India's trade corridors: A shopping time model analysis for IMEEC and INSTC
Authors: Bastanifar Iman , Khan Kashif Hasan , Shah Huda , Koch Halil
Published: December 2024

This study evaluates India's trade potential and financial efficiency within two key corridors: the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC) and the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC). This study concentrates on maximizing transaction time savings through the holding of additional real money balances, taking into account the influence of distance. An adjusted shopping time model, incorporating distances and service areas, is used. Dynamic programming calculates optimal transaction times for India's trade with members of both IMEEC and INSTC. The opportunity costs of holding money (OC) are introduced as a welfare criterion to compare the trade benefits. The study finds that distance significantly influences the optimal quantity of money for trade. India benefits more from trade with IMEEC members like the UAE, Italy, and France, and INSTC members such as Russia and Kazakhstan. IMEEC offers greater trade payoffs for India compared to INSTC, making it a more strategic option for enhancing India's global trade position. The research provides valuable insights for policymakers in optimizing trade routes and financial strategies, leveraging India’s involvement in both IMEEC and INSTC for economic gain.
Evaluating diversification approaches: A comparative analysis of traditional, Islamic indices in the United Kingdom, and alternative investment options
Authors: Abdullah Ahmad Monir , Abdullah Maizatulakma , Hassan Mohamat Sabri , Abdullah Hamdy
Published: December 2024

This study explores the diversification potential of the United Kingdom’s (UK) conventional and Islamic stock indices, Bitcoin, gold, crude oil, and the GBP/USD exchange rate from 2011 to 2022 using methodologies such as VECM, MODWT, MGARCH-DCC, and CWT. The findings indicate that UK indices, gold, and Bitcoin respond to changes in crude oil prices and GBP/USD rates, whereas GBP/USD and crude oil show low correlation, offering diversification benefits. Gold consistently maintains a low correlation with UK indices during global disruptions, such as the 2020 pandemic and the 2022 Ukraine-Russia conflict, reinforcing its reliability as a diversification asset. However, Bitcoin shows potential as a diversification tool despite its high volatility, which is a concern. Crude oil’s effectiveness as a diversification asset diminishes for holding periods beyond 64 trading days. The study also reveals that the global financial crisis significantly impacted both UK Islamic and conventional indices, challenging the role of the Islamic index as a safe haven and suggesting that Shariah screening may not necessarily shield Islamic markets during economic downturns. These findings provide investors with essential insights into selecting equity indices and commodities for portfolio diversification and underscore the importance of advanced methodologies to understand correlation and volatility dynamics.
City digital economy development and foreign divestment: Evidence from China
Authors: Yu Qing-Rui , Che Bo-Yu
Published: December 2024

This research examines the city’s digital economy development and foreign investment in China. Foreign investment plays a vital role in China’s economic rise. How to prevent foreign investment exiting China is critical for ensuring stability in foreign investment in China. This study focuses on the impact and mechanism of the city’s digital economy development on foreign divestment. Based on Probit and Tobit regression models, using a comprehensive dataset of cities and listed companies from 2011 to 2020, we find that the China's city digital economy development has significantly reduced foreign divestment decisions and the amount of foreign divestment. China's city digital economy development positively affects foreign divestment by reducing financial constraints and financing costs. The influence of city digital economy development on foreign divestment is significant in technology-intensive enterprises and capital-intensive enterprises and not significant in labor-intensive enterprises. These findings present new practical insights for guiding the digital transformation of enterprises, along with reinforcing the development of new information technology infrastructure and enhancing internet coverage, fostering a favorable financial environment, and implementing differentiated policies for the development of digital economy across industries.

Authors: Tran Hanh-Phuong Thi , Chau Kim-Ngan Thi
Published: December 2024

This study examines the developing collaborative teaching capacity for language pedagogy students in Vietnam. Collaborative teaching is one of the effective teaching methods that helps improve the quality of education, comprehensively develop learners' capacity, and meet the requirements of modern society. This study aims to investigate the relationship between impact strategies and the development of collaborative teaching capacity. A survey was conducted on 350 fourth-year students of Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, An Giang University, and Dong Nai University. Two main elements of collaborative teaching capacity are the capacity to develop lessons and the capacity to organize reading comprehension lessons in a cooperative manner. Questionnaire, observation sheets, and exercises are used to collect data. In addition, SPSS statistical tools show that the impact results have had significant effects on developing collaborative teaching capacity. Moreover, the qualitative analysis method reveals that the following impact strategies have a significant influence on teaching: (1) process to develop collaborative teaching capacity in reading comprehension lessons; (2) develop a system of exercises to practice the component skills of co-teaching capacity; (3) flexibly apply the combined online and face-to-face teaching method, which has a certain influence in teaching. The study’s results hold theoretical and practical significance, such as policy planning in relation to education innovation, teaching method improvement in pedagogical universities, and literature students in efforts to develop learning capacity.
Empirical investigation on sectoral inequality, gender empowerment, education, and income inequality in Indonesia: Dynamic panel approach
Authors: Espa Vitriyan , Suratman Eddy , Wahyudi
Published: December 2024

Sectoral inequality exemplifies the baseline condition; despite the same significant sectoral growth, high sectoral inequality also leads to high income inequality. This is because sectors with low contributions and sectors with high contributions to regional income will provide very unequal income for the workforce involved in them. Each variable may have a different relationship in the long term. This study aimed to investigate the short-term and long-term effects of Sectoral Inequality, Gender Empowerment Index (GEI), and Average Years of Schooling (AYS) on Income Inequality in Indonesia. The Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), based on panel data for the period 2015–2022, serves as the data analysis method. Each variable requires a different time to influence variations in other variables. The results show that there are no significant effects, either in the short run or in the long run, between Sectoral and Income Inequality. In the long-term, GEI does not affect Income Inequality but has an effect in the short-term. Meanwhile, AYS has a significantly negative effect on Income Inequality in the long-term and short-term. The practical implication of these research findings is that efforts from the government are needed to reduce Sectoral Inequality before encouraging equal distribution of sectoral growth to avoid high income inequality.
A linguistic study of politeness in academic request emails sent by undergraduates to their professors in Jordan
Authors: Kayed Murad Al , Al-Shboul Othman , Ahmad Wajed Al , Ammari Raeda
Published: December 2024

The present study explored how Jordanian EFL students employed politeness strategies in academic request emails sent to their professors. The sample of the study included 116 request emails. These emails were collected between October 2023 and December 2023. The researchers examined each email and codified them according to the level of directness, forms of address, and politeness modifiers. The findings of the study demonstrated students’ lack of the appropriate pragmatic knowledge to form their request emails. Moreover, this study found that students relied for the most part on the following three politeness modifiers:  interrogatives, embedded sentences and the politeness marker “please”. The study concluded that the lack of linguistic knowledge, the limited experience in writing academic emails, the impact of Arabic culture, the effect of technology in the format of emails and the absence of feedback from professors were the major reasons for composing inappropriate request emails by Jordanian EFL students. EFL teachers may use the findings of the study to improve the linguistic knowledge of students in writing formal academic requests.

Data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques were carried out by presenting data, reducing data, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that from the development aspect, looking at the very important function of Linmas, the development of the quality of Satlinmas resources must be carried out for the benefit of the people of Muntang Tapus village. Then in terms of presenting prizes to improve the performance of Linmas, it has not really become a special concern, because from a budget perspective and the rules are not clear, even though there should be. Then in terms of the Sat Linmas motivation, namely because of a sense of responsibility that has been mandated, then also because of a sense of wanting to provide a sense of security to the community. While the aspect of HR planning, the kelurahan has planned to improve the quality of Linmas members through training activities and in the future it is not possible in terms of improving education, from the aspect of compensation itself Sat Linmas in an effort to improve performance can not be done optimally, but it is possible in the future to make compensation to improve performance. the work spirit of Limas members. As for the communication aspect, Linmas must maintain good communication with the community and the government in the hope of providing good service to the community as a manifestation of the duties and roles of Linmas. For supporting factors, namely good teamwork that has been embedded in the hearts of every member of the Linmas and a strong sense of family and mutual need for each other are supporting factors in supporting the performance of Linmas as a form of building cooperation. Then the quality of Linmas members who are capable and enjoy and prey in the progress that has been achieved are best placed in each Kelurahan, so the limited number or quantity can be covered by the quality of the Linmas. While the inhibiting factor is that the lack of the number of Linmas members affects the performance to show the role of the Linmas in the community, problems arise when a disaster in the community occurs.

Taro (Colocasia esculenta L.) is a tuberous plant called bonggol that grows underground. The high carbohydrate content of taro makes it a top choice as a staple food when looking for alternatives to rice. Taro has great potential to be processed into various food products to help prevent various nutritional problems and generate additional income for local communities. Ngada Regency is one of the districts that has its own natural strengths and is also rich in natural resources such as local food, one of which is taro yam. Quantitative research was used in this study. Data were collected in the form of secondary data or data obtained from books, journals, newspapers, statistical data and other sources. The technique used for this research study is literature study. Ngada Regency has considerable potential for taro yams. Almost all of Ngada Regency cultivates taro yams. However, taro yam processing in Ngada Regency is still quite simple, such as steaming, frying, making compote and animal feed. The people of Ngada Regency certainly have great potential in processing taro yams into industrial raw materials and materials for food needs, such as turning taro yams into taro rice and taro flour. This needs special attention from the local government in empowering the natural resources owned, to open up business potential and encourage job creation for the community, as well as MSME businesses. Ngada Regency is the third largest district on Flores Island in terms of taro yam cultivation, with 2,916 taro yams produced.

Apesar de ser um processo fisiológico, a maioria das mulheres desconhece ou não sabe reconhecer as alterações hormonais, físicas e emocionais envolvidas nesse processo de declínio estrogênico decorrente a menopausa, o que pode impactar, de alguma forma, suas atitudes e práticas. Tem-se como objetivo averiguar o conhecimento, atitudes e práticas de mulheres climatéricas, usuárias da Atenção Básica do SUS – Recife, em relação ao climatério e menopausa. O estudo é descritivo, de corte transversal, analítico e comparativo, realizado por meio de um inquérito do tipo CAP (conhecimento, atitude e prática) com 340 mulheres de idade entre 35 e 65 anos no período de abril a junho de 2017. Foram utilizados três instrumentos: questionário sóciodemográfico e estado menstrual (pré-peri ou pós menopausa); Escala de Conhecimento da Menopausa (MKS); Escala de Atitude Menopausal (SAM). Destace-se como resultados que maioria das mulheres (95%) era desejosa de mais informações e de melhor orientação, tanto sobre o climatério/menopausa quanto ao uso das terapias de reposição hormonal. Em relação às práticas, uma minoria fez uso da reposição hormonal (12,9%). Dentre as atitudes vale destacar que a maioria das entrevistadas concordou que as mulheres devem procurar um profissional de saúde nessa fase (97,6%). Conclui-se que há um déficit no conhecimento em relação ao climatério e menopausa, apontando para a necessidade de estratégias de educação em saúde visando influenciar positivamente atitudes e práticas.
Saúde mental do profissional de saúde no contexto de vulnerabilidades: relato de experiência na construção de rodas de conversas em saúde prisional
Authors: Morcerf Cely Carolyne Pontes , Marques João Mazzoncini de Azevedo
Published: December 2024

Considerada uma área negligenciada dentro da saúde, a assistência a pessoas privadas de liberdade está inserida no grupo de estudos com populações marginalizadas, sendo um dos seguimentos mais estigmatizados e prioritários para abordagens em saúde. Porém a visão de fragmentação da pessoa humana em situação de privação de liberdade, reduz o poder de integração do cuidado e da criação de ações resolutivas em saúde mental de profissionais que trabalham diariamente com tais populações. Esses trabalhadores atuantes em penitenciárias apresentam um maior nível de vulnerabilidades para o desenvolvimento de transtornos mentais comuns, pela rotina em um ambiente de esgotamento mental, pelo impacto do processo de marginalização, agravados pelo desamparo, por fragilidades de vínculos e pela desesperança em um ambiente que possui um imaginário popular de periculosidade e violência. Na tentativa de desmistificar estigmas e de realizar ações de educação em saúde, com uma abordagem preventiva e focada no debate de fatores protetores e adoecedores de questões físicas, mentais e sociais no sistema carcerário direcionado à saúde dos trabalhadores, foi realizada pela medicina de família e comunidade a construção de uma metodologia ativa reflexiva e terapêutica, tendo como pauta a mudança de atitude e a visão diagnóstica de ameaças e oportunidades para a criação de intervenções futuras no contexto de saúde prisional. O presente trabalho relata uma experiência de construção pedagógica e de metodologia de educação em saúde associada a uma revisão narrativa reflexiva de literatura sobre a saúde mental integrada à saúde física neste cenário de extrema vunerabilidade social.

A Paradigm Shift Toward Systems Thinking in Colleges of Agriculture
Authors: Alford Katrina , Stedman Nicole , Bunch JC , Baker Shirley , Roberts Grady
Published: December 2024

The world of the 21st Century is a world that is constantly changing. New approaches to higher education need to be considered so graduates can adapt to an increasingly complex world. This article will discuss why and how systems thinking can be developed and utilized in colleges of agriculture. Based on a thorough review of the literature, we propose two new models to advance systems thinking in colleges of agriculture. The first model demonstrates potential outcomes that may occur when matching a learner’s level of conceptualization to the type of problem they are addressing. The second model shows how systems thinking skills should be incorporated into the curriculum via experiential learning to assist individuals in their progression of systems thinking growth. Recommendations for practice and additional research are provided.

AUTOPERCEPÇÃO DE RISCO PARA COVID-19: PADRÕES DE COMPORTAMENTO NA POPULAÇÃO DE ASSENTADOS EM DOIS MUNICÍPIOS DE MATO GROSSO, BRASIL
Authors: Bassetto Karolyne Vieira
Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has recorded numerous cases and deaths since its beginning. The disease initially affected the upper social classes, but spread quickly among vulnerable populations, with a greater impact in areas with poor basic sanitation and access to health services. Studies show a higher incidence of hospitalizations and deaths among these groups due to differentiated exposure to the virus. This study aimed to evaluate the self-perception of risk related to COVID-19 in settled people and their associations, and to verify adherence to the protective measures adopted by this population to mitigate the risks of COVID-19 infection, in the municipalities of Sinop and Juara in Mato Grosso. 101 residents of settlements were interviewed using the COVID-19 Social Thermometer instrument. The data were tabulated in Microsoft Office Excel 2010 spreadsheets and imported for analysis using SPSS version 22 for descriptive analysis and RStudio version 4.1.1 for binary logistic regression. It was possible to observe that the interviewed population had good adherence to protective measures, including vaccination. It was also possible to observe which portions of this population have a high self-perception of risk of developing severe disease in case of being affected by COVID-19, where most of the characteristics are related to issues of social vulnerability.

Published: December 2024

This article examines the trajectory of Waldir Pinto Montenegro Matos, a prominent educator in the south of Bahia, with an emphasis on the contributions of her pedagogical practices and the significant educational legacy she left for the region. The analysis is conducted from a gender perspective, considering the barriers and challenges faced by a woman in a predominantly male social and educational context. This study is part of an initial research on memory, municipalism and education in southern Bahia, between the 1940s and 1950s, carried out within the scope of the Graduate Program in Education of the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Bahia, in 2023. Waldir's work in the interior of the state, from his training to the creation of educational institutions, reflects a model of resistance and innovation, subverting gender and social norms. The study uses as a theoretical basis contributions on collective memory, cultural history, teacher development and gender, in order to understand its relevance for education and female empowerment in the region.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the inflammatory response in the hip joint in dysplastic dogs to compare laboratory findings of synovial fluid: nucleated cell count and its differential: mononucleated and polymorphonucleated cells, analysis of acute phase proteins: α1-acid glycoprotein, C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, with radiographic findings of the hip joint in dogs with symptomatic and Asymptomatic. A total of 30 dogs were evaluated in the experiment, arranged in 3 experimental groups. The first group included 10 healthy animals (Control Group - CG), the second 10 animals with symptomatic hip dysplasia (Group 1 - G1) and the third 10 animals with hip dysplasia without symptoms (Group 2 - G2). A significant increase in ESR was observed in the symptomatic group, corroborating the hypothesis that in animals with clinical signs of the disease they present inflammation in the hip joint. ESR is useful in evaluating the inflammatory process in symptomatic dogs, indicating an acute inflammatory process. On the other hand, the measurement of AGP and CRP by immunoturbidimetry do not confer plausible results of inflammation in osteoarthrosis of dysplastic dogs, making it an ineffective biomarker for monitoring the disease. It suggests further studies of other inflammatory biomarkers for the disease studied.

Published: December 2024

Preeclampsia was identified as one of the most serious complications of pregnancy, especially after 20 weeks of gestation. It was characterized by arterial hypertension (above 140/90 mmHg), presence of protein in the urine and damage to organs such as the liver, kidneys and central nervous system. This condition was recognized as one of the main causes of maternal-perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. According to WHO, the incidence of preeclampsia ranged between 3% and 10% of pregnancies, being more common in nulliparous women and more prevalent in developing countries.In the Latin American context, preeclampsia was reported to be the leading cause of maternal death, with alarming figures in countries such as Peru, where prevalence reached 13% in 2022, and a high percentage of perinatal mortality due to severe complications. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics estimated that more than 76,000 women died from hypertension complications in 2018. In Mexico, hypertension during pregnancy was responsible for numerous complications, affecting between 250,000 and 300,000 pregnant women annually, with more than 1,000 deaths.Management of preeclampsia included strict monitoring of maternal and fetal vital signs, the use of medications such as magnesium sulfate and corticosteroids to promote fetal development, and urgent medical intervention if the situation required it. Nurses played a key role in comprehensive care, through assessment, care planning and emotional support to families, which contributed to reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with this complication

The Torah or Pentateuch is one of the holy books believed by Jews and Muslims. However, Muslims believe that the Torah has been changed by its own followers, the Jews. There are many similarities between the stories found in the Tanakh (Old Testament) with Muslim accounts, namely the Qurʾān and Ḥadīth, which include the story of Noah. The descriptions of Noah’s attitude towards his son portrayed in the Old Testament and the Qurʾān respectively exhibit significant differences. Therefore, this article compares Noah’s attitude towards his son according to Judaism and Islamic perspectives. Through a comparative method, this study refers to the Old Testament (Book of Genesis) and the Qurʾān (Sūrat Hūd). Data were collected from Jewish scholars’ interpretations of the Torah as well as from the interpretations of the Qurʾān as representatives of Judaism and Islam respectively. The data are then compared to highlight the differences in Noah’s attitude towards his son between the holy scriptures of the two religions. In general, the Torah describes him both positively and negatively. His negative attitude raised some doubts which remain unresolved. On the other hand, in the Islamic account, Noah is depicted as being entirely virtuous and did not exhibit any vices towards his son.

Published: December 2024

Context: Diabetes mellitus (DM) in the elderly is followed by the incidence of sarcopenia, one of which is a decrease in muscle mass. Hyperglycemia and decreased nitric oxide (NO) levels in the elderly will affect the degradation and regeneration of skeletal muscle, thereby affecting muscle mass.

Aims: To determine the effect of NO and HbA1c levels on muscle mass in elderly with DM.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using purposive sampling techniques, and from the sample size formula, we get 30 elderlies with DM who visited the Geriatric Clinic. We take the serum for NO and HbA1c assays and muscle mass measurements by DXA. We used SPSS 22 for statistical analysis using the Shapiro-Wilk test for data normality, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression with a significance value of p<0.05.

Results: The BMI of subjects varied, with low average handgrip strength and normal TUG results. NO levels have a positive and significant effect on muscle mass, with a significant degree of 5 percent (p=0.003). HbA1c negatively and significantly affects muscle mass (p=0.04). The multiple correlation test results showed that NO and HbA1c significantly affected muscle mass (p=0.001).

Conclusion: There was a positive effect of nitric oxide levels on muscle mass in the elderly with diabetes mellitus. If NO levels increase, it promotes muscle mass growth, conversely, if NO levels decrease, it will reduce muscle mass in the elderly with DM.
