Authors: Ariel Clayden , Susanti Merry
Published: June 2024

Cash is one of the most important asset owned by a firm. Cash functions to finance all firm’s operating activities. Without cash firm’s operational activities can’t run smoothly. Firms hold a certain amount of cash, this is called cash holdings. The level of cash holdings owned by a firm surely need to be managed well. This research aimed to empirically prove the effect of financial leverage, profitability, capital expenditure, firm size, and growth opportunity on cash holdings. The populations used in this research was 105 consumer non-cyclicals firms that was listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020-2022 period. The sampling method used was the purposive sampling method. The sample used in this research was 50 consumer non-cyclicals firms that was listed in IDX during the 2020-2022 period. The data used for this research was secondary data. The hyphothesis testing method used was multiple linear regression method. The statistical tool used for data processing in this research was Eviews version 12.0. The model that was most suited for this research was the Random Effect Model (REM). The results of this research showed that financial leverage, capital expenditure, and growth opportunity had a negative effect on cash holdings, profitability had a positive effect on cash holdings, while firm size didn’t have any effect on cash holdings. The results of this research implied that managers and investors should consider the level of financial leverage, profitability, and capital expenditure in assesing cash holdings to make a decision.

Community Currencies for a More Just and Equitable Society
Authors: Dama Madagow Caroline
Published: June 2024

To address systemic inequalities in our world, we need to re-imagine money, how it flows, and how it can be used as a tool for prosperity rather than a tool that deepens economic and social divides within communities. Most current monetary systems reward extractive tendencies, disassociating us from each other and from nature. These maladaptive systems alienate and suppress vulnerable communities, defining their value to society in reductive economic terms. Consequently, other inherent skills and resources that a community offers are overlooked. This article explores how community currencies, defined as local forms of exchange designed to support and strengthen local economies, can be tools for shared prosperity. It examines how these new social technologies have the potential to redesign how money flows in a more holistic and beneficial way.

DA ANULABILIDADE DAS CESSÕES DE CRÉDITOS RURAIS: ESTUDO DE CASO EM RELACAO AS INSTITUIÇÕES FINANCEIRAS QUE NÃO OFERECEM TRATAMENTO ISONÔMICO PARA OS DEVEDORES DO AGRONEGÓCIO
Authors: Silva Netto Moacyr Ribeiro da , Ferreira Rildo Mourão
Published: June 2024

A pesquisa visa compreender a validade de cessões de créditos rurais que estejam sendo executados judicialmente por instituições financeiras para terceiros não envolvidos na lide. Pretende-se investigar especialmente os casos nos quais a parte executada manifesta interesse em acordo para adimplir a dívida e que o exequente não oferece a possibilidade de pagamento com desconto e posteriormente realiza a cessão à investidores do mercado financeiro por um preço muito inferior. O estudo justifica-se pela constatação de que investidores têm adquirido dívidas de produtores rurais por valores irrisórios, com vistas à obtenção de imóveis rurais por eles empenhados, sem lhes garantir o direito de quitar a dívida em patrimônio e em igualdade de condições. O objetivo geral destina-se a investigar o abuso de direito dos bancos públicos, que dispondo de capital público considerável, deixam de oferecer os melhores descontos aos devedores primitivos para, injustamente ofertá-los aos investidores do mercado secundário. Os objetivos específicos são: analisar, se, existe direito de preferência para que o devedor do agronegócio pague seu débito, pelo mesmo valor ofertado pelos investidores; verificar as diretrizes para venda de ativos rurais pelas instituições financeiras; e se há possibilidade de anulação das cessões de créditos rurais realizadas sem uma tentativa de acordo com a parte executada. Metodologia de pesquisa: a pesquisa se desenvolveu utilizando uma abordagem mista entre a pesquisa bibliográfica exploratória e o estudo de caso. O caso concreto analisado demonstra que o produtor endividado possuía interesse de remir seus débitos, desde que tivesse acesso às mesmas condições oferecidas aos investidores. Ainda analisando o caso concreto é possível identificar que há possibilidade de anulação das cessões de créditos rurais por instituições financeiras que não tenham oferecido os mesmos descontos concedidos a investidores.

التصنيف المكاني لشبكة النقل في مدينة كربلاء المقدسة وأهميتها في التنمية المستدامة
Authors: عباس عنوز احمد يحيى
Published: June 2024

اكتسب النقل أهمية خاصة من خلال الدور المهم الذي يقوم به في التنمية الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والثقافية وصولا الى التنمية المستدامة ، كما أنه يعد من أهم الهياكل الأساسية التي تعتمد عليها خطط التنمية في كل بلد، إذ اسهم في تحسن وسائل النقل في تسهيل عملية الحركة والانتقال، وخفض تكاليف النقل، والتقليل من نسبة الحوادث المرورية والحد من خطورتها والذي يؤدي بدوره إلى تقليل الإصابات والخسائر المادية الناتجة من جراء تلك الحوادث . كما أن النقل يشجع على قيام صناعات مختلفة تنتج المواد والأدوات التي تحتاجها المشاريع الحيوية مثل الطرق والكباري وغيرها، حيث أصبحت معظم تلك المواد والأدوات تُصنع محلياً وبمواصفات عالمية وبجودة عالية . وهذا ما يحقق اثرا كبيرا وواضحا في مجالات التنمية المستدامة .
لقد تركز البحث على اهمية بيان اصناف شبكة النقل في مدينة كربلاء المقدسة في جانب التنمية المستدامة وقد توصل البحث الى اهم النتائج الآتية :

تمتاز شبكة النقل في المدينة بوجود ستة تصانيف للنقل الحضري كل تصنيف منها محدد وفق خصائصها المكانية وأكثرها شيوعاً هو التصنيف المرتبي (المورفولوجي) والتصنيف الوظيفي .
ان تنوع التصنيف المكاني لشبكة النقل في المدينة وتباينها في معدلات حركة المرور عليها ,جعلها غير كافية لاستيعاب وظيفة النقل والمرور ولاسيما فيما يتعلق بطاقتها الاستيعابية لأعداد المركبات ولاسيما بعد سنة 2003 بسبب تحسن المستوى الاقتصادي لأغلب الأسر الامر الذي أسهم في سهولة شراء المركبة ولاسيما الموظفين وهذا ما عمل على مضاعفة مشكلات النقل والمرور بكافة اصنافها .
على الرغم من بعض المشكلات التي تعاني منها شبكة النقل الا انها تقوم بوظيفة مهمة في جانب مجالات التنمية المستدامة وبكافة جوانبها وهذا ما سيجعلها شبكة جيدة للأجيال القادمة من خلال العمل المستمر على تحسين منظومتها واتجاهاتها المكانية .
Скрытые фигуры и потаенная геометрия в Прелюдии А. Н. Скрябина op. 74 № 1
Authors: Favali F.
Published: June 2024

This paper considers Scriabin’s Prelude op. 74 no. 1 in a new light. Starting from studies on the relation between music and mathematics, it shows how harmonic functions in tonal language can be represented graphically using geometric figures. It then goes deeper into the prelude. The harmonies of the piece are taken into consideration: they are made up of several types of six-note chords. These chords are represented as hexachords and studied as geometrical figures. Thus, a link between harmonies and figures is created. Historical analogies and possible prospects for new research in the aspect of ‘harmony of the world’ are traced.

В данной статье Прелюдия А. Н. Скрябина op. 74 № 1 рассматривается в новом свете. В качестве отправной точки используется исследование связи между музыкой и математикой, демонстрируется, как посредством геометрических фигур гармонические функции могут быть представлены графически. Более подробное рассмотрение Прелюдии включает в себя анализ гармонии: в пьесе используется нескольких типов шестинотных аккордов. Эти аккорды представлены в виде гексахордов и изучены как геометрические фигуры. Таким образом, устанавливается связь между гармонией и фигурами. Прослеживаются исторические аналогии и возможные перспективы новых исследований в аспекте «гармонии мира».
Iron ore development management in the Russian Federation
Authors: Belyaev A. M. , Sharipov F. F. , Dyakonova M. A.
Published: June 2024

The Russian mineral resource complex is the basis for economy real sector development. The reserves of oil, gas, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, timber, and other raw materials are the strategic basis for the state economic development stability.

   The subject of the study is iron ore, by reserves of which Russia is confidently among the top three countries in the world together with Australia and Brazil.

   The global statistics on iron ore production looks a little different since China and India are ahead of Russia in terms of production volumes after the above-mentioned countries. At a time when the country is facing the task of achieving technological sovereignty, and the metallurgical industry is the driver of developing such industries as machine building, construction, and energy, the mineral and raw materials complex development issues are of undeniable interest and relevance.

   The technological development strategy of Russia will rely in its implementation on a stable metallurgical industry, where issues and main directions of ferrous metallurgy development have been identified, which are the main purpose of this study.
Strategies of China and India in the Indo-Pacific region
Authors: Karsanova E. S.
Published: June 2024

The article explores and assesses the strategic initiatives of China and India in the Indo-Pacific region, identifies new geopolitical problems and strategic dilemmas, and discusses emerging opportunities and options to address evolving threats and challenges. Special attention has been paid to the policies of China, whose geopolitical interest revolves around three maritime zones such as the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. China has been generally successful in achieving its regional objectives, but it is precisely because of this that it faces growing challenges for itself since defensive security measures are interpreted by regional states as offensive, which in practice converts into a rather fragile “balance of threats.” India has focused on defending its territory with a strong network of allies, which represents an advantage for the country both commercially and militarily, as well as a crucial element in containing Chinese influence in the region. That said, India is not seeking to become a balancing force in the Indo-Pacific region, but is using the current tensions between the United States and China as a real chance to counter Chinese expansion. In the author’s opinion, the steady trend of military buildup (including in disputed territories), infrastructure network densification, and “special strategic and global partnerships” formation point to the strategic competition growth and increase the likelihood of confrontation escalation in the coming decades.
Ultra-Efficient Electrolytic Ocean Carbon Removal Through Capacitive Decarbon Reactors

Published: June 2024

Direct ocean capture (DOC) is a promising technique for mitigating residual anthropogenic CO2 levels. However, the existing DOC methods are energy-intensive and may have unforeseen effects on marine ecosystems due to the chemical processes involved. We introduce a capacitive decarbon (CDC) reactor that converts carbonate ions into CaCO3, a construction material, using only calcium ions (Ca2+) from seawater and renewable electricity. After optimizations of the electrode and electrolytic reactor, the CDC reactor achieves ocean carbon removal with an exceptionally low energy consumption of 16 kJ mol−1 CO2, which is one order of magnitude lower than previously reported values. This energy requirement increases to 107 kJ mol−1 CO2 when factoring in the seawater intake and pre-treatment. We then used a global integrated analysis model to evaluate the carbon mitigation potential of this approach and found that it can remove about 360 to 1,670 million tonnes of CO2 in 2050 and 2100, respectively, which corresponds to 4.55% and 14.82% of the global carbon sequestration capacity for those years. Given the high efficiency of the CDC reactor, we anticipate it may become a viable solution for sequestering oceanic carbon.
Redefining value: Supporting the uptake of low-carbon housing
Authors:   , Blewden Eloise
Published: June 2024

Low-carbon housing strategies (LCHS) are essential for New Zealand’s existing detached housing stock as it exceeds carbon emission budgets. The uptake of LCHS is limited by current ocularcentric evaluation frameworks, which place value on spatial and cosmetic achievements in housing. To shift inhabitant housing choices to low-carbon and non-toxic materials, reduced floorplan, high-performance design, and residential retrofit, we must change the way architecture is evaluated, valued, and expressed. Recognising the complexity of this value shift, this thesis employs a multi-pronged methodology. The thesis provides context on New Zealand’s current housing landscape and architecture evaluation frameworks. Energy and carbon modelling demonstrate possible tools to evaluate two solutions for a high-carbon existing detached house. Findings from an exhibition and questionnaire indicate the disconnect between personal values and visual preferences and suggest that preference change of LCHS can be prompted with the provision of environmental data. Visual and textual analysis of architecture awards and real-estate magazines confirm the limited visibility of sustainability in current value frameworks. Finally, the thesis suggests layout, façade and windows are housing characteristics that can be leveraged to enhance the visibility and value of low-carbon housing. This thesis suggests alternate ways to evaluate, value and express housing to support the uptake of LCHS. It urges the architectural industry to incorporate environmental data in housing evaluations. Transparent and reliable communication of this information is needed to support inhabitants’ evaluation of housing choices. The thesis also suggests architects should focus on enhancing the perceived value of LCHS through aesthetics, design and visual communication. To support the uptake of LCHS, it is imperative to understand and expand the value frameworks of all housing stakeholders.
A Negotiation of Identities: multi-cultural public spaces to foster the search of self-identity
Authors:   , Manuguid Julianne
Published: June 2024

The nature of identity is constantly changing - defined and refined through culture, values, and context. Particularly through migration, the sense of identity is challenged by unfamiliar environments. In the age of globalisation, the sociocultural landscape is shifting with migrants to arriving in Aotearoa from different countries, bringing with them culture, memories, and knowledge unique to Aotearoa.

Migrating is an uncomfortable and often alienating experience. Recent studies discuss the appropriate urban design to accommodate such differences. Understanding the connections and distinctions of personal identity, and negotiating with the urban realm to accommodate for growing diversities within our cities is a challenge that requires empathy. Empathy which celebrates the diverse cultures that emerge.

Place attachment theory connects identity and public space design to produce spaces of connection and belonging with its inhabitants. In developing a sense of identity in the public realm, architecture can evoke and nurture interactions with and within the built environment. The social context constructed in urban settings is integral to its formation. Strategies conducive to the social productions of space and in evoking agency in the formation of identity relate closely to participatory principles of interaction and exploration.

The role of architecture in the formation of identity is an ongoing field of research. However, it is only lightly explored within the context of migration. Architecture is integral in evoking agency and encouraging autonomy and interaction in the environment. This research investigates how the built environment can be designed to foster a sense of community, easing the social integration of migrants. In doing so, the people take ownership of their personal journey in moving to and settling in Aotearoa.

This research employs qualitative analysis and data collection alongside theoretical research to investigate perceptions of the migrant experience. Connection, autonomy, and the social contexts within spaces are driving principles in mind through the research. The implications are tested in a design exploration within a public context. The exploration of design ideas are driven in response to the characteristics of its place and surrounding physical and social contexts. In addressing the shortcomings of a derelict suburban centre, its redesign aims to introduce principles to form personal and place identity, specifically within a diverse cultural and ethnic community to foster inter-cultural interactions in everyday life.
JUVENTUDES RURAIS: LIMITES E POSSIBILIDADES TEÓRICAS
Authors: Santos Rayane de Moura , Luz Lila Cristina Xavier
Published: June 2024

A reflexão aqui proposta tem como objetivo, inicialmente, pontuar algumas questões sobre juventude e rural, para entender as juventudes rurais. O conceito de juventude é entendido aqui como modo de vida e fase da vida. Porém, uma fase que adquire centralidade na sociedade contemporânea, tendo em vista o importante papel social e político atribuído aos jovens como transformador da sociedade, sobretudo no final da década de 1960. Para entender as juventudes rurais, faz necessário pontuar que estamos entendendo o rural como um território pleno de diversidade e contradições, porém que hoje revela novas funcionalidades e possibilidades de vida, em razão da diversidade que o comporta. Nesse sentido, entender as juventudes rurais exige pensar os sujeitos a partir dos contextos em que vivem: dificuldades, saberes e fazeres atinentes às suas condições de vida.
No intuito de desenvolver uma discussão sobre as juventudes rurais partirmos da compreensão da existência de uma relação rural/urbano, com vistas a superar a ideia da polarização entre ambos. Superar esta dicotomia, pois as realidades urbanas e rurais são permeadas por trocas e preservações, numa complementariedade constituída por meio de processos históricos que caracterizam relações totalmente dinâmicas, dialéticas, diversas e complexas. No entanto, há dificuldade analítica na conceituação das juventudes rurais, decorrente da também dificuldade de conceituar o próprio rural.
Portanto, é imperativo superar a visão essencializada do mundo rural, compreendendo que este não mais existe da mesma forma como no passado, quando o pensávamos como um território marcado apenas pela produção agrícola e pecuária, tradicionalismo, atraso cultural e tecnológico. Vemos um rural que hoje assume outra maneira de existir; falamos de novas ruralidades, de profundas transformações que não significam a morte do rural. Destarte, compreender as juventudes rurais, implica em situá-las nos seus contextos de novas ruralidades. Um rural com múltiplas identidades. Identidades essas que precisam ser compreendidas a partir dos espaços em que os sujeitos as ocupam, de suas realidades cambiantes e diversas.
Ante a tantos debates acerca das juventudes rurais, propomo-nosnas poucas páginas que nos restam, desenvolver uma breve análise acerca dos limites e possibilidades teóricas desta categoria, recorremos às perspectivas analíticas sobre as categorias rural e juventude.

Published: June 2024

A pandemia da COVID-19 trouxe mudanças drásticas no processo de gestão de pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs) face à observância das medidas de carácter restritivo à mobilidade de pessoas e bens impostas pelo governo moçambicano, visando a minimização do seu impacto na saúde da população. Este estudo tem como objectivo identificar os desafios enfrentados pelas PMEs no distrito de Nacarôa (Província de Nampula) no período de Estado de Emergência de Moçambique, explorarando os desafios enfrentados na gestão das empresas durante a crise sanitária. A pesquisa feita nas PMEs locais apresenta as estratégias tomadas pelos empresários para minimizar o impacto da recessão econômica nas suas finanças. A metodologia de pesquisa é o exploratório, de natureza qualitativa e quantitativa, como estudo de caso. A colecta de dados foi feita por meio de entrevistas aos empresários locais e seus colaboradores e também via análises documentais correlatas ao tema desta pesquisa (livros, dissertações, monografias e artigos científicos). As considerções finais indicam que a pandemia do novo coronavírus impactou as PMES, com que houve a redução da actividade económica, abrandamento do consumo privado das famílias, redução da demanda privada pelos bens e serviços, redução da taxa média de lucros dos agentes e diminuição de mão de obra empregada nestas modalidades de empresas.
Determinantes do desempenho escolar nos municípios cearenses no Ideb-2017
Authors: Panassol Paulo Eduardo
Published: June 2024

Os municípios do Ceará vêm, sistematicamente, desde 2007, superando as metas para o Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica e tais resultados estão entre os melhores do país, em que pese a renda per capita média situar-se entre as menores entre os estados brasileiros. Mais, tal desempenho se dá de forma mais eficiente em relação à média das redes municipais brasileiras, a partir do valor investido por aluno frente ao Ideb. Assim, a partir dos resultados no Ideb-2017 e do uso de estimações quantílicas e por mínimos quadrados ordinários, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os fatores determinantes da qualidade educacional dos alunos dos anos finais do ensino fundamental das redes municipais cearenses, em linha com o referencial teórico da eficácia escolar (FRANCO et al. 2007; SAMMONS, 2008; SOARES; ALVES, 2013; ALVES; SOARES, 2013; ALVES; SOARES; XAVIER, 2016). Os resultados aqui encontrados permitem concluir que os fatores relacionados ao background dos alunos são mais significativos nos quantis mais altos da distribuição condicional da variável dependente, enquanto que as características das escolas e dos professores contribuem mais para a qualidade educacional dos alunos cearenses com as menores notas no referido indicador.
Análise socioeconômica da cadeia produtiva do caranguejo-uçá (Ucides cordatus, Linnaeus, 1763) na cidade de Parnaíba (PI)
Authors: Gomes Idevan de Sousa , Crespo Maria de Fátima Vieira
Published: June 2024

O caranguejo-uçá é importante recurso pesqueiro na economia da cidade de Parnaíba, litoral piauense. Por isso, buscou-se estruturar sua cadeia produtiva nessa cidade, ressaltando as atividades, processos, produtos, papel desempenhado pelos agentes econômicos e canais de comercialização dos produtos. Para a identificação dos atores e informantes da pesquisa utilizou-se a técnica snowball sampling (bola de neve) e a coleta de dados derivou de conversas informais e entrevistas guiadas via formulário. O estudo de campo foi realizado entre 16 de setembro e 9 de outubro de 2021, envolvendo sete bairros. Como resultado, tem-se que os fornecedores de caranguejo são todos do sexo masculino, adultos e com baixa escolaridade, o que dificulta a organização e a gestão da atividade de extração. Já as atividades de comercialização, processamento e beneficiamento desse caranguejo são realizadas também por mulheres, principalmente no beneficiamento da carne – estes apresentam maior escolaridade (ensino médio e superior) que os extrativistas e podem alcançar renda de até 10 salários mínimos por família. O caranguejo é comercializado predominantemente de forma in natura, bem como “resfriado” inteiro e beneficiado em carne e patinhas. Os canais de comercialização abrangem tanto o mercado local (litoral piauiense) quanto as capitais Teresina/PI e Fortaleza/CE. Conclui-se que o extrativismo do caranguejo-uçá é relevante na economia de Parnaíba, pois gera significativo número de postos de trabalho e gera renda nas atividades de extração, comercialização e beneficiamento, embora não seja tão significante organização dos trabalhadores.

Serial Murder, Serial Consummerism: Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho (1991)
Authors: Baelo Allué Sonia
Published: June 2024

Bret Easton Ellis is a representative blank fiction writer whose novels deal with violence, indulgence, sexual excess, decadence, consumerism and commerce. In American Psycho (1991) he focuses on the phenomenon of the serial killer. The aim of this paper is to look into the ways in which the seriality of the serial killer’s murders is linked to the seriality provided by different forms of mass culture: talk shows, daily news, advertisements, pop music, magazines and consumerism in general. Our society’s never-ending serial consumerism is mirrored by the serial killer’s never-ending killings. Taken to its ultimate consequences, consumerism includes everything, which dehumanises people and blurs the difference between consuming objects and consuming human beings. The concept of seriality is deeply embedded in our culture, and is shared by serial killer fiction, mass cultural productions, and by consumerism, which may account for the current popularity of the serial killer.

Published: June 2024

The main goal of this article is to analyse the thematic and topical structure of three subgenres: narratives for young children, news items and tourist brochures. The 60 texts under analysis (twenty of each type) were written specifically for publication, and consequently do not provide the possibility of direct feedback between the writer and reader. However, their main rhetorical purpose and their register (Propp 1972, van Dijk 1988a, b, Cook 1992, Luch 2003) are clearly different and it is hypothesized that this plays a key role in their thematic and topical organization. In children’s stories theme tends to be closely associated with topic and in news items the correlation between theme and topic is even higher, whereas in tourist brochures theme seems to precede topic. This positioning is attributed to the communicative intentions of the journalist, travel writer and storywriter, respectively.
El papel del anclaje en la traducción: Los textos periodísticos
Authors: Eva Samaniego Fernández  , Miguel Ángel Campos Pardillos
Published: June 2024

El anclaje contextual es un elemento esencial en la traducción, puesto que tiene una incidencia directa, no sólo en la cantidad informativa que los traductores pueden extraer del mensaje, sino también en el abanico de estrategias de traducción que ofrece el texto o elemento en cuestión. Por ello, se trata de un elemento pragmático esencial para el trasvase interlingüístico. En este trabajo trataremos de dilucidar su alcance y, sobre todo, su relevancia en el proceso de transferencia interlingüística, ya que el grado de especificidad del anclaje, así como la mayor o menor presencia de elementos contextuales y cotextuales aclaratorios del mensaje, influyen enormemente en la especificación del concepto de equivalencia que haga el traductor para cada binomio textual concreto.
The Canon Pro and Contra: 'The Canon is Dead-Long Live Pick and Mix'
Authors: Grabes Herbert
Published: June 2024

The chief argument against the traditional canon is, of course, that it has been a vehicle for national superiority. Yet it is indubitably the case that the creation of a canon of English literature over the centuries is indeed closely bound up with the formation of British national identity. What was produced in this way was largely “an entirely gentlemanly artefact” (to use Lillian S. Robinson’s phrase for the blatant neglect of women authors), as has been amply demonstrated by feminist scholars in recent decades. Quite apart from this, however, the traditional British versions of the canon of English literature are astonishingly broad and are much less in need of an “opening up” than many of the more belligerent “canon busters” claim.Without denying that any canon-making implies competition and value-statements that create hierarchies, it is argued that the formation of literary canons is indispensable in order to keep the literature of the past within cultural and collective memory (not forgetting, too, that the past begins yesterday). Only those acquainted with a fair amount of our literary heritage, after all, will have a chance to individually “pick-and-mix” —and thus to subvert the canonical order that has been their starting-point. This also means that the canon is not a sanctuary but an ongoing project— and one that we relinquish at our collective peril.
Conceptualización e implicaciones didácticas de la otredad para el área del inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL)
Authors: Juan Ramón Guijarro Ojeda
Published: June 2024

En este artículo se pretende abrir la agenda de debate en torno a cuestiones tan importantes y desafiantes como la otredad y las identidades en el aula de inglés. Ofrecemos un gran abanico de antecedentes teóricos, que van desde la Antropología o el Postcolonialismo hasta el Postmodernismo. El lugar que ocupan los discursos literarios en su conceptualización también se aborda a lo largo de la argumentación de este artículo. Por último, llamamos nuestra atención sobre cuestiones centrales dentro del amplio dominio de la otredad, como la cultura/grupos étnicos y las cuestiones de género. Nuestro trabajo concluye resaltando la importancia de la introducción y aplicación de todas estas cuestiones en el ámbito teórico y práctico de la enseñanza de la lengua inglesa con el fin de fomentar pedagogías favorables a la otredad.
La metáfora genérica y el lenguaje político periodístico
Authors: María Ángeles Moreno Lara
Published: June 2024

Lakoff y sus colaboradores (Lakoff, 1990 y 1993; Lakoff & Turner, 1989), han propuesto la existencia de al menos las siguientes metáforas genéricas: La Metáfora de la Estructura del Evento, La Gran Cadena del Ser, LO GENÉRICO ES ESPECÍFICO y LOS EVENTOS SON ACCIONES. En este artículo trataremos de demostrar que la mayoría de las metáforas utilizadas para hablar de política corresponden a la Metáfora de la Gran Cadena o a la Metáfora de la Estructura del Acontecimiento. Sin embargo, sólo esta última estructura de manera funcional todo el dominio de la política, mientras que la Metáfora de la Gran Cadena sólo afecta a aspectos parciales del campo. Intentaremos dilucidar por qué es así y cómo afecta al enfoque cognitivo de la metáfora en general. A continuación, trataremos de explicar el posible papel de las demás metáforas genéricas: LO GENÉRICO ES ESPECÍFICO y LOS SUCESOS SON ACCIONES. Además, hemos considerado tres metáforas de nivel genérico: LAS ACCIONES SON SUCESOS, LAS ACCIONES SON ACCIONES y LAS ACCIONES SON ESTADOS. Por último, la conexión conceptual entre las metáforas estructurales y ontológicas es relevante para ciertas cuestiones relacionadas con la Lingüística Cognitiva, en concreto, la interacción conceptual y la continuidad.
POTENTIAL FOR THE USE OF TELEMEDICINE TOOLS IN THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE – A FORECAST OF A NEW SYSTEM ORGANISATION MODEL USING THE EXAMPLE OF POMORSKIE PROVINCE
Authors: Renk Mateusz , Letkiewicz Andrzej
Published: June 2024

Purpuse: The National Emergency Medical Service (NEMS) is facing financial and human resources problems and according to the Supreme Audit Office (SAO), the shortage of doctors and the financial problems will increase. The purpose of the paper is to show that the introduction of live streaming to the Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) will mitigate the problems resulting from the shortage of medical staff and will significantly reduce the cost of maintaining the operational readiness of the EMTs.
Methodology:The paper is based on applicable legislation and the Provincial Action Plan of the NEMS system for the Pomorskie Province. The forecast was prepared for the outlays and effects of the new organisation and operation of the NEMS system in Pomorskie Province.
Findings: The implementation of live streaming in Pomorskie Province would help reduce the cost of operation of the NEMS system in the province by PLN 10,190,800.00 per year. In addition, this tool would allow the system to operate with only 16 physicians employed, which corresponds to 10% of the current resources and about 90% of the physicians could be employed in other parts of the healthcare system.
Lithology and fluid seismic determination for the Acae area, Puerto Colón oil field, Colombia
Authors: Gómez Frank Harvey , Castagna Jhon Patrick
Published: June 2024

In this work, we applied enhanced geophysical techniques to detect new prospecting zones at the Puerto Colón oil field. The easier-to-produce hydrocarbons are currently being or have been extracted. In order to extract harder-to-produce hydrocarbons, we need to better define the Caballos formation characteristics.  We obtained an acceptable match between the rock-physics laboratory measurements and the petrophysical properties estimated through the use of seismic data.  We used well logs to guide the seismic measurements in the estimation of both porosity and gamma-ray response (from seismic attributes), and acoustic impedance (via seismic inversion), using a neural network approach.  We applied a probabilistic neural network (PNN) because of its particular characteristics of 1) mapping non linear relationships between seismic and well log data; 2) incrementing both accuracy and resolution when performing inversion, as compared to conventional inversion, and; 3) using a mathematical interpolation scheme not implemented as a black box. Poisson and Vp/Vs ratio provide a means to discriminate between high and low reservoir-rock quality at the Caballos formation. Finally, we analyzed three angle gather stacks (0°-10°, 11°-20° and 21°-30°) through elastic inversion.

The aim of this research is to test and analyze the effect of applying the Expected Loss Method on earnings quality in the context of the pandemic surrounding.  The research sample consisted of 16 Islamic commercial banks registered with the Financial Services Authority for the 2019-2022. Using panel regression analysis techniques processed through STATA 18, this research measures earnings quality with discretionary loan loss provisions (DLLP). Control variables include liquidity, which is proxied by the financing-to ratio (FDR), efficiency by BOPO, and bank size by Ln Total Financing. The results show that the impact of EFL on earnings quality is positively significant. This means that the higher the implementation of EFL, the greater the increase in DLLP, which indicates a further decline in earnings quality. During the pandemic, DLLP 27.98 demonstrated a higher value compared to non-pandemic periods, indicating a decline in earning quality during that period. This research provides input for regulators in drafting regulations related to CKPN, which is prone to being used as an earnings management tool. For investors, these findings can help in evaluating bank performance to make better investment decisions.

Serangkaian skandal dan kontroversi praktik korupsi oleh perusahaan telah menimbulkan pertanyaan terkait efektivitas tata kelola perusahaan. Penelitian ini menginvestigasi hubungan antara ketidakefektifan tata kelola  terhadap kontroversi korupsi perusahaan di Asia Tenggara. Menggunakan metode arsip, 515 sampel observasi dilakukan di Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, dan Filipina antara tahun 2017 dan 2021. Sesuai dugaan, temuan penelitian mengungkapkan hubungan erat antara tata kelola yang buruk dan keterlibatan perusahaan dalam skandal korupsi. Selain itu, tata kelola perusahaan yang lemah juga mengurangi efektivitas upaya anti-korupsi di Asia Tenggara. Konsekuensinya, pemahaman komprehensif mengenai hubungan antara tata kelola perusahaan dan skandal korupsi menjadi penting dalam membangun strategi anti-korupsi yang seimbang. Monitoring terhadap implementasi tata kelola perusahaan diperlukan dalam mendukung upaya global pemberantasan korupsi.
DOES INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL STRENGTHEN ENVIRONMENTAL DISCLOSURE ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE DURING COVID-19?

Published: June 2024

This research aims to examine the moderating role of Intellectual Capital (IC) on the influence of Environmental Disclosure (ED) on Financial Performance (FP) in the energy sector listed on the IDX for the period 2020 to 2022. The analysis uses Ordinary Least Square (OLS). The research results found that IC was able to moderate the relationship between ED and EP. This research contributes to the RBV theory regarding IC, an intangible asset in this case that can play a role in increasing ED and FP and encouraging the company's competitive advantage. Apart from that, this research also contributes to sustainability theory, which states that sustainability in companies requires the role of IC as a variable that can encourage ED to increase FP. Thus, IC becomes an important variable that companies must consider to increase FP while still paying attention to sustainability factors.
