Authors: Doğan Uğur
Published: September 2024

Bu çalışma Yukarı Dicle Havzasında, Dicle Nehri vadisinin Bismil ve Batman arasında kalan kesiminde yapılmıştır. Çalışmada Dicle Nehri’nin Genç Dryas’daki soğuk ve Holosen’deki soğuk-sıcak iklim döngülerine tepkisinin ortaya konulması hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Dicle vadisinde bulunan 14 höyüğe ait arkeolojik veriler incelenmiştir. Nehrin 5-7 m sekisi üzerinde bulunan höyüklerdeki yerleşme ve terkedilme dönemleri ile küresel iklim döngüleri arasındaki ilişki sorgulanmıştır. Bazı höyüklerde yerleşme dönemi sırasında ve sonrasındaki nehir yatağının konumu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca Dicle Nehri ve kollarının 5-7 m sekisi üzerinde yer alan arkeolojik yerleşmelere olan (taşkın vb.) etkileri de saptanmıştır. Böylece bu sekiler üzerinde bulunan höyüklerdeki yerleşme ve kesinti dönemleri ile nehrin kazma ve biriktirme dönemleri arasındaki ilişki ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler ışığında Dicle Nehri ve kollarının Genç Dryas ve Holosen’deki soğuk iklim döngülerinde yataklarını görece kazdıkları, sıcak iklim döngülerinde ise vadi tabanında biriktirme yaptıkları sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu duruma bağlı olarak da yerleşmelerin nehrin kazma dönemlerinde vadi tabanlarında kurulabildiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Blühende Beziehungen: Botanische Praktiken im Zürich des 18. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Knittel Meike
Published: September 2024

Wie arbeiteten Botaniker abseits höfischer, universitärer und kolonialer Zentren? Am Beispiel Zürichs beleuchtet die Studie die Bedingungen für das Aufblühen der vormodernen Pflanzenkunde. Wie entwickelte sich Zürich zu einem Knotenpunkt in den transnationalen botanischen Netzwerken des 18. Jahrhunderts? Dieser Frage nachgehend leistet Meike Knittel einen Beitrag zur Erforschung der vormodernen Botanik abseits von Hafen-, Residenz- und Universitätsstädten. Johannes Gessner, der 1746 zusammen mit anderen naturkundlich Interessierten die Naturforschende Gesellschaft in Zürich gründete, deren Herbarium pflegte und sich um die Einrichtung eines botanischen Gartens in der Limmatstadt bemühte, dient dabei als zentrale Bezugsfigur für eine Untersuchung der Aktivitäten der Zürcher Pflanzenliebhaber, des Aufbaus und der Pflege ihrer translokalen Beziehungen sowie des hier koordinierten materiellen Transfers von Wissen in Form von Büchern, Herbarpflanzen und Samen. Deutlich werden dabei die ökonomischen und sozialen Verflechtungen erkennbar, die die Zürcher Botanik »aufblühen« ließen und in die Netzwerke einbanden, die sich auf dem europäischen Kontinent von Uppsala bis Pisa und von London bis Wien erstreckten und darüber hinaus bis nach Sibirien, Südafrika und Ostindien sowie in die beiden Amerikas reichten.
Das lange Leben der Avantgarde: Eine Theorie-Geschichte
Authors: Asholt Wolfgang
Published: September 2024

Historische Konstellationen und aktuelle Entwicklungen der Avantgarde-Theorien – von Dada bis zum KunstAktivismus der Gegenwart Dadaismus, Surrealismus, Konstruktivismus – die Avantgarden sind auch nach über hundert Jahren allgegenwärtig. Doch welche Bedeutung haben sie heute für die Kunst und Literatur? Ausgehend von den historischen Avantgarden und ihren Ismen im 20. Jahrhundert, über die Neo-Avantgarden der 1960er, bis hin zur zweiten Avantgarde und dem KunstAktivismus der Gegenwart, zeigt der Romanist Wolfgang Asholt, wie sich die Avantgarden und ihre Theorien entwickeln, gegenseitig bedingen, voneinander abgrenzen und welche Herausforderung sie für Kunst und Literatur darstellen. Zu diesem Zweck befragt er sie darauf, wie sie sich zu Cornelius Castoriadis’ Begriff des »Radikalen Imaginären« verhalten: Wie verändern die Avantgarden unsere Gesellschaft? Kann das Leben zur Kunst und die Kunst zum Leben werden? Und was kann der künstlerische Aktivismus heute von den Avantgarde-Theorien lernen? Wolfgang Asholts Untersuchung knüpft dort an, wo Peter Bürgers »Theorie der Avantgarde« ihr Scheitern proklamiert und Paul Mann ihren Theorie-Tod verkündet hat, um zu zeigen, dass die Avantgarden nach wie vor sehr lebendig sind.

The pump is designed and tested for conditions under which pump can increase fluid flow energy by transferring the work of the driving machine (electric motor) to the fluid through the blades. This mode of operation of the pump is called normal pump regime. In each system there are possibilities for some unpredictable cases, so even in operation of the pump unfavorable operating regimes may occur. Those regimes can occur in the case of transient behavior, that is when system is going from one equilibrium state to another one. Unfavorable operating regimes occur during shout down of electrical power, when connecting the motor incorrectly, in the case of breakdown of pipeline and in many other occasions. Guided by the fact that in exploitation unfavorable operating regimes are not that common, manufacturers are testing the pump only under normal pump regime and giving those diagrams in their catalogs. The truth is that those regimes are rare, but knowing that there isalways a risk of the pump to operate in one of unfavorable regime the importance of testing pump under those regime is big. Therefore, it is very important to know how the pump behaves in the entire working area in order to ensure such a system. In this work, an installation is presented that enables testing of the pump under all regimes, making complete characteristics of the pump, as well as theresults of measurements carried out for one inline pump.
HIGHLY SUPERHEATED STEAM FOR HYDROGEN GENERATION – Advantages and results

This paper presents an innovative technology for hydrogen generation based on highly preheated steam at 1200°C with energy from biomass. Biomass itself has relatively low hydrogen content, so in this process the H2 molecules come predominantly from steam. Another advantage is that the steam serves as the energy carrier for the process. In case of classical biomass gasification, when steam is added in order to increase hydrogen yield, additional energy input is required for the highly endothermic reactions with char and hydrocarbons. The whole reaction energy is supplied here by the sensible heat of steam, enabling an allothermal gasification process. The tests on the pilot facility for up to 200 kg/h biomass have demonstrated high hydrogen yield. The excess steam in the syngas was very useful, as it enables an easier treatment of the tars. It was possible to use the fixebed counter-current reactor. It brings a crucial advantage to the economy of the process, as it is very tolerable towards the input biomass. Based on the experience and results of the pilot facility, a demoplant was designed with an input of 4 t/h dry biomass. It is able to achieve a hydrogen output of 400 kg/h. Waste gas from the PSA, called tail gas, has still an important amount of chemical energy whichis recuperated in the process, resulting in an overall energy efficiency of 70%. A new tool forcalculating the economy of the presented system has been developed. It is possible to calculate the price of generated hydrogen for desired internal rate of return (IRR). The production costs, are in the range 2.4 to 3.7 €/kg H2, depending on the input biomass price. That is the lowest cost on the European market for green hydrogen, including that for hydrogen imported from North Africa.

The reserves of fossil fuels will eventually disappear or be reduced to such quantities that they will no longer be able to cover the sectors of final energy consumption (industry, transport, households, trade). For this reason, technologies are constantly being developed to make efficient and effective use of alternative and renewable energy sources, as well as other types of fuels that have potential but require special technologies to be used. In this sense, the combustion of gaseous fuels with a low calorific value, such as gasses produced as a by-product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic material (biogas or landfill gas) or technological gasses produced in certain production processes (blast furnace gas, gas from cupola furnaces, refinery gas, etc.) or gasses from mines, represents a significant potential that can be used as an alternative fuel. Since the middle of the last century, consideration has been given to the development of technologies that allow gasses that are considered waste gasses to be burned efficiently and safely. The disadvantage of gasses produced by various technological processes is the composition’s instability and, thus, the variability of heat output. If the heat output of a gaseous fuel is extremely low, this fuel cannot burn stably in burners of classic design, as the flame is then usually „blown off“ due to the low combustion rate of this fuel. This article presents the principle of burning gaseous fuels with extremely low heat output in a porous, inert medium. This technology enables efficient heat recovery between the combustion products and the fuel mixture (gaseous fuel + air), significantly extending the range of stable combustion of low calorific value gaseous fuels in various operating modes, which is impossible with classic design burners. This technology is efficient and enables minimal concentrations of components such as nitrogen oxides due to the uniform temperature distribution in the porous inert media of the burner.

This paper provides a holistic assessment of the Sustainable Development Goals’ (SDG) hortfalls and strengths through a comprehensive review of extant literature, spanning a wide array of sources across multiple sectors encompassing different geographical regions. Some of the identified shortfalls, among others, relate to the conflict and incompatibility between socioeconomic development goals and environmental sustainability, the multiplicity and relevance of targets and indicators, together with the issue of striking a balance between economic growth and environmental preservation. Conversely, the most notable strengths of the SDGs relate to the fact that they not only promote a worldwide vision for sustainable development but also prioritize goal setting within global governance and policy. The main purpose of this paper is to provide a deep understanding of the complex challenges and opportunities related to sustainable development and to empower practitioners, policymakers, institutions, and governments to gain a profound insight to implement the SDGs worldwide.

Published: September 2024

Bengaluru’s city’s growing employment opportunities and urban expansion, and severe traffic congestion is hurting workforce productivity and city competitive-ness. However, the city can use a transit-oriented development (TOD) strategy to address this. This study maps 2023 data on Bengaluru’s registered factories, shops, and commercial establishments (location and associated jobs) to assess current job proximity to, and density along, the city’s operational and under-construction metro network. We find that of the total mapped jobs in the Bengaluru Metropolitan Area, 28 percent are within 500 m of the nearest metro station, 59 percent within 1,000 m, and 85 percent within 2,000 m, considering Phases 1, 2, and 2A-2B of the metro network, which cover 172 km. Our study reveals that the lack of suitable properties, an enabling regulatory framework and incentives for redevelopment, and inadequate public infrastructure levels are the main barriers discouraging large businesses from locating near metro stations.

Infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV) is a harmful virus that is responsible for the remarkable economic loss of Litopenaeus vannamei culture. IHHNV was first observed in shrimps, which were characterized by light microscopy, SEM, and TEM. The infected shrimps showed severe morphological deformity, including reduced body size, bent rostrum, shrunken and twisted antenna, rough cuticles, shrunken eyes, and rigid muscles. The antennal segments of the infected shrimps were fused together, puffy, dented, bent, and rough, as observed under a scanning electron microscope. The affected shrimps also showed tumor-like growth (hyperplasia) at the lateral position of the carapace in which the gastrofrontal sulcus was bent. This hyperplasia was found to be soft. In addition, the connective tissue of the diseased shrimp was in a degraded state, and the muscle fibers were despoiled. The nucleus of the cells from the infected gill cells of the shrimps was almost occupied by viral icosahedral particles, which TEM revealed. These viral particles were also found in the cytoplasm in a scattered manner within the same cells and were identified as IHHNV, as confirmed by polymerase chain reaction.
The Imperishable Rays of Byzantinism. On the Occasion of the 85th Anniversary of the Birth of the “Mediterranean Soil Scientist” Academician S. S. Averintsev

Именуя академика С. С. Аверинцева «средиземноморским почвенником», автор использует слова самого ученого, стремясь подчеркнуть: во многом благодаря уникальным по своему научному масштабу, глубине и духовной значимости филологическим трудам исследователя, органично связанным с его культурфилософской метафизикой, наш современник открыл для себя Византию как историческую родину Православия, Одигитрию в горний мир, обрел надежные опоры для осознания духовных первооснов и самобытности русской национальной духовности.

Referring to Academician S. S. Averintsev “Mediterranean soil scientist”, the author uses the words of the scientist himself, trying to emphasize: largely thanks to the philological works of the researcher, unique in their scientific scale, depth and spiritual significance, organically connected with his cultural and philosophical metaphysics, our contemporary discovered Byzantium as the historical homeland of Orthodoxy, Hodegetria to the heavenly world, gained reliable support for understanding the spiritual principles and authenticity of Russian national spirituality.
The Struggle for the Komnenian Inheritance in the Light of S. S. Averintsev‘s Historiosophy: on the Role of the Mongols in the Restoration of Byzantium in 1261
Authors: Митрофанов А.Ю.
Published: September 2024

Статья А. Ю. Митрофанова посвящена развитию тезиса С. С. Аверинцева о культурном универсализме Константинополя и предлагает исследование отношений государств, появившихся на развалинах Византии после 1204 г., с монгольскими завоевателями. А. Ю. Митрофанов приходит к выводу о том, что разгром Батыем войск латинского императора Балдуина II де Куртене в 1242 г. предопределил не только усиление Никейской империи, но также последующие союзнические отношения никейских и трапезундских императоров с монголами. Это обстоятельство повлияло на победу Никейской империи в борьбе за комниновское наследство.

The article of A. Yu. Mitrofanov is devoted to the development of S. S. Avernitsev’s thesis about the cultural universalism of Constantinople and offers a study of the relations of the states, which appeared on the ruins of Byzantium after 1204 with the Mongol conquerors. A. Yu. Mitrofanov concludes that Batu’s defeat of the troops of the Latin Emperor Baldwin II de Courtenay in 1242 predetermined not only the strengthening of the Nicene Empire, but also the subsequent allied relations of the Nicene and Trebizond Emperors with the Mongols. This circumstance influenced the victory of the Nicene Empire in the struggle for the Komnenian inheritance.

Authors: Sutikno  , Winata A Yahya Surya , Tahir Muhlis , Purwanto Hery
Published: September 2024

Objective: Kangean Islands is a group of small islands in Sumenep Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia, which is administratively divided into three sub-districts, namely Arjasa District, Kangayan District, and Sapeken District. This archipelago has very large fisheries potential as seen from its contribution to the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of Sumenep Regency, but the utilization of the fisheries sector in this archipelago is still carried out traditionally and tends to be exploitative. This study aims to see the level of sustainability of fisheries sector management and recommend fisheries resource management strategies, in order to increase the economic added value of the fisheries sector and maintain the sustainability of fish resources and the environment in the archipelago.
 
Method: The analytical method used to analyze the degree of sustainability in fisheries resource management in the Kangean Islands is Rapid Appraissal for Fisheries (RAPFISH) with the Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) ordination technique. While the analytical tool used to compile a hierarchy of fisheries sector development strategies to increase economic added value is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP).
 
Results and Discussion: The results of the sustainability analysis in the management of the fisheries sector found that, of the five aspects identified, the results showed that the financial aspect and infrastructure aspect had the category of "Sustainable Sustainability", with values of each aspect of 63.113 and 53.885. While the other three aspects, namely: Human Resources (HR) Aspect, Natural Resources Aspect, and Social Aspect are included in the category of "Less Sustainable". Meanwhile, based on the results of the analysis of the hierarchy of fisheries sector development policies, it shows that the most priority policy to be carried out in the development of a sustainable fisheries sector is the "identification of investment potential and opportunities" program with a priority value of 46%. Furthermore, the strategy that must be chosen is to map the potential of the fisheries sector with a limiting value of 21%. With a Rater Agreement value strength of 0.472727 or 47%, it means that the informants agree in providing an assessment on the paired comparison questionnaire, in determining problems and strategies in the development of the fisheries sector in the archipelago.

Non-Audit Services (NAS) and Auditor Independence (AI): Moderating Role of Regulatory Environment
Authors: Eke Chinonso Karen , Onuoha Ugwoke Robinson , Isichei Ejikeme Emmanuel , Eze Ikechukwu Robert
Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the influence of non-audit services (NAS) on audit independence (AI) among non-financial companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). Specifically, it investigated the relationship between NAS fees and AI, with a focus on how regulatory quality moderates this relationship.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study is grounded in agency theory, which suggests that conflicts of interest may arise when auditors provide NAS, potentially compromising their independence. The research also explores the role of regulatory quality in mitigating such conflicts, contributing to the broader understanding of corporate governance in emerging markets.
 
Method: An ex-post facto research design was employed, analysing secondary data from 280 firm-year observations across 20 companies in nine industry groups on the NSE over a 15-year period (2006-2020). Audit independence was proxied by discretionary accruals, while NAS was measured using the NAS fee ratio (NFR) and the natural logarithm of NAS fees (LNNF). The hypotheses were tested using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) models with the aid of Stata v15.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings reveal that higher NAS fees (LNNF) are significantly associated with reduced audit independence, as indicated by increased discretionary accruals. However, this negative impact is moderated by the quality of the regulatory framework, which helps preserve AI. Contrary to initial expectations, the NAS fees ratio (NFR) was found to be positively associated with discretionary accruals, further emphasizing the critical role of regulatory quality in safeguarding audit independence.
 
Research Implications: The study underscores the importance of robust regulatory frameworks in maintaining audit independence in the presence of NAS. It offers practical insights for policymakers and regulators to enhance corporate governance and financial reporting integrity in Nigeria.
 
Originality/Value: This research contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence from an emerging market, demonstrating the significance of regulatory quality in moderating the relationship between NAS and audit independence. It offers valuable guidance for policymakers, regulators, and practitioners aiming to strengthen corporate governance practices.

Published: September 2024

A formação docente, em sentido mais amplo, é um dos indicadores da qualidade da educação e a formação continuada de professores tem sido considerada fulcral perante as transformações educacionais que correspondem às exigências sociais do século XXI. À luz dos estudos de Day (2001), Gatti (2006, 2008, 2013-2014), Nóvoa (2005, 2007, 2019, 2021), Imbernón (2010) e Barreto (2015), compreendemos a formação continuada de professores como domínio importante ao desenvolvimento profissional e à composição da identidade docente. Contemplamos, nesta pesquisa, o objetivo de compreender as ações de formação continuada de professores da educação básica de município mineiro de médio porte, relacionando as dimensões de composição da identidade docente e suas implicações para o desenvolvimento profissional. Consideramos os questionamentos: Quais ações, experiências e/ou estratégias de formação continuada foram propostas aos professores da educação básica na rede municipal de um município mineiro no período de 2017 a 2021? Quais dimensões da identidade docente são constituídas pelos professores nas propostas de formação continuada e que implicações apresentam no desenvolvimento profissional? Para responder a essas questões, trabalhamos com a abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, em uma investigação biográfica-narrativa, com foco na abordagem experiencial, delineada pelos pressupostos de Souza (2006), Finger e Nóvoa (2010), Clandinin e Conelly (2011). O trabalho de André (1983), com a proposta de análise de prosa, é o aporte para analisar as narrativas de cinco professoras da educação básica e interpretar as dimensões que as constituíram profissionalmente. A caracterização das dimensões identitárias foi destacada pelos aspectos motivacionais, sociorepresentacionais e emocionais presentes nas narrativas das professoras participantes. Como resultados, apontamos experiências esparsas de formação continuada distantes das dimensões mobilizadas como substanciais à profissão. Destacamos, ainda, a desarticulação das ações de formação continuada associadas às dimensões relevantes à composição da identidade docente e pouco favorecimento ao desenvolvimento profissional de professores. Palavras-chave: Formação continuada de professores. Dimensões da identidade docente. Narrativas de professores.

Authors: Ahmad Jamila Aliyu , Mustapha Rabi , Muhammad Aminu Ahmad
Published: September 2024

Background: Knowledge management (KM) is the process of employing systematic procedures to gather, create, manage, and distribute knowledge inside an organization. Manufacturing industries are faced with numerous challenges such as absence of skilled personnel, supply chain issues, digitization and automation challenges which can slow down the growth of the industries who are willing to improve performance. There is a need for manufacturing firms to integrate AI into their business while considering the mediating role of knowledge management processes to improve manufacturing firm performance. There is paucity of mediating factors necessary to bring about performance in manufacturing industries. These factors are necessary and relevant in enhancing the effect of AI in manufacturing industries that help managers and employees make quick and accurate decision, store knowledge for future use, improve creativity and help in innovation that bring about overall industry performance, hence, the study bridges this gap.. Aim: The aim of this study is to design an enhanced Emergent model of knowledge management processes using AI in manufacturing industries, by identifying relevant factors that can mediate between AI and Manufacturing Industries. Building on the knowledge base view theory, in the business domain, particularly manufacturing industries. This study covers five relevant mediating factors including knowledge management processes, communication and collaboration, information technology infrastructure, Risk management practices, Leadership and organizational alignment in manufacturing industries. Method: the study enhanced an emergent model of knowledge management process by addition of more mediating factors, through the review of relevant literatures, a total of five factors necessary for an overall manufacturing firm performance were identified Result: The addition of the aforementioned factors resulted in an enhanced emergent model that aids in manufacturing industry performance.

Published: September 2024

Background: In this paper, four-years (21st October, 2018 – 21st October, 2022) cryptocurrencies indicators such as OPP, CPP, HGP, LOP, and ATV for six (6) crypto assets with high market capitalization based on coin categorization/utilization were considered as explanatory (independent) variables to estimate crypto assets returns. Aim: This study seek to evaluate the relationship between crypto asset indicators and crypto market capitalization, so as to quantitatively review and establish that crypto market capitalization can easily be influenced by crypto indicators. Method: The study uses three-panel data models, the pooled OLS, fixed effect (FE) and random effect (RE) changes, to evaluate crypto assets returns for the cross-sectional data of these six crypto assets. Results: The study revealed that all three-panel models fit the data; the result also shows that FE and RE models explain about 62% and 50%, respectively of the return variance on the total market capitalization (MCap). While, Pooled OLS model could only explain 42% variation on the total market capitalization (MCap). The Hausman test result indicates that the FE model is an appropriate model to estimate the cross-sectional variables when compared to the RE model. Also, the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test statistic with corresponding p-value for FE and RE when compared to the pooled OLS are 32.117 (0.0000*) and 38.943 (0.0000*), respectively, indicating that both the FE and RE models are more appropriate than the Pooled OLS model when compared with each. The identified crypto indices employed are significant and positively affects the market capitalization of these crypto assets. Finally, the study reveals that crypto assets can be classified and considered as economic assets since they include monetary values and investors derive economic benefits in terms of holding gain/losses and other benefits

The Use and Usefulness of Integrated Reports in Decision Making – Evidence from the Users in Namibia
Authors: Kamotho Daniel , Moloi Tankiso , Halleen Simone
Published: September 2024

Purpose: The use and usefulness of integrated reports have in the recent time constituted a subject of debate in practice and academic with contradicting findings. However, integrated reports represent a development in corporate reporting necessitated by the growing demand by stakeholders to obtain balanced information about companies on which to make decisions. The aim of this paper is to investigate how users perceive the use and usefulness of Namibian listed companies' annual integrated reports (IRE) for decision-making. It also seeks to assess whether there are any significance differences in perceptions of the use and usefulness of IRE information among different user groups.
Methodology: Users of integrated reports were polled using a questionnaire survey method to collect primary data. The questionnaires were sent to representatives of stakeholders from NSX-listed companies as users. Descriptive statistics, such as one-way ANOVA, were used to evaluate the results.
Findings: The study examines the perceived usefulness of Integrated Reporting (IRE) components such as SPLOCI, SFP, and ER, finding their usefulness statistically significant for decision-making. The One-way ANOVA results indicate no significant differences in users’ perceptions of IRE’s usefulness, encouraging preparers to disclose necessary information confidently. However, two-way ANOVA reveals significant differences in decision usefulness attributes, suggesting certain IRE components are more useful. Consequently, Namibian companies may voluntarily disclose these components to meet stewardship obligations. .
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The results show that users of IRE produced by publicly traded companies in Namibia find it useful. Furthermore, it demonstrates that various user groups' views of the use and usefulness of IRE does not vary significantly. Regulators and standard setters tasked with implementing accounting principles/standards relevant to integrated reporting should be interested in the findings outlined in this paper. As a result, the findings could be beneficial to regulatory bodies in Namibia (e.g., the Public Accountants and Auditors Board) in improving the disclosure practices of listed companies in Namibia (e.g., on a voluntary basis) and increasing capital market transparency.
ALZHEIMER (AD) - A MULTIFACTORIAL NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE - A COHORT STUDY
Authors: Saragea Paula Denisa , Tudose Cristian
Published: September 2024

Situated within the broad spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is known for its complexity, heterogeneity, multiple genetic mutations, epigenetic and biochemical modifications, and irreversible progression from early stages characterized by deficits in the ability to encode and store new information to subsequent progressive cognitive, functional, behavioral decline. Objective: The conducted study aimed to compile conclusive statistics, identify genetic factors, and correlate them with environmental ones, thus highlighting the importance of developing evaluation programs and early introduction of medication in order to decelerate the progression of neurodegenerative processes. Materials and methods: The analytical, observational, retrospective study was conducted on an extended cohort of 2277 patients admitted with chronic neurological diseases to the Neurology Department of "Dr. Iacob Czihac" Clinical Military Emergency Hospital Iași from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. Among these, 219 patients were diagnosed with AD at various stages. Forty-three cases exhibiting genetic predisposition (19.63%) were selected and thoroughly analyzed based on medical records. Results: The study emphasizes the significant position of AD among chronic neurological diseases. Although the majority do not present hereditary antecedents (80.36%), predisposing conditions, environmental factors, stress, and the region of residence play fundamental roles in the disease's determinism. It is observed that individuals in the 60-70 age category (71.23%) from urban areas (63.01%), especially females (63.47%), have a higher probability of developing AD. Maternally transmitted Alzheimer's prevalence was 58.13%, while paternally inherited AD accounted for 32.55%, with only 4 cases having antecedents on both lines (9.30%). Conclusion: Unequivocally characterized by a vast etiology, AD is a multifactorial disorder resulting from the bilateral interaction and continuous corroboration of genetic and environmental factors.

Authors: Niati Sukur , Sartika Dewi
Published: September 2024

Capital structure is the balance between long-term debt and company capital. The source of capital itself can be obtained from debt sources and shareholder capital. which is also owned by the investor so that through a combination of these sources of funds, namely through debt and company capital, it can increase company profits. This study aims to determine the effect of return on assets, growth opportunity, sales growth, and asset structure on capital structure in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2021-2023. This research uses a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The population observed in this study were all energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, totaling 87 companies. The sample selection method in this study was determined by the purpose sampling method. The number of samples taken in this study were 20 companies. The results showed that the variable return on assets has no significant effect on capital structure, growth opportunity has a significant negative effect on capital structure, sales growth has a significant positive effect on capital structure, and asset structure has no significant effect on capital structure. This research implies that it is expected to provide input as a consideration for investors in making investments. In addition, this research is expected to contribute and refer to further research
Assessing the Impact of Asset Quality on Financial Performance: A Study of Kenyan Deposit Taking SACCOs

Published: September 2024

Saving and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs) have consistently employed various financial models to evaluate their financial performance. Nonetheless, recent research indicates a rise in the number of Sacco Societies facing financial challenges. These challenges have hindered their performance. Despite this, Saving and Credit Cooperative Societies have not adequately identified the factors contributing to financial distress or the extent of their impact on financial performance. The main objective of this study therefore, was to assess the impact of asset quality on financial performance. This study was anchored on Wrecker’s financial distress theory. It employed a correlation research design where a census study was conducted on all deposit taking Saving and Credit Cooperative Societies registered with the Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA). A data extraction sheet was used to collect panel data for all deposit taking Sacco Societies in Kenya for the period between 2018 and 2022. The study collected data from Audited Financial Reports which enhanced the validity and reliability of the data. Descriptive analysis and inferential analysis such as regression analysis and model specification tests was used to analyze data with the help of STATA software version 15. Using panel regression models, asset quality was regressed against financial performance. The results indicated that between 2018 to 2022 the asset quality ratio was in an increasing trend. The results also indicated that asset quality had a statistically negative significant impact on financial performance of deposit taking Sacco Societies (β1 =-1.118, 0.000<0.05). The study concluded that an increase in asset quality led to a significant reduction of financial performance and vice versa. The study recommended that saving and Credit Cooperative Societies should consider low level of asset quality to achieve higher financial performance.
