Published: August 2022

Exigências demandadas pela sociedade, governo e stakeholders para adoção de práticas de responsabilidade corporativa sustentável nas empresas e para a divulgação das mesmas, fez com que surgisse o Relato Integrado. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a busca por legitimidade a partir da evidenciação do disclosure voluntário relacionado à prática de responsabilidade corporativa sustentável em instituições financeiras de acordo com o relato integrado segundo o International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC). Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa e documental, a qual explorou os Relatos Integrados das instituições financeiras Itaú Unibanco e Bradesco do ano de 2018. Os resultados denotam que o Itaú Unibanco possui uma média levemente superior do nível de evidenciação dos elementos de conteúdo, presentes na estrutura do IIRC. Porém, percebeu-se semelhança no processo de divulgação de informações sustentáveis as quais excedem o exigido por lei. Concluiu-se que as mesmas divulgam consideráveis informações de maneira voluntária. A divulgação dessas informações pode oferecer legitimidade às organizações, o que pode trazer benefícios como credibilidade e prestígio, favorecendo a sobrevivência e o sucesso organizacional. O estudo trouxe contribuições no âmbito acadêmico, por aproximar a teoria discutida na academia com a prática encontrada nas empresas e, ainda, contribuições aos usuários das informações contábeis ao analisar informações pertinentes aos anseios cobrados pela sociedade. E ainda, contribuições no âmbito corporativo, ao proporcionar aos gestores comparar evidências dos RI com a estrutura conceitual do IIRC, permitindo assim, as empresas adequarem e reverem o alinhamento de suas relações com os stakeholders.
Análise da Literatura Empírica Sobre Estrutura de Propriedade no Mercado de Capitais Brasileiro
Authors: Brandão Isac De Freitas
Published: August 2022

A Teoria da Estrutura de Propriedade da Firma aborda conflitos de interesses entre insiders e acionistas externos e os custos decorrentes destes conflitos. Estrutura de propriedade corresponde aos direitos de propriedade mantidos por administradores e investidores que não têm função na administração. Empiricamente pode ser estudada a partir de três dimensões: concentração acionária, participação acionária e controle acionário. Este trabalho analisa o estágio atual da pesquisa empírica sobre estrutura de propriedade no mercado de capitais brasileiro. Por meio de consultas às bases Spell, Scielo e Periódicos Capes no período 2000-2020 foram identificados 179 artigos publicados em periódicos brasileiros (157) e estrangeiros (22). Através de análise de conteúdo foram analisados os atributos da estrutura de propriedade investigados, a forma de sua mensuração, seus antecedentes e consequentes. Os resultados apontam que a estrutura de propriedade tem sido mensurada predominantemente pelo percentual de ações detido diretamente pelos maiores acionistas. Concentração acionária é a dimensão mais estudada, com evidências de relação negativa com a qualidade da governança corporativa e da informação contábil, mas sua relação com desempenho e decisões financeiras ainda é inconclusiva. Participação acionária e controle acionário são menos investigados, sem evidências conclusivas sobre seus antecedentes e consequentes. Esta revisão sistemática da literatura sobre estrutura de propriedade no Brasil pode ser utilizada como subsídio para pesquisadores que desejam contribuir com novas evidências sobre o tema e para a formulação de políticas para o desenvolvimento do mercado de capitais brasileiro. Metodologicamente, a categorização desenvolvida pode ajudar a compreender as dimensões da estrutura de propriedade.

This paper examines the challenging factors besetting faith tourism products in two religious centres in the southwestern region of Nigeria, namely The Redeemed Christian Church of God and Osun Oshogbo Sacred Grove.Different world religions are associated with faith-based activities which are sought after by adherents, admirers and tourists. The effects of this tourist traffic are highly beneficial to society, as they stimulate other sectors of the economy. However, improperly planned religious tourism may result in untoward negative effects. This paper employs ethnographic research methods (direct observation, interviews and focus group discussion) to address the subject matter. The findings revealed that the major challenge of most religious activities is overcrowding, out of which other challenges emanate. The study suggested measures to mitigate the challenges. What is new about this study is the awareness it seeks to create about the unique and inherent contents of faith-based activities and how these promote visitation if the identified impediments are properly managed. These findings are invaluable to all stakeholders, namely developers, government and policymakers in the tourism industry, as they re-engage them to revisit emerging challenges in religious tourism development.

BUMDes is a village economic institution/agency formed and owned by the village government and the community. The existence of BUMDes is essential to encourage the economy of rural communities. Tambang District, Kampar Regency has 17 BUMDes which play a role in improving the economy of its people. However, the BUMDes are still managed using a conventional system. The description of the desire to convert to a sharia BUMDes system has existed for a long time. However, the BUMDes in Tambang District still does not have a technical picture of the conversion to Sharia BUMDes management, so socialization is needed. The purpose of this service is to provide understanding for BUMDes BUMDes managers regarding the conversion procedure for BUMDes management with a sharia system and provide motivation for BUMDes management to convert BUMDes management to a sharia system, with material on conversion procedures, sharia BUMDes management, sharia BUMDes management principles. The results increase understanding of the conversion procedure to sharia BUMDes among BUMDes managers in the Mining sub-district. This can be seen from the statements and enthusiasm of the participants in the implementation of service from the beginning to the end of the activity. The importance of this service activity is because it shows that after getting an explanation from the service team and the motivation provided, it shows an increase in understanding of the conversion

The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit the entire world has shattered the order of human life before. This condition is a big challenge for all countries in the world in order to survive in times of crisis due to the outbreak of this disease. The impacts include various sectors of human life, including the impact of the decline in the community's economy due to the pandemic, many companies have had to close their businesses and lay off their employees by termination of employment. For employees who experience termination of employment, it will be very difficult to live the next life. Therefore, it is important for them to immediately find a way out to be able to still have an income for their family. The government through the Manpower and Transmigration Office pays attention to workers affected by the Covid-19 pandemic as victims of this termination of employment by providing Self Employment Entrepreneurship Debriefing in the Agricultural Sector, namely Hydroponic Entrepreneurship Training. Hydroponics that produces vegetables and also fisheries through even narrow land and the use of small amounts of water capacity is very helpful in producing a promising business. The results of hydroponic vegetables are expected to be easily traded and traded because they are products of everyday people's needs, with easy and cheap raw materials.

Folkloric Voices in Neorealist Cinema: The Case of Giuseppe De Santis
Authors: Danieli Giuliano
Published: August 2022

Scholars agree that a fundamental incongruity lies at the core of neorealism’s “lack of audiophilia” (Sisto 2014). While neorealist directors aimed to bridge the gap between their films and the portrayed protagonists – notably marginalised, subaltern people –, the music and voices of the latter tended to be muted and disempowered by soundtracks that relied on well-established norms of film-scoring practices (Dyer 2006). This remark applies to several post-war Italian films, but the case of Giuseppe De Santis seems to complicate it. Through audiovisual analysis and the study of archival sources, this article examines how the director participated in the wave of rediscovery of folklore in post-war Italy, and how he contributed to the creation of (ambiguous) discourses about the folk’s voice, which leftist intellectuals regarded as the repository of anti-capitalist values.

Firstly, I explore internal tensions in De Santis’ remediation of folk music. My analysis of the values attached to this repertoire in the rural film Caccia tragica (1947) shows that De Santis tended at once to affirm the “folk music vs capitalism” dichotomy, and to blur the line of such divide through several (involuntary?) short-circuits. The examination of these discursive fractures helps provide a nuanced understanding of the position occupied by folk music in post-war Italian cultural politics.

Secondly, I claim that a comprehensive approach to film soundtracks may call into question the idea of neorealism’s indifference to the subalterns’ voice. Indeed, sound, more than music, proved essential for the director to try and empower the portrayed folkloric communities. I demonstrate the point by analysing the construction of folkloric soundscapes in Caccia tragica, where resonance is given to bells, whistles, and clapping that subvert the hegemonic world of the film’s villains. My account is complemented by a discussion of music and sound in Noi che facciamo crescere il grano (ca. 1953), one of De Santis’ unfinished projects.
Callas and the Hologram: A Live Concert with a Dead Diva
Authors: Cachopo João Pedro
Published: August 2022

In this paper, I investigate Callas in Concert, a multimedia show that employs holographic digital and laser technology to bring the legendary diva back to the stage almost 50 years after her death. The aim of the spectacle, which bears witness to the persistence of the Callas cult to the present day, is to allow audiences to see and listen to a digitally manipulated reproduction of the dead singer’s body and voice. At the same time, Callas in Concert is a live concert, where an orchestra performs in front of an audience. My interest lies in two interrelated issues. The first concerns the question as to whether the visual or the aural dimension takes the lead in the attempt to fictionally resurrect a dead singer as a live performer. The second revolves around the paradox inherent in the use of digital technologies of reproduction and remediation to emphasize the peerless uniqueness of Maria Callas’s artistry. In bringing together these two issues, my ultimate goal is to shed light on the artistic nuances and ideological assumptions that pervade the fascination with operatic liveness today.

Published: August 2022

Black root rot (BRR) caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae is an alarming disease of mulberry that causes tremendous economic losses to sericulture farmers in India and China. Successful control of this disease can be attained by screening germplasm and identifying resistant sources. Seventy four diseased root samples were collected from farmer’s fields belonging to four major mulberry growing states of South India. Based on morpho-cultural and scanning electron microscopy studies, 57 fungal isolates were characterized and identified as L. theobromae. Phylogenetic analysis of concatenated internal transcribed spacer and β-tubulin sequences revealed variation of the representative 20 isolates of L. theobromae. Following the root dip method of inoculation, pathogenicity studies on susceptible mulberry genotypes (Victory-1 and Thailand male) recognized the virulent isolate MRR-142. Accordingly, MRR-142 isolate was used to evaluate resistance on a set of 45 diverse mulberry accessions. In the repeated experiments, the mulberry accession ME-0168 which is an Indonesian origin belonging to Morus latifolia was found to be highly resistant consistently against BRR. Eight accessions (G2, ME-0006, ME-0011, ME-0093, MI-0006, MI-0291, MI-0489, and MI-0501) were found to be resistant. These promising resistant resources may be exploited in mulberry breeding for developing BRR resistant varieties and to develop mapping populations which successively helps in the identification of molecular markers associated with BRR.
Identification of Endogenous Genes for Normalizing Titer Variation of Citrus Tristeza Virus in Aphids at Different Post-acquisition Feeding Times

Published: August 2022

Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is efficiently transmitted in a semi-persistent manner by the brown citrus aphid (Toxoptera citricida (Kirkaldy)). Currently, the most sensitive method for detecting plant viruses in insect vectors is reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). In this study, the elongation factor-1 alpha (EF-1α) gene and acidic p0 ribosomal protein (RPAP0) gene were confirmed to be suitable reference genes for RT-qPCR normalization in viruliferous T. citricida aphids using the geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper tools. Then the relative CTV titer in aphids (T. citricida) at different post-acquisition feeding times on healthy plants was quantified by RT-qPCR using EF-1α and RPAP0 as reference genes. The relative CTV titer retained in the aphids gradually decreased with increasing feeding time. During the first 0.5 h of feeding time on healthy plants, the remaining CTV titer in aphids showed about 80% rapid loss for the highly transmissible isolate CT11A and 40% loss for the poorly transmissible isolate CTLJ. The relative CTV titer in aphids during more than 12 h post-acquisition times for CT11A was significantly lower than at the other feeding times, which is similar to the trend found for CTLJ. To our knowledge, this is the first report about the relative titer variation of CTV remaining in T. citricida at different post-acquisition feeding times on healthy plants.
Identification and Characterization of Fungal Pathogens Associated with Boxwood Diseases in the Republic of Korea
Authors: Shin Soobin , Kim Jung-Eun , Son Hokyoung
Published: August 2022

Boxwood is a representative ornamental shrub that is widely used in landscaping horticulture. After pruning, damaged leaves or stems of boxwoods are unavoidably vulnerable to infection by various plant pathogens. Several boxwood diseases caused by fungi, such as Volutella blight and Macrophoma leaf spot, have been reported worldwide including Republic of Korea. In this study, we isolated and identified fungal pathogens of boxwood diseases that occurred in Korea and characterized their morphological and taxonomic characteristics. Boxwood samples showing blight symptoms were collected in Seoul, Republic of Korea, and the putative fungal pathogens Pseudonectria buxi, P. foliicola, and Neofusicoccum buxi were successfully identified. Investigation of the morphological features of the field isolates, including mycelial growth and conidial morphology, and phylogenetic analysis of multiple DNA barcode loci revealed that there were some morphological and genetic variations among isolates, but all of the analyzed isolates were closely related to the corresponding reference strains. We also found that P. foliicola strains were more virulent than P. buxi, and the N. buxi strains isolated in this study were weak pathogens or saprophytes. The results of our study will contribute to the development of control strategies for boxwood diseases caused by fungi and accelerate research on the complex ecology of boxwood diseases.

Published: August 2022

Seed-borne pathogens in crops reduce the seed germination rate and hamper seedling growth, leading to significant yield loss. Due to the growing concerns about environmental damage and the development of resistance to agrochemicals among pathogen populations, there is a strong demand for eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic chemicals in agriculture. It has been well established during the last few decades that plant seeds harbor diverse microbes, some of which are vertically transmitted and important for plant health and productivity. In this study, we isolated culturable endophytic bacteria and fungi from soybean seeds and evaluated their antagonistic activities against common bacterial and fungal seed-borne pathogens of soybean. A total of 87 bacterial isolates and 66 fungal isolates were obtained. Sequencing of 16S rDNA and internal transcribed spacer amplicon showed that these isolates correspond to 30 and 15 different species of bacteria and fungi, respectively. Our antibacterial and antifungal activity assay showed that four fungal species and nine bacterial species have the potential to suppress the growth of at least one seed-borne pathogen tested in the study. Among them, Pseudomonas koreensis appears to have strong antagonistic activities across all the pathogens. Our collection of soybean seed endophytes would be a valuable resource not only for studying biology and ecology of seed endophytes but also for practical deployment of seed endophytes toward crop protection.

Aim of study: To evaluate the physicochemical and sensory quality of meat from Santa Inês × Dorper lambs fed diets with increasing levels of sunflower cake.
Area of study: Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil).
Material and methods: Twenty-four castrated lambs (initial weight of 18.9 ± 2.17 kg) were distributed in a completely randomized design with four treatments (0, 5, 10 and 15% sunflower cake in diet) with six repetitions and kept in confinement until reaching the average body weight of 32.1 ± 2.6 kg. The Longissimus lumborum muscle was used for proximate composition and physicochemical analyzes, and the Semimembranosus muscle was used for pH (after 24 h of slaughter) and sensory analysis assays.
Main results: The increasing levels of sunflower cake did not affect the composition or physicochemical properties. Sensory analysis also did not reveal significant differences in meat obtained from animals in different diets. Principal Components Analysis indicated that juiciness, color, odor and flavor were positioned opposite to protein, texture, and ash.
Research highlights: The use of sunflower cake in diets for crossbred sheep Dorper × Santa Inês as soybean meal and corn replacer, up to 15% inclusion of soybean meal and corn, does not affect the proximate composition, physicochemical or sensory characteristics of the meat.

Introduction: Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor of the salivary gland. It usually shows in parotid gland, and rarely shows in other site.
Case Report: A 33 years old female from East Nusa Tenggara, came to our outpatient clinic with a complaint of nasal obstruction and recurrent epistaxis on her right nose 1 year ago. Biopsy for the tumor was done by the previous Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT)-specialist and resulted suggestive pleomorphic adenoma. During her visit, we found a red colored mass occupying the right nasal cavity, emerges from the middle meatus. Patient had not received medical nor non-medical therapy after the previously done biopsy, and declined of having any epistaxis episodes during the time. Nasal obstruction was her current complain and what brings her to seek medical care. We continued with a midfacial degloving surgery and removed the tumor, which aroused from maxillary sinus. Histopathology of the tumor shows an acinic cell carcinoma feature.
Discussion: We searched all English and Non-English previously ACC reports in nasal cavity to compare with our case and our treatment plan.
Conclusion: Sinonasal ACC are known as a rare, slow-growing and low-grade malignancy tumor with an excellent outcome, despite indistinct symptoms.

Cauda equina syndrome is a rare neurological disease caused by compression of the cauda equina. The ponytail consists of the spinal nerves L2-L5, S1-S5 and the coccygeal nerve.
We carried out a retroprospective study over a period of two years (24 months), ranging from January 01, 2020 to December 31, 2021 from the files of patients referred for lombosacral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT scan exploration in the context of low back pain or sciatica resistant to disabling medical treatment, neurological deficit of the lower limbs associated or not with the bladder and / or rectal sphincter disorders, without any notion of trauma, with as judgment criterion the demonstration of an anomaly responsible for compression of the roots of the ponytail.
We collected seventy-six (76) patients, with an average age of 53.5 years old and as extremes ages 15 years and 89 years. We noted a female predominance with a sex ratio of 1.5 in favor of female sex.
The most of patients were axplored with MRI, in 89 % of cases.
Our patient history was dominated by cancer pathologies, with breast cancer in 24% of cases and prostatic cancer in 18% of cases.
The symptomatology presented by the patients was mainly represented by sphencteric disorders in 47% of cases and lumboscialitica in 28% of cases.
The conflicting disc herniation dominated the etiologies in 36 % of cases followed by secondary vertebral neoplasic lesions in 20% of cases .
MRI and CT scans are very important radiological modalities in characterizing lesions responsible for cauda equina syndrome in adults. The CT scan is effective in the study of bone and the MRI in the study of nerve roots, intervertebral discs and paravertebral soft tissues.
Belarus in the Eurasian Migration System: The Challenges of the Last Decade and Their Consequences
Authors: Petrakova Yuliya
Published: August 2022

This article presents the main recent developments in migration trends to and from Belarus. It studies these trends via the migration systems theory lenses, according to which Belarus belongs to the Eurasian migration system. The most significant migration flows are directed towards Russia, due to the existence of the Union State. However, over the last decade, Belarusian statistics have shown a gradual transformation in the direction of these migration flows. After the recession in Russia in 2015, the number of emigrants from Belarus to EU countries increased. The most significant changes have occurred in the migration dynamics between Belarus and Poland and Lithuania. The existence of the Pole’s Card makes it more difficult to measure the number of Belarusian immigrants in Poland, therefore, I provide a comparative analysis of Belarusian and Polish statistics in order to show a more realistic picture of the number and structure of Belarusian emigrants and the problem of underestimation in the sending country. Particular attention is paid to the consequences of the political situation in Belarus after 2020; this has become an additional push factor for emigrants and may also lead to a further reduction of Belarusian migratory links within the Eurasian migration system. Thus, the statistics for 2021 show a significant increase in the number of Belarusian emigrants to the EU, while emigration to Russia has remained at the same level.

Published: August 2022

Research indicates healthy family relationships can reduce recidivism. More effort has been placed towards providing family life programming in prisons to promote healthy individual and relational functioning, yet only a handful of studies have evaluated and provided insight on relationship education (RE) for incarcerated adults. This study contributes to this emerging effort and examines changes following participation in a RE program, using a sample of 461 incarcerated men and women. Findings indicate significant improvements in anxiety and depressive symptoms and conflict resolution skills. Additional tests of moderation of change by gender, relationship status, and child age revealed a greater change in individual functioning for those in a relationship compared to those who were not. Indications are that RE programs hold promise for contributing to better individual well-being and healthy relationships during incarceration and the potential for reducing recidivism incidence after re-entry.

Authors: Donaldson Joseph L. , Vaughan Rose
Published: August 2022

This scoping study aimed to answer the question: What is known from existing research studies about the major competencies required of Extension professionals? Scoping studies are characterized by searching the literature to summarize major concepts on a research topic, and they are valuable as they show evidence for the major concepts. This study was limited to research studies of United States’ Extension professionals. The major conclusion from the scoping study is that existing research studies have yielded a rich literature base regarding Extension professional competencies.

Published: August 2022

Substance use disorder (SUD) is one of the most detrimental health, social, and economic problems in the United States. Limited studies suggest providing tailored nutrition education during SUD treatment correlates with positive recovery outcomes. The University of Kentucky Nutrition Education Program conducted two focus group sessions to explore and determine educators’ instructional and programmatic needs who deliver nutrition education to clients in substance use recovery throughout Kentucky. The study team identified four emerging themes and several subthemes related to Nutrition Education Program educators working with clientele in recovery. The four emerging themes included: (1) current experiences working with the audience, (2) relevant components in the current curriculum, (3) suggested new and expanded resources for future curriculum, and (4) guidance to assistants new to the audience. Our research findings contribute to the development of new programmatic materials that are better suited to meet clients’ needs in recovery and ultimately improve SUD recovery outcomes. With increased knowledge on this emerging research topic, the University of Kentucky Nutrition Education Program will directly benefit Kentucky residents who suffer from SUD and experience its detrimental social and health implications.

Food retailers are key stakeholders in the development, implementation, and effectiveness of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) nutrition pilot programs. Qualitative interviews were conducted to gather insight from food retailers regarding the feasibility of proposed strategies to improve food choices among SNAP participants. Two corporate and six local-level food retailer managers were identified for interviews based on SNAP participation, rural- urban code, and type of food retail settings in the selected counties. Qualitative thematic analysis was performed by four research team members, and themes were identified via consensus. Marketing, incentive, and disincentive program models were well-received, while restriction and stocking standards models were less well-received. Food retailers viewed simple programs with easy implementation and educational components positively. Driving sales and programs that align with corporate and social responsibility goals were important factors related to willingness to participate in pilot programs. Insights from this present study can inform future pilot programs and promote food retailer buy-in.

Published: August 2022

The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate nonprofit organizations’ satisfaction with volunteer retention during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants were 74 nonprofit organizations’ leaders who participated in the online survey. The response rate was 10.6%. We found that the overall mean score for satisfaction with organizational retention of volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic was 3.50 (SD = .98), and the importance of volunteer management practices was 3.52 (SD = .96). Most nonprofit organizations were proactive (38.8%) and reacted promptly (52.2%) while addressing the organizations’ response to the pandemic. Approximately 10.3% of the variation in satisfaction with organizational retention of volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic could be explained by the importance of volunteer management practices and organizational response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, within the final model, only one factor was a significant predictor of satisfaction with organizational retention of volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic, namely, organizational response to the COVID-19 pandemic (β = -.304; p = .014). Recommendations for future research discussed. Implications for volunteer management and leadership studies faculty, University Extension educators, human resources practitioners, and local nonprofit organizations’ leaders are also presented.

Published: August 2022

Insufficiency  in  the  production  of  food  crops  in  Nigeria  has  been  linked  with  variation  in  rainfall  features.  This  paper  examined  the  impacts  of  variation in rainfall onsets, cessations and length of growing season on yam yield  in  Kwara  State,  Nigeria  to  proffer  a  solution  to  the  problem  of  food  insecurity in the state. Rainfall data were collected monthly for six stations in  Kwara  State  between  1961-2017  (57  years).  Yam  yield  data  were  also  collected  for  the  same  period.  Since  no  separate  record  of  yam  is  kept  for  each climatic station, mean climatic data were calculated to match the yam yield record obtained from the above stations. Rainfall onset, cessation and Length  of  Growing  Season  (LGS)  were  calculated  from  monthly  values.  Decadal  partitioning  of  both  the  crop  and  rainfall  features  was  made  to  show  variations.  Time  series  analysis  was  employed  to  study  trends.  The  strength  of  the  relationship  between  the  length  of  the  growing  season  and  yam  yield  was  also  conducted  using  correlation  analysis.  The  result  showed  an  upward  trend  of  onset  of  rain  coupled  with  a  downward  trend  in late cessation of rain and a decline in the length of the growing season. On a decadal basis, increasing frequency of delayed onset of rain and late cessation was observed. Length of growing season exhibits a positive (r = 0.455**)  relationship  with  yam  yield.  Suggestions  were  made  on  how  to  attain sustainable efficient yam cropping in the study area.
