El grado que tiene el estudiante dentro de la institución influye significativamente en las razones de elección de la profesión como oficial de la Policía. 3). Las variables sociodemográficas como grado, nivel de escolaridad y sexo influyen de manera significativa en la consideración de que la antigüedad afecta el comportamiento dentro de la institución. Como conclusión, hay estudiantes que infringen las normas causando daños a los demás miembros de la comunidad y justifican su comportamiento por ser antiguos en la institución, al considerar que es un privilegio que se han ganado con respecto a los demás estudiantes. Igualmente, es prioritario el diseño de estrategias de convivencia, por parte de las escuelas de formación policial, para minimizar las conductas contrarias a la disciplina por parte de los estudiantes antiguos y la aplicación a tiempo de los correctivos necesarios para establecer el buen ambiente escolar. La riqueza de los datos obtenidos abre nuevos horizontes investigativos sobre la disciplina y su incidencia en los ambientes educativos.
ANÁLISE SOBRE OS IMPACTOS DA DISTRIBUIÇÃO FUNCIONAL DA RENDA SOBRE DEMANDA AGREGADA NA ECONOMIA BRASILEIRA DE 1997 A 2019
Authors: Chaves Marcelo Santos , Nascimento dos Santos Ricardo Bruno
Published: August 2024

O propósito do presente ensaio é efetuar uma investigação empírica sobre os impactos da distribuição funcional da renda sobre demanda agregada, de maneira que se possa constatar qual o regime de crescimento vigorou na economia brasileira no período entre 1997-2019, tendo como hipótese preliminar a tese levantada por Araújo e Gala (2012), de que o regime de crescimento vigente na economia em questão é do tipo profit-led, onde a demanda agregada responde de forma positiva a um aumento na participação dos lucros na renda. Os resultados apurados não corroboraram com tal tese, e apontaram para um regime de crescimento baseado nos salários.

Gamasellus onitiaesp. nov. (Ologamasidae: Mesostigmata) has been identified and described after being been collected from a dung beetle, Onitis philemon (Scarabaeidae, Coleoptera), in India. The specimen was found to be attached via a claw to the head region of the beetle. The mite–beetle association appeared to be phoretic. The distal setae, ventral setae, sternal shield length, and peritreme of G. onitiae sp. nov. differ from those of the closely related Gamasellus falciger (G. Canestrini & R. Canestrini), Gamasellus deepdelensis (Ryke), Gamasellus racovitzai (Jumeau and Usher), and Gamasellus bellavistae Emberson.

Diplômes et emplois informels au Niger : les enseignements de l'enquête nationale sur l'emploi et le secteur informel
Authors: Nafiou Malam Maman
Published: August 2024

Cet article se propose d'identifier les déterminants de l'emploi informel, en mettant l'accent sur l'effet des types de diplômes. Exploitant les données de l'enquête nationale sur l'emploi et le secteur informel (ENESI, 2012) de l'Institut National des Statistiques du Niger et à l'aide de la méthode du Probit, l'article montre que les travailleurs ayant été à l'école, tous niveaux confondus, ont plus de chance de sortir de l'informel que ceux qui n'ont jamais fréquenté ; mieux, cette chance de sortie s'accroit avec le niveau d'études. En outre, plus un père est instruit, moins son enfant exerce dans l'informel. Par ailleurs, l'éducation du père est la principale différence entre les déterminants de l'emploi informel entre les milieux urbain et rural. Enfin, les régions qui ont les plus faibles taux bruts de scolarisation sont aussi celles qui offrent le plus d'opportunités d'activités informelles.

Les quatre principaux piliers de la compétitivité pour soutenir la croissance économique libanaise
Authors: Ghossoub Rosette
Published: August 2024

Depuis le début de la guerre civile de 1975, le Liban a toujours été victime de turbulences politiques et de problèmes de gouvernance. Le taux de croissance a connu une série de pics et de creux sans jamais suivre une trajectoire stable. Selon les données du UN-statistics, les taux les plus marquants et significativement négatifs sont ceux de 1975 soit -30.3%, de 1976, -30.3%, de 1988, -28.2% et de 1989, -42.5%. En parallèle, les pics ont été atteints en 1977, soit 83.3%, en 1984, 44.5% et 1991 soit 38.2%. À partir de 1992, ces taux sont descendus en-dessous de 10%, exception faite pour l'année 2009 où le taux était de l'ordre de 10.1%, pour atteindre en 2016 1%. Suivant les données des comptes nationaux de la banque mondiale, ce taux est passé à 2% en 2017 et estimé aux alentours de 2% en 2018.
Dynamique de reseau : hétérogénéité, rationalité et inertie
Authors: Malin Éric
Published: August 2024

Revisitant les travaux de Farrell et Saloner (1985, 1986) sur les processus d ' adoption technologique ou de choix de standard, cet article analyse les problèmes liés au timing des décisions et approfondit l ' étude de l ' effet d ' inertie dans ces situations. Nous centrons notre analyse sur l ' interaction des effets de réseau et des externalités informationnelles pour montrer que la révélation d ' information, par ses effets backward et forward, peut dans certain cas éliminer l ' inertie inefficiente alors que toute la littérature sur les réseaux a majoritairement mis l ' accent sur les effets de bandwagon donnant systématiquement lieu à des comportements d ' entrainement ou surtout d ' inertie excessive. Dans un cadre d ' information incomplète sur les préférences des agents, nous autorisons la position d ' incompatibilité transitoire ainsi que toute situation de coût de changement de manière à examiner sans biais et complètement l ' impact de la diffusion d ' information sur les décisions d ' adoption des agents. Enfin, certains de nos résultats sur les stratégies d ' équilibre et l ' optimalité de ces dernières peuvent être réinterprétés à partir de l ' hétérogénéité de la population, en termes de préférences ou de capacité à traiter l ' information. Certains types d ' agent ne réagissant pas à leur environnement vont entrainer un biais dans les décisions des agents sophistiqués et influencer de manière « disproportionnée » le résultat et l ' optimalité du jeu.

Authors:   Research Scientist of the Department of Regional Economic and Social Problems, Kolobov Roman Yu.
Published: August 2024

The article examines the problem of improving the normative and organizational princi-ples of protection of World Natural Heritage properties from threats caused by global climate change. The importance of the topic in the light of the implementation of the order of the Pres-ident of the Russian Federation on the formation of regional adaptation plans to the effects of climate change is shown. The international legal basis of climate regulation is given, typical threats to the state of unique natural objects determined by climate change are revealed. The documents of the World Heritage protection system in the sphere of adaptation to the conse-quences of global climate change are analyzed, their most important provisions are summa-rized. It is noted that there are climatic risks to the state of conservation of Lake Baikal, as well as a clear lack of reflection of this topic in environmental legal studies. Measures are proposed to improve environmental legislation in terms of enshrining the peculiarities of protection of World Natural Heritage properties and taking into account climate change issues in the man-agement of Lake Baikal as a World Heritage property. A proposal is made to amend the Federal Law "On Protected Areas" in terms of the need to prepare management plans for World Natural Heritage properties, including adaptation to the changing climate.

Comparison of ICSI and Spontaneous Pregnancy Outcomes in Women with Unexplained Infertility
Authors: Başbuğ Alper , Yurtçu Engin , Keyif Betül , Düzenli Fatma Nur
Published: August 2024

Aim: This study aimed to investigate whether there is a difference between the results of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) pregnancies and subsequent spontaneous pregnancies with a diagnosis of unexplained infertility.
Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 48 women who first conceived with ICSI and then achieved spontaneous pregnancy were included. Duration and causes of infertility, time to spontaneous conception, pregnancy outcomes, and maternal and neonatal complications were evaluated.
Results: Maternal age was older in the spontaneous pregnancy group compared to the ICSI group (p=0.029). The gestational age at delivery was found similar in both groups. Although birth weight was higher in the spontaneous pregnancy group, the difference between the groups was not statistically significant (p=0.382). The time to achieve pregnancy was shorter in the spontaneous pregnancy group (p=0.001). Gestational diabetes was significantly higher in the spontaneous pregnancy group (p=0.001), while amniotic fluid abnormality, gestational hypertension (p=0.001), and preterm delivery (p=0.001) were significantly higher in the ICSI group. While the number of babies with the 1st-minute low Apgar score was higher in the ICSI group (%4.16 vs 2.08%, p=0.001), the 5th-minute Apgar score was similar.
Conclusion: Even if couples are evaluated as infertile, it should be taken into consideration that they can achieve spontaneous pregnancy. It may be rational to wait for spontaneous pregnancy in eligible couples with unexplained infertility and not to refer the patient for early assisted reproductive techniques.
The Importance of Aneurysm Morphology and Perianeurysmal Environment in Aneurysmal Subdural Hematomas
Authors: Akdağ Rıfat , Soylu Uğur
Published: August 2024

Aim: Aneurysmal subdural hematoma (anSDH) is an uncommon condition associated with significant mortality risk. This study focused on the relationship between morphology and the perianeurysmal environment by comparing aneurysm location and clinical outcomes.
Material and Methods: A total of 486 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage were retrospectively analyzed for accompanying subdural hematoma (SDH) cases. Demographic information, rebleeding, discharge, and 6 months of the modified Rankin scale scores (favorable and unfavorable) were recorded. The aneurysms were divided into 3 groups: internal carotid artery (ICA), anterior cerebral artery (ACA), and middle cerebral artery (MCA). Other parameters included aneurysm morphology, SDH width, intracerebral hematoma (ICH) volume, the presence of intraventricular hematoma, and distance to the subdural space.
Results: Concomitant SDH was detected in 19 (3.9%) patients. Aneurysms were located in the ICA, 10 (52.6%); MCA, 8 (42.1%); and ACA, one (5.3%). The mean size was 9.5±4.3 mm, and there was a significant difference in aneurysm size between the ICA and MCA (p=0.025). In six supraclinoid aneurysms (posterior communicating and anterior choroidal arteries), the aneurysm dome was in the inferior lateral projection. No significant differences were observed between patients with favorable and unfavorable modified Rankin scale in terms of clinical and aneurysm morphological characteristics, except for increased ICH volume (p=0.020) and shift effects (p=0.030).
Conclusion: The size and dome projection of ICA supraclinoid segment aneurysms may be important risk factors for SDH. We also believe that aneurysm localization may have a limited impact on clinical outcomes in the context of SDH.

Authors: Rajitha G. , Padmaja B. , Reddy M. Malla , Madhavi A. , Reddy S. Narender , Triveni S. , Yakadri M.
Published: August 2024

Background: One of the main reasons for India’s decreased food production is the depletion of soil fertility. The primary causes of soil deterioration are lack of awareness among farmers and lack of land use regulations. By limiting the erosion and enhancing the nutrients available to the crops, conservation agriculture increases the organic matter content of the soil and contributes to the improvement of field conditions. But compared to conventional agriculture, the practise of conservation agriculture is less advanced. And also there is a dearth of research on the use of crop residues for the management of soil fertility. So this study was undertaken in order to examine the impacts of crop residue, inorganic fertilizers and cropping system as a component of an integrated crop residues and fertility management system on nutrient uptake and net returns of greengram. Methods: The experiment consists of strip plot design and was carried out during 2020-21 and 2021-22 under zero till conditions at college farm, Rajendranagar, PJTSAU to study the effect of previous crop residues and fertility levels on succeeding greengram. Result: According to the data, greengram absorbed more nutrients at various growing stages. The residual effect of incorporation of residues treated with microbial consortia composed of Trichoderma viridae, Aspergillus awamori and Phanerocheate spp. along with 300:100:100 kg ha-1 of N, P2O5 and K2O (125% RDF) and phosphorous supplied in the form of single super phosphate (SSP) resulted in significantly higher financial returns. In greengram, residue incorporated plots outperformed residue burning, removal and retention plots with 125% RDF in terms of nutrient uptake, as well as monetary returns like gross returns, net returns and B:C ratio. In a similar vein, yield in residue-incorporated plots was higher than it was in residue-removal and in-situ burning plots during summer, 2021 and 2022.
The Role of Financial Performance in Mediating Capital Structure, Ownership Structure on Dividend Policy
Authors: Fitriyah Fitriyah , Nadhiroh Umi , Restuningdiah Nurika
Published: August 2024

This research aims to examine how capital structure and ownership structure affect dividend policy, and to determine if financial performance plays a role in mediating this relationship. The study employs a quantitative methodology alongside an explanatory research technique. The object of this research is Consumer Non-Cyclical sector companies based on the IDX Industrial Classification (IDX-IC). A purposive sampling method was employed to acquire a sample of 28 firms. The technique for analyzing data is Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the software WarpPLS 8.0. The results showed that capital structure significantly negatively affects Consumer Non-Cyclical sector companies, with higher debt ratios resulting in lower dividends. Ownership structure also affects dividend policy, with greater share ownership by significant shareholders leading to higher dividends. Financial performance has an effect on dividend policy, suggesting that companies with stable profits have more resources to pay dividends to shareholders. Yet, the financial results cannot act as a mediator for the influence of capital and ownership setups on choices regarding dividends. Future studies need to include different industry sectors to assess uniformity among various economic sectors and address fluctuations in the broader economy.

Published: August 2024

PT. Pegadaian Kanwil I Medan acknowledges the importance of investing in employee development. However, despite these efforts, the company faces challenges with low employee retention rates and turnover rates exceeding acceptable levels. These issues adversely affect the company's performance and productivity. Ineffective training and inconsistent career development are identified as primary factors contributing to job dissatisfaction and low employee retention. Therefore, this study aims to explore how employee development experiences, specifically through training and career development, influence employee retention. Job satisfaction is examined as a mediator in this relationship. The research adopts a quantitative approach with a causal/correlational research design. A sample of 60 employees participated in the study, providing data through questionnaires. The analysis utilizes path analysis with Smart-PLS 3.0 software, focusing on evaluating both the measurement model and structural model. The findings reveal that training significantly enhances employee retention but does not significantly affect job satisfaction. Conversely, career development does not directly impact employee retention but significantly influences job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is found to mediate the relationship between career development and employee retention but does not mediate the relationship between training and employee retention. These findings underscore the critical role of training and career development in improving staff retention at PT. Pegadaian Kanwil I Medan. The study highlights the importance of enhancing training programs and emphasizing career development to boost employee satisfaction and retention.

This study proposes a complete framework to examine the relationship between customer perceived value of live streaming, customer trust, and engagement based on literature in retail, adoption behavior, and e-commerce. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a survey method that results in 200 samples that have been distributed in Indonesia. This research was analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results showed that customer trust related to utilitarian value has a positive effect on live streaming. However, on hedonic values, the role of live streaming on customer trust only affects product trust, not their trust in the seller. The results of research related to customer engagement found that the role of live streaming can create utilitarian value and hedonic value, thus impacting customer trust and generating customer engagement in the process. However, this customer engagement only has a significant impact on customer trust in the seller, not with customer trust in the product. Implications of the results of this study. The implication results of this study provide insight into how e-commerce sellers can implement live streaming technology that attracts and retains customers. In addition to the function of live streaming, sellers should carefully design the atmosphere so that customers feel the utilitarian and hedonic values of shopping through live streaming, and in turn can affect customer demand.

Why Plan Ahead? A Focus Group Investigation on Barriers in Advance Financial Care Planning
Authors: Zheng Mingyang , DeLiema Marguerite
Published: August 2024

Rates of advance financial care planning are low in the United States, increasing the risk of fraud, exploitation, financial mistakes, and loss of autonomy in later life. This study sought to identify older adults’ perceptions and experiences with advance financial care planning to inform ways to motivate planning behavior and communication around future money management. Four focus groups were conducted in Baltimore, Maryland, with African American, Hispanic, low-income, and low–middle-income adults aged 65 and older. Data were transcribed, analyzed, and coded thematically. Five themes were identified:dignity,privacy, andindependence;lack of knowledge/resources;prior experience;social influence; andfamily relationships. Findings suggest that older adults need education on advance financial care planning and that cultural differences affect motivation to plan. Financial advisors and other practitioners may leverage older adults’ core values around dignity and independence to promote advance financial care planning, appealing specifically to the desire to reduce burden on future decision-makers and strengthen family relationships.
Safety Is Just the First Step: Implementing a Holistic, Survivor-Centered Program Model for Rural Partner Abuse Survivors
Authors: Jordan Pamela , Yeager Jeanne , Callaway Carol , Aylward Jacob
Published: August 2024

When domestic violence first became recognized as a social problem, services (e.g., hotlines, medical accompaniment, and emergency shelters) focused largely on meeting victims’ needs during crisis. Research documenting the process survivors go through to end abusive relationships and to establish a new, safe life shows that the challenges they face go well beyond the initial crisis. In contrast to standard practices, the Chesapeake Crisis to Self-Sufficiency Model (CCSSM) provides a continuum of holistic, survivor-centered services to support the transition from crisis to self-sufficiency. Staff interviews reveal that the CCSSM grew out of recognizing clients’ needs postcrisis. Establishing service continuums in critical areas such as housing, legal assistance, and economic empowerment creates customizable pathways for clients to follow. Administrative data for 464 survivors receiving services under the traditional model and 607 served under the CCSSM show that the CCSSM cohort worked with the agency for significantly more months and received a broader array of services. These data suggest that the comprehensive service model provides survivors with much needed services beyond the initial crisis and may ultimately increase their chances of leaving an abusive relationship. Future research should explore if the CCSSM leads to increased survivor safety and movement toward self-sufficiency and if the model decreases the odds that survivors will return to an abusive partner.

Divorce can be detrimental to the psychological (Amato [2000],Journal of Marriage and Family,62(4), 1269–1287; [2010],Journal of Marriage and Family,72(3), 650–666) and physical health of many but not all (Sbarra & Coan [2017],Current Opinion in Psychology,13, 91–95). This review of 21 longitudinal studies is divided into two parts: individuals followed postdivorce/separation where there was no intimate partner violence (IPV) and where there was IPV. Given the past reviews of individuals followed postdivorce where IPV was not reported, this review focuses on individuals where there was IPV but also provides an update on the former results. Measures evaluating the impact of divorce or separation were dependent upon measures in the longitudinal studies, including evaluations of well-being, depression, and anxiety. When there was no IPV, variability in postdivorce well-being differed according to prior marital quality, with individuals in low-quality marriages experiencing relief postseparation/divorce. Lower income levels were associated with poorer well-being following divorce. For physically abused women, separation is often associated with continued abuse, but on average, the well-being of abused women increases across time, as abuse often declines. However, the worse the abuse prior to separation, the more likely the abuse continues, and in extreme cases, separation results in the homicide of abused individuals. Since IPV and intimate partner homicide are perpetrated disproportionately by Black men, there is a clear need for longitudinal research on intimate relationships with populations of color. A model predicting the mental health of individuals in preseparation IPV relationships is presented, which includes internalizing characteristics of the victim, preseparation abuse, contact with ex-partner, support variables, and beliefs in accord with separation being the right thing.
Men’s Experiences With Perinatal Loss: An Integrative Review
Authors: Burrow Rebecca
Published: August 2024

Introduction:Perinatal loss is a tremendous loss for many and can have consequences that affect physical and mental health. This topic has been substantially examined among women; however, men’s experiences with perinatal loss have lacked attention. Many men report significant grief, self-blame, stigma, loss of self-identity, lack of recognition of their loss, marginalization, and gendered expectations that negate their grieving process. This places men at risk for complicated or disenfranchised grief. Most studies examining perinatal loss have been conducted in countries outside of the United States and outside of the discipline of nursing. As nurses are concerned about holistic care of men and women, the findings resulting from studies with women and other cultural perspectives may not be generalizable to men in the United States.Purpose:The purpose of this integrative review was to examine the current state of science regarding men’s experiences with perinatal loss, what is known about this loss within the nursing discipline, to identify gaps in nursing knowledge, and to expose areas for further research.Method:Online databases including CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus were used to perform the initial search. The search terms included “men,” “perinatal loss,” “miscarriage,” “stillbirth,” and “grief.”Results:Themes were identified through a review of the literature that included that men experienced a loss of the role of fatherhood and identity. Additionally, men reported expectations about socially and gender-specific behavior that influenced their expressions of grief and their coping process. Finally, the lack of recognition of their loss as fathers in perinatal loss resulted in the marginalization and the use of avoidance and distraction to cope with the loss, as well as risks to the health of the partnered relationship.
An Optimal Strategy for Estimating Weibull distribution Parameters by Using Maximum Likelihood Method
Authors: Alharbi Talal , Hamad Farag
Published: August 2024

Several methods have been used to estimate the Weibull parameters such as least square method (LSM), weighted least square method (WLSM), method of moments (MOM), and maximum likelihood (MLE). The maximum likelihood method is the most popular method (MLE). Newton-Raphson method has been applied to solve the normal equations of MLE’s in order to estimate the Weibull parameters. The method was used to find the optimal values of the Weibull distribution parameters for which the log-likelihood function is maximized. We tried to find the approximation solution to the normal equations of the MLE’s because there is no close form for get analytical solution. In this work, we tried to carry out a study that show the difference between two strategies to solve the MLE equations using Newton-Raphson algorithm. Both two strategies are provided an optimal solution to estimate the Weibull distribution parameters but which one more easer and which one converges faster. Therefore, we applied both strategies to estimate the Weibull’s shape and scale parameters using two different types of data (Real and simulation). We compared between the results that we got by applying the two strategies. Two studies have been done for comparing and selecting the optimal strategy to estimate Weibull distribution parameters using maximum likelihood method. We used some measurements to compare between the results such as number of steps for convergence (convergence condition), the estimated values for AIC, BIC and the RMSE value. The results show the numerical solution that we got by applying first strategy convergence faster than the solution that we got by applying second strategy. Moreover, the MRSE estimated by applying the first strategy is lower than the MRSE estimated by applying second strategy for the simulation study with different noise levels and different samples size.
A novel technique for generating families of continuous distributions
Authors: Makubate Boikanyo , Musekwa Regent Retrospect
Published: August 2024

In this paper, we present the generalized flexible-G family for creating several continuous distributions. Our new technique features are that it adds only two extra shape parameters to any chosen continuous distribution and is not derived from any parent distribution that currently exists. Several special cases of this family are provided. The generalized flexible-G family offers significant improvements in flexibility, fit, and applicability across a wide range of fields. The family's model parameters are estimated using the maximum likelihood estimation method. A simulation study is conducted to assess the consistency of the maximum likelihood estimates. The generalized flexible log-logistic, a specific case of our novel family, is applied to both patient's analgesia and reliability data in order to illustrate the significance of the family. The generalized flexible log-logistic outperforms several competitive models provided in this paper. Furthermore, the generalized flexible log-logistic performs better than traditional distributions such as the BurrXII, Gumbel, and Weibull models.

The purpose of this work was to obtain experimental data on unsteady gas dynamics and the intensity of heat transfer of the flow in the exhaust system of an automobile piston engine for different initial conditions. The research was carried out on an experimental stand simulating the exhaust process in a piston engine in dynamics. The pressure at the outlet (in the cylinder) varied from 0.05 to 0.2 MPa, the speed of rotation of the crankshaft - from 600 to 3000 min-1. The method of thermal anemometry was used to determine the gas dynamic, flow and heat exchange characteristics of the flow in the exhaust system. Data on the instantaneous values of the velocity and local heat transfer of the flow in the exhaust system for different boundary conditions are presented in the article. The effect of the outlet pressure on the gas flow through the exhaust system and the level of heat transfer was analyzed. The spectral analysis of changes in the local flow velocity in the exhaust system is additionally presented in the article. The obtained patterns are useful in the applied aspect for clarifying engineering methods for calculating the exhaust system and for verifying mathematical models of gas exchange processes in automotive piston engines.

The problem of determining the arrival moments arrival of vehicles (V) at stopping points (SP) based on navigation data on the position and speed of movement has been considered. The precise definition of these points is key to obtaining an up-to-date matrix of interstop correspondence, which is necessary for planning the development of urban transport infrastructure. The development of algorithms for determining the time of arrival of T at the SP in real time has been analyzed. The authors have described the main drawback of the presented algorithms during failures of navigation systems. A method has been developed for estimating the arrival moments of T at the SP based on historical navigation data and up-to-date data on the position and speed of the vehicle both before and after arrival. The method takes into account possible failures in data transmission: it leads to the fact that there may be several SP between two known sequential positions of T. A rigorous theoretical and probabilistic justification of the developed method has been given and its advantages and limitations have been considered. In particular, the issue of the specifics of its validation and calibration has been discussed in detail. The results of the work can be useful for the management and planning of the development of the transport system.
