Does Executive Compensation Reinforce the Influence of Political Connection and Investment Opportunity Set on Firm Value?
Authors: Kholid Arif Wahyu Nur , Rahmawati Evi
Published: June 2024

Purpose: Executives may be crucial in managing the political connection and investment opportunity set (IOS). Compensations are given to motivate executives to enhance their performance to manage it. Therefore, this study examined the moderation of executive compensation in the influence of political connections and IOS on the firm value.Method: The study used samples of all listed companies in IDX and applied a quantitative approach from 2015 to 2020. Research data were obtained from www.idx.co.id and OSIRIS. This research employed a purposive sampling method, with a firm year of 1,242 observations. Hypothesis testing was carried out utilizing multivariate regression using panel data. This research used the Fixed Effect Model to process the data and employed the different proxies for measuring IOS to examine the robustness model.Findings: This study discovered that IOS positively affected firm value. Furthermore, using different measurements of IOS, this study consistently found that IOS positively affected firm value. Moreover, when IOS was measured by MVBV, the moderating variable of executive compensation provided significant results because there was a wedge of measurement between the MVBV and Tobin’s Q. However, this study could not find that executive compensation had a moderate effect. It indicated that the executive compensation could not reinforce the interaction between IOS and political connections on firm value. In addition, political connections did not influence the firm’s value. On the other hand, the IOS positively affected firm value. Even though IOS was regressed using another proxy, i.e., MVBV and Net PPE, the result was still reliable that IOS positively affected firm value.Novelty: This study was developed from previous research by considering executive compensation as a moderating variable and examined two proxies to measure the IOS and developed one proxy, i.e., net PPE ratio, to measure IOS. Furthermore, this study used the balance panel method, with an observation period of six years.

Published: June 2024

The libraries must be able to transform into a digital library so they can build a digital society and serve the digital generation. Problems occur when the library itself fails to develop the digital culture of its employees which results in the failure of transformation into a digital library. This article is an experience in undergoing and observing the efforts of the Library of East Kalimantan Province to transform itself into a digital library. This effort has lasted until now, where one of the obstacles is that most employees are digital immigrant generations. Data collection was done by remembering and writing down the process from 1992 to the present. The analysis process was employed by looking at every meaning of the writing in the diary (content analysis). In 2015, The Library Agency of East Kalimantan Province of Indonesia obtained an A rating in the management of digital libraries from the National Library of Indonesia. There are three factors that need to be considered in the transformation effort, namely formal and informal education for employees, leadership, and employee mental development. This article is beneficial for government institutions in facing the constraints of transformation into digital libraries, especially dealing with employees who are mostly immigrant digital generations.

In general, the focus of this study analyzes the strengthening of solidarity through social media networks in communities living in the Ciliwung River Basin. There are two objectives of this study, namely analyzing social media can strengthen the solidarity and the forms of solidarity that are built on the community affected by floods and landslides in the Ciliwung River Basin. This research was conducted in a community that resides in the Ciliwung River, Kedunghalang Village, North Bogor District, Bogor City. Theoretical analysis uses social media theory from VanDijk and the theory of solidarity from Durkheim. Data collection techniques were carried out by non-participant observation, and in-depth interviews. The data analysis technique was carried out by the Milles and Huberman analysis model among neigboarhoods (RT) and hamlet/groups of neighboarhoods (RW) level. The results of the study show that social media is able to strengthen community solidarity in the Ciliwung Riverbank, a disaster prone area. Solidarity built through social media are social relations, social norms and inter-household trust. Social relations built on social media networks at the level of individuals and groups are high. The form of built solidarity is mechanical solidarity that has a strong collective awareness, trust and mutual assistance. The novelty of this research shows that social media network is able to form social relations in strengthening solidarity.

Published: June 2024

The aim of the work was to obtain mathematical static estimates of the influence of various factors on the degree of hydrostabilization of pyrocondensate obtained during the pyrolysis of straight-run gasoline, and an attempt to determine the most optimal process mode. The experimental data obtained earlier made it possible to determine the temperature range, duration, volume of the catalyst, and the ratio of hydrogen to feedstock necessary for the effective hydrostabilization of the pyrocondensate, which made it possible to narrow the range of variation of the process parameters. At the same time, the task was set to find the optimal conditions that ensure the maximum degree of hydrogenation of the condensate. The planning of the experiment was carried out according to the scheme of a full factorial experiment 24. According to the results of an active experiment carried out using mathematical planning methods, the major role of variable factors was determined, a mathematical model was obtained, and the optimal mode for conducting the pyro-condensate hydrostabilization process with the presence of a nickel-chromium catalyst was determined: temperature - 80° C, the ratio of hydrogen volume to raw material, equal to 0.3, catalyst volume - 5 sm3, process duration - 120 min.  The temperature has the greatest influence on the degree of pyro-condensate hydrogenation.

Authors: TYKHONOVYCH K. , KRYVORUCHKO T. , NIKITINA N. , BEREHOVYI S. , NEPORADA K.
Published: June 2024

Background. Paclitaxel is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent used to treat breast, ovarian, and other cancers. At the same time, paclitaxel causes peripheral neuropathy as a side effect in 45%—70% of patients. Aim. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy on the development of pathological changes in the salivary glands of animals and to explore the possibility of correction of the identified changes with vitamin B/ATP complex. Materials and Methods. To simulate toxic neuropathy, animals were injected i/p with paclitaxel 2 mg/kg for 4 days. In order to correct the identified changes, rats were injected i/m with vitamin B/ATP complex (1 mg/ kg) for 9 days. In the homogenate of the submandibular salivary glands, α-amylase activity, total proteolytic activity, total antitryptic activity, the content of medium mass molecules, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), oxidatively modified proteins, and catalase activity were determined. Results. A significant increase in the content of oxidatively modified proteins, medium mass molecules, and the content of TBARS and significant decrease in the activity of catalase and amylase were determined in the salivary glands of animals with toxic neuropathy compared to these parameters in intact animals. Administration of vitamin B/ATP complex for 9 days against the background of paclitaxel-induced neuropathy led to normalization of antitryptic activity and amylase activity, a significant decrease in the content of oxidatively modified proteins, medium mass molecules, and TBARS along with a significant increase in catalase activity in the salivary glands of animals compared to the untreated rats with neuropathy. Conclusion. Paclitaxel-induced neuropathy caused the development of pathological changes in the salivary glands of rats, which was evidenced by a carbonyl- oxidative stress and impaired protein synthetic function. The correction with vitamin B/ATP complex restored the protein-synthetic function and the proteinase-inhibitor balance, suppressed the oxidative stress and normalized free radical processes in the salivary glands of rats.
PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF THE DENSITY OF TUMOR-INFILTRATING LYMPHOCYTES AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH CLINICAL-MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF COLON ADENOCARCINOMAS
Authors: SHKURUPII B. , ZAKHARTSEVA L.
Published: June 2024

Aim. To study the prognostic value of the density of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and its association with other clinical-morphological parameters in colon adenocarcinomas (CAC). Materials and Methods. 236 CAC samples were examined. TILs density was estimated as the percentage of tumor stromal area occupied by TILs. By the index of TILs density, the patients were divided into 3 groups: TILs 0—9% (n = 88); TILs 10—39% (n = 106); TILs > 40% (n = 42). Dependent on this index, their overall survival (OS) was analyzed. Results. Kaplan — Meier curves revealed a significant (p < 0.001) difference in the OS for patients with different TILs infiltration intensities. Multivariate Cox’s proportional hazard regression model analysis has confirmed that patients with moderate TILs density (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.34—0.96, p = 0.035) had better OS rates compared to low TILs density. TILs were associated with the stage (p < 0.001), lymph node metastasis pN (p < 0.001), distant metastasis M (p < 0.001), and the patient’s outcome (p < 0.001). Conclusion. TILs can be considered an additional prognostic tool during regular histological examination and are strongly associated with the most significant clinical-morphological features of CAC.
PSAMMOMA BODIES IN LYMPH NODES OF THE NECK: POSSIBLE PRECURSOR OF LOCOREGIONAL METASTASES OF PAPILLARY THYROID CARCINOMA
Authors: DINETS A. , GOROBEIKO M. , LOVIN A. , DIBROVA V. , HOPERIA V.
Published: June 2024

Background. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of well-differentiated thyroid cancer accounting for up to 80% of all thyroid neoplasms. Metastases to the regional lymph nodes (RLN) of the neck are a feature of its biological aggressiveness. The presence of psammoma bodies may be considered a pathomorphological feature of PTC in addition to the papillary structure of tumor and specific nuclear changes. The aim of the study was to evaluate a clinical value of psammoma bodies in the RLN of PTC patients. Materials and Methods. 91 patients with PTC who were surgically treated at the Verum Expert Clinic were enrolled in the study. The clinical and pathomorphological data were retrieved from the archival medical records. Results. According to the results of the clinico-morphological analysis, 51 patients (56%) with PTC had metastases in the RLN of the neck, and 40 (44%) patients had no metastases. Among 51 patients with metastases in the RLN, in 4 patients psammoma bodies in the RLN and tumor tissue were identified. In 3 of these 4 patients, the size of the primary PTC tumor was less than 10 mm, but an aggressive cancer course such as significant number of metastases in the RLN or multifocal growth was found in all these cases. Conclusions. The presence of psammoma bodies in RLN and primary PTC tumor could be suggested as a predictor of metastasis to lymph nodes. The detection of point echogenic foci in the lymph nodes by ultrasound at the preoperative stage is a sign of psammoma bodies. This finding can be useful for improving the efficacy in selection of surgical treatment tactics for the optimal neck dissection by planning neck dissection in the presence of such point echogenic foci at the preoperative stage and performing regular check-ups of the patients.

The Unwanted Soft Spot: A Rare Case of Biventricular Non-compaction Cardiomyopathy Causing Heart Failure in an Adult Filipino Male
Authors: Tugade Reynald Evan R , Rodriguez Zabrina , Yap Rommel , Gonzales-Porciuncula Lea Arceli
Published: June 2024

Biventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy is a rare genetic cardiomyopathy caused by an early cessation of compaction of trabecular meshwork during embryogenesis. The clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic to severe reduced ventricular dysfunction. We present a rare case of biventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy in an adult Filipino male presenting with heart failure symptoms. A 61-year-old male presented with a 1-year history of easy fatigability accompanied by bipedal oedema. ECG showed AF in rapid ventricular response. Echocardiography revealed wall motion abnormality with mid-range ejection fraction. Cardiac MRI showed biventricular dilatation with reduced systolic function. He was stable throughout the hospital stay and discharged with guideline-directed heart failure medications. Biventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy is rare. However, it can be seen as a spectrum of phenotypic manifestations as this may be a form of cardiomyopathies. The management primarily depends on the clinical manifestation, as no specific treatment protocol exists. A correct diagnosis is essential because of the possible associations and the need for long-term management and screening of family members.
El vallenato de protesta: el caso de Máximo Jiménez (1949-2021)
Authors: Zabaleta Ivo
Published: June 2024

Este artículo caracteriza desde un perspectiva musicológica el denominado “vallenato de protesta” a través de las canciones del cantautor Máximo Jiménez (1949-2021) en su contexto socio-histórico. A pesar de la existencia de un número considerable de canciones de vallenato con contenido social y político, las de Jiménez constituyen un caso único con contenidos abiertamente políticos. Su asociación con algunos intelectuales de izquierda de la década de 1970 y su compromiso social y político finalmente lo llevaron a la cárcel y al exilio. A través de un análisis comparativo entre algunas canciones de Jiménez y otras canciones políticas latinoamericanas, en este trabajo se intenta generar aportes al estudio de la relación entre política y música en el contexto específico de Colombia y del género musical denominado vallenato.

Purists Will Wince”: Constructing Authenticity During the Bossa Boom
Authors: Sejkora Markus
Published: June 2024

After a short historical introduction this paper argues that the lack of a binding theoretical framework for the parameters that define the ‘bossa sound’ led to the emergence of “authenticity” as a value term by which to judge bossa nova played by non-Brazilians. Through the analysis of historical journalistic and promotional sources are, this study reveals modes of advertising, marketing and criticising bossa nova products that frequently rely on pointing out the presence or the lack of hypothetical authenticity. It also concludes that this authenticity discourse can be seen as a template for 19th century bourgeois aesthetic beliefs and notions of US American hegemony.
La música en Ocaña (noreste de Colombia), 1860-1940: una aproximación histórica
Authors: Calle Poveda Felipe
Published: June 2024

A través del análisis de fuentes musicales, iconográficas y organológicas se muestra como, en Ocaña, ciudad del noreste de Colombia, durante el último cuarto del siglo XIX, las redes de movilidad de inmigrantes trajeron la adopción de repertorios europeos, como la ópera y la música de piano. Estas se utilizaron como etiquetas de la modernidad ayudando a atenuar las diferencias de clase heredadas del régimen colonial. Sin embargo, el aislamiento de Ocaña debido a la guerra civil de 1899-1902, dio origen a repertorios musicales locales, música que progresivamente adoptó estilos binarios y sincopados de la música circumcaribeña, adoptados con la llegada de los medios de reproducción de sonido y la actividad de las bandas en la ciudad.
Los motivos de Lucrecia. Una consideración filosófica sobre la violación y el darse muerte
Authors: Neira Hernán
Published: June 2024

Al dar a conocer que ha sido violada y darse muerte, Lucrecia ensambla un hecho privado que interesa al Estado y está abierto a la discusión de todos. Con ello traspasa la responsabilidad del próximo acto político a los patricios. Los análisis que realizan Agustín de Hipona y Kant de ese sucidio, centrados en el pudor y el honor, tienen en común soslayar que Lucrecia testimonia del crimen, por lo que no vislumbran la cadena de acciones que detona la heroína, ignorando el interés público del acontecimiento. Una consideración filosófica sobre el suicidio y sobre el testimonio de Lucrecia permite esclarecer algunos aspectos infravalorados de la heroína romana.
Las definiciones estéticas de arte y sus supuestos
Authors: Castro Sixto
Published: June 2024

En este texto se presenta una lectura crítica de las definiciones de arte que lo vinculan de modo necesario con las propiedades estéticas. Se analizan los elementos centrales de los que dependen estas definiciones y se muestra su carácter problemático. Asimismo, se hace patente su vinculación con algunos intentos de ofrecer un enfoque intercultural y universalista de las artes y se concluye que, si bien las propiedades estéticas tienen una gran importancia en la teorización sobre las artes, es necesario tomarlas no tanto como elementos esenciales cuanto como propiedades en sentido aristotélico.
La ética de la “virtud” en la obra de José Ortega y Gasset. Contribución del filósofo español a una tradición con dos grandes momentos: el kantiano y el aristotélico
Authors: De Haro Honrubia Alejandro
Published: June 2024

Este trabajo de investigación versa sobre la ética de la virtud en la obra de José Ortega y Gasset, mostrando su contribución a una tradición con dos grandes momentos: el kantiano y el aristotélico. En sus inicios, Ortega refiere las virtudes al campo de la ciencia y de la moral —la moral como ciencia dirá Ortega en referencia a Kant—, aunque también al campo de la política rescatando la idea aristotélica de comunidad. En un segundo periodo de su pensamiento, su idea de virtud ya no responderá a ningún ideal científico o deber ser moral y político, así como tampoco la referirá Ortega al ámbito de la comunidad de la misma manera en que lo hacía en su mocedad, sino a un orden ético vital y estimativo donde prevalece la posición del individuo.
La disputatio scholastica reconstruida de acuerdo con fuentes filosóficas manuscritas e impresas que circularon en la Nueva Granada

Published: June 2024

Este artículo se propone reconstruir histórica y metodológicamente la disputatio scholastica y acercarse a la manera como era ejercitado este tipo de juego dialéctico en los colegios jesuitas de la América Hispánica. Examinando fuentes manuscritas e impresas, se enumeran y discuten las reglas que los participantes de los certámenes filosóficos de la escolástica barroca obedecían. La estructura lógica y dialéctica de la disputatio es examinada a la luz del método de discusión abstraído y sistematizado por Aristóteles en los Tópicos. Se destaca el lugar privilegiado de la capacidad de distinguir sentidos como instrumento de la dialéctica en la disputatio scholastica.

Platón y la Geometría
Authors: Flórez Jorge Alejandro
Published: June 2024

El presente artículo argumenta que hay un desarrollo en la postura de Platón frente a la geometría. A partir del primer contacto con la geometría, Platón se sintió atraído hacia la geometría por sus sorprendentes resultados. Por tal motivo, en un primer momento, Platón presenta en el Menón y en el Teeteto a la geometría como una ciencia ejemplar y le pide a los interlocutores que imiten sus procesos. En un segundo momento, Platón en la República incluye a la geometría dentro de la filosofía, hace que el método de la geometría fundamente a su máxima ciencia dialéctica, incluye a los entes geométricos dentro del edificio ontológico, y a la ciencia geométrica dentro de las disciplinas que el rey-filosofo debe estudiar para ascender a las ideas. En un tercer momento, en el Timeo, la geometría es la ciencia básica que utiliza el Demiurgo para componer al universo.

Breeders are focused on developing high-yielding genotypes that can grow in semi-arid regions under water stress. A field experiment was conducted during the 2020 to 2021 cropping season at the experimental field of ITGC, Setif. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of durum wheat genotypes for agronomic traits growing under semi-arid conditions. The 10 genotypes evaluated were grown in a randomized block with three replications. Analysis of variance showed that the genotype effect was significant for most parameters studied. The best grain yield was recorded for genotypes G3 (3.52 t ha-1) G2 (3.48 t ha-1), and G5 (2.89 t ha-1); thus, they maintained the highest water content (81.09, 84.95, and 84.34%, respectively) and lower temperatures under these conditions. Simple linear regression showed that grain yield correlated positively with the number of spikes, and the number of grains per spike. The principal component (PC) analysis classified both genotypes G2 and G3 as high grain yielding genotypes; by contrast, genotypes Jupare C 2001, Bouatleb, and G1 were low-yielding.

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) has been recognized for multiple health benefits due to bioactive compounds. Dehydration is usually the most widely used method to preserve and concentrate these elements. However, it can also affect and totally or partially degrade the quality of the product under incorrect processing conditions. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of drying parameters on Melissa’s physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory properties. In total, four treatments were analyzed according to the experimental design (T1: 25 °C and 1.5 m s-1, T2: 25 °C and 3.0 m s-1, T3: 45 °C and 1.5 m s-1, and T4: 45 °C and 3.0 m s-1). Drying kinetics were determined using a vertical airflow dryer and a continuous weighing system. The results were compared with fresh leaves. The findings obtained show that increasing temperature and varying drying speed reduces moisture content and aw but increases enzymatic activity and essential oil content. In the drying process, temperature has a greater effect in the initial stages of the process, while drying speed on the internal structure of the raw material. By optimizing the drying conditions, it is possible to reduce the drying time by 44%. Page’s model showed excellent ability to predict drying kinetics under various drying conditions (RMSE <0.04 and R2>0.98). In terms of color, lightness decreased because of temperature, while a* and b* values were affected by non-enzymatic browning. Treatment T4 was the product with the highest acceptability. The findings obtained provide a theoretical basis to optimize the lemon balm drying process. Drying Melissa at 45 °C and 3.0 m s-1 can improve the quality and composition of the final product.

Saponins are widely recognized for their biological properties, which has led to the development of several research projects applicable to the agricultural sector. In this sense, the aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo antifungal effect of saponins extracted from quinoa husks, using the crude extract, and incorporated in a formulation against Botrytis cinerea in strawberries. The extraction of saponins by the maceration method was studied, where the effect of temperature, time, and ethanol concentration on the extraction of saponins was evaluated; the process was optimized using a central composite design (CCD). The in vitro antifungal effect of the crude extract of saponins was evaluated by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), while the in vitro and in vivo antifungal effect of the formulation was determined by the mycelial inhibition percentage and control percentage, respectively. The optimum extraction point of saponins was obtained at 49.8 °C, 0.367 h, and 47.4% ethanol. On the other hand, the antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea was dependent on the concentration of saponins; in the in vitro evaluation the MIC of the crude extract was 8.25 mg mL-1 of saponins and the mycelial inhibition percentage of the formulation was higher than 90%. In the in vivo evaluation of the formulation, the percentage of control ranged from 63.03 to 76.14%, compared to 61.5% control exhibited by the chemical fungicide Carbendazim.

Soil acidity poses a challenge to crop production by limiting the availability of nutrients for plants. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a natural waste-based fertilizer composed of Mytilus chilensis seashells, coffee bean wastes, banana peels, and wood ashes on lettuce growth and physiological quality. The seashells were used with organic matter (W-OM), without organic matter (Wo-OM), and a mixture of equal parts of W-OM and Wo-OM (50:50). The coffee bean wastes, banana peels, and wood ashes were used as ingredients. The soil pH, chlorophyll index in the lettuce leaves, and nitrogen level (in the soil and leaf) were measured for a period of 66 days. Vitamin C content in the harvested leaves was measured. The W-OM fertilizer allowed for an increase the soil pH from less than 6.5 to 7.0±0.5. The nitrogen provided by the coffee bean waste was partially available to the plant root, which decreased the chlorophyll index in the lettuce leaves. The studied fertilizer (W-OM, Wo-OM, and 50:50) allowed to increase of vitamin C content in the lettuce leaves. In conclusion, the natural waste-based fertilizer showed a promising effect in alleviating soil acidity and enhancing the nutritional quality of lettuce plants.

The aim of the study was to determine the physicochemical and biological properties, such as relative density, absolute density, acid value, saponification value, ester value, freezing point, fragrance retention, antioxidant and antibacterial activity of MaEO. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis was used to analyze the chemical composition of essential oils (EO), and the obtained results displayed those 45 compounds were identified and quantified; among them, the main component was Terpinen-4-ol (44.55%). In addition, the antioxidant capacity (AC) was evaluated by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay with the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 360 mg mL-1. Moreover, MaEO also had excellent antibacterial activity (AA) against certain types of bacteria, using the paper disc diffusion method for antibiotic susceptibility testing. The diameter of the inhibitory zones were 12.33, 14, 15.67, and 24.33 mm for Bacillus cereus (ATCC 11778), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Salmonella enterica (ATCC 13076), and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), respectively.
Einsichten aus Räumen
Authors: Hartmann Ina
Published: June 2024

Die Studie Einsichten aus Räumen widmet sich der Raumkonzeption im belletristischen Werk von Richard Weiner (1884-1937), Věra Linhartová (*1938) und Daniela Hodrová (*1946). Sie alle wenden sich vom konkreten topografischen, erleb- und erfahrbaren Raum ab und fokussieren den abstrakten, topologisch strukturierten und poetisch transformierten Raum. Topologische Raumtransformation meint hier also die Erschließung neuer Raumqualitäten bzw. die Entwicklung einer neuen Raumwahrnehmung. Auf der Grundlage umfangreicher Einzelanalysen schlägt die Autorin ein Interpretationsschema vor, mit dem topologische Raumpoetiken in den Werken anderer Autor:innen unter Berücksichtigung der Kategorien Subjektivität, Sprache, Zeit, Erzählform und Materialität untersucht werden können.
