Authors: Н. В. Колоскова
Published: January 2023

"В статье рассматривается классификация финансовых рисков домохозяйств и современные трактовки связанных с ними понятий. Цель исследования – систематизировать признаки и виды финансового риска домохозяйства, расставить приоритеты в списке рисков, а также факторов, порождающих негативные рисковые ситуации, наметить пути повышения защищённости населения от финансовых рисков в условиях макроэкономической нестабильности и спада экономики. Рассмотрена роль государства в защите домашних хозяйств от негативных последствий принимаемых решений, направленных на повышение материального благосостояния посредством использования финансовых инструментов. Государство как главный регулятор экономики, поощряя активность своих граждан в совершении финансовых операций, должно гарантировать им надёжную и удобную инфраструктуру, а также помощь в отстаивании законных прав и требований. Данное направление работы государственных структур в лице Центрального Банка страны и его агентов также оказалось в фокусе внимания автора статьи. В работе решена задача – актуализировать исследования, направленные на формирование механизмов по управлению финансовыми рисками населения России, учитывая сложные трансформации национальной экономики, происходящие в условиях геополитического кризиса и ухудшения показателей мировой экономики в целом; учитывается также ответственность государства и общества за уровень жизни граждан на современном этапе развития. Ключевые слова: финансовый риск, домохозяйство, факторы финансового риска, приоритеты, личные финансы, управление рисками, финансовые пирамиды."
"ТЕОРЕТИЧЕСКИЕ ОСНОВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ ТУРИЗМА НА ОСНОВЕ КЛАСТЕРНОГО ПОДХОДА"
Authors: А. Н. Канафина
Published: January 2023

"Реализация кластерного подхода требует государственной поддержки на различных уровнях в зависимости от значимости каждого конкретного проекта. Учитывая сложившуюся в странах модель управления, именно органы исполнительной власти должны стать основными инициаторами кластерных проектов. Наиболее значимые кластерные проекты должны получать организационную и финансовую поддержку со стороны государственной власти путем интеграции мероприятий с действующими государственными целевыми программами. Использование кластерной концепции в туризме дает возможность решения современных проблем туристской индустрии, к которым относятся: недооценка туристского потенциала региона, низкий спрос на въездной туризм, слабое развитие инфраструктуры, небольшой интерес инвесторов, несовершенство механизмов и методов реализации стратегических программ развития туризма. Создание туристского кластера способствует формированию современного высокоэффективного и конкурентоспособного туристского комплекса, обеспечивающего широкие возможности для удовлетворения потребностей местного населения, казахстанских и иностранных граждан в туристских услугах; внесение значительного вклада в развитие экономики, в том числе за счет налоговых поступлений в бюджет, притока иностранной валюты, увеличения количества рабочих мест, сохранения и рационального использования культурного и природного наследия. Ключевые слова: кластер, туризм, предприятия-инноваторы, инвестиции, промышленность, отрасль, интеграция"

Published: January 2023

Uniforms, be in corporate or industrial, are strengthening the structures of any organization in today’s society. The importance of wearing uniforms at work is not limited to just creating brand awareness, but can also be functional like in the case of industrial workwear or be worn as a matter of pride like in the military. Within a manufacturing industry mainstay in today’s world, they serve a larger purpose than being a brand identity by providing production, maintaining safety, security, and other functionality. Earlier, during the industrial revolution, employees and managers were made to wear uniforms to distinguish them between their ranks and roles. This report highlights the importance of uniforms in corporate world. As work uniforms promote a sense of team spirit and a sense of belonging. This, in turn, can improve worker productivity. Employee benefit. Employer provided uniforms save employees money, and when provided as part of a Rental Program, eliminate employee laundering time and expense.

Authors:   Department of General Surgery, Basaveshwara Medical College and hospital, Chitradurga, Karnataka, 577502, India, Shubham Choudhary , Kumar C K Kiran
Published: January 2023

Rhinocerebral mucormycosis (RCM) is an angioinvasive fungal infection, in which infection of the nasal and sinus walls may secondarily invade the orbit, skull base, and brain. RCM carries high mortality up to 46 % in patients with sinus involvement and 62 % in patients with rhinocerebral involvement. The diagnosis of RCM and assessment of the resection margins are based on histopathology, specific cultures, and/or PCR detection of Mucorales species. It was a prospective, longitudinal study conducted under neurosurgery department in Basaveshwara Medical College and Hospital, Chitradurga, Karnataka during 1st May to 30th June 2021. All patients with radiologically, clinically diagnosed & biopsy proven by samples collected intraoperatively are included in the study. Caldwell luc approach was employed for maxillary sinus debridement, FESS for pansinusitis cases & Craniotomy for cases with intracranial involvement. In this study, we found that age, gender, neutrophil counts, monocyte count, ferritin levels, CT severity, diabetic status and usage of steroids and oxygen had a major role in the pathogenesis of mucormycosis. IHC was done and genetic studies were sent. The surgical treatment of RCM requires early diagnosis & aggressive surgical debridement. The outcome of the aggressive debridement was good. The debridement should be continued until clear resection margins are obtained based on the assessment of microscopical findings of hyphae, fungal cultures, and/or fungal DNA detected by PCR. Keywords: Surgical debridement, Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis (RCM), Post COVID-19

Authors: Castro Mariana Camilla Coelho Silva , Barbosa Neto João Estevão , Cunha Jacqueline Veneroso Alves da
Published: January 2023

Objetivo: Caracterizar o estado da arte sobre a aplicação da governança a entes do setor público.
Método: Foi realizada uma análise da produção científica nacional e internacional, levantada a partir de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, por meio da plataforma Web of Science com o descritor de busca “public governance”. Não foram estabelecidas limitações de ano e idioma da publicação. Foram selecionados e analisados sistematicamente quatorze artigos.
Originalidade/Relevância: Entende-se que o levantamento da literatura sobre a governança aplicada a entes públicos de forma sistemática é tema pouco explorado, e é importante conhecer os resultados das pesquisas científicas, bem como as possibilidades de pesquisa na área.
Resultados: Com base nos resultados levantados dos artigos selecionados a partir da revisão sistemática, pôde-se perceber que, de forma geral, os entes públicos estão preocupados com o atendimento de aspectos legais e, a estes, falta conhecimento acerca dos conceitos de governança pública. As pesquisas demonstraram, também, que a implementação de princípios de governança é um dos principais determinantes do crescimento econômico sustentável e pode trazer resultados que vão além da gestão das instituições públicas, podendo melhorar a qualidade dos serviços públicos.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: A pesquisa gera contribuição tanto teórica quanto prática, uma vez que auxilia tanto pesquisadores, no levantamento de pontos a serem explorados em futuras pesquisas, quanto profissionais, fornecendo uma visão geral sobre a realidade dos entes públicos.
Uso de Mecanismos de Controle no Desempenho Colaborativo: Efeitos do Risco Relacional e da Confiança
Authors: Rengel Rodrigo , Koch Amanda Manes , Gasparetto Valdirene , Beuren Ilse Maria
Published: January 2023

Objetivo: analisar o efeito mediador do risco relacional e da confiança na relação entre uso de mecanismos de controle e desempenho colaborativo.
Método: Para coleta de dados, utilizou-se survey com 107 profissionais de empresas fabricantes de autopeças. Para análise, modelagem de equações estruturais e fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis.
Resultados: Os resultados revelam que o uso de mecanismos de controle influencia positivamente o desempenho colaborativo e a confiança e negativamente o risco relacional. Não se observou mediação do risco relacional entre mecanismos de controle e desempenho colaborativo, ao contrário da confiança, que apresentou mediação parcial, e constatou-se três soluções que proporcionam maior desempenho colaborativo: mecanismos de controle associado à confiança; mecanismos de controle em ambientes com ausência de risco relacional; e presença de especificidade dos ativos em relações com risco relacional.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Diante dos achados contraditórios e inconclusivos apresentados por estudos prévios, este estudo contribui para a literatura ao investigar de forma conjunta os efeitos do risco relacional e da confiança na relação entre mecanismos de controle e desempenho colaborativo, cujos construtos até então foram abordados de forma isolada, e evidenciar a complementaridade entre mecanismos de controle e confiança para um melhor desempenho colaborativo na relação fornecedor-comprador no setor automotivo.
Contribuições sociais/para a gestão: Os resultados evidenciam como os mecanismos de controle e governança podem contribuir para o desempenho colaborativo, para gerenciar os riscos relacionais e melhorar a relação entre fornecedor e comprador, visto que as organizações necessitam de recursos complementares de outras organizações.

Endoscopic approach to congenital glottic web: A case series
Authors: Yap Hui Jean , Johari Hafizah Husna , Sheikh Ab Hamid Suzina
Published: January 2023

Congenital glottic web results from the failure of complete canalization of the larynx during embryogenesis. It is an uncommon entity that characteristically presents with a high-pitched soft cry, stridor or dysphonia. The child may be comfortable at birth but a combination of weak cry with respiratory distress should alert the physician to look for possible laryngeal webs. Although rare, a physician should be mindful that congenital glottic web can occur in isolation or present with other synchronous airway anomalies. The choice of surgical approach often depends on the severity of laryngeal web. An endoscopic approach has been suggested for grade I – II webs while open airway reconstruction is used for grade III-IV webs. We hereby present 3 cases of congenital glottic web of different severity managed successfully with minimally invasive endoscopic approach.

Authors: Mohamed Sitti Sulhoon , Taib Fahisham , Ibrahim Nor Rosidah , Van Rostenberghe Hans , Ramli Noraida
Published: January 2023

Introduction: The latest Cochrane review supported high-position umbilical artery catheters (UAC) as it led to fewer complications and reduced the need for replacement or re-insertion of the catheters.  However, the studies included were dated more than three decades ago. Objectives: To determine the safety (short-term complications) of UAC in the newborn at two different positions. Methods: A randomized control trial was performed from March 2012 to August 2013, among the newborns requiring UAC insertion in Neonatal Intensive Care, at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. Patients were randomly assigned to either high or low UAC positions using block randomization. Outcomes: The primary outcomes were the incidence of aortic thrombosis, intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH), necrotising enterocolitis, hypertension, haematuria and feeding intolerance.  The secondary outcome was to compare the incidence of short-term outcomes of UAC position to gestational age and birth weight.  Results: One hundred and seventy-eight patients were included (89 per study arm). The mean gestational age was 34 weeks with a mean birth weight of 2.31 kg. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of baseline data. The overall incidence of complications was 20 (23%) in the low position and 18 (20%) in the high position group UAC (p=0.76). The observed complications between the low and high position UAC group: IVH 6.7% vs. 9%, p=0.58; feeding intolerance 6.7% vs. 4%, p=0.51; hypertension 4% vs. 6%, p=0.51; peripheral ischemic 2% vs. 0%, p=0.25. Conclusion: This study showed that the rate of complications in the low UAC position was comparable with the high UAC position.
Zakaj sploh še gledališče in ne raje nič?

Abstract. The High Nutrient-Low Chlorophyll condition of the Southern Ocean is generally thought to be caused by the low bioavailability of micronutrients, particularly iron, which plays an integral role in phytoplankton photosynthesis. Nevertheless, the Southern Ocean experiences seasonal blooms that generally initiate in austral spring, peak in summer and extend into autumn. This seasonal increase in primary productivity is typically linked to the seasonal characteristics of nutrient and light supply. To better understand the constraints on productivity in the Antarctic Sea-Ice Zone (SIZ), the photophysiological response of phytoplankton to iron addition was investigated during autumn along the Antarctic coast off Dronning Maud Land. Five short-term (24 hr) incubation experiments were conducted around Astrid Ridge (68° S) and along a 6° E transect, where an autumn bloom was identified in the region of the western SIZ. Surface iron concentrations ranged from 0.27 to 1.39 nM around Astrid Ridge, and 0.56 to 0.63 nM along the 6° E transect. The photophysiological response of phytoplankton to iron addition, measured through the photosynthetic efficiency and the absorption cross-section for photosystem II, showed no significant responses. This confirms that phytoplankton were not iron-limited at the time and that ambient iron concentrations were sufficient to fulfil the cellular requirements. This provides new insights into extended iron replete post-bloom conditions in the typically assumed iron deficient High Nutrient-Low Chlorophyll Southern Ocean.
WRF–ML v1.0: a bridge between WRF v4.3 and machine learning parameterizations and its application to atmospheric radiative transfer
Authors: Zhong Xiaohui , Ma Zhijian , Yao Yichen , Xu Lifei , Wu Yuan , Wang Zhibin
Published: January 2023

Abstract. In numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, physical parameterization schemes are the most computationally expensive components, despite being greatly simplified. In the past few years, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that machine learning (ML) parameterizations of subgrid physics have the potential to accelerate and even outperform conventional physics-based schemes. However, as the ML models are commonly implemented using the ML libraries written in Python, very few ML-based parameterizations have been successfully integrated with NWP models due to the difficulty of embedding Python functions into Fortran-based NWP models. To address this issue, we developed a coupler to allow the ML-based parameterizations to be coupled with a widely used NWP model, i.e., the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Similar to the WRF I/O methodologies, the coupler provides the options to run the ML model inference with exclusive processors or the same processors for WRF calculations. In addition, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the coupler, the ML-based radiation emulators are trained and coupled with the WRF model successfully.
Modelling non-stationary flood frequency in England and Wales using physical covariates
Authors: Faulkner Duncan S. , Longfield Sean , Warren Sarah , Tawn Jonathan A.
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Non-stationary methods of flood frequency analysis are widespread in research but rarely implemented by practitioners who manage flood risk. One reason for this may be that research papers on non-stationary statistical models tend to focus on model fitting rather than extracting the sort of results needed by designers and decision makers. It can be difficult to extract useful results from non-stationary models that include stochastic covariates for which the value in any future year is unknown. Examples of such covariates include rainfall, temperature or indices of fluctuations of atmospheric pressure. We explore the motivation for including such covariates, whether on their own or in addition to a covariate based on time. We set out a method for expressing the results of non-stationary models, and their uncertainty, as an integrated flow estimate, which removes the dependence on a particular value of the covariates. This can be defined either for a particular year or over a longer period of time. The methods are illustrated by application to a set of 375 river gauges across England and Wales. We find annual rainfall to be a useful covariate at many gauges, sometimes in conjunction with a time-based covariate. For estimating flood frequency in future conditions, we advocate exploring hybrid approaches that combine the best attributes of non-stationary statistical models and simulation models that can represent the impacts of changes in climate and river catchments.

Authors: Sayyar Hafiza Tuseef , Raza Muhammad Liaquat , Baqir Syeda Rida
Published: January 2023

Objectives: The current study is carried out on the methanol extract of Illicium verum hook.f (MEIV) to evaluate and examine anti-amnesic effects of Illicium verum hook.f by using the radial arm maze model. Study design and setting: This experimental observational study was performed in the Department of Pharmacology, Hamdard university from 20th November 2017 to 20th May 2018. after ethical approval from Board of Advanced studies and Research. Methodology: Total N=30 healthy albino mice were treated with graded doses of methanol extract of Illicium verum hook.f (MEIV) (300 and 500mg/kg p.o.) to verify its effectiveness regarding scopolamine induce memory impairment. Afterward, in-vitro studies were performed on isolated parts of brain mice by using an F2000 fluorescent spectrophotometer (Hitachi) to analyze the acetylcholinesterase level. Results: Investigation reveals that methanol extracts of Illicium verum hook.f (MEIV) by oral administration reduces the incidence of working and reference memory errors additionally this investigation was proved that active avoidance responses in scopolamine-treated group decreased. The acetylcholine esterase level was significantly reduced at the dose of 300 mg/kg (102.05±1.93µmol/min/mg) as compared to the positive control group (161.33±2.347 µmol/min/mg). Conclusion: Based on behavioral and biochemical investigations, we concluded that MEIV produces anti-amnesic effects by the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, which might be due to the presence of various essential phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenoid, polyphenols. Our finding reveals that Illicium verum is among the screened plants to be assessed further as an herbal substitute for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease

Published: January 2023

Construction provides the infrastructure necessary for the progress of modern societies and responds favorably to global economic dynamics. This performance is conducted through business performance, when formulating and executing this type of projects in Colombia. However, Its productivity is low, despite its support as a leading stimulator of production in times of crisis. Therefore, this research analyzed the macroeconomic environment of the construction and building subsector, through the selection and characterization of companies in Boyacá, Colombia, together with the identification of their capacities, estimated by the financial and organizational statements required in public bids. This analysis exposes the dependent and volatile market, mainly supported by housing construction activity. In Colombia, there is a reduction in productivity and in Boyacá, 95.83% of sole proprietorships do not have conditions to participate in public procurement. Consequently, despite institutional efforts to encourage production by investment in the building subsector, the nature of the market and the organizational limitations hinder the development of the sector and the Colombian economy in times of crisis.

Siendo evidente que dicho fenómeno hace presencia en diferentes mercados, se decide revisar la virtual presencia de este evento, el contexto del mercado colombiano, por lo cual el objetivo de la presente investigación se orientó en mostrar si las propiedades riesgo-retorno están presentes en los portafolios de Mínima Varianza estructurados con acciones del mercado de valores nacional. La metodología aplicada posee un enfoque cuantitativo, y alcance correlacional, y mediante el desarrollo de modelos de optimización para minimizar la varianza de los portafolios constituidos se procedió a hacer la revisión sistemática del evento. Los resultados muestran que los rendimientos del portafolio de mínima varianza son más favorables que los resultados de tres portafolios constituidos como Benchmark, como lo es un portafolio de mercado con retornos proyectados por promedio histórico, un portafolio de mercado con retornos proyectados por el modelo de valoración de activos de capital, y, finalmente, el índice del mercado de valores en Colombia, la revisión comprendió la ventana de tiempo entre enero de 2008 a octubre de 2020. En conclusión, se ha encontrado evidencia empírica de la presencia de la anomalía para los años 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 y 2020, en donde efectivamente los resultados del portafolio de mínima varianza supera a los otros tres portafolios constituidos para referenciar el desempeño.

El análisis de la personalidad de los miembros de una organización puede ser un elemento clave en la gestión empresarial. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar los incentivos de cooperación a través de la existencia de un fondo. Para ello, se examinó los rasgos de personalidad que pueden inferirse a partir del comportamiento en los juegos económicos, empleando dos juegos: bienes públicos y ultimátum, y se midió la personalidad de los participantes con el modelo de los Cinco Grandes. Se realizó un análisis estadístico de los datos recogidos en una población de estudiantes universitarios españoles. Los resultados sugieren que los más extravertidos recibirán un menor beneficio en la segunda ronda y que el aprendizaje producido entre las dos rondas podría deberse al rasgo de apertura a la experiencia. Este rasgo parece estar relacionado con la oferta realizada y las cantidades que los jugadores estaban dispuestos a aceptar. Los hallazgos pueden ser de interés en diversas áreas de la gerencia empresarial, tales como gestión de equipos o negociación. Se concluye la posibilidad de perfilar indirectamente determinados rasgos de personalidad a través del comportamiento en los juegos económicos.

Los continuos avances tecnológicos, los cambios económicos y distintos fenómenos presentados en la actualidad han forzado a las organizaciones a buscar maneras de prepararse para asumir retos de diversa índole y diseñar estrategias que den respuesta a las nuevas exigencias del mercado. En consecuencia, el objetivo del presente artículo fue analizar las prácticas de mercado y los retos frente a las capacidades de hipercompetitividad en empresas de la agroindustria alimentaria del departamento de Boyacá, mediante una investigación descriptiva, basada en la aplicación de una encuesta a gerentes de 95 empresas. Los resultados muestran que existe una brecha considerable del desempeño departamental del sector frente al nacional; las variables relacionadas con prácticas de mercadeo reflejaron un 66,5% de cumplimiento en promedio; mientras que en capacidades de hipercompetitividad solo registro 50,7%. Lo cual significa un verdadero reto para el sector, demandando esfuerzos de empresarios, estado, academia y sociedad en general y direccionando a trabajar temas cruciales en desarrollo, investigación e innovación, para lograr una cultura con visión holista y estratégica que permita responder a las exigencias actuales y futuras del mercado.
Determinantes sociales y proyección laboral: Profesionales universitarios en gestión, Chile
Authors: Alvear-Vega Sandra
Published: January 2023

La proyección laboral en el contexto actual es un desafío complejo. El presente estudio describe los determinantes sociales que explican la proyección laboral de un profesional de gestión, cuya formación se realizó en el sistema de educación universitaria, según los datos entregados por la encuesta Casen 2017, en Chile. La muestra estuvo conformada por 536.706 profesionales, todos(as) entre 30 y 65 años. Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, en el área educacional, a partir, del análisis de datos secundarios. Se usó un modelo probit, cuya variable dependiente es “formación universitaria en gestión”, en Chile. Los resultados del modelo muestran que los determinantes sociales que aumentan la probabilidad de proyección laboral de un(a) profesional universitario(a) en el área de gestión son: sexo masculino, formación continua, quintil más alto de ingreso y ejercicio de cargos directivos en el sector público, también en el sector privado específicamente en el área de finanzas y contabilidad. En conclusión, los determinantes que disminuyen dicha probabilidad están asociados a los grupos con mayor vulnerabilidad, como lo son las mujeres, bajo nivel educacional de los padres y desdientes de pueblos originarios.

En las últimas décadas, investigaciones han demostrado que la motivación laboral es un componente clave para el rendimiento óptimo de las organizaciones de cualquier sector de la economía. Trabajadores altamente motivados repercuten en altos niveles de productividad y mejora constante de la capacidad competitiva de la organización. Sin embargo, la aplicación de herramientas que posibiliten esta motivación es un tema complejo en la realidad del sector construcción en las pymes peruanas. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir la motivación laboral de los trabajadores de las pymes del sector construcción de Lima, Perú. El trabajo es de corte cuantitativo, no experimental y descriptivo, los datos fueron recogidos con un cuestionario aplicado a trabajadores seleccionados con un muestreo no probabilístico intencional. Los resultados arrojaron que los trabajadores poseen un nivel de motivación medio, lo cual demanda una atención preventiva por parte de las empresas, lo cual coloca el funcionamiento organizacional por debajo de sus posibilidades reales. Se concluye en que las organizaciones son las responsables de aplicar correctivos, herramientas y políticas internas de cara a mejorar el nivel de motivación de sus empleados, lo que genera un máximo rendimiento y resultados óptimos en beneficio a la organización y su rendimiento en sus operaciones.
The Relationship Between Lower Limb Passive Muscle and Tendon Compression Stiffness and Oxygen Cost During Running

Studies have reported that a stiff triceps surae muscle and tendon-aponeurosis and also a more compliant quadriceps muscle and tendon-aponeurosis, are related to lower oxygen cost during running. However, to date, no study has investigated in a single experiment how oxygen cost during running is related to the stiffness of the free tendons (Achilles tendon, patellar tendon) and all the superficial muscles of two major muscle groups for running (i.e., quadriceps, triceps surae). Thus, 17 male trained runners/triathletes participated in this study and visited the laboratory on three occasions. On the first day, the participants were familiarized with the tests. On the second day, the passive compression stiffness of the triceps surae muscle (i.e., gastrocnemii), Achilles tendon, quadriceps muscle (i.e., vastii, rectus femoris), and patellar tendon was non-invasively measured using a digital palpation device (MyotonPRO). In addition, an incremental test was applied to test the VO2max of the participants. Thereafter, in the third visit, after at least 48-h of rest, participants performed a 15-min run on the treadmill with a speed reflecting a velocity of 70% VO2max, to assess oxygen costs during running. The Spearman correlation showed a significant negative correlation between passive Achilles tendon compression stiffness and running oxygen consumption, with a large effect size (rρ = -0.52; CI (95%) -0.81 to -0.33; P = 0.03). Moreover, no further significant relationship between oxygen cost during running and the passive compression stiffness of the quadriceps muscle and patellar tendon, as well as the triceps surae muscle, was detected. The significant correlation indicates that a stiffer passive Achilles tendon can lead to a lower oxygen cost during running. Future studies will have to test the causality of this relationship with training methods such as strength training that are able to increase the Achilles tendon stiffness.
