Assessment of Immunoexpression of Ki-67 and CD 105 in Oral Pyogenic Granuloma
Authors: Salman Abeer Salah , Jawad Mustafa Hadi , Raheem Noor Natik
Published: July 2023

Background: Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is one of the most prevalent tumor-like lesions in the mouth, with two distinct histological variants: Non-Lobular Capillary Hemangioma (NLCH) and Lobular Capillary Hemangioma (LCH). This study aims to evaluate and compare the immunohistochemical expression of Ki-67 (proliferative activity) and CD 105 (angiogenic activity) in both types to find the conflict between the two.

Methods: Data from clinical information and microscopic findings were collected. The selection criteria, including sufficient tissue, minor bleeding and/or inflammation, and proper fixation, were used to examine 24 cases of PG (10 LCH, 14 NLCH) that performed hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and immunostaining of anti-Ki-67 antibodies and anti-CD105 antibodies.

Results: Our study showed female predilection, as 66.7% of cases were female (10 cases in LCH and 6 cases in NLCH). The mean patient age was 32.71%±15.35 years. LCH type of PG showed moderate positive expression of Ki-67 in 9 cases (64.3%); only two cases (14.3%) had a negative expression, while in 6 cases (60%) of NLCH, mild positive expression was seen, and in 4 cases (40%) it was moderate. The average number of blood vessels measured in LCH and NLCH samples treated with the anti-CD105 antibody was (72.7857±39.21479) and (47.1600±30.02855) respectively, with no significant difference between the two types of PG for both markers.

Conclusions: The results of the present study confirm that there are no differences between the LCH and NLCH types of PG in proliferative rate and angiogenesis activity, so both types seem to have the same biological behavior.

The Role of Destination Image in Influencing Tourist Behaviors and Experiences: A Comparative Study of the Greek Islands versus Mainland Destinations
Authors:   University of the Aegean, Homer Nikos L.
Published: July 2023

This research delved into the significance of destination image in shaping tourist behaviors and experiences, through a comparative study between the Greek Islands and mainland destinations. Previous literature provided substantial groundwork for understanding the concept of destination image and its correlation with tourist behavior. A comprehensive review of numerous scholarly articles, journals, and books was undertaken to identify the core elements contributing to destination image, such as natural resources, cultural heritage, hospitality, and tourist facilities. The study highlighted the crucial role of destination image as a determinant of tourist satisfaction, which, in turn, influenced behavioral intentions like word-of-mouth promotion and revisits. The analysis was bifurcated into two sections, representing the Greek Islands and the mainland, with each section examining distinct aspects of these diverse environments. Findings from the literature revealed a more romantic and adventurous image associated with the Greek Islands, rooted in their unique cultural attributes, beautiful landscapes, and laid-back lifestyle. This image was found to stimulate tourist activities related to relaxation, exploration, and cultural immersion. In contrast, mainland Greece, rich in history, architecture, and tradition, was perceived as more educational and historical. Tourists here were likely to engage in activities like museum visits, city tours, and archaeological explorations. Discrepancies in tourist behaviors and experiences in the two regions underlined the powerful influence of destination image. While both regions attracted tourists, their behaviors and experiences differed based on the respective destination images. This research has filled an academic gap by providing a comparative analysis of tourist behaviors and experiences influenced by the destination image between the Greek Islands and mainland Greece. It also offers practical insights to tourism planners and marketers in these regions, emphasizing the need for destination marketing strategies that accurately reflect and capitalize on their distinct destination images. Keywords: Destination Image, Tourist Behaviors, Tourist Experiences, Greek Islands Tourism, Mainland Greece Tourism
Eco-Trekking in Southeast Asia: A Comparative Study of Sustainable Practices in Mountain Tourism
Authors:   Chiang Mai University, Boonyasurat Puwadej Y.
Published: July 2023

This research investigated eco-trekking in Southeast Asia with a comparative analysis of sustainable practices in mountain tourism. Existing literature and case studies across various countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia, served as the primary sources for the evaluation of different practices. The core components of the study were understanding the impact of eco-trekking on local communities, economies, and the environment, and the sustainability of these practices. The research found a range of approaches to eco-trekking across Southeast Asia. For instance, in Vietnam, community-based eco-trekking initiatives emerged as a significant driving force for sustainable local economic development. These initiatives were also critical in preserving local ethnic cultures and traditions. In contrast, Thailand and Malaysia showcased more top-down, government-led eco-trekking practices that concentrated on environmental conservation and maintaining a balance between tourism and nature. The study also identified common challenges, such as managing visitor impacts, maintaining the quality of trekking experiences, and the need for increased local community involvement. Furthermore, the research emphasized the importance of cross-border learning and the potential for sharing best practices among countries in the region. In conclusion, the research demonstrated that while eco-trekking practices varied across countries, they all played a crucial role in promoting sustainable mountain tourism. The study highlighted the need for a more integrated, cooperative approach among Southeast Asian countries to share lessons and jointly tackle common challenges. These findings can inform policy-making and planning for sustainable mountain tourism in Southeast Asia and other similar regions globally. Future research directions may include examining the effects of recent global trends, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on eco-trekking and sustainable tourism practices in the region. Keywords: Eco-Trekking, Sustainable Practices, Mountain Tourism, Southeast Asia, Environmental Conservation, Adventure Travel Sustainability.
Non-Financial Disclosure Policies and Their Influence on the Investor Behavior in NYSE-Listed Financial Firms
Authors:   University of Pennsylvania (Wharton School), Franklin Naom G.
Published: July 2023

A country’s accounting and disclosure system is part of its financial system and more generally its institutional infrastructure. Economic theory suggests that, in well-functioning economies, the elements of the institutional infrastructure evolve to fit and reinforce each other. Thus, the accounting system is likely to be geared towards the informational and contracting needs of the key parties in the economy. Due to the existence of private information channels, financial statements are less important in terms of monitoring economic performance and assume other roles, such as determining dividends. However, for this reason, arm’s length or outside investors relying primarily on public disclosures are not as well informed in the German system as they are in Anglo-American economies. Since 2005, listed German groups have been required to prepare their consolidated accounts under International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRSs. The study was a literature based which sought to empirically assess the effect of voluntary non-financial disclosure on performance of financial firms listed on NYSE, United States. The study established that Non-financial reporting by German companies has long been a voluntary matter. As of fiscal year 2017, the CSR Directive Implementation Act makes it mandatory for some 500 large German companies. Non-financial reporting by German companies has long been a voluntary matter. Since the early 2000s, German companies have published non-financial information mostly as CSR or sustainability reports. Publishing comprehensive non-financial information will be mandatory as of fiscal year 2017 for some large German companies as a result of the CSR Directive Implementation Act. The CSR Directive Implementation Act obliges large companies of public interest, in particular, capital market-oriented companies, credit institutions, and insurance companies to publish non-financial information. The study concluded that since stock volatility is linked to information asymmetries and to a higher risk of a company, this analysis implies certain practical implications for both managers and regulators regarding the importance of specific disclosure strategy in capital markets. The study also concluded that the level of disclosed information, the interpretation and the effectiveness of forward-looking information depends on the reputation of a company. Companies disclosing nonfinancial information through sustainability reporting practices provide markets with data on their social, environmental, and governance performance. The study recommended that there is need to have a proper execution of regulatory framework which in turn increases the proper governance disclosures leading to an effective management system. Keywords: Voluntary, non-financial disclosure, performance, financial firms, listed NYSE, United States.
STUDY OF THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A DRESSING USING POLYVINYLPYRROLIDONE, ETHANOL, AND ALOE VERA BY ELECTROSPINNING

The work aimed to develop a dressing for wound treatment using the polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone, ethanol, and crushed leaves of the medicinal plant Aloe vera, produced by the electrospinning method. Six samples were produced and observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The percentage distribution of fiber diameters was analyzed, and it was observed that increasing the mass of Aloe vera leaves in the solution tends to favor this distribution and increase the fiber diameter. The infrared spectra indicated the presence of the alcohol function, a six-atom ring of the vinyl group, and vinyl ethers. It was found that the addition of Aloe vera may lead to the exclusion of the alkene function in the samples. There was a similarity in the infrared line shapes for all the samples.
The Health of Coal Miners’ Wives: A Historical Analysis
Authors: Yates Chloe A. , Sorensen Amy
Published: July 2023

Existing coal mining health literature has not adequately addressed the health of women and girls who reside (and perform reproductive labor) within the households of male coal miners exposed to coal dust and other coal toxins. This study compares archival data on the health at the time of death for coal miners’ wives and non-coal miners’ wives to determine if there are statistical differences between these groups of women. Findings indicate that there is a statistical difference between these groups of women in age at death, with wives of miners dying 7 years earlier, on average. It also indicates that women providing reproductive labor within a mining household are at a higher risk of particular health conditions—some that have been acknowledged in the existing literature and some that have not. These findings are especially important given the deadly resurgence of black lung in Appalachia.
Fotodocumentalismo y memoria queer/cuir en México. Disputas por lo visible y encuadres escriturarios desde las disidencias sexogenéricas
Authors: Rodríguez-Blanco Sergio
Published: July 2023

Este artículo propone un modelo teórico-metodológico de análisis para estudiar las formas en que la fotografía documenta las disputas por lo visible desde las disidencias sexogenéricas y los cuerpos no hegemónicos, a partir de un cruce entre la política de la mirada de Mieke Bal (2016), los encuadres escriturarios de Alejandra Castillo (2020) y la fotografía como rito de Susan Sontag (2006). Para ello, se analiza la serie Mientras el león duerme (2017-2019) del fotógrafo mexicano Armando Belsoj (Tepic, Nayarit, 1989), que documenta performances semiclandestinas nocturnas dirigidas al colectivo LGBTIQ+ en la conservadora ciudad de León. El artículo analiza la potencia política de las imágenes para activar la memoria queer/cuir (DUNN, 2021; VILLAPLANA LUIZ et al., 2017) y generar nuevos encuadres escriturarios (CASTILLO, 2020).
Do exchange rate and inflation matters to Nigerian economy?New evidence from vector autoregressive (VAR) approach
Authors:   Department of Economics, Faculty of Social and Management Science, Adamawa State University, Mubi, Nigeria, Usman Mohammed A. M.
Published: July 2023

Currency fluctuations and inflation are the natural norm for most major economies. Numerous factors influenceeconomic growth, including a country’s exchange rate system performance, the outlook for inflation, and interestrate differentials. These are the most significant factors that hinder the economic growth of every nation. As aresult, this analysis investigates the impact of exchange rate and inflation on Nigeria’s growth performance from1986 to 2021. Impulse response and variance decomposition were estimated. The real gross domestic product(RGDP) was used as a proxy for growth performance, while the inflation rate (IFNR), real exchange rate (REXR),and interest rate (INTR) were also used as proxies. The results of impulse response and variance decompositionestimates in the short-run (third quarter) and long-run (tenth quarter) show that real exchange rate D(REXR), INTR,and IFNR all have a positive impact on RGDP variation, with values of 13.38, 31.88, and 22.40%, respectively,in the third quarter. In the long run (the 10th quarter), REXR contributed approximately 28.76% of the variationin RGDP. The interest rate contributed 24.14%, while the IFNR has contributed about 28.27% of the variation inRGDP in the long run. Therefore, summing the contributions of REXR, INTR, and INFR to RGDP, these variablescontributed about 81.17% of the variation in RGDP in the long run. Hence, the research concluded that REXR,INTR, and IFNR have a positive effect on growth performance as proxied by RGDP in Nigeria within the periodof the research. The research recommended that the government should provide a policy that will reduce theexcess growth of aggregate demand (AD) in the economy, which will reduce inflationary pressure, in order toachieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of 2030 in Nigeria, which include restoring economic growthand macroeconomic stability through macroeconomic variables such as the exchange rate, inflation, and othersignificant variables.

Published: July 2023

The study looked at how Nigerian-listed insurance companies performed in terms of enterprise risk management(ERM). An ex post facto research design was used in the study. According to Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) data, asof December 30, 2021, there were 23 insurance businesses listed on the Exchange (NSE). Ten Nigerian insurancefirms made up the sample size. In choosing the selected firms, we used the convenience sampling approach. Thesample firms’ financial statements and annual reports were used to collect data for the study. The statutory auditof the financial accounts served as the foundation for validity and reliability. Inferential (multiple regressions) anddescriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. According to the findings, ERM has no significant impact onthe earnings per share, return on assets, or return on equity of Nigerian-listed insurance companies. According tothe study’s findings, ERM has little or no financial impact on Nigeria’s listed insurance businesses. The researchproposed that risk committee meetings be held regularly in order to improve performance and that members of thecommittee should be proficient in managing risk-related issues. It also suggested that the committee be allowedto operate independently.

It is recommended to foresee the warning signs and predict business failures to avoid company-specific catastrophes. Numerous predictive models were developed over the last six to seven decades, and among many, Altman’s Z-score model is considered one of the highly reliable models in predicting business failure. The purpose of the research is to find out the financial performance of the companies selected for the study and to identify whether business failure can be predicted in advance to manage future risks. This paper considers Altman’s Z-score model that is used to predict business failures of public companies. A total of 10 hospitality organizations listed in the National Stock Exchange of India are considered for the study. The study analyzes the 5-year financial data from the 2018 to 2022 period. The study reveals that hospitality companies in India are undergoing a difficult phase post-pandemic. Nine out of ten companies selected for the study showed signs of bankruptcy as Altman’s Z-score of companies considered for the study is lower than 1.8 which is in the distress zone.
A PRIVACIDADE NO ORDENAMENTO JURÍDICO BRASILEIRO: UMA ANÁLISE ACERCA DA NECESSIDADE DE INGERÊNCIA DO DIREITO PENAL E O CONFLITO COM A LIBERDADE DE EXPRESSÃO
Authors: De Souza Junior Adalberto Ferreira , Perez Giovanna Torres

A privacidade é direito fundamental de todos os cidadãos, razão pela qual sua proteção encontra fundamento desde a Convenção Americana dos Direitos Humanos até a legislação infraconstitucional. Vários são os ramos de proteção desse direito da personalidade, desde a seara cível até a seara criminal, passando inclusive pelo ramo das sanções administrativas. Quanto ao direito penal, muito se discute acerca da necessidade de sua intervenção, considerado o direito repressivo como a ultima ratio. Contudo, algumas disposições, com o desiderato de tutelar amplamente a privacidade (em todas as suas esferas), criaram tipos penais específicos para cada um dos “círculos concêntricos”, como o é o caso, por exemplo, do novel artigo 147-A, do Código Penal Brasileiro. Nesse contexto da preservação da privacidade, a mídia, instituição que representa o direito constitucional à liberdade de expressão, tem exercido importante papel na divulgação de dados referentes a processos penais, especificamente. Questiona-se se não há abuso por parte do direito à liberdade de expressão quando a transmissão de informações, ultrapassando a simples comunicação e chegando ao público carregada de valoração, o que pode, inclusive, prejudicar o andamento regular da marcha processual e até mesmo a isenção/imparcialidade dos sujeitos processuais.

As plantas daninhas são motivo de preocupação aos agricultores, pois infestam áreas agrícolas e podem causar grandes prejuízos, por demandarem gastos com métodos de controle, além de poderem prejudicar a produção. Estudar o crescimento desse tipo de planta permite o conhecimento em relação seu comportamento no ambiente em que se desenvolve e pode auxiliar no desenvolvimento de formas adequadas e sustentáveis de manejo. Neste sentido os modelos não lineares Logístico e von Bertalanffy foram ajustados, por meio do software R, para as variáveis massa seca nos ramos e massa seca total das espécies Amaranthus retroflexus e Amaranthus hybridus, as avaliações foram aos 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 dias após a semeadura. Avaliou-se qual é o melhor modelo para descrever o crescimento das espécies. Os dois modelos se ajustaram adequadamente aos dados, porém de acordo com os avaliadores de qualidade utilizados, o modelo Logístico apresentou-se melhor para as duas espécies. Para a massa seca nos ramos os parâmetros dos modelos não diferiram. Em relação a massa seca total a espécie A. retroflexus apresentou ponto de inflexão anterior. A espécie A. hybridus apresentou maior acúmulo de massa seca total.

Pelos resultados, foi constatado que após o início da pandemia, o setor de saúde com empresas listadas na B3 apresentou uma diminuição da capacidade de arcar com suas obrigações, diminuição da eficiência e rentabilidade, aumento do endividamento e dependência do capital de terceiros e for fim, diminuição de capacidade de gerar receita e lucro com base nas suas margens calculadas.
Lean Manufacturing Implementation to Reduce Rejecton Part Step Floor with DMAIC and FMEA approach
Authors: Kholil Muhammad
Published: July 2023

In this study, the problem is focused on the Cikarangplant, especially department warehouse 5 which is currently producing a new variant, the K2FA type. Because the mass production time for the K2FA type has not been running for a long time, there are still many adjustments that need to be made in the work process in order to create good effectiveness and efficiency. This has not been reflected in one of the supply processes, namely the preparation of the plastic eating step floor, because it was found that there was an additional process, namely the unpacking process and the new preparation train handling facilities which were considered inadequate, causing problems for manpower in the area. This problem begins with the high number of reject parts that reach a total of 11.5% percent in 5 months, therefore the potential for existing rejects must be identified in order to minimize the causes of waste as the goal of this study. The analysis phase is carried out using the DMAIC method (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control), and use FMEA improvement analysis (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis). The results of this study are expected to be suggestions for minimizing waste.
Kaspar Lutz a jeho dielo Geistliche Apotheck z fondu františkánskych knižníc

The epidemic has currently surprised us all and has also caught us unprepared. It was no different in the past. People died of various diseases and did not know how to react. Some of them ran away, thinking that they would avoid similar diseases. Others stayed and cared for their loved ones and relatives. However, which decision was the right one? This and other questions were answered by Kaspar Lutz, whose interesting work Geistliche Apotheck is in the collection of the Slovak National Library. As it was written in German, it was intended for the general public. The work dealt primarily with the causes of the plague, of which God's punishment for human sins came first. In 12 chapters, the author discussed the problems related to the plague, which affected the majority of the population. These are questions of a primarily spiritual nature. Nevertheless, this aspect of life has been and is still needed for people today. Although doctors most often wrote these works, they often ultimately recommended prayers to avert the plague.
Between Emotions and Realism: Two Faces of Turkish Foreign Policy in the Balkans
Authors:   Srdjan Hercigonja, Vuksanović Vuk
Published: July 2023

Turkey’s more assertive posture towards the Balkans is neglected compared to the commentariat that deals with Russia and China. To fill this policy gap, the research team of the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) has conducted research based on the analysis of secondary source material and, even more importantly, on fieldwork interviews that involved 16 sources, academics and think tank researchers based in Istanbul and Ankara. Although the consulted sources have different backgrounds and political sympathies, the research established a presence of common themes. Namely, Turkish foreign policy in the Balkans has two aspects. The first is based on emotions, where Turkish foreign policy towards the region is framed by Turkey’s special ties with the region based on shared history, social connections, identity factors and the legacy of the Ottoman Empire. The Balkan country that is most frequently mentioned in the context of special ties with Turkey is Bosnia and Herzegovina, in light of socio-cultural ties and the fact that it is a country in which the Ottoman legacy is felt most strongly. The second approach is rooted in traditional foreign policy realism derived from an objective and calculated assessment of the regional balance of power and one’s own interests. Within this approach, Turkey is trying, for security and strategic reasons, to act pragmatically and be effective in the Balkans without entangling itself in crises that could impede its regional influence. This approach leads Turkey towards engaging Serbia, the region’s strategically consequential country, because Ankara is deeply convinced that if it wishes to be effective in the Balkans, it needs to have a partnership with Belgrade. In doing so, it must strike a balance between emotions and realism. It needs to walk the fine line between nurturing ties with communities with which it has cultural and religious ties, like Bosniaks and Albanians, while avoiding alienating countries whose partnership Ankara needs to be able to succeed in the Balkans, such as Serbia.

Differences in public attitudes towards the environment and climate in the Netherlands

People differ greatly in their attitudes towards environmental issues and climate change. To better engage the various groups within society in environmental and climate policy, it is important to understand the differences between them and to take these differences into account in the design of and communication around environmental policies. Using a Latent Class Analysis, data was drawn from the Dutch Longitudinal Internet Studies for the Social Sciences and, in particular, from the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency’s 2020 survey De balans voor de leefomgeving. That data was used to identify five different groups representing five different public attitudes towards the living environment: problem-deniers, those scarcely involved, those locally involved, those passively involved and those actively involved. There are at least three lessons that those who communicate about environmental policy can learn from this: (1) pay attention to differences in information needs, (2) link environmental issues to people’s perceptions of their immediate living environment, and (3) pay attention to differences in institutional trust.
