Groundwater is fresh water that is stored in an underground zone, which is less vulnerable to pollution than surface water and communally used for economic, social, and ecological purposes. This study aimed to evaluate groundwater recharge potential by using a geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing in the Ziway Abijata sub-basin, Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia. In the present study, the six parameters of soil drainage, slope, lineament density, drainage density, soil texture, and land use land cover were used. ArcGIS 10.3, ERDAS Imagine 2015, IDRISI Selva 17, Arc SWAT 10.3, and Google Earth Pro were applied. The results revealed that about 58 km2 (2.1%) and 1,442.5 km2 (52.9%) were ranked as excellent and good for the groundwater recharge potential. Consequently, about 1,183.2 km2 (43.4%) was covered by a moderate groundwater recharge zone. Larger parts of the study area were dominated by good and moderate groundwater recharge potential. Based on the results, we recommended that decision-makers, environmentalists, geologists, and other stakeholders will have a critical role in the improvements of the future sustainability and proper management of groundwater in the study area. Further researchers can investigate other ecological parameters and socio-economic data that were not included in the present study.

Objective:

Insomnia is a condition that causes sleep problems, and many people suffer
from it. Patients with this disorder have difficulty with beginning or continuation of sleep, so they
are exhausted all day long, and their performance reduces. This study was designed to assess the
efficacy of capsules that contain tomato extract in patients with primary insomnia.

Methods:

In this study, 70 patients with primary insomnia were assigned to 2 groups randomly: intervention
and control. The intervention group used to take tomato capsules every night for 2 weeks,
and the placebo one used to take placebo capsules every night for 2 weeks. All patients used to fill out
Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaires before and
after the intervention. ISI and PSQI results were analyzed separately on SPSS software.

Results:

A total of 70 patients (35 in the intervention group and 35 in the control group), including
50 females and 20 males, were studied. Female to male ratio and the rate of unemployment were
significantly higher in the intervention group (in both cases P < 0.001), but there was no significant
difference between the intervention and control groups in other characteristics (Age, marital
status, weight, height, education; in all cases P > 0.05). At the end of the study, the amount of actual
sleep had increased, and the delay in falling asleep decreased in both groups; the two groups at
the end of the study were not significantly different in terms of these two variables (P > 0.05). The
ISI score in both groups decreased significantly at the end of the study, and the PSQI score in both
groups decreased significantly at the end of the study (In both cases, P < 0.05). The absolute value
of ISI score change in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (P <
0.001); But the absolute value of PSQI score change was not significantly different between the
two groups (P = 0.102). Most importantly, the improvement of both ISI and PSQI scores in the intervention
group was significantly better than the control group (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:

This study showed that tomato capsules have sleep-inducing effects, although there
was no significant difference in the amount of actual sleep, and the delay in falling sleep in the intervention
group compared to the control group.

El 5 de mayo del presente año la Organización Mundial de la Salud decretó el fin de la emergencia sanitaria por el Covid-19. La crisis significó 673 millones de contagios y 6,74 fallecidos en 260 países y territorios.

Su ocurrencia adelantó un conjunto de cambios que se venían manifestando en diversos países como consecuencia de la irrupción de las tecnologías digitales denominadas 4.0, especialmente en las economías más avanzadas. En nuestra región latinoamericana la pandemia aceleró la adopción de estos cambios incorporando nuevas formas de trabajo en las empresas, instituciones públicas y universidades. El denominado teletrabajo hoy es una realidad que llegó para quedarse. Muchas instituciones lo han adoptado de modo permanente modificando sus formas de funcionamiento y adaptando sus plantas físicas y sus protocolos de comunicación. En las universidades las tecnologías están cambiando la manera en que se realizan los procesos formativos y las instancias de colaboración en los equipos de investigación. Antes de la pandemia en los países avanzados el 50% de PIB tenía su origen en sectores económicos intensivos en tecnologías 4,0. En Chile y otros países latinoamericanos esta realidad no superaba el 10%. Al día de hoy es seguro que estos porcentajes habrán aumentado.
Genomic analyses elucidate S-locus evolution in response to intra-specific losses of distyly Primula vulgaris
Authors: Mora-Carrera Emiliano , Stubbs Rebecca Lynn , Potente Giacomo , Yousefi Narjes , Keller Barbara , Vos Juriaan de , Szövényi Peter , Conti Elena
Published: July 2023

Distyly, a floral dimorphism that promotes outcrossing, is controlled by
a hemizygous genomic region known as the S-locus. Disruptions of genes
within the S-locus are responsible for the loss of distyly and the
emergence of homostyly, a floral monomorphism that favors selfing. Using
whole genome resequencing data of distylous and homostylous individuals
from populations of Primula vulgaris and leveraging high-quality
reference genomes of Primula we tested, for the first time,
predictions about the evolutionary consequences of transitions to
selfing on S-locus genes. Our results confirm the presence of previously
reported homostyle-specific, loss-of-function mutations in the exons of
the S-locus gene CYPᵀ, while also revealing a previously
undetected structural rearrangement in CYPᵀ associated with the
shift to homostyly. Additionally, we discovered that the promoter region
of CYPᵀ in distylous and homostylous individuals is identical,
suggesting that down-regulation of CYPᵀ via mutations in its
promoter region is not a cause of shift to homostyly. Furthermore, we
found that hemizygosity leads to reduced genetic diversity and less
efficient purifying selection in S-locus genes compared to genes outside
the S-locus, and that the shift to homostyly further lowers genetic
diversity, as expected for mating-system shifts. Finally, we tested, for
the first time, long-standing theoretical models of changes in S-locus
genotypes during early stages of the transition to homostyly, supporting
the assumption that two (diploid) copies of the S-locus might reduce
homostyle viability.
Real Earnings Management during Economic Downturns
Authors: Duong Hong Kim
Published: July 2023

This study examines the impact of economic downturns on real earnings management activities in an international setting. Using a sample of 27 countries between 1988 and 2016, I find that the extent of real earnings management increases and that the substitution relation between real earnings management and accrual-based earnings management becomes stronger during economic downturns. Managers tend to rely on real earnings management to avoid the threat of greater scrutiny during economic downturns. The effect of an economic downturn on real earnings management is stronger for firms with high earnings management incentives, such as to avoid reporting earnings decreases and losses, to just meet or beat analysts’ earnings forecasts, and to facilitate the success of seasonal equity offerings. The findings suggest that real earnings management comes at a high cost. Firms sacrifice future performance when engaging in real earnings management.

Lower Defeat Thresholds for Minority Shareholders and Corporate Governance: Evidence from the Australian “Two-Strikes” Rule
Authors: Bugeja Martin , da Silva Rosa Raymond , Shan Yaowen , Walter Terry , Yermack David
Published: July 2023

This study assesses the impact of minority shareholder empowerment via lower defeat thresholds in “say-on-pay” votes on CEO compensation and career prospects for directors. We exploit the adoption of the Australian “two-strikes” rule as a quasi-exogenous shock, which empowers shareholders to vote on board dismissal if a firm’s remuneration report receives 25 percent or more dissent votes for two consecutive years. Using a difference-in-differences methodology, we find that firms respond to a “strike” by curbing excessive CEO pay. Under the two-strikes regime, independent directors are held more accountable for poor oversight and experience significant reputational penalties in terms of turnover and the loss of outside directorships subsequent to receiving a strike. The results are mainly driven by firms receiving a nonmajority strike, indicating that the effectiveness of the two-strikes regime stems largely from the lower defeat threshold.

Authors: Berg Anna Korsgaard , Grauslund Annemarie Cecilie , Sørensen Fiona , Thorsen Steffen Ullitz , Thyssen Jacob P. , Zachariae Claus , Svensson Jannet
Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVE

Diabetes devices that deliver insulin and measure blood glucose levels are cornerstones in modern treatment of type 1 diabetes. However, their use is frequently associated with the development of skin problems, particularly eczema and wounds. Proper skin care may prevent skin problems, yet evidence-based information from interventional studies is missing. Providing this information is the aim of this study.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This cluster-controlled intervention study tested the efficacy of a basic skin care program (including use of lipid cream, removal, and avoidance of disinfection). A total of 170 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes were included and assigned either to the intervention group (n = 112) or the control group (n = 58). Participants were seen quarterly the first year after device initiation, with clinical assessment and interview in an unblinded setting.

RESULTS

Eczema or wounds were observed in 33.6% of the intervention group compared with 46.6% of control participants (absolute difference, 12.9% [95% CI −28.7%, 2.9%]; P = 0.10). The adjusted odds of wound development were decreased by 71% in the intervention compared with control group (for wounds, odds ratio 0.29 [95% CI 0.12, 0.68]; P = 0.005). In total, only eight infections were seen, without a higher frequency in the intervention group, despite advice to omit disinfection.

CONCLUSIONS

These data indicate our basic skin care program partially prevented diabetes device–induced skin reactions. However, more preventive strategies with other adhesives, patches, and/or types of lotions are needed for optimized prevention.

Authors: Telnova Hanna , Bytsiuk Veronica , Khodin Dmytro
Published: July 2023

Annotation. The aim of the work is to substantiate the areas of energy saving potential management of the industrial sector of the national economy. To achieve this goal, the methods of economic and mathematical modeling were used and a function was obtained that reflects the relationship of structural changes with the energy intensity of Ukraine's GDP. The assessment of the energy saving potential in Ukrainian industry by structural and technical factors allowed to prove a positive impact not only on the energy efficiency of industrial production, but also to determine the potential reduction of energy intensity of the country's GDP by supply of primary energy resources. Thus, structural shifts in the economy of Ukraine towards reducing the share of industrial production and increasing the share of services in the field of information technology, scientific and technical activities, lower rates of primary energy supply compared to GDP, it is possible to achieve target energy efficiency targets by 2030. The result of the research is to determine the potential reduction of energy intensity of the country's GDP by the supply of primary energy resources as a result of structural and technical changes (reduction of industrial production and increasing the share of services in information technology, science and technology, lower primary energy supply GDP, modernization of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning technologies by reducing coal consumption). The scientific novelty of the study is to improve methods of analysis and forecasting of energy saving potential in industrial production of Ukraine. Improving the technical characteristics of industrial production will significantly reduce the share of coal and natural gas savings. In the sectoral context, the greatest potential for energy savings in industry is to modernize technologies for the supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning by reducing coal consumption. A significant share of potential energy saving technologies is made by the processing industry mainly due to the reduction of natural gas consumption at metallurgical enterprises. The practical significance of the study is determined by further development of appropriate management measures that can affect energy efficiency of Ukraine's industrial sector.
CORPORATIVISM IN THE 1920s-1930s IN POLITICS AND ECONOMY IN THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT
Authors: Mann Ruslan , Baranov Gleb
Published: July 2023

Based on the analysis of the main aspects of the development of corporatism, economic and political theory, the application of economic practice in order to use it in the development of the country's economy is studied. It is worth noting that to date there is little research on this issue, and isolated studies do not fully reflect the impact of corporatism on the history of Italy, Spain, Portugal and the world.

In 2021, it was 130 years since corporatism appeared. It is time to consider the main stages of its formation as one of the greatest economic doctrines of the XX century, its impact on modern economics. In the modern period of development of the world economy, rich in new factors of instability, the intellectual heritage of corporatism allows researchers to apply its characteristics to understand the crisis in the economy. The article argues that corporatism can be the engine of the modern economy, as it creates a balance between the working class and entrepreneurs. The article presents assessments of the study of corporatism by authors and scholars with different views. Implemented corporatist ideas led to the emergence of new institutions in accordance with the coordination of interests, which coordinated the actions of economic agents, facilitated the resolution of conflicts, regulated internal corporate relations, provided monopoly conditions for professional activity. The formed model of corporatism did not assume the autonomy of corporations. It led only to some temporary strengthening of the state in economic and socio-political life. The state retained control, control over corporations, turning them into bureaucratic structures. The experience of creating "corporate" states in a number of European countries was far from real corporate ideas. Authoritarian regimes were not ready to create truly corporate structures. The inefficiency of the created corporations was that the new government did not dare to carry out radical changes, such as the establishment of effective state control over them.
PREREQUISITES FOR THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION ECONOMY IN UKRAINE
Authors: Bakalinska Anna
Published: July 2023

The article examines the prerequisites for the emergence of an information economy, which on the basis of systematization allows to schematically reflect the transformation of the structure of social production. Social production is represented by five sectors of the economy: mining and agriculture; industry and construction; production and personal services; trade, finances, insurance and real estate operations; health care, education, research, recreation industry, public administration. As each of these sectors saturate, a new type of economy is formed – information economy.

The analysis of the views of economists on the interpretation of the term "information economy" has been carried out, as a result of which it is revealed that the information economy is a type of economy in which in all spheres of activity of economic entities the ability to effectively generate, process and use information based on knowledge prevails.

The main characteristics of the information resource, which include limitlessness and inexhaustibility in use; accessibility, are determined. Its cost does not depend on the volume of aggregate demand, and the process of forming the price of information differs from determining the price of any other product or service.

A study of the level of development of the information economy in Ukraine has been carried out on the basis of two indicator systems: 1) the main statistical indicators calculated by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine; 2) a set of development indicators that are reflected in international indexes and ratings every year.

The domestic system of indicators for the development of the information economy is represented by the number of enterprises that have access to the Internet; the number of companies with a website; the number of enterprises that use social networks; the number of enterprises that buy cloud computing services; the number of enterprises that conduct training in the field of ICT; the number of e-commerce enterprises; e-commerce sales volume.

The assessment of the level of development of the information economy in Ukraine is carried out according to the following global indicators: network readiness index, global communication index, global digital competitiveness rating, global cyber security index, national cyber security index, global innovation index, global knowledge index. As a result of the analysis, the potential for the development of the information economy in Ukraine is revealed.
STATE AND TRENDS OF URBANIZATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE FORMATION OF A SMART ECONOMY
Authors: Artоmov Dmytro
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the diagnosis of the state of urbanism and urbanization trends in the world, in its individual regions and in Ukraine. The etymology of the term "smart" and the peculiarities of modern scientific approaches to its interpretation have been established. The relationship and difference between the concepts of "urbanism" and "urbanization" are studied: urbanization is considered as a process of spatial evolution of society due to the growth of urban and reduction of rural population and the process of transition from rural to urban lifestyle; urbanism is defined as the achieved level of the development of cities and urban environment as a whole, which reflects the impact of the state of urban environment on people's lives and the relationship between people and urban territories. The terms "urbanism" and "urbanization" are used to denote the parameters characterizing, respectively, the state of the research object at a certain point in time and the change in its state over time. The level of urbanism and the trends of urbanization in the world, in individual countries and regions of the world, in Ukraine and its regions is diagnosed by the indicator of the share of urban population in the total population of the territories and by the results of the analysis of trends in its dynamics. It is concluded that the processes of the formation of a smart economy and a smart society are related to the processes of urbanization, since cities are important centers of concentration of resources, technologies, innovations and infrastructure; at the same time, urbanization should be considered in the context of sustainable development, which involves the preservation of natural resources and environmental protection, in order to ensure balanced socio-economic development of urban areas.

Cancer is a cellular change caused by uncontrolled cell growth and division. This disease develops from the growth of abnormal cells that have the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between blood parameters (e.g., Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Haemoglobin (HGB), White Blood Cell (WBC), and Red Blood Cell (RBC)) and different types of cancer. Breast cancer, thyroid gland cancer, ovarian cancer, testicular cancer, brain tumors as well as other types of cancer are based on the cell of the tissue found on or in the body. Any of these types of cancer are associated with a variety of health issues that put the patient's life in danger. Performing the complete blood count (CBC) test prior to or after a cancer diagnosis is necessary as abnormalities in the body can cause blood component rates to either increase or decrease, depending on the type of cancer, the patient's physiological mechanism, and the structural component. Since the CBC test belongs to hematology, drawing a blood sample and putting it into the anticoagulant tube for testing were preferred. In this study, the blood components of almost all patients were normal except for a few of them which may be due to other medical and biological factors. There is a significant relationship between blood parameters and cancer types.
