Impacto laboral y económico de la pandemia por Covid-19 sobre la población migrante en Argentina
Authors: Penchaszadeh Ana Paula , Nicolao Julieta , Debandi Natalia
Published: September 2022

Este artículo se ocupa de analizar de qué manera la crisis sanitaria por Covid-19 y las medidas que desplegó el Estado para enfrentarla impactaron en la integración laboral de la población migrante en Argentina durante 2020. Para ello, focaliza en las formas de acceso al mercado laboral por parte de este grupo social, antes y durante la crisis sanitaria, en su interrelación con otras variables clave como el tiempo de residencia y la situación documentaria. Los hallazgos presentados se sustentan en el análisis de diversas fuentes primarias y secundarias (como la Primera Encuesta Nacional Migrante de Argentina 2020 y la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares 2018-2020), informes técnicos elaborados por organismos internacionales, datos publicados por organismos estatales, pedidos de información pública ad hoc y documentos normativos que sustentan la política pública en las materias analizadas.
El estudio demuestra que las precarias condiciones que caracterizan de manera estructural la inserción laboral de una buena parte de esta población en la Argentina se vieron agudizadas rápidamente, limitando sus posibilidades de supervivencia personal y familiar. Asimismo, destaca que, debido a una falta histórica de universalización de las políticas de seguridad social, las medidas estatales de contención socioeconómica, destinadas a amortiguar el impacto sobre los sectores menos favorecidos y en situación de vulnerabilidad, excluyeron sistemáticamente a una gran porción de la población migrante que precisaba ser alcanzada por ellas.
La excepción evidencia la regla: humanitarismo y securitización en las políticas migratorias argentinas (2015-2019)
Authors: Pereira Andrés , Clavijo Janneth
Published: September 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las formas en que convivieron las perspectivas humanitarias y las de seguridad en las políticas de migraciones internacionales durante el gobierno de la alianza Cambiemos (2015-2019) en Argentina. El método seleccionado es de tipo cualitativo de alcance explicativo, basado en la recolección de diferentes documentos como decretos, resoluciones, disposiciones, videos en línea, informes y páginas web de organismos internacionales. El análisis del corpus documental permite reconocer cómo los procesos simultáneos de securitización y humanitarización construyen representaciones ambiguas y dicotómicas sobre las migraciones y los migrantes que los clasifican como sujetos peligrosos o víctimas merecedores de protección. La originalidad del artículo reside en el desarrollo de una perspectiva de análisis sobre las políticas migratorias adoptadas en Argentina que permite comprender la simultaneidad de los procesos de securitización y humanitarización.
Glycemic effects of Catha edulis
Authors: Odhaib Samih Abed , Al-Sharafi Butheinah A. , Mansour Abbas Ali
Published: September 2022

More than 20 million people in the East African horn and the southern Arabian Peninsula chew khat (Catha edulis) on a daily basis. The glycemic effect of khat chewing, regardless of diabetes status, is still being debated. Using studies from countries where chewing khat is common, we attempted to discuss the potential glycemic effects of Catha edulis in humans and some animal models. This review included a thorough search in PubMed and the Cochrane Library using PRISMA guidelines, with words like (Khat) and (Qat) serving as query indicators for (diabetes) and (glucose), with no language or species restrictions. Khat is chewed for its stimulating and enjoyable properties. Despite a relatively small number of studies on khat’s glycemic effect, the debate continues. Many studies have linked the glycemic effect of khat leaves to their freshness and the duration of the stimulant effect. Although only in animal models, khat’s destructive effect on pancreatic -cells could cause some dysglycemic effects. The cathinone cannot be blamed for the glycemic effect.
The application of a optimal controller for the flexible joint robot
Authors: Danh Nguyen Cong
Published: September 2022

This paper describes the operation of a single Degree of Freedom (DOF) flexible robotic arm by the optimal controller. The derived model is based on Euler- Lagrange approach, while the first and second-order (super twisting) Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is proposed as a nonlinear control strategy. Exploration of a flexible robotic arm with using state-of-the-art controllers is essential for practical applications. This is even more refreshing when these arms have joints that work independently of each other to create a smooth connection between the joints, but it still ensures the natural properties like a real human arm. This system has many similarities with the flexible link system of the MIMO model in its operational state analysis. Control laws must be followed by logical rules in a coherent whole. The next step is to design a controller to fit the structure of the system. The author also compared the use of the above controller with a system without using any controller to determine the effectiveness of using the above controller.
The moderating effect of demographics and institutional characteristics between religiosity and cost management accounting practices of rural SMEs
Authors: Mandongwe L. , Jaravaza D.C. , Makudza F.
Published: September 2022

The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the direct and indirect effects that owner/manager demographic attributes and firm characteristics have on the relationship between religiosity and the two dependent variables, cost accounting and management accounting in Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) of subsistence economies. Self-administered survey was used to draw responses from 100 SMEs in Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe. To facilitate the analysis of the data, given the moderation effect that sought to be tested, both IBM SPSS Statistics v26 and the Hayes Process Macro for SPSS were used. The moderation effect was validated through general linear factorial MANOVA. The study provided evidence on the significance of education in moderating the relationship between religiosity and cost and management practices (CMAPS). However, two demographic variables (age and gender) and three firm characteristics (revenue, number of employees and years in business) were not statistically significant and therefore had no interaction effects between these independent and dependent variables. It was recommended to encourage on lifelong learning and education to entrepreneurs as a way of enhancing the use of cost and management accounting practices in subsistence markets so as to boost their financial performance.
Soyabean response to rhizobial inoculation under contrasting smallholder agro-ecological conditions in Zimbabwe
Authors: Kainga T. , Mupepereki S.
Published: September 2022

Soyabean is grown widely with rhizobial inoculants on commercial farms in Zimbabwe, but its inoculation response in smallholder cropping environments is poorly characterized. Symbiotic interactions of six rhizobial strains (MAR 1305,1306,1326,1494, 1497 and 1515) from the Grasslands Rhizobium Collection were evaluated under contrasting soils and rainfall zones (natural region) in Zimbabwe. The rhizobial strains were evaluated on one specific and three promiscuous soyabean varieties (SC Saga and TGX (1740-2F/ 1987-628/ 1987-11E). The study was conducted over two rainfall seasons namely 2011-2012 and 2012-2013.  Field experiments were set up as a randomized complete block design with two factors (soyabean variety and rhizobial strain), a negative control without inoculation and a positive control inoculated with commercial inoculant strain MAR 1491. All treatments were replicated three times. Nodulation was significantly (P< .0001) influenced by rhizobial strain inoculation with nodulation ranging from 28 to37 nodules per plant. Over the two seasons, soyabean inoculated with MAR 1305, 1306, 1494 and 1515 consistently gave higher grain yield higher (average of 600kg/ha) compared to that inoculated with commercial inoculant strain MAR 1491 (average of 400kg/ha). Nodulation of both promiscuous and specific varieties decreased with annual rainfall amounts in the order: Natural Region (NR)II> NRIII> NRIV. Rhizobial strains MAR 1305, 1306 and 1494 were superior in NR II and NRIII while rhizobial strain MAR 1515 was superior in NR IV. Our results show that identification of superior strains best suited to smallholder cropping environments and inoculation response are crucial for increasing soyabean productivity in these environments.
The Effect of Different Substrates Found in Zimbabwe on the Growth and Yield of Oyster Mushroom Pleurotus Ostreatus
Authors: Zhou G. , Parawira W.
Published: September 2022

The research was carried out to investigate the effect of different substrates on the growth and yield of P. ostreatus. Locally available agricultural wastes such as saw dust (S1), cotton waste (S2), wheat straw (S3) and corncob (S4) were tested for parameters such as days required for spawn run, primordial formation, harvest days, total yield and biological efficiency. Biological Efficiency (BE) was calculated as the ratio of fresh fruiting body weight (g) per dry weight of substrates (g), expressed as a percentage. Before substrates were used in this study they were subjected to nutritional (C, N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Zn) analysis. The highest yield of 1275.45 g was obtained in saw dust and the lowest yield of 1058.7 g was obtained in cotton waste. The highest carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio was found in saw dust (53:0.1) and the least C/N ratio was found in cotton waste (39:1). There were 19 spawn run days in saw dust and 24 spawn run days in cotton waste. Stem width (2.6 cm) and cap diameter (9.7 cm) were greatest in cotton waste and low in saw dust with stem width (2.3 cm) and cap diameter (7.4 cm). Substrates with a higher C/N ratio had the greatest yield and biological efficiency. The higher C/N ratio favoured mycelium growth and lower carbon to nitrogen ratio favored fruiting body growth. In this study saw dust had the highest C/N ratio and it had the greatest yield and low spawn run days yet cotton waste had the least C/N ratio but its fruiting body measurements were very high. There was no significant difference at p≤0.05 between wheat straw and corn cob in terms of growth parameters and yield as their C/N was significantly high at (44:1) and (49:1) respectively. The results signifies that apart from soya beans and maize stalk which were widely used by farmers as substrates of choice, saw dust, cotton waste, corn cob and wheat straw were good alternatives for the growth of P. ostreatus mushrooms. Saw dust was very good in the total yield obtained but cotton waste had the best quality of mushrooms with very big stipes and cap diameter. These locally available substrates in Zimbabwe were recommended for use by small scale farmers for sustainable production of oyster mushrooms as they produced good yields at low cost.

Published: September 2022

The regular practice of physical activity can positively influence well-being and reduce stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms. However, some studies indicate that a high level of activity practice can have a negative impact on mental health. So, this study aimed to verify the extent to which different levels of physical activity influence the incidence of anxiety, stress, and depression in Brazilian adults of both sexes. A total of 287 individuals participated in the study, answering the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-short form) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). They were divided into four groups, considering the physical activity level: sedentary (n=23), irregularly active (n=35), active (n=88), and very active (n=141). The results show that, regarding the amount of practice and intensity of physical activities, the sedentary group (with little time per week in different dimensions of physical activity, such as walking and physical effort) was associated with higher scores of depression, anxiety, and stress. On the other hand, the same did not happen with the other groups. Thus, the results seem to suggest that there is an effect of the practice of physical activity on these variables, as sedentary individuals had higher scores for all dimensions. Furthermore, for the studied sample, any level of physical activity practice was associated with reduced anxiety, stress, and depression, with no differences found between irregularly active, active or very active individuals.

Published: September 2022

This study is aimed to evaluate the relationship between VEGF and TLR4 expression in the ileum during broiler post-hatching development. The material for the study was taken from the ileum tissue of 7-, 21-, and 42-day-old broilers. In tissue sections VEGF and TLR4 expression were demonstrated by Streptavidin-biotin complex immunohistochemistry method. Beginning on the 7th day after hatching, the number of stained cells and staining intensity in the epithelial cells lining the villus intestinalis increased in TLR4 immunostaining. On the 7th day following hatching, TLR4 protein expression was not seen in crypt epithelial cells. At day 21, crypt epithelial cells began to stain and gave a more intense immunoreaction at day 42. In VEGF-stained sections, the ileum villus epithelial cells, crypt, and smooth muscle tissue showed a brown intracytoplasmic response. The expression of the VEGF protein in the upper villus epithelial cells started to increase on the 7th day, and it stained intensely, especially on the 42nd day. In addition, it was observed that the staining intensity of the tunica muscularis layer was the same on the 7th and 21st days, and increased on the 42nd day. It was remarkable that goblet cells gave negative results in both immunostaining. In summary it seen that TLR4 and VEGF expression were found to be increase in this study from the 7th to the 42nd day following hatching. Thus, it was concluded that angiogenesis mechanisms and the development of innate and adaptive defense systems continue throughout the post-hatching period.

Exploring the Factors that Affect Employee Motivation during COVID-19 Pandemic: An Empirical Study from Indonesia
Authors:   Faculty of Business, President University, Indonesia
Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has created working condition that is totally new to working population globally, including Indonesia. Social distancing policies have forced employee to work from home where work-life and family-life domains become blur and may increase level of stress due to various reasons. Employees that need to work in the office may be fear of infection if the working environment is perceived not safe. Other factors, such as leadership style, may complicate the issues faced by the employees. Previous studies on how COVID-19 pandemic affects employee motivation are still limited. This study answers the limited research on employee motivation during COVID-19 pandemic and attempts to minimize the gap by investigating the relationship and impact of four independent variables (safe working environment, special benefit, perceived work-life balance, and transformational leadership) on employee motivation during COVID-19 pandemic. Online questionnaire survey method was employed to collect data from 325 active working employees mainly across Java Island. Multiple regression using SPSS version 25 was applied to analyze the data. Results show that all four variables have positive relationship with employee motivation. However, only three variables (safe working environment, special benefits, and transformational leadership) have significant impact on employee motivation.
Success Factors of East Asian Economic Development: Learnings for a Developing Country like Bangladesh
Authors:   Masters Student, Graduate School of Economics, Yamaguchi University, Japan
Published: September 2022

This article has tried to explore the success factors of East Asian economic development by highlighting seven "stylized realities," which include the contributions of structural change and technological change to industrialization and growth, as well as the functions of governments, productivity, investment, and exports. This piece of writing also highlights what other emerging nations such as Bangladesh can learn from the history of East Asian economic development. This is a theoretical study that relied on secondary data. Reference journals, books, local and foreign articles, working papers, websites of relevant organizations, and local and international newspapers were used to compile the data. This essay contends that Bangladesh can learn valuable lessons from East Asia's development experience. However, "development" cannot be directly copied from elsewhere because it is the result of specific socially structured conditions and the process of changing those conditions. Different economies and institutions may learn different lessons from East Asia, depending on the problems they face, their desire and ability to address problems, as well as the circumstances under which they do so.
Investment Intensity Risk, Investor Irrationality and Stock Returns in Kenya
Authors:   Senior Lecturer, Department of Economics and Finance Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) Kenya
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of investor irrationality on the relationship between investment intensity risk and stock returns in Kenya.The study utilized monthly time series data for 60 companies listed at the NSE over the recent 9 years from 2011-2019. The study employed time series regression using Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegration approach and Error Correction (ECM) estimation techniques to examine whether the effect of investment intensity risk on stock returns will vary with level of investor irrationality. Consistent with theory, investment intensity variable had more positive loadings on small firms with conservative investment policy, implying they have high exposure to investment risk and tend to yield higher returns. The study did not find evidence to support investment intensity risk in Kenya. The Investor irrationality variable is however a significant source of systematic risk and can enhance the predictive power of asset pricing models. The interaction term between investor irrationality and investment intensity was insignificant suggesting lack of moderating effect.The shorter nine year period considered by the study could be a source of small sample bias in the estimation. Sample periods for studies in mature markets span for over decades. In this light, making comparison of the findings in this thesis with those of other related studies may not be feasible. This study is first of its kind to analyze the moderating effect of investor behavior on asset pricing for an emerging market. The paper contributes to portfolio management and asset pricing literature for an emerging market.Practical implication of the findings in this study is that investments at NSE will yield high returns in a bullish market and that portfolio managers can strategically build up their portfolios to allocate more funds in small firms following conservative investment policy to earn higher risk-adjusted returns.

Authors:   Universitas Pembangunan Nasional ",   Veteran",   Jawa Timur
Published: September 2022

The culinary business is a business that is growing rapidly, especially with online food delivery service applications such as Gofood and Grab food, which help MSMEs to market their products. However, the increasing number of merchants who join as partners, especially with the promo program, makes merchants compete with one another. This research approach is qualitative where researchers observe and interview MSME merchants in Surabaya who have joined as Gofood and Grabfood partners. The results obtained are that MSME merchants benefit by taking advantage of promos such as additional sales and increasing brand awareness to consumers, but they do not only rely on sales media through this service so that profit margins can be more optimal. Suggestions from the author for application providers, it is better to provide subsidies for promos that can be distinguished between MSME merchants and large class ones.
Response, Recovery and Reset of the Covid-19 Pandemic Become a Long Term Transformative Business Interest Opportunity for the Bali Community
Authors:   Warmadewa University, Bali, Indonesia
Published: September 2022

The sale of culture and nature which is summarized in the tourism industry so far carried out in Bali has become the main foundation of the regional economy. However, tourism exploitation is mostly focused on the sense of sight only, and not on the sense of taste which the tourism sector seeks to serve tourists based on their habits. As a result, local natural resource products, in this case, food products in Bali, have not been fully absorbed in the tourism industry. If only we can support the tourism industry by strengthening our agricultural industry, it is possible that the Balinese people will have other economic alternatives besides the tourism sector. Realizing the self-sufficiency in rice that we used to have. This study aims to collect opinions from tourism industry stakeholders in Bali in terms of alternative actions that can be taken (response and recovery) to revive the tourism industry which is the mainstay of Bali and the incorporation of the tourism industry and local food through the food supply chain (reset), especially to hotels and restaurants as new opportunities in exploiting their local potential. An opportunity to be able to revive the agricultural sector as the mainstay of the Balinese people's livelihood in this pandemic situation. The despair of the tourism community is expected to be revived by the agricultural community.

La colección «Cuadernos de Ciencias Sociales» representa un lugar importante para la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, toda vez que es la apuesta editorial en la cual invitamos al diálogo académico con pares en el ámbito de la investigación por lo humano y lo social. En esta entrega, invitamos a una reflexión, a partir de resultados de investigación, respecto a las sensibilidades, las interacciones y las mediaciones que constituyen la textura humana y social de nuestro entorno. Esta es la tercera entrega de la Colección. Como programa de Comunicación Social es un honor haber liderado la convocatoria, edición y publicación del libro, siempre de la mano del Fondo Editorial Universidad Católica de Oriente. Desde ese contexto, los lectores deben saber que las líneas temáticas que estructuran el texto se desprenden de las categorías conceptuales con las cuales, desde el grupo de investigación del Programa, Communis, venimos pensando la Comunicación para el cambio social. En efecto, y tal como anunciábamos en el primer número de la colección, denominado «Territorio, identidades, comunicación», estas son las plataformas teóricas desde las cuales entendemos la incidencia de la comunicación en la búsqueda de trazar mejores destinos junto a los grupos sociales y las comunidades. De hecho, como se desarrollaba allí mismo, ese planteamiento teórico desglosa cada uno de sus componentes en subcategorías que despliegan, con más detalle, áreas de acción. En el caso del 18 componente comunicación, estos son las sensibilidades, las interacciones y las mediaciones. Desde ya, proyectamos otros dos números dentro de esta misma colección, en los cuales desarrollaremos los otros dos componentes: identidades y territorio.

Published: September 2022

Purpose. To establish regularities of the influence of seeding rate and mineral fertilizers rate on photosynthetic activity and productivity formation in spring rapeseed (Brassica napus oleifera DC.) grown on typical low-humus chernozems of Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. Methods. During the research, generally accepted methods in crop production were used. Results. Peculiarities of photosynthetic activity and productivity formation in spring rapeseed under the conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe are investigated. The dynamics of leaf area formation in the main periods of growth and development is established. The maximum leaf area was in ВВСН 35–38 for sowing 1.6 million seeds/ha, in ВВСН 55–58 1.4–1.6 million seeds/ha, and in ВВСН 65–68 1.0–1.2 million seeds/ha. In stages ВВСН 35–38 and ВВСН 65–68 (stalking – flowering), the leaf area in all experimental treatments increased, reaching a maximum in ВВСН 65–68. Application of mineral fertilizers promoted the development of the leaf area of spring rapeseed. In the course of research we established the dynamics of formation of leaf area index in different stages of development depending on the mineral fertilizers rates. In the period from emergence to ВВСН 55–58, the maximum leaf area was formed by N120P90K150 application. Starting from ВВСН 65–68, the largest assimilation surface in rapeseed was formed with the application of N90P60K120. As a result of the correlation-regression analysis, it was found that in the period from ВВСН 14–16 to ВВСН 35–38, there was no correlation between leaf area index and crop yield. The correlation coefficient (r) in the period ВВСН 14–16 was 0.207, and in ВВСН 35–38 r = 0.329. Conclusions. The largest leaf area index of ‘Yura’ rapeseed hybrid was formed in ВВСН 65–68 (flowering) at the application of mineral fertilizers in the rate N90P60K120 and seeding rate of 1.0 million seeds/ha. The highest yield of spring rapeseed was formed at the seeding rate of 1.0 million seeds/ha and application of N90P60K120 (3.31 t/ha) and N90P60K105 (3.27 t/ha). The correlation between leaf area and yield was observed in ВВСН 55–58 (r = 0.611), ВВСН 65–68 (r = 0.927), and ВВСН 85–88 (r = 0.943).
