic conditions, pace of establishment and development of agricultural production and other branches of farming industry, modernization of transport and financial infrastructure. The source base of the article is presented by administrative documentation, guidance and statistical materials, sources of personal nature, and fiction. The most significant sources include the documentary publications that contain a large amount of historical information, for example, «Lists of populated areas» for 1859, 1889, 1900, 1910. They contain valuable information about the geographical location of trade and industry facilities. On the basis of these and other materials, comparative-historical, analytical, methods of periodization and systematization, conclusions were formulated about the stages of the formation and development of shopping and industrial centers, their geographical placement, as well as that the modernization of transport and financial infrastructure gave a powerful impetus to the development of trading -Industrial activities of both the provincial capital and county centers, as well as a number of settlements, which at the end of the XIX-early XX centuries were shopping and industrial centers.

Cole crops are the most important and attractive vegetables, belonging to the family Cruciferae are extremely grown all over the world. In India, their annual production has been reported to be about 191.77 million metric tons so chips into the economy by a huge amount. Pieris brassicae, one of the dreaded insect pests incur damage to different vegetables to a tune of 40%. To curb this pest damage various synthetic insecticides are applied, albeit showing promising results yet posing drastic negative imprints on non-target organisms, environment and pest resistance. These drawbacks demand a perfect alternative which seals all the glitches created by the chemical insecticides. For this Infective Juveniles (IJs) of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (EPNs) act as perfect biological agents. So, work done in these lines has been reviewed to facilitate students and researchers for advanced research related to entomopathogenic nematodes and P. brassicae.

Authors: CHAITANYA M. , ANITHA G. , MAHENDRA K. R.
Published: October 2024

A field study was conducted at the ICAR-Indian Institute of Rice Research to investigate insect pest populations and their natural enemies in different organic rice modules during the rabi 2020 season. Three organic rice regimes, farmers’ practice and untreated control were compared across three phenological stages in rice for the population dynamics of pests and natural enemies of Hemiptera and Hymenoptera. Sampling was done fortnightly for three months using various methods such as visual counting, sticky traps, sweep netting, and D-net. Pest and predator populations peaked during the vegetative stage, while parasitoids peaked during the reproductive stage. Pest population means were highest in untreated control during the reproductive and ripening stages exhibiting the impact of treatments. The predator population was highest in untreated control during the vegetative and reproductive stage, while parasitoid population size was highest in Pseudomonas treatment in the vegetative and reproduction stages of the crop and the Trichoderma treatment in the ripening stage. Predator diversity was highest in untreated control during vegetative and reproductive stages of the crop while parasitoid diversity was maximum during reproductive and ripening stage. Pearson’s correlation coefficient between the population of pests and natural enemies was found to be positive and highly significant.

Published: October 2024

The nematicidal efficacy of liquid formulation of Pochonia chlamydosporia, Bacillus subtilis, Purpureocillium lilacinum, Trichoderma viride and vermiculite formulation of Rhizophagus intraradices were challenged against Meloidogyne incognita under glasshouse conditions. The in vivo experiment were piloted to test the potential of these biological agents by soil drenching of liquid formulation @ 1 ml/ pot or soil application of vermiculite formulation @ 1g/pot/dose. Their effect was compared with the granular application of Carbofuran @ 1g/pot/dose. All the liquid bioformulations investigated were capable of enhancing plant growth and lowering the pathogenicity and parasitic success of M. incognita in carrots. The soil drenching of P. chlamydosporia caused a significant reduction of galls in the root (51%), nematode population in the root (43.6%), egg mass in the root (65.3%) and infective juvenile population in soil (51.8%) over other treatments and Carbofuran.

Microbial consortia for disease suppression involve combining multiple beneficial microorganisms to enhance their effectiveness in plant disease management. In present study, development of microbial consortia for the management of major diseases in coconut and citrus was carried out using bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida (striata), Bacillus subtilis and fungi – Trichoderma reesei, T. harzianum, T. asperellum against major pathogens viz. Ganoderma lucidum, Thielaviopsis paradoxa, Phytopthora palmivora, Lasiodiplodia theobromae isolated from the coconut rhizosphere, and Fusarium solani isolated from the citrus rhizosphere. The promising fungal and bacterial antagonists were identified and studied for compatibility. Non-volatile compounds of consortia inhibited the test pathogens with an increase in concentration from 10 % to 75% with fungal consortia and bacterial consortia and also with mixed consortia which is composed of bacterial consortia + fungal consortia. Superior growth suppression was recorded with mixed consortia even at 10% concentration (59.44% to 65.83%) against the test pathogens in the ascending order of L. theobromae (59.44%) T. paradoxa (63.89%), G. lucidum (65.83%), P. palmivora (63.61%) and F. solani (62.78%). A similar trend was observed in 75% concentration where inhibition observed in the order of Thielaviopsis paradoxa (90.28%), G. lucidum (89.44%), F. solani (82.50%), L. theobromae (81.94%) and P. palmivora (81.39%). Volatile effect by bacterial consortia recorded the superior inhibition on test pathogens in the order of Ganoderma (85.28%), F. solani (75.28%), T. paradoxa (71.94%), P. palmivora (71.67%) and L. theobrome (67.50%) compared to the individual bioagents. Similarly, the fungal consortia showed the superior inhibitory effect on test pathogens in the order of G. lucidum (83.25%), P. palmivora (82.50%), L. theobromae (83.06%), F. solani (80.56%) and T. paradoxa (73.61%). Since there was no zone of inhibition between the strains, the interactions between Pseudomonas and Bacillus strains of Trichoderma spp. were compatible with one another. Neem cake recorded superior CFU population from 9.43 X 106 CFU at seven days by T. asperellum. Shelf life study on mixed consortia with bacterial + fungal bioagents in talc formulation indicated that all the bacterial and fungal CFU count recorded in 106 dilution for 90 days.

A dolgozat az 1764-es madéfalvi veszedelem után felállított Bűnfenyítő Bizottság jegyzőkönyvének nyelvével foglalkozik. A magyar nyelvű jegyzőkönyv nyelvén minden bizonnyal a leíró, Michael Conrad von Heidendorf nyelvváltozata is nyomott hagyott, de a dolgozatban elsősorban a kihallgatott székelyek nyelvét tanulmányoztam. Bemutattam a Bűnfenyítő Bizottság jegyzőkönyvét, majd a kihallgatások szövegének lejegyzőjét, elsősorban magyar nyelvtudása és a lejegyzés körülményeinek szempontjából. A jegyzőkönyv szövegében helyneveket, frazeologizmusokat és megszólításformákat is megörökítettek, emellett alaki, jelentésbeli és valódi tájszavakat is. Ezek egy részét megtalálhatjuk a bukovinai székelyek nyelvét ismertető kiadványokban, de akadnak olyanok is, amelyekre csak a moldvai magyarok nyelvében találtam példát. A nyelvi adatokat hangtani, alaktani és mondattani szempontból is megvizsgáltam, és a bemutatásukhoz adatokat gyűjtöttem a bukovinai székely nyelvjárási szövegekből. Mivel a jegyzőkönyvben azt is megörökítették, hogy kitől jegyezték le az adott vallomást, és az illető mely faluból származott, ezért a nyelvi adatokat a bukovinai székelyek nyelvén kívül az adott település nyelvjárásával is össze lehet hasonlítani.

Fixed versus flexible gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist protocol in women with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing in vitro fertilization: An RCT
Authors: Fatehi Hanieh , Davar Robab , Nikfarjam Elham , Bayati Fatemeh
Published: October 2024

Background: Despite the extensive use of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol in treating infertile women, particularly those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), there have not been sufficient evidence to compare the flexible and fixed variants in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.
Objective: This study aims to assess the treatment outcomes of flexible and fixed types of GnRH-antagonist protocol for IVF in women with PCOS.
Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 150 infertile women with PCOS, who were candidates for IVF, and referred to the Yazd Research and Clinical Center for Infertility, Yazd, Iran between October 2023 and February 2024 were included. Participants were divided into 2 groups (n = 75/ each) based on the type of antagonist protocol (fixed or flexible). GnRH antagonist administration started on the 5th day of gonadotropin treatment in the fixed group. In the flexible group when there was at least one follicle 12–14 mm, GnRH antagonist was started. Finally, the number of metaphase II oocyte, the quality of embryos, the duration of the stimulation cycle, the dose of gonadotropin, the number of GnRH-antagonist, and the rate of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome were evaluated.
Results: No statistically significant difference was observed in terms of cycle length and the total dose of gonadotropin between groups. Nevertheless, a notable distinction was observed in the total number of oocytes (17.84 vs. 15.5, p = 0.023) and mature oocytes (13.64 vs. 11.83, p = 0.019) in the flexible group compared to the fixed group.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the IVF outcomes are more favorable in women with PCOS undergoing the flexible GnRH-antagonist protocol compared to the fixed protocol.

The possible regulatory role of miR-4463 and its target gene CYP19A1 on the ovarian response in the women with diminished ovarian reserve: A case-control study
Authors: Yazdanian Azam , Lotfi Marzieh , Montazeri Fateme , Dashti Saeideh , Sheikhha Mohammad Hasan
Published: October 2024

Background: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is a condition that affects fertility by reducing the reproductive potential of the ovary. The altered expression profile of cumulus cells (CCs) can negatively affect the quality and quantity of oocytes in the ovaries. Recent studies suggest that circulating miRNAs play a significant role in the ovary function, and their serum expression changes can be valuable biomarkers for predicting ovarian function.
Objective: Investigating the expression levels of circulating miRNA-4463 and its target cytochrome P450 19A1 gene (CYP19A1) in DOR-CCs in order to find a molecular pathway involved in DOR.
Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, a total of 20 DOR-women and 20 women with normal ovarian reservation aged between 20–34 yr referred to Yazd Reproductive Science Institute, Yazd, Iran were included in the study. Serum and CCs were collected, and real time-polymerase chain reaction was performed to investigate the expression level of miR-4463, and its target gene CYP19A1.
Results: Our results showed an inverse relationship between miR-4463 and CYP19A1 expression levels. Therefore, the increase in the expression of miR-4463 was significantly evident in DOR-women compared to the control group (p = 0.0019), while the expression of its target gene, CYP19A1, has significantly decreased in these women (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: The present study suggests that miR-4463 and CYP19A1 pathways could regulate ovary function. Therefore, examination of this miRNA could be a promising parameter for predicting ovarian reserve and their response to stimulation protocols.

Published: October 2024

This study aims to investigate the roles and responsibilities of management accountants in Thailand, in a new and sustainable episode that has been disrupted by internal and external factors. Specifically, it also identifies the key factors that drive the changing roles of managerial accountants to be more innovative and business-strategy-oriented. Secondary data were employed in this study via the posted questionnaire to accountants who work in three industry sectors, namely manufacturing, retail and wholesale, and services. Multigroup structural equation modeling (multigroup SEM) was administered from the data. A sample set of 182 was gathered and used in the study’s analysis. 45% of the sample were accountants who worked in manufacturing, 22% in retail and wholesale, and 33% in service companies. The study proposed a structural equation modeling approach to determine key factors-digital technology force, leadership, digital technology readiness, digital technology competency, and attitude-that influence the changing roles of managerial accountants. The study finds that the factors that influenced the changing roles of managerial accountants differ from sector to sector. The digital technology force was found to have a weak influence on the changing roles of accountants, but moderately strong in retail and wholesale services. While the attitude of the accountants themselves was very strong to influence the changing roles, it was moderately strong for retail and wholesale, and rather weak for the services sector. Other factors-leadership, digital technology readiness, and digital technology competency-were found to have a mediating effect.

The Triple Bottom Line: Prioritizing CSR, Human Capital, and GHG Reduction for Sustainable Economic Growth in Indonesia
Authors: Dwiningsih Sri , Sanusi Anwar , Subiyantoro Edi
Published: October 2024

Our study, which covered the years 2008 to 2022, aimed to create “autoregressive vectors” to investigate the interrelationships between corporate social responsibility (CSR), greenhouse gas net (GHG), human capital (HCPT), and human resources in Indonesia. We used data from the World Bank, OECD, and Bank Republic Indonesia to conduct an analysis of the correlation between these variables. Our results showed that there are significant relationships between corporate governance self-assessment (CGS), GHG, and HCPT in Indonesia. The positive correlation between GHG and CGS suggests that as GHG emissions increase, the level of corporate governance self-assessment also increases. This finding implies that companies that prioritize reducing GHG emissions tend to have better corporate governance practices. Moreover, investing in reducing GHG emissions can have a positive impact on human capital development. However, the negative correlation between HCPT and CGS implies that an increase in human capital may result in a decrease in the level of corporate governance self-assessment. This finding highlights the importance of balancing investments in human capital with maintaining good corporate governance practices to ensure sustainable economic growth. Furthermore, promoting corporate social responsibility can enhance companies’ reputation and increase their brand value, which can positively impact their CGS. Therefore, it is essential for companies to prioritize CSR practices, invest in human capital development, and reduce GHG emissions to ensure sustainable economic growth and maintain good corporate governance practices in Indonesia.

What is the Impact of Economic Welfare on Social Responsibility Disclosure in Indonesian Manufacturing Companies?
Authors: Anugrah Natalina Sri , Chandrarin Grahita , Sumtaxy Maxion , Aslira Sumara
Published: October 2024

This research was conducted to prove that the economic welfare of the community is related to and has an influence on the existence of corporate social responsibility activities. The findings in this study assume the existence of the Covid-19 as a period that has an impact on the global crisis. The effects of the global crisis caused companies to experience a decline in net sales, and policies on corporate social activities changed. This study tries to link the variables of public ownership and net sales of companies to disclosure of social responsibility and the economic welfare of the community. The sampling design in this study uses a list of manufacture companies included in the Kompas 100 index list for two consecutive years, namely 2020 and 2021, which is the period when the health crisis in Indonesia began. The results of this study are that the variables of public ownership structure and net sales index have a significant relationship with social responsibility disclosure. However, the disclosure of social responsibility is not significant to economic welfare. Public ownership brings the company more attention from the surrounding community. Meanwhile, sales growth is used as a company measure to satisfy company owners and benefit the community.

This paper investigates the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing quality control within Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing processes, focusing on how AI-driven technologies improve production efficiency and precision. The research addresses traditional quality control methods, such as manual inspection and Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), highlighting their limitations in keeping up with the complexities and demand for high-precision PCBs in modern electronics.
The study delves into how AI technologies, particularly machine learning, computer vision, and predictive analytics, are being leveraged to overcome these limitations. By automating defect detection, improving accuracy, and enabling real-time analysis, AI systems not only streamline the quality control process but also significantly reduce human error and production costs.
AI-driven quality control systems are shown to increase defect detection rates, reduce inspection times, and enhance overall production throughput. The paper includes a comparative analysis between traditional and AI-based quality control methods, revealing a notable improvement in both detection accuracy and production speed when AI systems are employed. Additionally, cost efficiency is explored, demonstrating how AI systems reduce waste, minimize rework, and lower operational costs.
The potential challenges of AI implementation, such as the high initial costs, data requirements, and integration with legacy systems, are also discussed. The paper concludes that despite these challenges, AI offers a transformative solution to the growing demands of the PCB manufacturing industry, with the ability to scale effectively and adapt to future technological advancements.
Ultimately, this research underscores the significant role of AI in revolutionizing PCB quality control by providing a more efficient, precise, and cost-effective approach, paving the way for further innovation in the electronics manufacturing sector.

Published: October 2024

Background: Perennial crops including rubber and Thanh Tra grapefruit are highly effective land use that has occupied a large area (nearly 11,000 ha) in Thua Thien Hue province, Central Vietnam. Analyzing land suitability in agricultural production is one of the important tools for determining the effective use of land resources and sustainable development. This study aims to evaluate the land suitability of perennial crops in Phong Dien district, Thua Thien Hue province, Central Vietnam. Methods: The study was conducted in different communes in Phong Dien district, Thua Thien Hue province, Central Vietnam from 2022 to 2023 by collecting secondary and primary data together with soil samples from 45 profiles for analysis and finally application of the fuzzy multi-criteria analysis process (FAHP) tool and geographic information system method (GIS) to evaluate the land suitability. Result: The results indicated that economic criteria played the most important role with weights from 0.068 to 0.343, followed by the social criteria (weights from 0.014 to 0.147) and the environmental criteria (weights from 0.011 to 0.051). With land suitability evaluation, the very high suitability area of rubber and Thanh Tra grapefruit (S1) was 3,144.14 ha and 3,742.29 ha respectively. The FAHP and GIS integrated method is a useful method to assess land suitability for land use of perennial crops based on appropriate assessment of FAO land use requirements.

Published: October 2024

Se investigó la filogenia y biogeografía de insectos vector-hospederos en Colombia utilizando marcadores moleculares ITS2 y COII. Por medio de los datos del Centro Nacional de Información Biotecnológica (NCBI), se establecieron bases de datos locales de marcadores moleculares para especies de Diptera y Hemiptera. Se utilizaron modelos de máxima verosimilitud para examinar las relaciones de parentesco, los orígenes y la distribución potencial de estos insectos. Los análisis revelaron 18 clados parafiléticos con una resolución superior al 55 % para Diptera y 28 clados que superan el 50 % para ITS2. En el caso de Hemiptera, se identificaron 20 clados parafiléticos con una resolución superior al 13% con el marcador COII, y 14 clados parafiléticos con una resolución superior al 50% con ITS2. Estos resultados resaltan la solidez y precisión de los marcadores ITS2 y COII para separar estos organismos hospederos en Colombia. También, se encontró que los géneros Diptera y Hemiptera están ampliamente extendidos en todas las regiones de Colombia. Sin embargo, existe una notable escasez de datos moleculares y registros taxonómicos. Esto resalta la necesidad de futuras investigaciones para desentrañar la biogeografía y la ecología de los insectos vectores y hospederos en Colombia, facilitando así el desarrollo de bases de datos nacionales de biodiversidad integrales.
