Authors: Ó hÓgartaigh Ciarán , Ó hÓgartaigh Margaret
Published: April 2022

The compilation of a database of accounting and corporate governance archives in the National Archives of Ireland (NAI) and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) - the first of its kind in the Irish accounting field - offers a significant resource both for the further development and intemationalisaiion of Irish accounting history and for an enhanced and mutually beneficial interface between history and accounting. The authors report on the project, highlighting the importance of evidence and the archive in historical research and briefly outlining the development of the NAI and the PRONI and their status as depositories of historical records in Ireland. The engagement of Irish historians with the accounting and business fields and the work-to-date in accounting history in Ireland is explored. The paper concludes by setting the current research in a methodological context, arguing that archives are not an end in themselves but a means to a greater understanding and interpretation of the past.
Membership of FTSE 100 Index: An Exploration of the Information Cost and Liquidity Hypothesis
Authors: Ryan Paul
Published: April 2022

Prior research suggests that a firm’s inclusion in an index generates a favourable market reaction. A number of hypotheses are advanced to explain this phenomenon. This paper explores one of these hypotheses, the information cost and liquidity hypothesis, using the FTSE 100 as the benchmark index. We employ two measures of the richness of a firm’s information environment and report evidence consistent with the information cost and liquidity hypothesis. The results have implications for researchers conducting studies conditioning proxies for information availability in measuring the price and/or trading volume response to firm specific events such as the release of the preliminary results.

Published: April 2022

Bu çalışma, lojistik öğrencilerinin mezun olduklarında sahip olması gereken yetkinliklerle ilgili lojistik işverenlerinin öğrencilerden dolayısıyla üniversitelerden beklentilerini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır.

Türkiye’de birçok üniversitede lojistik ile ilgili bölümler vardır. Ancak işverenlerin istediği nitelikli personel bulamadıkları sıklıkla dile getirilmektedir. Bunun temel nedenleri arasında işverenlerin, öğrencilerin işte başarılı olmak için gerekli becerilere sahip olmadığını düşünmeleridir. Bu nedenle araştırmada işverenlerin mezun öğrencilerden beklentilerini öğrenme, sanayi ve okul arasında daha yakın işbirliği sağlama ve üniversitelerinde işverenlerin isteklerini doğrudan öğrenmelerine katkı sağlayacağı düşüncesi bu araştırmanın önemini ortaya koymaktadır.

Bu çalışmanın metodolojisi, lojistik sektöründe daha önce en az bir işletmede mesleki eğitim alan öğrencinin sorumluluğunu almış çeşitli düzeylerde lojistik çalışanlardan elde edilen anketin analiz edilmesine dayanmaktadır. Buna ilişkin veriler bir üniversitenin lojistik yönetimi bölümü tarafından uygulanan işletmede mesleki eğitim programına katılan öğrencilerin işletmede mesleki eğitim yaptığı bölümlerdeki sorumlu kişilere anket gönderilmesi suretiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Bunun için öncelikle literatür taraması yapılarak mezunlardan işverenlerin beklentilerine yönelik bir anket oluşturulmuştur. Bu anket daha sonra yanında en az bir işletmede mesleki eğitim, stajer öğrencinin sorumluluğunu almış çeşitli düzeylerdeki lojistik çalışanlarından oluşan örnekleme elektronik ortamda gönderilmiştir. Anketin analiz edilmesi sonucunda lojistik yönetimi bölümü yetkililerinin işverenlerin beklentilerini doğrudan öğrenme, bölümlerin rekabet gücünü artırmak ve yöneticilerin öğrencilerin eğitim hayatı boyunca hangi alanlarda yoğunlaşmaları gerektiği konusunda rehberlik yapmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada genel amaç olarak da işletmede mesleki eğitim uygulamasının nasıl olması gerektiğine dikkat çekilmiştir.

Authors: Edinoff Amber N. , Doppalapudi Prithvi , Fort Juliana M.
Published: April 2022

A 44-year-old male with no known past medical history but a known history of daily synthetic marijuana use presented to the emergency department after two witnessed seizures. The patient was admitted to the neurology service, where he was worked up with an MRI with epilepsy protocol and an EEG. During admission, the patient was admitted to daily synthetic marijuana use. He did note that he had started to decrease the amount of mojo he used daily in an attempt to stop. His last use was at 9 am the day of his admission. He was trying to decrease his use; his girlfriend of difficulty word-finding noted periods. Synthetic marijuana (SM) or “mojo” use has been increasing in the past decade for two reasons; It is considered an herbal product and has been legal. A withdrawal syndrome of SM use has been characterized chiefly as tachycardia, irritation, anxiety, and mood swings. These withdrawal symptoms are usually seen with chronic use. Some early results in the literature also show that SM use can lead to functional and structural neuronal changes. This manuscript discusses a case of a first on-set seizure as a possible withdrawal symptom in chronic SM use.

Authors: Yun Wu Yun Wu , Yun Wu Dan-Nan Zhang , Dan-Nan Zhang Jie-Ming Yang , Jie-Ming Yang Zhen-Hong Liu
Published: April 2022

Focusing on the accuracy of short-term photovoltaic power prediction, this paper proposes a VMD-SE-TCAN short-term photovoltaic prediction model. First, the Sample Entropy (SE) is used to fuse the different frequency components generated by the Variational Modal Decomposition (VMD) to reduce  the complexity of prediction model and effectively alleviate the under-decomposition or over-decomposition of traditional decomposition algorithm; then the TCAN model based on Temporal Convolution Neural network (TCN) and Attention Mechanism is used to predict each component, the TCN is used to capture temporal dependencies in prediction, and the Attention Mechanism improves the impact of key weather features on different components; finally, the prediction results of each component are superimposed to output photovoltaic prediction power. Through experiments and comparison verification, the combined prediction method effectively improves the accuracy of photovoltaic power prediction, and can better guarantee the reliable operation of the power system.

 
“Heavy Is the Head”: Election, Grace, and Humility in the Climax of the Jacob-Esau Cycle (Genesis 32–33)
Authors: Balfour Rory J.
Published: April 2022

In much of the fine recent work on election in the Old Testament relatively little attention has been given to how the Old Testament’s depictions of election fit with classic Christian theological understandings. In examining the relationship between Jacob and Esau, so prominent in classic articulations of election, the present discussion investigates the interplay between election, grace, and humility in Genesis 32–33. Humility is fostered in Jacob through his vulnerability before Esau. Yet Esau’s behavior serves as a prism through which Jacob can see his own status before YHWH with greater clarity. Humility is fostered not through a depiction of Esau’s misery, but through Esau’s display of magnanimity. Esau’s role in Jacob’s narrative is enriched and questions are posed over how classic Augustinian accounts of election, grace, and humility might be complexified in light of Genesis 32–33.
“Christ Who is Our Peace”: Ephesians 2 and a Theological Ontology of Place
Authors: Platter Jonathan M. , Lett Jacob
Published: April 2022

Chapter 2 of the Epistle to the Ephesians is teeming with allusions to place. In this paper, we offer a reading of the chapter that gestures toward a theological ontology of place. We argue that the Christian imagination of place and its boundaries is characterized by incorporation into the wounded, self-giving body of Christ. By analyzing the ways place shows up throughout the chapter, we develop elements of an ontology of place that takes account of the complex interweaving of the gentiles’ change of place from outside to inside Israel, the church’s place of participation in Christ’s body, the church’s new standing in relation to other sociopolitical and spiritual realities, and the radical claim that Christ himself is the place of the church.

Authors: Sundar P. V. Praveen , Maybell P. Sheeba , Kethsial S. Ruth , Kumar G Vinod
Published: April 2022

In general, some static analysis of the predictable flow of the compressible and caisson fluid of some infinite vertical plates is determined by taking into account its varying mass or constant fluid flow and the uniform increase of the partition temperature. Differential equations can be predicted using different components of the Laplace transformation technique. Usually, two different solutions are available when the fluid flows in a particular direction. In this paper, an improved method for calculating the velocity of different fluids is proposed. Its possibilities are designed to calculate the different types of events that take place near the high temperature plates of the liquid. The results are compared with the flow along the plates at a near constant temperature.

Published: April 2022

This paper examines the relationship between mobile internet, employment and structural transformation in Rwanda. Thanks to its ability to enable access to a wide range of ICT technologies, internet coverage has the potential to affect the dynamics and the composition of employment significantly. To demonstrate this, we have combined GSMA network coverage maps with individual-level information from national population censuses and labour force surveys, creating a district-level dataset of Rwanda that covers the period 2002 to 2019. Our results show that an increase in mobile internet coverage affects the labour market in two ways. First, by increasing employment opportunities. Second, by contributing to changes in the composition of the labour market. Education, migration and shifts in demand are all instrumental in explaining our findings.

THE CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF THE EMOTIVE-EVALUATIVE LEXIS
Authors: Mustafina G. K.
Published: April 2022

This article represents the analysis of definitions of such linguistic notion as the emotive-evaluative lexis, produced and studied by many authors, both domestic and foreign. Some researchers consider it to be an independent type of language that creates bonds between people and has a power to affect those bonds and the attitudes of participants of the communication. Others believe that the emotive-evaluative lexis is a part of the language that is represented by stylistically marked words and expressions with a connotative and denotative meaning. This article also studies the term of connotation and its relation to the emotive-evaluative lexis, which is expressed in evaluation and emotiveness being essential components of the connotation. There are also classifications of emotive-evaluative lexis, depending on the coloring of the connotation and the way of interpreting the estimation of the words. The present article has a scientific potential justified by the importance of future studies on the ways and methods of teaching the emotive-evaluative lexis and the necessity to implement a methodological basis for the successful learning of this type of vocabulary by university students.
RESURGENCE OF RUSSIA AS A GREAT POWER AND ITS FOREIGN POLICY ORIENTATION TOWARDS SOUTH ASIA
Authors: Shah Syed Taimoor , Afgun Ayesha
Published: April 2022

Russia has re-emerged as an important global actor after the advent of the post-Soviet era. Kremlin’s repositioning in the global affairs under President Vladimir Putin has led to a geopolitical and geostrategic transformation of its foreign policy. It follows multilateralism with active outreach in different parts of the world. In contemporary Russian foreign policy, there are tangible determinants that call for multipolar world order including realignment of foreign relations and consolidation of great power status. This paper, therefore, examines Russian foreign policy in the post-Crimean annexation era, where Moscow launched various campaigns through active engagements with the world’s larger economies and strategically important countries, such as China, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. The paper also highlights Russia’s evolving bilateral relations with these countries, especially in economic, political, and military spheres. Following the current global geopolitical realities, it also attempts to mark clear adjustments in Moscow’s foreign policy with respect to its power, responsibility, and ambitions for international peace and stability.

ONLINE AND OFFLINE MANIFESTATION OF HINDUTVA IDEOLOGY IN INDIA DURING THE COVID-19 SPREAD
Authors: Nabeel Fahad , Raashed Maryam
Published: April 2022

Towards the end of January 2020, COVID-19 made its headway into India. The irresponsible behaviour of the Modi government in containing the spread of Coronavirus forced it to opt for an ill-planned and hastily imposed lockdown. Meanwhile, the poor health infrastructure of the country collapsed. This outbreak also tested the socio-cultural robustness and religious tolerance in India. Pro-Hindutva media outlets and Hindu nationalists employed hate speech to securitize this outbreak as a Muslims-led controversy against India. Furthermore, pseudoscience-based remedies were portrayed as a potential cure for COVID-19. The online disinformation ecosystem of Hindutva extremist groups against minorities used trending campaigns, memes, and sharing of false content. They posted Islamophobic content so extensively that the impact of online disinformation contributed to offline harm to minorities in the form of violent attacks and social boycotts. This paper, therefore, analyses the online and offline activities of Hindu extremists and nationalists during the spread of COVID-19. It concludes with emphasis that the ongoing metamorphosis in the relationship between state, society, and religion in India is a pressing concern for the civilized world, especially the Indian political elite.

Authors: Manzoor Saima
Published: April 2022

Grand Strategy determines the ultimate goals and interests of a state. It has long-term effects on state policies. With the advent of the 21st century, China has emerged as a regional and global power. After entering the new era of development, China set specific goals and decided to achieve them, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. These goals are to convert China into a prosperous society, increase per capita income at par with developed states and realize modernization. In 2013, Xi Jinping announced China’s Grand Strategy, while stating that the period extended to 2020 (and beyond) is the era of strategic opportunity for China. This article discusses China’s Grand Strategy in the Asia-Pacific region. First, it conceptualizes Chinese strategy by focusing on its main objectives and interests. Secondly, it analyses its components while identifying how China is utilizing its economic, political, diplomatic, and security means to secure its interests in the region and maintain regional order. It also examines Chinese foreign policy in the Asia-Pacific region according to the institutions of international society described by Hadley Bull.

LAOZI’S PHILOSOPHY: ITS COMPARISON WITH WESTERN THOUGHTS AND APPLICATION ON PAKISTAN-AFGHANISTAN RELATIONS
Authors: Mirza Zahid Latif
Published: April 2022

The complex Pakistan-Afghanistan relations always engage policymakers on both sides of the border. Their concerns towards each other have been changing the socio-political environment intermittently due to internal and external dynamics coupled with historical legacies. This study, therefore, covers the post-independence period, the Soviet Union’s communist influence in Afghanistan, the rise of the Taliban, and the post-9/11 era. It employs Lao Tzu’s philosophy which advocates the overarching features of domestic politics, global governance, and statecraft to address the prevailing intricacies in Pakistan and Afghanistan foreign policies. It discusses vital concepts and approaches of softness, normalness, and actionless action at the individual, state, and system levels while carving out institutionalized foreign policy orientations between the two neighbours. The paper also considers the western thought of realism paradigm through which peace in the region remained elusive. It deliberates upon Lao Tzu’s philosophy which lays down the foundation of the political order in a natural, peaceful and balanced way.

İSPANYA VE İTALYA SİYASAL BÖLGESELLEŞME MODELLERİNDE YETKİ PAYLAŞIMI
Authors: KESKİN Züleyha
Published: April 2022

Özerklik, son yıllarda Avrupa’da kamu yönetiminin yapılandırılması ve self determinasyon hakkı bağlamında çok tartışılan konuların başında gelmektedir. Nitekim Avrupa Birliği'nde yirmi yedi üye ülkenin sekizinde siyasi özerkliğe sahip alt devlet birimleri olmakla birlikte Fransa örneğinde olduğu gibi farklı desentralizasyon modelleri de bulunmaktadır. Özerklik talebi, tarihi gerekliliklerin yanı sıra ülkenin ekonomik ve demografik yapısı, bölgeler arası eşitsizlik, merkezi yönetimin ağır işleyen bürokrasisi gibi idari; daha demokratik bir yönetim talebi gibi siyasi iç faktörlerle birlikte, küreselleşme ve AB müktesebatına uyum ve ekonomik bütünleşme gibi dış faktörlerin yoğun baskısıyla gerçekleşmektedir. Çalışmada, bu sebeplere paralel olarak gelişen özerklik statülerinin devlet yetkilerini nasıl şekillendirdiği ele alınacaktır.

Published: April 2022

Pharmaceutical implants are small sterile solid masses usually cylindrical consisting of a highly potent and purified drug intended to be subcutaneously implanted beneath the skin by suitable special injector or by surgical incision for the purpose of providing the continuous release of the active medicament over a prolonged period of time. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of carnauba wax on the release profile of ibuprofen implants. The implants were prepared with gelatin, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose admixture (80:20) and varying amount of carnauba wax (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%) using the solvent casting technique. Another batch of the implant was formulated without the incorporation of carnauba wax. Glycerin was used as the plasticizing agent. The physicochemical properties and the release kinetics of the implants were evaluated. The implant pellets had a similar appearance with minimal batch to batch variation. The mean diameter/thickness of the implants ranged from 2.46±0.10-2.86±0.03 mm, the percentage drug content was ≤96.92±0.12% and the swelling index values were between 2.68±0.01 – 4.87±0.01%. The rate of drug release from the ibuprofen implants was significantly affected by the incorporation of carnauba wax. The higher the amount of carnauba wax incorporated in the formulation, the more retarded the rate of drug release. This can be exploited in the formulation of sustained release ibuprofen implants for the management of chronic diseases such as arthritis.
