Impact of Shareholder Return Policies through Treasury Stocks on Information Asymmetry
Authors: Park Ginhyeuk , Lee Jangwoo , Choi Jaewon
Published: February 2025

This study empirically analyzes the impact of shareholder return policies through treasury stocks, at repurchase, holding, and retirement stages, on the level of information asymmetry between companies and shareholders. We measure the information asymmetry level using spreads between best ask and best bid. Our results show that the initial stage of repurchasing treasury stocks does not significantly affect the information asymmetry level between companies and shareholders. However, holding treasury stocks increases information asymmetry, while retiring them decreases it. These results indicate that the uncertainty of holding treasury stocks exacerbates information asymmetry, while the conclusiveness of retiring them alleviates it. Our study contributes to the existing literature by analyzing the impact of treasury stock-related activities as part of shareholder return policies affect information asymmetry between companies and shareholders. It offers a new perspective on shareholder return policy research and provides practical implications for corporate managers, investors, and policymakers.

Authors: Gugat Topan Dewa , Lawranta Gangga , Martiano Vereki , Ardy Vickrie
Published: February 2025

This research discusses the process of translating the drama script Wayang Padang by Wisran Hadi into a film scenario. Ecranization is the process of adapting from a text medium to a visual medium, which involves the transformation of narrative, characters and aesthetic elements. In this context, the research aims to identify the changes that occurred during the ecranization process, including story simplification, character adjustments, and visual processing to meet cinematic needs. The research results show that there are a number of significant modifications in the transfer from drama script to film scenario. Narrative transformation is carried out by simplifying the dialogue and storyline to create a more dynamic rhythm according to cinema needs. Visual development is a key element in the ecranization process, where the depiction of settings, costumes and character gestures are optimized to strengthen visual appeal. However, this research also found challenges in maintaining the cultural essence and moral messages contained in original works, especially in an effort to adapt them to modern audiences. The conclusion of this research emphasizes that the process of recreating the drama script "Wayang Padang" is not just a transfer of medium, but is also a creative effort to harmonize local cultural traditions with the film format. With the right approach, ecranization can be an effective means of introducing traditional literary works to the younger generation and a wider audience, without losing the underlying cultural values

Authors: Dian Eka Chandra Wardhana , Ali Muhamad , Nurlina Wiwin Erni Siti , Wulandari Catur
Published: February 2025

Indonesian as a lingua franca immerses many elements of the social life of its users. This integration is so powerful that the components in the source language code may contain a mix of regional languages. Thus, this research examines the socio-practical construction factors reflected in people's language styles in multiethnic communication. A qualitative design with ethnographic communication epistemology was used in this research and involved participants consisting of 8 ethnicities. Researchers, as the main instrument, equip themselves by recording the results of observations and carrying out initial analysis in data cards while collecting data. Observatory participants are used to collect data by researchers being directly involved in recording, observing, and field recording activities both descriptively and reflectively. The research data was the utterances between speakers and interlocutors in multiethnic communication and was collected through recording, observation, and field notes, which are both descriptive and reflective. Data analysis has been carried out through the stages of activities, data reduction, with a focus on data selection with sociopragmatic parameters, data presentation, analysis based on the theory of critical discourse, and conclusion. The result showed that the socio-practical construction model of Indonesians in multiethnic communication considers social distance, language power, cultural values, and situational variables. This research implies that the context, speech event, and who is being spoken to with various linguistic and discourse markers affect the form of the speaker's speech in communication. Further research could discover the development of sociopragmatic theory in multiethnic communication if Sr and Sp use different politeness modes.

Az emberierőforrás-menedzsment (EEM) tevékenységeit számos külső és belső tényező befolyásolja. Az 1980-as évek végén bekövetkezett rendszerváltozások előtt a legtöbb kelet-európai országban az állami tulajdonú vállalatok az EEM-tevékenysége elsősorban személyügyi funkció volt. Az elmúlt három évtizedben a helyzet jelentősen megváltozott. A gazdasági életben megjelenő multinacionális cégek igen jelentős mértékben járultak hozzá a magyarországi EEM átalakulásához. Befolyásoló tényező továbbá a szakszervezetek ereje és befolyása a közszférában és egyes speciális szektorokban. Az elmúlt három év eseményei jelentős hatással voltak a szervezetek és intézmények irányítási és EEM-rendszereire globálisan és Magyarországon egyaránt. Cikkünkben két egymást követő, 2022-ben és 2023-ban végzett kutatás során tapasztalt általános és EEM-hez kapcsolódó vállalati reakciókat mutatjuk be. Vizsgálatunk a Magyarországon működő hazai és külföldi tulajdonú cégekre irányult. Összességében megállapítható, hogy a nemzetközi nag4y9vállalatok az esetek többségében sokkal határozottabban és innovatívabban reagáltak a háborús konfliktus okozta helyzetekre.

Overview of Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana L.) Breeding and Prospects in Ethiopia: A Review
Authors: Berie Abunu Marefia , Abate Alemu
Published: February 2025

The world has faced challenges to produce more food to feed the growing population. Improved crop varieties key inputs for significant increases in production and productivity. Finger millet is thus one of a highly nutritious and food security crop. In Ethiopia, major achievements were made for major crops; however, the time and resources devoted to improving finger millet are low compared to other cereal crops. As a result, there is little scientific intervention aimed at improving finger millet. Besides, the crop is constrained by biotic, abiotic, and socioeconomic factors. As a result, the productivity of finger millet is far below its potential. Nowadays, there is an initiation and effort to develop improved finger millet varieties; hence, yield increases have been achieved in Ethiopia over the years. The available genetic resources, wide adaptability of the crop, and the current growing acreage have at times been considered opportunities to boost crop production and productivity. Strong research efforts and the transfer of technologies have to be strengthened in the country, and such efforts must be made in finger millet potential areas of the country. Thus, to lift the value as an alternative food crop capitalizing on these opportunities could ensure food and nutrition security in Ethiopia and the world. Therefore, the objective of this study was to review and document information on the breeding achievements made, as well as key challenges, opportunities, and interventions, to provide insight into the future of finger millet breeding in Ethiopia.

A obra, um poema narrativo de protesto, foi inspirado na devastação causada pela passagem do furacão Katrina em Nova Orleans em 2005. Diante da explícita inação do governo do país ante o sofrimento de grande parte da população local — majoritariamente negra — após o desastre, os versos de Finney convidam o leitor a refletir sobre a desigualdade de acesso à proteção que o Estado deveria conferir a todos os cidadãos estadunidenses.
Minoría de edad y donación de órganos de personas vivas: estado de la cuestión en Derecho Español
Authors: Doménech Javier Barceló
Published: February 2025

Una de las cuestiones más delicadas y controvertidas que suscita la donación de órganos de personas vivas tiene que ver con la posibilidad de que un menor de edad sea donante. Se plantea la situación cuando aparece como la única opción válida para intentar el trasplante que sirva para salvar la vida a otra persona. La legislación española no admite la donación de menores, pero tal solución se considera, cada vez más, como insuficiente, a la vista de ciertos casos planteados ante los Tribunales.
Audiência de custódia: considerações e possibilidades
Authors: Santos Julia Ângela Timóteo dos
Published: February 2025

O trabalho discute brevemente acerca da audiência de custódia. Mesmo a partir da Lei 12.403/11, nota-se o aumento de prisões preventivas, o que evidencia a utilização da prisão como primeira solução no combate à criminalidade. Contudo, somente uma fatia dos infratores é punida. Neste cenário, começa a se consolidar a audiência de custódia, fundamentada no direito de todo preso ser levado à presença de um juiz, no momento da prisão, para que se analise sua legalidade e conveniência. A audiência de custódia significa um avanço no sentido de um processo penal garantista e na legitimação do Estado Democrático de Direito.

Published: February 2025

Approximately 900 million individuals globally are said to have diseases associated with the skin, thus becoming one of the prevalent diseases in the world. Common conditions in southern Punjab are acne, psoriasis, and fungal infections. Eczema has associated red tones and is usually marked by dryness and itchiness. Psoriasis creates reddish patches due to the scale formation and the occurrence of thick patches. There are common forms of fungi infections known as ringworm and jock itch and mostly fungi are favored when in a warm and damp environment. Only through quick detection and treatment can one prevent critical cases of skin problems. Skin diseases prove difficult to diagnose because every skin is different in either the types or textures they hold. Researchers have recommended various early detection methods for them. Their solutions through a range of machine learning algorithms like random forest, naive Bayes, logistic regression, kernel SVM, KNN, and CNN based on which they used detection methods for various skin diseases. Based on the detailed research, the real-time symptoms from an IoT and machine learning model can diagnose the skin diseases. Cameras will take pictures of the skin images. IoT will measure body temperature, and a deep learning algorithm and CNN algorithm predict the diseases. The output is provided on the GUI as an Android application, in order to help them understand whether they have skin diseases and allergies early.
Illegal Cybersecurity Threats Created by Organizational Arsonists in Healthcare Organizations
Authors: Jones Laura , Burrell Darrell Norman
Published: February 2025

Insider cybersecurity threats in healthcare, often overlooked or narrowly defined as technical vulnerabilities, can be more accurately described as acts of organizational arson, representing deliberate, malicious acts designed to ignite chaos within digital ecosystems. Like physical arsonists who destroy property through fire, insider actors exploit their privileged access to organizational systems, causing financial devastation, operational disruption, and severe damage to organizational morale and stability. Insider incidents cost organizations millions annually, with cybersecurity teams dedicating significant time and resources to crisis management rather than strategic planning. This commentary-style paper reframes insider cybersecurity threats using the metaphor of organizational arsonists, offering a unique and powerful framework for understanding these complex risks. By integrating cybersecurity, law, and organizational psychology insights, the paper presents a comprehensive approach to mitigating insider threats that extend beyond technical defenses. It emphasizes the necessity of human-centric strategies, ethical accountability, and legal compliance, calling for organizations to adopt a holistic defense posture that addresses both technological vulnerabilities and behavioral risks. The paper's originality lies in bridging multiple disciplines and framing insider threats as technical challenges and full-scale organizational crises. Combining advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence with human behavior analysis provides actionable strategies for organizations to combat their own digital arsonists. This interdisciplinary approach encourages cybersecurity professionals, legal scholars, and organizational leaders to rethink insider threat management, creating a more resilient and secure organizational environment.
“The Class Is Full of Competitive Spirit:” A Qualitative Study of First-Year Saudi EFL Female Students’ Perceptions of Task-Based Learning
Authors: Al Sultan Hajar , Alkhaldi Nouf Abdulrahman , Alsubaie Hoor Abdulrahman , Alkhamis Fatimah Ahmed
Published: February 2025

With the shift toward learner-centered language teaching, studies within the Saudi educational system have explored Saudi EFL students’ motivation, experiences, and perceptions as key factors influencing engagement and achievement. However, limited research has investigated how task-based learning (TBL) is perceived and implemented in culturally specific contexts, particularly among female EFL university students. This study addresses this gap through a qualitative design grounded in Vygotskian sociocultural theory, examining first-year Saudi EFL female students’ perceptions of TBL and the factors influencing their engagement. Drawing on classroom observations and 10 in-depth semi-structured interviews, thematic analysis revealed key themes related to attitudes, task implementation, individual and group work dynamics, and factors influencing task engagement. A central finding was the duality in students’ perceptions, balancing enjoyment and engagement with emotional and cognitive challenges. While initial attitudes were mostly positive, a gradual shift in perceptions reflected growing self-efficacy. This duality, combined with the gradual shift in perceptions, underscores the interplay between supportive learning environments, language skills, self-efficacy, and task-related challenges. Students emphasized the importance of tasks promoting cognitive growth, supported by scaffolding, reflection, and collaboration. This study also highlighted the role of self-directed learning and growth mindset in managing emotions and building confidence. Recommendations include designing tasks with balanced complexity, effective scaffolding, and further research into students’ self-regulation, reflections, and task engagement. By addressing sociocultural and psychological factors, this research contributes nuanced insights into task engagement and TBL dynamics in Saudi higher education, advancing the understanding of language acquisition in culturally specific contexts.

Authors: Trihardani Luki , Sabilarrozak Billy Maulana , Erdiansyah Sandra Ravi
Published: February 2025

Flooding continues to pose a major challenge in urban areas of developing countries, necessitating effective humanitarian logistics, particularly during the preparedness phase. However, the absence of an optimized aid post-placement strategy remains a significant barrier to efficient aid distribution. This study presents a humanitarian logistics preparedness model that integrates K-means clustering with the Set Covering Location Problem (SCLP) to enhance aid post allocation. The clustering technique categorizes affected areas based on geographical proximity and flood severity, ensuring a more effective resource distribution. Compared to traditional district-based grouping, the proposed approach improves resource allocation efficiency by 5.61%. The model was tested using Excel Solver under varying disaster impact scenarios. Findings indicate that in the 100% affected scenario, 37 villages were covered by 18 aid posts, with round-trip distance of 74.72 km. In the 50% affected scenario, 19 villages were served by 8 aid posts, with the distance reduced to 33.65 km. The results highlight the importance of integrating clustering techniques with optimization models to improve data-driven humanitarian logistics planning. The proposed framework facilitates systematic aid distribution, making it a scalable solution that can be adapted to other disaster-prone regions to strengthen flood disaster response strategies

The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals provides recommendations on sanitation frequencies for rodent caging equipment; however, it allows for performance standards to be used when extending this frequency for individually ventilated cage (IVC) caging. Our institution wanted to reexamine our current standards of care for mouse IVC caging, which includes a 14-d cage bottom and bedding change as well as the use of corncob bedding. This was driven by desire to reduce the stress to mice associated with cage change, and by recent literature showing a potential improved absorbency and multiple health and welfare benefits of paper pulp cellulose bedding products. Therefore, this study sought to compare the impact of different rodent bedding types (paper pulp cellulose and corncob) on mouse IVC microenvironmental parameters over a 14-d compared with a 21-d cage change frequency. Ammonia levels, temperature, humidity, urine latrine size, and the overall animal condition were assessed throughout the 21-d period. Our data indicate that IVC cage bottom and bedding change can be extended to 21 d for either paper pulp cellulose or corncob bedding based on ammonia levels, temperature, humidity, and the animal’s overall condition. However, based on early cage change criteria, more frequent cage changes may be warranted before 21 d in cages with corncob, as there was a significantly increased urine latrine size in cages with corncob bedding compared with paper pulp cellulose bedding.

Buried abrasive tool wear products on the surface of critical titanium alloy products become a fatal defect that can significantly reduce the service life of the unit due to intense abrasive wear of the contacting surfaces and the formation of fatigue cracks. Using the example of single grain cutting, it is shown that as a result of micro-piercing of an abrasive material, metal transport to the contacting surfaces of the grain decreases and wear products are introduced into the treated surface. When grinding with tools made of superhard materials, the possibility of monitoring and controlling this process by X-ray spectral analysis is limited resulting from a significant error in determining small concentrations of light elements. In order to measure the parameters of the wear products transport of an abrasive material, a method based on the analysis of polished surfaces images obtained in backscattered electrons is proposed. Based on the results of the elemental analysis, the composition of the wear products and the measurement errors of the transfer parameters under grinding with silicon carbide and cubic boron nitride (CBN) wheels, namely the number and area of buried particles, were determined. The share of structured crystals of abrasive materials for silicon carbide wheels is 80% and for CBN disks is 70%, including 20% corundum crystals (filler).

Digitalization of fiduciary and notary is a strategic step in modernizing the legal system to answer the need for efficiency and transparency in the digital era. This research is motivated by the slow process of fiduciary registration and manual document attestation which is often considered inefficient and not in accordance with the demands of modern technology. This research aims to identify impacts, challenges, and solutions in the implementation of digital systems, including electronic signatures and blockchain, to support fiduciary and notary transformation. With qualitative methods, this research involves literature studies, interviews with 25 legal practitioners, and analysis of the application of digital technology in developed countries such as Estonia and Singapore. The results show that digitalization can cut the time for fiduciary registration from five working days to less than 24 hours, as well as increase transparency through real-time tracking. However, challenges in the form of technological resistance, infrastructure limitations, and data security issues remain obstacles. Blockchain is considered a potential solution for maintaining document integrity, but it requires large investments and strong regulation. In conclusion, the digitization of fiduciary and notary has great potential to improve efficiency, transparency, and security. The success of this transformation depends on the equitable distribution of infrastructure, education, and harmonization of regulations to ensure the legal validity of digital documents in the cyber era

Background: To examine the effect of tubal flushing on the fertility outcome of patients with tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) undergoing salpingectomy. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 93 patients who received unilateral salpingectomy for tubal EP. Tubal flushing via hysteroscopic hydrotubation was performed after surgery on only 42 patients in the cohort. All patients were followed up for their fertility outcomes by phone interview. Results: Intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) was documented in 48 cases. The cumulative IUP rate was 64.6% in the patients who received tubal flushing, and 54.7% in the patients without tubal flushing (p = 0.071). The median time from salpingectomy to IUP was 13.0 months in the patients with tubal flushing and 27.1 months in those without tubal flushing (p = 0.007). Recurrent ectopic pregnancy (REP) was documented in three (7.1%) of the patients who received tubal flushing and two (3.9%) that did not (p = 0.823). Conclusions: Tubal flushing via hysteroscopic hydrotubation after unilateral salpingectomy may improve subsequent IUP after EP but cannot prevent REP. Clinical Trial Registration: The study protocol was registered to the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry at https://www.chictr.org.cn/ (Identifier No.: ChiCTR2100052941).

Background: Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) is recognized as a significant prognostic factor in endometrial cancer. Systemic inflammation, as reflected by neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) indices, may reflect or contribute to tumor progression. Increased endometrial thickness (ET) may also promote local invasion. Our study aims to discover the relationship between these parameters. Methods: In this prospective study, we examined 161 patients with endometrial carcinoma treated at the Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Vanvitelli in Naples, Italy. The variables examined included inflammatory indices such as NLR, MLR, and PRL, as well as ultrasound-measured ET (mm). Statistical analysis was performed to compare the groups with and without LVSI and to evaluate the association between inflammatory indices, ET, and the presence of LVSI. Results: The LVSI-positive group showed statistically significantly higher average values for all analyzed parameters. Logistic regression analysis revealed an interdependence between NLR, MLR, PLR, ET, and LVSI. Multivariate logistic regression confirmed that ET is a significant predictor of LVSI. Conclusion: The results of our analysis suggest an interaction between inflammation, ET, and LVSI in endometrial cancer. Logistic regression demonstrated that ET is a significant predictor of positive LVSI, while the other inflammatory indices showed a less defined correlation.
