O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a adição de polissacarídeos sulfatados (PS) extraídos de duas espécies de macroalgas verdes, Ulva lactuca e Caulerpa racemosa, no meio criodiluidor do sêmen de Colossoma macropomum. Para isso, foram avaliadas quatro concentrações de PS (1,0; 2,0; 3,0 ou 4,0 mg mL-1), de cada macroalga. A coleta de sêmen foi realizada durante o mês de setembro, em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil.  As amostras de sêmen fresco foram analisadas quanto aos parâmetros de motilidade total dos espermatozoides, velocidade curvilinear (VCL), velocidade em linha reta (VSL), velocidade média do trajeto (VAP), morfologia espermática, integridade de membrana e integridade de DNA. Em seguida, foram criopreservadas em meio de congelação contendo dimetilsulfóxido (DMSO) 10% + glicose 5%, e suplementadas com as diferentes concentrações de PS, tendo ainda um tratamento não suplementado como controle. Após 15 dias, foram descongeladas em banho-maria a 45 ºC por oito segundos, e as mesmas análises do sêmen fresco foram realizadas. Através da análise estatística, os resultados mostraram que não houveram diferenças significativas (p > 0,05) entre as diferentes concentrações de PS testadas para nenhum dos parâmetros avaliados. Já em relação ao controle, não houve diferença nas concentrações (p > 0,05) para a motilidade total, no entanto, para VCL, VSL e VAP, as concentrações de 3,0 e 4,0 mg mL-1 de U. lactuca foram prejudiciais (p < 0,05). O mesmo foi observado em 4,0 mg mL-1 de C. racemosa para VSL e VAP. Para a morfologia, 1,0 e 4,0 mg mL-1 de C. racemosa reduziram os espermatozoides normais (p < 0,05), enquanto para as demais concentrações não houve diferença (p > 0,05). Para todas as concentrações de ambas as macroalgas, a integridade de membrana plasmática foi mantida (p > 0,05). Quanto à integridade do DNA, apenas 4,0 mg mL-1 de U. lactuca foi inferior ao controle (p < 0,05), enquanto as demais concentrações mantiveram o número de espermatozoides com DNA íntegro (p > 0,05). De acordo com os resultados obtidos, concentrações mais elevadas de PS são prejudiciais aos espermatozoides de tambaqui no meio de congelação, enquanto concentrações mais baixas mantiveram parâmetros espermáticos. Estudos posteriores são indicados para melhor avaliar o potencial antioxidante destes polímeros no meio criodiluidor do sêmen de C. macropomum, bem como de outras espécies de peixes.

Bahia e Sergipe: um contínuo linguístico que perdura no tempo
Authors: Mota Jacyra Andrade , Oliveira Josane Moreira
Published: February 2023

Este artigo apresenta um estudo comparativo de dados lexicais do Atlas prévio dos falares  baianos - APFB (ROSSI, 1963), do Atlas lingüístico de Sergipe - ALS (FERREIRA et al., 1987)  e do Atlas linguístico do Brasil - ALiB (CARDOSO et al., 2014) com o intuito de verificar a  existência, do ponto de vista lexical, de um contínuo entre Bahia e Sergipe, estados que  integram o chamado subfalar baiano na proposta de Nascentes (1953) para uma divisão  dialetal do Brasil. O corpus da pesquisa é constituído de dados das cartas 124 a 140 do ALS e  das cartas correspondentes do APFB. Quanto aos dados do ALiB, são consideradas apenas quatro perguntas, que têm correspondentes no APFB e no ALS. Comparando dados lexicais  da Bahia e de Sergipe das áreas semânticas da Fauna e de Atividades Pastoris dos três atlas  referidos, que cobrem um intervalo de cerca de 40 anos, sustenta-se a hipótese de um  contínuo linguístico Bahia – Sergipe que perdura no tempo.
A formação de plural em itens nominais na fala de Maranhenses e de Sergipanos com base em dados geolinguísticos
Authors: Béliche Alves Cibelle Corrêa , Ramos Conceição de Maria de Araujo , Bezerra José de Ribamar Mendes
Published: February 2023

A variação na formação do plural em itens nominais do português brasileiro (PB) configura-se como um exemplo daquilo que a tradição gramatical entende como um desvio da norma padrão, isso porque seu uso é enfocado como sendo de natureza obrigatória e, em geral, tende a ser associado à fala de pessoas mais escolarizadas e em um registro formal ou coloquial mais monitorado. Partindo dessa visão – a de que esse fenômeno é muito mais uma exigência social que linguística – este artigo busca, com base nos pressupostos da Dialetologia Pluridimensional e da Sociolinguística, investigar o fenômeno da concordância nominal na fala de maranhenses e de sergipanos, considerando as localidades que compõem a rede de pontos do Atlas Linguístico do Maranhão (ALiMA), para o estudo deste estado, e do Atlas Linguístico do Brasil (ALiB), para Sergipe. Com essa amostra representativa, foi possível fazer uma análise comparativa dos dados obtidos e observar a concordância nominal como um fenômeno com uma visível tendência à variação na formação do plural de itens terminados em ditongo oral, como chapéu e degrau, condicionado em grande medida por fatores de ordem diastrática.

Published: February 2023

O artigo aborda uma análise das unidades fraseológicas e dos tabus linguísticos presentes no  repertório linguístico de falantes nordestinos para nomear o item lexical diabo. Os informantes foram distribuídos equitativamente por ambos os sexos, em duas faixas etárias, selecionados de acordo com os critérios da Dialetologia Contemporânea. Os dados foram recolhidos de inquéritos do Projeto Atlas Linguístico do Brasil (ALiB) coletados em cidades de três estados do Nordeste brasileiro: Alagoas, Pernambuco e Maranhão. Pautando-se nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Geolinguística Pluridimensional, analisou-se a primeira pergunta do Questionário Semântico-Lexical referente à área semântica Religião e Crenças, com o intuito de verificar as unidades fraseológicas e os tabus linguísticos presentes nas respostas dos informantes como: anjo mau, besta fera, bicho preto, bicho ruim, coisa ruim, inimigo atentado e príncipe do céu. O estudo revelou a presença de fraseologismos e tabus linguísticos que podem ser relacionados a mitos e superstições advindas das crenças religiosas dos falantes
Surgimento, crescimento e decadência da pesca industrial gaúcha: uma abordagem da nova economia institucional
Authors: Souza Marco Aurélio Alves de
Published: February 2023

Apesar da existência das políticas desenvolvimentistas do Governo Federal para o surgimento da pesca industrial, a posterior diminuição da produção foi uma realidade que prejudicou o crescimento do setor industrial e pode ter sido resultado de instituições inadequadas, pois a intervenção governamental através de políticas públicas são elementos (regras) institucionais que condicionam o funcionamento da pesca e influenciam na preservação dos recursos pesqueiros. Nessa contextualização, este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar e identificar a importância das instituições na industrialização da atividade pesqueira no Rio Grande do Sul. Para tanto, foi feito uso do marco teórico e analítico da Nova Economia Institucional. Pelos resultados, constatou-se que, até a década de 1960, predominava no Rio Grande do Sul a atividade pesqueira artesanal com preponderância das regras estabelecidas pelos pescadores na regulamentação dos direitos de uso dos recursos pesqueiros, mas, a partir desse período, inicia a intervenção direta do governo para o desenvolvimento da atividade pesqueira por meio de políticas de incentivo fiscal e crédito rural, as quais possibilitaram o surgimento de indústrias de transformação e geraram o crescimento da produção, dada a maior necessidade de produtos pesqueiros, mas por não haver preocupação com a capacidade natural de reposição dos recursos pesqueiros, acarretou posterior diminuição dos estoques pesqueiros com queda da produção, prejudicando o próprio setor pesqueiro industrial com a falência de inúmeras industrias.

Automatic Low-cost Water Level Indicator for Tanks and Hand Washing Water Dispensers in Kitui; Kenya during the Covid 19 Pandemic
Authors: JUMA MARY , Ahmed Abusabah , Kumeda Kussia Bulbula , Kuya Sammy
Published: February 2023

In day to day life, millions and millions of liters of water is being wasted through overflowing or excessive usage. In Kitui specifically, water availability by itself a challenge since the area rarely experiences long rainy seasons, has no flowing rivers, the dams are dry and there are only few boreholes available. It is for these reasons that we propose the adaptation of probe sensors to detect the water level in the hand washing water dispensers and storage tanks of the available boreholes in Kitui. The probe sensors detect the water level when they come in contact with them and in return a light emitting diode of the corresponding probe blinks. The system calculates the water level up to 100% by intervals of 25%. Moreover, the system is also connected to a relay switch that automatically turns on or off based on the water level. When each interval is reached, the light emitting diode blinks. At 25% the water level in the tank is lowest and this prompts the buzzer to produce a sound notifying the attenders that the tank needs to be refilled. An automatic refill also takes place due to the additional circuit connection. At 100% the relay goes OFF and water refill stops hence water wastage is avoided.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: In the world, about 1 million people suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women increases maternal mortality and morbidity rates. In the scenario of COVID-19, it is known that the immune response, inflammation, and coagulation are modulated by vitamin D activity. Objective: It was to analyze the main considerations of the effects of vitamin D on pregnant women and fetuses in the scenario of COVID-19, presenting the mechanisms of inflammatory and immunological processes in an attempt to mitigate the worsening of comorbidities and deaths. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The research was carried out from September to October 2022 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 210 articles were found, 82 articles were evaluated and 32 were included in this systematic review. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 28 studies with a high risk of bias and 28 studies that did not meet GRADE. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with I2 =98.9% >50%. There is a relationship between vitamin D status and the severity of COVID-19 in pregnant women. Vitamin D levels are low in pregnant women with COVID-19. Furthermore, there is a significant difference regarding the level of vitamin D and the severity of COVID-19 in pregnant women. Maintaining adequate vitamin D levels may be useful as an approach to preventing an aggressive course of inflammation induced by this novel coronavirus in pregnant women.

Authors: Luiz Filho Joel da Silva , Picolotto Guilherme Augusto
Published: February 2023

A exigente tarefa de combater incêndios no Brasil compete aos Corpos de Bombeiros Militares, sendo desempenhada por homens e mulheres abnegados que diante das adversidades impostas, esforçam-se para preservar vidas e patrimônios. Para o cumprimento de tão nobre missão é primordial o uso de equipamento de proteção individual e respiratória. Esses equipamentos permitem ao usuário adentrar em ambientes imediatamente perigosos a vida e a saúde, com altas temperaturas, baixa visibilidade e extremamente tóxicos. Todavia, invisível a olho nu estão os microrganismos, que podem se acumular na máscara facial, a qual geralmente é de uso coletivo, e causar infecções no trato respiratório dos bombeiros. Este estudo verificou que o investimento em uma máscara facial representa 8% do valor total empregado para equipar um bombeiro para ocorrências dessa natureza, sendo um aporte imprescindível para valorização e proteção deste profissional. Deste modo, conclui-se que quando a máscara facial é compartilhada, há uma elevada exposição do usuário a contração de infecções respiratórias, fato que pode ser minimizado pelo uso individual deste equipamento.

Authors: Mahmood Aina Suriani , Saad Noor Saazai Mat , Nur Nurhayati Mohd
Published: February 2023

Aviation English is a specialized language mainly used in aviation, such as in aircraft maintenance areas. Teaching Aviation English usually faces more challenges compared with teaching general English. It pays more attention to the specific needs of learners and the language in the context. Therefore, this study aimed to discuss the challenges of English teachers in teaching English to aircraft maintenance students. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the three English teachers from three different aviation schools in Malaysia. The data were analyzed thematically and managed by ATLAS.ti software. Overall, the findings showed that the teachers face challenges in teaching and designing Aviation English materials, activities, and syllabi. It was revealed that there was a shortage of textbooks and materials on Aviation English. Another challenge is related to the student's motivation and language proficiency and teachers' excessive workload. Meanwhile, in terms of needs, they should have support in some aspects like teaching materials sources and Aviation English training. Besides that, there is a need for the teachers to collaborate with people from the industry in order to find out their requirements and revise the English course accordingly. The revealed challenges and needs would help the teachers and learning institutions develop solutions to fulfill the needs of the teachers and aviation students.
Which renal access technique for percutaneous nephrolithotomy is more difficult to teach using simulation in surgical training?
Authors: Yin Anne , Diab Christian , Andonian Sero , Bhojani Naeem , AlMarzouq Ahmad , White Caroline , Fahmy Nader
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a challenging procedure that urology trainees should be familiar with during residency. Simulators, such as the PERC Mentor, allows the development of this competency in a safer, stress-free environment. There are two primary fluoroscopic methods of gaining percutaneous renal access: the triangulation method and the bull’s eye method. Our goal was to assess which method is easier to teach novices by using the PERC Mentor simulator. A secondary goal is to assess differences in subjective and objective outcomes.
Methods: Fifteen simulator and procedure-naive medical trainees were randomized into two groups using a crossover, randomized study design. Participants were provided with written, video, in-person demonstrations and hands-on practice for each technique. They then performed each method and were assessed objectively using the PERC Mentor performance data report and subjectively using the PCNL global rating scale (GRS) scoring system. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s T-test and non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank test.
Results: There was no statistical difference in the outcomes and complication rates between the two methods. The bull’s eye method of obtaining percutaneous access was associated with a significant decrease in operative time (91 seconds vs. 128 seconds, p=0.03) and fluoroscopy time (87 seconds vs, 123 seconds, p=0.03) compared to the triangulation method.
Conclusions: Teaching of both techniques was equally well-acquired by students. Both techniques had similar outcomes; however, the bull’s eye method was associated with less operative and fluoroscopy time when compared to the triangulation method among novices.
Teste Talk: A trial social media campaign to improve awareness of testicular torsion
Authors: Sawchuk Taylor , Metcalfe Peter
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Adolescent males are particularly prone to testicular torsion, often resulting in subsequent orchiectomy. A lack of knowledge about testicular pathologies, as well as hesitancy to discuss genital concerns, are fundamental, preventable barriers to early presentation. We hypothesized that a social media campaign to improve awareness of testicular torsion and other urological conditions affecting adolescents may overcome such barriers in this population.
Methods: A social media campaign, “Teste Talk,” was created and promoted on Instagram and Facebook. Data was collected from June 1 to December 1, 2021. Instagram followers, Facebook page likes, Instagram and Facebook reach, post likes, Instagram follower demographics, and advertisement data were reviewed. Data was collected using Meta Business Suite. Paid promotions to improve awareness of the campaign were targeted towards 13–18-year-old males in Alberta and were funded by the Undergraduate Research Initiative Support Fund.
Results: The campaign reached 26 072 Instagram accounts and 14 741 Facebook accounts. The Instagram page amassed 382 followers, while the Facebook page accumulated 99 likes. Paid advertisements were seen 81 136 times on Instagram and Facebook. Instagram surveys demonstrated that over the study period, followers had an increased awareness of testicular torsion and how to recognize it. No patients presenting with torsion during the study period admitted to seeing the campaign.
Conclusions: Testicular torsion remains a significant issue among adolescent males, and creative ways to disseminate information and increase knowledge and conversations about testicular pathologies are needed. Social media campaigns present a potential pathway for increasing awareness and reducing delays to presentation and orchiectomies.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) has a positive impact on the quality of care given to patients. Its increasing adoption in Canadian urology practice also influences the surgical training of residents and fellows. Currently, the lack of clear objectives makes RAS education challenging. The main objective of our study is to highlight how urology trainees perceive the importance of RAS and the standardization of its training.
Methods: In 2021, we conducted a survey of all the residents and fellows enrolled in a Canadian urology program. The questions assessed their opinion on the importance of RAS and on their robotic surgery training.
Results: The response rate was 29%. The majority of participants (67%) wished that they would have a better exposure to RAS during their surgical training. Only 7% of respondents reported that their program had clear criteria to help them progress through the steps of RAS, and most trainees (81%) felt their residency program should provide them with a formal RAS training program. Seventy-six percent of respondents believed that RAS would become a core skill required by the Royal College in the future, although 32% feared it would hinder their ability to learn other important techniques, such as open surgery.
Conclusions: Our study revealed that, although most respondents are interested in RAS, their training lacks standardization. Moreover, the potential integration of RAS as a core skill of the Royal College faces some important challenges, mostly due to the perceived lack of time to learn a new surgical technique.

Published: February 2023

У зв’язку з посиленням ролі регіонів у формування конкурентоспроможної національної економіки все більшого значення набуває формування регіональної конкурентоспроможності. Важливим є вивчення та дослідження впливу різних чинників на формування конкурентоспроможності економіки на регіональному рівні. Всі регіони різняться за своїми можливостями, ресурсами, потенціалом, набором конкурентних переваг, але вони виступають повноправними учасниками конкурентних відносин з приводу залучення ресурсів, кваліфікованої робочої сили, інвестицій і т.д. Рівень конкурентоспроможності регіону відображає його рівень соціально-економічного розвитку. В статті представлені результати досліджень поглядів науковців, щодо чинників які впливають на формування конкурентоспроможності економіки на регіональному рівні. Досліджено підходи вітчизняних вчених до класифікації чинників. Запропоновано розширену класифікацію чинників конкурентоспроможності економіки регіону. Виявлено взаємозв’язок чинників конкурентоспроможності та конкурентних переваг економіки на регіональному рівні.
Соціальний аудит охорони здоров’я і безпеки праці персоналу в умовах воєнного стану в Україні та постпандемії COVID-19
Authors: Даниленко О. А.
Published: February 2023

Проаналізовано та оцінено стан та рівень охорони здоровʼя і безпеки праці (ОЗіБП) (на прикладі АТ «ПроКредит Банк») за такими складовими: безпека праці персоналу в умовах воєнного стану, ОЗіБП в умовах пандемії COVID-19, заходи щодо збереження здоров’я загалом в умовах постпандемії COVID-19. Як інструмент оцінювання, використано дослідницький підхід (метод експертних оцінок) соціального аудиту. Для цього у листопаді 2022 р. проведено онлайн опитування обраних працівників головного офісу АТ «ПроКредит Банк». Виявлено, що більшість оцінених працівниками критеріїв/показників (дій, заходів) в системі ОЗіБП в умовах воєнного стану та постпандемії COVID-19 є позитивними, адже в банку керуються етичними принципами ведення бізнесу. Разом з тим, виявлено окремі недоліки та запропоновано напрями удосконалення системи ОЗіБП. Обгрунтовано, що результати соціального аудиту ОЗіБП на основі дослідницького підходу можуть сприяти підвищенню високого рівня лояльності та залученості працівників та доповнити комплексну об’єктивну оцінку ступеня відповідності підприємства законодавству та нормативним актам з ОЗіБП. У цьому ми вбачаємо практичну користь дослідження.

How we decide how much of our capital to place at risk is a subject for which there is a canonical solution from academic finance, that being the work of Markowitz and Sharpe, a canonical solution from Information Theory and gaming literature, that being the Kelly Criterion, and a decided lack of fealty to either rule from practitioners.
Swap Rate fallback: unreasonable effectiveness of approximations and alternatives
Authors: Henrard Marc
Published: February 2023

Observes that cash-settled swaptions with collateral discounting are impacted by the Swap Rate fallback mechanisms decided by working groups/ISDA. The legacy vanilla swaptions are becoming exotic products, as the mechanism is based on a non-linear transformation of the OIS swap rate, and generate convexity adjustments. It turns out that those two effects almost cancel each other and lead to almost vanilla products. Henrard analyses those cancelling effects and the risk management impacts. Based on those insights, Henrard proposes an adjusted fallback mechanism that reduces further the exotic features and simplifies further the risk management of the legacy book.

Türkiye, sahip olduğu iklimin farklılık göstermesi sebebiyle çoğu bitki türünün yetişmesine imkân sağlayan ülkeler arasındadır. Bu bitki türleri arasında yer alan ve ekonomik öneme sahip olan elma, armut ve ayva türü üzerine yapılan bu çalışmada TÜİK verilerine bağlı olarak projeksiyon durumlarının hesaplanması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada incelenen elma türünde projeksiyon katsayısı -20,71 ile 19,58 arasında değişirken ortalama projeksiyon katsayı değeri 5,70 olarak belirlenmiştir. Armut türünde projeksiyon katsayıları -2,78 ile 6,51 arasında, ayva türünde ise -23,01 ile 37,68 arasında değişim gösterirken bu türlerde ortalama projeksiyon katsayıları sırasıyla 2,05 ile 4,87 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu projeksiyon katsayılarına bağlı olarak üç meyve türünün gelecek yıllarda üretim değerlerinin (biyotik ve abiyotik koşulların etkisi göz ardı edilmek kaydıyla) artış göstereceği öngörülmektedir.

Dalam dunia industri kurang ergonomisnya cara kerja yang ada dan pengaturan jadwal kerja yang kurang baik dapat mengakibatkan kecelakaan kerja, gangguan kesehatan dan keluhan-keluhan fisik yang diakibatkan kurang ergonomisnya suatu pekerjaan. Keluhan-keluhan tersebut sering dialami oleh pekerja yang menggunakan sistem shift  kerja.

Analisa bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi, menganalisis dan merumuskan strategi untuk menentukan sistem shift kerja yang baik untuk menekan penurunan produktivitas  pekerja shift kerja, karena perusahaan memiliki jumlah jam kerja yang cukup panjang dan menggunakan sistem 3 shift kerja dengan 4 group. Dengan menggunakan kuesioner dampak shift kerja dan kuesioner nordic body map dilakukan pada pekerja untuk shift pagi, shift sore,  dan shift malam. Kuesioner dampak shift kerja digunakan untuk mengetahui keluhan-keluhan kerja terhadap performansi, kesehatan, dan psikososial. Kuesioner nordic body map digunakan untuk mengetahui keluhan-keluhan pekerja terhadap keluhan fisik. Untuk dapat mengetahui tingkat beban  pada shift pagi, shift siang, dan shift malam ,dilakukan pengujian denyut nadi pada pekerja yang menggunakan sistem shift kerja dengan jumlah responden sebanyak 7 orang. Pengujian dilakukan pada shift pagi, shift siang, dan shift malam dengan responden yang sama dengan cara pengujian dilakukan pada saat sebelum bekerja, saat bekerja, dan setelah bekerja. Hasil uji denyut nadi kemudian diolah dengan menggunakan pengujian hipotesis One Way Anova untuk melihat apakah terdapat pebedaan yang signifikan antara shift pagi, shift siang, dan shift malam.  Hasil uji  Anova  terhadap shift pagi, shift siang, dan shift malam pada saat bekerja menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara nilai rata-rata denyut nadi   shift pagi dengan shift malam. Sedangkan pada saat sebelum dan setelah bekerja pada shift pagi, shift siang, dan shift malam tidak menunjukkan perbedaan nilai rata-rata denyut nadi  yang begitu signifikan.

Psychological Factors Influencing Entrepreneur’s Hometown Identity in Relation to Eco-Innovation
Authors: Rama Agyemang , Chen Shuangying , Martin Konan
Published: February 2023

Despite being the underpinning of economic development, entrepreneurs encounter numerous obstacles and limitations while trying to innovate, especially when it comes to eco-innovations. Eco-innovations have been acknowledged in the European Union (EU) as a significant factor in sustainable and environmentally friendly development. Even though there has been an increase in eco-innovation research, it is still unclear what motivates entrepreneurs in the informal sector to innovate in this way. This research assesses a set of eco-innovation principles created around the idea within informal economic enterprises by using a triple conceptual grounding approach. Researchers suggest that an entrepreneur's sense of place at home influences their success in terms of eco-innovation. The research has two objectives: 1) To identify the primary obstacles to the advancement of eco-innovations, and 2) To assess how well the principal obstacles are progressing among EU nations. In addition, researchers investigate how internal and external environmental variables influence management discretion (i.e., institutional ownership and market complexity). Researchers suggest that market complexity acts as a positive moderator while ownership concentration acts as a negative moderator of the positive association between entrepreneurs' community identification and eco-innovation. The results confirm these hypotheses employing openly traded corporations from 2002 to 2016 in environmentally damaging areas. This study contributes to the existing literature on the social responsibility of companies and upper-echelon theory and has significant practical complications.
The Impact of Interest Rates and Treasury Bill Yields on Stock Prices in Zambia
Authors: Gebremeskel Yordanos , Malawo Levison
Published: February 2023

The paper analyzes the short-run and long-run effects of interest rates and Treasury bill rates on stock prices on the Lusaka Securities Exchange (LuSE) using semi-annual data between January 2006 and January 2022. ARDL model is used after we proved that there is no ARCH effect on the dependent variable (LNLASI). The findings show that deposit interest rates had a significant but weak negative impact on stock prices in the short run but had a positive impact on the stock prices in the long run, lending interest rates on the other hand had an insignificant positive impact on stock prices but a negative impact on stock prices in the long run. Treasury bill yields were found to have a negative significant impact on stock prices but had an insignificant negative impact on stock prices in the long run. Moreover, we found co-integration between among the three variables which means that there is a long run equilibrium relationship. As a result, the study concludes that, in the long-run, interest rates and Treasury bill rates have a combined effect on stock prices.
Moroccan Women and Colonial Encounters in Leonora Peets’ Women of Marrakech
Authors: BENLAHBIB Abdelghafour , TOUZANI Hamza , DERDAR Mohammed
Published: February 2023

Since narratives about colonial Morocco historicize turning points marked by shifting patterns of intercultural encounters, political developments, and local experiences of Moroccan women caught under the grip of colonialism and modernity, Women of Marrakech (1988) by Leonora Peets is a contribution to this literature that describes a period when Moroccans’ identities, particularly women's, have been shaped by colonialism and its subsequent encountering with the European other. Seen as a manifestation of the global modernity process, colonialism altered the material and epistemological circumstances of Morocco and other nations around the world. In that regard, the present paper contends that the encounter between Moroccan women and Europeans has contributed to the formation of Moroccan women's consciousness. Drawing upon Mary Pratt’s concept of “contact zones” (1992), the paper concludes arguing that the presence of Europeans in Marrakech has gradually influenced the attitudes of Peets’ women about themselves, their husbands and families, and their overall sense of Moroccanness.
