Published: March 2023

The article provides the essence of the concept of "own trademark" (Private Label) clarification, taking into account its use as a tool of competitive struggle of both traditional trade and e-commerce subjects. The active development of e-commerce expands the possibilities of Private Label using. The number of products under Private Labels on online platforms can be measured in thousands of units. A comprehensive classification of goods under Private Labels is given. Such classification features as product type, product group (purpose), price level, connection with the name of the trade network, policy of own trademarks using, the nature of production facilities, geography of production, consumer perception of prices and quality, the place in the retailer's brand structure, prevailing elements of added value formation for the consumer were highlighted. The motivational manifestations of the retailer's behavior are formulated and the triad of his intentions to create a Private Label is defined. So the Private Label has dual character with positive (creative) and negative (destructive) manifestation. The process of managing the goods under Private Label (PL-management) by retailer has six characteristic features. They are determined as identity, universality, voluntariness, proactiveness, advisability and autonomy. The condition of Private Labels market development was considered and the features of its manifestation in the cross-section of the world's continents were determined. The turnover of private labels increased by 41% from 2013 to 2018. At the same time, the turnover of national brands increased only by 7.4%. Private labels are the most widespread in Western Europe and account for a fairly modest share of total sales in the FMCG market in Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. The dynamics of the share of Private Labels in the total volume of goods sold in the countries of Western Europe during 2012–2021 were analyzed. Positive dynamics during this period were found in all countries of Western Europe, with the exception of Norway and the Czech Republic. In the coming years, the global market for Private Label products will be generally grow.

Сучасний світ вже неможливо уявити собі без рекламних роликів в інтернеті і на телебаченні, банерів, плакатів, вивісок, афіш і т.п. По своїй суті реклама є цілим комплексом звукових, словесних, писемних та образотворчих прийомів, які створюють більше можливостей для впливу на потенційного клієнта. Мистецтво, економічні і політичні характеристики суспільства завжди було частиною реклами, впливаючи на неї через систему моральних та етичних цінностей, культурних образів, естетичних установок як способів перетворення предметної реальності. Саме тому рівень, темпи розвитку та поширення реклами залежить, в першу чергу, від рівня свободи дій соціуму як сукупності індивідуумів в політичній, економічній чи культурній площині. Реклама, в різних свої проявах, є обов’язковим елементом маркетингової діяльності будь-якого сучасного підприємства. Головною комерційною метою маркетингу є збільшення обсягів і темпів продажів для забезпечення ефективності діяльності підприємства, а реклама грає роль основного «локомотива», що рухає вперед весь комплекс задач, які стосуються питань просування продукції. При цьому, перед маркетологами може виникати спокуса подати рекламну інформацію у найпривабливішому вигляді, висвітливши тільки переваги об’єкта реклами, приховавши недоліки, або заради отримання якомога більшого прибутку, взагалі подати невірну, викривлену, недостовірну інформацію. Та сучасний бізнес, що орієнтується на концепцію соціально відповідального маркетингу, в основу якої покладено базові принципи етики маркетингу, не сприймає рекламну діяльність, головним девізом якої є «прибуток понад усе».

За результатами дослідження з’ясовано вирішенню яких проблем на підприємстві сприяє впровадження та застосування інформаційних систем бухгалтерського обліку.
The Right to Health: Is There a Correlation Between Domestic Commitment and Treaty Engagement?
Authors: Ngwaba Uchechukwu
Published: March 2023

As the world recovers from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper examines the engagement of four low- and middle-income states (Brazil, India, Nigeria, and South Africa) with the obligations to guarantee the right to health domestically they have assumed in the treaty framework on health. Utilizing institutional liberalism (or sometimes liberal institutionalism) as its theoretical lens, the paper suggests the presence of a strong correlation between these states' domestic commitment to the right to health and their responses to treaty obligations in respect of that right. The paper further propounds that of the states examined, those that have shown serious commitment to the right to health in their domestic system have shown a greater likelihood of engaging and complying with their international treaty obligations in fulfilling that right. The paper concludes that by engaging and being committed to the right to health in their domestic systems, these states have increased the likelihood that they will engage and comply with the treaty framework on the right to health. Alternatively, the paper argues that even where domestic commitment to the right to health is weak, the assumption of international treaty obligations in respect of that right can "help domestic social actors in these states set priorities, define meaning, make rights demands and bargain from a position of greater strength than would have been the case in the absence of their government's treaty commitment."1

The current study evaluates the data obtained from 215 manufacturing companies in Malaysia. The data is collected and analysed using PLS-SEM in order to provide an in-depth look at the issue. The results show that flexibility and responsiveness are positively related to a company's financial condition. The primary contribution of this study is to provide the management of company with a ground-breaking idea of dealing with a pandemic situation in the current business environment. A company's capacity to survive also depends on planning changes, particularly those that affect supply chain management and production operations. When making tough decisions, managers must be less rigid and more flexible. Demand management, inventory management, supply chain management, and operation management are some of the things that call for flexibility and responsiveness. The business will experience losses if they are unable to meet the demands of the COVID-19 era and maintain business operations. Of course, this will have an impact on the company’s financial performance.
PLURILINGUALISM IN TEACHER EDUCATION FOR MULTICULTURAL SCHOOLS AND KINDERGARTENS IN ESTONIA
Authors: Raud Nina , Džalalova Anna , Raik Katri
Published: March 2023

Plurilingualism as the principle and the aim of education policies presupposes that all teachers know several languages, are aware of particularities of multicultural educational environments and can apply methodology of content and language integrated learning. This paper will discuss how these principles of plurilingualism are realized in teacher education in Estonia which is a multicultural country inhabited by representatives of more than 100 ethnicities with Estonians being the title nation. The Russian language is spoken by almost 30% of the 1.3 million population of the country. Such an ethnic and linguistic composition of the society puts forward a number of challenges for the Estonian system of education – to its system of general education with 20% of it working in Russian, to tertiary education and to teacher education in particular. One of the ways of meeting the requirements set to plurilingual teacher education is the implementation of a trilingual teacher education model with the focus being placed on content and language integrated learning (CLIL) and with language immersion being a part of it. By analyzing various aspects of the model the authors will present the advantages and challenges of its realization.
Key words: CLIL, multiculturalism, plurilingualism, teacher education.
FACTORS AFFECTING TRANSITION RATES FROM PRIMARY TO SECONDARY SCHOOLS: THE CASE OF KENYA
Authors: Werunga Kikechi R. , Musera Geoffrey , Sindabi Oliver
Published: March 2023

Kenya envisages being a developed nation by 2030. This calls for increased transition rates from primary to secondary school in all districts to meet its anticipated middle and high level manpower requirements. However, transition rates from primary to secondary school in some districts remain low despite the government effort to offer tuition free secondary education. This has been attributed to a number of factors among them cultural, environmental, school-based or socio-economic factors. This is a cause of concern if the government has to meet Vision 2030 as well as MDGs by 2015. This paper reports on factors affecting transition rates from primary to secondary school in Taita Taveta district, Kenya. A sample of 144 respondents consisting of 88 parents and 56 primary school head teachers in the district were used. The main tools of data collection were a questionnaire and interview schedule. Data analysis involved the use of percentages and a Chi- square. The results indicate that an average of 40% of pupils fail to transits to secondary schools every year in the district and the most affected are girls. The main reasons for non transition are lack of funds to pay school levies, early marriages, long distance to school and lack of interest in schooling. There is thus need for the government to introduce incentives such as additional allocations to the poor, include secondary education as basic education, empower the locals through poverty eradication strategies and review the curriculum to make it more responsive to students’ interests.
Key words: cultural factors, environmental factors, school-based factors, socio-economic factors, transition rate.

Este estudio busca identificar los efectos esperados por la nueva norma contable de arrendamiento financiero – NIIF 16, en empresas de diferentes sectores, especialmente de agronegocios y recursos naturales en Brasil, con base en los estados financieros de 2017. Aunque se esperaba un aumento en el apalancamiento financiero de las empresas después de la adopción del nuevo estándar, este no necesariamente define un deterioro en las calificaciones crediticias (ratings) y tampoco el aumento en el costo de capital de las compañías, ya que la condición de generación de efectivo de las compañías no se modifica exclusivamente mediante la adopción de la nueva norma. Además, el efecto de adoptar la nueva norma contable redujo los ingresos netos de las empresas en los primeros años después de la adopción.

Aspect and Meaning of ‘Masculinity’ in Kim Joo-young’s Popular Novels
Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Lee Hwajin
Published: March 2023

This paper examines the complexion and significance of ‘masculinity’ in Kim Joo-young's popular novels. Masculinity is concept defined by society and its relationship to femininity. Men depicted in popular novels often admire ‘the ideal man’, and it is common to produce 'hegemonic masculinity' that dominates power, authority, and economic abundance. However, often, men in Kim Joo-young's novels are alienated or despised by society, such as rogues or gangsters. They roam the city, disregarding the status quo and authority, ignoring customs and order, and destroying the ideal male image. The masculinity these characters represent has a certain ‘libertine existence’ and an overly intentional violent personality, or it has antisocial characteristics that hate ‘daring women’ and objectify women. Men with such forced masculinity contribute to exposing the disruptiveness of capitalist society and create an ironic effect. Kim criticizes the oppressed ruling order by implementing them, but there is a limit to revealing ambivalence that admires ‘hegemonic masculinity’. Nevertheless, the masculinity depicted in Kim Joo-young's is meaningful in that it caused cracks in the solid patriarchal social order and produced critical discourse.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Zhang Guoyan , Hong Seokho
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this paper is to propose implications by analyzing the factors affecting the use of home-help services of long-term care according to gender. Anderson's Behavioral Model was used, and 4,503 elderly aged 65 or older were finally analyzed from the 16th data of the Korean Welfare Panel. The main findings are as follows. First, in common for both groups, the super-aged elderly, low level of social relationship satisfaction, and low level of subjective health status increased the probability of using home service. Second, unlike the elderly male, the worse the family relationship satisfaction, the more chronic the disease, and the higher the residential environment satisfaction, and the higher the probability of using home-help service. Based on the results of an empirical analysis of the factors of home-help services of long-term care, this study proposed empirical methods of service use by gender characteristics and provided discussions on policy support.

Toplum içinde otizmli bireyler sosyal iletişimde yaşadıkları sorunlar ve stereotipik hareketleri nedeni ile etiketlenme ve damgalamaya maruz kalabilmektedir. Toplumun olumsuz tutum ve davranışları ile sosyal hayat otizmli birey ve aileleri için zorluk oluşturabilmektedir. Toplumun otizmli birey ve aileye yönelik olumsuz tutum ve davranışları sonucunda, aile üyeleri toplumdan soyutlanarak yaşar hale gelmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı toplumun otizme bakış açısını çeşitli değişkenler aracılığı ile incelemektir. Bu araştırma, nicel metot ile ilişkisel tarama türünde yapılmıştır. Araştırmada, Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğuna Yönelik Toplumsal Tutumlar Ölçeği (OYTTÖ), Damgalama Ölçeği, Hoşgörü Ölçeği ve sosyo-demografik bilgileri belirlemek amacıyla hazırlanan Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri online ortamda elde edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre otizm spektrum bozukluğuna yönelik toplumsal tutum ile hoşgörü arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Dışlanma alt ölçekleri olan ayrımcılık, etiketleme, psikolojik sağlık ile otizm spektrum bozukluğuna yönelik toplumsal tutum arasında pozitif yönlü ilişki tespit edilmiş; önyargı ile otizm spektrum bozukluğuna yönelik toplumsal tutum arasında herhangi bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Kadın ve erkek olma durumu ile otizm spektrum bozukluğuna yönelik toplumsal tutum arasında bir ilişki bulunamamıştır.

The era of the industrial revolution 4.0 has led to technological developments, especially in the world of education. This era emphasizes the pattern of digital economy, artificial intelligence, big data, robotics, and so on or commonly known as the phenomenon of disruptive innovation, for example the use of Android as a mobile learning medium. This study aims to determine the effect of the cooperative learning model thorugh e-module regarding third stage of labor care on the increase in knowledge, skills, and learning motivation among midwifery D-III students. This was a quantitative study with a pre-experimental approach using a two-group pre-test- post-test design.  The results showed that the majority of respndents in the two groups of variables before being given treatment had poor knowledge as many as 33 respondents (73.3%) and 34 respondents (75.6%), all respondents had poor skills, and the majority had low motivation as many as 39 respondents (86.7%) and 45 respondents (100%). The statistical test for knowledge, skills and motivations variables obtained the same p value of 0.000 <0.05. Thus, the research hypothesis was accepted. There was an effect of the cooperative learning model with  e-module regarding third stage of labor care on the increase in knowledge, skills and learning motivation among midwifery DIII students.

Background

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular events. The conventional modeling methods and severity risk scores lack multiple laboratories, paraclinical and imaging data. Data science and machine learning (ML) based prediction models may help better predict outcomes.

Materials and methods

In this retrospective registry-based design, all consecutive hospitalized patients diagnosed with pulmonary thromboembolism (based on pulmonary CT angiography) from 2011 to 2019 were recruited. ML based algorithms [Gradient Boosting (GB) and Deep Learning (DL)] were applied and compared with logistic regression (LR) to predict hemodynamic instability and/or all-cause mortality.

Results

A total number of 1,017 patients were finally enrolled in the study, including 465 women and 552 men. Overall incidence of study main endpoint was 9.6%, (7.2% in men and 12.4% in women; p-value = 0.05). The overall performance of the GB model is better than the other two models (AUC: 0.94 for GB vs. 0.88 and 0.90 for DL and LR models respectively). Based on GB model, lower O2 saturation and right ventricle dilation and dysfunction were among the strongest adverse event predictors.

Conclusion

ML-based models have notable prediction ability in PE patients. These algorithms may help physicians to detect high-risk patients earlier and take appropriate preventive measures.

Background

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is commonly resulted from sustained pressure overload and/or metabolic disorder and eventually leads to heart failure, lacking specific drugs in clinic. Here, we aimed to identify promising anti-hypertrophic drug(s) for heart failure and related metabolic disorders by using a luciferase reporter-based high-throughput screening.

Methods

A screen of the FDA-approved compounds based on luciferase reporter was performed, with identified luteolin as a promising anti-hypertrophic drug. We systematically examined the therapeutic efficacy of luteolin on cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure in vitro and in vivo models. Transcriptome examination was performed to probe the molecular mechanisms of luteolin.

Results

Among 2,570 compounds in the library, luteolin emerged as the most robust candidate against cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Luteolin dose-dependently blocked phenylephrine-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and showed extensive cardioprotective roles in cardiomyocytes as evidenced by transcriptomics. More importantly, gastric administration of luteolin effectively ameliorated pathological cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, metabolic disorder, and heart failure in mice. Cross analysis of large-scale transcriptomics and drug-target interacting investigations indicated that peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) was the direct target of luteolin in the setting of pathological cardiac hypertrophy and metabolic disorders. Luteolin can directly interact with PPARγ to inhibit its ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Furthermore, PPARγ inhibitor and PPARγ knockdown both prevented the protective effect of luteolin against phenylephrine-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro.

Conclusion

Our data clearly supported that luteolin is a promising therapeutic compound for pathological cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure by directly targeting ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation of PPARγ and the related metabolic homeostasis.

Published: March 2023

The problem of correlation between the Chinese green bond market and the government bond market may affect the smooth operation of the national economy. In this paper, a total of 3,181 sets of data representing the China’s green bond market and the government bond market for the period 2010–2022 are selected, and the VECM-DCC-VARMA-AGARCH model is used to analyse the spillover effects between the two in terms of information transmission and risk contagion. The results indicate that 1) The dynamic correlation between the China’s green bond market and the government bond market is significant, with obvious information transmission and risk contagion effects. 2) Compared to the government bond market, the green bond market is more sensitive to new information and the intensity of the reflection is stronger. 3) There is a long-term equilibrium relationship between the China’s green bond market and the government bond market, and the government bond market will adjust in the direction of green bonds through an error correction mechanism when deviations occur. 4) There is a significant two-way risk contagion effect between the green bond market and the government bond market, but the intensity of the effect is asymmetric. 5) The dynamic correlation between the green bond market and the government bond market has been deepening. Based on the above findings, we have put forward some rationalisation proposals.

The tourism and travel industry (TTI) has become a vital developmental tool for boosting economic growth globally; however, this economic thriving is adversely connected to the environment. This study examines the impacts of eight TTI subsectors on economic growth and environmental pollution in the United States of America by contextualizing energy consumption and globalization. We applied the ARDL bounds test and Granger causality approach on time-series data (2005 1st quarter–2019 4th quarter). Granger causality uncovers TLGH, GLTH, and feedback hypotheses between TT subindustries. The subindustries supporting TLGH’s proposal that long-term investment in these sectors could enhance economic growth. In addition, industries supporting GLTH indicate that a strong economy would be beneficial for these industries. Maximum subindustries indicate a significant positive association with energy consumption. The long-run dynamics show that TT subindustries have different influences on greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O) and air pollutants (CO, NH3, NOx, SO2, VOC, and PM2.5). Long-run dynamics show that food and drinking places emit more GHG than other entertainment and hospitality subsectors. Amusement, gambling, and entertainment contribute more to air pollutants among the entertainment and hospitality subsectors. Road and railway transportation contribute more to GHG emissions than other travel sectors in the long run. Air transportation in the travel subsector is responsible for high air pollutants. The Granger causality results reveal that art, gambling and recreation in entertainment and hospitality industries, and ground transportation contribute the most to environmental pollution. Globalization has varying effects on economic growth, energy consumption, and environmental pollution indicators. We have provided sustainable policy implications for reducing GHG emissions and air pollutants.

Published: March 2023

Introduction

Open-pit coal mining could disrupt the ecosystem and lead to the loss of service values for the ecosystem through direct occupation or indirect impacts on adjacent ecosystems.

Methods

In this research, we combined a new accounting system, gross ecosystem product (GEP), with spatial–temporal analyses to quantify the ecological variation and explore its driving factors in Pingshuo, a large-scale open-pit coal mining area in China. GEP is an aggregate accounting system that can summarize the value of provisioning, regulating, and cultural ecosystem services (ES) in a single monetary metric. The spatial–temporal approaches used in our study were known as exploratory spatial data analyses and interpretable models in machine learning. Both spatial and non-spatial data, including remote sensing images, meteorological data, and official statistics, were applied in the research.

Results

The results indicated the following: (i) From 1990 to 2020, the annual average growth rates of GEP decreased from 30.78 to 9.1%. Furthermore, the classified results of GEP revealed that the regions with rich ES quality rapidly reduced from 51.90 to 32.18%. (ii) Spatial correlation of GEP was significant, and the degree of spatial clustering was relatively high in the mining areas. Moreover, the mining areas also continually presented concentrated high-density and hot spot areas of GEP changes. (iii) The spatial–temporal effects were notable in the relationship between GEP and three socioeconomic factors, i.e., the mining effects, human activity intensity, and gross domestic product (GDP). (iv) The win–win development for both the economy and ecological environment in Pingshuo could be realized by restricting the annual growth rate of mining areas to between 4.56 and 5.03%.

Discussion

The accounting results and spatial–temporal analyses of GEP will contribute to the future regional sustainable development and ecosystem management in Pingshuo.

Background: There is increasing evidence that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be used as potential prognostic factors for cancer. This study aimed to develop a prognostic model for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) using angiogenesis-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as potential prognostic factors.

Methods: Transcriptome data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were analyzed to identify aberrantly expressed angiogenesis-related lncRNAs in LUAD. A prognostic signature was constructed using differential expression analysis, overlap analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and Cox regression analysis. The model’s validity was assessed using K-M and ROC curves, and independent external validation was performed in the GSE30219 dataset. Prognostic lncRNA-microRNA (miRNA)-messenger RNA (mRNA) competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were identified. Immune cell infiltration and mutational characteristics were also analyzed. The expression of four human angiogenesis-associated lncRNAs was quantified using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) gene arrays.

Results: A total of 26 aberrantly expressed angiogenesis-related lncRNAs in LUAD were identified, and a Cox risk model based on LINC00857, RBPMS-AS1, SYNPR-AS1, and LINC00460 was constructed, which may be an independent prognostic predictor for LUAD. The low-risk group had a significant better prognosis and was associated with a higher abundance of resting immune cells and a lower expression of immune checkpoint molecules. Moreover, 105 ceRNA mechanisms were predicted based on the four prognostic lncRNAs. qRT-PCR results showed that LINC00857, SYNPR-AS1, and LINC00460 were significantly highly expressed in tumor tissues, while RBPMS-AS1 was highly expressed in paracancerous tissues.

Conclusion: The four angiogenesis-related lncRNAs identified in this study could serve as a promising prognostic biomarker for LUAD patients.
