Ethical Relationship of Human and Nature in Jack London’s White Fang
Authors: Milton Ananiya J , Dhanabal C
Published: June 2024

Ecological Crisis is one of the alarming threats of humans in present times. They have little knowledge about their ethical responsibility towards nature. Their anthropocentric attitude results in exploitation of nature which is mainly due to a complete disregard of ethics. Ethics are the code of behaviour that is acceptable for the conducive conduct or living. Owing to overweening pride, they look down upon nature and fail to empathise with their ethical responsibility to save and live amicable life with nature. Jack London, a prolific American writer, zeroes in on the relationship between human and nature in White Fang. The researcher tries to analyse how humans should have an ethical care towards nature through the characters in this novel.
The Power of Climate Narratives: Despair, Hope and Resilience in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Fifty Degrees Below
Authors: Latha I , Sheeba Princess A
Published: June 2024

Climate crises have become an unavoidable dominating element in the present, the climate is changing and the exact degree to which it will change is unpredictable. Climate change is responsible for the extreme weather conditions like flooding, desertification and sea level rise. To emphasise on the severity of climate change and the consequences of it a new genre of literature termed Climate Fiction addresses the concerns of climate change on a global scale. In a growing dystopian world where climate change is the norm,climate fiction through works of art and literature addresses pressing environmental concerns to reach wider audience. Cli-fi novels and films are set in future and narrate the story of disaster and its effect on humans. To raise awareness documentaries like An Inconvenient Truth and Before The Flood, movies like Day After Tomorrow, Kedarnath, Water world play major role in humanising climate change and makes it relatable to broad audience. Some of the notable works of climate fiction include Solar by Ian McEwan, State of Fear by Michael Crichton, The Drowned World by J.G.Ballard and The Science in the Capital Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.
The Concept of Dynamic Objectivity in Mildred D. Taylor’s “Song of the Trees”
Authors: Rizwana Sanofar R , Azariah Kirubakarn S
Published: June 2024

From time immemorial, human beings have been living together with nature and utilizing the boundless gifts offered by nature. At present, human beings have become so cruel as to be ungrateful for nature and are destroying it for their selfish needs, forgetting that their actions could result in a dystopian world. Understanding the concept of “Dynamic Objectivity” is much needed to safe guard nature in the contemporary era. Dynamic objectivity means the concept of looking at nature not as a fixed entity, but as a living subject with full of life and energy. The short story “Song of the Trees” by Mildred. D Taylor showcases dynamic objectivity with the help of the Logan family, who strive hard to save the trees from white lumberman Andersen. This paper aims to establish the relationship between the short story “Song of the Trees” and the concept of dynamic objectivity.

The novel delves into themes such as the quest for identity, the gap between childhood and adulthood, and memory and perception. This research aims to phenomenologically study the effects of subjective experience and its effects on perceptions and memories in Neil Gaiman’s novel, The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
Modulation format conversion between BPSK and 8QAM signals using coherent interference and four-wave mixing
Authors: Ishida Taiga , Kishikawa Hiroki
Published: June 2024

Optical fiber networks need to transmit various types of client data with different requirements of bandwidth, reach, latency, and capacity by interconnecting backbone, metro, and local access networks. Since the optimal modulation format usually differs, it should be efficiently converted at the intermediate node connecting different networks. Among the multilevel modulation format, 8-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (8QAM) is a candidate for terrestrial networks thanks to the good balance between spectral efficiency and transmission distance. In this paper, we propose modulation format conversion systems from binary phase shift keying (BPSK) to 8QAM using coherent interference in delay interferometer and its reverse conversion system using four-wave mixing in a single highly nonlinear fiber. Conversion performances are numerically evaluated based on bit error rate, constellation diagrams, 8QAM and BPSK propagation lengths, and parameters in electrical signal regeneration. As a result, error-free format conversion is achieved for both conversion systems.
Direct high-temperature growth of GaN on Si using trimethylaluminum preflow enabling vertically-conducting heterostructures
Authors: Floriduz Alessandro , Choi Uiho , Matioli Elison
Published: June 2024

In this work, we demonstrate that GaN can be directly grown at high temperature on Si(111) substrates by metalorganic CVD without using any intentional AlN buffer, by simply employing a trimethylaluminum (TMAl) preflow. We found that n-GaN layers directly grown on n-Si with a TMAl preflow not only present a better crystalline quality compared to the use of thin AlN buffers, but also exhibit orders-of-magnitude improvement in vertical current conduction between GaN and Si, thanks to the absence of highly resistive AlN layers. Our proposed technique opens a new pathway for the effective realization of fully-vertical GaN-on-Si devices.
Sui rapporti tra sequestro preventivo e trust sham
Authors: Francolini Giovanni
Published: June 2024

Tesi
Lo scritto intende offrire una lettura dei rapporti tra sequestro preventivo e sham trust fondata sull’ottica propria del diritto e del procedimento penale, da considerarsi fisiologicamente distinta da quella civilistica. Dato conto della dottrina dello sham trust, si esamina la giurisprudenza penale di legittimità (in particolare, la nozione di “disponibilità” da essa tratteggiata e cui ha attribuito rilievo a proposito del sequestro dei beni segregati in un trust) evidenziandone la conformità all’ordinario assetto dei rapporti tra istituti di diritto civile e di diritto penale.
The author’s view
The paper is aimed to offer an interpretation of the relationship between preventive seizure and sham trust based on the perspective of criminal law and proceedings, to be considered physiologically different from the perspective of civil law. Outlined the doctrine of sham trust, the paper examines the judgements of Italian Supreme Court (in particular, the notion of "availability" and its relevance for the seizure of assets segregated in a trust) highlighting its conformity to the ordinary relations between civil and criminal law.
I presupposti dell’azione revocatoria dell’atto istitutivo di un trust (Trib. Latina, 30 ottobre 2023)
Authors: Bazzoni Giulia
Published: June 2024

Massima
Il creditore che agisce per la revocatoria ex art. 2901 cod. civ. del conferimento in trust non è vincolato dalla clausola arbitrale contenuta nell’atto istitutivo, in quanto terzo.
È revocabile ex art. 2901 cod. civ. il conferimento di un complesso immobiliare in trust posto in essere da due disponenti pochi giorni dopo la pronuncia che li condannava al pagamento di una somma di denaro in favore del creditore agente in revocatoria: l’eventus damni sussiste per non avere costoro allegato o documentato la proprietà di altri beni sufficienti a pagare il dovuto, mentre la scientia damni in capo ai disponenti, requisito soggettivo richiesto in considerazione della natura gratuita del trust, è desumibile dalla triplice circostanza che il conferimento ha avuto a oggetto buona parte del patrimonio immobiliare del quale i disponenti erano titolari, che la beneficiaria del trust è figlia di uno dei disponenti e che l’atto istitutivo non contiene indicazioni circa il programma del trust e i mezzi tramite cui il trustee dovrebbe gestire il fondo.
Imponibilità della donazione di denaro depositato su un conto estero (Risposta a interpello, 12 gennaio 2024, n. 7)
Authors: Tarini Federico
Published: June 2024

Massima
La donazione effettuata per mezzo di un bonifico bancario, eseguito da una persona fisica residente all’estero a favore di una persona fisica residente in Italia, non è assoggettata all’imposta sulle donazioni qualora la somma di denaro, prima della donazione, sia depositata su un conto corrente acceso presso una filiale bancaria ubicata fuori dall’Italia. In tal caso, difatti, il denaro non si considera come bene “esistente” nel territorio dello Stato ai sensi del D.Lgs. 31 ottobre 1990, n. 346, art. 2, comma 3, difettando pertanto il presupposto di territorialità, elemento necessario per la tassazione di donazioni disposte da un soggetto residente all’estero.
Considerazioni sul general power of appointment nella teoria dell’illusory trust
Authors: Jeni Michele
Published: June 2024

Tesi
La dottrina dell’illusory trust non apporta novità nel diritto dei trust ma si limita a esporre un particolare schema di atto istitutivo carente degli elementi essenziali propri di un trust valido. Occorre distinguere le caratteristiche meramente descrittive della fattispecie da quelle integranti autonome cause di invalidità. La riserva da parte del disponente del potere auto-attribuzione del fondo non è di per sé correlata al mantenimento di una posizione assoluta sui beni in trust incompatibile con la sussistenza di ulteriori posizioni beneficiarie. Sebbene, infatti, in alcune aree del diritto inglese tale potere sia stato assimilato al diritto di piena proprietà, tale equiparazione non è a tutti gli effetti estensibile al diritto dei trust.
The author’s view
The illusory trust doctrine does not innovate the trust law but rather describes a particular scheme lacking the essential elements of a valid trust. It is crucial to distinguish between the merely descriptive features of the illusory trust and those constituting autonomous grounds for invalidity. The reservation by the settlor of a general power of appointment is not linked to an absolute interest in the trust property, which would be incompatible with the existence of additional beneficial interests. Although in certain areas of English law such power has been qualified as tantamount to ownership, this assimilation is not fully extendable within the realm of trust law.
Rifiuto di trascrizione di atto identificativo di beni immobili in trust (Trib. Savona, 30 novembre 2023)
Authors: Muritano Daniele
Published: June 2024

Tesi
Il decreto del Tribunale di Savona del 30 novembre 2023 rigetta il reclamo avverso il rifiuto di trascrizione di un atto identificativo di beni vincolati in trust. L’articolo espone le modalità procedurali che occorre seguire per pubblicizzare nei registri immobiliari atti di trust stranieri che vincolano beni immobili in trust siti in Italia e i connessi compiti del notaio italiano. Il Tribunale, nel rigettare il reclamo, con argomentazioni condivisibili, afferma che l’atto notarile non produce alcun effetto vincolativo degli immobili in trust né un effetto traslativo dei beni al trustee, né è collegabile a un precedente atto trascritto ed è quindi corretto il rifiuto di trascrizione opposto dal Conservatore dei registri immobiliari.
The author’s view
The decree of the Court of Savona of 30 November 2023 rejects a claim against the refusal to register a deed identifying property held in trust. The article addresses the procedures to be followed for the registration in the Land Registry of foreign deeds of trust binding properties located in Italy and the duties of the Italian notary in this context. Dismissing the claim, the Court held, with well-founded arguments, that the notarial deed did not produce any binding effect on the properties held in trust, nor any transfer of the assets to the trustee, nor could it be linked to a previously registered deed, and that the refusal of the registration, which was opposed by the Registrar of the Land Registry, was therefore correct.
I poteri riservati al disponente: riflessioni comparate circa la posizione dell’Amministrazione finanziaria italiana
Authors: Pennesi Lorenzo
Published: June 2024

Tesi
Le tesi dell’Amministrazione finanziaria italiana sul trust - che individuano nella mera presenza di poteri riservati al disponente una causa di inesistenza giuridica dell’istituto, prescindendo dal loro complessivo bilanciamento - appaiono disallineate rispetto alla tradizione anglosassone in cui viene attribuita al disponente la facoltà di riservarsi taluni poteri di indirizzo e controllo, essendo ciò compatibile con la c.d. “certezza dell’intenzione” di dare vita al trust. Invero, la sussistenza di questi poteri non osta alla istituzione di un trust effettivo e genuino, purché il trustee sia comunque posto nelle condizioni di poter disporre ed impiegare i beni in trust con sufficiente grado di autonomia. 
The author’s view
The theses of the Italian Tax Agency - which identify the mere presence of powers reserved to the settlor as a cause of legal non-existence of a trust, regardless of their overall balance - appear misaligned with the English tradition in which the settlor is given the power to reserve certain powers of direction and control, this being compatible with the so-called “certainty of intention” to create the trust. Indeed, the existence of these powers does not preclude the establishment of an effective and genuine trust if the trustee is placed in a position to dispose of and use the trust assets with a sufficient degree of autonomy.

العلاقات الأوغندية – الإسرائيلية 1962-1972 "دراسة تأريخية"
Authors: م.د. انتصار حسين احمد
Published: June 2024

احتلت القارة الأفريقية أهمية خاصة  ضمن البرنامج السياسي للحركة الصهيونية العالمية في المرحلة التي سبقت قيام إسرائيل عام 1948. غير إن تلك الأهمية لم تتبلور بشكلها الواضح إلا بعد أخفاق إسرائيل في الاستحواذ على مركز بين الدول الأفرو-آسيوية ، وشعورها في العزلة الدولية، إذ ساعدت جملة من العوامل على تقاربها مع دول القارة الأفريقية وكسب تأييدها في المحافل الدولية. من هنا بدأت إسرائيل في محاولة الوصول إلى مختلف المؤسسات والقطاعات والأروقة الأفريقية الرسمية وغير الرسمية، حتى استطاعت بعد مدة زمنية قصيرة من التغلغل إلى معظم دول القارة وعلى مستوى واسع من العلاقات السياسية والاقتصادية والعسكرية والثقافية.اكتسبت شرق افريقيا موقعها مهماً في مخطط التغلغل الإسرائيلي في افريقيا. وذلك منذ عام 1956، عقب فتح خليج العقبة امام البواخر الاسرائيلية، إذ شكل ذلك المنفذ البحري لها، وازدادت اهمية تلك المنطقة بعد حرب حزيران عام 1967، بعد غلق قناة السويس، وذلك لان الطريق الذي يصل بين البحرين الأبيض والأحمر عبر الطريق البري الإسرائيلي يوفر لبلدان شرق افريقيا 15% تقريبا من تكاليف النقل عبر رأس الرجاء الصالح. وفق تلك المعطيات جاء هذا البحث ليسلط الضوء على طبيعة العلاقات الأوغندية- الإسرائيلية بين عامي 1962-1972، إذ مثل التاريخ الأول بداية تلك العلاقات عقب استقلال اوغندا من الحماية البريطانية في 9/تشرين الاول/1962، في حين مثل التاريخ الثاني انقطاع تلك العلاقات في 31/اذار/1972. قُسم البحث إلى ثلاثة محاور رئيسة تطرق المحور الأول إلى التعاون الأوغندي –الإسرائيلي على الصعيدين العسكري والاقتصادي، إذ كانت المساعدات العسكرية والاقتصادية  ابرز وسائل توسيع النفوذ الاسرائيلي في اوغندا، بينما تناول المحور الثاني العلاقات السياسية الاوغندية – الإسرائيلية 1962-1972، في حين ناقش المحور الثالث اسباب التحول الأوغندي حيال إسرائيل عام 1972.

التوسع العسكري الألماني في اوربا والموقف الأمريكي منه ( 1939-1941)
Authors: م. د. احمد ناظم عباس
Published: June 2024

لا ريب إنَّ اهتمام الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية بألمانيا في المدة التي سبقت الحرب العالمية الثانية كان  محدوداً، وكان لمبدأ مونرو Monro Doctrineعام 1923 اثر في تحديد ذلك النهج الذي قضي بعدم الانغماس والتورط في مشكلات القارة الأوربية وتبني مبدأ العزلة وحصر الاهتمام في دائرة أمريكا اللاتينية وهذا ما دفعها إلى عدم التوقيع على ميثاق عصبة الأمم، كما إنها لم تشترك في الحرب العالمية الثانية مباشرة إلا بعد أن قام اليابانيون بهجومهم على ميناء (بيرل هاربور)  Pearl Harbor وقد هيأت الحرب ودخول الولايات المتحدة فيها الفرصة للأمريكيين للاندفاع والتدخل في شؤون القارة الأوربية عموما  ولاسيما ألمانيا على وجه الخصوص, إذ أدى اشتراك الولايات المتحدة في الحرب إلى ترجيح كفة الحلفاء وهو ما نتج عنه انهيار ألمانيا. وانطلاقاً من أهمية ألمانيا في الاستراتيجية الأمريكية  فقد جرى اختيار هذا البحث الذي يعالج ولو بشكل يسير موقف الإدارة الأمريكية من التوسع العسكري الألماني في  1939-1941، إذ مثل التاريخ الأول نشوب الحرب العالمية الثانية وذلك عقب احتلال ألمانيا لبولندا؛ بينما مثل التاريخ الثاني دخول الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية الحرب العالمية الثانية واثر ذلك على مسار الحرب.في ضوء ذلك، قسم البحث على ثلاثة محاور رئيسة تناول الأول سياسة الولايات المتحدة الامريكية إزاء التوسع الألماني في  للمدة( 1933-1938)، في حين تطرق المحور الثاني إلى موقف الإدارة الأمريكية من الاحتلال الألماني لبولندا عام 1939، بينما ناقش المحور الثالث دخول الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية الحرب العالمية الثانية عام 1941 والموقف الألماني منه.

Introducción: El siguiente análisis de discurso se llevó a cabo en la universidad privada Santiago de Cali en una de las clases mediadas por tecnología debido a la coyuntura sufrida por la pandemia, donde se presentó un debate entre estudiantes de psicología, quienes presentaron dos posturas diferentes frente al tema de si se debía hacer uso o no de la cámara en las clases remotas. El objetivo es analizar de qué forma los estudiantes de psicología, presentaron argumentos a favor y en contra sobre el uso o no de la cámara para recibir sus clases mediadas por tecnología durante la pandemia sufrida por SARS-CoV 2. Método: La siguiente investigación se hizo bajo un enfoque cualitativo con un método descriptivo y diseño fenomenológico en el cual para la producción de datos se empleó una grabación de la Clase del curso de Psicología Social II del día 27 de septiembre 2021, en la Universidad Santiago de Cali, para el análisis de los datos se hizo uso del software Atlas.TI 22 web la cual permite el análisis de grandes volúmenes de información y codificarla. Resultados: se interpretaron seis categorías las cuales fueron interacción, calidad educativa, privacidad, autoimagen, dispositivos tecnológicos y comunicación. En la discusión se evidencia que el tema está relacionado con el recelo ante la percepción de los otros frente a la imagen proyectada a través de la cámara. La percepción sobre el otro, en este caso otros estudiantes y docentes implica factores emocionales, cognitivos y motivacionales que afectan la información y el juicio u opinión que se construye sobre ese otro. Conclusión: Se concluye que a través de la pandemia se evidenció que no hay suficientes recursos estructurales a nivel tecno-lógico y limitaciones en la adaptación en el uso de las tecnologías 4.0 en Colombia, relacionándose la comunicación, interacción y exposición frente al otro por medio de la cámara.

Exploring the impact of social responsibility on staff engagement in Ghanaian Universities:
Authors: Prempeh Emmanuel Barima Agyemang , Dzansi Dennis Yao
Published: June 2024

Ghanaian universities have embraced a corporate identity and are actively participating in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which is referred to as University Social Responsibility (USR). The purpose of this is to enhance the perception of identification (organisational identity) and promote employee involvement. This research examines the effect of University Social Responsibility (USR) on the level of involvement and commitment of staff members in Ghanaian institutions. It also proposes that the sense of identity plays a role in mediating the relationship between USR and staff engagement. This study utilised a cross-sectional survey methodology. The poll utilised a two-stage multi-stage sampling procedure to choose 412 participants. The survey utilised a validated questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale. The questionnaire had a Cronbach's alpha coefficient (?) greater than 0.70. The data acquired from this questionnaire was customised for the survey. The data collected were configured and subjected to Structural Equation Modelling for analysis at a significance level of p<.05 using the SMART pls software. The findings indicate that identification perception does not significantly and directly predict the mediation effect of internal CSR on employee engagement (beta=0.008; t<1.96; p=0.439: p>0.05), and external CSR on employee engagement (beta=0.002; t<1.96; p=0.443: p>0.05) in the surveyed Ghanaian universities. The study concluded that the impression of identification did not operate as a mediator in the predicted association between the internal and external corporate social responsibility activities of the universities and employee engagement. According to the findings and conclusion, Ghanaian universities should take into account several elements and adopt a comprehensive approach when aiming to enhance employee job engagement. It is important not to exclusively concentrate on employee identification with the institution. It is advisable for the administration of Ghanaian institutions to develop efficient employee-focused engagement strategies and activities, both internally and externally, to boost the welfare of their workers, promote a sense of belonging, and improve overall performance.
The worth of corporate social responsibility in SME growth to large corporate size
Authors: Seeletse Solly Matshonisa
Published: June 2024

This study investigated the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It examined the extent to which SMEs can engage in CSR to achieve larger sizes. A purposive study selected three large corporates that started as SMEs and grew to become large corporates through CSR. Interviews with managers leading CSR in these corporates revealed that CSR can be a key driver of growth, leading to larger sizes. The study concludes that CSR can be effectively used by SMEs to enhance their growth, potentially even to multinational enterprise levels. Recommendations include training employees in CSR knowledge, integrating CSR into business operations, prioritizing CSR initiatives, exposing management to CSR, and incorporating CSR into the mission for strategic status.

Published: June 2024

Dynamic capabilities in the supply chain play an essential role in improving an organization's operational performance. This research aims to see the influence of supply chain dynamic capabilities, including collaboration, integration, agility, and responsive capabilities, on the operational performance of food and beverage MSMEs in Sleman, Indonesia. The sample of this study is food and beverage MSMEs located in Sleman, Indonesia, which apply supply chain management capabilities such as collaboration, integration, agility, and responsive capabilities. The MSMEs must have been operated for more than three years, starting from 2019, so MSMEs already have a more robust supply chain network. Data from sixty food and beverage MSMEs was collected in 2024 using a set of questionnaires tested for validity using Pearson’s correlation and reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha. Data processing in this research uses SPSS 25 software with an analysis tool, namely multiple regression analysis. This analysis helps prove whether or not there is an influence between two or more independent variables on the dependent variable. The results of this research show that collaboration capabilities, integration capabilities, agility capabilities, and responsive capabilities partially have a significant positive effect on operational performance. Increasing collaboration capabilities between MSMEs and internal and external parties must be maintained to improve value from the MSMEs themselves. According to the hypothesis test results, the integration capability variable significantly influences the operational performance of MSMEs in Sleman, Indonesia. The agility capability variable significantly influences the operational performance of MSMEs in Sleman, Indonesia. The responsiveness significantly influences the operational performance of MSMEs in Sleman, Indonesia.
External factors affecting entrepreneurial financial governance strategies of the technical universities in Ghana
Authors: Ofosu Dwamena Richard , Mpele Lekhanya Lawrence , Kofi Boadi Eric
Published: June 2024

The study examined important external elements that have an impact on the technical universities (TUs) in Ghana's entrepreneurial financial governance methods. It highlights the difficulties TUs have managing their finances and the critical role that entrepreneurial finance plays in overcoming these financial limitations. A questionnaire was used by respondents as the data gathering tool in the researcher's quantitative investigation. Purposive sampling was utilised in the study to choose the 160 respondents that participated. According to the study, external environmental factors like political and economic factors, regulatory boundaries set by the state, competition between TUs, insufficient budgetary allocation, inefficient financial monitoring systems, and a lack of dynamic capabilities all have a significant impact on entrepreneurial financial governance strategies. According to the study, technical universities (TUs) in Ghana can increase revenue production, augment government financing, and satisfy their objective of offering high-quality education by applying creative initiatives and improving financial governance processes. This study offers policymakers and key stakeholders in the education sector useful insights to improve the financial sustainability and performance of Technical Universities (TUs) in Ghana. It does this by doing a thorough examination of the external environment and its impact on financial governance initiatives. Through an analysis of the effects of political and economic variables, insufficient budgetary provisions, and inadequate financial monitoring frameworks, this research highlights the imperative for Technical Universities in Ghana to give special consideration to these external elements

Efficient supply chain management is essential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana to guarantee a dependable flow of products and services, sustain competitiveness, and promote growth and job creation. The objective of this study is to analyse the current supply chain models utilised by manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana. Additionally, it intends to propose a prototype model that will aid manufacturing SMEs in achieving sustainability, growth, and future expansion in Ghana and other regions. The Conceptual framework was developed by examining variables identified in the existing literature on supplier management practices in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as inventory management approaches that are relevant to SMEs. A structured questionnaire was employed to collect data from the main source. This study employs a mixed method approach, which includes the participation of 363 respondents. Interviews and surveys were carried out with small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners and managers. The data was analysed using the SPSS (v 27.0) computer application, which involved both inferential and descriptive statistical analysis. The findings revealed essential components of the prototype, such as the implementation of supply management (SM), proficient information management (IM), streamlined distribution strategies, and strong marketing and sales strategies, in addition to customer relationship management (CRM) and effective post-sales services. Implementing these supply chain management (SCM) principles effectively can guarantee the sustainability, growth, employment generation, and overall performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana.
Psychological Impact Processing in Television Advertising
Authors: Al-Sahan Saleh Ali
Published: June 2024

The television advertising industry is one of the critical audio-visual endeavors that require brevity, condensation, and reduction, which affect the idea, image, and sound. It necessitates accuracy, coordination, and organization in selecting the idea first and then the treatment that relies on the directing style. This begins with the choices of shot size, duration, and movement, in harmony with the story or theme of the advertisement, with an expressive ability that appeals to the audience's taste, promotes effectively, and publicizes. Additionally, the director's choices of significant and impactful filming locations, skilled performers, precise editing aware of time, transitions, rhythm, and the composition of the work are essential. An advertisement maker must consider the time frame within which the advertisement breathes and identify the level of impact this frame leaves on the audience. They must employ techniques to manage the psychological impact that mimics the senses, feelings, perceptions, and reactions along with the dramatic time and the understanding of the nuances of real-time. The prevailing psychological state in the advertising script significantly influences the form and content used by the director in creating the advertisement, ensuring the desired effect on the audience, and capturing their strong inclinations and desires to acquire the advertised product or material.
A New Look at Noam Chomsky’s Theory of Grammatical Voice
Authors: Paul Kent Andersen
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this article is to argue that there are serious flaws with Noam Chomsky’s theory of grammatical voice which has become the general consensus in modern linguistics. Our arguments are based on evidence taken from the language spoken by themajority members of the Nacirema tribe in North America and differs substantially from English as depicted in the linguistic literature. The passive sentence itself has two different meanings, only one of which is the same as in the active sentence. Indefinite agents are not deleted in passive constructions. There are active sentences which have two distinct corresponding passive sentences all three of which have the very same meaning and form of the verb. In order for passive morphology to alter the grammatical status of the active’s subject and object, it must be added to the active form of the verb, since without the active form of the verb there are no subjects and objects whose grammatical status can be altered.

Este artigo revisa a doença do refluxo gastroesofágico (DRGE) em crianças e lactentes, com foco no diagnóstico, tratamento e impactos no desenvolvimento infantil. A DRGE é uma condição comum, especialmente em lactentes, caracterizada pelo refluxo do conteúdo gástrico para o esôfago, podendo resultar em sintomas significativos e complicações. A influência da alergia à proteína do leite de vaca e da esofagite eosinofílica na apresentação e manejo da DRGE é discutida, destacando a importância do diagnóstico diferencial. Exames complementares, como pHmetria esofágica e endoscopia, são essenciais para confirmar o diagnóstico e avaliar complicações. O uso de inibidores de bomba de prótons (IBPs) no tratamento da DRGE é abordado, ressaltando a necessidade de uma avaliação criteriosa de seus riscos e benefícios, especialmente em lactentes. Em conclusão, o manejo da DRGE em crianças e lactentes requer uma abordagem individualizada, considerando os sintomas, exames complementares e potenciais complicações.

The author of the article looks at the thirty-year history of teaching the Kashubian language in schools, focusing both on the program’s successes and failures. Basing on the available data, the author puts special emphasis on its shortcomings. Despite the financial backing provided by the Polish government, the teachers continue to struggle with various problems, while implementing the courses of the Kashubian
language. Among others, there are some financial problems, which are often the result of harmful budget decisions made by the local governments, as they tend to redirect the funding intended for the program to other needs.
The author of the article also argues that offering the Kashubian language courses in small schools exclusively is detrimental as far as the main aim of the program is concerned, namely: preserving the endangered Kashubian language from extinction.

Resumo Fundamento As mulheres, em comparação aos homens, apresentam piores resultados após a síndrome coronariana aguda (SCA). No entanto, ainda não está claro se o sexo feminino em si é um preditor independente de tais eventos adversos. Objetivo Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a associação entre o sexo feminino e a mortalidade hospitalar após infarto do miocárdio com supradesnivelamento do segmento ST (IAMCSST). Métodos Conduzimos um estudo de coorte retrospectivo, recrutando pacientes consecutivos com IAMCSST, internados em um hospital terciário de janeiro de 2018 a fevereiro de 2019. Todos os pacientes foram tratados de acordo com as recomendações das diretrizes atuais. Modelos de regressão logística multivariada foram aplicados para avaliar a mortalidade hospitalar utilizando variáveis de GRACE. A precisão do modelo foi avaliada usando o índice c. Um valor de p < 0,05 foi estatisticamente significativo. Resultados Dos 1.678 pacientes com SCA, 709 apresentaram IAMCSST. A população era composta por 36% de mulheres e a idade média era de 61 anos. As mulheres tinham maior idade (63,13 anos vs. 60,53 anos, p = 0,011); apresentavam hipertensão (75,1% vs. 62,4%, p = 0,001), diabetes (42,2% vs. 27,8%, p < 0,001) e hiperlipidemia (34,1% vs. 23,9%, p = 0,004) mais frequentemente; e apresentaram menor probabilidade de serem submetidas a intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP) por acesso radial (23,7% vs. 46,1%, p < 0,001). A taxa de mortalidade hospitalar foi significativamente maior em mulheres (13,2% vs. 5,6%, p = 0,001), e o sexo feminino permaneceu em maior risco de mortalidade hospitalar (OR 2,79, IC de 95% 1,15–6,76, p = 0,023). Um modelo multivariado incluindo idade, sexo, pressão arterial sistólica, parada cardíaca e classe de Killip atingiu 94,1% de precisão na previsão de mortalidade hospitalar, e o índice c foi de 0,85 (IC de 95% 0,77–0,93). Conclusão Após ajuste para os fatores de risco no modelo de previsão do GRACE, as mulheres continuam em maior risco de mortalidade hospitalar.

Resumo A doença veno-oclusiva pulmonar (DVOP) e a hemangiomatose capilar pulmonar são tipos raros de substratos histopatológicos dentro do espectro da hipertensão arterial pulmonar (HAP) com prognóstico muito ruim. Caracterizam-se por um processo fibroproliferativo generalizado das veias e/ou capilares de pequeno calibre com preservação das veias maiores, resultando em um fenótipo de hipertensão pulmonar pré-capilar. A apresentação clínica é inespecífica e semelhante a outras etiologias de HAP. O diagnóstico definitivo é obtido por meio de análise histológica, embora a biópsia pulmonar não seja aconselhada devido ao maior risco de complicações. No entanto, alguns achados adicionais podem permitir um diagnóstico clínico presuntivo de DVOP, especialmente história de tabagismo, uso de drogas quimioterápicas, exposição a solventes orgânicos (particularmente tricloroetileno), baixa capacidade de difusão do monóxido de carbono (DLCO), dessaturação ao esforço e evidências de doença venosa sem doença cardíaca esquerda no exame de imagem, manifestada por uma tríade clássica de opacidades em vidro fosco, linhas septais, e linfadenopatias. O transplante pulmonar é o único tratamento eficaz e os pacientes devem ser encaminhados no momento do diagnóstico, devido à rápida progressão da doença e ao prognóstico ruim. Apresentamos o caso de um homem de 58 anos com HAP com características de envolvimento venoso/capilar em que a suspeita clínica, o pronto diagnóstico e o encaminhamento precoce para transplante pulmonar foram determinantes para um bom desfecho.

Abstract Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) and pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis are rare types of histopathological substrates within the spectrum of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with a very poor prognosis. They are characterized by a widespread fibroproliferative process of the small caliber veins and/or capillaries with sparing of the larger veins, resulting in a pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension phenotype. Clinical presentation is unspecific and similar to other PAH etiologies. Definitive diagnosis is obtained through histological analysis, although lung biopsy is not advised due to a higher risk of complications. However, some additional findings may allow a presumptive clinical diagnosis of PVOD, particularly a history of smoking, chemotherapy drug use, exposure to organic solvents (particularly trichloroethylene), low diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), exercise induced desaturation, and evidence of venous congestion without left heart disease on imaging, manifested by a classical triad of ground glass opacities, septal lines, and lymphadenopathies. Lung transplant is the only effective treatment, and patients should be referred at the time of diagnosis due to the rapid progression of the disease and associated poor prognosis. We present a case of a 58-year-old man with PAH with features of venous/capillary involvement in which clinical suspicion, prompt diagnosis, and early referral for lung transplantation were determinant factors for the successful outcome.

Abstract Background An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) can cause high levels of anxiety and depression, resulting in negative effects on quality of life. Objectives To evaluate the quality of life, anxiety, and acceptance of the ICD using standardized measurement instruments and identify predictors of better responses for each of the outcomes studied. Method This is a prospective cohort study with patients undergoing initial ICD implantation or reoperation to maintain the device. The study outcomes included quality of life, anxiety, and acceptance of the ICD. The change in scores (30 and 180 days) was assessed using the minimal important difference (MID). Univariate analysis and the multivariate logistic regression model were used to identify predictors of better responses, adopting a significance level of 5%. Results A total of 147 patients were included between January/2020 to June/2021, with a mean age of 55.3 ± 13.4 years and a predominance of males (72.1%). The MID for quality of life, anxiety, and ICD acceptance were observed in 33 (22.4%), 36 (24.5%) and 43 (29.3%) patients, respectively. Age equal to or greater than 60 years (OR=2.5; 95%CI=1.14-5.53; p=0.022), absence of atrial fibrillation (OR=3.8; 95%CI=1.26-11.63; p=0.017) and female gender (OR=2.2; 95%CI=1.02-4.97; p=0.045) were independent predictors of better responses to quality of life, anxiety and acceptance of the ICD, respectively. Conclusion The identification of predictors for better quality of life scores, anxiety, and acceptance of the device can support the implementation of specific care for patients with a greater chance of presenting unfavorable results.
