Authors: Alkiabi Jaafar
Published: August 2023

The Research aims to demonstrate the role of the added value of intellectual capital in improving the market value of the shareholding companies listed in the Iraq Stock Exchange, and to achieve the goal of the research, the use of descriptive statistics was relied upon through the use of the questionnaire form, as the number of distributed forms was (90) questionnaires and they were recovered and valid For analysis, it is (83) questionnaire, as it was distributed to a sample of investors in the Iraq Stock Exchange. The research concluded that the disclosure of value-added information for intellectual capital contributes to improving financial reporting, which enhances the value of the company, especially as it represents the true value of the economic unit and the main driver. For the performance of the economic units, it represents the bridge between the market value of the shares and the book value of the assets of the economic unit. The research recommended the need to pay attention to the added value of intellectual capital and its components in the economic units, because it represents the true value of the economic entity.
The Transform-Transformer Approach: Unveiling the Odd Transmuted Rayleigh-X Family of Distributions
Authors: Abdullahi J. , Gulumbe S.U. , Usman U. , Garba A. I.
Published: August 2023

The paper presents a novel class (family) of statistical distributions termed Odd Transmuted Rayleigh-X (OTR-X) that was created through a transform-transformer (T-X) approach. The CDF and PDF of the OTR-X family were derived. The available statistical literature studied earlier highlighted that almost all generalized distributions (in which one or more parameters were added) performed well and have better presentation of data than their counterparts with less number of parameters. This has motivated us to developed new family that is capable of producing new distributions. The research paper also presented a clear mathematical formula for several characteristics of the OTR-X family, such as the ordinary moments, moment generating, quantile, and reliability function. In order to find the estimate of the corresponding parameters of the OTR-X family, the technique of maximum likelihood is used in the study. A new sub-model Odd Transmuted Rayleigh Inversed Exponential Distribution (OTRIED) was generated from the OTR-X class and compared its performance to Transmuted Inversed Exponential Distribution (TIED), Exponential Inversed Exponential Distribution (EIED), and Inversed Exponential Distribution using two different datasets. The results have shown that the proposed distribution out performed its competitors when using two different real-world datasets. Furthermore, the proposed distribution can be practicalized to any skewed dataset.

Published: August 2023

Background: With the increasing rate of bacterial resistance and the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens, urinary tract infections (UTIs) are now among the most important public health problems worldwide. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the antibiotic resistance patterns of UTIs in Shahid Rahimi and Shohada-ye Ashayer hospitals of Khorramabad, Iran, in 2021. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 250 patients with UTI were included. Demographic characteristics and data related to the pathogen types and antibiogram were collected from their medical files and recorded in a researcher-made checklist. The collected data were analyzed by Stata software version 14 at a 5% significance level. Results: The study population consisted of 163 women (65.2%) with a mean age of 54.52 ± 10.12 and 87 men (34.8%) with a mean age of 51.87 ± 12.01. The most common pathogens reported were Escherichia coli (41.20%), followed by Staphylococcus saprophyticus (20.80%), and Klebsiella pneumonia (18.40%). The most frequently reported resistances were against Amoxicillin (59.2%), followed by Ampicillin (53.6%), while the least reported were Imipenem (11.6%), followed by Amikacin (17.6%). Conclusions: A high rate of resistance was observed against the commonly used antibiotics. It is crucial to prescribe antibiotics, particularly those with relatively low resistance rates (such as imipenem and amikacin), cautiously to prevent bacterial resistance against antimicrobial agents.

Published: August 2023

Myrciaria glomerata pertence a família Myrtaceae, possui frutos saborosos, apresentando potencial de uso medicinal e na recuperação de áreas, com mudas florestais e frutíferas tropicais. Assim a associação com fungos micorrízicos arbusculares (FMAs) podem aumentar a sobrevivência das mudas em áreas de expansão e favorecendo seu cultivo. Objetivou-se neste trabalho, verificar a influência dos FMAs sobre o crescimento de mudas de M. glomerata submetidas a doses de fósforo (P). O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos casualizados, em arranjo fatorial 5 x 5, sendo os fatores inoculação com os FMAs (Glomus clarum, Gigaspora margarita, Gigaspora albida e Clareoideoglomus etunicatum e o controle sem FMAs), e cinco doses de P (0, 25, 50, 100 e 200 mg kg-1), com quatro repetições. As espécies de FMAs C. etunicatum, G. clarum e G. albida favorecem o crescimento e qualidade das mudas de M. glomerata. O aumento do P no solo elevou a qualidade das mudas, sendo que a dose de 100 mg kg-1 de P, favoreceu o crescimento e desenvolvimento de mudas de M. glomerata. A dependência e eficiência micorrízica variou em função do inóculo e do uso de P, sendo necessários novos estudos para entendimento da relação dos FMAs com esta frutífera.
Determinants associated with adherence to ironfolic acid supplementation among pregnant women in kasulu communities, north-western, Tanzania
Authors:   , Benedicto Winfrida
Published: August 2023

Pregnant women are at high risk of iron and folic acid deficiency anemia. Tanzania adopted the WHO recommendation of 2012 that, all pregnant women should consume a dose of 30- 60 mg IFAS 400 μg daily for first six (6) months. Iron and Folic Acid Supplementation is the main cost-effective strategy to control anemia during pregnancy however, adherence to IFAS in Tanzania is low (21%) and more in Kigoma region (7%). Associated determinants with adherence to IFAS have not been well established and studies to assess IFAS in Kasulu district are limited. Participants were selected at the health facility through systematic random sampling. A structured questionnaire was used to collect quantitative information and binary logistic regression models were used to determine the factors associated with the adherence to IFAS with statistical significance of p-value<0.05 using SPSS software (version 22). Similarly, pregnant and women with children aged 0-6 months were purposively selected from health facilities and allocated in four focus group discussions for qualitative information. In addition, an in-depth interview (IDIs) was conducted among six health care providers who were purposefully selected from two health facilities. Thematic analysis was done for qualitative data and triangulated with quantitative findings. Adherence to IFAS was found to be 20.3%. In a binary logistic regression model, factors associated with adherence to IFAS include distance to health facilities (AOR=0.338, 95% CI:131-886), counseled on the benefits of IFAS (AOR=3.864, 95% CI: 1.422-10.500), knowledge on anemia (AOR=3.840, 95% CI: 1.335-10.685), number of IFAS given at each visit (AOR=15.718, 95% CI: 5.33546.311), Time at first ANC visit (AOR=3.724, 95% CI: 1.417-9.791), number of meals per day (AOR=3.349, 95% CI: 1.184-9.212) and number of the children (AOR=3.462, 95% CI: 1.035-12.070). From the qualitative findings, low knowledge of anemia and benefits of IFAS among women and health care providers, late first ANC, economic factors, less reminded to the uptake of IFAS, negligence and forgetfulness were the main reasons for low adherence. Overall, adherence to IFAS was low. Therefore, strengthening systems to create community awareness, health promotion, education program among health care providers and pregnant women, strengthen supply chain and reminder mechanisms is potential to improve the adherence to IFAS.

Traveling waves for unbalanced bistable equations with density dependent diffusion
Authors: Drabek Pavel , Zahradnikova Michaela
Published: August 2023

We study the existence and qualitative properties of traveling wave solutions for the unbalanced bistable reaction-diffusion equation with a rather general density dependent diffusion coefficient. In particular, it allows for singularities and/or degenerations as well as discontinuities of the first kind at a finite number of points. The reaction term vanishes at equilibria and it is a continuous, possibly non-Lipschitz function. We prove the existence of a unique speed of propagation and a unique traveling wave profile (up to translation) which is a non-smooth function in general. In the case of the power-type behavior of the diffusion and reaction near equilibria we provide detailed asymptotic analysis of the profile.

Published: August 2023

No meio publicitário é comum o uso de pautas sociais e artefatos históricos em propagandas e produtos. Dessa forma, foi realizado estudos e análises com uma abordagem crítica e experimental sobre o tema. Entende-se que na teoria da Indústria Cultural, como consequência nos meios de comunicação, atualmente a vontade de possuir de forma irresistível a Cultura, como um objeto de desejo. A reprodutibilidade técnica é a reprodução industrial e serial de cópias, causando a quebra das tradições sobre o objeto. A reprodução sequencial oprime a Aura, quanto mais industrializado mais distante da originalidade. Como levantamento das referências e denotações do que se tem visto, apropriação é um genocidio histórico, tornando "deles", assim, os criadores originais da cultura são afastados do objeto e sem a integração do pertencer.  Portanto tem-se a necessidade de conscientizar a diferenciação entre divulgar uma cultura e se apropriar dela. Deve-se buscar uma forma de educar e então elucidar a apropriação cultural dentro da publicidade

As emergentes redes sociais digitais têm transformado a disseminação de informações, potencializando o empoderamento dos sujeitos por meio das possibilidades de expressão e vindicação, mas, ao mesmo tempo, aumenta a conflitualidade e a circulação de discursos de raiva e indiferença. Analisamos, por meio de estudo de caso, o fenômeno da caça às bruxas, com foco para o caso Fabiane, “A bruxa do Guarujá”. Inferimos que este tipo de acontecimento colabora com a constituição de uma rede de violência que ganha replicabilidade nas redes sociais digitais.
Bomoko: um curta-metragem documental sobre a música como expressão cultural de um grupo de refugiados congoleses na cidade de São Paulo
Authors: Leite Coelho Aguiar Tatiana
Published: August 2023

Em um contexto de globalização, os fluxos migratórios se intensificaram e, consequentemente, as trocas culturais decorrentes deles. Tais trocas e fluxos não ocorrem necessariamente de forma pacífica e esse deslocamento forçado afeta cada vez mais indivíduos. Na última década, aproximadamente 100 milhões de pessoas precisaram abandonar seu território de origem em decorrência de perseguições políticas, religiosas, ou raciais, e precisaram reconstruir suas vidas em um novo local. Esse projeto buscou compreender como Hidras, Isaac, Muanda e Leonardo, refugiados da República Democrática do Congo, encontraram na música uma forma de expressão que os permite não só manter contato com suas culturas nativas, mas também conquistar novos espaços no local em que se restabeleceram. A partir do estudo do gênero documental, análise de revisões bibliográficas e pesquisa de documentos, Bomoko surge com o intuito de ampliar a perspectiva sobre pessoas em situação de refúgio, e contribuir para a discussão de temas de urgência social por meio de um produto audiovisual.

Este trabalho, de caráter bibliográfico, tem como objetivo refletir sobre a prática da residência artística para as artes visuais e apresentar essa experiência do artista brasileiro Christus Nóbrega na China, em 2015. O trabalho relata como, através de uma bolsa cedida pelo governo brasileiro, via Ministério das Relações Exteriores, ele desenvolveu trabalhos que remetem tanto à cultura brasileira, nordestina sobretudo, e à cultura chinesa. Após seis meses imersos nessa sociedade oriental, Christus Nóbrega retornou ao Brasil e promoveu uma exposição itinerante que deixa evidente esse diálogo. O resultado dessa experiência são as obras, aqui descritas e comentadas, sendo que ao final algumas são analisadas, com o intuito de deixar evidente a riqueza e importância de uma iniciativa como essa para o âmbito artístico. Além da Introdução e Conclusão, o trabalho apresenta em seu desenvolvimento três ítens: o primeiro refere-se à residência artística, em que se apresenta e discute-se a importância dessa atividade para a carreira de um artista e para as artes em geral; o ítem seguinte trata da residência artística de Christus Nóbrega na China; e o terceiro ítem apresenta a análise de algumas obras produzidas por ele a partir dessa vivência em terra estrangeira. Pretende-se assim deixar evidente que a residência artística de Christus Nóbrega não foi importante apenas para o artista, mas para toda sociedade, que através dessa experiência individual tem a oportunidade de conhecer outras culturas e refletir sobre questões diversificadas.

[Preprint] Nine simple ways to make it easier to (re)use your data
Authors: White Ethan
Published: August 2023

I’m a big fan of preprints, the posting of papers in public archives prior to peer review. Preprints speed up the scientific dialogue by letting everyone see research as it happens, not 6 months to 2 years later following the sometimes extensive peer review process. They also allow more extensive pre-publication peer review because input can be solicited from the entire community of scientists, not just two or three individuals.

Oligopoly structure in the cryptocurrency market
Authors: Tomić Nenad
Published: August 2023

Blockchain technology has been announced as the driving force behind the democratization of digital business. Various interest groups believed that cryptocurrencies would enable fast, cheap and anonymous payments over the Internet. The absence of a central institution and the possibility of the participation of the wider community in the maintenance of the system should have created electronic money adapted to individuals, not the financial elite. However, the question arises whether cryptocurrencies really provide equal opportunities for all participants. The subject of the paper is the degree of centralization of the most famous cryptocurrency systems in terms of wealth distribution and the possibility of participation in their maintenance. The goal of the paper is to determine the degree of inequality in various aspects of the functioning of the cryptocurrency system. The results of the analysis indicate that cryptocurrencies function separately from the traditional financial system, but do not enable the financial inclusion of marginalized social groups. No current cryptocurrency community provides equality of participants, neither in terms of mining, nor in terms of wealth distribution. It can be concluded that the mining of cryptocurrencies and their secondary circulation show clear characteristics of oligopolistic structures.
Influences of nonlinear suspension on the bus's roll stability by a lateral dynamic 4-DOF model
Authors: Nhan Tran , Pham Ngoc
Published: August 2023

The influences of nonlinear suspension system with air spring and nonlinear asymmetrical (NA) absorber in comparison with a linear suspension is analyzed based on a lateral dynamic four degrees of freedom (4-DOF) model. The lateral dynamic model considers the effects of anti-roll bars, the roll center position, and the transient excitation of the road on the roll stability performance. The characteristics of the suspension system, the position of the roll center, the road excitation load all play very important roles in determining the roll stability of the vehicle. The maximum dynamic roll angle with nonlinear suspension is always smaller than that with linear suspension. The maximum dynamic rollover stability index is strongly dependent on the velocity and about 27% on average lower than that of linear suspension in the whole velocity domain, subjected under road excitation. However, the maximum of absolute acceleration is always larger with the nonlinear suspension system.

Firm Dynamics and Random Search over the Business Cycle
Authors: Audoly Richard
Published: August 2023

I build a tractable random search model with firm dynamics, on-the-job search, and aggregate shocks. Multi-worker firms make recruitment decisions, choose whether to enter or exit the market, and design wage contracts. Tractability is obtained by showing that, under a set of assumptions on the recruitment technology, the decisions of workers and firms can be expressed in terms of the firms’ current productivity. I introduce a numerical solution method to accommodate aggregate shocks in this environment and show that the model can replicate salient features of both firm-level data on productivity and employment and aggregate time series describing the business cycle. I use this framework to quantify the drivers of worker reallocation over the recent business cycle in Britain.

Published: August 2023

Previous research suggested an association between air pollution and shortened telomere length (TL), a biomarker of oxidative stress and inflammation. However, supporting results are challenged by the small sample size and heterogeneity in participant characteristics. To comprehensively evaluate the association of long-term exposure to air pollution with telomere length, we studied 471,808 participants from UK Biobank with measurements on leukocyte telomere length (LTL). Air pollution data on PM2.5, PM10, NO2, NOx, SO2, and CO before baseline at 1 km spatial resolution were collected and linked to each participant’s residential address. We applied mixed-effects linear regression models to examine the association between long-term air pollution exposure and LTL. Compared to the lowest quartile (Q1) of air pollutants, the estimated percentage changes of age-corrected LTL were -2.71% [95% confidence interval (CI): -3.78, -1.63] for SO2, -0.82% (95% CI: -1.87, 0.23) for NO2, -1.17% (95% CI: -2.23, -0.11) for NOx, and -0.47% (95% CI: -1.45, 0.53) for CO in the highest quartile groups (Q4). Decreasing trends in age-corrected LTL following the increase in PM2.5 and PM10 leveled off during high levels of air pollutants. Among participants with lower household income, lower educational attainment, and higher BMI, a stronger association was found between air pollution and LTL. Our findings suggest a negative association between air pollution and LTL and provide insights into the potential pathways linking air pollution to age-related diseases.
A new perspective in the research of antibody drug conjugate
Authors: Li Qiao , Jiang Mingxia , Xu Binghe
Published: August 2023

Antibody drug conjugate (ADC) combines the high specificity of monoclonal antibodies and the high activity of small molecule cytotoxic drugs through linkers to improve the targeting of tumor drugs and reduce the toxic side effects. Due to the advantages of clear targets, mature technology, and good selectivity, ADCs have shown excellent application prospects in hematological and solid tumor therapeutic fields. In this perspective, the selection of ADC-targeting antigens is described in the group of driver gene target antigens and non-driver gene target antigens to make more evident the importance of targeting antigens in advancing ADCs for tumor therapy. In the future, continued research and innovation in this field will help provide more effective, targeted, and personalized treatments for cancer patients, ultimately improving patients’ outcomes and quality of life.
Niske stope rađanja i rodne uloge : teorijski okvir i praktični izazovi
Authors: Šobot Ankica
Published: August 2023

Cilj ove monografije jeste da se na primeru evropskih država što argumentovanije razmotri veza između niskog fertiliteta i rodne ne/ravnopravnosti. Nedovoljno rađanje je višedimenzionalan fenomen, a njegova deterministička osnova je složena. U relevantnoj literaturi podvlače se pozitivni efekti rodne ravnopravnosti na reproduktivno ponašanje. Ta veza je složena. Otuda namera da se pozabavimo naučnom građom i statističkim podacima, na osnovu kojih ćemo doneti konstatacije o uticaju rodnih režima na nivo rađanja u evropskim državama. Demografski ugao znači fokus na razumevanje uslovljenosti niskih stopa rađanja. U ovom slučaju razmatramo rodne uloge kao relevantne faktore i rodnu ne/ravnopravnost kao relevantan okvir reproduktivnog ponašanja u savremenom društvu. Razmatranje ima i aplikativnu vrednost. Ukazuje se na pozitivne i negativne implikacije. Kritički odnos prema negativnim pojavama koje se tiču veze između rodnih uloga i fertiliteta vodi ka afirmaciji stava da je rodna ravnopravnost okvir unutar kojeg treba pronalaziti adekvatna rešenja i definisati političke odgovore, koji će rezultirati pozitivnim efektima sa stanovišta fertiliteta. U centru takvih reagovanja jesu pojedinac, porodica i kvalitet uslova života. Rodni odnos predstavlja bitan segment celovitog odgovora na nizak fertilitet.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in firefighter turnout gear textiles exposed to abrasion, elevated temperature, laundering, or weathering

Textiles used in the construction of structural firefighter turnout gear jackets and pants have been found to contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as well as fluoropolymer membranes and treatments containing fluorinated polymers. Additionally, older and used turnout gear have been found to contain greater concentrations of PFAS compared with new gear, though the source of these elevated PFAS concentrations is still under investigation. To determine if the stressing turnout gear textiles encounter during typical use could contribute to the observation of higher PFAS concentrations, this Technical Note reports the concentrations of 51 PFAS in 20 firefighter turnout gear textiles following exposure to abrasion, elevated temperatures, laundering, or weathering by exposure to ultraviolet radiation and elevated humidity. Compared with corresponding concentrations in unstressed textiles, individual and summed PFAS concentrations were higher following exposure to abrasion, elevated temperature, and weathering, but were similar or slightly lower following laundering. For example, the median summed PFAS concentrations among durable water repellent treated outer shell textiles rose from 1,430 µg/kg when new to 3,500 µg/kg with abrasion, 4,420 µg/kg with exposure to elevated temperatures, and 3,540 µg/kg with weathering, while it fell to 963 µg/kg with laundering. These changes in summed PFAS concentrations with stressing largely reflected changes in the concentrations of PFAS that were present in the highest concentration in unstressed turnout gear textiles: 6:2 FTMAC and 6:2 FTOH. Consequently, while physical stressing may contribute to altered PFAS concentrations in stressed compared with unstressed turnout gear textiles, the mechanisms responsible for these changes cannot be authoritatively identified by the targeted analytical approach employed here. For example, the analytical approached used in this report cannot distinguish between PFAS production by the chemical transformation of PFAS that were excluded from the targeted analyte list from enhanced PFAS extraction due to degradation of firefighter gear textiles and their associated fluorinated polymer treatments.
Menciptakan Akhlak Mulia melalui Taman Pendidikan Al-Quran di Desa Ciberes
Authors: M. Ibnu Muzakir
Published: August 2023

AbstractWith the decline in morals towards children today, it is necessary to get gentle educational touches from both parents, without using physical or psychological violence in order to create future generations of Muslims who have noble morals. "As an effort to create an Islamic young generation, we must start from understanding the true Islamic Aqeedah. The beginning of strengthening this aqidah is by animating and applying the shahada sentence, namely I testify that there is no God who must be worshiped but Allah and the Prophet Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. The logical consequence of this shahada sentence is to apply Islamic teachings in our daily lives. Because this creed sentence will also be held accountable later in the hereafter. Therefore, in order to create an Islamic generation and motivate the importance of education for the children of Darunnajah University Jakarta students, the KKN carries out activities such as teaching the Koran, how to pray, doing ablutions and other activities.

Amalgam is the cheapest and the most widely used intra-coronal posterior restorative material in the world.Therefore, the teaching, learning and practice of conservative amalgam cavity preparations cannot be ignored by any dental school. Since the introduction of the principles and methods of cavity preparation by G.V Black in 1908, there have been a series of modifications in terms of designs and the underlining principles.The “extension for prevention” dogma by G.V Black had been jettisoned while the modern concept of conservatism or minimal cavity preparation has been well embraced by dental practitioners. However, there are some limitations in clinical teaching of conservative amalgam cavity preparation which include late patient presentation with large carious lesions, lack of appropriate conservative instruments and restorative materials. This article discusses limitations in teaching, learning and practice of conservative amalgam cavity preparation in the developing countries.

Published: August 2023

Plasma cell neoplasms (multiple myeloma, solitary plasmocytoma of bone and extra medullar plasmocytoma) are characterized by a monoclonal neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells. Multiple myeloma is a monoclonal malignant proliferation of plasma cells that causes osteolytic lesions in the vertebrae, ribs, pelvic bone, skull and jaw. We report a case of a 69-year-old male patient who presented with a tumefaction in the body of mandible, which had evolved over the previous two months. In the radiographic examination, an extensive osteolytic lesion was observed in the body of mandible. An incisional biopsy was performed and histopathological study revealed a malignant hematopoietic neoplasm formed by plasmacytoid cells. Knowledge about the maxillofacial manifestations of multiple myeloma is important for the early diagnosis of the disease, since its primary form can manifest itself in the jaw.
