Authors: MEMİŞ Samet
Published: April 2022

Cuong [Picture Fuzzy Sets, Journal of Computer Science and Cybernetics 30 (4) (2014) 409–420] has introduced the concept of picture fuzzy soft sets (pfs-sets) relying on his definition and operations of picture fuzzy sets (pf -sets), in which there exist some inconsistencies. Yang et al. [Adjustable Soft Discernibility Matrix Based on Picture Fuzzy Soft Sets and Its Applications in Decision Making, Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems 29 (4) (2015) 1711–1722] have claimed that they have introduced the concept of pfs-sets with the inconsistencies in Cuong’s definition of pf -sets. Therefore, this study redefines the concept of pfs-sets to deal with the inconsistencies therein. Moreover, it investigates some of the properties of pfs-sets and their product operations and proposes a soft decision-making method via pfs-sets. Finally, pfs-sets, their product operations, and the proposed method are discussed for further research.

Purpose: The present study measures the impact of merger on Indian acquiring entities’ long term stock price performance. The study covers 109 acquiring entities of merger deals undertaken during the period of 2000 to 2012, comprising of a study period of 1997 to 2015. Methodology: The same is measured through monthly CAR (Cumulative Abnormal Return) and BHAR (Buy and Hold Abnormal Return) of selected acquiring entities during the period of 12, 24 and 36 months post the merger and comparing it with 12, 24 and 36 months pre merger respectively. The Abnormal Return (AR) is computed as the excess of acquiring entity stock’s monthly log return over the market’s (SENSEX) monthly log return. A paired t-test has being applied to compare the pre and post CAR and BHAR after eliminating outliers using box-plot technique and assuring normality of variables. Findings: The results show a significant reduction in post merger monthly CARs and BHARs as compared to pre merger. Practical Implications: CAR being based on arithmetic mean is useful to investors who hold stocks for relatively short period of time around the merger month. BHAR being based on geometric mean is useful to investors who hold stocks for the entire holding period before and after the merger month. Originality: Abnormal returns pre and post merger scenario in the long run are less explored in the Indian context which this study aims at. The study also compares the results of abnormal returns around long term time frame in India with that of the global context as well.

Published: April 2022

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health Problem worldwide. It is currently the fourth leading cause of death with the highest morbidity and mortality throughout the world. ADAM33 has been implicated in the etiology of asthma, another obstructive pulmonary disease. Research shows that its genetic polymorphism may play a pivotal role in COPD pathophysiology; however, data is still inconclusive and no research has been done on it in Pakistan. A total of 102 subjects (51 cases + 51 controls) were recruited. Blood samples were drawn for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) isolation from individuals. DNA extraction and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was optimized and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was carried out by incubation at 37οC with digesting enzyme’ Fsel’ for minor allele rs528557. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 26.0. Data for age, pack smoking/year, frequency of exacerbation and BMI was described by mean ± SD. Alleles and genotypes were described as proportions and percentages. Comparison of the said variables between two groups was performed by Chi-Square as applicable. G allele was found in all cases (100%) and in 74.5% controls at p= <0.001. On the other hand, the frequency of minor allele C was 11.8% and 29.4% in cases and controls respectively at p=0.03. Homozygous major genotype (G/G) was 88.2%, in controls versus 70.6% in cases (p=0.09). Heterozygous genotype (G/C) was 9.2% in controls and 25.5% in cases. Similarly homozygous minor genotype (C/C) was 0.8% in controls and 3.9% in cases respectively at p=0.56. Thus, we show that G allele of rs528557 may be associated with risk of COPD in Pakistani subjects.

Published: April 2022

Behavior in children can be classified as normal or abnormal behavior. Children's behavior can be said to be normal if the behavior is in accordance with that in society. While children's behavior can be said to be abnormal if the child's behavior has deviated from the prevailing order in the community so that the community directly or indirectly rejects it. Children who are accustomed to observing and even experiencing violence both physically and verbally in the home environment or play, later children will build a framework that is a natural thing and needs to be done. Hurlock (1978: 221) says anger is an expression that is more often expressed in children. The reason is because the stimulation that causes more anger in children, children also know that anger is an effective way to get attention or fulfill their desires. Keywords: School Bullying, Elementary school student

Published: April 2022

Gender violence is a serious personal and social problem, with multiple consequences for abused women. Intervention studies to help these people, are scarce and from different approaches. We have carried out a systematic review of the treatments applied in groups to women who have been in gender violence. The data bases of Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Dialnet and grey literature were reviewed. From the papers found, 34 of them have been select because they were studies with data about efficacy, grouped by the type of intervention: cognitive-behavioural therapies (22), contextual therapies (4), and diverse programmes (8). The results showed that cognitive-behavioural therapies are effective in reducing anxiety, stress, and PTSD behaviours, with varying effect sized and follow-ups to 12 months. Contextual therapies are promising in this field and can be addressed in an individualized way. The other therapies sowed efficacy in some cases, although each is based on different theories, they also use techniques from cognitive-behavioural therapies. We concluded that there is a need for research on the specific components of the therapies, and more studies with randomized group designs.
Network Topology of Dynamic Credit Default Swap Curves of Energy Firms and the Role of Oil Shocks
Authors: Bouri Elie , Shahzad Syed Jawad Hussain
Published: April 2022

Using network analysis on the connectedness of default factors in a credit default swap (CDS) dataset of U.S. and European energy firms, we provide the first evidence of differences in the shape and dynamics of the interconnectedness of the level, slope, and curvature, representing long-, short- and middle-term default factors, respectively. The interconnectedness of the three default factors increases during the European sovereign debt crisis (ESDC), whereas only the interconnectedness of the level factor increases during the oil price crash, and the interconnectedness of both level and slope factors spikes during COVID19. European firms contribute more to the transmission of long-term and short-term default risk from early 2011 till the beginning of the 2014–2105 oil price crash; afterwards, U.S. firms are major default transmitters despite some periods of parity with European firms. The impacts of oil demand and supply shocks on the various interconnectedness are quantile-dependent and more pronounced in the long term for the credit risk of the energy firms.

Budgetrecht onder druk

Budgetrecht onder druk

In dit artikel staan het budgetrecht en de begrotingswet centraal. Hierbij gaat het om de vraag of met de vaststelling van de rijksbegroting het parlement nog voldoende invloed kan uitoefenen op de omvang en samenstelling van de rijksuitgaven. Deze vraag wordt ontkennend beantwoord, omdat de meeste uitgaven voor meerdere jaren vastliggen en niet door de begrotingswetgever beïnvloed kunnen worden. Daar komt bij dat de meeste uitgaven ook niet door de rijksoverheid verricht worden, maar door derden, waaronder decentrale overheden. De auteur stelt voor om bij majeure wetgevingsprogramma’s ook relevante meerjarenuitgavenkaders op te nemen, zodat het parlement tijdig invloed kan uitoefenen.

Budgetrecht in de knel. Waarom het budgetrecht geen rustig bezit is

In dit artikel gaat de auteur vanuit de onderzoekspraktijk van de Algemene Rekenkamer in op de relatie tussen de begroting, begrotingsfuncties, het budgetrecht en het belang van de begrotingspresentatie. Het budgetrecht komt in de praktijk soms in de knel. Aan de hand van enkele voorbeelden komt het onderscheid tussen formele en materiële autorisatie aan de orde. Tot slot stipt hij de noodzaak van een goede onderbouwing van beleid voor het budgetrecht aan.

Over het gebruik van begrotingswetsvoorstellen om bepalingen uit niet-begrotingswetten te wijzigen. Een historisch-juridische beschouwing

Dit artikel betreft een historisch-juridische beschouwing over de overeenkomsten en verschillen tussen begrotingswetgeving en reguliere wetgeving. Daarbij wordt de vraag behandeld of begrotingswetten mogen worden gebruikt om bepalingen uit niet-begrotingswetten te wijzigen. De Afdeling advisering van de Raad van State heeft sinds 2006 een bestendige lijn: dit mag niet. De posities van de regering en de Staten-Generaal worden onder de loep genomen. In de conclusie wordt een suggestie gedaan om de lijn van de Afdeling advisering te nuanceren.
De betekenis van het compensatiebeginsel voor de wetgevingspraktijk

De betekenis van het compensatiebeginsel voor de wetgevingspraktijk

In artikel 2 van de Financiële-verhoudingswet en artikel 108, derde lid, van de Gemeentewet is het compensatiebeginsel vastgelegd. Dit beginsel houdt in dat het Rijk zich rekenschap geeft van de financiële gevolgen van nieuwe of geïntensiveerde taken of activiteiten voor decentrale overheden en deze in beginsel compenseert. Voor de wetgevingsjuristen is het van belang de reikwijdte daarvan te doorgronden. De taken, bevoegdheden, verantwoordelijkheden en de middelentoedeling moeten niet alleen in balans zijn, ook moet invulling worden gegeven aan het noodzakelijke onderzoek naar de kosten, het overleg met en de informatievoorziening aan de systeemverantwoordelijke van de Minister van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties.

Een beknopte geschiedenis van de Nederlandse wetgeving in de lange negentiende eeuw. Bespreking van G.J. Veerman, Nederlandse meesters over wetgeving: 1796-1940

G.J. Veerman bespreekt in zijn boek Nederlandse meesters over wetgeving: 1796-1940 de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse wetgeving in de negentiende eeuw. Hij doet dat niet chronologisch, maar aan de hand van een aantal thema’s. Zij betreffen bijvoorbeeld de kwaliteit (waaronder het taalgebruik en de vorm) van wetgeving en het wetgevingsbeleid. Veerman laat tientallen bekende en minder bekende Nederlandse juristen aan het woord over hun visie op (aspecten van) wetgeving. Zijn speurtocht levert een boeiende en breed uitwaaierende staalkaart op van de ontwikkeling van de Nederlandse wetgevingsgeschiedenis. De bril van Veerman is een hoofdzakelijk publiekrechtelijke. Daardoor vallen er soms wat thema’s buiten de boot.

Wetgeven voor digitaal algemeen bestuursrecht

Na de gestrande pogingen van 2013 en 2016-2018 doet het Europees Parlement een nieuwe poging de Europese Commissie zover te krijgen dat zij een wetsvoorstel rond algemene regels van bestuursrecht initieert. Er zijn namelijk voortschrijdende inzichten rond de effecten die digitalisering van overheidsbestuur en de inzet van artificiële intelligentie (AI) daarbij hebben op burgers en organisaties. Daarom is het tijd om na te denken over de beste manier om de betekenis daarvan voor de normering van bestuurlijk handelen zo duidelijk mogelijk te maken voor burgers, organisaties en het bestuur zelf.

Las aplicaciones web y móviles son un conjunto de programas comúnmente conocidos como software que brindan una gran cantidad de soluciones a las necesidades presentadas por parte de las personas, empresas u organizaciones, algunas de estas aplicaciónes incluyen tecnología speech to text, una disciplina de la inteligencia artificial cuyo objetivo es transcribir audio o voz a texto.
En el presente artículo se revisa la literatura publicada referente a proyectos que hayan desarrollado aplicaciones web y móviles que utilicen la tecnología speech to text con el objetivo de explorar si esta metodología facilita la comunicación de personas con discapacidad auditiva, por ejemplo en entornos educativos, con sus docentes y compañeros oyentes, facilitando su inclusión y desempeño.
Análisis a la responsabilidad del estado por la ineficiencia en el control y vigilancia en el pago de acreencias de las entidades promotoras de salud.

Detectar los problemas esenciales del modelo de Inspección, Vigilancia y Control, existente en la actualidad, ejercido principalmente por la Superintendencia Nacional de Salud a las Entidades Promotoras de Salud – EPS, desde la implementación de la Ley 10 de Enero 10 de 1990, pasando por la Ley 100 de Diciembre 23 de 1993, reformada básica y principalmente por la Ley 1122 de Enero 9 de 2007 y por la Ley 1438 de Enero 19 de 2011, se convierte en una tarea minuciosa, por ello el problema investigativo apunta al análisis teórico-jurídico de dicha forma de intervención Estatal frente a las EPS’s, el cual busca la protección y un manejo adecuado de los recursos del Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud (SGSSS), que redunde en la garantía a los ciudadanos, de los principios universales y los postulados constitucionales en materia de oportunidad, accesibilidad y calidad, para una plena satisfacción del derecho fundamental a la Salud y a la Seguridad Social. Este tema será desarrollado en una serie de artículos dirigidos a estudiar a profundidad el cuestionamiento ¿De qué manera el Estado incurre en responsabilidad ante la ejecución de las tareas de inspección, vigilancia y control a las EPS’s que han sido intervenidas por la Superintendencia Nacional de Salud y que han dejado insolutas acreencias a favor de proveedores e instituciones prestadoras de salud, derivadas de la prestación del servicio público de salud?
Early Breastfeeding Initiation Effect in Stunting: A Systematic Review
Authors: Steven Christian Susianto  , Nina Rini Suprobo  , Maharani
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Stunting has been a global burden worldwide, resulting in severe outcomes, including inadequate brain development until mortality. Early breastfeeding initiation as a global strategy affects the success of continuous breastfeeding that influences the children’s growth and development. This study aimed to provide a literature review on how early breastfeeding initiation might help children avoid stunting.
Methods: We searched articles published from 2017 to 2022 in PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane, and the Indonesia Database with keywords “Early breastfeeding initiation” OR “Early breastfeeding” OR” Early Initiation Breastfeeding” AND “stunting.” All data were gathered and analyzed.
Results: A total of 12 articles from 6690 articles met the inclusion, exclusion, and eligibility criteria. The mean of early breastfeeding initiation was 61,82%, with the lowest study in Chimborazo and Tungurahua, Ecuador, and stunting was 33,07% as the highest prevalence was in Chimborazo and Tungurahua, Ecuador, while the lowest in Saharawi refugee camps, Algeria. The mean prevalence of children who did not get early breastfeeding initiation and stunting occurred at 40,85%, and eight studies reported that early breastfeeding initiation was associated with stunting.
Conclusion: Early breastfeeding initiation can lower stunting risk in children. Early breastfeeding initiation ensures children obtain enough colostrum that enhances the children’s immunity and probability of exclusive breastfeeding, ensuring children obtain adequate nutritional intake and prevent stunting.
