Authors: Amelia Perina
Published: November 2022

Financial distress is a condition in which a company experiences decline and difficulty to fulfil its financial obligations. Financial distress prediction aims to identify early warning indicators of impending financial disaster so businesses can begin financial reconstruction at the appropriate moment. This study aims to compare the statistically significant difference results of various financial prediction models and the level of accuracy of each model in 25 companies engaged in the hotel, restaurant, and tourism sectors in 2018-2021. By using Kruskal-Wallis Test, Mann-Whitney Post Hoc Test, and accuracy test to compare each model. The results of this study are based on the Kruskal-Wallis test, all models used are statistically significant differences. Meanwhile, when paired using the Mann-Whitney Post-Hoc Test, it was found that the Springate and Grover models did not have a statistically significant difference. In addition, the results of the test accuracy show that the DEA accuracy rate of 79%, and the Springate model with the lowest accuracy of 33%. The results interpret that each model has its own indicator for predicting financial distress. It is recommended in examining the financial distress of hotel, restaurant, and tourism companies using DEA model since it results in the highest accuracy rate. Keywords: DEA, financial distress, multivariate discriminant analysis

Die nationale Netzgesellschaft Swissgrid: Wer haftet für die sichere Stromversorgung der Schweiz?
Authors: Baumann Robert
Published: November 2022

Um von den Kraftwerken zu den Verbrauchern zu gelangen, muss der elektrische Strom durch das 6700 km lange Übertragungsnetz fliessen. Ohne dieses wäre die Versorgung mit elektrischer Energie nicht möglich. Eigentümerin und Betreiberin des Übertragungsnetzes ist Swissgrid – eine privat-rechtliche Aktiengesellschaft. Swissgrid ist von Gesetzes wegen dafür verantwortlich, dass schweizweit dauernd und jederzeit die nötige Menge Strom zu angemessenen Preisen erhältlich ist. Doch was geschieht, wenn Swissgrid dies nicht mehr gewährleisten kann? Die Auswirkungen auf die gesamte Bevölkerung und die Wirtschaft wären drastisch: Ein Blackout verursacht einen Schaden von vier Milliarden Franken – pro Tag. Für diesen Schaden würde zwar in erster Linie die privat-rechtliche Swissgrid haften. Doch den Bund trifft stets die letzte Verantwortung. Das vorliegende Werk zeigt deshalb nicht nur detailliert das Haftungsregime auf, sondern geht auch der Frage nach, wie sinnvoll es ist, die sichere Stromversorgung der Schweiz in die Hände einer AG zu legen.

Published: November 2022

The objectives of this research are (1) To find traditional healing traditions in the Batak Toba community (2) to find the local wisdom of traditional medicine in the Batak Toba community. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. Data collection techniques in this study are interview and observation techniques. The theory used to study traditional medicine traditions in the Toba Batak community is an anthropolinguistic theory, namely performance, indexicality, participation by applying three parameters, namely (1) Interconnection, (2) Value), and (3) Continuity. The results of this study indicate that the traditional healing traditions of the Toba Batak community come from natural products in the form of roots, fruits, gums, sweet potatoes, bark, wood, animals, metals, oil, leaves, and other natural ingredients. Based on the method of the treatment process, various methods were found, namely roasting, boiling, milling, twisting, while the community medicinal process was rubbed, drunk, sprayed and bathed. The local wisdom of traditional medicine in the Toba Batak community is the achievement of harmony. The local wisdom of the welfare felt by the community is reflected in treatment, namely helping each other between communities so that the value of welfare between humans and healthy communities is created by utilizing the surrounding environment. The people's habit of sharing and helping to heal each other reflects a religious foundation. The resilience of this religious value is reflected in the belief of society that all-natural products they use in medicine come from Almighty God.

Authors: Haratikka Haya
Published: November 2022

Endangered language has a close meaning to language shift. The situation when the number of that language user is getting less. Endangered language is when the children of a family do not acquire their "mother tongue" any longer. Although, they live in the location where the language comes from. For example, the Malay tribe in Tebing Tinggi. Tebing Tinggi is inhabited by three significant tribes, Batak, Javanese, and Malay. Moreover, Tebing Tinggi was surrounded by the coastal area. Serdang Bedagai and Batu Bara were the Malay tribe that dominated this area. Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi Bina Karya (STIE) Bina Karya is an institute placed in Tebing Tinggi. Most of its students come from the local area, and those areas, Serdang Bedagai and Batu Bara area are Malay people. However, they were rarely found uttering the Malay language when talking at the campus. This qualitative research will see the language endangered in the Malay language in STIE Bina Karya students. This study took twenty-nine Malay students as the informants in STIE Bina Karya. By distributing the open-ended questionnaire, then analyzing it using the thematic analysis. After analyzing the data, the Malay language in STIE Bina Karya was invulnerable and severely endangered. The most factors come from 1) the small number of users, 2) bilingualism dominates the communication, 5) parents do not play an important role in teaching their generation the minority language(linguistic suicide).

Published: November 2022

Objective: To determine the effect of annual precipitation and winter temperature on the habitat and size of the overwintering home range of two grassland birds in a native grassland in northern Durango, Mexico.
Design/ Methodology/ Approach: Using telemetry techniques during four consecutive winters (2016-2019), we estimated the size of the home range (HR; by the Kernel method) of Centronyx bairdii and Ammodramus savannarum. Likewise, the coverage of grassland, scrubland, bare soil, dead vegetation, and animal excrement was estimated and the seeds available in the soil (biomass, g m-2) of the habitat were counted. We correlated these dependent variables with non-parametric statistics, to the minimum and maximum annual rainfall (mm) and temperature (°C) of the site.
Results: Grassland sparrows used sites with equitable cover of grass, herbaceous plants, shrubs, bare soil and others (Kruskal-Wallis, p≤0.05). Overall, annual precipitation has no effect on structure and vegetation cover. The HR was negatively correlated (Spearman, p≤0.05) with the annual precipitation for C. bairdii (rs=-0.90, n=45) and for A. savannarum (rs=-0.80, n=33). When the maximum temperature was higher, both species had lower HR. In contrast, when the minimum temperature was low, the HR increased for C. bairdii and decreased for A. savannarum.
Study Limitations/ Implications: We demonstrated the importance of considering quantifying the greatest number of variables when research is required on the selection and use of grassland bird habitat.
Findings/ Conclusions: This study allowed us to increase our knowledge about the winter ecology of grassland birds and demonstrated that environmental variables such as annual precipitation and temperature influenced the habitat selection of C. bairdii and A. savannarum.

Deep-Rooted Images: Situating (Extra) Institutional Appropriations of Deepfakes in the US and India
Authors: Slater Kailyn , Rastogi Akriti
Published: November 2022

The paper aims to map institutional and extra-institutional affordances and appropriations of deepfake images through an analytical framework that accounts for the socio-political contexts of the US and India. Our main argument involves the inevitable leakage of technologies outside institutions and its redressal through corporatized comebacks. Utilizing vernacular and global examples, we trace the perceived ownership and extended modalities of deepfake images and videos. While compositing (Manovich 2006) and habitual media (Chun 2016) predetermine our deep mediatized world (Hepp 2019), deepfakes, as a visual cultural technology newly popular within the political economy of media, offer a novel entry point into locating the neoliberal ethos of both socio-political contexts and their respective apparatuses and valences of control. Thus, the paper articulates the coordinates of deepfake affordances to situate the technological power and political rhetoric that governs our international media situation across differing but interrelated socio-political contexts.
INTENSIFICATION OF HY-PLUS HYBRID RABBIT BREEDING TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Platonova Nataliia
Published: November 2022

To intensify the technology of growing rabbits of the Hy-Plus hybrid, the indicators of daily live weight gains, and absolute and relative values of feed intake were studied, and the feed conversion of fattening young rabbits was calculated for the introduction of sodium butyrate in a protected form in the amount of 2 g/kg. An intensive (42-day) rabbit rearing rhythm was used. Weaning of rabbits was carried out at the age of 36 days, the average weight of weaned rabbits was 0.922±0.04 kg. The studies continued from the 47th to the 60th day of life. The following were taken into account: the number of rabbits at the end of the experiment, the average weight for each group at the end of the experiment, feed consumption, and the conversion was calculated. Statistical data processing was carried out using the accepted methods of variation statistics. According to the principle of groups-analogues, 100 normally developed rabbits at the age of 47 days were selected, which were placed five individuals without separation from sex in cages of 0.342 m2 on a mesh floor of 1.6×12×50 mm. The rabbits were constantly supplied with water (one nipple drinker for five individuals, pH of the water was 7.4-7.6) and complete mixed feed (plate-type bunker feeder). The average weight at the beginning of the experiment in each group was 1.419±0.006 kg (control) and 1.423±0.005 kg (experiment). The difference between the formed groups at the beginning of the experiment in terms of weight was incredible F (1.198=0.29; p=0.592). When calculating daily gains and feed costs, real data on the number of animals at the end of the experiment was used. It was found that the average daily gain in the experimental group was 16.32 % higher than in the control group and during the study period was 57 g/day. In the experimental group, compared to the control group, feed intake increased by 6.5 % and feed conversion improved by 7.59 % (3.12 in the control group and 2.90 in the experimental group). The use of protected sodium butyrate in a complete feed improves feed conversion rates and allows you to quickly reach the optimal condition of young rabbits.
PHYLOGENETIC PROCESSES IN EUROPEAN AND ASIAN PIG POPULATIONS
Authors: Khokhlov Anatolyi , Fediaieva A. S. , Honcharova Iryna , Shevchenko Oksana
Published: November 2022

As a result of evolution, a gradual change in the hereditary structure of a species, not only the number of genes changes, but also their properties, frequency, and direction of variability. Changes in gene frequencies occurring over a relatively small period of time belong to microevolution. The breeding process in pig breeding is the microevolutionary processes originating from the ancestral forms of Sus scrofa to the modern specialized breeds of pigs. Genetic monitoring of the genetic systems of blood groups makes it possible to assess the genetic structure and processes occurring in populations.
The microevolutionary process of transformation of wild ancestral forms over the last 10-12 thousand years from transitional forms of local aboriginal to factory breeds has occurred with significant genetic and phenotypic transformations in animal populations. In this connection, it is important to clarify the correct understanding of the terms 'population' and 'breed'. Naturally, any breed is a population, but not any population is not a breed, especially since both population and population as taxonomic terms have different interpretations. In the first place, a distinction must be made between wild populations, in which microevolution takes place only by means of natural selection, and breed populations, in the development of which artificial selection was involved as a fundamental factor in microevolution. Depending on the level of methods and forms of selection, we have to distinguish local indigenous populations (e.g., Kakhetian and Mangali breeds) and basic factory breeds (Large White, Berkshire, Landrace, Duroc, etc.), which have been created for decades and centuries. The concept of a breed is closely linked to the size of the reproductive population and the range of distribution. According to FAO, in 2006 there were some 730 breeds and lines of pigs worldwide, most of which are bred in China and Europe, and 270 of which are regarded as rare breeds. At the same time, 58 breeds (25 regional and 33 international) are registered as common, i.e. occurring in more than one country. Five international breeds are now widely distributed: Large White (117 countries), Duroc (93 countries), Landrace (91 countries), Hampshire (54 countries) and Petren (35 countries).
Rethinking convergence in plant parasitism integrating molecular and population genetic processes
Authors: Cai Liming
Published: November 2022

The need for photosynthesis has largely shaped the body plan, physiology, as well as gene repertoire of seed plants. However, shifts to a heterotrophic lifestyle have independently evolved twelve times in more than four thousand parasitic plants. Among these parasites, otherwise rare features have evolved repetitively at both the molecular and phenotypical levels, including reduced vegetative body, carrion mimicking, and abundant alien genetic materials. Here, I propose an integrated conceptual model to describe the general evolutionary trajectory of parasitic plants and provide a mechanistic explanation for their convergent evolution. This model connects our empirical understanding of the plants’ regulatory network with classic theories in molecular and population genetics. It emphasizes the cascading effects driven by the loss of photosynthesis as one major force shaping the genomic landscape of parasitic plants. In this paper, I review recent studies in the anatomy, physiology, and genetics of parasitic plants to support the photosynthesis-centered hypothesis of their convergent evolution. Focusing on non-photosynthetic holoparasites, I elucidate how they inevitably reach an evolutionary terminal status and highlight the utility of an explicitly described, falsifiable model for future studies in parasitic plants.

Published: November 2022

The monograph examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of the functioning of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the adaptation of the international practice of financial inclusion in the unstable economy of the post-Soviet countries. The theoretical and methodological foundations of financial inclusion as a factor in the development of the modern economy are revealed and the model of inclusive growth based on financial innovations as a factor in ensuring the sustainable development of the national economy is substantiated. The conceptual foundations are identified, as well as the practice of developed, developing countries and states with transitive economies regarding the development and implementation of innovative forms of SMEs support in the context of involving women and youth in entrepreneurial activity is considered. A study of the financing of inclusive entrepreneurship support programs has been conducted, and the role of innovative financial technologies in the development of the financial sector of the Republic of Tajikistan (RT) and the expansion of access to financing for various social groups of the country has been revealed. The prospects and limitations of the use of foreign experience in supporting inclusive entrepreneurship in the conditions of modern Tatarstan are identified and the basic directions for improving the system of financing SMEs in the country based on the development of financial inclusion are formed. The economic empowerment of women has been studied, as well as policy guidelines for reducing the gender gap in financial accessibility have been disclosed based on consideration of global, regional (Central Asian countries), national (RT) trends and barriers to women's financial integration. An improved structure and sequence of implementation of the tools for financing SMEs in the Republic of Tatarstan is proposed. A system of financing SMEs development projects in the Republic of Tatarstan has been developed. An integrative model of SMEs development in the Republic of Tatarstan based on digital financial innovations and financial inclusion is proposed. Recommendations have been developed regarding state support for the development of financial inclusion and digital financial innovations in the field of SMEs in the Republic of Tatarstan.

Background Information management capacity is crucial for controlling risks from health emergencies. But little is known about how sub-national public health bodies overcome public health intelligence challenges when responding to disease outbreaks. This paper describes a protocol for a mixed-methods systematic review to fill this knowledge gap. In addition to describing the evidence base and characterising public health intelligence responses, it will explore reported facilitators and barriers to response. Methods Research on sub-national Public Health Intelligence disease outbreak responses will be synthesised. The review will be limited to articles published in English, during or after 2019. Key electronic databases will be searched for peer-reviewed research articles of all study designs. Two reviewers will independently screen articles for relevance. Articles that refer to a Public Health Intelligence response to a propagated disease outbreak by a sub-national Public Health Authority will be included. Quality assessment of included articles will be undertaken using tools appropriate for the study design. An integrated synthesis will be performed. Discussion This review will describe and synthesise the recent literature on sub-national Public Health Authorities’ responses to propagated disease outbreaks. The systematic design will limit bias and the inclusion of data from quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies will ensure relevant evidence is considered regardless of the methodology used to produce it. The review is part of a larger research project which aims to explore the role of sub-national public health intelligence during the COVID-19 pandemic and investigate how public health intelligence preparedness could be improved in the future. This could provide information to support the development of training, preparedness indicators and/or ways of implementing directives. PROSPERO registration CRD42022308042 (08/02/2022)
Bryophytes of Surtsey, Iceland: Latest developments and a glimpse of the future

Surtsey island was formed in a volcanic eruption south of Iceland in 1963 – 1967 and has since then been protected and monitored by scientists. It is the youngest island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. The archipelago is of volcanic origin, but the other islands are ca. 5 000 to 40 000 yrs old. The first two moss species were found on Surtsey as early as 1967 and several new bryophyte species were discovered every year until 1973 when regular sampling ended. Systematic bryophyte inventories in a grid of 100 m × 100 m quadrats were made in 1970 – 1972 and 2008. Here we report results from an inventory in 2018, when the same quadrats of the grid system as in 2008 were searched for bryophytes. In addition, we surveyed the bryophyte flora of Elliðaey – a ca. 5 000 yrs old island at the more sheltered north-eastern end of the archipelago. On Surtsey, distributional expansion and contraction of earlier colonists was revealed as well as presence of new colonists. Total number of taxa increased from 43 to 59 between 2008 and 2018. The average species richness increased from 4.5 taxa/quadrat in 2008 to 6.6 taxa/quadrat in 2018 (empty quadrats omitted): 32 quadrats showed an increase in species richness; three quadrats showed no change; ten quadrats showed a slight decrease of 1 – 2 taxa, while one quadrat showed a considerable decrease of 7 taxa – that quadrat was within the lush grassland of the gull colony where bryophytes were outcompeted by the graminoids. Quadrats with the strongest increase in species richness were also within areas affected by seabirds but had not been as overgrown with grassland. On Elliðaey, the predominant habitat was grassland, like the one at the centre of the gull colony on Surtsey. On the island, we registered 22 taxa; 13 were also found on Surtsey in 2018, 4 have been found on Surtsey in earlier surveys and 4 species have never been found on Surtsey. We predict the species richness on Surtsey will continue to grow but level off before starting to decrease as the lava fields disappear and grassland becomes more dominant. Continued monitoring, without long breaks, is essential to evaluate how fast the bryophyte vegetation develops in the years to come.
Xenoliths of exotic origin at Surtsey volcano, Iceland

Numerous xenoliths of considerable diversity have been collected from the tephra pile of the Surtsey volcanic island. in total, 102 samples were classified as of foreign origin and studied further. Thin sections were available of 71 samples and they were analysed with the aid of the petrological microscope. The other 31 samples were studied by macroscopic observations. Many of the xenoliths display irregular shapes and have a combination of sharp edges, rough surfaces, and smoothly weathered faces as can be expected from ice-rafted debris (iRD). in addition, the samples are poorly sorted which further suggests iRD origin. iceberg-producing outlet glaciers north of iceland are primarily in East Greenland and to a lesser extent on kvit Øya, Franz joseph Land, and Novaya Zemlya. By comparing the rock type classification of the samples to bedrock maps of the main iceberg-producing areas, a further indication on origin was established. At least 90% of the samples could be originated from Daugaard-jensen glacier which is the most fertile iceberg producer north of iceland and therefore has to be considered the most likely origin of the exotic xenoliths.
Surveying and charting the Surtsey area from 1964 to 2007

The history of hydrographic surveys in the area around Surtsey reveals considerable submarine erosion. The first survey was carried out in july 1964. Since then the Surtsey area has been resurveyed five times. The latest one, a multibeam survey, was carried out in july 2007 by the Hydrographic Department of the icelandic Coast Guard (iCG). The 1967 survey was carried out after volcanic activity had stopped. The least depth on the jólnir shoal at that time was 15 m. in 2007 it was 43 m. Depth had increased by 28 m in 30 years.

Calculations for taxes and payments are one of the key areas of accounting and the object of tax control and audit at any enterprise. The interaction of tax inspectors and auditors and their relations with tax-paying enterprises within the framework of their inspection are insufficiently regulated by law. The article is devoted to disclosing the procedures and features of the legislative regulation of tax audit in the system of interaction of taxpayers, control bodies and audit companies. To emphasize the existing features of tax audit carried out by independent audit firms and tax audit carried out by fiscal authorities, the authors use two definitions: tax audit and tax control. Taking into account the differences between the tax audit and tax control, it is recommended to legislate the concept of tax audit and tax consulting services at the level of normative legal acts in the field of audit activity. Based on the data of the conducted survey of accountants, the reasons for fines and VAT surcharges were revealed. The model of the relationship between taxpayers, subjects of audit activity and tax authorities is substantiated and described. Applying this model will increase the quality of independent audit and tax control and the trust of stakeholders in the financial and tax reporting of enterprises. In addition, it will reduce the financial risks to taxpayers and society's costs for maintaining the tax control system. Within the framework of this model, under certain circumstances, tax authorities can get acquainted with the results of audits by independent auditors drawn up in a separate document in the part of tax calculations. Quality control of an independent tax audit can be carried out by the Body of Public Supervision of Auditing Activities or the Audit Chamber of Ukraine within the framework of general quality control of audit services and indirectly by tax authorities during a tax control. Accordingly, the interaction between these subjects can create additional opportunities to strengthen the quality control of auditing activities as a whole.

Background: ‘Pregnancy risk’ is defined as the probability of dying or experiencing severe injury as theresult of pregnancy or childbirth. High maternal mortality rate can be decreased by reduction of pregnancy risk among the women.Objectives: To find out the pattern of pregnancy risk among the recently delivered women.Methods and Material: This cross sectional study was conducted in gynecology and obstetrics department of Dhaka Medical College, Hospital and Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka from January 2004 to July 2004. Semi structured questionnaire was used as data collection instrument. Collected data were analyzed by SPSS.Results: A total number of 124 recently delivered women were studied during this period. The study revealed that most of the respondent 36.3% were 20-24 years of age groups. Most of the respondents 90.3% were housewife, 24.2% were illiterate and 91.1 % received antenatal care. About 31.5% had previous bad obstetric history and 25.8% had morbidity during pregnancy. The frequent compliant was high blood pressure in 37.5%. Among the respondents 45.2% had obstetric problem during recent pregnancy and highest percentage had complaint of dependent oedema is 51.8%. About 60.5% respondents faced problem during delivery and 12.9% had history of complication after delivery. The study revealed that 62.5% of age group <20 and _>_ 35 had 3 risk factors compared to 26.9% of age group 20-35 had 3 risk factors. The proportion of 3 risk factors were higher among the mothers whose husband were day labour (59.1%) compared to service holder (26.3%) and businessman (22.7%). The proportion of >_ 3 risk factors were higher among the mother with history of two abortion (85.7%) as compared to single abortion (51.7%) and no abortion (20.5%). The study revealed that pregnancy risk was statistically significant in relation to age, occupation, education, number of pregnancy and number of abortion among the recently delivered women.

Conclusion: The result of this study would be helpful in making appropriate interventions for pregnancy risk factors reduction in terms of proper anti natal care, safe delivery system and post-natal care.
