Authors: Nayernia K , Adham I , Kremling H , Reim K , Schlicker M , Schluter G , Engel W
Published: February 2025

Spermatogenesis is a complex developmental process which involves amplification of germinal stem cells, their differentiation into spermatocytes, meiotic division and finally transformation into mature spermatozoa. Therefore, spermatogenesis provides an interesting system for examining the regulation of gene expression during development and differentiation. The genes expressed during spermatogenesis can be divided into two main groups: diploid and haploid expressed genes. In this review, we report about the regulation of expression of a diploid expressed gene, namely the proacrosin gene, and that of a haploid expressed gene, the transition protein 2 gene.
Ações de solidariedade em busca da justiça social e soberania alimentar: o papel do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) no Brasil (2020-2022)
Authors: Moura Joana Tereza Vaz de , Lima Wuelliton Felipe Peres
Published: February 2025

Em contextos de crises, os movimentos socioterritoriais atuam em processos colaborativos buscando minimizar os efeitos para as populações mais vulneráveis. No Brasil, no contexto da crise sanitária e política (2020-2022), o Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), em conjunto com outras organizações e instituições, atuou em diversas ações de solidariedade, especialmente nas doações de alimentos saudáveis para essas populações, sobretudo em territórios indígenas, quilombolas e das periferias urbanas. O artigo tem como objetivo compreender essa atuação, focando nas estratégias utilizadas pelo MST para colocar em pauta a questão da fome em sua agenda, criar territórios de sustentabilidade e pressionar o Estado. Utilizamos o banco de dados construído pela Rede Brasileira de Pesquisadores das Lutas por Espaços e Territórios (REDE DATALUTA), com notícias veiculadas sobre as ações dos movimentos, além de entrevistas com as principais lideranças nacionais do MST. Mostramos que o movimento atuou em todas as regiões do país, com centralidade para as regiões Nordeste e Sul, trazendo à tona o retorno da pobreza e a injustiça sofridas por essas populações. Apontamos também que essas ações não se configuram somente como doações, mas têm caráter político de formação e fortalecimento associativo, no sentido de aproximar a militância das comunidades em busca da justiça social.

Cadmium (Cd) heavy metal pollution not only affects aquatic ecosystems but also has toxic effects on human health. Bioremediation using microalgae Nannochloropsis sp. is considered more economical and sustainable for overcoming heavy metal pollution. This study aims to molecular characterization of Nannochloropsis sp. with tufA gene markers, determine the effect of different Cd concentrations on the growth and morphology of Nannochloropsis sp. and the ability of Nannochloropsis sp. to absorb Cd concentrations. The methods used include DNA isolation, quantitative and qualitative DNA analysis, amplification of tufA gene, sequencing result analysis, phylogenetic tree analysis, and bioremediation test. The results of molecular characterization showed that Nannochloropsis sp. has similarities with N. oceanica strain BR2 plastid (CP044614.1) with 60% bootstrap value. Nannochloropsis sp. grew at different Cd concentration (0, 2, 4, and 6 ppm) but optimal at 0 ppm Cd concentration. Morphology of Nannochloropsis sp. showed morphological differences in the cell structure. The cell was broken and the color turned increasingly clear. Different concentrations of Cd metal on Nannochloropsis sp. growth significantly affected the decline in Nannochloropsis sp. growth. Nannochloropsis sp. has the potential to absorb heavy metal Cd with an efficiency that increases as the concentration reaching 62.6% at 6 ppm. It can be concluded that molecular characterization using the tufA marker was effective in showing that Nannochloropsis sp. had closed relation with N. oceanica strain BR2 plastids. Cadmium (Cd) exposure significantly reduced growth and caused cell damage, while Nannochloropsis sp. effectively adsorbed Cd and lowering Cd levels by 3.76 ppm.

Morphometric Analysis of a Population of Diplopods of the Genus Rhinocricus Karsch, 1881
Authors: Calligaris Izabela Braggiăo , Boccardo L. , Sanches M. R. , Fontanetti C. S.
Published: February 2025

Diplopods belonging to the subclass Helminthomorpha may present one or both leg pairs of the seventh diplosegment modified into structures that aid copulation, called gonopods. These structures are used as a taxonomic trait for the description of most species. In the genus Rhinocricus these structures are closely similar, so that it is difficult to distinguish species only on the basis of this trait. Two species, R. padbergi and R. varians, are found in the same habitat and present gonopods practically identical in shape; together they present a broad colour gradient, ranging from dark brown to light beige. Morphometric data for individuals of the experimental group were submitted to ANOVA and MANOVA, using Hotelling-Lawley Trace and generalized Mahalanobis distances (D2) tests. The results demonstrated a relationship between size and colour, with darker individuals being larger. On the basis of this preliminary analysis, we may suggest that the two species are distinct since dark individuals are distant from medium- and light-coloured individuals according to the D2 values. This seems to indicate a possible polymorphism of individuals belonging to R. padbergi which present close proximity in the values obtained. In all analyses, we observed that the main variables were diameter, length and telson size.
Prognostic value of serum zinc concentration determination in young children during the course of infectious diarrhea
Authors: Pechuhina V. V. , Usachova O. V.
Published: February 2025

Aim. To develop a model for predicting the course of infectious diarrhea (ID) in young children based on the determination of serum zinc (Zn) concentration influence on the clinical scores of these patients.
Materials and methods. The study included 99 children aged between 1 and 36 months who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of acute intestinal infection within the first three days of the disease onset. Serum Zn levels were determined by the colorimetric method. Non-parametric statistical methods were used to process the obtained data, since the distribution of indicators did not correspond to the normal one. A correlation analysis with the Spearman correlation coefficient (r) calculation was used to determine the influence of serum Zn concentrations on the ID course. A regression analysis then followed selecting the preferred version of the regression equation in each particular case, ranked according to the value of the determination coefficient R2.
Results. A decrease in serum Zn concentrations was found in 22 (22.22 %) children of the examined group. Low serum Zn concentrations on the 1st and 3rd days of treatment were associated with a higher frequency of loose stools on the 7th day of hospitalization (r = -0.68 and r = -0.51, respectively; p < 0.05). We have constructed a pairwise linear regression model according to which the duration of diarrhea in patients with ID can be determined if the serum Zn level on the 1st hospitalization day is known. The relationship found can be estimated by the paired linear regression equation: y = 0.5638x + 10.348, where y – is the duration of diarrhea (days), x – is the serum Zn concentration (μmol/l) on the 1st hospitalization day. The model determination coefficient R2 = 0.5 (p ˂ 0.001) was considered statistically significant. From this equation it follows that diarrhea lasts more than 5 days with a serum Zn concentration below 9.8 μmol/l.
Conclusions. Every fifth child was diagnosed with serum Zn deficiency. Decreased serum Zn concentrations below reference values on the 1st day of treatment affected the diarrheal syndrome duration being associated with its period of more than 5 days. To predict the duration of diarrheal syndrome in young children, the formula y = 0.5638х + 10.348, where y is the duration of diarrhea (days), x is the serum Zn concentration on the 1st day of hospitalization (μmol/l), should be used.

Language and Cultural Contact in Casablanca: Exploring South Korea’s Influence on Moroccan Society
Authors: Mellouk Fatima
Published: February 2025

Morocco has been home to many foreign cultures for decades. Language contact involves the mutual influence of languages between interacting individuals. East Asian people, among the many foreigners in Morocco, have contributed to various practices that attract young people. South Korean culture, in particular, is becoming increasingly popular due to the global reach of its entertainment sector. Consequently, a significant number of young Moroccans are influenced by Korean pop culture, which is evident in their behaviors. They watch Korean TV shows, listen to Korean music, dress in Korean fashion, and adopt Korean expressions and gestures. These influences contribute to a new, blended culture that isn’t entirely Moroccan or Korean. Despite limited academic research on this topic, understanding these cultural exchanges is crucial. This article will focus on Casablanca, with research conducted through questionnaires and interviews distributed online and in person, targeting individuals exposed to Korean culture.

Published: February 2025

Magnesium, titanium, and their alloys are considered very promising in bio-materials. However, their poor antimicrobial and corrosion resistance in physiological environments dramatically limits their application in practical situations. Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technology has attracted much attention due to its low cost and convenient operation. Based on this, this paper summarizes and rationalizes key findings from the last 15 years of the current research status of MAO surface technology of magnesium and titanium alloys in the biomedical field. It analyzes the research work of doping functional elements into micro-arc oxidized ceramic membranes, preparing composite coatings by deposition and sol-gel technology, and changing the time of MAO, electrolyte, and electrical parameters to improve the antimicrobial and corrosion–resistant performance of the membrane layer. Moreover, this paper reveals the characteristics and principles of antimicrobial and corrosion resistance of MAO ceramic layers and expands the application of MAO magnesium and titanium alloys in bio-medicine. Finally, this paper summarizes the problems and shortcomings of the MAO technology that still need to be solved. It also looks forward to future research on the direction of MAO technology, which provides a theoretical basis for further application bio-medicine.

Published: February 2025

This study carried out the simulation and optimization of a Venturi tube with the aim of producing more micro-nanobubbles (MNBs) and preventing their aggregation to increase mass transfer. In the first step, fluid flow in a steady state in a simple Venturi tube was simulated. In the next step, a tube will be added to the throat. The test design will investigate and optimize the effects of three geometrical parameters: length, diameter, and rotation angle of the tube on two responses pressure and velocity in the throat. Also, from the design of the experiment, it was found that the angle of rotation and the diameter of the tube, compared to the length of the tube, have a greater effect on increasing the velocity and reducing the pressure in the throat, and their values ​​were 90°, 1.5 mm, and 5 mm, respectively. From the simulation of the Venturi tube in the second state with the optimal values ​​obtained, a 51 % reduction in the cavitation number was achieved, which has an inverse ratio with the cavitation intensity. In general, with the increase in cavitation intensity, the production of MNBs increases, and their accumulation is minimized.

Published: February 2025

With the arrival of the information digitalization era, the dissemination of culture breaks the limitations of time and space, ushering in new opportunities. With China’s emphasis on the digital preservation of intangible culture heritage (ICH), the use of mobile phone applications to disseminate ICH has become more relevant. Mobile phone application appeals to young users with its convenient and personalised customized operation. It combines technology with cultural heritage and has advantages over traditional media in terms of recording and dissemination. Inheritors are an important part of China’s ICH protection and the core of the survival of folk crafts, of which the younger generation is an important force. This article provides an example of qualitative research on the use of apps for ICH learning in a university classroom. The use of apps as a tool for self-learning of ICH by the younger generation was used to raise their awareness of local cultural heritage and sustainable development issues, and to motivate teachers and students to preserve and disseminate local culture. The results of the study suggest that mobile phone applications are useful and effective self-learning tools for the younger generation to acquire knowledge and understanding of local ICH.
Does the Teaching Strategy Affect Understanding the Concept of the Balance of Nature?
Authors: Bulić Mila , Jelaska Igor , Blažević Ines
Published: February 2025

Understanding and sharing knowledge about the balance of nature in living communities is essential for the survival of humanity. In the research, we wanted to examine whether teaching strategy affects the conceptual understanding of the balance of nature among fourth graders. In doing so, fourth-grade elementary school students were randomized in three groups where the same teacher taught the first group about the balance of nature relying on presentation alone, the second group watched a video along and listened to the teacher’s presentation without additional explanations, while the third group had a guided video viewing accompanied with explanations. Students’ knowledge was tested before and after the education. Using a two-way factorial ANOVA, no significant differences between groups were identified in knowledge on living communities, whilst education appeared to be effective for both. This indicates that collaborative learning and active cooperation of students are important and help students gain the required conceptual understanding of certain contents without ICT support.

Published: February 2025

The transformation of higher education in Indonesia presents challenges and opportunities for universities to develop adaptive learning ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the Semester Learning Plans (RPS) of Basic Chemistry courses to evaluate their alignment with digital-era learning needs. Using a qualitative approach, the research involves document analysis of 19 RPS, focusing on learning methods and the integration of digital technology. Data were validated through questionnaires distributed to lecturers in charge of these courses. Results reveal that active learning methods, such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL), dominate, yet the integration of innovative technologies like virtual laboratories and software-based simulations remains limited. The study highlights the importance of adaptive learning strategies, digital literacy, and culturally responsive teaching to support global demands. New findings emphasize the need for systematic lecturer training and institutional support to enhance technological adoption in teaching. This research contributes to the development of more effective and inclusive learning environments, benefitting both science education and society.

АННОТАЦИЯ: Экспериментально исследовано формирование соединений фольг тугоплавких металлов (Ti, Hf, Ta, Ni) с керамическими слоями, образующимися в результате горения реакционных лент, прокатанных из порошковых смесей (Ti + 0.65C, Ti + 1,.B и 5Ti + 3Si). Микроструктура, элементный и фазовый составы многослойных композитов, полученных методом самораспространяющегося высокотемпературного синтеза (СВС), изучены методами растровой электронной микроскопии (СЭМ) и рентгеноструктурного анализа. Выявлено влияние условий синтеза (начальной температуры, приложенного давления) и исходной структуры образцов на скорость распространения фронта волны горения, микроструктуру, фазовый состав и прочностные характеристики полученных слоистых материалов. Показано, что соединения в режиме горения между металлическими фольгами и реакционными лентами, прокатанными из порошковых смесей, обеспечиваются за счет реакционной диффузии, взаимной пропитки и химических реакций, протекающих в реакционных лентах и на поверхности металлических фольг. Прочностные характеристики полученных материалов (до 275 МПа при 25 °С, до 72 МПа при 1 100 °С) определены по схеме трехточечного нагружения. Результаты представляют интерес для разработки конструкционных материалов, работающих в экстремальных условиях.

The formation of compounds of refractory metal foils (Ti, Hf, Ta, Ni) with ceramic layers formed as a result of combustion of reaction tapes rolled from powder mixtures (Ti + 0.65C, Ti + 1.7B and 5Ti + 3Si) was experimentally studied. The microstructure, elemental and phase compositions of multilayer composites obtained by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis were studied using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The influence of synthesis conditions (initial temperature, applied pressure) and the initial structure of the samples on the speed of propagation of the combustion wave front, microstructure, phase composition and strength characteristics of the resulting layered materials was revealed. It has been shown that connections in the combustion mode between metal foils and reaction tapes rolled from powder mixtures are ensured due to reaction diffusion, mutual impregnation and chemical reactions occurring in the reaction tapes and on the surface of metal foils. The strength characteristics of the resulting materials (up to 275 MPa at 25 °C, up to 72 MPa at 1100 °C) were determined using a three-point loading scheme. The results are of interest for the development of structural materials operating under extreme conditions.

The Marxist Approach to Nature: The Case of Wolves in the Soviet Union
Authors: Jefanovas Aivaras , Davidavičius Mantas-Antanas
Published: February 2025

This article analyzes the orthodox Marxist theory of nature as a philosophy of nature, based primarily on the later works of Karl Marx and the works of Friedrich Engels, as well as its role as a Soviet State ideology of mastering nature. We argue that Soviet Marxists viewed nature as a product of human labor. Labor, in turn, was considered a continuation of the natural order and the fulfillment of nature’s full potential. At the same time, labor led to a “struggle with nature”. This motif of battle against nature appears almost universally throughout Soviet ideological texts. To analyze how the ideological interpretation of nature by Soviet Marxists was implemented in practice, we examine the wolf extermination campaigns carried out in the Soviet Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of Yakutia and the Soviet Socialist Republic of Lithuania and consider them as part of the Soviet Marxists’ ideological approach to the transformation, control, and subjugation of nature.

Letters of Peter Torchakov from the Second Half of the 17th Century: Themes and Graphic Features
Authors: Ryko Anastasiia
Published: February 2025

The article focuses on the analysis of the private letters of Peter Torchakov, the son of a mid-17th-century merchant from Ivangorod. The set of Peter Torchakov’s letters is part of the unpublished archive of Parthenius Torchakov, stored in the National Archives of Estonia, and consists of 16 letters written between 1661 and 1667. Special attention is paid to two aspects: the thematic content of the letters and their graphic features. The letters not only intertwine business and personal matters, which is typical of correspondence during that period, but also partially reflect political events. In addition, these “gramotki” demonstrate graphic diversity. The analysis of the graphic variations of certain letters and the use of graphically paired letters makes it possible to divide the entire corpus of letters into two parts and associate these graphic systems with the thematic content of the letters. The presence of different graphic subsystems in texts written by the same author suggests that the choice of writing style was a conscious decision reflecting the content of the text. This conclusion finds parallels in book writings, where the dependence of handwriting on the function of the text was also observed.
Pagrindiniai mėlynos spalvos pavadinimai lenkų ir lietuvių kalbose: prototipai ir konotacijos
Authors: Ušinskienė Viktorija
Published: February 2025

The article presents the results of the contrastive semantic analysis of the main Polish and Lithuanian blueness names. The aim is to compare the collocability of color names with names of various objects and phenomena including the identification of the prototype references and connotative meanings. The research shows that the categorization of the blue spectrum is more complicated in the 
Polish language: in the Lithuanian language, blueness corresponds to two main names – mėlynas and žydras, while in Polish, in addition to the two basic terms niebieski ‘blue’ and błękitny ‘light blue’, the special name granatowy ‘very dark blue (almost black)’ and poetic modry ʻintense blue’ are widely used. The last two words have no direct equivalents in the Lithuanian language. The difference in lin- guistic categorization creates certain difficulties in translating assigned contexts from Polish to Lithu- anian. In terms of synchronicity, the semantic prototype of the main Polish (niebieski / błękitny) and Lithuanian (mėlynas / žydras) terms can be considered sky, although etymologically, such a nominative model characterizes only the Polish niebieski < niebo ʻsky’. According to the primary semantics, the Polish term corresponds to the Lithuanian dangiškas < dangus ‘sky’, but it does not belong to the main names of this color. The prototype of the Polish side name siny is not a natural phenomenon, but an area of the human body that has turned blue due to cold, anger or a beating. In the Lithuanian language, in this case, the semantically close forms of the participles pamėlęs, pamėlynavęs or the main term mėlynas are used. The connotative meanings of the main names of blueness, such as ʻdistant, endless’, ‘being in heaven’, ‘divine, excellent’ have been identified for both languages. The latter meanings are characteristic of one of the main Polish terms – niebieski, and in the Lithuanian language it corresponds to the secondary, less frequently used name for blueness – dangiškas. The connotation ‘homosexual’ (žydras) occurs only in the Lithuanian language.

Досліджено відкритість міста як феномен, що належить до складних явищ і проявляється в складній формі впливу діалектично взаємодіючих різноспрямованих глобальних і місцевих процесів; дуалізмі в системі соціально-економічних відносин агентів розвитку міста; причинно-наслідковому зв’язку з процесами глобальної інтеграції, інноватизації, інформатизації і соціалізації. Окреслено економіко-управлінський і правовий інструментарій забезпечення відкритості міста.
Зазначено, що правові інструменти є відправною точкою і драйвером для забезпечення відкритості міста, оскільки формують основу для забезпечення підзвітності в управлінні містом, відкритості й прозорості фіскальних процесів і адміністративних процедур. Доведено, що комплексне використання економіко-управлінського і правового інструментарію забезпечення відкритості й прозорості міста дозволяє запустити ланцюг змін технологічного, управлінського і суспільного характеру. Окреслено ключові проблеми економіко-правового забезпечення відкритості міста з точки зору об’єктно-суб’єктного складу міських відносин.

Для числового моделювання обрано дві моделі – важкого та легкого (за масою)автомобілів.
THERMOELASTIC PROBLEM FOR A SPACE WITH TWO INCLUSIONS AND HEAT GENERATION
Authors: Ніколаєв О. Г. , Скіцка М. В.
Published: February 2025

A three-phase stationary axisymmetric thermoelastic system consisting of a matrix and two spherical inclusions with different thermomechanical characteristics is considered. Inclusions are sources of thermal energy, the densities of which are described by harmonic functions. Through the further development of the generalized Fourier method, the problem is reduced to a resolving system that allows a correct and efficient high-precision numerical solution. The analysis of the thermal stress state of the matrix in the vicinity of inclusions and inclusions in their middle for specific phase materials depending on the geometric parameters of the system is given.
The Spiritual Value of Tasmanian Wilderness
Authors: Hoo Misha
Published: February 2025

As the influence of organised religion declines in Western nations, research into spirituality and the emerging field of nonreligion can illuminate how individuals construct meaning in largely secular societies. A survey of 1101 Australian hikers finds that 76% of all participants and 72% of nonreligious participants agree or strongly agree that the Tasmanian wilderness has spiritual value. Qualitative analysis of 800 textual responses to the survey examines how hikers find spiritual value in natural environments more broadly. This research employs a ‘meaning systems’ approach to investigate how nature immersion fulfils many of the existential functions traditionally associated with religion. Australian hikers find spiritual value in nature through subjective wellbeing and orientation in a meaningful cosmos where nature is articulated as a powerful ‘other’. Although spiritual experiences in wilderness environments are often described as transcendent, hikers in this study report a sense of grounding, place, and belonging.
La noción de «deseo» en san Agustín, repensada por Edith Stein en su obra «Ser finito y Ser eterno. Intento de un ascenso al sentido del ser»
Authors: Meis Anneliese
Published: February 2025

El estudio aborda la noción de “deseo” —sintetizada por san Agustín en Confesiones 1,1—, no en sí, sino en cuanto repensada por Edith Stein, pensadora potente y conocedora profunda del pensamiento agustiniano. Si bien ella cita con frecuencia a san Agustín en su obra Endliches und ewiges Sein, no aborda, directamente, la noción de “deseo “del obispo de Hipona. Sin embargo, sus análisis avalan la base agustiniana de este fenómeno humano y la relevancia actual indiscutible de san Agustín.

Published: February 2025

O estudo começa reconhecendo o valor de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar das Ciências Sociais e Humanas na Saúde, tanto no estabelecimento de pesquisas na área quanto na contribuição para o entendimento dos processos saúde-doença-cuidado. A hipótese sugere que o evento emerge como um elemento importante para a pesquisa nesse contexto, pois proporciona um potente recurso para a construção do conhecimento que valoriza e considera a dimensão relacional das experiências subjetivas, as quais são centrais nos objetos de estudo desse campo. Este ensaio teórico adota a noção de evento conforme interpretada pela obra de Jacques Derrida e outros autores que expandem e aprofundam esse conceito. Com essa premissa, busca-se relacionar essa noção ao percurso de pesquisa (método) que conecta a saúde às ciências sociais e humanas, com foco em três tópicos simultâneos ou complementares: Compostos Investigativos, Turbulência na Produção do Conhecimento e Gestos Performativos.

Taxation serves as a crucial financial foundation for economic and social development, yet inefficient systems can impede compliance and efficiency. In Ethiopia, the introduction of an e-tax system marks a transformative effort to digitize tax administration, allowing taxpayers to electronically file forms and make payments. This study aims to explore the dynamics of the e-tax system by examining its practices, challenges, and opportunities through the experiences of Ethiopian taxpayers. Utilizing a descriptive research design, we employed random sampling techniques to select the respondents. The study sample consisted of 269 taxpayers who pay their taxes in Hawassa revenue office which provides a comprehensive snapshot of taxpayer perceptions and behaviors. The results indicate a significant uptake of the e-tax system since its implementation in 2021, with many taxpayers recognizing its benefits, including reduced paperwork, lower transportation costs, minimized calculation errors, and shorter wait times. However, a notable portion of the taxpayer population remains disengaged, highlighting persistent barriers to adoption. Key challenges identified include inadequate internet connectivity, frequent power outages, server congestion, and language discrepancies, which undermine the system’s effectiveness. The discussion emphasizes the need for strategic improvements, advocating for enhanced collaboration among stakeholders and targeted investments in digital infrastructure and taxpayer education. By addressing these issues, Ethiopia can optimize the e-tax system, fostering greater compliance and enhancing the efficiency of tax administration. This study not only sheds light on the current landscape of taxpayer experiences but also offers actionable recommendations for policymakers aimed at refining and expanding the e-tax framework. By analysing taxpayer feedback and identifying specific pain points within the system, the study provides insights that can inform strategic interventions. For instance, enhancing digital infrastructure and addressing connectivity issues will be crucial in facilitating seamless access to the e-tax platform.

This study set out to investigate the impact of Effective Tax Rate on Financial Leverage with a moderating role of Institutional Investor in emerging economy, like Pakistan. Using Modigliani and Miller theory or Trade-Off theory, this study highlights the importance of Financial Leverage with respect to Effective Tax Rate and Institutional Investor in the context of Pakistan, where information asymmetry and concentrated ownership patterns are prevalent. To investigate this, we have used secondary data from the financial statements of the top 50 non-financial listed firms on the Karachi Stock Exchange -100 index for the period 2016 to 2022. Using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), the findings suggest that Financial Leverage is positively related to Effective Tax Rate. Our findings indicate that higher tax rates encourage firms to use more debt in their capital structure to maximize tax benefits because interest paid on debt is tax deductible. Interestingly, our findings further reveal that Institutional Investor negatively moderates this relationship. This suggests that institutional investors could enhance firm monitoring by encouraging firms to use lower levels of debt, thereby reducing the costs associated with financial distress. This study provides practical implications for corporate managers, policymakers, and institutional investors. Corporate managers can make more informed financial decisions about the appropriate level of debt in their capital structure, particularly in achieving the optimal balance between debt and equity. Policymakers can develop policies that promote long-term growth and financial stability by considering the influence of institutional investors, while investors can enhance their investment strategies in developing economies.
