Published: December 2020

Background: Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nail unit and can be caused by dermatophytes, yeasts and non-dermatophyte moulds. None of the treatment modalities yield consistent results. Cryotherapy as a treatment modality has not been studied in its management.Methods: 80 clinically confirmed cases of onychomycosis were enrolled for the study. Cases in group 1 were given liquid nitrogen cryotherapy with dipstick method for 12 weeks at 2 weekly intervals and cases in group 2 were given oral terbinafine in a dose of 500 mg daily for a week/month for 3 months. After 12 weeks cases in both groups were followed up at intervals of 3 weeks till 24 weeks.Results: At week 12 ,40% of the patients in group 1 achieved clinical cure which was comparable to treatment with oral terbinafine pulse which was 45% and G3 response was attained by 20% of the patients in group 1 and 17.5% patients in group 2. The results at 12 weeks were comparable in two groups and p value was insignificant. At the end of study duration, clinical cure was achieved in 32.5% in group 1 and 62.5% of patients in group 2 and p value was highly significant.Conclusions: The results of cryotherapy were inferior to oral terbinafine pulse. Though results with cryotherapy were comparable to oral terbinafine pulse at 12 weeks, at 24 weeks oral terbinafine pulse proved to be a treatment option in finger nail onychomycosis.

Published: December 2020

The relevance of the work consists in the clearest definition of the subject of Prosecutor's supervision when the court considers materials on changing a convict’s type of correctional institution. The Prosecutor's office's supervision of the execution of sentences in places of deprivation of liberty should be aimed at unconditionally observing the rights and legitimate interests of persons serving criminal sentences, however, there are still serious problems in correctional institutions that negatively affect the implementation of the tasks and goals of criminal punishment. The reason for this is still cases of “superficial” and non-professional approach to the study of the personality of convicts who are subjects of legal relations that occur when their behavior changes (in a positive or negative direction) in places of deprivation of liberty. The Prosecutor's supervision and its activities in this regard are considered as one of the guarantees of the rights of convicts to improve their legal status, which fully implements the constitutional principle of respect for the dignity of the individual, humanism, justice and the rule of law. The materials of Prosecutor's checks, judicial practice, analysis of statistical materials, materials of dissertations, monographs and journals included in the international global scientific databases studied in the course of the research allowed us to determine the most effective ways to solve the problems considered. These include the need for direct, timely and step-by-step participation of prosecutors in this process, as well as high requirements for their professional and personal qualities. The selection and analysis of these factors allowed the authors to determine in detail the subject of the Prosecutor's activity in the mentioned study – it is an active and qualified activity of the Prosecutor (Prosecutor's supervision) in the field of criminal enforcement legislation, aimed at identifying, preventing (preventing) and eliminating violations of the rights and legitimate interests of convicted persons serving a sentence of imprisonment. The main research methods used were: analysis of theoretical and regulatory sources; comparison; generalization and analysis of documents. Their application allowed the author to analyze the subject in question in the relationship and interdependence of its constituent elements, their integrity, comprehensiveness and objectivity.

El presente trabajo se orienta a determinar la relación entre la comunicación interna y la cultura organizacional en una empresa comunal del sector servicios mineros: Caso El Aliso Servicios Generales SRL año 2019. Para cumplir con el objetivo y medir las variables de la investigación se utilizó una encuesta tipo Likert, dada la importancia de estas variables en toda la organización. Esta fue validada para su aplicación en el contexto peruano con una población compuesta por los 160 colaboradores de todas las áreas de la organización. Para la construcción de dicho instrumento la investigación se sirvió de dos dimensiones de comunicación interna propuestas por Castro (2016) y de las dimensiones de cultura organizacional citadas por Cameron & Quinn (1999). Dichas dimensiones e indicadores se determinaron de acuerdo a la información brindada por la empresa comunal. Así, el cuestionario consta de 64 ítems evaluados y los resultados interpretan que la relación es directamente proporcional entre ambas variables, comunicación interna y cultura organizacional. Esto se puede definir con los resultados obtenidos de los coeficientes de correlación Spearman y Chi cuadrado, que indican bajo los valores obtenidos, que se detallan en los párrafos posteriores, que sí existe relación entre las variables de comunicación interna y cultura organizacional. Esta es una relación directamente proporcional, aceptando de esta forma la hipótesis alternativa planteada, es decir, cuanto más alto es el nivel de comunicación interna, mayor es el nivel de cultura organizacional de las empresas comunales del sector servicios mineros.

Authors: Barker Kim , Uribe-Jongbloed Enrique , Scholz Tobias
Published: December 2020

Much of the reporting of the tracing apps, tracking programmes, and privacy concerns during the developmental processes and the initial stages of the Covid-19 pandemic have focussed on pitting digital rights and privacy against public health interests. Undoubtedly, there is best practice in establishing a tracing app to respond to Covid-19 while the work of civil society and NGOs in scrutinising the apps in various nations is vitally important and provides the core analysis of the scope of the data to be collated and retained. The holding to account of tracing systems and governments in utilising technology that is by its very nature invasive is vital in protecting digital rights. In times of crisis in particular, accountability is incredibly important to ensure that digital rights are not pushed aside in light of other concerns.To balance digital rights and privacy, and public health, accountability and transparency are essential – the scrutiny of the track and trace systems in Germany, the UK, and Colombia is therefore undertaken in this paper, which questions from interdisciplinary perspectives the scrutiny, accountability, and privacy concerns in each nation’s app before offering some conclusions and recommendations for the improvement and development of privacy and digital rights in Latin America. The conclusions offered here highlight good practice and outline the need for a holistic consideration of tracing systems, rather than advocating for a ‘one size fits all approach’ by positioning privacy as a public good, rather than an opponent of technological tracing systems.

Authors: Desai Falguni Pankaj
Published: December 2020

The paper presents a detailed comparative study of the evolution in the direction and composition of exports of China and India between 1993 and 2010. The changes in the direction of exports is analyzed through country/commodity intersection by grouping countries together on the basis of income of which there are eight groups, and changes in the composition of exports is examined by employing the Revealed comparative advantage index and decomposing the growth in exports in terms of Intensive (existing products) and Extensive margins (new products) following the methodology of Amiti and Freund (2007). To analyze the country/commodity intersection and to compute the RCA index, the exports are classified into 5 main groups/categories: Product A group: Primary Products, Product B group: Natural Resource Intensive Products, Product C group: Unskilled Labour Intensive Products, Product D group: Technology Intensive Products, and Product E group: Human Capital Intensive Products and Sectors not classified according to factor intensity. The main findings of the study are: i) High income OECD plus non- OECD countries had dominant but declining shares in all the five product categories ofÂ  exports of China and India, ii) Chinaâ€™s comparative advantage has shifted from Unskilled labour intensive group toÂ  Technology intensive group, but India continues to have comparative advantage in exporting Primary and Unskilled labour intensive productsÂ  and, iii) the growth in exports of China and India was mainly accounted for by high growth of Intensive margins rather than in Extensive margins.
Utilization of Preferential Tariff under ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA): Case of Malaysia
Authors: Shaul Hamid Mohammed Faiz , Aslam Dr. Mohamed
Published: December 2020

Reducing numbers of tariff lines to 0% and increase in intra-regional trade are often indicators of success of ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). With more members liberalizing their economies and actively reducing the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) rates, the preferential tariff under AFTA would have a minimal impact on trade patterns unless the preferential tariff treatment is effective. Based on the value of Certificate of Origin (COO) and its export to ASEAN countries, this paper plans to estimate and analyse the utilization of tariffs under AFTA in the case of Malaysia for the period of 2007-2011 to examine the effectiveness of preferential tariffs under AFTA. Analysis is expanded with a â€œMFN proxyâ€ by excluding Singapore. The results show that the utilization rates remain low and this suggests that preferential tariff rates are only used for the similar products and there will always be a limited level of utilization as some product lines were liberated under MFN tariffs.

While the fear of speaking may prevent some students from speaking inÂ  seminarsÂ  altogether,Â  thoseÂ  thatÂ  do sometimesÂ  find theirÂ  nervesÂ  restrictÂ  them from adequately sharing their views and intelligence, resulting in an embarrassed, unconfidentÂ  student who then promises him/herself never to speak up again. Students may feel fear atÂ  the possibilityÂ  of embarrassing themselvesÂ  andÂ  appearingÂ  foolishÂ  or saying the â€˜wrongâ€™Â  thing. After graduation, students need oral presentation skills to succeed in the workplace. Employers look for graduates with excellent oral presentation skills. Communication skills are important for people entering the workforce. Thus the role of educational institutions and specifically of the instructors offering oral presentation courses is important in helping students to improve their skills. Training plays a significant role to improve public speech skills of students.This study aims to explore the issues related to public speech training programs for students, parameters which should be used as pedagogy to improve their public speech skills. Four experimentsÂ were performed on students based on 30 parameters.

Â AbstractBusinesses across the globe faces challenges to ensure stability, growth and sustainability. Companies have to deal with changes in economic, social, cultural, political and technological environment.

Textile sector is one of the largest sector in India. However one third of companies in this sector have reported losses for the previous year. This study aims to examine the factors that can differentiate a distressed company from a non- distressed company so that the factors signifying distress can be studied. Listed companies in textile sector incurring continuous losses for three years were selected for the study. Financial ratios were used as variables. Logistic regression was applied to identify the most important factors indicating distress. It was observed that ratios measuring profitability and efficiency were significant in predicting distress.Â Key words: Â Financial distress, distress signals, textile sector, continuous losses, financial ratios
Dynamic Relationship between Stock Market Returns and Trading Volume: Evidence from Indian Stock Market
Authors: BHATTACHARYA NUPUR GUPTA , Zavar Gopal
Published: December 2020

This paper empirically examines the relationship between the stock returns & the trading volume for Sensex. Three main measures of volume traded namely number of shares traded; total turnover of the shares traded & the no. of transactions are used. Their daily data for a five year period were taken for the study. The contemporaneous correlation between the volume & returns was studied after it was found that there was no unit root in the data. A positive contemporaneous relation between the volume & the returns was found. The results from Granger causality test suggest us that the returns granger causes volume for Sensex. VAR test also suggests that the stock returns are dependent on the returns of the previous days. It can be explained as in an emerging market like India, the market development cause the sequential information dissemination. It can also be concluded that in Sensex, no. of transactions can prove to be a better proxy of information than number of shares traded or turnover.

Ownership Structure and Corporate Performance in India
Authors: Chincholkar Sujata Nitin
Published: December 2020

The ownership structure of a publicly held Corporation is one of the internal mechanisms of corporate governance. Insider ownership is one of the internal controlling mechanisms that could theoretically reduce agency costs. Earlier researcher has investigated the effects of insider ownership on firm performance. But we have attempted to add few more dimensions to it. Firstly, earlier studies did not attempt to study this relationship after the implementation of revised corporate governance code in 2006 in India and after the changes in the disclosures of insider ownership as per the clause 49 of the listing agreement. Secondly, earlier studies did not take into account the time lag for the studies on Indian markets. We have attempted time lag studies using panel data on the Indian Markets using MBVR ratio as a performance measure. The result shows that corporate performance is significantly influenced by insider ownership. Hence corporate governance issues needs to be dealt with great care.Â
