FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS COMPARISON OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY BEFORE AND DURING THE PANDEMIC PERIOD : 2018-2021 ANALYSIS
Authors: Lestari Tri , Damhudi Dedi , Rastryana Ulta , Rusmayanti Santi
Published: October 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the pharmaceutical industry became a priority sector for the government's efforts towards achieving the Making Indonesia 4.0 program. This priority was driven by the increased demand for supplements, vitamins, and medications to boost immune systems. Unlike other sectors that experienced a decline in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, the pharmaceutical industry saw an upward trend. This presents an interesting opportunity to assess the financial performance of these pharmaceutical companies. The objective of this assessment is to determine whether there are any differences in financial performance between the pre-pandemic and during the pandemic periods (2018-2021) in the pharmaceutical industry. The study involved a sample of 10 pharmaceutical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, including both state-owned enterprises (BUMN) and private companies. The assessment method employed was the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test, as the available data did not follow a normal distribution. The research findings indicate that the Current Ratio (CR), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR), and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) showed no significant differences between the pre-pandemic period (2018-2019) and during the COVID-19 pandemic period (2020-2021).

Authors: Lambert Edward , Deyganto Kanbiro Orkaido , Algasse Karo
Published: October 2023

This study examines the relationship between financial literacy and the sustainable development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Africa. Using a quantitative research approach, a regression analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of financial knowledge, financial skills, and financial experience on MSMEs’ sustainable development. The results revealed that all three variables had statistically significant effects on sustainable development, as indicated by p-values below the 5% level of significance. The findings suggest that a higher level of financial knowledge, practical financial skills, and hands-on experience in financial matters positively influence the sustainable development of MSMEs. These results contribute to the existing literature on financial literacy and provide insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to enhance the financial capabilities of MSMEs to promote sustainable economic growth in Africa.
Neuropsychoanalysis and Dual-Aspect Monism
Authors: Hart Foxx
Published: October 2023

Proponents of neuropsychoanalysis often invoke dual-aspect monism (DAM) as an epistemological framework to justify neuropsychoanalysis as a theoretical and clinical endeavor. This paper investigates whether two case studies from applied neuropsychoanalytic literature are consistent with the tenets of dual-aspect monism. The paper finds that while dual-aspect monism remains a promising framework for unifying neuroscientific and psychoanalytic paradigms, there is work to be done to make studies in applied neuropsychoanalysis consistent with a DAM framework. Otherwise, neuropsychoanalysis will remain neuroscience by another name.
Somatic evolution of Cancer: A new synthesis
Authors: Baig Ulfat , Kharate Rohini , Watve Milind
Published: October 2023

Cancers have been interpreted either as somatic evolution of cheater cells that escape replication regulation or alternatively as non-healing wounds. Both the interpretations have substantial support as well as glaring anomalies but the two have not been put together to make a coherent synthesis. We argue here that mechanisms and pathways to escape the normal regulation of cell proliferation do not need to evolve de novo. Mechanisms to override the normal regulation have already evolved for wound healing and tissue regeneration. Almost all of the hallmarks of cancer are also seen in the wound healing process. This suggests that cancer develops not by any de novo gain of function but by exaptation of pre-evolved wound healing functions. Somatic evolution that makes the wound healing triggers constitutive is not mutation limited but selection limited and the selective forces are dependent on the tissue microenvironment. Some mechanisms for such selection have been suggested. Many more need to be investigated. A series of mechanisms have evolved to minimize the risk of cancers which may fail in an altered lifestyle context. We support our synthesis with multiple lines of evidence and also make differential testable predictions. This evolutionary perspective challenges multiple prevalent ideas, suggests novel lines of research and also has translatable implications for cancer prevention.
Resentment and Multiculturalism: Kymlicka’s Canada, Bonilla Maldonado’s Colombia and Modood’s UK
Authors: Imbert Patrick
Published: October 2023

Multiculturalism is linked to theoretical approaches and social policies, which aims to encourage active interaction between groups and individuals in a given society. Multiculturalism has been theorized by the Canadian thinker Will Kymlicka who fosters a liberal democratic approach linked to Human Rights. In this article, Kymlicka’s approach is compared with Daniel Bonilla Maldono and Héctor Alonso Moreno Parra, two Colombian researchers who were influenced by Kymlicka and who are analysing the Colombian multicultural Constitution. Kymlicka is also compared with Tariq Modood who contextualizes multiculturalism within Islamic minorities in the UK and considers the impact of resentment in the dynamic of migration. Last but not least, the Canadian Doug Saunders presents the situation of migrants in slums and suburbs and emphasizes the relationship between economic well-being and multiculturalism. This leads us to contextualize these diverging perspectives on multiculturalism within the framework of a Girardian conception of human relations based on conflict and scapegoating. While comparing these different perspectives, the article underscores the fact that, until now, most thinkers did not sufficiently consider the impact of economic integration and the difference in educational credentials on the dynamics of recognition within the contemporary globalized knowledge-based society.
Empowering Minds: The Evolution of Higher Education in Tamil Nadu towards Innovation and Excellence
Authors: Saravanakumar AR , Krishnamoorthy K.
Published: October 2023

This article focuses on proposed reforms to be implemented in Tamil Nadu to achieve excellence and development in the realm of higher education. The quality of higher education is intrinsically linked to a nation's economic and social development. In a rapidly developing nation such as India, with its vast population, reforming higher education to meet current needs has become increasingly significant. Pragmatic policy directives from the government are essential for the proper growth of higher education, given the complex situation in the country. In recent years, the higher education sector has expanded remarkably. After studying the dominant reforms made at the global level, India should adopt measures that are relevant to the Indian situation. It is important to note that globalization cannot be ignored, and global aspirations should be taken into account when implementing reform measures in higher education in Tamil Nadu. Only a deep understanding of the subjects can make learners and researchers innovative. The significance of research for development in every field should be ingrained in the psyche of planners, administrators, and rulers. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire world recognized the importance of research in vaccine development to prevent the spread of the dreaded disease. Interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research are the need of the hour. The curriculum should be tailored to meet the needs of the students and create employable graduates, inspiring the youth to become entrepreneurs. Skill-oriented education for employability should be the focus at every stage of curriculum development. Personalized learning and mentor-mentee learning should also be seriously implemented. Above all, universal human values-based learning should be adopted.
Biological evolution, sociocultural evolution, cosmological evolution: the search for links
Authors: Frauen Jan-Boje
Published: October 2023

This article brings together transcendental philosophy, biosemiotics and quantum mechanics to derive a unified theory of biological, sociocultural and cosmological evolution.

It is argued that all three of them are characterized by the evolution of emerging subjectivity from the objective world following a natural law of emergence.

The determined final end of causation, it is argued with Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Willhelm Joseph von Schelling and John Archibald Wheeler, is to posit its own creation in observation.

However, it is also argued that this picture is purely _philosophical_: it is a different way of looking at the cosmos but makes no practical difference. Any attempt to utilize the theory in everyday life is an illegitimate crossover into pseudo-science.
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde: From Two Branches of Immune Response to Three Types of Interferon Response
Authors: Brown Brent
Published: October 2023

Interferons were the original prototype cytokine system discovered in 20th-century research. As the name implies, they were originally thought to be synthesised and secreted between cells. Thanks to technological advances, the processes involved in protein secretion can be explained comparatively more clearly at both the genetic and biochemical levels. The discovery of interferon (IFN) occurred when genetic research was still in its infancy. Franklin and Wilkins discovered the structure and function of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) at the same time as Crick and Watson; however, Isaacs and Lindemann, two scientists, described the first IFN in 1957. Mutations can be caused by inherent genetic protein synthesis and during infection as well as within IFN regulation pathways affecting cell proliferation. This remains central to host cell IFN synthesis and effects through IFN protein receptor subunits defined by 6 protein domains. Type II IFN is key to immune cell function secreted by a variety of immune cells, mainly natural killer (NK) as well as T cells. Single–stranded and/or double–stranded RNA/DNA viruses, as well as bacterial infections (e.g., _Escherichia coli_) and fungal infections (e.g., _Aspergillus_), also affect IFN regulation. Pathogenic proteins utilise intra/extracellular proteins that sense foreign antigens like Toll–like Receptors (TLRs), affected by mutations within the human cellular IFN transduction pathways. Since the discovery of the third IFN type in 2003, when immune cell phenotypes were further characterised, questions remain about the immunological mechanisms contributing to the regulation of the innate and adaptive host immune system. Alterations in the synthesis of type I/II/III host IFNs can differentially and beneficially alter homeostatic cellular pathways in pathological disease, with type I IFN being synthesised in cancer as well as by homeostatic cells. Therefore, considered here are the overall IFN molecular, cell regulatory mechanisms in the context of immune cell research developments.
Domestic enzyme preparation in compound feeds for young pigs on fattening
Authors: Mihaylova Liliya , Lavrentev Anatoliy
Published: October 2023

Abstract. Rational organization of feeding is always one of the decisive factors for achieving high productivity of animals. An important task of modern pig breeding is to reduce costs by increasing the digestibility of digested feed nutrients by the animal's body. One of the significant ways that are necessary to solve the task can be considered the additional inclusion of biologically active substances in the composition of animal feed for farm animals, namely modern enzyme preparations of a new generation. The animal body needs them to increase the digestibility of nutrients coming from the feed. The purpose is to study the effect of “Feedbest P5000 GT” enzyme preparation as part of compound feeds on the growth, development and feed costs of fattened young pigs. Methods. In order to achieve this goal, a scientific and economic experiment was conducted on young pigs of large white breed aged from 60 to 210 days. For the experiment, 4 groups of young pigs of 12 heads each were formed according to the principle of analog groups, taking into account breed, gender, age, and live weight. The animals are kept in groups. To determine the effectiveness of “Feedbest P5000 GT” for the growth and development of fattened young pigs, weighings were carried out every thirty days and animal measurements were taken, in addition, the consumption of feed and residues for the next day was taken into account. The composition of compound feeds enriched with “Feedbest P5000 GT” enzyme preparation during the experiment allowed to increase the growth, development and reduce the cost of compound feed per unit of production of fattened young pigs. Results. The use of “Feedbest P5000 GT” enzyme preparation in compound feeds made it possible to increase the average daily live weight gain of young pigs by 4.8 %, 9.3 % and 6.8 %, to obtain a reduction in feed costs by 4.7 %, 8.6 % and 6.5 % compared with the young pigs of the control group. The best indicators were found in animals of the second experimental group, where the studied enzyme preparation in the amount of 90 g/t was additionally introduced into the compound feed. Scientific novelty. For the first time, studies have been conducted to determine the optimal dose of the enzyme preparation “Feedbest P5000 GT” in compound feeds for young pigs. The effect of the drug on growth, development and feed costs has been studied.
Stable strong duality for cone-constrained set-valued optimization problems: A perturbation approach
Authors:   Ho Chi Minh City International University, Nguyen Dinh ,   Vietnam National Univerisity, Ho Chi Minh City, Dang Long Hai ,   Tien Giang University
Published: October 2023

In this paper we consider a general set-valued otimimization problem of the model Winf F(x), s.t. x in X where $F\colon X\rightrightarrows Y\cup\{+\infty_{Y}\}$ is a proper mapping. The problem is then embed into a parametric problem and can be express as (P) $\mathop{\winf}\bigcup\limits_{x\in X}\Phi(x,0_Z)$ where $\Phi\colon X\times Z\rightrightarrows Y^\bullet$ is a proper set-valued {\it perturbation mapping} such that $ \Phi(x,0_Z) = F(x) $. A representation of the epigraph of the conjugate mapping $\Phi^\ast$ is established (Theorem 1) and it is used as the basic tool for establishing a general stable strong duality for the problem (P) (Theorem 3). As applications, the mentioned general strong duality result is then applied to a cone-constrained set-valued optimization problem (CSP) to derive three dual problems for (CSP): The Lagrange dual problem and two forms of Fenchel-Lagrange dual problems for (CSP). Consequently, three stable strong duality results for the three primal-dual pairs of problems are derived (Theorems 4 and 5), among them, one is entirely new while the others extend some known ones in the literature.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: The consumption of rice is rising in response to worldwide population development. The purpose of this study was to determine the stages of plant development, specifically the transition stage from panicle initiation to the flowering stage, which determines the number of spikelets per branch. In addition, this research studied the changes in physiology and morphology during the flowering development of rice in a garden. Methods: Plant height, number of leaves, number of tillers, and flowering time were all measured. Plant growth regulators such as cytokinin, auxin, gibberellic acid (GA), and acid abscisic (ABA) in the apical shoot at different stages of flower development were analyzed. Results: The activities of indole acetic acid (IAA), zeatin, and gibberellins in the apical shoot of the stem elongation stage are higher than those in plants of the panicle initiation stage. At the flowering stage, the rates of photosynthesis and respiration of the leaves at positions 1, 2, and 3 were higher than those of the other leaves. In addition, photosynthetic pigments at leaf positions 2, 3, and 4 were higher than those at positions 1 and 3. Conclusion: The results show that the relationship between changes in morphological, physiological, and biochemical indicators during the rice growth stages was discussed.
Effects of pasteurization on the physicochemical, sensory properties and microbiological quality of beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) wine during storage
Authors:   Department of Food Techonology, School of Biotechnology, International University - Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam, Nguyen Giang Thi Huong
Published: October 2023

Introduction: In the beverage sector, pasteurization is combined with another means of preservation such as concentration, acidification to extend product shelf-life by inactivating all non-spore-forming pathogenic bacteria and the majority of vegetative spoilage microorganisms, as well as inhibiting or stopping microbial and enzyme activity. The main objective of this study was to focus on the effect of pasteurization and storage on the physical, antioxidant, and microbiological properties of red beetroot (beta vulgaris l.) wine. Method: After fermentation in 10 days, the red beetroot wine was either pasteurized at 700C in 10 minutes or unpasteurized before storing at 40C in different time (1 month, 2 months). Physicochemical properties and microbiological quality of beetroot wine were analyzed to study effect of pasteurization and storage on those properties of beetroot wine. Results: Physical properties like pH, total dissolved solids content were significantly affected by pasteurization (higher pH and higher TTS in pasteurized samples than in unpasteurized samples) but they were not affected by storage time in this project. After fermentation, the TPC of red beetroot wine was lost but it kept unchanged after pasteurization. Vitamin C of the wine sample was lost after pasteurization only when storage. Pasteurization and 2 month-storage caused significant reduction on antioxidant capacity of red beetroot wine. Sensory quality of beetroot wine was not affected by pasteurization but it was in the case of storage. Microorganism quality of wine was acceptable for consumption. Pasteurization process is effective in increasing shelf life of red beetroot wine but does not significantly affect its nutritional and sensory values.

Introduction: It is unquestioned that self-healing polymers are being applied in numerous applications due to their indiscernible advantages, such as the extension of materials’ life span. Not surprisingly, researchers throughout the world concentrate on boosting the progression of the polymer. However, it takes 24 h or 48 h for the self-healing process of polymer-based materials in manifold studies to be efficacious. This can be thought of as a problematic hurdle slowing its advancement and application. Therefore, our research was conducted in an attempt to create a blended structure through hydrogen interplay between (thio)urethane bonds and H-acceptor heterocyclic moieties. Method: The integration of 5 wt%, 10 wt% and 20 wt% blended copolymer capable of forming H-bonds into the network structure was performed to gain a network blend. Furthermore, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, shape-memory and self-healing tests were employed for the determination of hydrogen bond formation coupled with various properties. Result: From the ATR-FTIR results, the occurrence of H-bonds was proven. In addition, the blends’ rates of shape recovery and shape fixity rates were more than 99%. It contributes to the mechanical recovery at 82.75% with the addition of 10 wt% of the blended copolymer after 10 h at 70 °C, surpassing those of the 5 wt% and 20 wt% blends. Conclusion: This study will pave the way for self-heling polymers to be utilized in different fields in the future.

Introduction: Yeast extract from brewer's spent yeast cells is a promising nutrition source for many applications in the food industry and biomass production. However, because of the impurities that cause the bitter and astringent flavor attributed to hop resins during fermentation, brewer's spent yeasts in the industry have not been widely used. Contaminants have been withdrawn by using a variety of techniques. However, most reported methods have focused on removing iso-alpha acid rather than tannin, which has anti-digestive and antimicrobial properties. This study focuses on removing tannins and evaluating their impact on reusing brewer's spent yeast in biomass production. Methods: In this work, Tween 80 was employed for the removal of tannins and other bitter substances from brewer’s spent yeasts. In addition to biochemical approaches, the efficiency of cultivating probiotics with autolysates from yeasts cleaned by various buffers is used to evaluate the effectiveness of eliminating tannins and bitter compounds. Results: In tannin removal, the outstanding efficiency of Tween 80 was four times higher than that of water and hypotonic 0.5% NaCl solution. The debittering efficiency increases from 77% to 83.6% by using Tween 80. Therefore, the cell density of Lactobacillus fermentum 4C cultures with the autolysate from Tween 80-treated spent yeast cells increased by 16.5% and 10.2% compared to that of cultures washed with distilled water or 0.5% NaCl, respectively. The autolysate of Tween 80-treated yeast cells is rich in protein and α-amino nitrogen. It shows advantages in culturing different strains of probiotics. Conclusions: By skipping the first stage of biomass creation, the reuse of spent yeasts in the production of yeast extracts will not only address environmental issues but also have a positive economic impact.

The Image of Young Leader Kim Jong Un via ”The Shortcut” by Kim Dae Seong: Understanding Typical Factor of Political Culture in North Korea
Authors:   University of Social Sciences & Humanities, VNU-HCM, Vietnam, La Tan Duy
Published: October 2023

Since the year 2010 when North Korea Kim Jong Il's health condition was confirmed fatal, Kim Jong Un (born in 1984) became known as the next legitimate successor and political leader of his family. From 2011, giant media enterprises around the world were attracted by the question upon the newly risen young leader's pattern of leadership in one of the most reclusive and secretive countries of the globe. In the North Korea, the image of the top leader of its polity is known to be built in extremity by which the leader plays as the utmost guardian who is able to deliver guidance and offer protection and at the same time represents the undefeatable status of the political entity desired by North Korean thinktanks. Published in 2014 in North Korea, translated and introduced to the Vietnamese public by Vietnam Writers' Association in 2020, The Shortcut by Kim Dae Seong proposed an interesting perspective of ``the insiders'' on deciphering the image of young leader Kim Jong Un which is totally different from the normality projected by Western medias. This paper is written primarily on the available source in The shortcut to argue the founding forces and factors of a young leader with heated devotion whilst being ripenly mature to exhibit unconditional love for his fervent followers. In the same lights, the work also depicts North Korea's views on national domestic policy which tends to make a shift from ``Military First'' politics (seongun jeongchi) to the inclusion of ``all for the advance of high-end technology'' strategies. In addition, this research also illustrates and interprets different aspects of adopting the thoughts of Confucianism in North Korean political culture from what normally known elsewhere in other East Asian countries.

Published: October 2023

Gaston Bachelard (1884 – 1962) and Carl Gustav Jung (1875 – 1962) may have had similar ground for their theories about the images in human imagination, the ground that originated and was shaped very long ago in humankind’s history. However, Bachelard and Jung are principally dissimilar about their treatment of the notion of imagination. While the concept of “collective unconscious” shapes Jung’s explication, Bachelard confirms that it is essentially the elements of the universe, namely earth, water, fire, and air, that generate dreams and mental images. Those substances enable writers to create meaningful and timeless images, without which their symbols are but perishable and vain. He named it material imagination, or imaginative analysis of material. On studying Emily Dickinson’s life and poetry, I have come to acknowledge her talent in poetry as having grown on the substance of “earth.” This essay examines and analyzes her poetry under the theory of material imagination by Bachelard, thus arriving at the conclusion that the element “earth” is visibly present in her life and imagination, making her poetry heavily affected by that ancient element.

After a five-decade establishment, the relationship between Vietnam and Australia has been developed significantly, rapidly, and substantially. From the first humanitarian aid packages in the years of 1973-1979, through the freezing period of 1979-1989, economy and trading became the first remarkable flourishing field in the relationship between Vietnam and Australia. Entering the twenty-first century entails some new prosperities in the relationship between Vietnam and Australia. The scientific agricultural and educational relationships have been founded to become a central pillar. In the context that many challenges to Asia-Pacific security resulted from the rise of China, many rapid adjustments in the relations between major powers, and many developments in the strategic competition between powers in this region; Australia and Vietnam both have the need to promote bilateral relationship, affirming their positions of middle powers in the international stage, in the purpose of maintaining national interests themselves. Additionally, both the economic-political-social development of Australia and of Vietnam not only do not challenge the security interest and the stable development of Southeast Asia but also contribute to tightening the stable cooperation and development of this region. Therefore, the key trend in the relationship between Vietnam and Australia is to strengthen cooperation to develop on the basis of equality, mutual respect and mutual benefits.

Repensar la disciplina histórica desde abajo y desde la periferia. El caso chileno frente a los nuevos desafíos
Authors: Alvarado Leyton Matías
Published: October 2023

Este artículo repiensa las exigencias que atraviesa la disciplina histórica, particularmente aquellas que rodean o se vuelven evidentes desde la Historia Social. Se propone así una lectura de su naturaleza epistemológica, tomando en consideración su desarrollo en el orbe, para luego dar paso a la evolución que esta rama de la disciplina ha tenido en el país. Esto permite arrojar luces respecto a los pasos a seguir para conseguir no solo mejores resultados, sino también investigaciones más comprometidas y empáticas con las problemáticas que actualmente se viven, proponiendo un rol más activo del historiador en sociedad. Dicho esfuerzo cobra mayor sentido al considerar el creciente hermetismo de las últimas décadas en el cual se ha ensimismado la disciplina histórica, relegada incluso en la academia, y alejada de la población, limitada, muchas veces, a una crítica intranscendente al mundo que la rodea y del cual el historiador es parte.
UKRAINE AS A GLOBAL PLAYER IN THE WORLD ECONOMY IN THE THIRD DECADE OF THE XXI CENTURY
Authors:   National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”, Voitko Serhii
Published: October 2023

The purpose of the study is to identify the prospects for the development of the national economy and the transformation of the infrastructure of Ukraine in the post-war reconstruction based on the study of the resource base, intellectual potential and the vision of other countries' development of our country. The research methodology is a critical analysis of the state and development prospects of elements of the socio-economic system using rating, comparative analysis and logical judgments. Based on the study of scientific articles, it has been proven that Ukraine has a high resource potential. Also, the country's economic system significantly affects the stock market, energy, food and fertilizer markets. We occupy the first place in Europe in terms of proven reserves of uranium ores and the first position in terms of arable land, the first place in the world in the export of sunflower and sunflower oil. We rank second in the world in terms of reserves of titanium, iron, and mercury ores, as well as in the installed capacity of nuclear power plants. The country ranks third in Europe in terms of shale gas reserves and the area of black soil. The results of modelling according to the National Institute Global Econometric Model (NiGEM) are given: a decrease in the level of world GDP by 1.0% and an increase in global inflation to 3.0% in 2022. The main negative consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war are highlighted. The main economic factors of influence include the opportunity cost of military investments; humanitarian losses of the financial system; the burden of post-war reconstruction. The work proves that the resource economy can provide insignificant revenues to the budget. It is emphasized the need to start the production of goods and the provision of services in the field of high technologies, in particular, based on Industry 4.0. Based on the analysis of the Human Capital Index, the need to develop the intellectual potential of Ukraine is substantiated. The main points for increasing the Investment Attractiveness Index are given. The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of developing the national economy of Ukraine based on the existing resource base, taking into account the intellectual potential to raise the subjectivity of the country to the level of a global player and successful integration into the cohort of countries with developed socio-economic systems.
