Introducing the Deenz Agitated Depression Scale (DADS-22): A Brief Measure of Agitated Depression Traits
Authors: Dar Deen Mohd
Published: March 2024

Deenz Agitated Depression Scale (DADS) is a 22-item assessment developed
to measure tendencies towards agitated depression symptoms among college
students. This study conducted among a non-clinical population of 43
college students, comprising 10 from commerce, 13 from medical, and 20
from arts streams, aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and
validity of the scale. Results indicated a strong coefficient of 0.87,
signifying internal consistency, while test-retest reliability affirmed
its stability over time. Content validity analysis demonstrated the
scale’s efficacy in measuring inclinations towards agitated depression
symptoms, alongside capturing depressive symptoms. The DADS serves as a
comprehensive tool for assessing mental health concerns among college
students, providing valuable insights for intervention and support
services.

Published: March 2024

Existing weather models are known to have poor skill at forecasting
rainfall over East Africa, where there are regular threats of drought
and floods. Improved forecasts could reduce the effects of these extreme
weather events and provide significant socioeconomic benefits to the
region. We present a novel machine learning-based method to improve
precipitation forecasts in East Africa, using postprocessing based on a
conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN). This addresses the
challenge of realistically representing tropical rainfall, where
convection dominates and is poorly simulated in conventional global
forecast models. We postprocess hourly forecasts made by the European
Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Integrated Forecast System at
6-18h lead times, at $0.1^{\circ}$ resolution. We
combine the cGAN predictions with a novel neighbourhood version of
quantile mapping, to integrate the strengths of machine learning and
conventional postprocessing. Our results indicate that the cGAN
substantially improves the diurnal cycle of rainfall, and improves
predictions up to the $99.9^{\text{th}}$
percentile ($\sim 10
\text{mm}/\text{hr}$). This
improvement extends to the 2018 March–May season, which had extremely
high rainfall, indicating that the approach has some ability to
generalise to more extreme conditions. We explore the potential for the
cGAN to produce probabilistic forecasts and find that the spread of this
ensemble broadly reflects the predictability of the observations, but is
also characterised by a mixture of under- and over-dispersion. Overall
our results demonstrate how the strengths of machine learning and
conventional postprocessing methods can be combined, and illuminate what
benefits machine learning approaches can bring to this region.
Numerical Simulations of Scalar Transport Across the Sediment-Water Interface using a Two-Phase Model
Authors: Aponte-Cruz Edwin Rafael , Rodríguez-Abudo Sylvia
Published: March 2024

The two-phase flow model SedFOAM was implemented along with an
advection-diffusion solver to further understand temporal and spatial
variability of scalar fluxes near a permeable rippled bed and their
response to turbulent oscillatory flow conditions, sediment transport,
and ripple migration. Numerical experiments were performed with scalars
introduced by constant point sources at four different along-ripple
locations. A time-dependent analysis of centroid location, spread, and
area of the scalar plumes revealed distinct patterns for each injection
point. Dye ejected from the left flank traveled the furthest, spreading
up to $0.85\lambda$. The crest and right flank cases
spread a total distance of $0.49\lambda$. The trough
case exhibited the lowest spread of dye, with larger values near flow
reversal likely due to vortex formation and ejection induced by pressure
differences. Bulk statistics of turbulent scalar fluxes showed vertical
fluxes dominating over horizontal fluxes, with maximum
vertical-to-horizontal ratios of 1.6 on the right flank to 6.7 on the
left flank. Flank cases exhibited the largest time-averaged normalized
turbulent fluxes, with vertical values close to $1\times
10^{-3}$, which approximately doubles the
$4.5\times 10^{-4}$ and $5.7\times
10^{-4}$ values of the crest and trough cases, respectively. These
results highlight the role of flow characteristics and sediment dynamics
in shaping scalar transport near the sediment-water interface.
Interseismic uplift of anticlines above the Rakhine-Bangladesh Megathrust from ALOS-2 InSAR
Authors: Chong Jeng-Hann , Oryan Bar , Steckler Michael S. , Lindsey Eric O.
Published: March 2024

The shallow portion of a megathrust represents the zone of first contact
between two colliding plates, and its rheological properties control the
seismic and tsunami hazards generated by the fault. Unfortunately,
underwater geodetic observations are sparse due to the high cost of
obtaining geodetic data, meaning limited information is available on the
interseismic behavior of this part of most megathrusts. The
Rakhine-Bangladesh megathrust offers a unique opportunity to probe the
behavior of the shallow megathrust as it is the only ocean-continent
subduction zone where the near-trench region is fully accessible on
land. Here, we use observations from ALOS-2 wide-swath imagery spanning
2015 to 2022 to conduct an InSAR timeseries analysis of the overriding
plate within Bangladesh and the Indo-Myanmar Ranges. We identify a
narrow pattern of alternating uplift and subsidence associated with
mapped anticlines but show that it cannot be explained by plausible
rates of slip on the megathrust or other fault structures. Instead, we
argue that the deformation is likely caused by active aseismic folding
within the wedge above a shallow decollement. We show that estimates of
the decollement depth derived from a viscous folding model and the
observed anticline spacing are in agreement with previous seismic
observations of the decollement depth across the fold belt. We suggest
that the role of ductile deformation in the overriding plate in
subduction zones may be more important than previously recognized.
Enhancing Seismic Noise Suppression Using the Noise2Noise Framework
Authors: Ozawa Mitsuyuki
Published: March 2024

Although supervised deep learning (DL) offers a potent solution for
removing noise from seismic records, challenges are encountered owing to
the scarcity of noise-free labels. The innovative Noise2Noise method
eliminates the need for clean training targets and extends the
applicability of deep learning to seismic data denoising. In this study,
we introduce the Noise2Noise Enhancement (N2NE) framework, which
improves upon the conventional noise reduction methods used in seismic
processing. The applicability of this framework was quantitatively
examined using actual field noise under two scenarios: with and without
repeated shots. In scenarios with repeated shots, the N2NE framework
enhances the conventional stacking method. In addition, the substack
strategy, which employs smaller substacks for preliminary noise
suppression before DL training, boosts noise suppression. In scenarios
without repeated shots, the N2NE framework refines conventional
denoising methods (F-X deconvolution) by utilizing information from the
common-shot and receiver domains. The N2NE framework lays a foundation
for future research on N2N-based seismic denoising methods and
contributes to improving the quality of seismic records and the
efficiency of data acquisition.
Air-Ice-Ocean Coupling During a Strong Mid-Winter Cyclone, Part 1: Observing Coupled Dynamic Interactions Across Scales
Authors: Watkins Daniel Mark , Persson Ola , Stanton Timothy Peter , Solomon Amy B. , Hutchings Jennifer Katy , Haapala Jari , Svensson Gunilla
Published: March 2024

Arctic cyclones are key drivers of sea ice and ocean variability. During
the 2019-2020 Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of
Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition, joint observations of the coupled
air-ice-ocean system were collected at multiple spatial scales. Here, we
present observations of a pair of strong mid-winter cyclones that
impacted the MOSAiC site as it drifted in the central Arctic pack ice,
with analytic emphasis on the second cyclone. The sea ice dynamical
response showed spatial structure at the scale of the evolving
atmospheric wind field. Internal ice stress and the ocean stress play
significant roles, resulting in timing offsets between the atmospheric
forcing and the ice response and post-cyclone inertial ringing in the
ice and ocean. A structured response of sea ice motion and deformation
to cyclone passage is seen, and the consequent ice motion then forces
the upper ocean currents through frictional drag. The strongest impacts
to the sea ice and ocean from the passing cyclone occur as a result of
the surface impacts of a strong atmospheric low-level jet (LLJ) behind
the trailing cold front. Impacts of the cyclone are prolonged through
the coupled ice-ocean inertial response. The local impacts of the
approximately 120 km wide LLJ occur over a 12 hour period or less and at
scales of a kilometer to a few tens of kilometers, meaning that these
impacts occur at smaller spatial scales and faster time scales than many
satellite observations and coupled Earth system models can resolve.
Effect of Tropical Cyclone Intensity on the Relationship between Hydrometeor Distribution and Rapid Intensification by GPM GMI
Authors: Leng Yuankang , Liu Rui , Zhu Peijun , Zhang Honglei
Published: March 2024

This study analyzes hydrometeor evolution during rapid intensification
(RI) and tropical cyclone (TC) intensity dependence using satellite
data. Previous studies have suggested that ice cloud water or
non-convective precipitation can serve as predictors of RI from
different perspectives. However, few studies have focused on the impact
of TC intensity or comprehensive comparisons to identify better
indicators. During RI, the hydrometeor contents in weak TCs (WTCs)
increase over the entire region, whereas they increase mainly in the
inner-core region and decrease in advance in the outer-core region for
strong TCs (STCs). Hydrometeor contents are higher in RI than in slow
intensification, and their maximum locations are related to TC intensity
and intensification rate. Cloud water content (CWC) in the inner-core
region has the largest correlation with the intensification rate,
especially in WTCs. Therefore, the CWC can serve as a predictor of RI
and can be applied to all TC intensities.
SLUCM+BEM: A simple parameterisation for dynamic anthropogenic heat and electricity consumption in WRF-Urban
Authors: Takane Yuya , Kikegawa Yukihiro , Nakajima Ko , Kusaka Hiroyuki
Published: March 2024

We propose a simple dynamic anthropogenic heat (QF) parameterisation for
the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-single-layer urban canopy
model (SLUCM). The SLUCM is a remarkable physically based urban canopy
model that is widely used worldwide. However, a limitation of SLUCM is
that it considers a statistically based diurnal pattern of QF.
Consequently, QF is not affected by outdoor temperature changes and the
diurnal pattern of QF is constant throughout the simulation period. To
address these limitations, based on the concept of a building energy
model (BEM), which has been officially introduced in WRF, we propose a
parameterisation to dynamically and simply simulate QF from buildings
(QFB) through physically based calculation of the indoor heat load and
input parameters for BEM and SLUCM. This method allows model users to
simulate dynamic QF and electricity consumption (EC) according to
factors such as outdoor temperature changes, building insulation, and
heating and air conditioning (HAC) performance simply by setting the
AHOPTION option in URBPRAM.TBL to 2. SLUCM+BEM was shown to simulate
temporal variations of QFB and EC for HAC (ECHAC) and broadly reproduce
the ECHAC estimates of more sophisticated BEM and ECHAC observations in
the world’s largest metropolis, Tokyo. Our results demonstrate that
SLUCM-BEM can be applied to urban climates worldwide.
Along-Strike Variations of Alaska Subduction Zone Structure and Hydration Determined From Amphibious Seismic Data
Authors: Li Zongshan , Wiens Douglas A , Shen Weisen , Shillington Donna
Published: March 2024

We develop a 3-D isotropic shear velocity model for the Alaska
subduction zone using data from seafloor and land-based seismographs to
investigate along-strike variations in structure. By applying ambient
noise and teleseismic Helmholtz tomography, we derive Rayleigh wave
group and phase velocity dispersion maps, then invert them for shear
velocity structure using a Bayesian Monte Carlo algorithm. For
land-based stations, we perform a joint inversion of receiver functions
and dispersion curves. The forearc crust is relatively thick (35-42 km)
and has reduced lower crustal velocities beneath the Kodiak and Semidi
segments, which may promote higher seismic coupling. Bristol Bay Basin
crust is relatively thin and has a high-velocity lower layer, suggesting
a dense mafic lower crust emplaced by the rifting processes.  The
incoming plate shows low uppermost mantle velocities, indicating
serpentinization. This hydration is more pronounced in the Shumagin
segment, with greater velocity reduction extending to 18 ± 3 km depth,
compared to the Semidi segment, showing smaller reductions extending to
14 ± 3 km depth. Our estimates of percent serpentinization from
V reduction and V/V
are larger than those determined using V reduction in
prior studies, likely due to water in cracks affecting
V more than V. Revised estimates of
serpentinization show that more water subducts than previous studies,
and that twice as much mantle water is subducted in the Shumagin segment
compared to the Semidi segment. Together with estimates from other
subduction zones, the results indicate a wide variation in subducted
mantle water between different subduction segments.
The spatial localisation of storm-time ULF waves due to plasmaspheric plumes and implications for calculating radial diffusion
Authors: Sandhu Jasmine Kaur , Murphy Kyle Robert , Rae I. Jonathan , Degeling Alexander William , Osmane Adnane , Hartley David Paul , Olifer Leonid
Published: March 2024

The generation and propagation of Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) waves are
intrinsically coupled to the cold plasma population in the terrestrial
magnetosphere. During geomagnetic storms, extreme reconfigurations of
the cold plasma creates a complex and dynamic system that drastically
modifies this coupling. The extent and manner in which this coupling is
affected remains an open question. In this report, we assess the
coupling between ULF waves and cold plasmaspheric plumes during
geomagnetic storms, and investigate the implications for ULF wave-driven
radial transport of the outer radiation belt population. We present a
series of event studies of Van Allen Probes observations. For each
event, we use inferred measurements of the cold plasma density during
plume crossings, in combination with magnetic and electric field
observations of ULF waves. The event studies show very different, and at
times contrasting, wave behaviour. This includes events where ULF waves
appear to be spatially confined within plume structures. Initial
estimates show that the localised patches of ULF wave power have
significant implications for radial diffusion processes, and highlights
the need for caution in estimating radial diffusion coefficients. We
suggest that the cold plasma dynamics is an important source of
uncertainty in radial diffusion models, and understanding cold
plasma-ULF wave coupling is a critical area of future investigations.
The Maleinoi in the framework of middle Byzantine aristocracy
Authors: Vlyssidou Vassiliki
Published: March 2024

This study examines the Maleinoi?s peculiar evolution, the beginnings of
which can be dated in the first half of the 9th century, and their complete
disappearance in the 12th century. Their political and social evolution,
like that of the Phokas family, stemmed from the need of the first two
emperors of the Macedonian dynasty to obtain strong footholds in the army,
countering the Armenian-Cappadocian aristocracy, hostile towards them, with
another one, whose origins lie in the Charsianon theme and Cappadocia.
During Romanos I Lekapenos? twenty-four-year reign, the Phokades and
Maleinoi fell into political obscurity and, therefore, any attempt to
restore the Macedonian dynasty entailed further strengthening the
Cappadocian aristocracy. However, the sources make it clear that, towards
the end of Constantine VII?s reign, the relations between the Maleinoi and
the Phokades began to change when the latter transformed from faithful
servants of the Macedonian family to its overthrowers. The study outlines
how the Macedonian dynasty, in its struggle against the provincial
aristocracy, eventually managed to undermine only the Cappadocian
aristocracy, especially the Maleinoi, who had remained loyal to it for over
a century. The Macedonian dynasty uprooted the pillar of support they had
painstakingly created.
A book and a crown: A Byzantine-Norman marriage project and its Hungarian aspects (Cod. Athon. Iviron 463 [Lambros 4583], corona graeca)
Authors: Egedi-Kovács Emese
Published: March 2024

Based on philological, linguistic, paleographic, codicological and iconographic examinations, this paper presents a hypothesis concerning the circumstances of the creation of the bilingual manuscript containing the Barlaam and Joasaph Romance (Iviron 463) and the questions related to the commissioner, also drawing attention to a possible Hungarian aspect. Namely, it is probable that the preparation of the manuscript of Iviron, as well as that of the lower part of the Hungarian Holy Crown, known as the corona graeca, can be linked to the same Byzantine-Norman marriage project, that which aimed to marry Constantine Doukas, son of Michael VII Doukas (crowned co-emperor shortly after his birth), to Olympias (Helene), daughter of Robert Guiscard. According to the hypothesis presented in the study, the two objects, the manuscript Iviron 463 (prepared in Constantinople and completed by the French translation, in all probability, in the same place and at the same time), as well as the corona graeca (which probably arrived around 1075 as a gift in Hungary) were both originally intended to be given to the Norman princess upon her arrival at Constantinople. In addition to detecting interesting iconographic elements the study proposes a new, more precise dating (1074/1078) for the Greek manuscript and the old French translation.
Between shaving and making peace with John II Comnenus when did the Venetians give up wearing long beards?
Authors: Marin Sérban
Published: March 2024

This paper discusses how the Venetian chronicles written in the 14th-18th
centuries represent the episode in which the ban on wearing beards in Venice
under Doge Domenico Michiel is connected to the hostilities with the
Byzantine Empire in the context of the expedition against Cephalonia in
1126. It is about a strange connection at the first glance; however, some
Venetian chroniclers that inserted this event were tempted to consider this
decision as an act of contempt against the Greeks that even made Emperor
John II Comnenus decide to end the hostilities and demand peace. The paper
also brings fragments that introduce this event in Venetian chronicles.

The beginnings of Byzantine musicology in Serbia: Achievements and impasses
Authors: Peno Vesna
Published: March 2024

The paper presents the circumstances in which musicological medievalism
emerged in Serbia after the Second World War as a separate discipline within
the research projects of the newly founded Institute of Musicology of the
Serbian Academy of Sciences. It focuses on the contributions of three first
musicologists medievalists: Milos Velimirovic, Stojan Lazarevic and
Dimitrije Stefanovic. It outlines the conditions under which these
researchers adopted the methodological principles of the Western
musicological school - Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae - which were current at
the time but soon became outdated. In light of the disagreements among
Western and Greek scholars regarding the approach to the interpretation of
the development of neumatic notation immediately before and after the fall
of Byzantium, the paper also shows the personal scholarly credo and
interests of certain Serbian researchers, as well as their (un)willingness
to adopt and even present new knowledge and trends to the wider academic
community.

DYNAMICS OF DISABILITY AMONG THE CHILD POPULATION DUE TO THE NERVOUS DISORDERS IN UKRAINE
Authors: Shkolnyk Mykhaylo , Sharhorodska Yevheniya
Published: March 2024

In the study, data from the state statistical reporting forms ‘Report on Children with Disabilities Aged 0-18 for the Years 2010-2022’ were analyzed using the statistical analysis of medical data. The disability analysis was conducted using absolute values and widely accepted intensive measures (the rate of first-time and overall disability per 10,000 of child population aged 0-17 inclusive) as well as extensive measures (the structure of first-time and overall disability by causes). The disability of children due to nervous system disorders (NSDs) represents a significant medical, social, and economic problem. Disorders of the central nervous system cause every seventh case of disability in children in Ukraine and rank third in terms of prevalence (with a relative weight of 14.7% in 2022) among all causes of childhood disability. Approximately half of all cases of disability due to NSDs (48.5% in 2022) are associated with cerebral palsy (CP). Among children newly recognized as disabled individuals, CP is the cause of disability in almost every fourth case (27.7% in 2022). The obtained data on the rate of firsttime and overall disability among children with NSDs will contribute to the development of an optimized model of rehabilitation assistance for children with this pathology and the implementation of modern rehabilitation technologies.
THE ROLE OF KINESIOTHERAPY IN COMBATING OBESITY AND SEDENTARY LIFESTYLES IN AMERICAN SOCIETY
Authors: Vasiltsova Viktoryia
Published: March 2024

This research confirms the pivotal role of kinesiotherapy in combating obesity and sedentary lifestyles and provides a foundational framework for future interventions and studies in this field. It underscores the importance of an integrated approach that combines physical therapy with lifestyle changes, paving the way for healthier and more active communities. The aim of this research is to gather and group the main methods of kinesiotherapy that are used to combat obesity and the problems associated with a sedentary lifestyle. This research underlines the efficacy of kinesiotherapy in combating obesity and sedentary lifestyles, highlighting various forms like Morning Hygiene Gymnastics (MHG) and Therapeutic Gymnastics (TG). MHG, ideal for starting the day with increased energy, focuses on general wellness, while TG is tailored to reduce body fat and improve cardiovascular health. Individualized exercises are emphasized for their role in addressing specific obesity and sedentarism needs. Additionally, therapeutic walking and aquatic exercises stand out for their low-impact, high-calorie-burn benefits, essential in obesity management. The study also stresses the importance of systematic, regular, and progressive exercise routines that are accessible and tailored to individual needs. By adhering to these principles, kinesiotherapy serves as a versatile and effective tool in promoting physical activity and countering the challenges of obesity and a sedentary lifestyle.
LEGAL PROTECTION OF A TRADEMARKS FROM DEEP LINKING IN THE DIGITAL WORLD
Authors: Dharmawan Ananda Fersa , Ruhiat Dea Rahmawaty , Amirulloh Muhamad
Published: March 2024

Issues surrounding the practice of deep linking as brand infringement represent a new transformation in the form of digital brand infringement. Legal protection against new forms of digital trademark infringement is urgently needed in order to protect brands as intellectual property rights in the ICT era. The approach method used in this research is normative juridical by using secondary data in the form of literature on laws and regulations, books and articles related to deep linking and brands. From the exposure and discussion of the act of deep linking of a brand digitally which is studied through the analysis in this article, it can be concluded that the theory and legal principles used in underlying the formation of a trademark protection law from deep linking as a trademark violation on the internet include the theory of brand protection in the era of ICT, the theory of development law and the theory of economic analysis of law (economic analysis of law). The principles that can underlie the law on trademark protection from deep linking include the Droit de Suite principle and the Good Faith principle. As a legal basis for civil lawsuits and criminal prosecution of deep linking of current brands, the articles contained in the ITE Law can be used because Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Marks and Geographical Indications does not yet regulate deep linking.
Análise do impacto da desigualdade de gênero no crescimento econômico: um estudo com dados em painel para o período 1960 e 2022
Authors: Marino Laura Alice Borriello , Videira Raphael Almeida
Published: March 2024

Este artigo trata da relação entre desigualdade de gênero e nível de crescimento econômico. Seu objetivo principal é testar a hipótese de que, quanto menor a desigualdade de gênero, maior será o crescimento econômico do país. Trabalhos como os de Klasen e Lamanna (2009), Er (2012) e Lechman e Kaur (2015) tratam do tema com diversas abordagens para avaliar a desigualdade de gênero, tais como o acesso da mulher a serviços de educação e inserção no mercado de trabalho e a relação dessas variáveis com o crescimento econômico. Neste artigo, utilizou-se a base de dados do Banco Mundial para o período de 1960 a 2022, sendo que a técnica econométrica adotada foi a de dados em painel. Os resultados encontrados mostram que as variáveis chave para a análise razão da participação feminina no mercado de trabalho e a razão da escolaridade feminina possuem sinais positivos e estatisticamente significantes. Desta forma, quanto menor a desigualdade de gênero em educação e em acesso à mercado de trabalho, maior o desenvolvimento econômico, tais resultados estão alinhados com trabalhos de Klasen e Lamanna (2009), Lincove (2008) e Thévenon et al (2012).This article deals with the relationship between gender inequality and the level of economic growth. Its main objective is to test the hypothesis that the lower the gender inequality, the higher the country's economic growth. Works such as those by Klasen and Lamanna (2009), Er (2012) and Lechman and Kaur (2015) deal with the subject using different approaches to assess gender inequality, such as women's access to education services and insertion into the labor market and the relationship between these variables and economic growth. In this article, the World Bank database was used for the period from 1960 to 2022, and the econometric technique adopted was panel data. The results show that the key variables for the analysis, the ratio of female participation in the labor market and the ratio of female schooling, have positive and statistically significant signs. Thus, the lower the gender inequality in education and access to the labor market, the greater the economic development. These results are in line with studies by Klasen and Lamanna (2009), Lincove (2008) and Thévenon et al (2012).

Does Corporate Sustainability Reporting Influence Financial Performance? Evidence from Kenyan Listed Companies
Authors: Masila Christopher Kitali , Nyamute Winnie , Okiro Kennedy , Irungu Moris
Published: March 2024

Corporate sustainability reporting is currently a prominent issue in the global business world, with companies worldwide actively publishing sustainability reports to meet the demands of different stakeholders regarding social, environmental, economic, and governance concerns. The existing literature has proved that companies that participate aggressively in corporate sustainability reporting tend to have higher firm value, experience tremendous growth rates in terms of size and profitability, have a high capital and asset base, are lowly geared, and gain a competitive edge in the industry in which they operate. The study examines the link between corporate sustainability reporting and the financial performance of firms listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Corporate governance, social, environmental, and economic pillars were used as indicators of corporate sustainability reporting. The Global Reporting Initiative framework will be employed to establish the corporate sustainability reporting scores and construct the sustainability reporting index. Financial performance was measured by return on assets. The study is anchored on the stakeholder theory supported by legitimacy and the tripled bottom-line theories. The target population comprises sixty-seven companies listed in Kenya. Secondary data was collected from the company integrated reports, published accounts, and the accounts filed with the Nairobi Securities Exchange for the period 2011 to 2020. The study adopted a cross-sectional correlational research design. Descriptive statistical tests carried out include mean, standard deviation, kurtosis and skewness. Correlation analysis was done to test and establish the direction of the relationship between the study variables. Regression analysis was employed to test the hypotheses of the study. Generally, the study findings are that corporate sustainability reporting had a significant positive effect on financial performance. The empirical results of this study showed that corporate sustainability reporting led to improved financial performance among listed companies, although sustainability reporting in Kenya was purely voluntary. Therefore, Kenya’s Capital Markets Authority should consider making corporate sustainability reporting compulsory for all listed companies. Further research can be extended to include non-listed companies and the application of other sustainability reporting frameworks.
Keywords: Corporate Sustainability Reporting, Financial Performance, Global Reporting Initiative, Nairobi Securities Exchange.

Basic sanitation is influenced by many factors, one of which is welfare. As a component of welfare formation, income directly or indirectly influences sanitation behaviour, impacting a person's health. In children, poor health and nutritional intake are one of the causes of stunting. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family income and the availability of basic sanitation at a stunting locus, one of which is in a village in Bandung Regency. This research method uses quantitative correlational methods with secondary data analysis. It obtained 204 respondents based on purposive sampling calculations, which were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The study found that the community's income was below the Regency UMK by 58.8%, equivalent to UMK IDR 5,000,000 as much as 38.7%, above IDR 5,000,000 as much as 2.5%. Meanwhile, 77.9% of clean water sources, 70.1% of waste management (latrines) and wastewater, and 5.9% of waste disposal meet the requirements of good condition. The Chi-Square test shows that income has no significant relationship with clean water sources (r=0.448), latrine management (r=0.325), and garbage disposal (r=0.240). So there is no relationship between family income and the availability of basic sanitation, considering that other factors affect the availability of basic sanitation.
