Demand for private health insurance: an empirical study of post-communist countries
Authors: Śliwiński Adam , Borkowska Iwona
Published: July 2024

The development of voluntary health insurance is characteristic of post-Communist and CEE countries. The aim of the paper is to identify the factors determining the demand for private voluntary health insurance. The main finding of the research is that the most important factor is the demographic factor. Other factors include the factor related to the ineffectiveness of treatment under universal health insurance, the factor related to health condition, the demographic factor related to longevity, and the factor related to insurance awareness and income. The research confirms conclusions from previously published studies. The most important is to confirm that the income factor positively influences the studied phenomenon. However, the results shed new light on the aspect of the demand factor, as this indicates the ageing of society and the consequent increase in private spending on health, which are the key mechanisms in the discussion, with the other factors constituting a complementary element.

Perspektywa dalszego rozwoju obejmuje uwzględnienie kolejnych czynników, które będą wynikać z dynamicznie zmieniającego się otoczenia biznesowego.
Społeczna odpowiedzialność biznesu a odpowiedzialne zarządzanie dla zrównoważonego rozwoju
Authors: Sołek-Borowska Celina
Published: July 2024

W literaturze przedmiotu pojęcia jak społeczna odpowiedzialność biznesu i odpowiedzialne zarządzanie często są stosowane zamiennie, a zrównoważony rozwój jest rozumiany jako pojęcie na poziomie makro. Celem artykułu jest usystematyzowanie pojęć oraz określenie ich wzajemnej zależności. Społeczna odpowiedzialność biznesu jest definiowana jako koncepcja, „zgodnie z którą firmy dobrowolnie włączają kwestie społeczne i środowiskowe do swojej działalności biznesowej i interakcji z interesariuszami” [Crowther, Jatana, 2005]. Odpowiedzią przedsiębiorstw na wyzwania zrównoważonego rozwoju, a jednocześnie podstawą realizacji jego celów, jest model społecznej odpowiedzialności. Wykazano, że skuteczna implementacja społecznej odpowiedzialności biznesu i zrównoważonego rozwoju powinna zostać przeprowadzona zgodnie z koncepcją odpowiedzialnego zarządzania. Natomiast warunkiem koniecznym ich wdrożenia jest zaangażowanie ze strony przedsiębiorstw. Przeprowadzona dyskusja ukazuje postrzeganie koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju i społecznej odpowiedzialności przez przedsiębiorstwa jako kluczowe w zapewnieniu długofalowego rozwoju społeczeństw.
The Relationship between Tax Incidence and Tax Avoidance in Indonesia’s Industrial Sector
Authors: Johnson Johnson ,   Universitas Prima Indonesia, Indonesia, Siburian Matondang Elsa , Simorangkir Enda Noviyanti ,   Universitas Prima Indonesia, Indonesia,   Universitas Prima Indonesia, Indonesia
Published: July 2024

Taxes are believed to distort how firms behave and market equilibrium. Since tax reduces equity returns, firms will intuitively reduce tax costs through tax avoidance and any other production or operational cost to achieve the highest returns. One of the production costs that often under hair cross is labour cost. Firms can use their bargaining power to reduce wages to offset tax costs. On the other hand, firms' attempt to reduce wages might, in turn, lower their production output. Lower output means a lesser taxable base and less marginal benefit for tax avoidance. Lower output also means lower equity returns and might incentivize firms to do more tax avoidance. Therefore, many researchers are looking for answers to the following question: how much do firms avoid tax in the face of their capability to shift the tax burden to labour? This study aims to investigate the relationship between tax incidence and tax avoidance in the industrial sector in Indonesia. While previous studies have shown solid empirical support for this relationship, Indonesia's employment conditions and industrial characteristics differ from those in the United States and other countries. The data for the study was taken from the reports of IDX-listed companies in the industrial sector ranging from the year 2018 to the year 2022. The data analysis uses Generalized Least Square (GLS) panel data regression. Using education level as a proxy for tax incidence and cash ETR as a proxy for tax avoidance, the authors found no significant connection between them because the industrial sector predominantly employs a much higher number of workers with low education levels compared to those with higher education. Additionally, highly educated workers in Indonesia often face job market challenges; thus, horizontal mismatches happen. Instead, other variables like sales growth, leverage, firm size, SG&A expenses, and loss carryforward significantly influence tax avoidance.
Relationship between Wastewater Quality and Corporate Stock Price
Authors: Ngwakwe Collins C. ,   University of Limpopo, Polokwane, South Africa
Published: July 2024

Almost all industrial players handle wastewater treatment in one way or another by themselves, no matter the industry or company’s size. Some companies have wastewater treatment plants, and others are considering investments for construction or modernisation. Occasionally, industrial wastewater is discharged to a municipal wastewater treatment plant; however, it must sometimes be pre-treated. Corporate wastewater quality is imperative for environmental responsibility, corporate legitimacy and financial performance. This paper examines the relationship between the reduction of hydrocarbon content of offshore and onshore wastewater and the stock price presented in TotalEnergies. The data on hydrocarbon content reduction in offshore and onshore wastewater discharge was collected from the TotalEnergies 2022 Sustainability and Climate Progress Report. In addition, the data on TotalEnergy’s stock price was collected from the FusionMedia online stock price index. Data was analysed quantitatively through the application of a graphical approach. Findings from the graphical analysis of data depict two important dimensions of the stock value effect. Firstly, the results show a corresponding relationship between the reduction in the hydrocarbon content of wastewater and an increase in the stock price value of TotalEnergies. Secondly, the results show that the increase in stock price value continues even beyond the times of hydrocarbon reduction, which shows that investors compensate the company for its previously good performance in hydrocarbon reduction. This legitimacy-ingrained performance shows that hydrocarbon reduction protects the company’s value even during uncertainties and/or hindrances in wastewater quality. Based on this finding, the paper develops an inductive hypothesis, opening a new research agenda. The findings are of practical significance for industrial hydrocarbon content reduction and the attraction of short- and long-term financial value to the industry.
Comprehensive Diagnosis of Activity's Economic Indicators to Ensure Insurance Companies' Financial Security
Authors: Shіrіnyan Lada ,   National University of Food Technologies, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: July 2024

The development of the insurance market is accompanied by unstable transitional processes that can create threats and risks of worsening the insurer's financial condition. In this regard, an urgent issue is the comprehensive diagnosis of the economic indicators of the activity of insurance companies to ensure their financial security. The insurer's financial security is a set of measures to eliminate the threats of deterioration of the financial condition to achieve an acceptable level of activity risk during a certain period and ensure the insurer's financial stability before the increase of external and internal threats affecting the financial condition. Threats include factors and processes that can negatively affect the interests of owners and clients and the insurer's financial condition. Therefore, indicators of the insurer's financial security are the most significant financial indicators and parameters (factors) that characterize the insurer's financial condition and financial stability concerning parameter changes (factors). The article aims to develop a methodology for comprehensive diagnostics of insurance companies' economic indicators to ensure financial security. The research methodology is based on the use of insurers' microeconomic indicators. The author's proposals are based on two groups of indicators used in financial analysis: 1) indicators of financial condition and 2) indicators of financial stability and security. Each group comprises 7-8 financial indicators, corresponding criteria, and normative values. It is proposed that diagnostics be carried out in two stages. In the first stage, the financial condition is determined according to the indicators of the first group, and then – in the second stage, it is detailed by analyzing the indicators of financial security (indicators of the second group). The application of the approach presented in the article makes it possible to carry out purposeful work on the diagnosis of economic indicators of activity, to form an independent opinion not only about the insurer's financial condition but also to build the fundamental foundations of ensuring its financial security. It is crucial not only to calculate and compare the dynamics of indicators of the financial condition of insurers but also to assess the degree of their readiness to counter threats correctly.

Authors: Banswal Shruti , Prakash Mudita , Jyotirmayi P , Gupta Shrish C
Published: July 2024

Multiple shoots have been induced in nodal explants of 30-year-old Acacia auriculiformis trees on Nitsch's medium (N medium) supplemented with 1.0 mg/l N6-benzyladenine. Addition of 0.1 mg/l adenine sulfate to N medium containing BA, enhanced the caulogenic response whereby the number of shoots developing on each node increased from three to fifteen. Plantlets were obtained by rooting axenically raised shoots on N medium (half strength) with 1.0 mg/l naphthalene acetic acid. Use of activated charcoal (0.01%) in the medium completely suppressed callus formation at the root-shoot junction.

Published: July 2024

The limitation of planting material is the major drawback to expanding pear cultivation in Sri Lanka. Hence, an in vitro protocol was developed to produce planting material for the pear variety of Rahangala. Pear shoots were used as explants and surface sterilization of explants was done using 0.5% and 1% (w/v) AgNO3 for 15 min, 5% and 10% (v/v) NaOCl for 5, 10 and 15 min. In vitro shoot multiplication and root induction were found to be suitable in full and half strengths of MS medium respectively supplemented with various concentrations of BAP (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 mg/l), IBA (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 mg/l) and NAA (0.1 mg/l). Acclimatization was conducted in pots containing different proportions of topsoil, compost, coir dust and sand. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used as an experimental design for this study. During sterilization of explants, the survival rate of 86.6% was recorded after 3 weeks where the treatment was done with 1% AgNO3, and 10% NaOCl for 10 min. BAP (3.0 mg/l) produced the best shoot multiplication (1.46 ± 0.2). Significantly (p<0.05), the highest mean number of roots (1.93 ± 0.98), average length (60.6 mm), and rooting percentage (68%) were observed in ½ MS medium with 4.0 mg/l IBA. After five weeks of transplantation in pots, 100% of plantlets survived in topsoil, compost, coir dust, and sand in a ratio of 1:1:1:1

Authors: Mollika Sanjida Rahman , Islam Tahmina , Hoque M I , Sarker R H
Published: July 2024

Internodal segments and leaf explants from four varieties of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivated in Bangladesh, namely, Asterix, Diamant, Granola and Lady Rosseta were utilized for indirect in vitro regeneration of shoots through callus culture. The best responses regarding the reaeration of shoots were obtained when the explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 4.0 mg/l BAP and 1.0 mg/l IAA and 0.5 mg/l GA3. The highest frequency of multiple shoot regeneration was recorded from internodal segments rather than from the leaf explants. Hormone free MS medium was found to be the most effective for healthy root induction from the in vitro raised excised shoots. Following adequate root induction, the in vitro regenerated plantlets were successfully transplanted and established to soil for further growth and development of tubers.

O Drama de Beckett através da pintura
Authors: Gonçalves Curty Vanessa
Published: July 2024

Este artigo analisa o estado dos estudos acerca da relação da dramaturgia teatral de Samuel Beckett com a pintura, considerando que diferentes classificações do teatro beckettiano indicam essa ligação e que estudiosos importantes da obra de Beckett afirmam a centralidade da visualidade e do pensamento pictórico na composição teatral do autor. Inicialmente a associação do nome de Beckett com o “teatro do absurdo”, o “teatro pós-moderno” e o “pós-dramático” são, portanto, revisitadas tendo em vista a analogia entre essas classificações e a pintura, bem como as afinidades entre algumas peças do autor e certas tendências pictóricas. A partir disso são abordados os trabalhos que tratam exatamente da ligação da composição teatral beckettiana com a arte pictórica, de modo a se indicar como essa composição se apropria da discussão visual, as características pictóricas dessa dramaturgia e a sua proximidade com com a produção de determinados pintores. Assim, são aqui apresentadas discussões indispensáveis para a análise da obra teatral de Beckett e apontadas questões ainda inexploradas no âmbito dos estudos beckettianos.

Introduction: The research is aimed to identify the vulnerable areas of quarry slopes through the creation of a stress-strain state model for the rock mass at the Vostochny quarry, East Saryoba field of the Zhi-landy Group of cupriferous sandstones, as well as their subsequent strengthening.

Methods: The research is based on the development of a database containing information on mining-geological, geophysical, geodetic and aerospace surveys. The authors of the research use modern geodetic, aerospace and geophysical technologies for scientifically based predicting of technogenic disasters and the rock mass stress-strain state modeling to ensure safe and optimal mining of fields in difficult mining-geological conditions.

Results: The results obtained show that the strengthening of weakened quarry slopes based on the rock mass stress-strain state modeling contributes to the scientific-practical profitability of field mining and provides safe mining in difficult mining-geological conditions.

Discussion: Novelty is in the scientific substantiation of the method for strengthening quarry slopes, which is based on the rock mass stress-strain state modeling. The research is of great practical importance, as the rock mass stress-strain state modeling increases the reliability of predicting the rock mass state during its mining. Strengthening of quarry slopes using the proposed method reduces risks and increases safety and economic efficiency of mining the solid mineral deposits in difficult mining-geological conditions.

Introduction

This study in Argentina evaluated the impact of the growzen™ buddy smartphone app on adherence to recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH) treatment.

Methods

The adherence data, invitation dates with a link to the app, app activation dates, and height measurements entered were extracted from the growzen™ digital health ecosystem. Patients with 12 months of adherence data, aged ≥2 years at treatment start, and aged <19 years were selected both before and after app implementation. Mean adherence was classified as optimal (≥85%) versus suboptimal (<85%). Adherence before and after implementation and the pre–post effect on adherence were assessed.

Results

Data for 830 patients were available. Prior to app implementation, the proportion of patients with optimal adherence was 68% (n = 348/515). Following the app implementation, out of 315 patients, 302 (96%) received an invitation with a link to the app, 225 (71%) activated their account, and 127 (40%) entered height data in the first year. There was a significant early increase in the proportion of patients with optimal adherence following implementation: 82% (n = 258/315), p < 0.001. After implementation, the proportion of patients with optimal adherence included 80% (n = 78/98) of those with an active account who did not enter height measurements and 89% (n = 113/127) of those who did. There was a significant and positive pre–post app effect on adherence (p < 0.01) in patients with an active account.

Discussion

Our results show that using the growzen™ buddy app has a rapid and positive impact on adherence to r-hGH treatment, and patients who were more engaged with the app demonstrated better adherence.
Effect of DNA methylation on the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells: concise review
Authors: Lai Zhihao , Shu Qing , Song Yue , Tang Ao , Tian Jun
Published: July 2024

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have promising potential for bone tissue engineering in bone healing and regeneration. They are regarded as such due to their capacity for self-renewal, multiple differentiation, and their ability to modulate the immune response. However, changes in the molecular pathways and transcription factors of MSCs in osteogenesis can lead to bone defects and metabolic bone diseases. DNA methylation is an epigenetic process that plays an important role in the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by regulating gene expression. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated the significance of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), Ten-eleven translocation family proteins (TETs), and MSCs signaling pathways about osteogenic differentiation in MSCs. This review focuses on the progress of research in these areas.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of distillery wastewater (DWW) on the nutrient composition, fermentation quality and microbial community of Sorghum propinquum silage during the micro-permeation of air. S. propinquum without (CK) or with L. buchneri, (LAB), distillery wastewater yellow serofluid (Y) and distillery spent wash (S) was ensiled for 60 days, and then subjected to a micro-permeation stability of air test for 6 days. After 60 days of storage, treatments with DWW and LAB decreased the loss of DM, inhibited the degradation of protein and reduced the production of ammonia nitrogen in silage relative to the control. In particular, S. propinquum silage treated with yellow serofluid sustained higher levels. Moreover, the addition of DWW resulted in higher levels of acetic and propionic acid than the other treatments. During the micro-permeation of air, the addition of DWW was effective in inhibiting the reduction of lactic acid content, and unique genera Roseburia and Faecalibacterium, which are beneficial for livestock production, discovered in DWW-treated S. propinquum silage. In conclusion, the addition of DWW was efficacious in improving the nutritional composition and microbial community of S. propinquum silage during the micro-permeation of air.

Under global warming, impacts on animals’ spatial distribution in response to ocean warming have been anticipated for marine endotherms like cetaceans. Therefore, determining the distribution patterns of small cetaceans is key to understanding how their distributional patterns are susceptible to changing oceanic environments. To investigate the effect of environmental variations on distributional patterns of small cetaceans on a fine scale, we attached eight satellite tags to Dall’s porpoises bycaught in Eastern Hokkaido. After release, the tagged porpoises moved into the western North Pacific and its marginal sea, the Sea of Okhotsk. Our tagging results showed that the habitat ranges of Dall’s porpoises were restricted by water temperature. To avoid warm water, tagged porpoises changed their directions when they faced surface thermocline of 17°C. Dall’s porpoise tracked for the longest periods (116 days) showed southwestward movement after entering the Sea of Japan through the Soya Strait, while the other seven tagged porpoises stayed in the Sea of Okhotsk and off the Pacific coast around Hokkaido and Chishima islands for the entire tracking periods. Vertical movements were also recorded by these tags. Long-term tracking of Dall’s porpoises’ movement provides important insights into seasonal migration patterns, particularly for fall southward migration, which has not been well investigated compared with spring northward migration. Information on seasonal migration, distribution and percentage of time spent at the surface will improve our approach to monitoring Dall’s porpoise populations and discover important knowledge for improving the conservation and management of the population.

Touch sensitivity generally declines with age, contributing to loss of manual dexterity and tactile function. We investigated how touch changes over the lifespan, using different tests and on three body sites. We used a classical test of force detection sensitivity, where calibrated monofilaments were applied passively to the right index finger pad, forearm, and cheek. In addition, at the index, we used an active touch spatial discrimination task, developed by our group. Spatial discrimination was estimated through participants' ability to evaluate the distance between parallel bands printed on acrylic plates. Data were collected from 96 healthy women, aged 20–75 years. Force detection and tactile spatial discrimination on the index deteriorated significantly with age; however, no change was found for tactile detection on the forearm or cheek. Tactile detection on the cheek remained remarkably highly sensitive throughout life. There was a significant positive relationship between force detection and spatial discrimination on the index. Further, force detection on the forearm was significantly associated with detection on the index and cheek. Our results suggest a decrease in touch perception with age on the index finger pad, yet a preservation of tactile sensitivity in hairy skin. This opens discussion about the impact of daily activities upon the glabrous hand skin and on the function of hairs in tactile sensitivity. We highlight the need for new methods in evaluating tactile sensitivity on hairy skin.
