The Determinants of Financial Performance of South African State-Owned Entities
Authors: MARIMUTHU Ferina , MVUNABANDI Jean Damascene , MAAMA Haruna
Published: August 2023

Several state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have severally faced imminent collapse, resulting in various support from the government. This has increased the debt level of the government and the SOEs. The study examined the factors that influence the financial performance of South African SOEs. This study used a quantitative methodology and secondary data of 33 South African SOEs from 1995 to 2017. The data were analysed using a multiple regression model and the GMM estimation technique. The study's conclusions show a statistically significant inverse relationship between capital structure and financial performance. The evidence further showed that government intervention in financial assistance, such as grants, funds, rebates, and subsidies, has contributed to the poor performance of SOEs. The inverse association suggests that the SOEs performance continues to worsen despite government support, which is quite concerning. The results demonstrate that government support is not a sound choice for developing SOEs since it makes management more dependent on it to meet operational needs and seize expansion possibilities. Additionally, the increased use of debt stresses government finances due to the rise in government guarantees. The study concludes that, contrary to the agency theory, leverage does not enhance SOEs' performance, suggesting they should be careful when selecting their capital structure. Finally, the South African SOEs’ performance is being hampered by government support. The findings have several policy implications for the government and the management of SOEs.

Authors: SETIAWATI Amalia , RONDA Mirza , SERAN Alexander
Published: August 2023

This research is focused on interactions on social media TikTok, where researchers raise issues regarding individual freedom and the presence of other people in conveying messages on social media TikTok. Based on some circumstances, the researcher sees a transition in the meaning of individual freedom and the presence of other people in the context of interaction on social media TikTok. The rationale for this study is that researchers use the perspective of freedom and the presence of other people, according to Jean-Paul Sartre, which is then studied through the theory of symbolic interactionism (George Herbert Mead) and self-presentation theory (Erving Goffmann). The paradigm used in this study is the postmodern paradigm, in which researchers attempt to deconstruct the meaning of individual freedom and the presence of other people in conveying messages on social media TikTok. The key informants in the study were two content creators of the TikTok social media who were selected purposively. The results of the study show that the skills of TikTok social media creators are needed in negotiating individual freedom agreed upon by netizens and managing the presence of other people (netizens) to interact on TikTok social media in order to achieve goals, one of which is building social capital, monetization, and social transformation.

Abstract
This study aims to examine and analyze the application of the principle of consensuality in electronic contracts at Shopee: and how the legal implications of the application of the principle of consensuality in electronic contracts at Shopee. The research method used is normative juridical with a statutory and conceptual approach, using secondary legal data and analyzed with a qualitative descriptive method. The results showed that in electronic contracts at Shopee, the principle of consensualism has been applied. In this case, the electronic contract is carried out by means of a click-wrap agreement, namely to determine the agreement in the e-contract is when the party receiving the offer "clicks" on the agreement section. E-contract in Shopee can be said to be an agreement between computer users (users) in interacting with producers or electronic service providers. The application of the principle of consensuality in electronic contracts at Shopee, raises several legal implications, namely: 1) the existence of consensualism gives birth to an electronic contract; 2) the enactment of the principle of Pacta Sun Servanda, meaning that the agreed electronic contract is fully binding and therefore must be obeyed; 3) and for the transfer of rights, consensualism must be followed by a material contract (zakelijke overeenkomst), with the concrete form of this material contract being the act of delivery (levering) of the object in question from the seller's hands to the buyer's hands.

Marcus and Davis’s Rebooting AI: Building Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust (2019) describes the narrowness of current artificial intelligence, posits constituents of human intelligence it contends artificial intelligence (AI) must reproduce to achieve a general (broad) formulation, and envisages the contributions of general AI to human living. This article (1) reviews Marcus and Davis’s argument, (2) phenomenologically evaluates their interpretation of human intelligence, and (3) discloses the moral inconsistencies implied by their vision of the relation between general AI and human being. Transcendental and hermeneutic phenomenological perspectives are employed to address the range of phenomena the authors affiliate with human intelligence.
Disturbance observer-based adaptive sliding mode synchronization control for uncertain chaotic systems
Authors: Yin Honglei , Meng Bo , Wang Zhen
Published: August 2023

The synchronization control problem of a class of chaotic systems with unknown uncertainties and outside perturbation is addressed in this article by employing an innovative adaptive sliding mode controller (SM, SMC) constructed using a disturbance observer (DO). For the synchronous error system, the external disturbances estimated by the disturbance observer cannot be measured directly. If the appropriate gain matrix is chosen, the DO can approximate the unknown external disturbances well. Then a continuous adaptive SM controller based on the DO's output is designed by using adaptive techniques and the system dimensional expansion method. The Duffing-Holmes chaotic system is finally selected to numerically test the efficiency of the suggested strategy.
PROFESSIONAL PERCEPTIONS OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PARENTING STYLES AND COPING RESPONSES OF FATHERS AND MOTHERS REGISTERED WITH THE CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEM
Authors: Sanchez_Prieto Lidia , Orte Socias Carmen , Amer Fernández Joan
Published: July 2023

Families registered with the Child Protection System tend to have poor parenting methods, which, in turn, lead to inadequate ways of coping with stress. This makes them highly vulnerable families. These shortcomings tend to be more prevalent among fathers than mothers. By identifying these shortcomings and analysing them, specific strategies can be developed to overcome them. The aim of this paper is to analyse differences between the parenting styles and coping responses of mothers and fathers registered with the Child Protection System, as perceived by the professionals from the said service. A cross-sectional study was carried out based on the perceptions of professionals attached to the Child Protection System. The findings show that the professionals deem that there are significant differences between maternal and paternal parenting models and ways of coping with stress. The mothers were viewed as having more components of appropriate parenting, while the fathers tended to use physical punishment more often. As for coping methods, the professionals observed that the mothers have more previous experience of conflicts, they spend more time preparing to tackle a problem, and they have a greater sense of being able to take possible advantage of the situation. The results point to the need to reinforce and specialize in training strategies for parents. This is because co-parenting has a positive impact on child development and boosts family functioning.

Social work students are an important segment of the future of the social work profession, therefore investing in their education brings multiple benefits to social work practice. The aim of this paper wasto gain insight into the level of environmental awareness of social work students as well as into their attitudes on green social work. A quantitative research was conducted with 349 participants, among whom there were the students of the bachelor’s and master’s degree program in social work and the students of the master’s degree in social policy and social work. The paper presents the key concepts which are the focus of this research: green social work, environmental awareness and the role of students. The results indicate that students are generally not familiarized with green social work during their studies and that more than half of the students have not heard of the term green social work at all. Environmentally friendly behavior is often present among social work students, but there is room for adopting a more favorable attitude towards water consumption and electronic devices, as well as paper products usage, recycling and the use of long-lasting products. The role of higher education in educating and awareness-raising among students about this issue is becoming a topic of interest for the development of curricula.

The paper presents the results of content analysis conducted on 489 articles published in three Croatian daily newspapers in the period of two years (1 January 2018 to 31 December 2019) on the topic of child abuse. The goals of the research were to investigate: the way child abuse was portrayed in Croatian newspapers, whether the journalists reported in a sensationalistic manner, how frequently they disclosed the victim’s identity or used other endangering practices. We also wanted to identify the predictors of using endangering practices. The results have shown that child abuse victims in newspaper articles were equally male and female, and that focus was mostly on the victims of physical and sexual abuse, while emotional abuse and neglect were almost invisible. The victim’sidentity was disclosed in 64.6% of the articles (although mostly indirectly). As many as 78.5% of articles highlighted at least one background information on the victim, 24.7% of the articles contained victim-blaming information, while 74.2% of the articles provided details of the abusive event, a practice that could lead to re-traumatization of the victims. A child’s identity is most likely disclosed in the articles announced on the front page of the newspapers, in cases of domestic abuse, and in cases where the perpetrators were a child’s acquaintances.

In the age of digital disruption, universities and educational institutions all over the world provide many bachelor’s, postgraduate, and non-degree curriculums. Information is mostly presented in different forms, i.e., PR on websites, mobile applications, or social media; including field PR at different sites, e.g., department stores and schools. However, the limitations and the problems are that presented information fails to attract or motivate perception, interest, and participation of the target groups. Also, traditional PR requires resources in terms of persons, time, and a large amount of expenditures. Thus, this research aimed to present the development of a game to present information for PR of bachelor’s curriculums using Unity3D, which could reduce the limitation of presentation or PR in the traditional forms. It could also save PR budget and could be done anywhere and anytime.
Antagonismos entre sexualidade e religião no futebol: breve reflexão sobre a colonialidade na Copa do Catar
Authors: Silva Keo , Camargo Wagner Xavier de
Published: August 2023

A Copa do Mundo da FIFA de Futebol de homens realizada no Catar trouxe à baila temáticas relativas a gênero e sexualidade no embate com religião. A reflexão deste artigo se desdobra em três movimentos: conflitos entre religião e sexualidade, que envolvem dinâmicas globais e locais de gênero; movimentos de apropriação e mercantilização de identidades e expressões de gênero, no que tange à sexualidade; e mobilização de símbolos a partir das dinâmicas capitalistas, que operam discursos midiáticos em relação à sexualidade e à religião. Portanto, destacamos tais dimensões como forma de perceber as hierarquias e as dinâmicas sociais mobilizadas pelo futebol como fenômeno esportivo intercontinental e por megaeventos como a Copa do Mundo, a fim de analisar as dimensões de gênero e sexualidade no mediascape global.
Louça, lençol e toalha: a intimidade limitada como repertório de demarcação na relação entre diaristas e suas clientes
Authors: Vargas Júlia
Published: August 2023

A partir de uma etnografia realizada entre 2019 e 2021 junto a um coletivo de faxineiras em Belo Horizonte-MG, este artigo se propõe a refletir sobre as estratégias de atuação dessas trabalhadoras face às históricas e estruturais desigualdades existentes no trabalho doméstico remunerado no Brasil. A pesquisa foi marcada pelo período da pandemia de Covid-19, que trouxe uma série de dificuldades para realização da etnografia, e sobretudo para as diaristas com quem pude dialogar. Ao longo do trabalho de campo multissituado, foi possível observar como a relação entre reconhecimento profissional e distanciamento da intimidade é um aspecto central na proposta política dessas trabalhadoras. A luta por um trabalho doméstico remunerado livre de exploração, antirracista e que valorize o trabalho de diarista se concretiza nas próprias práticas de negociação e no cotidiano do trabalho, a partir da demarcação de certos limites e do estabelecimento de relações pedagógicas entre clientes e trabalhadoras.

Published: July 2023

With the continuous innovation and development of materials science and tissue engineering technology, biomaterials are gradually being used to replace autologous bone and allogeneic bone grafts in clinical practice for the treatment and repair of bone defects. In this paper, L-arginine-modified chitosan/hydroxyapatite composites were prepared by solution blending of L-arginine-modified chitosan and hydroxyapatite. A hormone drug prednisone acetate was loaded into the composites by supercritical impregnation technique. The results of in vitro release showed that under the loading condition of 12 MPa and 318 K, the cumulative release amount of the drug was 74.6% in 72 h, which had an excellent sustained release effect. In addition, a numerical model of the nasal bone was developed and numerical calculations were performed to analyze and compare the stresses of the healthy nasal bone and the nasal bone repaired with CA/HA composite when subjected to a force of 100 N, in different directions. The total deformation difference at the material was 0.002-0.004 mm/mm, and the stress difference was 0.004–1.373 MPa for the nasal bone in both states, with the sagittal plane under 0–90 degrees of force. The above results indicate that the CA/HA composite has good biological and mechanical properties and can be used to repair nasal bone defects. This material and numerical calculation method can also be applied to other related bone tissue engineering and biomedical materials, which have broad application prospects.

Authors: Majdoubi Rania , Masmoudi Lhoussaine
Published: August 2023

The agricultural sector is currently dealing with a difficult paradox: maintaining, or even increasing, its production levels while reducing the impact of its activities on the environment. In addition to this, there are economic constraints on farmers as well as the harshness of a demanding job that exposes farmers to several types of risk: work-related accidents, occupational diseases, and exposure to potentially dangerous products, such as pesticides. In this context, agricultural robots have been invented. This chapter presents a comprehensive and recent state of the art of the application of robots in agriculture. The work approaches this subject from three angles: on the one hand, the specification in terms of mobility type; on the other hand, the specification in terms of manipulator type and finally in terms of crop type. Furthermore, this chapter presents in more detail some practical experiences concerning the application of agricultural robotics in several fields of activity.

Published: July 2023

Numerosos programas de formación inicial docente han incorporado diversas y variadas actividades de reflexión como un aspecto central de los procesos formativos. Sin embargo, existe poca información sobre cómo se estructuran y organizan este tipo de actividades, pero, sobre todo, cómo los formadores de profesores deben guiar estas prácticas reflexivas. Esta investigación tiene como propósito contribuir a la comprensión de los procesos reflexivos en los que participaron 44 futuros profesores. Adoptamos una perspectiva cualitativa centrada en relatos producidos por medio de entrevistas grupales, cuyo objetivo fue recoger las principales experiencias subjetivas vinculadas a este tipo de actividades. Los resultados sugieren que aunque se utiliza el concepto de reflexión en los programas formativos, no está claro cómo los docentes formadores hacen uso de estas experiencias para guiar estos procesos. Nuestro trabajo considera el uso de las experiencias subjetivas como unidades especialmente útiles para contribuir a los procesos de reflexión de los profesores en formación.

Until now, the correspondence between the Alexander–Kolmogorov complex, and the de Rham one, by means of a small scale parameter, has not gone that far as passing to the limit of the resolvent of the associated Laplacian, when the small parameter tends towards zero. Along these lines, a result proving a complete Hodge decomposition was missing. We bridge this gap by means of our own rescaled

Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVES: This study examined trends in the dietary intake and food sources of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in Korean adults from 2007 to 2018.METHODS: In total, 46,307 adults (aged 19-64 years) were selected from the 2007-2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Dietary data were obtained using 24-hour dietary recall. Intake levels and food sources of LC-PUFAs, including alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and linoleic acid (LA), were evaluated across the survey years and assessed based on compliance with dietary recommendations over the 2007-2018 period. Linear trends in LC-PUFAs intake levels over time were examined through multiple linear regression analysis.RESULTS: From 2007 to 2018, ALA and LA consumption increased from 1.1 g (0.5% of energy) to 1.4 g (0.6% of energy) and from 8.6 g (3.9% of energy) to 10.0 g (4.5% of energy), respectively. EPA intake decreased from 0.14 g to 0.12 g, and EPA+DHA intake showed a decreasing trend. The proportion of individuals who did not meet the recommended intake of EPA+DHA (250 mg/day) increased (64.4 to 68.4%). Regarding changes in food sources of ALA and LA, the contributions from mayonnaise, eggs, and bread increased, while those from plant food sources decreased. Among food sources of EPA and DHA, anchovy, saury, and Atka mackerel showed lower contributions over time.CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that strategies to encourage the consumption of EPA and DHA from healthy food sources are necessary to improve cardiovascular health in the Korean population.

Publishing texts in multiple languages always involves issues of coordination of both content and structure. The Swiss Chancellery must deal with documents in four official languages, and they face special problems in the production of compilations that merge amendments into existing legislation. Although the source documents are prepared in MS Word, they are issued in derivative products such as PDF, HTML, and Akoma Ntoso. To aid coordination between versions, the authors are developing a reporting system that does rule-driven sanity checks on parallel documents, starting with the XML of Akoma Ntoso. Each rule is represented by XSLT processes, and the selection of rules to be applied is controlled by XProc, with the results displayed as messages interpolated into an HTML rendition of the source document.

As part of the OCUL mission to provide accurate and up-to-date access to scholarly research, Scholars Portal has recently taken on a project to improve how article corrections and retractions are handled in our workflow. This paper introduces the new process of utilizing the JATS metadata element  to link between articles and their corrections and retractions so that users are immediately aware that there have been changes to the article they are viewing. This paper will also discuss challenges in this process including the inability to handle articles that have not been registered with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and difficulties with inconsistent use of attribute values.
Privately Automating Common, Uncommon, and Surprising Markup Tasks using AI Large Language Models
Authors: Ogbuji Uche
Published: July 2023

Generative AI is everywhere, from DALL-E for image generation to ChatGPT for language tasks. The power of these models boggles the mind even for people who’ve been involved in AI for ages. Can they help us? It’s been widely reported that they can be used to write rather sophisticated code in languages like Python and Javascript — but how well do they work with markup? Can they work with XML properly, or can they only treat it as tag soup? Even without any specialized XML training, large language models (LLMs) prove to have some very interesting, and in some cases impressive, capabilities.

By using self-hosted LLMs rather than third-party services such as ChatGPT or Bard, we can exploit those capabilities even for private applications. There are certainly some clear limitations, but LLMs can also handle a surprising number of common markup tasks out of the box.
Keyboarding Frege's concept writing
Authors: Sperberg-McQueen C. M.
Published: July 2023

Gottlob Frege’s 1879 book Begriffsschrift (Concept Writing) poses a number of problems for the would-be digitizer, most notably its extensive use of a two-dimensional notation not easily reduced to a linear sequence of characters. With careful study, however, the notation can be seen to possess a clear internal logic, and an easily keyboardable serialized form for data capture can be designed, which makes it easy to transcribe even complex formulas. Invisible XML supports the key step of parsing that data capture format and turning it into usefully structured XML, from which routine stylesheets can generate SVG images of the two-dimensional formulae and other useful outputs.

Life can be comfortable inside a walled garden. But if we wish to engage with the world, we need to knock down those walls.
The Secret Garden
Authors: Usdin B. Tommie
Published: July 2023

We in the markup community have built ourselves a beautiful and ever-improving place to work. We can move content into markup, we have a variety of tools to manipulate marked-up content, we can move at will from tool to tool, we create a variety of products from that marked up content, and we believe our marked up content will be long lived. We frequently lament that most of the world doesn’t live in our techno-garden, and we occasionally admit that most of the world doesn’t even know it exists. At Balisage this year we will learn about ways in which our technology is improving. We will hear about some of the projects we are doing with markup and some of the problems we are having. And we will hear (a little) about how we are opening the gate to our garden and interacting with the outside world.
Content and language integrated learning: enhancing language acquisition and content understanding
Authors: Shykun Alla
Published: August 2023

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an educational approach that integrates the teaching of content subjects with the learning of a foreign or second language. This article explores the concept of CLIL, its benefits, and provides evidence-based citations to support its effectiveness in language acquisition and content understanding. The benefits of CLIL include enhanced language acquisition, improved content understanding, increased motivation and engagement, and the development of cultural and intercultural competence. Research has shown that CLIL students demonstrate improved language proficiency in all language skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. CLIL also facilitates a deeper understanding of academic content by allowing students to explore complex topics using authentic language. Furthermore, CLIL programs promote active learning and intrinsic motivation, as students perceive the relevance and utility of the language being learned. The integration of language learning with content subjects creates opportunities for cultural and intercultural competence development, as students are exposed to diverse perspectives and collaborate with individuals from different linguistic backgrounds. Multiple studies have provided evidence supporting the effectiveness of CLIL. Research has consistently shown that CLIL programs result in significant improvements in language proficiency, both in receptive and productive skills. Additionally, CLIL students have demonstrated higher levels of motivation and engagement compared to those in traditional language learning settings. The findings from these studies highlight the positive impact of CLIL on language acquisition and content understanding. As the demand for multilingual individuals continues to grow in our interconnected world, CLIL stands as a valuable educational approach that equips learners with language skills and subject knowledge simultaneously. This article serves as a comprehensive overview of CLIL, providing educators, researchers, and policymakers with insights into the benefits and evidence supporting the implementation of CLIL programs in educational settings.
Дипломатичний набір інструментів штучного інтелекту
Authors: Гачкевич Андрій , Николишин Мар'яна
Published: August 2023

У статті порушується питання наслідків впливу штучного інтелекту на дипломатичну сферу як результатів науково-технічного прогресу, що впливає на міжнародні відносини та зовнішню політику в глобальному контексті. Мета проведеного дослідження полягає в розробці теоретико-прикладних основ застосування технологій штучного інтелекту дипломатами, враховуючи новітні розробки технологічних компаній. Використовуючи формально-логічний підхід, автори розглядають поняття систем штучного інтелекту як різновидів цифрових технологій на основі проєктів важливих міжнародних документів Ради Європи та Європейського Союзу найближчого майбутнього. У статті приділяється особливу увагу машинному навчанню та обробці природної мови як характерним рисам, що відрізняють системи штучного інтелекту від інших цифрових технологій. Показано, наскільки прогресивним став рівень техніки сьогодення, а отже розширилась  сукупність можливостей для підвищення ефективності дипломатів. Оновлення підходів та методів дипломатичної роботи надає можливість делегувати ряд завдань здатним до навчання комп’ютерам, зокрема з опрацювання великих масивів. Автори конкретизують завдання, що ставляться перед дипломатами, у двох напрямах:  обробка доступної інформації (аналіз тексту, аналіз зображень, вивчення громадської думки), створення нової (надання консультацій,  написання тексту, переклад). Виділяється ще один напрям – адміністрування – прогнозування в міжнародних відносинах та управління помічниками, який досліджується поверхнево. Розглядаються перспективи впровадження новітніх цифрових технологій, здатних імітувати людський розум, у діяльність міністерств іноземних справ та закордонних органів зовнішніх зносин. Наведено приклади розробок, які вже сьогодні можуть формувати дипломатичний набір інструментів штучного інтелекту (Grammarly, Google Universal Translator, Rytr, Brandwatch, Tableau, Google Trends, DiploGPT та ін.). Системи штучного інтелекту, які вивчаються в статті, пов’язані з явищем цифровізації як об’єктом дослідження та формують тенденції, які визначають майбутнє людства. Осмислення їхнього застосування в дипломатії дозволяє з більшою точністю передбачити процеси змін в міжнародних відносинах та зовнішній політиці, а також управляти ними.

The development of information technology is snowballing, data is processed quickly and practically. Several problems often arise. Social instructors often find it difficult to process the data to determine which social service decisions should be provided. Persons with Disabilities are any person who experiences physical, intellectual, mental, and sensory limitations in the long term in interacting with the environment and may experience obstacles and difficulties in participating fully and effectively with other citizens based on equal rights. The Initial Assessment Form is a decision-making instrument through a process called the Initial Assessment. Later, the need for Social Welfare Services (PPKS) can be known as whether the quality is ready to be educated and included in the residential, community, or family categories. The method in this research is to use the Engineering Research Method. The decision tree model produces an accuracy level of 86.6%, the test data is suitable, and 13.3% is not suitable. In determining the service category and calculating the C4.5 Algorithm, it is better to add the number of datasets so that the accuracy of the value is higher.
