Beyond Gender Diversity: Two Shades of Women Directors and Bank Cash Holdings
Authors:   COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore, Pakistan, Abid Ammar , Younas Ahmed ,   COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore, Pakistan
Published: February 2025

Drawing upon the precautionary savings theory and agency theory, the researchers present two competing hypotheses to examine the influence of women directors, critical mass, and the attributes of women directors (specifically, educational expertise in terms of level and type, and financial expertise) on decisions related to bank cash holdings. Utilizing a dataset comprising 1375 observations representing 187 Asian commercial banks spanning from 2011 to 2019, it is discovered that women directors (as well as a critical mass of women directors) exhibit a negative correlation with bank cash holdings, supporting the agency problem-based explanation. These findings remain robust across alternative econometric specifications and varied measures of cash holdings. Concerning the impact of educational expertise, results from the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) analysis indicate that women directors with a high level of education reduce the level of cash holdings, and those with qualifications in business/accounting/finance also decrease the level of cash holdings when measured by CASH1. Notably, the results reveal that women directors with a financial background increase excess cash holdings, aligning with the precautionary savings-based explanation. The findings contribute valuable insights to the ongoing global discourse on gender diversity and its ramifications for the banking sector.

Parental involvement plays a pivotal role in the lives of their offspring. Education is a highly regarded aspect at present. Parents are concerned about their children and their education. In Sri Lanka, parents are involved in their children's academic lives. Therefore, common knowledge is that parental involvement impacts the academic performance of undergraduates, this phenomenon has not yet been conducted in the Sri Lanka context. Hence, to fill this empirical gap, this study aims to understand whether there is an impact of parental involvement and demographic factors on the academic success of undergraduates. Data were collected from state and private university undergraduates in the Western Province through a simple random sampling technique. The questionnaire was developed through a thorough analysis of the past literature available in the related field. Data were analyzed through Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Through analysis, it was found that there is insufficient evidence to prove that there is a significant impact of parental involvement on undergraduates. While the result deviates from common expectations, distanced parent-child relationships in the modern era may have caused this result. In addition to the contribution to the body of knowledge, this study assists educational institutions in policy implementation and parents and teachers in parenting and teaching respectively. Further, this study can be further extended with comprehensive coverage of undergraduates and getting the opinions from parents' side as well.

Authors:   University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka, Senarathna G. H. N. , Anuradha P. A. N. S. ,   University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka
Published: February 2025

The term "financial wellness" is increasingly used to assess an individual's financial situation. Amidst a severe economic crisis in 2021 and 2022, Sri Lanka is grappling with significant challenges, including a scarcity of foreign currency, impending debt payments, inflation, and shortages of essential supplies. This crisis has particularly affected the younger generation, impacting both their education and businesses. Public university students in Sri Lanka face rising costs of living, including food, accommodation, transport, and educational materials. The financial crisis has exacerbated these challenges, limiting students' ability to meet their daily expenditures. While state universities offer free education, the quality and accessibility are constrained by severe competition and standardized programs. This study aims to examine the impact of financial literacy and financial distress on the financial wellness of public university students in Sri Lanka. Despite extensive international research on financial literacy, distress, and wellness, there is a notable gap in understanding these dynamics in the Sri Lankan context. Primary data collection involved distributing survey questionnaires to a randomly selected sample of public university students. The questionnaire assessed demographic information, financial literacy, financial distress, and financial wellness, totaling 61 questions. Data analysis was conducted using EVIEWS and Excel. The study found a strong positive relationship between financial literacy and financial wellness, supporting Hypothesis 01. While Hypothesis 02 suggested a negative relationship between financial distress and financial wellness, it was not statistically significant. However, Hypothesis 03 confirmed a significant combined impact of financial literacy and distress on financial wellness. Despite the economic challenges in Sri Lanka, public university students exhibit higher financial literacy and effective financial management. The study underscores the significant impact of financial literacy and distress on financial wellness, providing valuable insights for policymakers and educational institutions.

The Role of Inter-organizational Knowledge Transfer on the Sustainable Development of the Coastal Tourism Industry: A Preliminary Study from Sri Lanka
Authors:   Leeds Beckett University, United Kingdom, Samaradheera Ama
Published: February 2025

This preliminary research aims to examine the impacts of actively using knowledge transfer among inter-organizations related to the coastal tourism industry to promote sustainable development implementation. This research project is an exploratory, qualitative study focusing on knowledge transfer practices from an inter-organisational perspective in the context of sustainable coastal tourism in Sri Lanka. Moreover, a qualitative approach is used in this research. Participants chose from academic, government, industry, and coastal community clusters. The researcher chose industrial and coastal community participants from the Hikkaduwa district. Hikkaduwa was chosen because it was one of the primary coastal tourism destinations in this island nation, and overdevelopment, environmental degradation, and civil war threaten this once vibrant and robust coastal ecosystem and tourism-dependent economy. Data was collected via online and in-person interviews. This study uses a reflexive thematic analysis approach to analyze the data from the coastal-related stakeholders’ views, opinions, knowledge, and experiences. Further, it addresses the lack of prior exploratory research in knowledge transfer, the inter-organizational perspective of the Sri Lanka coastal tourism industry and the need for theories, and strategies implications in this area, which has been a lack of focus by academics. Further, this research develops a conceptual framework based on the quintuple helix model. This model demonstrates the importance of healthy interaction and calls for collective interaction and knowledge transfer through education systems, political systems, economic systems, social systems, and the natural environment (Hartanto et al, 2021). Hence, the research contributes to both practice and theory in different ways.
Keywords: Coastal Tourism, Inter-Organizational Knowledge Transfer, Quintuple Helix Model and Sustainable Development.

This research paper aims to explore the factors influencing supply chain resilience in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) operating within Sri Lanka's construction industry during economic crises. The study employed a qualitative approach. Data were collected using purposive sampling with a sample size of eight SMEs in the construction sector registered under the National Enterprise Development Authority of Sri Lanka. Using structured interviews, data were collected, and the responses were analysed using the Manual Thematic analysis procedure. The study findings states that collaboration, entrepreneurial orientation, internal integration, and outsourcing have been the main factors that have contributed to making the Sri Lankan construction supply chains resilient during Economic crisis. Therefore, it is recommended for the construction firms to focus and improve the presence of these factors in their respective supply chains, to make the supply chains more resilient. This study's significance lies in its focus on construction SMEs in Sri Lanka, offering insights from the perspective of manufacturers, which has been relatively unexplored in existing resilience related research. Although some research articles do touch upon this area, mostly these studies have been conducted in developed nations. Thus, this study contributes to the scant Sri Lankan supply chain resilience literature. Sri Lanka is making strong efforts to support its economy to combat the economic downturn and stabilize. Therefore, the findings of this paper will undoubtedly be useful for the Sri Lankan construction sector while aiding the country to flourish again.

Environmental and economic impacts of sustainable e-waste management: a life cycle assessment approach
Authors: Dada Seyi Rachel , Okoye Elochukwu , Hammed Victor
Published: February 2025

The exponential expansion in electronic device consumption has led to a large increase in electronic waste (e-waste), presenting both environmental concerns and economic issues internationally. This study applies a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate the environmental and economic implications of various e-waste disposal techniques, including landfilling, incineration, and recycling. By studying each stage of e-waste processing—from collection to final disposal—the research aims to develop sustainable approaches that minimize ecological harm while increasing economic advantages. The findings demonstrate that sophisticated recycling technology and the adoption of circular economy principles can greatly cut greenhouse gas emissions, conserve resources, and provide economic value through material recovery
Enjeux de rentabilité et besoins des fermes de proximité en matière de commercialisation et de distribution de leurs produits
Authors: Mundler Patrick , Afif Karima , Azima Stevens , Drouin Charlotte , Genest-Richard Pascal , Ubertino Simone
Published: February 2025

Les « fermes de proximité » qui pratiquent la vente directe sans aucun intermédiaire entre le producteur et le consommateur représentaient 21 % de toutes les fermes québécoises en 2021 comparativement à 19 % en 2016 selon les données les plus récentes. Les initiatives de mise en marché rapprochant le consommateur du producteur font l’objet d’un intérêt renouvelé au Québec comme ailleurs, tant de la part des acteurs de l’agriculture que des pouvoirs publics ou des consommateurs. Ces initiatives visent généralement à offrir aux consommateurs une façon alternative d’acquérir leurs produits alimentaires en réduisant la « distance » entre l’entreprise de production agricole et le consommateur, et ce selon trois dimensions :

1) géographique en cherchant à « reterritorialiser » l’alimentation ;

2) relationnelles en cherchant à réduire le nombre d’intermédiaires entre les personnes qui produisent et celles qui consomment ;

3) cognitives en rendant plus perceptible le lien entre les produits agricoles et l’alimentation, en travaillant de façon plus artisanale et en liant le temps et l’espace avec des produits locaux et de saison.

Dans cette étude, les auteurs cherchent à cerner les enjeux de commercialisation des fermes de proximité et évaluer la faisabilité organisationnelle et économique d’un appui à la mise en œuvre d’outils de mutualisation de certaines activités, à la fois dans le but d’améliorer la productivité et aider à servir de nouveaux marchés, incluant l’approvisionnement institutionnel. Les auteurs formulent des pistes de réflexion pour les pouvoirs publics. Ils suggèrent notamment que l’État pourrait progressivement compléter sa Stratégie nationale d’achat d’aliments québécois (SNAAQ) afin que cette dernière affine les objectifs assignés aux gestionnaires et fasse mieux la différence entre l’achat de produits locaux, issus d’artisans ou de fermes de proximité, et l’approvisionnement en produits québécois qui ne se distinguent pas forcément par leur mode de production et par leurs impacts économiques et sociaux sur le développement territorial.

El consumo sin medida de estos cigarrillos electrónicos suele ocasionar daños significativos a nivel pulmonar, neurológico, cognitivo y cardiovascular; destacando la presencia de las lesiones pulmonares asociadas al uso de cigarrillos electrónicos (EVALI). No obstante, al ser una práctica tan reciente, aún no ha sido ampliamente investigada, situación que destaca la necesidad imperiosa de su estudio y de implementar políticas de regulación más rigurosa, esto debido a la interacción existente entre el consumo de nicotina y el neurodesarrollo de los adolescentes.
Actualización del Hígado Graso a la Enfermedad Hepática Metabólica (MASLD)
Authors: Moreno-Araya José Antonio , Mayorga-Álvarez Ana Lucia , Montealegre-Lobo Ignacio
Published: February 2025

La enfermedad hepática esteatósica asociada a disfunción metabólica (MASLD) es una de las principales causas de morbi-mortalidad hepática, afectando aproximadamente al 30% de la población global, con mayor prevalencia en Latinoamérica. La MASLD puede evolucionar hacia esteatohepatitis no alcohólica (NASH), fibrosis hepática y carcinoma hepatocelular, lo que genera una creciente preocupación por sus implicaciones en la salud pública. El diagnóstico se basa en la identificación de esteatosis hepática mediante biopsia o imágenes radiológicas, junto con la presencia de al menos un factor de riesgo cardio-metabólico, como resistencia a la insulina o dislipidemia. La severidad de la fibrosis hepática se relaciona con la mortalidad, y recientemente se han incorporado técnicas no invasivas como el índice Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) y la elastografía transitoria para su evaluación.

La fisiopatología de la MASLD implica la acumulación de lípidos en los hepatocitos, predisponiendo a la destrucción celular y a la fibrosis. Factores como la obesidad y la diabetes tipo 2 tienen un impacto mayor en la progresión de la enfermedad. El tratamiento de la MASLD debe ser integral, enfocándose en la modificación del estilo de vida, con especial énfasis en la pérdida de peso y la mejora de la dieta. Se han identificado varias intervenciones terapéuticas, como la vitamina E, pioglitazona y GLP-1, que han mostrado eficacia en la mejora de la esteatosis y la fibrosis. No obstante, es fundamental continuar investigando y desarrollando estrategias terapéuticas para abordar este creciente problema de salud y sus complicaciones asociadas.

Authors: Jaisinghani Renu , Patil Rohini
Published: February 2025

Fruit wastes rich in bioactive compounds are increasingly recognized for their potential in various product formulations. The significant global demand for pomegranates and the considerable waste produced during their processing highlights the importance to evaluate the properties of pomegranate peel. The study focuses on a comprehensive phytochemical analysis of pomegranate peel, and its antibacterial and antioxidant activity. Pomegranate peel water extract (POWE) and ethanol extract (POEE) were analyzed using High Resolution Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Quadrupole Time of Flight (HRLCMS-QTOF) in both positive and negative ion modes. HRLCMS-QTOF identified 98 distinct compounds in POEE and 91 in POWE, with phenolic and polyphenolic compounds being prominent, along with significant amounts of lipid derivatives, organic acid derivatives, and organoheterocyclic compounds. The total polyphenol content was higher in POEE (390.05 ± 2.1 mg GAE/g) compared to POWE (330.25 ±1.4 mg GAE/g), and both extracts demonstrated good antioxidant activity. Both POWE and POEE exhibited similar antibacterial activities with MIC and MBC values ranging between 10 and 40 mg/mL, against tested organisms. Overall, the results indicate that pomegranate peel extracts have significant potential as natural antioxidant and antibacterial agent, which may find applications in formulation of industrial products and functional foods.

El (proto)modernismo martiano leído desde el (post)modernismo. Acronía y otros paréntesis en las antologías de poesía cubana
Authors: Pérez Cabaña Rosario
Published: February 2025

El discutido rol de José Martí en la cronología del modernismo hispánico ha generado un extenso debate a lo largo del tiempo. Junto a la crítica literaria, las antologías poéticas han formado parte de la controversia. Prácticamente ignorado como poeta en su época, fue la primera generación republicana la que revitalizó su obra tanto ensayística como poética. Desde Cuba, se fue creando una plataforma cultural enfocada a la superación, desde una óptica regeneracionista, de la situación cultural del país. En España, también desde su propio proceso de regeneración, se inició, tras los desastres de la guerra, «la reconquista espiritual» de Cuba. En este contexto, revisamos el papel que la crítica y las antologías poéticas de las primeras décadas del siglo fueron otorgando a Martí.

Compliance in het strafrecht: de inzet van de compliancemonitor vanuit de strafdoelen beschouwd

In dit artikel staat de compliancemonitor als transactievoorwaarde in het strafrecht centraal. Het conceptwetsvoorstel naar aanleiding van de evaluatie Wet OM-afdoening en de Aanwijzing hoge transacties introduceren de compliancemonitor. Wij beschouwen de inzet van de compliancemonitor vanuit de strafdoelen vergelding, generale preventie, speciale preventie en resocialisatie. Dit artikel toont dat de inzet van de compliancemonitor gerechtvaardigd kan worden door de strafdoelen vergelding en resocialisatie, hoewel deze strafdoelen met elkaar op gespannen voet staan. Wij betogen dat de beste rechtvaardiging voor de inzet van de compliancemonitor ligt in diens bijdrage aan het strafdoel resocialisatie en bespreken daarbij enkele belangrijke vraagstukken die de wetgever nog moet adresseren om de compliancemonitor een succes te maken.

Advocatuurlijke roadtrip door het bijzonder strafrecht. De verdediging – what’s in a name?

Terugkijkend op de ontwikkelingen binnen het vakgebied van het bijzonder strafrecht in de afgelopen decennia komen interessante inzichten op over de onderwerpen die daarin aan de orde waren, de benadering van die onderwerpen binnen dat vakgebied, en de wijze waarop de advocatuur zich daar over de jaren opstelde en de verdediging opbouwde en voerde. Ik kwam uit op een oproep tot een herijking van de verdedigingsstrategie in dergelijke zaken, en het herinventariseren van de elementen die daarvan deel uitmaken en moeten uitmaken. Ik stond zo weer eens uitdrukkelijk stil bij de vraag: welke rol heeft de verdediging te vervullen? Zo gezegd, de verdediging: what’s eigenlijk in its name?

A avaliação da composição corporal, por bioimpedância elétrica, e do comportamento alimentar, pelo Questionário de Frequência Alimentar, é essencial para um tratamento eficaz. Este estudo avaliou os efeitos de um programa multidisciplinar na atenção secundária à saúde do Distrito Federal sobre a qualidade de vida, composição corporal e comportamento alimentar. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, analítico, quantitativo e qualitativo, retrospectivo e longitudinal, baseado na análise de prontuários de 35 pacientes acompanhados por até 18 meses. Foram coletados dados sobre composição corporal, qualidade de vida e frequência alimentar. Resultados e Discussão: Dos 52 pacientes iniciais, 35 completaram o estudo. Houve melhora quanto a redução do IMC de 41,13 para 39,78 kg/m², o percentual de gordura de 47,64% para 45,64% e a massa magra aumentou de 29,45% para 30,48%. A prática regular de exercícios foi mantida por 55,5% dos participantes, associada a maior perda ponderal (2,27%), sem significância estatística. O consumo diário de frutas aumentou de 68,5% para 81,4% e o de vegetais, de 74,2% para 88,8%, enquanto a ingestão de doces reduziu de 17,1% para 11,1%, apesar do aumento no consumo semanal para 48,1%. A qualidade de vida melhorou inicialmente, mas apresentou flutuações após 15 a 18 meses, especialmente na vitalidade. Conclusão: O tratamento multidisciplinar apresentou efeitos positivos na composição corporal, na qualidade de vida e no comportamento alimentar dos pacientes. No entanto, a manutenção dos hábitos saudáveis e da percepção positiva da qualidade de vida a longo prazo continua sendo um desafio. Esses achados reforçam a necessidade de estratégias individualizadas e suporte contínuo para garantir a adesão e o sucesso terapêutico no manejo da obesidade.

Artykuł jest odpowiedzią na problemy z zakwaterowaniem studentów studiujących na polskich uczelniach wyższych. Podejmuje tematykę związaną z przestrzenią wielofunkcyjną, jaką jest akademik. Przegląd literatury pomógł autorom zaznajomić się z wymaganiami młodego społeczeństwa odnośnie do domów studenckich. Młodzi ludzie potrzebują miejsca do nauki, zaspokajania podstawowych funkcji życiowych oraz nawiązywania interakcji niezogniskowanych ze środowiskiem studenckim. Celem artykułu jest poznanie oczekiwań młodego pokolenia odnośnie do domów studenckich, które będzie zgodne z ogólnie przyjętą zasadą równowagi pomiędzy pracą a odpoczynkiem. Dokonano analizy wybranych istniejących akademików oraz badań literaturowych na temat funkcjonowania domów studenta. Przeprowadzono badania społeczne wśród studentów Politechniki Opolskiej. Wyłoniono problemy, na które odpowiedzią stały się konkretne założenia projektowe (m.in. takie jak: potrzeba miejsc integracji, dostęp do sanitariatów oraz pokoje jednoosobowe jako gwarancja zachowania balansu między strefą wyciszenia a asymilacją z otoczeniem). Wnioski z badań stały się punktem wyjścia do stworzenia projektu akademika spełniającego potrzeby współczesnego studenta. Prezentowana w artykule koncepcja została opracowana jako praca dyplomowa inżynierska na kierunku architektura Wydziału Budownictwa i Architektury Politechniki Opolskiej.

Objetivo: Analisar o potencial terapêutico das células-tronco no tratamento de cães com displasia coxofemoral, bem como comparar com outras terapias tradicionais. A displasia coxofemoral é uma doença multifatorial, comum em cães de raças de médio e grande porte, caracterizada por incongruência articular entre o acetábulo e a cabeça femoral, resultando em instabilidade e osteoartrite progressiva. Fatores genéticos e ambientais, tais como o peso corporal, a dieta e a prática de exercícios físicos, têm um papel fundamental no avanço da doença, podendo afetar diretamente a gravidade dos sintomas clínicos. A avaliação clínica, juntamente com os exames radiográficos e a análise do líquido sinovial, são essenciais para um diagnóstico mais exato das alterações articulares. A terapia convencional envolve principalmente o uso de anti-inflamatórios, fisioterapia e suplementos alimentares. Em casos mais graves, pode ser necessária uma intervenção cirúrgica para recuperar a função articular. Porém, nas últimas décadas, a terapia com células-tronco vem ganhando destaque, apresentando-se como uma opção promissora no manejo da displasia coxofemoral, porém só foi regulamentada no Brasil em 2020. Esta estratégia promove a recuperação da cartilagem e a modulação da resposta inflamatória, levando à redução da dor e ao aumento da mobilidade dos animais. O tratamento tradicional, ainda, é essencial, pois a terapêutica com células-troncos tem uma exigência de padronização e um alto custo, o que limita a sua utilização em larga escala, mas é promissor o seu uso, embora um desafio bastante significativo.
APATHEIA AND TRANSGRESSION IN VISUAL ARTS: CULTURAL IMPLICATIONS
Authors: Vilchis Esquivel Luz del Carmen
Published: February 2025

The concept of transgression, referring to disobedience to the law, has gradually extended until including all types of deviation from correct or communally accepted behaviours; with time, it has expanded as any breaking of individual or collective limits, In fact, etymologically, to transgress means to “go beyond”, “pass”, although it should be established that its connotations have always been negative: illegal, prohibited, and licentious. (Julius, 2003) Within the implications of transgression there are four primordial senses: denial of truths conceived as doctrines; violation of beliefs, conditions, or censured or labelled situations such as taboos; offences against people, either against them physically, their property or their engagement, and exclusion of physical or conceptual limits; within the latter, there are anarchic conditions, not so much in the political sense as in the condition of disconcerting or incoherent attitudes. Paul Valéry, in his text on the principles of anarchy, speaks of the littleness that an individual can reach as he self-destroys as a person under the pressure of joining and binding to society’s needs, conventions and obligations, generating for himself effects of hypocrisy, stupidity, and rapine around the limited demonstrations of acceptance of thought and expression of sensitivity.
The means of memory. Heritage values of journalistic discourse. Alma Mater magazine case study (1922-1958)
Authors: Avila Guerra Yoandry
Published: February 2025

Media organizations constitute social spaces where the modern collective memory is built. This research delves into the study of the mediations and subjectivities that transversalize thejournalistic discourse of the periodical press, turning it into testimonies of the historical course of social groups and societies and, therefore, an element assigned to the framework of documentary heritage.

This research addresses the challenges elementary students face in developing algebraic thinking skills, particularly during the introduction of plane geometry topics such as squares and rectangles. Algebraic thinking, essential for identifying patterns, relationships, and generalizations, is often hindered by various learning obstacles. Using a qualitative approach with Didactical Design Research (DDR), data were collected through tests, interviews, and document studies. The research involved 30 second-grade students, with six selected for detailed unstructured interviews to confirm their responses. The findings highlight five major learning obstacles: (1) difficulty understanding word problems, (2) difficulty representing problems mathematically, (3) difficulty in measurement and calculations, (4) challenges in communicating solutions, and (5) inability to generalize solutions. These results emphasize the need for improved didactic designs that address learning obstacles and foster algebraic thinking. The study offers actionable insights for enhancing mathematics education in elementary schools.

Introduction: A historical analysis reveals the changing views on freedom and dignity and helps to understand the sources of international norms and their adaptation to the realities of different countries. Analysing the past helps avoid mistakes and improve the legal system to address contemporary challenges.Objective: This research aims to review the historical and contemporary processes of human rights formation and determine ways to improve their normative support.Methods: Various methods were used for the analysis: the historical method – for studying the development of human rights; the comparative method – for comparing national legal systems; the empirical method – for analysing practices of rights protection; the documentary method – for studying international and national legal acts; the systematic method – for reviewing rights as a complex system; and generalisation – for making proposals regarding the improvement of the normative framework in the future.Results: It was established that the evolution of the formation of normative support for human rights is divided into two historical periods: origin and development. It was outlined that the evolution of human rights illustrates their transition from privileges of specific groups to universal rights, and normative support, particularly international standards, is critical to their protection on a global level. The peculiarities of adapting national systems to international human rights standards in specific regions and countries were highlighted. The main aspects of human rights' role in forming a just society were determined.Conclusions: The research results outlined critical directions for forming human rights in modern globalisation processes to improve normative support.
