The Impacts of The Systematic, Idiosyncratic Risks and Market Sentiment on China A-Shares Performances
Authors: DA JIAQI , MD. NASSIR ANNUAR , HASHIM MOHD PADZIL , THENG LAU WEI
Published: September 2022

The purposes of this paper are (i) to examine 3 driving factors affecting China A-shares
market performance; namely systematic risk, idiosyncratic risk, and market sentiment, and (ii) to investigate the relationship between state-owned enterprise (SOE) & non-SOE and stock returns. In addition, the study also analyze normal condition and the impacts of Sino-US trade war and Covid-19 pandemic. This study employs monthly data which is
divided into two parts namely (i) 2004-2020 period and (ii) 2018-2020 period. Multiple
classic asset pricing models are employed to investigate the impacts of the 3 driving
factors on stock returns. The results showed that these 3 driving factors exert significant influence on China A-shares in 2004-2020, However, the impact of market sentiment is weak during the period 2018-2020. Furthermore, market risks, firm size and B/M factor show great impacts on both SOE and non-SOE, profitability factor affecting non-SOE stock return is more important than investment which improves SOE stock return. This study proposes that investors and companies pay more attention to systematic risk and idiosyncratic risk, which potentially have greater impact on the stock market and to reduce unnecessary economic losses.

Published: September 2022

The aim of study is to examine the impact of corporate sustainability (ESG) on the
financial performance for Malaysia and Indonesia. A sample was selected comprising of
36 companies listed in Bursa Malaysia and 24 companies listed in Indonesia Stock
Exchange over the ten-year period 2010-2019. Using fixed effect (FE) and pooled OLS
suggest that ESG practices are positively associated with financial performance. This
result implies that companies engaged in environmental, social and governance aspects
have a higher shareholder value. A good economy condition encouraged companies to
integrate ESG aspects and rewarded investors with good financial return (ROE).
Companies with lesser governance practice would increase shareholders value (ROE).
Essentially, this empirical evidence confirms stakeholder’s theory and agency theory. The
implication of this study is to strengthen the development of sustainability from ESG
practice and in line with current agenda of sustainable finance for the policymakers.
Indeed, this study encourages more potential investors to invest companies with ESG
practices.

This study aims to empirically examine the migrant food handlers’ perceived knowledge,
skills, and attitudes and their impact on food quality and safety in the context of
Malaysia’s foodservice industry. Using the data gathered from 198 supervisors and
managers from food premises in Malaysia and analysis using SPSS (version 20) and
SmartPLS 3.0 software, this research found that migrant food handlers have moderate
perceived knowledge, skills and attitudes in food handling practices impact the food
quality and safety. Specifically, this study confirmed that knowledge and attitudes
positively and significantly affect food quality and food safety. However, insignificant
results were found between skills and food safety, even though it showed a substantial
impact on food quality. The findings are original and unique. It is one of the first studies to investigate the knowledge, skills, and attitude of migrant food handlers their effect on food quality and food safety, especially in Malaysia. Besides, this study extends the established theories from the literature on knowledge, skills and attitudes analysing in the foodservice sector. Therefore, this research finding is valuable for food services practitioners to focus on enhancing food quality and safety through the migrant workforce.
The Effects of Credit Supply Shocks on Malaysia's Economy
Authors: AFHAM M. S. M. KHAIR- , ROSLAND ANITHA
Published: September 2022

This study has examined the impacts of credit supply shocks and other common economic shocks (aggregate demand & supply and monetary shocks) on Malaysia's macroeconomic variables, using the Bayesian structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model and employing sign restrictions. The results showed that an expansionary credit supply shock positively affected the Malaysian economy, consistent with the existing literature. Based on the variance decomposition finding, credit supply shocks explained a significant portion of the anticipated variation in the GDP growth, inflation, and, most importantly, credit growth in Malaysia. This study further decomposed total private non-financial corporate loans into two components: households and non-financial firms. Unlike other economies that have extensively researched this subject matter (US, UK, Euro Area), the growth rate of households and non-financial firms differed greatly in Malaysia. The empirical findings revealed considerable distinctions between these two components, indicating that different treatments or policy formulations are required rather than employing the same policy to boost or govern Malaysia's credit market.

Investigation of 6-Year Land Use Change of Sakarya River Around İnhisar (Bilecik) using Remote Sensing
Authors: GÜNEŞ Coşkun , UYGUÇGİL Hakan
Published: September 2022

İnhisar (Bilecik) is located in the center-east of the study area, which is bounded by Söğüt (Bilecik) in the southwest and Yenipazar (Bilecik) in the northeast. Sakarya River, located in the center of the study area, provides continuity in the East-West direction for approximately 40 km and is fed by drains from both the north and the south. Marble enterprises with economic value are widely observed in the region. In addition, it is very important for the natural environment to protect areas such as İnhisar waterfall and Harmankaya Canyon Nature Park in the region from harm that may be caused by human activities. The main purpose of the study is to examine the areas with natural structures that are important for the environment on a regional scale with data provided by earth observation satellites and to define the time-dependent changes of these areas. Landsat-8 satellite images, a 12.5m-resolution digital elevation model and geology map constitute the main data of the study. The results of the change analysis conducted on the Landsat images classified with the random forest algorithm are discussed on the geology and topography maps. When the 6-year change analysis findings are interpreted, it is suggested that the mining activities, which intensified especially around Gölpazarı, should not approach the Yenipazar-İnhisar line in the east.
Türkiye'de İpek Yolu Uzaktan Algılama İzleme ve Değerlendirme: Drone Sistemlerinin GPR ve RM ile Entegrasyonu
Authors: KILIÇ Gökhan
Published: September 2022

Maintaining a country’s heritage requires the implementation of appropriate methods, which enable the condition assessment of historic infrastructure with preferably zero damages/interventions and minimum post-inspections. A vast expanse of intricate land- and sea-route networks is known as the Silk Roads. They were crucial in bringing Eastern and Western cultures together. Additionally, it has been noted that major cities in Western Anatolia, such as Baghdad or Izmir, have been able to establish links because to their advantageous position. Non-Destructive Techniques (NDT) can meet such criteria, while they are also time and cost-efficient. This paper recommends the combined use of several techniques to maximize information range and accuracy. More specifically, High Definition and Infrared Thermography (IRT) drone systems to assess sub-surface state and detect external heritage defects, and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Resistivity Measurement (RM) for detecting internal defects. By accumulating suitable data from heritage structures along the Silk Road in Turkey, this study presents a comprehensive approach that can accurately identify surficial and internal defects, in terms of their location and size.
Google Earth Engine Üzerinde Sentinel-2 Görüntülerinin Arazi Örtüsü Haritalama Doğruluğunun İyileştirilmesi
Authors: ŞERİFOĞLU YILMAZ Çiğdem
Published: September 2022

Accurate land cover information is necessary for successful monitoring, planning and management of the land cover features. Thanks to free-access satellite images, studies have focused on the creation of more accurate thematic maps, which have been used as a base data in many applications. The cloud-based Google Earth Engine (GEE) service makes it easier to access, store and process these satellite images. This study aims to improve the accuracy of a land cover map produced with the Sentinel-2 satellite image. For this purpose, as the very first step, study site was classified using only traditional bands of the Sentinel-2 data. To improve the classification accuracy, Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) World 3D data, various spectral indices and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) features were added to the traditional bands of the Sentinel-2 data, leading to a multi-source classification process. In this study, where the city center of Trabzon was selected as the study area, the accuracy of the land cover map produced using the Random Forest (RF) classification algorithm was increased from 83.51% to 92.78% with the auxiliary data used.

Mapping and analysing medieval built form using GPS and GIS
Authors: Lilley Keith , Lloyd Chris , Trick Steven , Graham Conor
Published: September 2022

Drawing upon recent research experiences of using a Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS), this paper sets out how spatial technologies can be used in the study of medieval built form. The paper focuses particularly on the use of differential GPS and ArcGIS in mapping and analysing the plan of Winchelsea, an English medieval 'new town' established in the 1280s. The approach used to conduct this research is outlined here, with comments on the practicalities of using GPS and GIS in historical urban morphology. Although the research on which this paper is based is at a preliminary stage, the paper offers a working method for those interested in using spatial technologies to build upon existing methods of morphological study, namely town-plan analysis and metrological analysis. Some preliminary research findings relating to the planning of medieval Winchelsea are also presented.

Conceptualizing the social construction of urban and architectural forms through the typological process
Authors: Gauthier Pierre
Published: September 2022

Process typology theory has proven extremely beneficial in providing refined depictions of the complex structure of the built environment and in proposing challenging intrinsic morphological explanations of processes of 'structuration' as opposed to the external explanations emphasized by other theoretical perspectives. Thus far, typologists have concentrated essentially on environments that are many centuries old. Yet, tumultuous historical and morphological conditions that have arisen more recently challenge the idea of focusing exclusively on internal factors for morphogenetic explanations. This paper discusses the central notions of type and typological process in relation to the action of agents in such a process in order to integrate the role of social 'demands' in urban morphology.
Assessing urban character: the use of fractal analysis of street edges
Authors: Cooper Jon
Published: September 2022

Fractal analysis can provide a synthetic measurement of place complexity and thereby allow a numerical characterization of places. A fractal analysis of street edges is provided, linking the calculation of fractal dimension to the presence of the physical features making up a street edge. A technique for calculating street edge fractal dimensions is presented and speculation on the use of fractal analysis in comparing the character of differing places is made.
Post-war new town 'models': a European comparison
Authors: Hall Thomas
Published: September 2022

Stevenage, Tapiola (Hagalund) and Vällingby were the first exponents of the new town concept in Britain, Finland and Sweden respectively, attracting attention not only within their home countries but also widely in Europe. In all three places, general plans were finalized around 1950, testing the latest ideas B such as neighbourhood units, the Radburn concept and community centres. The towns were to be organized in cohesive neighbour-hood areas, each with its own identity and its own community centre. The three towns differ in their morphological character. In Tapiola the scale is modest but the variation all the greater. In Stevenage the single-family house predominates, while in Tapiola there is a mixture of house types. Vällingby is dominated by blocks of flats, though there are also row houses and detached houses. In all three towns resources and interest were invested in achieving a modern main centre, which included cultural and social activities as well as commercial ones. Each town epitomized a new, brighter future, perhaps reflecting an optimism that was stronger in Scandinavia and Britain than elsewhere. The firm faith that characterized the drive to build the three new towns may seem slightly naive from today=s point of view. Yet it is clear that we can learn a lot from the enthusiasm and fighting spirit of the 1950s, the social commitment, and the desire to create good housing, preferably with ample outdoor environments, affordable to broad groups of citizens.

Authors: Chaula Linus , Lawrent Godlove , Iramba Iramba Freddie Warioba
Published: September 2022

Clinical supervision is one of the best supervisory models that is user - friendly to school heads in supervising teachers’ professional practices. This paper examined teachers’ perception of school heads’ teaching and learning post - observation practices in improving teaching professional relations in public secondary schools in Tanzania. A mixed-methods and case research was conducted in Njombe Region, Tanzania. The study employed 122 respondents, whereby, 94 filled in the questionnaires and 28 participated in the semi - structured interviews and FGDs. The SPSS version 25 aided the analysis of quantitative data and qualitative data on the other hand were analysed through content analysis. The results show that 57.4% (n=70) of participants were male, of which 95.7% (n = 67) were teachers and  4.3% (n = 3) school heads. There were 42.6% (n = 52) of participants were female, of which 98.0% (n = 51) teachers and 2.0% (n = 1) school heads. There were 86.1% (n = 105) of participants with ages ranging from 25 and 50 years. Teachers positively perceived school heads’ post - observation practices (p < 0.05). However, unlike students, no statistical significant difference was observed in teachers’ working experiences regarding teachers' teaching profession relationships among themselves and school heads. It is concluded that school heads’ post - observation practices improve teachers’ professional relationships and could be practiced in supervising teachers in Tanzanian public secondary schools. Post - observation practices of school heads impart professional relationship skills to teachers. Teachers with professional relationship skills motivate students to participatory teaching and learning practice that contribute for an academic achievement.
Mepivacaine Versus Bupivacaine for Patients Undergoing Total Joint Arthroplasty
Authors: Hill Shannon , Severn Melissa , Spry Carolyn
Published: September 2022

Mepivacaine was found to have statistically significantly better results than bupivacaine for various specific measurements related to neurologic symptoms, mobility, length of stay, urinary retention, and adverse events and safety; however, for the overall evidence, the difference in outcomes between the 2 did not consistently reach the level of statistical significance.

The overall evidence for postoperative pain largely found no statistically significant difference between mepivacaine and bupivacaine, except for proportion of postoperative zero pain, where mepivacaine resulted in a statistically greater proportion of patients reporting zero pain postoperatively than bupivacaine.

Evidence was only identified for individuals who received either total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty, and thus the findings presented in this report may not be generalizable to other total joint reconstruction or replacement surgeries.

No evidence was identified regarding the cost-effectiveness or evidence-based guidelines for the use of mepivacaine versus bupivacaine for total joint arthroplasty.

Published: September 2022

Purpose: Wound healing is a set of mechanisms that are activated to restore structurally damaged tissue. There are many studies aimed at accelerating wound healing. In this context, products obtained from plants come to the fore. In this article, the effects of wheat germ oil (WGO), which is known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, on wound healing were investigated by in vitro method.

Material and Methods: Wheat germ oil and α-tocopherol were applied to L929, a healthy fibroblast cell line, at different doses for 24, 48 and 72 hours. Cell viability was measured by XTT colorimetric method. In vitro wound healing model was applied at the dose where the oil was effective. Obtained results were analyzed statistically.

Results: As a result of the application of α-tocopherol to L929 cells at different doses, it was observed that there was no significant contribution to cell proliferation compared to the control group. However, WGO was observed to significantly increase proliferation at the 100 ng/ml concentration. In the wound healing model, cells treated with WGO at 48 hours were observed to proliferate faster and invade the wound site more rapidly. (p

Authors: Okoye Felix , Pillay Semira
Published: September 2022

This qualitative study examines the experiences of undergraduate students at the University of The Free State to ascertain ICT teaching-learning challenges resulting from the abrupt switch to e-learning in developing countries vis-à-vis the effects of social development lacuna. The finding revealed a lack of learning devices by some students, internet connectivity issues, high data cost, need to upgrade the technological knowhow of education participants, limited classroom engagements due to large classes, and a lack of foundational social development facilities that can augment smooth transition into the post-pandemic predictable future of education. The study recommends that (1) disadvantaged background students lacking learning devices be assisted; (2) the University continue to strengthen blended learning; ICT upskilling for the students and staff; increase investment in ICT and maintain continuous training to improve staff’s technological skills; (3) reduce large class sizes; and (4) indulge in more collaboration towards solving the problems of resource constraints. The also recommends that the mental health of students be monitored frequently given the pressure of enduring hectic COVID-19-induced challenges relating to the abrupt switch to e-learning. The study anticipates setbacks regarding the use of ICT in teaching and learning going into the post-pandemic. It, therefore, recommends an upgrade of social development, especially in the area of ICT infrastructure and digitalisation in developing nations.

Planet earth is currently faced with various environmental problems that are worrisome and threaten business sustainability. The manufacturing sector needs to take better and more consistent responsibility in mitigating this problem. Not only large industries, but also small industries that are widely cultivated such as MSMEs. The application of green management (GM) is an alternative to embrace sustainability. GM can use a variety of techniques that have an impact on reducing waste and environmental pollution. However, MSMEs face obstacles based on management functions, professionalism, and knowledge in implementing GM practices. The purpose of this research is to understand the main drivers for MSME Industry, in implementing Green Management in Banda Aceh City. The perception data of 60 MSME actors taken randomly was used in this study. The ranking of driving factors uses the Fuzzy TOPSIS method which is one of the Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. This study found that the five main drivers of GM implementation are increasing competitiveness (driver 1), incentives provided by the government (driver 2), law enforcement (driver 3), commitment from top management (driver 4), product distribution (driver 5). Employee awareness/motivation, customer demand, pressure from local community, environmental knowledge/technology, raw material sourcing, cost savings, financial resources, efficiency and pressure from business trade associations.
Reorganizing Punjab on Administrative Lines: Potentials and Challenges
Authors: Akhtar Nasreen x
Published: September 2022

Pakistan is a federal state, but it has not developed the factual strength of federalism as it is observed in the developed federal states. Pakistan is a polarized state its society is divided ethnically-Punjabi, Sindhi, Balochi and Pashtuns. All communities have been raising their voices for the distribution of fair resources. Pakistan, as a federal state, has not been able to provide equal economic dividends to its people neither ensured good governance owning to overpopulated provinces that have poor infrastructure and dominated by the feudal mindset. Provincial governments also have been inefficient in curbing the social and economic disparity–South Punjab reflects a picture of bad governance. South Punjab contributes economically, politically and to uplift the whole Pakistan, but the South Punjab remains ignored by the top political and bureaucratic establishment which is increasing the sense of exploitation among the people of Southern Punjab. The new province should be created to provide the administrative balance between the new and old Punjab which is lacking for decades. This administrative balance would [then] change the fate of the neglected region and its people.

Authors: Anjaneyulu Kammineni , Bathala Naga Srilatha
Published: September 2022

Introduction: The prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency is reported worldwide, both in sunshine deficient and sunshine sufficient countries. Vitamin D deficiency association with metabolic, autoimmune and infectious comorbidities has been extensively studied. The best indicator of human body’s vitamin D status is the concentration of serum 25(OH) D.
Aims and objectives: 1. To know the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency. 2. To know Vitamin D levels among different age groups.
Materials and methods: The study center is located at latitude of 14° 47' N longitude of 78° 80' E. This hospital based study was undertaken in the month of July 2022. Vitamin D levels of 436 patients, who attended medical outpatient department, FIMS, Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh for a period of 6 months from January 2022 to June 2022 were collected and entered in an excel sheet and the data was analyzed.
Results: Among the total 436 patients 162 were males and 274 were females. Mean age and serum 25(OH) D of male patients was 42.98 years and 56.74 nmol/L where as in females these were 40.67 years and 47.84 nmol/L respectively. In both genders the mean age of deficient patients was around 32 years. Among 436 patients 44.49% were 25(OH) D deficient; 39.91% were insufficient and only 15.6% were having normal serum levels of 25(OH) D. Around 50% of deficient patients belong to age group of 21-40 years.
Conclusions: Though India is located in area getting abundant sunshine, the individuals with normal level of Vitamin D levels were very less when compare to deficient and insufficient patients. The most common age group with deficiency were between 21-40 years. Females were more deficient and insufficient levels of Vitamin D.

Published: September 2022

Academic performance is an essential component of the constellation of factors that determine student success. It also plays a vital role in education, primarily as a concrete tool for evaluating the learning process of a student. Psychologists and researchers have utilized a variety of personality, attitude, cognitive style, and ability assessments to determine how students differ in processing, retaining, and retrieving learning information. Academic success is dependent on a positive learning experience. To achieve their learning goals, students regularly engage in activities such as reading, taking notes, and leading study groups. It can be categorized as either effective or ineffective based on the extent to which it assists the students. Thus, study habits provide dedicated and uninterrupted time for the pursuit of knowledge [1]. This determines the academic success of a student.
Among the most important criteria for evaluating academic performance are study habits and attitudes. Good study habits are important in the lives of students [2]. They concluded that each student's success or failure is contingent on their study habits. Additionally, their success is contingent upon their skill, intelligence, and effort. There is a significant positive correlation between the students' good study habits, including homework completion, class participation, time management, concentration, and effort, and their academic performance [3].
Online instruction, correspondence courses, television, and the multimedia package format are all viable methods of education. Frequently, students enrolled in distance education programs face unforeseen increases in responsibilities and physiological, emotional, psychological, and social concerns.
Because they lack the support of an immediate peer group, an instructor, or experience with the technology used to supply distance learning materials, online learning students, particularly novices, may find it difficult to comprehend the requirements of university study. According to surveys, individuals who are doubtful of their learning capacity choose to memorize information to finish projects and pass tests now that distant learning and remote teaching have become the standard. Students often have poor academic achievement due to their inability to comprehend the topic.
Additionally, study habits add to the efficacy of this distant learning. To design a learning policy, the researchers propose determining the study habits of student nurses to reflect the lived experiences of PHINMA University of Pangasinan Nursing students in distant learning under the new norm. By doing so, we may develop a more effective plan, identify the students' study habits that influence their academic performance, and design activities that assist them to become more academically prepared.
