Dividend Policy Determinants and Stock Price Volatility in Selected African Stock Markets
Authors: Ajao Mayowa  Gabriel , Robinson Fredrick Edosa
Published: March 2022

The study examined the impact of dividend policy determinants on stock price volatility in Sub Sahara Africa. Three (3) economies (Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa) were selected from among the 51 economies in the region, and data spanning 9 years (2011-2019) were obtained and subjected to econometric analyses. The Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedacity (GARCH) was used to ascertain and generate the volatility properties of the stock prices, while the panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique was used to capture the relationship between dividend policy determinants and stock price volatility. The independent variables analyzed in this study are leverage (LEV), firm size (FSIZE), dividend yield (DY), earnings per share (EPS) and dividend payout (DPO) while the dependent variable was the volatility in stock price (SPV). Findings show that all of the variables considered have varying degree of relationships with stock price volatility both in the long run and short run in the three countries. The pooled result indicated that DPO, LEV, FSIZE, DY and EPS had a significant relationship with stock price volatility within the study period in the long run but no short run relationship could be confirmed for the combined samples. The study concluded that dividend payout, dividend yield and earnings per share are significant factors that can be used for predicting the volatile movement in stock price in the African stock markets. The study recommended that dividend payment should be consistent and smoothed to disrupt volatility of stock prices since dividend payment is found to be significant determinant of stock price volatility.

Published: March 2022

The effective communication of risks involved in anti-malaria dosage information dissemination is fundamental in health education and advocacies. Although there is no known pattern of communication perspective regarding numerous health risks involved in self-medication of anti-malaria drugs in Nigeria setting especially as more than half of the entire population relay on self-medication because of poor healthcare system. This paper reviews and evaluates the relative merits of two approaches to health risk communication of anti-malaria drugs on patients in Nigeria. One approach relies on the presentation of numerical information regarding the probability of a health problem occurring annually despite the claim of malaria eradication, whereas the other relies on the presentation of information about the antecedents and consequences of a health problem. Because people have considerable difficulty understanding and using quantitative information on the anti-malaria leaflets, the effectiveness of interventions that rely solely on numerical probability information has been limited. Interventions that provide people with a broader informational context to think about a health problem have had greater success systematically influencing perceptions of personal risk but have several important limitations. However, before any final conclusions can be drawn regarding the relative merits of different health risk communication strategies, investigators must agree on the specific criteria that should be used to identify an effective intervention. The finding pre-supposes a recurring pattern of approach to health risk information based on the peculiarity of recent interventions in the health sector

The study was conducted to assess the stability of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and the factors contributing to the stability of FPOs in West Bengal during 2020. Using random sampling procedure, data were collected from 120 farmer members from ten FPOs from four districts of the state namely Birbhum, Murshidabad, Purba Bardhaman and Nadia through personal interview method. For measuring the stability of FPOs, stability index was developed taking mutual trust, role clarity of the members, level of involvement of members in group works, satisfaction of the members, sense of attachment and conviction and sense of ownership as the indicators. The significant difference between the mean scores of stability index of high and low performing FPOs were observed with respect to the dimensions like satisfaction of the members, mutual trust, role clarity and sense of attachment and conviction. Attitude of members towards their FPO and cooperation were found to be significant contributor in developing better group stability within a high performing FPO. Attitude towards FPO, assimilation and competition were found to be the reliable predictors for the variance in group stability in low performing FPOs.

Published: March 2022

Agriculture in India has metamorphosed a lot during the last seven decades from being a subsistence farming to commercial agriculture. The innovations in Indian agriculture have paved the way for seeing agriculture as an agri-business enterprise. The creation of diverse agribusiness opportunities amidst the existing constraints and challenges has reoriented the farming in India. Having seen the positive changes in agriculture due to the agribusiness orientation in India, other countries in Asia and Africa are keen to adopt this approach in their countries. The selected officials representing Government, civil society and private firms from Africa and Asia were trained under Feed the Future India Triangular Training during 2019 on Agribusiness innovations in India and the opportunities for their countries. Following the training, the research study conducted showed that, Indian agribusiness innovations in supply chain management, good agriculture practices and promoting Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) are perceived as best interventions by the trainees to address the problems of lack of improved technologies for small farmers, unorganized market, lack of institutional resources and lack of agri mechanization in their countries.

Authors: Marmitt Rosi Kelly Regina , De Lara Bonotto Danusa
Published: March 2022

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de pesquisa qualitativa desenvolvida com um grupo de professoras participantes de um programa de extensão. O objetivo consiste em demarcar o processo de escrita realizado por professoras de matemática como um movimento formativo e catalisador de desenvolvimento profissional docente. Para a análise das narrativas produzidas pelas professoras nos diários de formação e de planejamento das atividades de modelagem utilizamos a Análise Textual Discursiva. Estabelecemos uma categoria a priori a qual trata dos saberes docentes e emergiram duas categorias: o processo de escrita e o grupo como um espaço/tempo de desenvolvimento profissional. Neste texto apresentamos discussões acerca da segunda categoria, a qual possui duas subcategorias: 1) o diário como instrumento de reflexão e investigação da prática e do pensamento do professor, visto que sua utilização contribui para o reconhecimento de problemáticas advindas do contexto de trabalho do professor e 2) os desafios enfrentados na produção de narrativas, os quais revelam que o professor de Matemática não possui o hábito de escrever, entretanto, ao tomar consciência desta necessidade projeta o desenvolvimento do processo de escrita para a sua sala de aula. Disso, demarcamos o processo de escrita como um movimento formativo catalisador de desenvolvimento profissional docente.

Published: March 2022

Esse estudo teve como objetivo propor a articulação entre a teoria e a prática por meio da formulação de problemas na formação inicial do futuro professor de Matemática. Para isso, esse texto apresenta discussões sobre um problema que pode ser de qualquer universitário, guiado pela pergunta: como o estudante lida com os fatores econômico e tempo para almoçar sem prejuízos com a sua rotina na universidade? Inicialmente, esse estudo foi concebido durante a realização de uma atividade do Projeto Integrado de Prática Educativa, vinculado à disciplina de Ensino de Matemática Através de Problemas, posteriormente, foi retomado e ampliado. Esse amadurecimento foi dilatado com aportes teóricos da Educação Matemática, com autores que trabalham com a Resolução de Problemas e a Formulação de Problemas. Utilizamos como metodologia, o estudo de caso. Como resultado, apontou-se para a necessidade da reflexão-ação-reflexão na forma/ação inicial do futuro professor de Matemática e na quebra de paradigmas do estudante universitário que está acostumado a resolver problemas, muitas vezes de forma automatizada, e não formular problemas. Espera-se que esse trabalho possa contribuir para a formação dos futuros professores de Matemática, para professores que lecionam no ensino superior em componentes curriculares que buscam a articulação entre a teoria e a prática do cotidiano e para professores que lecionam matemática na educação básica.
New and little-known species of Englerodendron (Leguminosae-Detarioideae) from Central Africa, with a revised key to the genus
Authors: Lachenaud Olivier , Bidault Ehoarn
Published: March 2022

Background and aims – The genus Englerodendron (Leguminosae-Detarioideae) has recently been enlarged to include Isomacrolobium and Pseudomacrolobium, and currently includes 18 tropical African species. The recent discovery of a new species in Gabon has led us to re-evaluate the delimitation of several taxa in the genus.Material and methods – This paper is based on field work by the authors in Gabon, and on a study of herbarium material from BR, BRLU, K, LBV, MO, P, and WAG; normal practices of herbarium taxonomy have been applied.Results – Englerodendron nguemae is described and illustrated as a new species, endemic to Gabon. It is remarkable for the variation in its leaves, which may be 2-jugate, 1-jugate, or unifoliolate on the same plant. The species is most similar to E. brachyrhachis, but the latter has uniformly 2-jugate leaves; E. nguemae also differs in its longer and more broadly winged leaf rachis (if present) that is convex (not flat) above, its stamen filaments pubescent at the base, and its glabrous style. Several collections from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, previously associated with E. obanense, are considered here to represent two different taxa. One of them, E. macranthum (a new combination and name at new rank based on Macrolobium isopetalum var. macranthum, which is raised to species status), is endemic to the Mayombe range and differs from E. obanense by its inflorescences branched from the base or nearly so, and its shorter 1-seeded pods. The other taxon, still imperfectly known and here treated as Englerodendron sp. A, is endemic to the Kivu region; it differs from E. obanense by its large foliaceous stipules and from E. conchyliophorum by the lack of a basal auricle on the stipules. In addition, the first records of E. leptorrhachis from Equatorial Guinea, and of E. conchyliophorum from the Republic of the Congo, are documented, and a revised key to the now 21 species (one undescribed) of Englerodendron is presented.

Review on Immuno-Oncology Agents for Cancer Therapy
Authors: Dhakad Ganesh G. , Shirsat Sangita P. , Tambe Kaveri P.
Published: March 2022

Until recently, cancer therapy comprised of four main types of treatment: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy. Over the past decade, immuno-oncology (IO) has emerged as a novel and important approach to cancer treatment through the stimulation of the body’s own immune system to kill cancer cells. This newly recognised method of treating cancer is rapidly developing, with many accelerated approvals by the US Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency in 2019. Several therapeutic classes have emerged within IO, and are the focus of this review article. In particular, the immune checkpoint inhibitors have had remarkable success across multiple malignancies, and are the most well-established therapeutic class of IO agents to date. Biomarker testing for the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) checkpoint target has been developed and is now obligatory before treatment with pembrolizumab (Keytruda, Merck) when used for non-small-cell lung carcinoma, gastric cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and cervical cancer, as well as before treatment with atezolizumab (Tecentriq, Roche) when used for urothelial carcinoma. However, ambiguity remains as to the relevance of PD-L1 expression for checkpoint inhibition therapy for other tumour types. More recently, combining IO agents with conventional therapies has been evaluated with some significant improvements in patient outcomes. While IO agents are rapidly changing the standard of care for people with cancer, there are still many challenges to overcome in terms of managing their toxicities and ensuring that healthcare systems, such as the NHS, can afford the high cost of these therapies. The IO pipeline also includes chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies and cancer vaccines, both of which show great promise for the future but have their own unique toxicity and cost-effectiveness issues.

Significance and Role of Industrial Inputs in Productivity of Large-scale Manufacturing in Karachi: A Correlation Analysis
Authors: Iqbal Muhammad Jawed , Mahar Gohar Ali
Published: March 2022

In an industrial process, productivity is a basic concern. A combination of production input, namely employment, labour cost, energy and raw material cost, result in value addition expressed as value- added. The effective role of each input in the manufacturing process can be assessed through the influence of variables involved. Pearson's correlation coefficients show various degrees of effects through interrelationships of variables and bring out the outstanding or relatively more important role of one or more variables (inputs) in specific combinations in the manufacturing process. The paper in hand analyses the interrelationship of structuring variables in the major groups of manufacturing in Karachi using Pearson's correlation measurement techniques. The role of the variables has been assessed through sets of ten correlations in each of the six major industrial categories. The results of the analyses show the leading or the dominant contribution of the variables towards value addition and productivity. In the case of the textile industry, strong correlations are indicated between Value Added (VA) and 'Other Cost' (OC) and Average Daily Employment (ADE) and Employment Cost (EC) and also VA and ADE. For chemical and chemical products strong correlation exist between VA and OC, OC and IC (industrial cost) and ADE and EC. In respect of the wearing apparel category, a strong correlation occur between OC and IC, VA and OC, ADE and EC. Basic metal industry shows strong correlation in all ten sets of relationships, thus every variable exercising an equal influence. The food and beverage group has only two strong correlations that are VA and OC, IC, and OC. In the case of motor vehicles and trailers, strong relationships are indicated by all sets of correlation ship.

Located in Lesser Himalayas, under the influence of main boundary thrust (MBT), this area developed several thrust systems from north to south including Hazara thrust, Haro thrust, Sangoda thrust, Rupper thrust. The main regional Hazara thrust has Precambrian rock in its hanging wall thrusted over the Jurassic Samna Suk formation. In lower detachment, there are several local thrust systems within Jurassic-Eocene strata.These thrusts trends in NE-SW direction indicating NW-SE compressional regime with the hanging wall Drag folds showing southward vergence. The stereographic plot of mesoscopic scale folds shows at least three folding events and varying plunging directions between the range of 240° and 290°. Most of the folds are plunging towards west and this is yet another indicator of east-west compressional forces. These folds orientations suggest transpressional deformation rather than pure compression. The balanced restore section shows that there is about 2.5 km shortening along 15 km restored section which makes about 16% shortening along the section.

Authors: Voce Alexandra , Sullivan Tom
Published: March 2022

In 2021 the Drug Use Monitoring in Australia program collected survey (n=2,223) and urinalysis (n=716) data from police detainees across Australia. Seventy-seven percent (n=553) of detainees who provided a urine sample for analysis tested positive to at least one type of drug, less than in 2020 (82%). Around half of the detainees tested positive to methamphetamine (50%) or cannabis (45%), one-fifth tested positive to benzodiazepines (18%) or opioids (18%), whereas very few tested positive for cocaine (2%) or MDMA (<1%). Self-reported past-month methamphetamine use was stable for most of 2021 until it declined in October–November, while past-month cannabis use increased in July–August. Nationally, methamphetamine and heroin each cost $50 per point on average, whereas cannabis cost $17 per gram.

Coastal groundwater is extremely vulnerable to land-based human activities and seawater intrusion. In Brazil, a developing country, several coastal cities are undergoing recent urbanization with no planning, giving rise to problems such as groundwater overexploitation, sanitation, and chemical contamination. This study provides seasonal and spatial groundwater chemical and microbiological characterization of a recently urbanized coastal region, discussing contamination and salinization. The recent urbanization event affected both shallow and deep wells represented by the extensive presence of Escherichia coli on groundwater and nitrate, ammonium, arsenic, and lead (NO3-, NH4+, As and Pb) levels above groundwater safety guidelines. In contrast, iron and manganese (Fe and Mn) concentrations above the safety limit were associated with lithological enrichment, but might also restrict groundwater consumption. In addition to chemical and microbiological contamination, salinization of coastal aquifers did not pose a threat in this shoreline, but brackish groundwater was found in one well influenced by a coastal lagoon sandbar opening that allowed seawater to enter the aquifer.

Bullous lung disease are associated with COPD. Bullectomy is the main treatment for giant bullae and complicated patients. The aim was to evaluate predictors of outcome of surgical management of bullous lung disease. This was a descriptive prospective study, 40 patients with bullous lung disease had bullectomy. It was accomplished in our University (April 2018 to July 2020). Operative and post-operative variables were noted. Post-operative air leak was related to lung pathology (p = 0.006), degree of the disease on CT chest (p = 0.001) and FEV1 / FVC ratio (p = 0.009). Regarding ICU stay ≥ 2 days, a correlation was noted with medical comorbidities (p = 0.037) and surgical technique (p = 0.004), while hospital stay > 7 days was linked to lung pathology (p = 0.006), degree of the disease on CT chest (p = 0.001) and FEV1 / FVC ratio (p = 0.009). Patients with diffuse or localized lung disease and decreased respiratory functions had clinical and functional improvement after surgery. Factors as lung pathology and diffuse lung affection were considered as predictors for prolonged air leak > 7 days and hospital stay > 7 days.

The objective of this study is to examine the role of marketing communication and information sharing in firm performance. In this direction, the relationship between marketing communication, information sharing, customer retention, customization and firm performance is examined. A survey instrument was preferred in this study for data collection. A questionnaire was designed by using already revealed scale items related to the marketing communication, information sharing, customer retention, customization and firm performance in previous studies. 500 questionnaires were distributed among the employees of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand. Data were analyzed by using statistical tool; Partial Least Square (PLS). It is found that marketing communication has positive effect on customer retention which further lead to the firm performance. Additionally, information sharing has positive effect on customization which lead to the firm performance. Therefore, marketing communication and information sharing has central importance to promote SMEs performance.
Vinculación Docencia y Extensión: Experiencia de la Universidad Abierta para Adultos, República Dominicana
Authors: Tavárez Ana , Ventura Pedro Emilio
Published: March 2022

La Universidad como institución social enarbola tres   funciones sustantivas: la docencia, la investigación y la   extensión. Estos pilares permiten articular el quehacer   académico e institucional para lograr la concreción   de la filosofía que justifica su razón de ser. En el caso   de la Universidad Abierta para Adultos, además de   las tres funciones anteriores, se contempla también   la gestión, la cual es concebida como el conjunto de   acciones desarrolladas por el personal académico   y administrativo para garantizar la calidad de los   procesos educativos. A pesar de la declaración de   las funciones sustantivas como parte inherente, las   prácticas que sustentan el modelo de la universidad   representan un gran reto para desarrollar acciones   puntuales que den cuenta de la articulación entre la   docencia y la extensión.      

A partir de esa inquietud se ha concebido un plan que   impulse esa dualidad desde el desarrollo de la docencia, más concretamente en la práctica docente. Es de   gran interés para la académica concebir actividades   que permitan fusionar las funciones sustantivas del   quehacer universitario a través de la planificación   y puesta en marcha de estrategias de enseñanza y   aprendizaje.            

De esta motivación surge la propuesta de abrazar   la docencia y la extensión en una buena práctica   didáctica durante el desarrollo de las asignaturas que   cursan los participantes de la UAPA. El objetivo se   caminó a compartir la experiencia de la UAPA respecto   a la vinculación social y compromiso comunitario con   la participación de la comunidad universitaria.
Inserción de innovación, emprendimiento en tiempo de pandemia en la carrera de economía agrícola de la UNAN-Managua
Authors: López Mario Ramón
Published: March 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la inserción de temáticas de innovación, el emprendimiento y la ocurrencia de la pandemia en la carrera de economía agrícola de la facultad de ciencias económicas de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua (UNAN-Managua). Las preguntas orientadoras son: ¿Cómo insertar transversalmente el tema de la innovación el emprendimiento en un plan de estudio? ¿Qué se puede aprender del proceso de inserción de estos temas? ¿Y qué condiciones activar para mantener la dinámica en todo el plan de estudio de una carrera, cuando suceden hechos que generan una disrupción generalizada? El material y el método fueron: revisión bibliográfica, análisis documental del perfil profesional, de programas de curso y un diálogo abierto con los profesores del departamento académico. Se ha utilizado el programa de análisis de texto MAXQDA versión 2020. Al respecto se ha encontrado un conjunto de iniciativas de enseñanza e investigación relacionadas con el tema. Hay un conjunto de asignaturas claves del plan de estudio para construir tres fases de inserción, dada la existencia de una capacidad de enseñanza creada embrionaria que ha recibido cursos y capacitaciones sobre innovación y emprendimiento, pero no sobre una pandemia. Se concluye que la inserción es transversal y escalonada con tres fases: primera fase de inducción temprana, segunda fase de entrenamiento básico y la tercera fase de aplicación fundamental.

Authors: Ortega Ramos Yeceisky Yajerik
Published: March 2022

La Cátedra de la Tierra, “Dr. Gonzalo Cruz Calderón”, del Departamento de Ciencias Naturales de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional Francisco Morazán (UPNFM), es una estrategia educativa institucional que incluye una amplia gama de divulgación del conocimiento científico y la realización de acciones prácticas (investigaciones, trabajos de campo, campañas en línea, seminarios, conferencias, trabajos de laboratorio, recolección de muestras geológicas, entre otros), para fortalecer una conciencia proactiva hacia el equilibrio del planeta tierra a través de la planificación y ejecución de dichas actividades en los diferentes programas académicos de la universidad (pregrado y programas especiales).

El programa educativo persigue el mejoramiento de las condiciones ambientales y de desarrollo sostenible en todas las sedes universitarias del país de la UPNFM, introduciendo y trabajando con una variedad de metodologías apropiadas para tal fin, en el contexto del sistema educativo universitario (metodologías presenciales, a distancia y virtual). El programa se fundamenta en el principio y lema universitario de “Educar para transformar”, concibiendo y proponiendo a través de la educación, la más eficiente y perdurable intervención hacía el logro y consolidación de una conciencia que asegure la sostenibilidad y el equilibrio del planeta tierra.

 En ese sentido, mediante dicho programa educativo, entre la sétima u octava semana de cada período académico universitario desde el año 2012, se planifica y genera una serie de actividades gestoras del proceso de sensibilización ambiental, las cuales a su vez son conformadas y ejecutadas por educandos, personal docente y personal administrativo del área de ciencias naturales de la universidad, pero como una extensión y vinculación social del departamento hacia el resto de la comunidad universitaria, son beneficiarios de dicho conocimiento y sensibilización ambiental los educandos de todas las distintas facultades, carreras y sedes donde funciona la UPNFM. Asimismo, se describen algunas experiencias obtenidas en el desarrollo y crecimiento de este importante programa educativo.
