An empirical analysis of the characteristics and motivations of listed companies raising capital through private placements
Authors: POINCELOT EVELYNE , BURKHARDTBOURGEOIS KIRSTEN
Published: October 2024

Although private placements have been possible in France since January 22, 2009, they have attracted no academic attention. In line with recent literature on private placements elsewhere, we investigate the scope of the phenomenon in France together with the characteristics of firms engaging in them. The results show that private placements outnumber more traditional public fundraising methods, justifying our interest in them. First, we conduct an event study that reports no evidence of apositive abnormal return. Second, we conduct logistic regressions to determine in what instances firms seek private placements. The results reveal that firms open to private placements are characterized by high information asymmetry. Financial difficulties or the search for specific stock market reactions do not justify their use.

Published: October 2024

To form critical citizens, integrating critical thinking into the school curriculum is a must. Critical thinking is considered a vital skill that can help students tackle problems effectively, improve academic achievement and develop rational thinking. However, there is no agreement among teachers on the definition of this concept or the best way to train students to apply it, especially at the basic education level.  Therefore, through a qualitative research approach, this study aims to uncover the views of junior secondary school teachers in the PISA 2022 Main Survey in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, regarding the concept of critical thinking and Mathematical Literacy. Six teachers working in the three schools that were the subject of this survey were interviewed using a semi-structured interview method. Through thematic analysis, this study sought to identify, analyze and report the main findings from the interviews.  The results showed that the teachers recognized the importance of reasoning mapping, group discussions and active learning as practices that promote critical thinking and mathematical literacy among students. Although they had previously been exposed to these concepts through project-based learning and 'Philosophy for Kids', they indicated the need for further support through peer learning and the implementation of the 'Philosophy for Kids'.

Biologically active compound 5-nitro-4,6-dichlorobenzofuroxane (5NDCBFO) has a pronounced acaricidal, fungicidal activity and is a part of veterinary preparations used in the treatment of fungal skin diseases of animals and demodecosis caused by scabies mites of Psoroptes cuniculi species. In this connection, the determination of 5NDCBFO content is relevant. To improve the analytical performance, the determination of the analyte was carried out in a micellar system of N-decylpyridinium chloride (DPC) + dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) + water. Optimum conditions for spectrophotometric analysis were obtained by applying response surface methodology and Box-Benken plans. The Box-Behnken design was used to obtain the systems with the highest light absorption of 5NDCBFO. The independent factors chosen for the experiment planning were the concentration of DPX (X1), pH of the medium (X2) and the volume fraction of DMSO in the binary solvent (DMSO) (X3), the intensity of the absorption band A382 served as the target function. The optimal matrix of the system DPC + DMSO + water we found has the composition X1 = 0.94; X2 = 1; X3 = 1, or in decoded values C (DPC) = 0.087 mol/L; pH = 7.6; DMSO = 0.2. The calibration graph under optimum conditions is as follows: Y = A382= 0.046 + 8760 C (5NDCBFO) mol/L, R2 = 0.999, l = 1 cm, t = 25 C. The influence of sample components on the results of analytical determinations was studied and it was found that the spectrophotometric determination of the analyte was not hindered by their presence within wide limits. The correctness of the analytical determinations was established by the results of applying the technique to the analysis of a model mixture including a known amount of the determined substances. The consistency of the analyte contents found in relation to the quantities introduced was shown. The use of response surface methodology for the determination of 5-nitro-4,6-dichlorobenzofuroxane in biologically active preparations allowed to develop a selective and accurate technique using micellar media and spectrophotometric method of analysis.
AI-Augmented Fault Detection and Diagnosis in VLSI Circuits: A Step toward Intelligent Chip Design
Authors: Ojha Ayush Kumar
Published: October 2024

Fault detection and diagnosis are critical challenges in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuits, where even minor defects can cause significant performance degradation or system failure. Traditional fault detection methods often struggle with scalability and real-time analysis as circuits grow increasingly complex. This paper proposes an AI-augmented framework that leverages machine learning algorithms and neural networks to enhance the fault detection process in VLSI circuits. The proposed model not only identifies and classifies faults with high accuracy but also provides root-cause diagnostics, significantly reducing testing time and maintenance costs. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the AI-based approach in comparison with conventional techniques, showcasing improved fault coverage, faster detection, and scalability for modern chip designs. This study serves as a step toward the integration of intelligent diagnostics into chip manufacturing, paving the way for more robust and self-healing electronic systems.
Marriage with the Intention of Divorce in Islamic Jurisprudence
Authors: Akhgar Nisar Ahmad
Published: October 2024

In Islamic law, each lawful or unlawful action is guided by underlying wisdoms and philosophies that may not be readily apparent to all. Upon deeper contemplation and analysis, the rationale behind the lawfulness or unlawfulness of actions reveals significant insights and benefits. This article addresses marriage with the intention of divorce, defined as a legitimate marriage wherein the husband, unbeknownst to the wife, intends to divorce her after a predetermined period. From the perspective of the objectives (Maqasid) of marriage, its prohibition is justified due to the lack of valid benefits within the union. However, when studied through the lens of its causes, reasons, pillars, and conditions, such a marriage, despite the husband's concealed intention for its temporary nature, meets all essential requirements without any deficiencies. This is why Islamic jurists are divided into two groups on this issue:
One group, emphasizing the apparent conditions and pillars, considers it permissible, while the other, highlighting the absence of legitimate benefits, deems it prohibited. The author's preferred opinion is that it is permissible and, in cases of necessity, may be utilized. Nevertheless, the general recommendation is to discourage this practice and advise individuals to seek continuity and permanence in marriage, barring circumstances where continuation is impossible according to Islamic legal principles.

Authors: Arsalan Zahra , Musammem Yama
Published: October 2024

In recent decades, with the increasing expansion of communication technology, the use of social networks has become one of the most important online activities. However, technology has not only had positive effects on human relationships and personal communication, but its negative effects on academic performance are also well-known. This research focuses on evaluating the negative effects of social networks on academic performance, with a focus on students of Faryab University. This research is applied in terms of classification based on the objective, and can be considered a descriptive-correlational research in terms of methodological classification. The total sample size includes all day students, which is 3000, and a sample of 268 individuals has been selected based on Morgan's table. The questionnaire is used as a data collection tool, and the SPSS software is used for descriptive and inferential statistics (relationship and correlation) for data analysis. The findings of the research indicate a pervasive negative relationship between the use of social networks and academic performance among Faryab University students. While positive interactions such as parental support and strategic personal and peer interactions can increase academic results, potential drawbacks such as distraction, stress, and addiction require a comprehensive approach to deal with the challenges arising from social media.

Authors: Ameri Mohammad Kazim , Mohammadi Abeda
Published: October 2024

This study examines the impact of online social networks (OSN) and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on collaborative practices among vocational training educators, focusing on the mediating role of interpersonal trust. Using a quantitative research design, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analyzed data from 343 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) teachers via a survey assessing MOOC usage, OSN, teacher collaboration, and interpersonal trust.
Findings indicate a significant positive relationship between OSN and MOOCs, suggesting their potential to enhance collaborative learning environments. However, a negative direct effect of OSN on teacher collaboration reveals challenges that hinder effective engagement. Importantly, interpersonal trust is identified as a crucial mediator, highlighting the necessity of fostering trust among educators to improve collaboration and knowledge sharing.
The research addresses a gap in understanding how MOOCs can enhance collaboration among TVET teachers and improve student outcomes, emphasizing the importance of integrating OSNs and MOOCs into vocational training frameworks while cultivating a culture of trust. Ultimately, the study suggests that leveraging OSNs and MOOCs, alongside interpersonal trust, can transform collaborative practices, benefiting both educators and students. Future research should explore the complexities of these relationships, especially barriers to collaboration and effective strategies for utilizing online networks in vocational training.

Authors: Maranhão Romero de Albuquerque , Stori Norberto
Published: October 2024

A paisagem é objeto de interesse de vários campos do conhecimento – filosofia, literatura, pintura, história, geografia – e isto prova que nela coexistem as dimensões científicas, psicológicas, estéticas, enfim, a objetividade e a subjetividade. No Brasil temos vários artistas que retratam paisagens e estabelecem diálogos com a natureza. Nesta pesquisa vamos explorar as aquarelas do artista Norberto Stori que mostram representações do espaço geográfico, mas sem a pretensão de representar a fauna e a flora ou questões relacionadas ao gênero, porém uma paisagem impactada pela ação humana e que clama por recuperação. As aquarelas da série Cubatão produzidas por Norberto Stori refletem o processo de degradação da natureza após o período industrial. Com cores fortes, intensas e agressivas, o artista, interpreta a paisagem industrial de Cubatão modificada pela ação humana, em busca seu pseudodesenvolvimento. As paisagens criadas pelo artista são a transcendência da realidade; são lugares onde os homens não participam diretamente; são representação da presença física do mesmo como elemento depredador da natureza.

Published: October 2024

Thyroid tumors are uncommon in dogs, accounting for 1% to 4% of all canine tumors. The average age of affected animals ranges from 10 to 15 years. The aim of this study was to report the case of a 12-year-old mixed-breed female dog named Pirata, treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Porto. During the physical examination, a nodule in the left thyroid region was observed. Hematology, biochemical profile, thyroid profile, ultrasound, and fine-needle aspiration cytology were requested. The laboratory tests were within normal limits. A presumptive diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma was made, and staging performed through computed tomography revealed no metastasis, but the nodule was closely associated with the carotid artery. Therefore, chemotherapy with doxorubicin was chosen, with cycles administered every 21 days. The chemotherapy treatment did not lead to significant cytoreduction for surgical resection, and the dog surpassed the life expectancy but was euthanized due to worsening health conditions approximately 2.5 years after diagnosis.

Introduction:Karst areas are natural formations formed from carbonate rocks such as limestone and chalk over thousands of years, storing biological and non-biological resources. Although limestone quarries provide an economic source of income, their impact on the environment and health is often negative, especially through air pollution by particulates such as PM10 and PM2.5. Lime dust can cause lung problems, eye irritation and respiratory system problems, especially for lime mine workers. The limestone industry generally operates informally, often ignoring health and safety protections.
Objective: To analyze the relationship between exposure to PM 10 and PM 2.5 dust with respiratory disorders in limestone mining workers.
Method: Literature review from various studies and journals relevant to the research objectives over the last 10 years.
Results: There is a relationship between length of work, age, smoking, and history of illness with respiratory disorders in limestone mine workers.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between exposure to PM 10 and PM 2.5 dust and respiratory disorders in limestone mining workers.
