Authors: Ghouma Ghouma , Becha Hamdi , Kalai Maha , Helali Kamel
Published: July 2024

Since 2005, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) mandatory adoption in the European Union has played a pivotal role to reduce financing costs which has influenced positively economic growth across member states. Thus, this study examines the effect of Cost of Capital on Economic Growth under IFRS mandatory adoption in 17 European countries between 1994 and 2021 using Pooled Mean Group Autoregressive Distributed Lag (PMG-ARDL) and System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM-system) methods. The findings reveal a positive correlation between the Cost of Capital and Economic Growth under IFRS adoption. Specifically, the model estimates indicate that the Cost of Capital contributes to a 0.58% increase in Economic Growth in the PMG-ARDL framework. Moreover, the GMM-system model underscores the significance of IFRS adoption in reducing the Cost of Capital, leading to a 0.52% increase in Economic Growth. These results provide insights into the benefits of adopting international accounting standards and highlight the importance of institutional and financial factors in shaping the economic impact of adopting accounting standards.
The Importance of Social Capital in Promoting Financial Inclusion: An International Perspective
Authors: Pavón Cuéllar Lilianne Isabel
Published: July 2024

This paper quantitatively explores the significance of social capital in enhancing international financial inclusion, with a specific focus on its usage dimension, represented by formal credit coverage. Through panel FGLS (Feasible Generalized Least Squares) and PCSE (Panel Corrected Standard Errors) analysis of a sample comprised of 24 countries for the period 2006 – 2021 and utilizing data obtained from diverse sources, it demonstrates that a country's credit coverage is influenced by both informal and formal social capital while controlling by factors such as access channels to financial products, measures to address asymmetric information and educational levels. The results underscore that, while financial inclusion is promoted through internationally accepted standards, its effectiveness is closely intertwined with the social context of implementation. Furthermore, formal institutions play a crucial role in shaping financial inclusion by fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and technological advancement, while attitudes to risk and planning time horizons also significantly impact this dynamic. Notably, nations embracing a pragmatic outlook tend to have more viable access to bank loans, whereas risk aversion impedes economic actors´ propensity to engage in credit agreements, even when accessible.

Authors: Sebai Lamia , Jaber Yasmina , Hamouda Foued
Published: July 2024

This paper analyzes the returns and volatility connectedness between oil prices and Eurozone sector returns during the global financial crisis. We employ the TVP-VAR frequency connectedness approach with daily data of Brent prices and 18 Eurozone supersector indices from 15 November 2014 to 24 November 2023. Our results show a high average connectedness of the returns and volatilities. Industrial Goods are the largest transmitter contrariwise Media supersector is the largest receiver of shocks on returns. The same finding is for volatility, the result shows that Industrial Goods and Services transmit the highest risk in contrast, the Media has the highest receiver volatility indices. The time-varying connectedness (TCI) of returns and volatilities in both show a drastic increase in March 2020. This increase is a result of COVID-19. Whereas, there has been no rise in connectivity following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Our result highlighted that Brent was a net receiver of volatility shocks during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Published: July 2024

Natural fibers are gaining attention for their benefits in both artificial and natural contexts. Using natural fibers in reinforced composites can reduce dependency on conventional concrete-making materials and mitigate environmental impact. This paper examines the effect of coconut fibers on the compressive strength of recycled aggregate (RA) concrete, focusing on the development of sustainable and ductile cementitious composites through the optimization of coconut fibers and construction waste. Specifically, the study investigates the impact of different percentages of coconut fiber (0%, 3%, 5%, and 7% by volume of the mix) on the compressive strength of concrete incorporating varying amounts of RA (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). The performance of these mixes was evaluated based on workability, density, and compressive strength (CS). The results showed that as the amount of RA increased, compressive strength decreased. To regain maximum strength, a preferable amount of 5% coconut fibers is required for each constant level of the water-cement ratio. Concrete incorporating 25% coarse RA with 5% coconut fibers exhibited compressive strength comparable to conventional concrete. The highest compressive strength for concrete made using 50% coarse RA with 0.3 water-cement ratio was achieved with 5% coconut fibers. This study recommends using 5% coconut fibers to attain optimal mechanical performance. The main scope of this paper highlights the potential use of coconut fibers in fibrous composites to partially replace conventional materials.

Characterization and Antileukemic Potential of Annona muricata Leaf Fractions on “MOLT-3” T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells"
Authors: Ilango Suganya
Published: July 2024

Results of this research demonstrate that leaf fractions of Annona muricata can cause the T-ALL cell line, molt-3, to undergo apoptosis. To find out what phytochemicals are in the Annona muricata leaf fraction (F4C), we used FTIR and GCMS in this investigation. Different functional groups were detected by FTIR findings, and different phytochemicals were detected by GCMS analysis in the F4C fraction. The cytotoxic efficacy of the F4C fraction against molt-3 cell lines were confirmed byMTT and SRB assays.The F4C treated cells terminated at the G0-G1 phase of the cell cycle, according to cell cycle analysis. It was determined that the substantial drop in MMP staining by JC-1 labelling corresponded to the loss of MMP. Anticancer efficacy against molt-3 cell line is thus demonstrated by Annona muricata leaf fractions.
Promoting technological literacy through virtual game-based field trips: Effects on knowledge, attitudes, and gender
Authors: Bengel Phillip T. ,   Independent Researcher, Germany, Peter Carina ,   Philipps University Marburg, Germany
Published: July 2024

Virtual field trips in combination with digital game-based learning offer great potential for creating new learning environments, especially for geography education. Those approaches are not only needed to transfer knowledge but also to contribute to creating a more technologically literate society. For the future design of learning spaces and the corresponding professional development of teachers, it is indispensable to learn what the pedagogical advantages and limitations of fully virtual game-based approaches are. For this, it is necessary to know whether purely virtual concepts differ in knowledge transfer from those applied in technology-supported field trips on site. When it comes to promoting technological literacy, additional relevant questions are whether there are influences on participants’ attitudes toward modern technologies and whether there are implied gender effects in this regard. An empirical comparative study of a total of n=110 German high school students was conducted using a survey to answer these questions. Key results are that actual and virtual designs using technology-supported game-based learning approaches can be equally effective in knowledge transfer. Further certain technology-averse attitudes could be identified, which were more prevalent among females than males. This gender gap could be leveled out by the effects of the virtual game-based field trip. Across genders, the levels of aversion were reduced, as well, while affirmative attitudes toward modern technology rose.

Published: July 2024

Formar aprendices competentes capaces de actuar ante situaciones complejas es un reto de la docencia universitaria actual. Como respuesta a este desafío, se han incrementado las metodologías de enseñanza que promueven una implicación más activa del aprendiz y una mayor capacidad de autorregulación de su aprendizaje, tales como el uso de estrategias de personalización. En este trabajo, presentamos una investigación que adopta un enfoque metodológico mixto con preponderancia cuantitativa, cuyo objetivo es indagar la perspectiva del alumnado de Psicología de la Educación de la Formación Inicial del Profesorado ante una experiencia de innovación docente dirigida a reforzar el sentido e implicación del alumnado con su aprendizaje. Se diseñó un cuestionario con preguntas abiertas y cerradas que respondieron un total 274 estudiantes. Este artículo presenta el análisis descriptivo básico de los datos cuantitativos del cuestionario. Los resultados indican una elevada implicación del alumnado y muestran valoraciones distintas de las estrategias de personalización contempladas en la innovación, siendo especialmente valorados: la posibilidad de elegir el formato para evidenciar los resultados de aprendizaje, el análisis de situaciones reales de la práctica profesional docente y la reflexión sobre los aspectos ejecutivos del proceso de aprendizaje y los aprendizajes realizados. Las conclusiones subrayan la importancia de integrar la investigación educativa como una parte consustancial a la mejora de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje y la necesidad de considerar la perspectiva del alumnado para diseñar entornos formativos generadores de sentido.

To make the case for what I term Hall’s political sociology, I stage a dialogue with Arlie Hochschild, whose 2016 ethnography Strangers in Their Own Land has become a classic in the literature. While both Hall and Hochschild stress the importance of documenting the affective nature of political subjectivities, Hochschild’s investment in a politics of reconciliation prevents her from scaling analysis up to political elites, a move that would enable her to better contextualize her findings. Hall offers a model for such an approach, as he connects political subjectivities to acts of articulation; these acts to hegemonic projects; and the impact of such projects to the conjuncture. I stylize Hall’s four-step conceptual frame as a relational cycle because it reconnects the historicizing work of conjunctural analysis to the felt experience of individual subjectivities. Beyond outlining Hall’s political sociology, I illustrate how its use as a heuristic can integrate recent research on the US right. This scheme corrects for an analytic shortcoming driven by Hochschild’s politics of reconciliation, namely a view that political progress will emerge from small-scale, cross-partisan dialogue. Though Hall offers no easy answers to the political questions of our time, his relational political sociology provides a tool for interlacing the research we have, thus rendering the massive challenges of the moment visible in all their detail.

The study assessed the ethical leadership impact and service delivery challenges in Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality (MMM), in the Free State province of South Africa. An interview and open-ended questionnaire were used to gather in-depth information from individuals, allowing participants to voice their own opinions and ideas. The study provided inductive reasoning; as a result, holistic results can be interpreted. The sampling size was drawn from five ward committees consisting of 10 members, with two members from each ward selected as participants. Ten randomly selected residents from Mangaung and two senior managers from MMM were also considered for interviews. Therefore, a total of 10 ward committee members, two senior managers and 10 selected residents were used as a means of gathering data through interviews and a semi-structured questionnaire. The findings of the study reveal poor compliance with legislation, ineffective policy implementation, and shortage of skills required for Local Economic Development (LED), as well as poor ethical leadership, resulted in slow service delivery provision. The study also showed financial constraints are a significant problem in MMM. It was, furthermore, revealed that MMM is currently placed under national administration, and the researcher noted the unhappiness of the Mangaung community with the poor service delivery and unfair job appointments in MMM, which resulted in service delivery protests around Mangaung. The findings highlight that certain ward committees believe residents are deprived of services in Mangaung due to political (dys) functionality and failure of employees to execute their duties efficiently. The study results will be highly beneficial to researchers, scholars, policy makers, and MMM officials, as well as CoGTA, SALGA and other relevant stakeholders. Generalisation of the research findings ought to be undertaken with care; however, further research is encouraged and could focus on other municipalities and Metropolitan municipalities in the country.
