Portfolio risk-management effectiveness improvement: comparative study of different approaches
Authors: Никулин М.В.
Published: September 2024

В статье предлагается концепция эффективного управления портфельными рисками и распределения капитала. Понимая риски, связанные с каждым активом, можно минимизировать общий риск портфеля, систематически диверсифицируя распределение капитала. Для достижения этой цели предлагается сочетать оценку стоимости-под-риском (VaR) с другими статистическими показателями, такими как процентильное ранжирование и эмпирическая закономерность. Такая комбинация может значительно снизить потенциальные потери по портфелю по сравнению с портфелем, в котором активы распределены равномерно. Результаты основаны на анализе цен активов с использованием трех различных методов: исторического (непараметрического), дисперсионно-ковариационного (параметрического) и метода Монте-Карло.

The article proposes the concept of effective portfolio risk management and capital allocation. By understanding the risks associated with each asset, it is possible to minimize the overall risk of the portfolio by systematically diversifying the allocation of capital. To achieve this goal, it is proposed to combine the value-at-risk (VaR) assessment with other statistical indicators such as percentile ranking and empirical rule. This combination can significantly reduce potential portfolio losses compared to a portfolio in which assets are evenly distributed. The results are based on the analysis of asset prices using three different methods: historical (nonparametric), variance-covariance (parametric) and the Monte Carlo method.

Multifactor assessment of food security in the region
Authors: Патлань Е.С. , Соколинская Ю.М.
Published: September 2024

В статье дана многофакторная оценка продовольственной безопасности региона. Доктриной продовольственной безопасности от 2020 года определены целевые показатели обеспечения населения страны основными видами продовольствия. Также в доктрине отражена необходимость обеспечения экономической доступности продовольствия. Однако оценка продовольственной безопасности региона не сводится только к данным показателям. Немаловажным является сбалансированность питания, качество и безопасность продовольствия, а также устойчивость продовольственной системы. Последние три фактора приобретают особую актуальность в связи с усилением санкционного давления на нашу страну.

The 2020 Food Security Doctrine defines target indicators for providing the country’s population with basic types of food. The doctrine also reflects the need to ensure the economic availability of food. However, the assessment of food security in the region is not limited to these indicators. Equally important is the balance of nutrition, quality and safety of food, as well as the sustainability of the food system. The last three factors are becoming especially relevant in connection with the increasing sanctions pressure on our country.
Health System Structural Factors Associated with Use of Scorecard to Improve RMNCAH Performance Indicators in Public Primary Health Facilities in Kenya
Authors: Mboro Gilbert N , Ouma Ogol Japheth , Otieno George Ochieng , Rucha Kenneth Kibaara
Published: September 2024

Purpose: Researchers looked into how the structure of the health system affects the use of scorecards to boost reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) in Kenya's Kwale and Kilifi Counties' public primary health facilities. Specifically, this includes use of the RMNCAH indicators, trainings received on RMNCAH indicators, and factors associated with the utilization of the RMNCAH indicators.
Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to gather quantitative data from 119 primary healthcare workers in chosen public primary facilities via one-on-one interviews. We collected data using tablets and the Kobo Collect app.
Findings: The findings revealed that 89% of the selected facilities analyzed RMNCAH variables, whereas only 13% used scorecards at the time of the study. The study found that 75% of the facilities that used scorecards did not indicate the specific type of scorecard they received training on. Further research revealed a relationship between scorecard type and utilization (p<0.001, χ2= 2.365), with 84% of facilities analyzing RMNCAH indicators on a monthly basis, focusing on immunization and family planning. However, 63% of healthcare workers rated the health system's structures as either low or poor. Only 11% of facilities had monitoring and evaluation budgets, yet 78% had RMNCAH indicator targets. While most public primary facilities analyze RMNCAH indicators, only a small percentage of these facilities use scorecards due to barriers such as limited training on different types of scorecards, a lack of monitoring and evaluation budget commitments, and poor structural components of the health system
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: While facilities appreciate the availability of RMNCAH indicators, still the main focus is on immunization and family planning, hence the need for a more comprehensive monitoring of all RMNCAH indicators.

Published: September 2024

Research on how students’ personal factors affect 14-August-2024 20-August-2024academic achievement has mostly focused on family background, gender, and attitude, with less emphasis on goal setting. Academic performance in mixed day public secondary schools has been poor in Belgut Sub-County and other part of Kenya. Whereas efforts have been made by the government and stakeholders in the education sector to address disparities in achievement, most mixed day public secondary schools continue to perform below boarding schools. The purpose of this study was to examine goal setting on students’ academic achievement in mixed day public secondary schools in Belgut Sub-County. The study was anchored on social cognitive theory. The study used quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and adopt a concurrent triangulation research design to establish predictive relationships among the variables. The study population were all students in mixed day public secondary schools in Belgut Sub-County. The target population were the 2213 form III students and 56 class teachers (in charge of Form III class) from which a sample of 306 students and 17 teachers were obtained using simple random sampling technique. Semi-Structured questionnaires were adopted for students. The interview guide for teachers were in semi-structure form to mainly collect qualitative data. Both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyse the data. Specifically, regression analysis was used to test the relationship between independent variables and dependent variable. The results revealed that students were often able to set goals as well as develop daily and weekly schedules. Therefore, goal setting had positive statistical significant influence on academic achievement of students (β1=0.990, P=0.000<0.05).

Authors: Abdul Halim Fauziah Saadah , Buhari Turisiana Ahmad , Rahmat Dr Noor Hanim , Seau Dr Lee Sze
Published: September 2024

The increasing accessibility and flexibility of online distance learning have transformed the educational domain. Despite positive changes, the effectiveness of online learning still hinges on student interaction and engagement. The study explored engagement strategies for students in online distance learning. Participants completed a 19-item Likert-scale survey based on Moore’s (1993) three types of interaction: learner-to-learner, learner-to-instructor, and learner-to-content. The survey, adapted from Martin and Bolliger’s (2018) framework, addressed effective strategies for enhancing these interactions and identified the most and least valuable engagement strategies. Survey results showed that students generally prefer peer support to motivate task completion, a teaching style that encourages active participation, and user-friendly content. Students highly value active participation, multiple communication tools for staying connected, instructor encouragement, ongoing interactions after classes, peer support, and content accessibility. Nevertheless, they place less importance on immediate assistance from asynchronous activities, online activities that enhance critical thinking, seeking help from peers, collaborative learning for understanding, and synchronous activities offering immediate assistance. The findings can add to the body of knowledge and improve online distance education by further researching strategies and impacts on different types of learners, learning styles, and diverse cultural backgrounds to foster equality and inclusion in online education.

Measuring Efficiency Performance in Economic Productivity Function: Parametric and Non-Parametric Frontier Approach
Authors: Arsad Roslah
Published: September 2024

The parametric and non-parametric frontier approach is the famous frontier measurement efficiency in economic productivity. Many researches on economics-based has focused on efficiency. Basically, efficiency comprises two important components. First is technical efficiency and second is allocative efficiency. Combination of technical and allocative efficiency called as economic efficiency. In order to measure both components of efficiency, parametric and non-parametric approaches have been utilized to either estimate or calculate the efficiency frontier. Many studies have adopted non-parametric, deterministic approach such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) that impose no functional form on the cost or production function, but parametric estimation of cost, production, or profit functions are more relevant approach in the economics-based literature. Stochastic Frontier Approach (SFA) is the most popular among parametric model approach. Deterministic frontier functions can be solved using either mathematical programming or econometric techniques, while stochastic specifications are estimated solely through econometric methods. This study’s main contribution is a review of efficiency concepts, measurement methods, and the strengths, limitations, and data requirements of parametric and non-parametric models.
The Modern Work Dilemma: Balancing Job Satisfaction with Financial Necessity
Authors: Wanyama Robert
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the intricate relationships between financial stress, work-life balance, job satisfaction, and employee engagement, aiming to develop strategies to enhance employee well-being. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combined quantitative and qualitative data to provide a comprehensive analysis. A structured questionnaire was distributed to 100 employees in Nairobi City, Kenya, using validated scales to measure financial stress, work-life balance, job satisfaction, and employee engagement. The quantitative analysis revealed that financial stress has a significant negative impact on job satisfaction (β = -0.45, p < 0.001) and employee engagement (β = -0.30, p = 0.003). Work-life balance was identified as a crucial mediator between financial stress and job satisfaction, reducing the direct negative effects of financial stress (β = 0.50, p < 0.001). Additionally, job satisfaction was positively associated with employee engagement (β = 0.60, p < 0.001). Qualitative interviews supported these findings, with employees noting that effective work-life balance and support from the organization significantly enhance their engagement and job satisfaction. Based on these findings, the study proposes several recommendations for organizations, including the implementation of financial wellness programs, the enhancement of work-life balance policies, and the development of robust recognition and career development initiatives. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of these strategies are also recommended to ensure their effectiveness and relevance. The study’s findings align with recent literature and provide a framework for developing effective interventions to support a more engaged and satisfied workforce.

Authors: Mironova Daria Y. , Pashkova Evgeniya A. , Budrin Alexander G. , Baranov Igor V. , Varadarajan Vijayakumar , Afrifa Stephen
Published: September 2024

In the context of global changes and the transition to a Green Economy, there has been a lack of emphasis in scientific literature to the management of project innovation activities at universities, particularly in collaboration with business and the government. This gap continues despite international experiences that indicate the benefits of industrial symbiosis for regional economic growth, including socioeconomic and environmental issues. The study focuses on the underexplored management of university project innovation activities in collaboration with businesses and the state as the world shifts toward a Green Economy, highlighting the successful use of industrial symbiosis in other countries to boost regional socioeconomic and environmental development. Current engagement channels are insufficient to facilitate the integration of academic ideas into industry throughout the transition to a circular economy. This study intends to establish novel management mechanisms for university innovation activities based on industry symbiosis, as well as optimum collaboration ways for project initiation and implementation. The authors offer successful implementation techniques, such as project formation and realization through partnership with corporations and government bodies, as well as the involvement of bright youngsters. By developing zones of industrial symbiosis and other cooperative ventures, the research hopes to position universities as crucial to building symbiotic chains, eventually boosting university innovation infrastructure efficiency and fostering sustainable regional development.

Topological Analysis of Image Reconstruction Based on Polar Complex Exponential Transform
Authors: Singh Manoj Kumar , Saini Deepika , Kumar Sanoj
Published: September 2024

Image moments are an important tool used for image reconstruction. An image can be represented in terms of image moments, which is known as image reconstruction from its moments. To construct an image from the moments, a question often arises that how many moments are required for the reconstruction of image. Theoretically, many image moments may be required for accurately reconstructing an image. However, since image moment construction can be computationally challenging, often in practice only a finite number of moments are used for the image reconstruction. The difference in reconstructed and original image for many numbers of images can lead to a satisfying answer. However, accurate reconstruction may not often be possible, and we are often relying on other approaches to find similarity between the original image and reconstructed image. We used a similarity based on a topological data analysis tool known as the persistence diagram, determining the bottleneck distance between the original and the reconstructed image as the measure of similarity. Our investigation was conducted on the common images utilized in image processing tasks. The findings indicate that there is no direct correlation between the number of moments and the quality of image reconstruction. It is necessary to choose an appropriate number of moments, which may be very small, instead of calculating a high number of image moments.

FCVM(i): Integrated FCNP-VWA-MCDM(i) Methods for On-Demand Charging Scheduling in WRSNs
Authors: Rim Ju Song , Ri Man Gun , Pak Se Hun , Kim U Song
Published: September 2024

On-demand charging schemes have been recently proposed to make efficient charging schedules of mobile chargers by introducing MCDM methods in wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs). However, most of the existing schemes use analytic hierarchy process (AHP) or fuzzy AHP (FAHP) of paired ratio scale (PRS) to exaggerate the actual paired difference between multi-criteria, thereby very likely producing misapplications such as inappropriately ranking the charging locations or inaccurately drawing the partial charging time in charging scheduling (CS) of WRSNs. In addition, in case of using FCNP of paired interval scale (PIS) for weight assignment of multi-criteria, weight compensation has not been considered. In particular, it is still unknown which is the best method for integrating FCNP with several MCDM approaches. This paper proposed novel CS methods by integrated FCNP-VWA-MCDM(i) called FCVM(i) which solves all of these problems. The proposed methods first assign the weights to multiple criteria discriminating charging request nodes (cRNs) using FCNP and make compensation of them to be relatively exact weights with VWA. Then, on the basis of these weights, MCDM(i) is used to elect the best proper next charging position. In this way, drawing up the recharging schedule, at the selected charging locations, we decide the reasonable partial charging time using the assigned weights with FCNP-VWA. Extended experiment results prove that the FCVM(1) using TOPSIS gives the best performance among FCVM(i) methods.

Coordenação pedagógica e gestão democrática: uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Colombini Flávia Pinheiro da Silva , Rivas Noeli Prestes Padilha
Published: September 2024

O presente estudo tem como objetivo revisar a literatura sobre o papel do coordenador pedagógico no desempenho de sua função como articulador da gestão democrática, em disputa com as influências da gestão burocrática e gerencial nas práticas cotidianas da gestão escolar  em escolas públicas de educação básica no Brasil. Para tal, realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica em sites de repositórios de artigos científicos e banco de teses e dissertações (Periódicos CAPES e Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES), das produções científicas publicadas entre 2017 e 2021. O referencial teórico tem por pauta as concepções sobre o campo da coordenação pedagógica de Placco, Souza e Almeida (2012); Libâneo (2001); Pinto (2014); Domingues (2015) e Fernandes (2012), assim como pelas concepções de gestão democrática, segundo Cury (2007); Paro (2010; 2020); Gadotti (2014); Garcia (2018); Garcia e Adrião (2015); Hypolito (1991), entre outros. Realizada a revisão de literatura em conformidade com Cardoso, Alarcão e Celorico (2010), foram encontrados quatro artigos e quatro trabalhos acadêmicos (dissertações) referentes ao tema. Os dados foram analisados por meio da Análise Temática de Braun e Clarke (2016), descritos por temas em comum e discutidos com base nos referenciais escolhidos. Concluímos que os processos de gestão democrática, referentes ao trabalho dos coordenadores pedagógicos, estão sendo implantados a passos lentos. Diante de um cenário de atuação complexo, incluindo as inúmeras tarefas que lhe são atribuídas, frequentemente o coordenador pedagógico encontra muitos desafios em sua função mediadora e democrática.
A construção da identidade do(a) professor(a) negro(a)
Authors: Silva Carlos Alberto Silva da , Santos Silva Jeane Vanessa
Published: September 2024

O sujeito professor(a) é quem delimita e agencia os conteúdos de ensino e aprendizagem em sala de aula – num espaço que se configura pela diversidade. Orienta sua prática docente a partir de diversos discursos, que vão da formação inicial e continuada, passando por livros didáticos aos documentos oficiais de ensino e ainda pelas políticas públicas de educação. A (des)construção da identidade deste(a) profissional se constitui de vozes das mais diversas esferas de produção, dentre elas o Estado com o discurso das diretrizes normativas, como a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC –2018) e as propostas curriculares estaduais e municipais, que se desdobram no Projeto Político Pedagógico das escolas e nos planos de ensino. A efetivação da lei 10.639/03 e posteriormente a 11.645/08, e a consequente temática relacionada à identidade negra, preconceito racial e às questões relativas à ancestralidade do povo brasileiro, têm gerado tensões e conflitos no interior da escola, fora dela, e ainda na identidade deste sujeito. A nossa proposta, neste artigo, é fazer uma reflexão sobre a (des)construção da identidade deste(a) profissional no seu processo de ensino-aprendizagem a partir da inclusão da educação das relações étnico-raciais e antirracista, tendo como ponto de partida Santa Catarina – um estado com um histórico (assim como no resto do País) de racismo estrutural e institucional. Além desta reflexão, vamos apontar possibilidades para uma práxis na educação das relações ético-raciais e antirracista a partir da Pedagogia da Ancestralidade.
A didática desenvolvimental na formação inicial docente: por uma ética do encontro
Authors: Diogo Maria Fernanda , Christ Charles Augusto
Published: September 2024

Este artigo objetivou reconhecer se o ensino nas licenciaturas de uma universidade federal logrou contribuições à constituição da práxis docente. Para alcançá-lo, apresentamos os sentidos produzidos por licenciandos/as acerca de sua formação inicial. Baseamo-nos na estrutura conceitual da psicologia histórico-cultural e empregamos núcleos de significação para analisar 16 entrevistas individuais com licenciandos/as dos cursos presenciais dessa instituição. As análises utilizaram as unidades da obutchénie como escopo analítico, conceito que une ensino, aprendizagem e desenvolvimento. Os sentidos atribuídos pelos/as licenciandos/as revelaram a interdependência entre teoria e prática no contexto da docência, ressaltaram a importância de transcender os fundamentos teórico-metodológicos das ciências e de aprender a planejar movimentos didáticos que efetivem a práxis. O enquadramento presencial das aulas e a mediação de professores/as formadores/as de qualidade facilitaram que os/as licenciandos/as refletissem sobre a práxis docente. Os encontros e a dinâmica didático-pedagógica das aulas potencializaram a unidade entre ensino e aprendizagem e propiciaram o desenvolvimento de docentes e discentes por meio de um processo dialético analisado a partir do conceito de obutchénie. Uma educação emancipatória e omnilateral se nutre no/do encontro, enfrentando o desafio ético-político de construir um projeto de educação que se oriente para além do capital.
Geospatial Assessment of Potential Areas for Arthropod-Vectors of Rift Valley Fever Virus (RVFV) Across Nigeria Using Modis-Ndvi Dataset
Authors: Abdullahi Yelwa Sadiq , Onoruoiza Ganiyu Salawu , Umar Abubakar
Published: September 2024

Rift Valley Fever Virus (RVFV) is an arthropod-borne viral disease that affects both domestic animals as well as human beings. The outbreaks of such disease especially in Africa are reported to be closely related to areas of above or below normal rainfall that is associated with the warm phase of El-Niňo Southern Oscillations (ENSO) phenomenon. This ENSO event is as a result of abnormal change in sea surface temperature that affects global precipitation and in other areas, vegetation biomass. For a sustainable healthy environment and healthy livestock production in Nigeria under the present economic circumstances, this study therefore, suggests a cost-effective technique for mapping out spatial patterns of likely RVFV and other vector-borne disease habitats across Nigeria. Remote Sensing and GIS can be a cost-effective component of disease control campaign for mapping out potential areas at risk of such diseases. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique was used where Standardised Principal Components images and their corresponding loading scores were derived from Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (MODIS-NDVI) dataset acquired from USGS-EROS Data Center for the ENSO event of September 2014 to December 2015 covering Nigeria and parts of surrounding countries. The results on the first principal component image showed a characteristic vegetation biomass pattern across Nigeria over the entire time-series. The second component shows a cyclic trend related to climatic variations and vegetation across the country. A threshold in the PCA was used to isolate and produce a potential risk areas map primarily considered to have potential of RVFV and other arthropod-borne disease across the country. For sustainable ecological environment and healthy livestock production in Nigeria the results derived from this study would provide public health authorities like epidemiological departments and other stakeholders with a working document for animal disease reporting system which would also cut down operational costs.
La lecture subjective comparée en contexte universitaire : témoignage d’une expérience
Authors: Corsi Margarida da Silveira , Hwang Álvaro David
Published: September 2024

Ce travail, lié au projet de recherche Littérature et d’autres langages – relectures comparées et enseignement de la littérature, présente des résultats d’une recherche menée par des enseignants de langue et de littérature françaises du cours de Lettres portugais/français dans une université brésilienne, à partir d’une proposition de lecture littéraire subjective et comparée. Cette proposition se fonde sur des lectures de Rouxel (2018), Langlade (2007), Lemarchand Thieurmel (2014) et Bakhtine (1992,1997), entre autres. Les résultats obtenus à travers l'évaluation de carnets du lecteur démontrent, entre autres résultats, que l’utilisation de ces carnets, au cours du processus de lecture, contribue à la prise de conscience, chez le lecteur, de l'aspect littéraire subjectif.

Background: Unlike the Mycoplasma IST2 kit (bioMérieux), the Mycoplasma IST3 kit has been updated to comply with the standardized antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) method for Ureaplasma spp. (Up) and Mycoplasma hominis (Mh). We aimed to verify the use of the Mycoplasma IST3 kit for genital mycoplasma cultures. Methods: From September 2023 to January 2024, the R1 medium remaining after inoculation with IST2 was refrigerated until the next day. For IST2-positive samples, 300 μL of residual R1 medium was inoculated into the IST3. Species identification, enumeration, and AST results obtained using IST3 were compared with those obtained using IST2. Results: A total of 48 IST2-positive samples were inoculated into IST3, including 35, 1, and 12 Up-only, Mh-only, and both Up- and Mh-positive samples, respectively. Among Up-only samples, 2.8%, 91.4%, and 100.0% were susceptible to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, and erythromycin, respectively. With IST3, 45 (93.8%) samples grew genital mycoplasmas; 42 (89.4%) of the 47 Up-positive samples and 6 (46.2%) of the 13 Mh-positive samples showed growth of the same organisms. All seven samples that failed to grow Mh were from mixed cultures, of which four Mh concentrations of < 104/mL. Up was susceptible to levofloxacin, tetracycline, and erythromycin at the rates of 64.3 %, 88.1 %, and 95.2 %, respectively. Conclusion: IST3 showed good performance in detecting genital Mycoplasma except for its tendency to not detect Mh of low concentrations in mixed cultures. IST3 is preferable to IST2 because it can accurately screen for erythromycin resistance in Up and reduce falseresistances for fluoroquinolone.
