Modernizing the Stock Pricing Mechanism: An Effective Path to Improve the Stock Market Efficiency
Authors: Hani Saad Mohamad
Published: August 2023

This study investigates whether regulating the stock pricing mechanism by adopting an agreed-upon efficient stock valuation model can enhance the stock market efficiency. The study involves a simulated stock market experiment with 65 traders who provide daily stock price predictions for a virtual company under unregulated and regulated scenarios. In the regulated scenario, traders agree on one of three valuation models to generate stock prices. Moreover, 20 evaluators acted as “Homo-Economicus” to determine a stock's fair value trend, serving as a benchmark to assess the information efficiency of the simulated market. The study finds that the NAPV-regulated market shows a strong linear relationship and high R-squared, indicating the highest level of information efficiency, while the DDM- and RIM-regulated markets show moderate correlations. The study suggests that modernizing the stock pricing mechanism, by regulating shareholders to mutually agree on one efficient stock valuation model to be used by the company to generate fair values alternative to market prices, could significantly enhance the stock market efficiency by focusing on fundamentals rather than irrational speculators. However, model choice matters, as NAPV explains more variation. The study suggests that appropriate regulation is crucial for realizing this potential. Although the results are promising, limitations like small evaluator samples, inability of models to always generate stock values, and trader biases should be considered. Future research with larger samples and more models could strengthen these insights.

Published: August 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo a proposição de um modelo de sala de aula com design acústico adequado para o ensino de música em escolas de nível fundamental e médio, impulsionado pela demanda gerada a partir da lei 11.769, de 18 de agosto de 2008, que torna o ensino de música obrigatório nas escolas desses níveis. Rocha (2010) concluiu em sua pesquisa que nas escolas investigadas não havia uma concepção prévia de arquitetura visando a essa atividade, o que culminou na adaptação dos espaços sem parâmetros técnicos para tal. A partir dessa análise, buscou-se na literatura requisitos que indicassem parâmetros a serem alcançados para uma boa performance de ambientes dessa natureza para as adaptações. A estratégia definida foi selecionar uma sala utilizada para ensino de música que não tenha sido projetada para tal, buscada a aproximação com a realidade que foi encontrada em Rocha (2010). Na sequência, foi feita a medição de resposta acústica da sala e a simulação virtual que permitiu simular alterações nos parâmetros acústicos julgados relevantes para propor modificações testadas e atender às especificações. Na busca da definição dos valores de parâmetros para orientar a execução de projetos de salas para ensino de música e da proposição de um ambiente adaptado que utilize esses valores, foi feita uma investigação do estado da arte do desenvolvimento do design acústico para salas com esse fim. Depois de formatar um grupo de valores definidos na literatura a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica extensa, foram propostas alterações nas tipologias iniciais da sala virtualizada, colhidos os resultados numéricos e depois levadas ao processo de auralização, quando foi possível ouvir a resposta da sala aos diversos instrumentos e vozes que o software possui na biblioteca. Essas audições permitiram a avaliação da qualidade da sala indicando as impressões subjetivas que nortearam o resultado da pesquisa.

Semiotic Analysis of the Meaning of Social Support in the Lyrics of the Song Pelukku Untuk Pelikmu by Fiersa Besari
Authors: Hidayat Rachmat , Nurliah Nurliah
Published: August 2023

"Pelukku Untuk Pelikmu" is a musical work from a musician and book writer, Fiersa Besari. It was released as the soundtrack of the movie "Imperfect: Career, Love, & Scales" in 2019. Carrying the theme of self-confidence from one's insecure nature, this song is also intended for those who experience downturns and experience mental decline due to various problems in life so that they need positive encouragement to rise from these conditions. Therefore, indicators of social support are closely related and can be measured using sign analysis proposed by Ferdinand de Saussure. In his theory, Saussure describes five language concepts in the linguistic system that can be a knife to dissect the meaning of a text or sentence. Meanwhile, social support is divided into four types, namely emotional support, information support, instrumental/real support, and friendship support. The results of the meaning in the song lyrics will then classify each sentence in it into one of these types of support. The approach used in this research is descriptive qualitative by analyzing the relationship between Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory and the concept of social support and then drawing conclusions based on the results of the analysis.

BACKGROUND: Depression is common among persons with TB and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. However, little is known about the relationship between latent TB infection (LTBI) and depression. We assessed the association between LTBI and depressive symptoms among household
contacts (HHCs) of patients receiving TB treatment.METHODS: We enrolled 1,009 HHCs of 307 patients receiving TB treatment in Lima, Peru, during 2016–2018. At enrollment, HHC LTBI status was assessed using the interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA). Depressive symptoms were
assessed at baseline and 12 months later using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) with a cut-off of ≥5. We used logistic regression to estimate the
odds ratio (OR) for PHQ-9 ≥5, comparing HHCs with and without baseline LTBI.RESULTS: Among 921 HHCs, 374 (41.0%) had LTBI at baseline, and 69 (12.4%)
of 567 HHCs had PHQ-9 ≥5. Compared to HHCs without LTBI at enrollment, those with LTBI had almost two times the odds of PHQ-9 <inline-formula
id="IE4">≥5 at follow-up after controlling for potential confounders (adjusted OR 1.93, 95% CI 1.09–3.39); this association was driven by greater severities of depressive
symptoms.CONCLUSION: HHCs with LTBI had increased odds of depressive symptoms 1 year later. This population may benefit from mental health screening and interventions integrated into TB programs.

BACKGROUND: TB-related stigma hampers access to diagnosis and treatment, making it important to understand the demographic and clinical characteristics associated with perceived TB stigma. TB stigma has not been studied in household contacts before, yet they comprise an important
population for epidemic control, with high risk of infection.METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted among people with TB and household contacts in South Africa using a 12-item perceived TB stigma scale (score range: 0–36). Demographic and clinical characteristic data
were collected using a close-ended questionnaire. A linear mixed-effects regression model was used to explore perceived TB stigma levels and its associated characteristics.RESULTS: The sample included 143 people with TB and 135 household contacts. The mean perceived TB stigma score
among people with TB was 22.1 (95% CI 21.1–23.1) and 22.2 (95% CI 21.1–23.3) among household contacts. Being in the same household explained 24.3% variability in stigma perception. Residence in the urban study site (Soshanguve) and a positive HIV diagnosis were associated with
higher perceived TB stigma score.CONCLUSIONS: People with TB and household contacts have similarly high prevalence of perceived TB stigma. Positive HIV status and urban location were associated with higher prevalence of perceived TB stigma.

Published: August 2023

This paper interrogates the traumatic effect(s) of childlessness in Flora Nwapa’s Efuru and One is Enough. It seeks to establish the idea that childlessness can lead to trauma as presented by Flora Nwapa in the two novels under. Nwapa captures the trauma that women who could not bear children in either their early years in marriages or in their entire married life go through in traditional Africa society. In patriarchal society, every marriage has a high hope of procreation or in order to sustain or continue the family linage. When this does not happen, it leads to psychological and emotional trauma in the life of the family especially the woman who is blamed to be the source of the childlessness. The study uses Laura S. Brown’s theory of trauma to explore and analyze the traumatic effects of childlessness in the two novels. One of the findings of this study is that women are always blamed for such situation. This leads to psychological and emotional pains and trauma. The women are psychologically and emotional destabilized, devastated and depressed. It makes the characters helpless and unfulfilled in their marriages and in the society as the joy of motherhood eludes them. This study has added to the corpus of knowledge on the relationship between childlessness and trauma. It would also help practioners in the field to know how to handle those that are in that state. Finally, the study posits that those that are childless should not be treated with disdain.

Published: August 2023

The cost of building is influenced by a variety of design variables. There would however appear a paucity of readily available cost data on the impact of design variables. This research is set out with a view towards the establishing readily available cost data information as well as relevant cost indices. The research used case study from previous buildings, extensive reviews, the statistical technique of percentile as its computational technique and rates obtained from synthesized bills priced by professional Quantity Surveying firms, as relevant components of its methodology. The location of the research, Port Harcourt metropolis is situated in Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Research findings from the case study buildings as well as extensive literature review established that there exist differentials in the initial and total costs of both building plan Shapes (Square and rectangular), recording a 12.56 percentage differential. The elemental cost derived from both shapes also established differentials between 0.53 to 17.79%. The study also establishes the perimeter wall and gross floor area ratio which is an important index towards the determination of economic building shapes. The research concludes that the results, from the case study building would appear limited and as such should avoid being overgeneralized, nevertheless, it does serves to further reveal in broad terms, that the influence of plan shapes of simple buildings on cost is minimal. It recommends further, exploratory study that focuses on design and their cost implications, using cost models that input a wider range of variables

THE INFERENCE OF THE IMPACT OF RUGOSE SPIRALING WHITEFLY ON OIL PALM FRESH FRUIT BUNCH YIELD IN INDIA
Authors: KALIDAS P
Published: August 2023

Rugose spiraling whitefly incidence is becoming a serious issue in the plantation crops of West and East Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh, India in the recent years. In oil palm nutrient draining due to continuous sucking of the cell sap by the nymphs and adults is the prime reason for loss of yield. Depending on the severity of the pest incidence, fresh fruit bunch (FFB) yield losses varying between 20 – 45 per cent in the farmers’ fields at village levels and 30-42 per cent at mandal (an administrative division in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India) levels was observed at twelve months after the initiation of the incidence. Sooty mould fungus development on the honeydew secretions made the leaves become black and unfit for photosynthetic activity which could also be one of the causes for yield loss. Keywords: Rugose spiraling whitefly, Godavari districts, Andhra Pradesh, oil palm, sooty mould, honeydew.
The Broadening of Art Perspectives in an Art Course of Non-Art Major Students through a Korean Art Teacher’s Asian Art Viewpoint
Authors:   Asian Qualitative Inquiry Association, Chang Yongsock
Published: August 2023

This research explores how Multicultural and Asian art affects college students in a U.S. university. The students did not major in art, and they chose art as elective subjects. The art course consisted of art theory and practice based on DBAE(Discipline-Based Art Education). In the art class, some non-white students always enrolled in the course. The researcher found that DBAE was satisfactory but sometimes inappropriate because DBAE is rooted in Western high art. The researcher changed the art studio class with a multicultural perspective, especially Asian art because he wanted to introduce a new art style to the class and give them a chance to appreciate non-western art. Qualitative action research and arts-based research methods were used to conduct this project. The result revealed that the students of color showed more confidence and actively participated in the class. The works of students of color were changed and improved. Second, women became more aware of social issues and expressed their feelings and emotions in their works. It seemed that the women students would become social activists and voice their opinions by making their art. Third, some students, especially Hispanic and Asian students showed their identity through their artworks. Forth, some Korean students did not make much progress. By including multicul-tural art in art classes, more students could broaden their perspectives on art and understand diversity through their artworks.

Pensando em poesia: uma análise das visões de poesia da antologia Poesia faz pensar
Authors: Batista Thaís Fernanda Viana
Published: August 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as concepções de poesia existentes na obra Poesia faz pensar (2011), organizada pelo crítico literário, poeta e autor de obras de ficção juvenil, Carlos Felipe Moisés, buscando investigar como essas concepções são defendidas na antologia e se elas funcionam como um incentivo à leitura dos poemas escolhidos. Para tal, buscou-se analisar a composição da antologia, tendo em vista, principalmente, os nomes selecionados para compor a obra em análise. Ademais, analisou-se também a estruturação da obra, que está dividida em seções temáticas e que contém comentários de Carlos Felipe Moisés anteriores e posteriores ao conjunto de poemas que compõem cada seção. Selecionou-se alguns dos comentários do organizador para a realização de uma análise mais detida a respeito das noções de poesia que se deixam perceber na leitura de tais observações. As análises foram feitas com base nas concepções teóricas de Antonio Candido (2011), Émile Benveniste (1989), Marisa Lajolo (2001), Ivete Lara Camargos Walty (2008), Hélder Pinheiro (2007), entre outros autores. Na leitura realizada, concluiu-se que a antologia compõe uma importante ferramenta para o trabalho com a leitura de poemas em sala de aula, pois traz uma concepção de poesia como fruto da elaboração estética e da reflexão do poeta sobre as maneiras de escrita dos poemas, noções importantes para que os alunos entrem em contato com os modos de elaboração e não apenas com os conteúdos dos poemas, o que costumeiramente acontece no ambiente escolar.

Museums featuring dinosaur fossils have always attracted the attention of the crowd. However, sustaining public interest in science becomes more challenging year after year, even for popular attractions, calling for changes in how exhibits appear in the face of new technologies. To enrich the user’s experience and enhance the exhibition’s attractiveness, we developed and evaluated an immersive and interactive Virtual Reality (VR) experience to integrate the Paleontology exhibition at the Câmara Cascudo Museum in Natal, Brazil. Experienced VR users were interviewed and reported, through software tests, that the system was stable and performed as intended without any noticeable issues that could affect the user experience. They also found the content adequate, except for the suggestion to include more information about Paleoichnology and the finding of fossil tracksites. The graphical quality received mixed reviews, with some participants suggesting improvements to the terrain, such as adding vegetation and enhancing lighting. They also noted that the experience would appeal to younger audiences, thanks to the novelty of VR technology and the accessibility offered by the museum. Improvements were made to the environment based on their feedback, including changes to the terrain and lighting. Additionally, we developed two alternative versions of the experience, one for multi-projection in a room and another without interactive elements. Our results indicate that the VR experience can be successfully integrated with the exhibition and has the potential to enhance museum visits. It can connect the audience with the actual fossils on display by using a dinosaur in the exhibition. It allows one to visualize how their region changed in the past million years. Finally, this experiment helped bridge the population from an unprivileged region with the science that is produced upon the fossils found in their context. Such knowledge broadens the public’s imagination and triggers a whole chain of development for the community around the museum. Our VR exhibition prototype showed great potential to amplify this mission.
Distribution of House Sparrows, Passer domesticus indicus, in Coimbatore District, Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Sundarapandian Mahalakshmi , Raman Priya
Published: August 2023

The Indian house sparrow, Passer domesticus indicus, is a small bird that is common in India, found in close contact with humans, instead of forests. Over recent years, according to the study, the house sparrow population has been on the decline in many Asian countries, which is quite evident in India. To understand the reason for their decline a study was conducted in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India, during 2007–2008. The population of the house sparrows was counted at five sampling sites: agricultural area, marketplace, bus stand, residential area, and industrial area. The industrial area showed a decline in the population compared to other areas. The study was conducted again after 12 years at the same sampling site during the pandemic. It was observed an increase of 128% in the agricultural area, 233% in the marketplace, 369% in the bus stand area, 131% in the residential area, and 214% in the industrial area. It was interesting to notice a pronounced increase in all the study sites, which is slightly deviating from the other studies that reported their decline. The increase in numbers may be due to the fewer working men and less usage of the equipment during the pandemic.

This chapter analyzes the main surgical procedures used in PH, starting with lung transplantation, pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolism, mechanical circulatory support, and right-to-left shunts as palliative procedures. The indications for surgery, donor organ procurement, and preservation techniques are also reviewed.
Recovery and Rehydration of Decomposed and Mummified Tissues in Postmortem Analysis
Authors: Aguilar-Navarro William , Cerda-Aguilar Carmen
Published: August 2023

After the death of individuals, sequential degradative processes called autolysis and putrefaction are initiated in the tissues, processes that cause total or partial degradation, sometimes leaving remnants of tissue. Mummification is a process by which the degradative processes are slowed and, in some cases, stopped, allowing the tissue to be apparently preserved. There are two main types of mummification: natural and artificial; natural mummification is caused by conditions related to the environment in which the tissues are located. Within the artificial techniques, there is cadaveric preservation (embalming), a procedure currently used for health and scientific studies. To carry out studies of tissues in some degree of decomposition or mummified, it is necessary to submit the samples for a process called recovery and/or rehydration, by means of immersion techniques in hypotonic solutions, which facilitates the processing and subsequent analysis of the characteristics of these tissues, both macroscopically and microscopically.

A Self-Cleaning Approach Utilizing Metal Oxide Thin Films and Nanocomposites
Authors: Al Nahid Abdullah
Published: August 2023

Self-cleaning technology mimics the natural self-cleaning abilities of plants and animals such as lotus effect, to create a surface that is hydrophobic and oleophobic, meaning it repels water and oil. The resultant surface is resistant to dirt and grime, making it easier to clean and maintain, reducing labor costs and time consumption. However, it is not only limited to the superhydrophobic surface for making the water roll off instead of sliding but also modern research focuses on incorporating photocatalysts to break down organic compounds during daylight at outdoor applications. In addition, self-cleaning surfaces and coatings are attracting research attention due to their ability to self-disinfect. This review highlights the use of metal oxide-based nanocomposite for self-cleaning purposes. This chapter provides an outlook of different metal oxide and metal-metal oxide nanocomposites in advancing self-cleaning properties, durability, and other mechanical properties. This chapter aims to give a general overview of a variety of polymeric metal oxide-based systems and methods that enhance self-cleaning behavior as well as the projection toward future research.

Published: August 2023

Human balance is essential for maintaining stable posture and safe mobility. Balance relies on the integration of various sensory and motor systems, including the audiovestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems. Cochlear implantation can potentially affect the peripheral vestibular system, leading to balance disturbances. We studied postural balance in children after cochlear implantation (CI) using the Nintendo Wii Balance Board (WBB) with Wii Posturografie software. Balance was assessed in 77 children (14 with CI, 25 with sensorineural deafness, and 38 controls). Children under 8 years old after CI showed significant differences in postural balance compared to controls, while those over 8 years old did not differ significantly. The WBB with Wii Posturografie proves effective for evaluating postural balance in children. Understanding postural changes in CI recipients can aid in optimizing auditory rehabilitation and enhancing overall outcomes. Further long-term investigations are needed.
