Analysis of the effect of Financial Distress on Tax avoidance during the COVID-19 Financial Crisis: Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Khan Muhammad Tasnim
Published: January 2023

For the purposes to finance their business operations, firms have incentives to engage in corporate tax avoidance activities when managerial incentives increase as compared to managerial costs. These activities are significantly high when firms are inthe financial distress zone. The Covid-19 financial crisis (CFC) provides significant findings on whether corporate tax avoidance hasa significant difference from the pre-Covid-19 tothe post-Covid-19 financial crisis, whether a firm’s management is obligated to engage aggressively with corporate tax avoidance. This research aims to investigate the impact of financial distress on corporate tax avoidance during the Covid-19 financial crisis.  Based on a sample of 175 firms listed on PSX covering the period of 2010-2021. The study applies GMM dynamic approach with (static) fixed and random effect models to check the robustness of results. The finding of the GMM approach demonstrates that financial distress has a statistically significant and positive impact on corporate tax avoidance. Consistent with the cost-benefits analysis and risk-shifting behavior theories, firms engage more in tax avoidance, especially during financial distress. Moreover, CFC magnified the relationship between these variables, and firms investigated in the study face development suffer mostly in this globally and economically distressing period.

Published: January 2023

Because of it can be used as a table, for oil or wood and practical medicine, olive became highly valued in Mediterranean basin. Olive oil is considered more important due to its nutritional and health advantages. The olive tree can adapt to adverse soil conditions because it is not very selective in terms of soil requirements. Turkey has a very rich diversity because it is located in the homeland of olives and has been cultivated for many years. There are olive populations that show variation in tree form, leaf and fruit characteristics in different regions of Turkey. Identifying and revealing the characteristics of plants in these populations is important for their evaluation. In this study, some morphological features were determined in olive populations in Kahramanmaraş region, which has a significant diversity. Within the olive populations, seed and leaf characteristics were revealed in 44 genotypes that were visually different and over 50 years of age. Statistical differences were found between genotypes in terms of all parameters studied. The kernel weights of the genotypes varied between 0.76-0.38 g. Kernel length and width values were determined as 16.03-12.21 mm and 10.07-8.01 mm, respectively. The highest leaf length of the genotypes was 7.42 cm and the lowest 5.70 cm. Leaf widths were determined as 15.82-8.49 mm. The results revealed that there is a significant olive diversity in Kahramanmaraş region. It is important to conservation this richness and use it in breeding and genetic studies.

Branded antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are expensive, and in developing countries, cheaper generic equivalents may be used interchangeably. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the antiseizure activities of some available branded and generic AEDs in mice. The physicochemical properties of four generic and branded AEDs (carbamazepine, CAB; sodium valproate, SVP; phenytoin, PHY, and phenobarbitone, PHB) were determined according to pharmacopoeial methods. The organoleptic proper-ties, tablet hardness and thickness of the samples were also assessed. The anticonvulsant effect of AEDs was determined using maximal electroshock (MES) and pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced seizure. The samples of AEDs showed uniformly comparable organoleptic properties. The active moiety content for all the samples fell within the acceptable ranges stipulated in the official compendia. A significant statistical difference (p≤0.05) in disintegration time existed between two generic formulations of PHB, PHB01 (4.62±1.17 min), and PHB02 (1.40±0.26 min). Similarly, a significant statistical difference (p≤0.05) in hardness (10.40±0.15 kgF vs 5.61±0.03 kgF) and disintegration time (4.65±0.49 min vs 0.64±0.30 min) was observed between the two brands of CAB (CAB02 and CAB03 respectively). No significant statistical difference exists in mean recovery time between control (5.70±0.72 min) and treatment groups (CAB01, 6.50±0.65 min) in the MEST. In the PTZ test, there was a significant (p≤0.001) difference in the mean onset of clonic spasm between control (10.03±0.75 min) and PHB, PHB01 (17.50±0.99 min) 30 min post-treatment. In conclusion, no significant variation in the physicochemical and antiseizure activity of branded and generic formulations of AEDs was observed

Authors: AFOLABI Esther , OLUREMİ Oluwabiyi , ORAYAGA Collins
Published: January 2023

A twenty-eight-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate maize replacement value of rumen filtrate biodegraded sweet orange peel (SOP) in the starter broiler chick’s diet. Sweet orange fruit peels were collected from retailers of peeled sweet orange fruits. Fresh rumen content was collected from a government abattoir, mixed with water at the ratio of 1 kg: 1 liter, and the mixture sieved to obtain rumen filtrate (RF). Rumen filtrate was mixed with sweet orange peels at the ratio of 1 liter: 2.5 kg, poured into polythene bags, tied at the open end, and allowed a 48-hour for biodegradation. The fermented sweet orange peels were sun-dried to about 10% moisture, milled and incorporated into each of five broiler starter diets as a replacement for maize at levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% to give diets T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5, respectively. Biodegraded SOP contained 8.80% crude protein, 13.25% crude fibre, 8.65% ether extract, 9.90% ash, and 59.40% NFE, and metabolizable energy of 3720.67 Kcal/kg. The experimental diets had significant effect (P0.05) among other performance indices measured across the dietary treatments. Dietary incorporation of SOP meal as a replacement for maize did not support the growth of starter broiler chicks, and further studies are necessary to investigate other processing methods that can further reduce its fibre content, to enhance its feed value as a replacement for maize in the diets of broiler chicks.
Influence of Proactive Personality on Turnover Intention among Hotel Employees: Perceived Organizational Support as A Moderating
Authors: Aryaningtyas Aurilia Triani
Published: January 2023

This study conceptualizes the perceived organizational support (POS) as a moderator to understand the mechanism of the relationship between proactive personality and turnover intention. This study proposes a different model of proactive personality as a variable that affects the turnover intention of hotel employees, which in turn is related to POS as a moderating variable. This influence model has never been studied on hotel employees, especially in Semarang. Some researchers tend to explore the influence of factors such as job satisfaction, job stress, citizenship behavior, and commitment. The effect moderation model in this study was examined using multilevel regression analysis, with an interaction test which is often called Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). By quota sampling technique, survey data collected from 200 hotel employees spread across Semarang city. The results showed that the influence of proactive personality and turnover intention was weaker when perceived organizational support was included in the interaction. These findings are consistent with existing theories and studies. The implications for management practice suggest hotel managers to consider perceived organizational support as a fairly important factor in encouraging proactive employees to minimize intention to leave their current job.

Communicative competence is the goal of language learning, for which students have to learn language in a real context; and it also becomes the focus of Curriculum 13 in Indonesia. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are conflicts in realizing communicative competence for the students online. This study aims to identify conflicts faced by the teachers in integrating communicative language teaching method and online platforms used during the pandemic, as the lessons in long distance learnings. This study is qualitative with in-depth interview as the main data collection technique. The respondents of this study cover 137 senior high school teachers. The data is analyzed by identifying the relevant interplays between graduate competences, language learning methods, online platforms used, and conflicts on the teachers and students learning autonomously along pandemic. The findings show that there are conflicts among the teachers and students in implementing online communicative language teaching autonomously, since the method and the used online learning platforms are irrelevant and internet literacy and infrastructure are still poor. There must be comprehensive understanding and skills of the teachers and students in handling autonomous learning digitally along the pandemic including learning outcome, materials, learning methods and process, and testing the outcome. These conflicts bring about lessons of adaptability, collaboration, communication, and resilience, they have learned valuable skills that will serve them well in their future education and careers.

Authors: Al-Yahmadi Hamad , Al-Sharman Sameerah
Published: January 2023

The study aimed to identify the degree to which science teachers developed school students’ creative thinking skills in Jordan and Sultanate of Oman. It also aimed to find out if the teachers’ role in developing school students’ creative thinking skills differed as per their work place (Jordan and Oman) and whether or not there were statistically significant differences at the significance level (0.05=α) in the teachers’ role in developing school students’ creative thinking skills from the perspective of teachers attributed to the variable of teaching experience. To achieve the study objectives, the descriptive survey approach was used through developing a questionnaire with 31 statements which was distributed to a sample of 140 teachers teaching science to grades 4 to 8 in public schools in Jordan and Sultanate of Oman in the academic year 2021 – 2022. 5- point Likert scale was used to analyze the data collected. The findings showed that primary education science teachers practiced creative thinking skills with their students to a high degree as the mean of their responses to the questionnaire statements was 3.43 with a standard deviation 1.12. There were no statistically significant differences in the science teachers’ response means in Jordan and Oman. However, there were statistically significant differences at the significance level (0.05=α) in the teachers’ response means in favor of the female teachers whose response mean was 4.25 which was higher than the male teachers’ response mean which was 3.35. This result might be attributed to a number of factors such as women in Arab societies try to prove themselves and try to prove that they are more distinguished than men. In light of the findings, the study recommended adopting teaching strategies that develop students’ creative thinking skills, supporting teachers who develop these skills and generalizing these findings to other educational stages.

Published: January 2023

This study ascertained specific discourse markers used under the categories of contrastive, elaborative and inferential in the selected electronic essays of freshmen Bachelor of Arts in BA English Language students of a government run university in Tacloban City, Leyte, Philippines. It pinpointed the discourse markers that are used incorrectly by the freshmen students in their writings. Using a qualitative research design, the data were sourced from the sixty-two students’ electronic essays, enrolled in the History of the English Language course during the first semester of academic year 2021-2022. The essays were described, analyzed and interpreted using the framework on discourse markers developed by Fraser in 2009. Results showed that the students used restricted set of contrastive (“but” and “however”), elaborative (“and” and “furthermore”), and inferential (“because (of/this)” and “so (that)”) discourse markers (DMs). Furthermore, multiple incorrectly used DMs were also found as caused by misused, unnecessary, non-functional, and ungrammatical DMs. As use of discourse markers seemed restricted among the language students, the researchers found a gap of familiarization with other discourse markers and their functions among them, hence, limiting them to use common discourse markers (e.g. but, and, so that etc.). Moreover, students are also still incognizant with the basic functions and categorization of discourse markers which somehow affect the quality of their electronic essay outputs.

Indonesia has a high level of community productivity. Where, in some corners of the rural areas still have little knowledge about the introduction of industrial digital products which in fact currently has become a necessity to always work. As people who work in rural areas, there is a gap that is less than the maximum, making sensitivity to economic progress stagnant. It is known when conducting a survey of several rural residents, that they are eager to move more actively in the diversity of business results that are produced directly by micro businesses and of course there is help from social entrepreneurs who are competent in their fields. The methodology used conceptual method, in which several social entrepreneurs can provide assistance to some business people in a sensitive movement in the field of technology. This is influenced by several supporting factors such as, knowledge, experience, and expertise possessed by local residents through the economy. As the digital economy continues, it was expected to be able to sustain the local community, and to be more active and crea-tive in developing micro businesses through the digital economic tourism industry. Where, output of the experiment is able to invite all young people, both social entrepreneurs and local communities to introduce rural areas, such as studying the environment by social media to support their product. Some of these concepts and applications, it can invite local residents, the general public, local government as well as the central government, and stakeholders to be able to work together maxi-mally, well structured, and balanced through adequate human resource needs with a youthful social community. It is hoped that this experiment can be immediately applied in increasing economic income in Indonesia.
The Export-Led Growth Hypothesis: Some Evidence from the 8-ASEAN
Authors: Lee Cheng-Wen , Hasyim Budi , Lin Jan-Yan
Published: January 2023

Abstract

This paper examines the validity of the growth hypothesis underlying exports within the context of the developing country sector, given the life of a general marketplace among countries. It used annual data from developing countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) from 2009 to 2018 and analyzed the impact of capital, employment, land and exports on the import sector on agricultural growth. The method used is Estimated generalized least square (EGLS) panel data analysis. The results of the study show that, in an Export Led Growth (ELG) scenario, data exists for analysis in eight ASEAN countries, specifically Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam. Production input factors (capital, labor and land) have a significant and positive impact on agricultural economic growth, while trade factors (exports and imports) have a negative impact on economic growth. In order to expand the contribution of the agricultural sector, capital, labor and agricultural land must be large enough to have a positive impact on agricultural growth.

Authors: Da Silva Junior Luciano Pedro , Rovai Rafaela Bezerra , De Rezende Joyce Josilene , Das Mercês Bruna Gonçalves , Da Silva Caroline Bianca Ferreira Teixeira , Masquio Deborah Cristina Landi
Published: January 2023

Objetivo: Explorar as alterações encontradas na microbiota intestinal na presença de parâmetros da síndrome metabólica e os efeitos da suplementação de probióticos como medida terapêutica. Metodologia: Consiste em um estudo de revisão, realizado pela busca de artigos científicos nas bases de dados Medline e Scielo utilizando os descritores Microbioma Gastrointestinal, Síndrome Metabólica e Probióticos, publicados nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. Resultados: Constatou-se que a síndrome metabólica cursa com a disbiose do microbioma intestinal com aumento da proporção de alguns filos e gêneros bacterianos em detrimento de outros. Como resultado, há maior estímulo para o ganho de peso corporal, resistência à insulina, diabetes mellitus do tipo 2, dislipidemia e hipertensão arterial. A suplementação de probióticos esteve relacionada à efeitos positivos quanto à redução do peso corporal, glicemia de jejum, níveis pressóricos e alterações benéficas das subfrações do perfil lipídico. Entretanto, existem divergências nos achados quanto ao real papel da microbiota sobre o desenvolvimento da síndrome metabólica e os efeitos dos probióticos, enquanto agente de tratamento. Conclusão: A microbiota intestinal encontra-se alterada durante a síndrome metabólica, porém, mais estudos são necessários para comprovar a associação causal entre a disbiose e a gênese de parâmetros da síndrome metabólica, assim como mais experimentos randomizados são precisos para evidenciar os probióticos como medida terapêutica para a síndrome metabólica.

Introdução: A síndrome de realimentação é uma complicação grave, caracterizada por alterações metabólicas e eletrolíticas na reintrodução e/ou aumento calórico após um período de ingestão alimentar reduzida/ausente, com maior incidência em pacientes desnutridos ou geriátricos, como pacientes críticos com coronavírus. Este estudo visa identificar a prevalência do risco desta síndrome em pacientes críticos com coronavírus internados em um hospital brasileiro. Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospectivo, transversal, pacientes com coronavírus, por teste positivo de ácido nucleico, de unidades críticas entre março a junho de 2020. Foram analisados dados demográficos, clínicos, nutricionais, exames bioquímicos e clínicos indicativos de síndrome de realimentação. Resultados: 328 pacientes, com média de idade de 65,3 anos (DP=16,7), 70,4% (n=231) do gênero masculino, com comorbidades como 45,4% (n=149) hipertensão, 29,9% (n=98) dislipidemia, 27,7% (n=91) diabetes. Na anamnese nutricional 50% (n=164) apresentaram baixa aceitação alimentar prévia e 12,2% (n=40) perda de peso nos últimos 3 meses. Receberam dieta por via oral 65,2% (n=214), 34,1% (n=112) enteral, 0,6% (n=2) parenteral. Média de início de dieta de 1,5 dias (DP 1,2). Identificou-se uma prevalência de 58,2% do risco de síndrome de realimentação nestes pacientes. Quando relacionado a síndrome de realimentação e sinais clínicos, não houve associação, identificado uma tendência aos valores de fósforo (p=0,086) e sódio (p=0,054). Conclusão: Os resultados demostraram alta prevalência do risco de síndrome de realimentação na população estudada, reforçando a importância desta identificação precoce e terapia nutricional adequada.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi de analisar a abordagem das interações fármaco-nutriente e da sarcopenia nos idosos, por uma equipe de Atenção Primária à Saúde, bem como, descrever a sua importância. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório de caráter qualitativo, que foi avaliado através de um questionário semiestruturado e de referenciais teóricos relacionados ao tema. Em relação a sarcopenia, os entrevistados não souberam a sua definição, e não havia um protocolo estruturado e de ampla aplicabilidade para avaliação da massa muscular em idosos. Em relação as interações fármaco-nutriente, por mais que os entrevistados julgassem como verdadeira as interações, não souberam identificar quais medicamentos e quais nutrientes estariam correlacionados. Em relação aos hábitos alimentares, a população possuía muitas dificuldades socioeconômicas, ocasionando em um alto consumo de gêneros alimentícios ricos em carboidratos e lipídios, e um baixo consumo de proteínas, de frutas, legumes e verduras. No que tange a saúde do idosos, devemos considerar a biodisponibilidade dos nutrientes, os medicamentos e as possíveis interações, para que não haja um comprometimento do estado nutricional. Pois, o bom aporte nutricional permite a prevenção e impede a progressão da sarcopenia. Desse modo, devemos enfatizar a importância da atuação da equipe que compõe a Atenção Primária à Saúde no diagnóstico precoce, bem como em ações de prevenção e manejo das condições associadas ao envelhecimento, como a sarcopenia.

Objetivo: Analisar a rotulagem de alimentos vendidos, conforme normas e legislações vigentes relacionadas a produção e venda, visando à promoção da Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional da população que os consome. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal com integrantes que processam alimentos artesanalmente e os comercializam em uma feira de Economia Solidária e Agricultura Familiar localizada na Zona da Mata de Minas Gerais. Realizou-se caracterização socioeconômica, demográfica e de moradia dos responsáveis pelos empreendimentos, análise dos rótulos comercializados e entrevista semiestruturada com os agricultores a fim de avaliar a percepção destes quanto à importância da rotulagem nutricional. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 11 empreendimentos. Constatou-se que 63,3% (n=7) dos empreendedores eram do sexo feminino, 45,4% (n=5) com faixa etária entre 30 e 43 anos, 54,5% (n=6) possuíam em sua residência de 3 a 5 moradores e 27,3% (n=3) viviam em situação de pobreza. Em relação aos produtos comercializados pelos empreendimentos, do total de 72 analisados, 12,5% (n=9) possuíam rótulos com informações completas, 47,2% (n=34) incompletas e 40,3% (n=29) não apresentavam rotulagem. Com base nas respostas da entrevista realizada, foi feito a análise de similitude com o objetivo de avaliar qualitativamente as respostas da amostra. Conclusão: A inclusão de rótulos completos nos produtos processados é um avanço para o produtor, que tem possibilidade de aumentar suas vendas para mercados institucionais trazendo maior rentabilidade à família e favorável também ao consumidor que consegue ter acesso fácil e claro às informações completas do que estará consumindo.

Objetivo: Os ácidos graxos essenciais (AGE) ômega-3 dos tipos ácido eicosapentaenoico (EPA) e ácido docosa-hexaenoico (DHA), são benéficos para o sistema nervoso central (SNC) - com estudos demonstrando seu papel na mielinização, formação de sinapses, além da relação de sua deficiência com o desenvolvimento de patologias neurológicas e psiquiátricas. Portanto, o presente trabalho objetiva avaliar sistematicamente os efeitos da ingestão de EPA/DHA no SNC de humanos em diferentes faixas etárias e estados de saúde neurológica e psiquiátrica.  Metodologia: Foi adotado o método PRISMA, a busca por estudos foi realizada na base de dados científicos Medline, sendo incluídos artigos publicados entre 2010-2021, publicados em língua inglesa, ensaios clínicos aleatórios (randomizados), e estudos observacionais. Resultados: 11 artigos foram selecionados e, em seguida, categorizados por temas. No desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor infantil, observou-se, com a suplementação, benefícios na aquisição da linguagem e obtenção de escores levemente melhores em testes neurológicos. Em adultos saudáveis, houve indícios de aumento na eficácia do processamento neural. No TDAH em crianças, melhores resultados em testes de atenção. Em indivíduos com esquizofrenia, houve menor perda da espessura cortical. Em idosos com déficit de memória ou doença de Alzheimer, maior oxigenação cerebral, menos inflamação e desaceleração da perda de massa cerebral. Conclusão: Constata-se, pela análise dos estudos, que os AGs EPA/DHA beneficiam o SNC por meio de efeitos no neurodesenvolvimento, função cognitiva, prevenção de doenças e como estratégia terapêutica adjuvante.

Authors: Ho Kah Ann , Fuentes-Bolanos Noemi A , Gifford Andrew J , Jiwane Ashish , Wanaguru Dylan
Published: January 2023

Background: Fetal Lung Interstitial Tumor (FLIT) is a rare benign lung tumor. There have been 18 cases of FLIT described in the literature. FLIT is characterized by a region of arrested lung development and must be differentiated from other congenital lung lesions with poorer prognoses.
Case Presentation: We report the first two known cases of FLIT in Australia and New Zealand. In both cases, the patients developed respiratory distress at birth requiring intubation. Imaging revealed solid lesions and echocardiography demonstrated pulmonary hypertension. The patients underwent surgical resection without any complications or recurrence.
Conclusion: FLIT is a rare benign congenital lung tumor that can be adequately managed with surgical resection.

Published: January 2023

Background: Because of the high rates of Broviac catheter complications, we started an urgent quality process to reduce this morbidity. The aim is to assess the efficiency of the main actions we have taken in enhancing our practice and improving Broviac outcomes.
Methods: We included all neonates and young infants requiring surgical central venous access using a Broviac tunneled catheter. We compared the catheters’ outcomes before and after the implementation of a quality program based on a nurse teaching program, patient selection, and catheter management multidisciplinary protocol. The significance threshold was set at p<0.05.
Results: We included 94 patients: 51 in the protocol group and 43 in the control group. The complication rate was reduced from 60.3% to 25.5% with p=0.001. The lifetime of the catheter was improved from 11.3 ± 4.3 days to 19.1 ± 9 days with p=0.007. The catheter infection was reduced from 65.3% to 46.1% with p≤0.001.
Conclusion: This quality improvement project shows the utility of a quality assurance program based on careful indications and patient selection, a nursing teaching program, and a multidisciplinary catheter management protocol, in reducing Broviac catheter-related morbidity.
