Beta-diversity buffers fragmented landscapes against local species losses
Authors: Dambros Cristian , Izzo Thiago , Vicente Ricardo , Peres Carlos
Published: September 2023

Agricultural expansion has markedly reduced forests and reconfigured
landscapes. These changes incur a well-known detrimental impact on the
biodiversity of local forest patches, but the effects on species
persistence at entire landscapes comprised of multiple patches are
debated. We investigated how regional diversity is affected by habitat
loss, fragmentation, and cattle grazing, and how species respond to
deforestation both locally and regionally. We also investigated how the
heterogeneity in species distribution (beta-diversity) buffers
landscapes against local diversity losses. The vast majority of the 251
ant species found in our study were negatively affected by both habitat
loss and cattle at local forest patches, drastically reducing diversity
at these patches compared to pristine forests. Despite local declines in
diversity, however, heavily fragmented landscapes could still retain
most species due to the high heterogeneity in species distribution. We
found that beta-diversity is the main component of regional diversity.
Results from several studies suggest that this component is maximized
when remnant primary habitats in a landscape are spread across vast
areas. Although preserving local diversity may be important for the
adequate functioning of the ecosystem locally, our results indicate that
the maintenance of many small forest patches in a landscape can buffer
regional biodiversity against local species losses. Our results suggest
that even small forest remnants in otherwise deforested landscapes can
prevent most regional-scale species extirpations, and therefore also
merit conservation efforts.
Marsh interspersion and muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) habitat use
Authors: Melvin Gregory , Bowman Jeff
Published: September 2023

Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) populations have been declining in North
America for decades. The precise cause of these widespread declines has
not yet been identified. Over a similar timeframe, wetlands across large
regions of North America have been experiencing an invasion of cattails
(Typha). Non-native T. angustifolia readily hybridizes with native T.
latifolia to produce T. x glauca, which tends to dominate over parental
species and other wetland plants alike. T. x glauca invasions are
associated with many negative consequences for wetlands, including a
reduction in biodiversity, open water habitat, and interspersion of
water and vegetation. Muskrats are strongly tied to wetlands, especially
where there is a high degree of interspersion of water and emergent
vegetation. Therefore, a widespread reduction in interspersion caused by
T. x glauca invasions may be contributing to widespread muskrat
population declines. We sought to understand the impact of reduced marsh
interspersion on fine-scale muskrat habitat use which will shed more
light on broad-scale population trends. We measured intensity of habitat
use by muskrats in a large, Typha-dominated marsh in south-central
Ontario using remote cameras, stratifying camera placement along a
gradient of marsh interspersion. We found no correlation between
interspersion and intensity of use, suggesting that factors other than
interspersion may drive intensity of use. Our study site, like most
marshes in the region, was highly dominated by T. x glauca. Further
research is needed to determine the impact of T. x glauca invasions on
muskrats, as well as the cause of widespread muskrat declines. Keywords:
muskrats, intensity of use, camera traps, invasive species, Typha,

Progress of research into the pharmacological effect and clinical application of the traditional Chinese medicine Rehmanniae Radix.
Authors: Jia jinhao , Chen jianfei , Wang guoli , Li Minjing , Li Defang , Zheng Qiusheng
Published: September 2023

The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Rehmanniae Radix (RR)
refers to the fresh or dried root tuber of the plant Rehmannia
glutinosa Libosch of the family Scrophulariaceae. As a traditional
Chinese herbal medicine (CHM), it possesses multiple effects, including
analgesia, sedation, anti-inflammation, antioxidation, anti-tumor,
immunomodulation, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular regulation, and
nerve damage repair, and it has been widely used in clinical practice.
In recent years, scientists have extensively studied the active
components and pharmacological effects of RR. Active ingredients mainly
include iridoid glycosides (such as catalpol and aucuboside),
phenylpropanoid glycosides (such as acteoside), other saccharides, and
unsaturated fatty acids. In addition, the Chinese patent medicine (CPM)
and Chinese decoction related to RR have also become major research
subjects for TCM practitioners; one example is the Bolus of Six Drugs,
which includes Rehmannia, Lily Bulb and Rehmannia Decoction, and Siwu
Decoction. This article reviews recent literature on RR; summarizes the
studies on its chemical constituents, pharmacological effects, and
clinical applications; and analyzes the progress and limitations of
current investigations to provide reference for further exploration and
development of RR.
Redox regulation in chloroplast thylakoid lumen: The pmf changes everything, again.
Authors: Hoh Donghee , Froehlich John E. , Kramer David M.
Published: September 2023

Photosynthesis is the foundation of all life on Earth, providing oxygen
and energy. However, if not well regulated, it can also generate toxic
reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause photodamage. Regulation
of photosynthesis is highly dynamic, responding to both environmental
and metabolic cues, and occurs at many levels, from light capture to
energy storage and metabolic processes. One general mechanism of
regulation involves the reversible oxidation and reduction of protein
thiol groups, which can affect the activity of enzymes and the stability
of proteins. Such redox regulation has been well studied in stromal
enzymes, but more recently evidence has emerged of redox control of
thylakoid lumenal enzymes. This review/hypothesis paper summarizes the
latest research and discusses several open questions and challenges to
achieving effective redox control in the lumen, focusing on the distinct
environments and regulatory components of the thylakoid lumen, including
the need to transport electrons across the thylakoid membrane, the
effects of pH changes in the stromal and lumenal compartments, and the
observed differences in redox states. These constraints suggest that
activated oxygen species are likely to be major regulatory contributors
to lumenal thiol redox regulation, with key components and processes yet
to be discovered.
A literature review on retrial queueing system with Bernoulli vacation
Authors: Micheal Mathavavisakan Nicholas Gnana , Indhira Kandaiyan
Published: September 2023

The retrial phenomenon occurs inherently in a wide range of queueing systems. The majority of retrial queueing models do not account for vacation. However, in practice, retrial queueing systems undergo vacations for maintenance or other reasons. In this study, we provide an in-depth analysis of the many possible retrial queueing systems when Bernoulli vacations are in effect. Moreover, this study outlines the key principles and reviews the relevant literature. The framework of a retrial queue with Bernoulli vacation has numerous applications in computer networking systems, manufacturing and production mechanisms, inventory systems, including network service, mail service and file transfer service, etc. Several retrial queueing systems have been investigated, notably M/M/1, M/M/C, M/G/1, M[X]/G/1, and Geo/G/1. Many other important situations, such as server interruption, feedback, G-queue, impatient customers, priority customers, etc., have been explored in relation to retrial queues with Bernoulli vacation and the results of these investigations are also highlighted. The foremost objective of this study is to help researchers, administrators and technical workers who want to use queuing theory to simulate congestion and need to know where to find details on the right models. Finally, some open problems and potential future lines of survey are also covered.

Sonuç olarak; yüzey sertlik değeri malzeme çeşidi bakımından en yüksek, Doğu kayını, sentetik vernik, nano bor ve %0,1’de, en düşük sarıçam, su bazlı vernik, nano gümüş ve %0,3’de tespit edilmiştir. Çoklu etkileşimde en yüksek Doğu kayını+sentetik vernik+%0,1 nano bor (28,00)’de, en düşük sarıçam+sentetik vernik+%0,3 nano gümüş (11,20)’ de elde edilmiştir. Kontrol örneklerine göre, nano malzemeler verniklerin yüzey sertliğine azaltıcı etki gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum, vernik sertliğinin önemli olduğu uygulama alanlarında dikkate alınması avantaj sağlayabilir. Antibakteriyel özelliği yüksek olan nano malzemelerin ahşap üst yüzey işlemlerinde kullanılması ile yeni fikirler ortaya çıkacak ve aşınma riski yüksek olan kullanım alanlarında avantaj sağlayacaktır.
Revolução 4.0, política fiscal e riscos para efetivação dos direitos fundamentais
Authors: Guaitolini Guilherme , Morais José Luis Bolzan de
Published: September 2023

O Estado Social, por meio das políticas públicas, poderá ser exigido ainda mais durante e após a Revolução 4.0, visto que ocorrerá mudanças significativas no trabalho humano (substituição do trabalho humano pela máquina pelo elevado processo de automação e precarização de uma parcela dos empregos), no consumo, na riqueza (aumento do valor dos bens intangíveis) e o surgimento de novos direitos fundamentais, como o acesso à internet. As políticas públicas são financiadas, principalmente, pelas receitas tributárias, que foram instituídas em um momento que a riqueza estava vinculada ao trabalho humano e aos bens tangíveis. O potencial problema (crise fiscal do Estado) não terá uma solução simples de elevar os tributos vigentes na atualidade, já que poderá gerar efeitos contrários (aumento da sonegação e redução de atividade econômica). No presente caso, para o Estado atender a essa nova realidade e conseguir efetivar os direitos fundamentais é necessário adequar sua política de arrecadação tributária para as novas riquezas geradas na Revolução 4.0, tais como a tributação robótica, de intangíveis, das transações internacionais e outras. A presente pesquisa envolverá uma revisão bibliográfica e econômica dos impactos da Revolução 4.0 na sociedade, na política fiscal e sobre o financiamento das políticas públicas.

Comparison Between Noninvasive and Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring in Post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Patients Admitted to Cardiac Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Ngabea Murtala, Audu
Published: September 2023

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains one of the most important treatment modality for all the spectrum of artherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Post PCI patients are routinely admitted into the cardiac intensive care unit (ICCU) for observation and further management during which blood pressure (BP) and other hemodynamic parameters are monitored. Blood pressure (BP) monitoring is vital for the management of hemodynamically unstable patients in the cardiac intensive care Unit (ICCU). Despite errors from inaccurate calibration, movement artifacts and over or underdamping, invasive arterial blood pressure (IABP) monitoring remains the preferred method of monitoring BP in hemodynamically unstable patients. Nonetheless, automated noninvasive BP (NIBP) monitoring is commonly used in critically ill patients in cardiac ICU. Aim of study: To compare IABP using radial and femoral arterial line with NIBP monitoring, and to determine if radial and femoral arterial lines can be used interchangeably in patients undergoing PCI. Methodology: A total of eighty post PCI patients who had arterial line cannulation during PCI and admitted into ICCU were enrolled. Study participants were divided into two groups of Fourty (40) patients each. One group had IABP monitoring via right femoral artery line while the second group had IABP monitoring via right radial artery cannular. A cuff was placed on the left arm for concurrent noninvasive BP monitoring in all 80 patients. Data were obtained by performing noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) t and concurrent IABP four times at one hourly intervals with first reading taken at time of admission to cardiac intensive care unit labelled (T1). NIBP values were compared with IABP values as the reference standard. Results: There were significant differences between systolic IABP as well as mean arterial invasive blood pressure measurements obtained through both radial and femoral routes compared with noninvasive blood pressure measurements (NIBP). No statistically significant differences in invasive blood pressure measurements between the radial and femoral catheter routes was detected. Conclusion: Noninvasive blood pressure measurement alone is insufficient for monitoring of post PCI patients admitted to cardiac intensive care unit after coronary angioplasty. The femoral and radial arterial lines can be used interchangeably for blood pressure monitoring in cardiac intensive care unit.

Authors: Manoria Piyush , Noor MT
Published: September 2023

Background: Etiology of extra hepatic biliary obstruction (EHBO) is often a diagnostic dilemma. To differentiate between benign and malignant causes is of utmost important. Therefore, we conduct a study to know the various predictors of malignancy in it. Material and Methods: 138 consecutive patients diagnosed as EHBO were included in the study. After detail history, examination and investigations patients were divided into benign and malignant groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was done. Receiver operating characteristics curve was drawn to determine the optimal diagnostic cut- off value for predicting malignancy. Results: On univariate analysis patients with malignant EHBO were older, had more loss of weight, cholestatic symptoms, presence of hepatomegaly, palpable gall bladder, higher mean serum bilirubin [18.45±8.09 vs 9.70±9.40 mg/dl (p value <0.001)] and higher mean serum alkaline phosphatase [517.38±234.01 vs 356.44±208.98 IU/L (p value <0.001)]. Area under curve showed cut off value for serum bilirubin of >16.5 mg/dl (sensitivity 61.9%, specificity 84.3% and 95% confidence interval 0.751-0.896) and of serum alkaline phosphatase of >455IU/L (sensitivity 52.4%, specificity 82.9% and 95% confidence interval 0.651-0.824) as a predictor of malignancy. Multivariate analysis showed palpable gall bladder and serum bilirubin > 16.5 mg/dl to be independent predictors of malignancy. Conclusion: In patients with EHBO palpable gall bladder, serum bilirubin > 16.5 mg/dl and serum alkaline phosphatase > 455 IU/ L are important discriminating factors for malignancy.

Debottlenecking The Complexities of Stakeholder Management in Indonesia Offshore Platform Decommissioning
Authors: Mahdi Desi Aresa , Yudoko Gatot , Wicaksono Agung
Published: September 2023

Indonesia’s Offshore platform decommissioning is a complex activity involving lots of stakeholders with different interest and power. To date only one (1) platform that has been removed from its origin place offshore and sank as rig-to-reef near Kalimantan, Indonesia. The whole business process took 7 (seven) years from the first discussion in 2017 until the execution in 2022, which is not desirable for future decommissioning projects. This research collected data from the key stakeholders including the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) Contractor and several institutions involved in the project to examine the complexities of stakeholder alignment as study case for future decommissioning project. The qualitative analysis utilizes Current Reality Tree to find the root cause and Future Reality Tree to identify required injection to improve the stakeholder alignment. The results show three main challenges: unavailability of Abandonment and Site Restoration (ASR) Fund, decision of end-of-state of the facilities, and process approval for Asset Write-Off. The root causes are weak implementation of existing decommissioning regulations and lack of understanding of stakeholder’s needs. Injection into the future reality tree include formalizing funding mechanism for the PSC with no ASR fund, introduction of umbrella regulation to cover different business process in different ministries and establishment of ASR strategy by taking into account the PSC organizational capability.

Published: September 2023

Padang city is one of the regions of Indonesia that has potential in the tourism sector, one of which is beach tourism. The tourism sector is one of the largest sectors and the main mainstay for the economy in various countries, including Indonesia. Countries that rely on the tourism sector must pay attention to several factors that attract tourists, one of which is climate comfort. Climate information is a major factor in choosing a tourist trip. This study aims to analyze the level of climate comfort in the coastal tourism area of Padang City using the Holiday Climate Index (HCI) method. HCI uses climate parameters such as air temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall, and cloud cover. HCI calculation data in the form of observation data obtained from the Meteorology Climatology Geophysics Agency (BMKG) station at Minangkabau International Airport and the Teluk Bayur Maritime Meteorology Station from 2011-2020, direct measurement data from August to September, and questionnaires. The results of the HCI analysis show that the city of Padang is comfortable throughout the year, with the HCI value in the range of 58.6-71.6 which is categorized as acceptable to very good. The results obtained through direct measurements also obtained comfortable results throughout the day with HCI values in the range of 70-80. Perceptions of tourists interviewed also stated that overall tourists felt comfortable with the percentage of respondents as much as 74.1%. HCI can be used as a source of information to determine the value of climate comfort in tourist areas.

This study aims to determine the category of comfortable thermal sensation in traveling based on the value of the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) thermal index. The research sites were selected in Padang Beach (PP), Air Manis Beach (PAM) and Nirwana Beach (PN). Calculation of perception of comfort using questionnaire data to visitors. PET calculation data is sourced from the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) in 2011-2020 and direct measurement data. The results show that the PET thermal sensation category for the Padang City coastal area throughout the year (2011-2020) is included in the "warm" category for tourism activities. Likewise, direct measurements show the "very hot" category with a PET value of 40.3ºC. However, interviews with visitors showed that the overall comfort condition was “neutral” (62%). This is due to environmental conditions that provide a comfortable effect on visitors. The majority of visitors were interviewed under the auspices. Although the measured air temperature is classified as "high", the effects of trees, walking paths and rest areas make visitors feel comfortable.

AN ANALYSIS OF COMMISSIVE SPEECH ACTS USED BY THE MAIN CHARACTERS IN WOMEN-CENTRIC MOVIES
Authors: Ashfiya Hamadah , Degaf Agwin
Published: September 2023

This study explores the usage of commissive speech acts in the women-centric movies "Little Women" and "Enola Holmes." It employs Searle's classification of speech acts (1979), along with Hymes' social structure theory (2001) and Brown Levinson's politeness theory (1987). The analysis uncovers various types of commissive speech acts in movies set in the nineteenth century. Furthermore, it reveals that the employment of commissive speech acts and the politeness strategies employed by the characters are significantly influenced by the social structure of their respective societies. These findings contribute novel insights to the existing theories and extend the scope of sociopragmatics research, particularly in evaluating movies within academic settings. The study suggests conducting further research encompassing diverse cases, exploring other aspects of speech act studies, and engaging in comparative or cross-cultural analyses.

Published: September 2023

This study looks for connections between global career development and trends in talent management research.  In the context of TM, career development plays an important role. This is because individual careers have significant potential to serve organizational strategic goals. After all, investment in organizational career development is beneficial not only for individuals, but also for organizational performance. For this research, the author processes Scopus index journal data using VOSviewer. This study used VOSviewer to analyze the data and map the most general and well-liked focal topics. 192 research papers in RIS format were used in this study. The Scopus database shows a fluctuation in the amount of research done on talent management and career development over the last few years and a decline in that interest.  The VOSviewer analysis map classifies the most prominent nodes so that the most significant influence is the "talent" node so that it can be. The limitation of this study is that the data source was only compiled from prior studies; thus, more analysis would be beneficial to improve the data source and the reliability of the findings.
Lipoproteins within the lymphatic system: Insights into health, disease, and therapeutic implications
Authors: Yousef Malaz , Chacra Nadia Bou , Davies Neal M. , Löbenberg Raimar
Published: September 2023

This analysis of contemporary findings aims to enhance our understanding of lipoprotein biology within the lymphatic system and its relevance to human health and disease. It delves into the complex interrelationship between lipoproteins and the lymphatic system, encompassing their diverse classes and pivotal roles in the absorption and transport of drugs, vitamins, and xenobiotics. Lipoproteins consist of a hydrophobic core comprising non-polar lipids and a hydrophilic membrane composed of phospholipids, free cholesterol, and apolipoproteins. The lymphatic system collaborates with lipoproteins in the absorption and transport of dietary lipids. Simultaneously, it plays a vital role in the regulation of body fluid levels and acts as a formidable defense mechanism against infections. Lipoprotein classes encompass chylomicrons, chylomicron remnants, very low-density lipoproteins, intermediate density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, high-density lipoproteins, and lipoprotein (a). Understanding the intricate relationship between lipoproteins and the lymphatic system holds immense implications for comprehending the underlying pathological processes of various diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes and obesity among others. By shedding light on the interplay between lipoproteins and the lymphatic system, this report underscores the significance of conducting research that contributes to the advancement of our knowledge in this field. Ultimately, such research paves the way for potential therapeutic interventions and novel strategies to address numerous disorders.
Aging community, changing crops: The faith of grapes in Turkey
Authors: Ayaz Atak
Published: September 2023

This article explains the social and economic changes that transpired in Turkey's rural areas by focusing on a vigneron village in the country's northwest. My goal is to show that the neo-liberalization of Turkey's economy in the 1980s and the privatization of state-owned production facilities in the 2000s exacerbated the devaluation of farmers' products and the depreciation of their labor. As a result of income unpredictability and an aging population, agrarian communities have either turned their vineyards into olive groves or uprooted them. Meanwhile, since the early 2000s, grape cultivation in Turkey has entered a wine-oriented phase primarily led by urbanites from non-agricultural sectors. Even though the percentage of wine grapes has increased in recent years, they mostly come from newly established vineyards of a new class of wine entrepreneurs. Based on 13 months of ethnographic research in vineyards and small-scale wineries in Turkey's Thrace, I argue that the peasantry in Turkey is in a transition that poses an indeterminate future for the country's grape cultivation and vineyard areas.

Published: September 2023

Color matching is an extremely critical aspect of interior design, and the development of the times has put forward higher requirements for the science of color matching. In this paper, the framework of the structural vector autoregressive model is established by introducing a structural equation in the vector autoregressive model, associating the equation for the lagged value of each endogenous variable and the deterministic time trend term, and solving the equation according to the contemporaneous relationship between data variables. Meanwhile, the structural equation is transformed into the induced form, and the parameters of the SVAR model are estimated using the perturbation terms of the induced form. Then, the underlying principle of color matching effect is analyzed in terms of hue, lightness, and purity based on the SVAR model, and the design is optimized by combining the needs in different scenes. For the home’s interior design, the color matching based on the SVAR model improved the spatial sense effect by 24.05% on average. For office interior design, the SVAR approach improved the emotional expression effect by an average of 18.96%. For commercial interior design, SVAR-based color matching effectively improved coordination by 11.25%. This study helps to break the traditional interior design color application, emphasizes the role of ambiance played by color, and provides an effective addition to the theory of color application in interior design.

Authors: Zhu Zhenji
Published: September 2023

To deeply analyze the performance of paper-cutting elements in interior space design, this paper explores the artistic expression of paper-cutting elements. The BIM model is constructed based on the TVL algorithm, and a noise-reducing style migration method with an additional total variable loss function is used to fuse the texture features of a specific paper-cutting style so that the paper-cutting texture is generated in the target object area more intensively. The algorithm is supplemented with a U-shaped network structure to obtain the mask map of the target object, modify and expand the ScanNet training data set, and input a content map and a style map to generate the stylized paper cutout image automatically. The results show that compared with other elements, the stability of paper-cut elements reaches 96.31%, the image smoothness reaches 89.34%, and the retention of significant regions reaches 93.26%. In modern design, the peak signal-noise of paper-cut elements improved by 13.418d on average, the structural similarity also improved by 0.34807, and the recognition rate of paper-cut elements in the furnishing category reached 95%. Applying paper-cut art in interior space design can give interior furnishing design better visual effects, provide inspiration and ideas for interior space design innovation, and contribute to improving aesthetics.
Effect of post-welding coating process on the organization and properties of MIG-welded T-joints of 6063-T6 aluminum alloy
Authors: Zhu Ximing
Published: September 2023

With the rapid development of the precision industry, aluminum alloy structural parts have been widely used. However, in the welding process of aluminum alloy, there are problems such as welding deformation and weld tumor defects due to the special physical characteristics of aluminum alloy. Therefore, this paper mainly focuses on 6063-T6 aluminum alloy as the research object to analyze the effect of the coating process on the organizational properties of MIG welded T-joints of 6063-T6 aluminum alloy. First, based on the Simufact welding finite element analysis platform, the establishment of a three-dimensional welding simulation model, the simulation calculations and test results for comparison, the peak temperature and temperature change trend of each measurement point between the two. Secondly, according to the T-joint welding process, welding numerical simulation of 6063-T6 aluminum alloy rear compartment structural parts to obtain the rear compartment assembly welding residual stress is mainly concentrated in the vicinity of the weld. Finally, the impact of welding current on the organization and properties of T-shaped welded joints of 6063-T6 aluminum alloy was discussed. The results show that the coating process has a good strengthening effect on the mechanical properties of welded joints. Compared with the pre-coating process, the welded joint tensile strength increased by 14.93%, and the welding coefficient of 73% of the parent material heat-affected zone microhardness increased by 21.82% compared to the pre-coating process. In this paper, the finite element theory of the coating process and MIG welding, T-joint organization between the found welding heat-affected zone after the coating process can make Mg, and Si atoms continue to be enriched, and mechanical properties strength is enhanced.
The Impact of Corporate Governance Mechanism on Fair Value Measurement in the Indonesian Banking and Financial Industries
Authors: Nugraheni Bernadia Linggar Yekti
Published: September 2023

Fair value is one of an important measurement since the diffusion of International Financial Reporting Standards around the world. Studies of manager opportunistic behaviors through fair value numbers in developing countries have been overlooked. This study aims to investigate the influence of corporate governance mechanism towards an opportunistic behavior through fair value measurement i.e. fair value inputs level 3. This study applied multiple regression and used samples of banking and financial companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2015 and 2019. The corporate governance is proxied by three measurements i.e. managerial ownership, institutional ownership and audit committee educational background. This study finds that managerial ownership and institutional ownership have positive influences on fair value inputs level 3. Meanwhile, the independent commissioners and audit committee educational background have negative influences on fair value inputs level 3. Therefore, this study provides evidence that independent commissioners and audit committee educational background can reduce management opportunistic behaviors which is conducted through fair value measurement.
Exploring the Affiliation between Integrated Reporting and Firm Performance: Evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Shahria Golam
Published: September 2023

The objective of this study is to assess the extent of integrated reporting (IR) practice with reference to the disclosure pattern and to examine its association with financial performance and market growth in the voluntary disclosure of manufacturing companies in Bangladesh. Samples of this study are 41 manufacturing companies from nine different industries listed in Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE). The total observations were 123 firm year observations. Using two-stage-least-squares approach to reduce endogeneity concerns, this study reveals that Integrated Reporting Index (IRDINX) is positively and significantly related with firm performance. However, the relationship between IRDINX and growth is positive but insignificant. The content analysis found an increasing pattern of IR disclosure by the sample firms. The findings of this study encourage firms to adopt IR practice and add value to the existing literature as very few researches have been done on IR area in Bangladesh.
Limits of Application of the jura novit arbiter Principle in International Arbitration: Some Issues of Theory and Practice
Authors: Davydenko D. L. , Muksunova R. N.
Published: September 2023

INTRODUCTION. The principle of jura novit arbiter or jura novit tribunus is an analogue of the doctrine of jura novit curia in international arbitration proceedings which is free from the peculiarities of national laws. The significance of its application in international arbitration lies in the powers of an arbitral tribunal to participate in ascertaining the content of the applicable law. Given the features of international arbitration, material limitations are put on the jura novit arbiter principle in order to protect the rights and interests of disputing parties. However, limitations have both positive and negative legal effects.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The authors researched the provisions of international treaties, case law of tribunals and state courts demonstrating the scope of the arbitrator’s discretionary powers and the effects of its limitation, as well as the works of Russian and foreign scholars. The methodological basis of the research includes general scientific and special methods.

RESEARCH RESULTS. The analyses of international treaties and case law led to the elaboration of the list of the main limits of the jura novit arbiter application. The study examined the issues in the relationship between jura novit arbiter and other principles aimed at narrowing the scope of its functioning.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The results of the analysis allow to draw the following conclusions. First, there are three major constraints put on the arbitrators' discretion: 1) ne ultra petita (not beyond the request), 2) due process in terms of a right to be heard and the foreseeability test, 3) expediency and efficiency of arbitral proceedings. Secondly, the limitation of the principle is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, it ensures legal certainty and predictability of an arbitral proceeding and its outcome, secures the rights and interests of the parties. On the other hand, the aforementioned limitations reveal also some downsides: there is no clear guidance on identifying conditions under which the ne ultra petita principle does not serve as a boundary of the jura novit arbiter principle; the "foreseeability" is an evaluative concept; and the imbalance between expediency and efficiency principles and jura novit arbiter may give rise to concerns about the established content of the applicable law.
