Authors: Rattanakul Chontita , Lenbury Yongwimon , Khajohnsaksumeth Nathnarong , Modchang Charin
Published: September 2022

More and more information on mortality and morbidity indicates that in order to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to focus our attention on comorbidities. Several reports evidence of how many elderly patients who become severely ill exhibit underlying illness such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, tumor, and more to our special attention here, type 2 diabetes. Better understanding of the mechanism underlying the comorbidity between different diseases requires merging models of systems across different time-scales. The model homogenization across multiple spatial and time scales poses an important challenge to researchers in the field of medical science. An approach that has been found relatively efficient in the analysis of such models is the use of singular perturbation technique. Here, we study a differential equation model system with multiple time scales which describes the diabetes and COVID-19 comorbidity. It tracks the changes in levels of plasma glucose, insulin, and functional-cells, incorporating insulin resistance and inflammation responses. The model is analyzed with the geometric singular perturbation technique, by which conditions on the system parameters may be derived to identify regions in which the system exhibits different dynamic behavior, whether the system would be stable, or eventually oscillate in a sustained fashion. Discussion of these conditions allows us to better understand how comorbidity mediates the development of life-threatening symptoms in a diabetic patient in order that proper care and treatment may be prescribed.

Большинство вопросов российских ученых посвящены вопросам адаптации концепции Бережливого производства к производственным системам. Поскольку на ценностях потребителей, которые удовлетворяют компании, базируются конкурентные преимущества компании, «вытягивание ценности» можно трактовать как приобретение, «взращивание» конкурентных преимуществ. «Вытягивание ценности» для потребителей в концепции Бережливого производства - это обеспечение получения конкурентных преимуществ с минимальными потерями для компании.

Most of the questions of Russian scientists are devoted to the issues of adapting the concept of Lean production to production systems. Since the competitive advantages of the company are based on the values of consumers that satisfy the company, “value pulling” can be interpreted as the acquisition, “cultivation” of competitive advantages. "Value pull" for consumers in the concept of Lean Manufacturing is the provision of obtaining competitive advantages with minimal losses for the company.

The Relation between Business Strategy and Sustainable Tax Strategies
Authors:   Academic Society of Global Business Administration, Kim Woo Young
Published: September 2022

This study examines the relationship between business strategy and sustainable tax strategies under the assumption that net income in the income statement according to business strategy will affect the tax burden, and verifies the effect of earnings management on this relationship.
The empirical analysis results are as follows. First, as a result of examining the relationship between these corporate strategies and sustainable tax strategies(Minton et al. 2002), it was found that defender firms have higher sustainable tax strategies than prospector firms. Second, as a result of analyzing the effect of earnings management on the relationship between corporate strategy and tax sustainability, earnings management reduces tax sustainability, but for defender firms, there is a positive (+) difference between earnings management and sustainable tax strategies. This is consistent with previous studies that earnings management lowers persistence, and it is judged that defender firms adjust earnings for sustainable tax strategies.
The verification result of this study is meaningful in that it expanded the previous studies that looked at corporate strategy and tax avoidance to examine the difference in sustainable tax strategies according to corporate strategy and to examine the effect of earnings management on sustainable tax strategies. This suggests empirical evidence that business performance varies depending on business strategy, and that sustainable tax strategies are different due to differences in business performance. A more sophisticated analysis of corporate management strategies and additional research based on this are expected in the future.

The Effect of Family Business Succession and its Types on the Earnings Management and Tax Avoidance of Firms
Authors:   Academic Society of Global Business Administration, Yoon You-Jin , Lee Hyun-Ah
Published: September 2022

Succession in family business by inheritance or gifting of the ownership plays an important role in the economic development by maintaining company’s sustainability through the transfer of internal business expertise and accumulated technology. Nevertheless, the ownership transfer process in the Korean family businesses has largely been hindered by the imposition of a high inheritance tax. In this context, this study analyzes the level of earnings management and tax avoidance before and after the ownership succession in these companies. In particular, the family business succession is classified into ownership succession and management succession in order to highlight the difference in the level of earnings management and tax avoidance.
The study conducts a multiple regression analysis for a sample of 9,361 firm-year observations of external audit companies from 2004 to 2018 to present the following results. First, the level of earnings management falls after the succession of family business. Second, the decrease in the level of earnings management after succession is greater for the ownership succession than for the management succession. Third, there is little impact on the level of tax avoidance by the succession of family business. Lastly, the ownership succession in family business tends to be accompanied with higher level of tax avoidance than the management succession. These results suggest that family business succession is likely to lead to stable management performance in the long-term perspective, while the taxable benefits in the succession process may not be effective for the Korean family businesses. In addition, it is suggested that the levels of earnings management and tax avoidance can be differed by the type of family business succession because succeeding managers tend to pursue different goals depending on the type of succession. This study will provide useful information to various stakeholders regarding family business succession and encourage the smooth transmission of family businesses to the younger generation in Korea.

Authors:   Academic Society of Global Business Administration, Kim Dong-Young
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine how the foreign ownership ratio affects the credit rating and the interaction effect of the foreign ownership ratio and the ESG rating rating on the credit rating of a sound company. In this study, the ESG evaluation grade is divided into 4 characteristics: 1) ESG integration sector, 2) ESG environment sector, 3) ESG social sector, and 4) ESG governance sector.
Combining the research results, the correlation analysis shows credit ratings and interest variables: 1) foreign ownership ratio and ESG evaluation information integration sector, 2) foreign ownership ratio and ESG evaluation rating environmental sector, 3) foreign ownership ratio and ESG evaluation information social sector, 4) The result showed that there was a significant positive (+) correlation between the foreign ownership ratio and the ESG evaluation grade governance sector. And looking at the results of the regression analysis on the effects of independent variables on credit ratings, the four regression coefficients for each characteristic of the foreign ownership ratio and ESG rating 1) integrated sector, 2) environment sector, 3) social sector, and 4) governance sector are: It was significantly shown as a positive (+) value at the 1% level. These results show that all four ESG characteristics significantly affect the credit score of a sound company with a positive (+) value as the interaction effect between the foreign equity ratio and ESG evaluation information increases.
These research results suggest that if a company's financial condition becomes sound through ESG management activities (integration, environment, society, and governance) along with securing a foreign investor's ownership stake, the company's risk decreases and its credit score rises. . Therefore, it is presumed that the disclosure information of credit ratings plays a mediating role as useful information for foreign investors in the capital market.

The seed variability showed intraspecific stability of the ultrastructure and low variability of metric features within the studied range. Studied species showed differences in the ultrastructure, which will be valuable for diagnostic purposes. We present and describe, for the first time, the ultrastructure of S. polymorphum seeds.
La Reine, entre résistance et obéissance
Authors: Antoine Aurélien
Published: September 2022

Jeune princesse dans les gravats de la guerre, la future Élisabeth II épousa la cause de la résistance de son peuple contre le joug nazi à l’unisson de la voix courageuse du Premier ministre, Winston Churchill. Son action durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale témoigne déjà de sa capacité à allier résistance et obéissance. Toutefois, son règne reste le plus souvent marqué par le renoncement en raison de la convention constitutionnelle établie depuis des décennies selon laquelle le monarque au Royaume-Uni n’exerce pas directement le pouvoir. Il ne faudrait pas en déduire pour autant que la Reine est une institution fantoche. Malgré les crises, la stabilité du règne d’Élisabeth II doit beaucoup à cet équilibre subtil entre résistance et obéissance qui s’appuie sur les moyens politiques et juridiques dont elle a disposé pendant plus de soixante-dix ans.
Une perspective anthropologique sur les pratiques de responsabilité des entreprises dans les chaînes de valeur mondiales
Authors: Knöpfel Laura
Published: September 2022

Résumé : Cette contribution présente une perspective d’anthropologie juridique sur la gouvernance des entreprises minières dans les chaînes de valeur mondiales. Elle emmène le lecteur dans un ensemble de relations entreprise-communauté à la « frontière des ressources » d’une entreprise du secteur primaire à El Cesar, dans le nord de la Colombie. Une pratique particulière de la responsabilité des entreprises – les programmes sociaux – est présentée et ses effets sur les relations entre l’entreprise et la communauté sont explorés. L’argument anthropologique est que les programmes sociaux poursuivent un cycle de réciprocité par lequel l’entreprise minière forge des relations étroites et enchevêtrées avec les communautés locales. Dans cette proximité, l’entreprise assume et exprime des responsabilités de grande envergure pour le bien-être économique et social des communautés locales. Cette conception anthropologique des relations entre les entreprises et les communautés et des responsabilités des entreprises aux frontières des ressources trouve une contrepartie juridique dans les obligations contractuelles et les droits des tiers bénéficiaires. Par conséquent, le droit des contrats pourrait et devrait jouer un rôle central dans la réglementation des chaînes de valeur mondiales dans le secteur primaire et au-delà.
The effectiveness of whole-body vibration on the attenuation of delayed-onset muscle soreness in healthy untrained individuals: a randomised controlled trial
Authors: Dabbagh A. , Sarvestani F.K.
Published: September 2022

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a condition that happens following eccentric or intensive exercises. Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a potential treatment for DOMS; however, there is a lack of studies assessing its effectiveness in the untrained population. Our study objective was to test the efficacy of WBV compared with no treatment on pain and knee strength in healthy adults with DOMS. We randomly allocated 52 participants, 12 men and 40 women, aged 18 to 28 years, into WBV (n=26) and control (n=26) groups. The eligibility criteria included no history of injury, strengthening or aerobic exercises within the past six months. The participants walked on a treadmill to introduce DOMS. 24 h later, the WBV group received one session of WBV treatment, with their knees bent to 60° for 1 min (frequency, 30 Hz; amplitude 2-5 mm). We assessed pressure pain threshold (PPT), visual analogue scale (VAS), and knee maximum isometric force (MIF) at four time points. We did a one-way repeated measures ANOVA of each outcome measure, followed by a t-test and Bonferroni post-hoc test. The between-group differences were not significant at the baseline and 24 h post-DOMS (P>0.05). Statistical analyses revealed significant differences between the two groups for all variables at 96 h post-DOMS inducement (P<0.05), with mean differences for PPT, MIF and VAS being 1.19 kilo Pascals (95%CI = 0.78-1.32), 42.87 Newtons (95%CI = 28.53-56.98), and -2.39 (95%CI = -3.13- -1.98), respectively. Moreover, differences between the two groups were statistically significant for MIF 168 h post-DOMS (P<0.05). WBV can effectively improve pain and muscle strength; therefore, beneficial treatment for recovery of DOMS symptoms. However, determining the exact dose, frequency, and best time of application is pending future research.

Robust dissipativity and passivity of stochastic Markovian switching CVNNs with partly unknown transition rates and probabilistic time-varying delay
Authors: Li Qiang , Gong Weiqiang , Zhang Linzhong , Wang Kai
Published: September 2022

This article addresses the robust dissipativity and passivity problems for a class of Markovian switching complex-valued neural networks with probabilistic time-varying delay and parameter uncertainties. The main objective of this article is to study the proposed problem from a new perspective, in which the relevant transition rate information is partially unknown and the considered delay is characterized by a series of random variables obeying bernoulli distribution. Moreover, the involved parameter uncertainties are considered to be mode-dependent and norm-bounded. Utilizing the generalized It$ \hat{o} $'s formula under the complex version, the stochastic analysis techniques and the robust analysis approach, the $ (M, N, W) $-dissipativity and passivity are ensured by means of complex matrix inequalities, which are mode-delay-dependent. Finally, two simulation examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Cette étude porte sur la façon dont les journaux belges présentent la vie bruxelloise, ainsi que sur la façon dont ces représentations sont corrélées à des schémas culturels plus généraux qui influent sur les perceptions de la population. Une analyse des correspondances multiples nous a permis de constater que dans l’ensemble, la presse regroupe des concepts pour forger deux représentations diamétralement opposées : la première correspond à une perception « phobique » de Bruxelles, centrée sur les aspects négatifs de la vie citadine, tandis que la seconde traduit une vision « cosmopolite » de la capitale, l’accent étant mis sur son dynamisme et sur d’autres atouts qui lui sont propres. En outre, en matière de description de la vie bruxelloise, les différences entre les journaux tiennent davantage à leur orientation (élitaire ou populaire) qu’à la langue de publication (néerlandais ou français).

Le rap au prétoire : luttes politico-judiciaires autour de deux clips (Jo le Phéno et Nick Conrad)
Authors: Carinos Vasquez Emmanuelle
Published: September 2022

Par l’ethnographie de deux procès, celui du rappeur Jo le Phéno, mis en examen pour son titre « Bavure », et celui de Nick Conrad pour « PLB », cet article analyse le rôle de l’institution judiciaire dans la construction sociale du genre rap. Alors que les commentaires récents de spécialistes du droit insistent sur l’idée d’un « bouclier juridique » octroyé au rap, les deux artistes sont condamnés en première instance. L’article propose donc d’élucider le paradoxe d’une jurisprudence apparemment protectrice et de condamnations encore fréquentes. L’analyse comparée des deux affaires permet d’identifier des « prises » par lesquelles l’institution judiciaire définit l’accès des titres incriminés au statut d’œuvre d’art et à la parole engagée légitime et légale en s’appuyant sur des interactions, catégories et représentations traversées de rapports sociaux de pouvoir (âge, classe, sexe, race). Les audiences, envisagées comme espaces de violence symbolique, permettent de documenter une dynamique commune aux deux procès : le retournement – par le tribunal – de la revendication – par les artistes – de la frontalité et l’ancrage dans un vécu réel comme choix artistiques en tant que prises pour l’illégitimation des œuvres et des prévenus. Ces derniers sont alors catégorisés via des assignations minorisantes qui les éloignent du statut d’artiste pourtant reconnu dans les jurisprudences. À travers ces deux cas, on voit comment l’institution judiciaire construit l’« (il)légitimité paradoxale » du rap, identifiée par Karim Hammou à l’orée des années 2010 (2012, 2016) : genre artistique qui n’est ni complètement légitimé, ni complètement illégitime, mais qui est particularisé comme minoritaire, ambivalence expliquant la coexistence de jurisprudences protectrices et de condamnations.
“I’m a Businesswoman/Come and Make Me Coffee*”. How Power Relations Informed the Social Mobility of French Female Rappers in the 1990s
Authors: Hammou Karim
Published: September 2022

What were the aspirations of women who began a rapping career in 1990s France? Were they looking to make it in a male-dominated world? To leave behind a dominated social position and enjoy an artist’s life? To assert the public existence of postcolonial minorities? Based primarily on life narratives, this article analyses the social mobility of female French rappers in the 1990s. It shows the importance of considering both subjective and objective career experiences, as well as the manifold power relations informing trajectories within a social space whose hierarchies are multidimensional. An often unseen dimension in the analysis of artistic careers, the transformations of social hierarchies from childhood to adulthood, and by extension age relations, are crucial here. At odds with the commonplace assumption that women get into male-dominated rap artist careers to subvert the gender order, this study shows that for a majority of these women, rap works as a generational matrix of politicization in which the experience of territorial and ethno-racial discriminations is key. As they grow older, however, this politicization contributes to denaturalizing new social hierarchies, starting with gender hierarchies. The impact of power relations is notable in both subjective and objective career experiences. Subjectively, the taste for rap and the transition to its practice are part of a politicization of inequalities which is perceived as a “generational” experience, which can be transferred from one type of inequality to the next over the course of a career or retrospectively played down as “teenage revolt”. Objectively, age relations redefine gender relations by exacerbating the double bind to which female rappers are confronted throughout their careers, during which the main turning points occur from childhood to adulthood. Still, for most of these women, the practice of rap contributes to an upward social mobility, particularly in comparison to their parents, most of whom are working-class and/or members of racialized minorities, and who have often performed subordinate jobs with demanding working hours.
The Problems of Gender Inequality in the Period of Globalization
Authors: Chitadze Nika
Published: September 2022

Gender inequality is a characteristic of a social structure, according to which different social groups, in this case, men and women, have stable differences and unequal opportunities in society resulting from them. The social ethology of gender is a limitless field for the study of attitudes, sexist prejudices, discrimination, the emergence of social roles, and norms. As with any prejudice, sexist prejudices are waning and fading away, but the latent prejudice remains. Nevertheless, when forming the psychological image of representatives of gender groups, established gender stereotypes cannot be discounted: they often act as an obstacle to achieving true equality of men and women in society.
The Influence of Internet Addiction on the Mental Health of Young People
Authors: Manic Mihajlo
Published: September 2022

The author points out that the intensive use of the internet and its “charm” in recent years have led to the emergence of a phenomenon known as “internet addiction.” The internet itself is a harmless tool, but improper use of the network can increase the risk of addiction, mental health, and social relations disorders. Most people think that addiction is related only to the use of chemical compounds such as alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, and heroin, but experts believe that anything that stimulates a human being and makes them feel energetic can be addictive. Addiction treatment is not limited to drug therapy. Whenever a habit becomes compulsive, such as gambling, drugs, alcohol, or even playing computer games, chatting, surfing the web, it can also be considered addictive. Behavioral addictions should not be neglected due to lack of “material.” What makes people addicted is a pleasant experience in performing that behavior, just as addicts feel when they use chemical drugs.
Aspects of Security in Correlation Between the Use of Public, Urban, and Virtual Spaces
Authors: Hristic Natasa Danilovic , Stefanovic Nebojsa
Published: September 2022

For public space to be adequately used and considered to be for the good of all citizens, it must not be privatized, and it is desirable for it to be safe. Tertiary activities have taken primacy by introducing the concepts of consumer society, the information age, and globalization, while the context and phenomenon of public urban space has found its parallel counterpart in cyberspace. The virtual world has offered new spaces for meetings and socializing, relieved of the limitations imposed by space and time and enriched with numerous possibilities and benefits. It has become a new reality, more important than the physical environment. The authors draw a parallel between public urban spaces and virtual reality, focusing on the aspects of safety of use, as an important factor in the quality of life. The problem of how to provide the desired level of security, without encroaching on privacy and personal freedom, without conducting surveillance, and without imposing exclusivity, remains the same, and even in the virtual world, it is becoming more pronounced.
