Trade and Natural Disasters: The Role of Institutional Quality on APEC’s Exports
Authors: Leonardo Stella
Published: January 2025

This paper examines how natural disasters affect exports of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) economies including how institutional quality (government effectiveness) plays a role in the export flows after natural disasters hit the economies. While various literatures have identified these issues separately, this research would like to fill this gap by exploring the linkages between exports, natural disasters, and institutional quality. The analysis in this paper is based on the gravity model theory which used exports, natural disasters, and the government effectiveness index data from 2003-2022. Overall, the results show that natural disasters have a negative association with the export flows from APEC both at the time when natural disasters hit and in the following year. Having the government effectiveness index above the APEC’s average has positively counteracted the negative effect caused by natural disasters, particularly when devastating catastrophes hit the economies. The findings in this paper are relevant for APEC economies that are prone to experience natural disasters, but they need economic growth, particularly from exports. Some policy implications can be drawn from these results such as in the area of export strategies, improving government effectiveness, and disaster preparedness. The key message here is to encourage the APEC economies which are vulnerable to face natural disasters, to keep maintaining a positive export performance through improving the government effectiveness.
Analysis of Factors Affecting Budget Deficit in Indonesia
Authors: Prassoga Tyo , Soebagiyo Daryono
Published: January 2025

This study analyzes the factors influencing Indonesia's budget deficit during 1996-2023. The method used in this study is Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression. The dependent variable in this study is the budget deficit, while the independent variables include Gross Domestic Product (GDP), foreign exchange reserves, exchange rates, inflation, and Indonesia's state debt. The study results indicate that gross domestic product (GDP), inflation, and government debt do not significantly affect the budget deficit in Indonesia. In contrast, the foreign exchange reserves and exchange rate variables have a positive and significant effect on foreign exchange reserves, meaning that an increase in these variables tends to increase the budget deficit. By understanding the factors that influence the budget deficit, it is hoped that the government can take more effective steps in maintaining the country's fiscal and economic stability.

Published: January 2025

The most appropriate sampling method to be utilised by 55 mm diameter tryptone soya agar (with neutralisers) contact plates to recover naturally occurring surface microbial contamination from hard surfaces has previously been determined. This sampling method was used to investigate the recovery from different surfaces, typical of those that are routinely sampled in a cleanroom. These were a polyester garment, stainless steel, cleanroom latex gloves, workstation barrier EDPM gauntlets and cleanroom goggles copolyester lens. The surfaces had been contaminated with microbe-carrying particles (MCPs) dispersed from people following exposure within heavily populated environments, and is more representative of the contamination that is found within cleanrooms. It was determined that the polyester garment, latex gloves and EPDM barrier gauntlet all had a recovery efficiency of around 70% and the copolyester lens goggles and stainless steel tray had a higher recovery of efficiency of around 80%.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze factors within the Technological-Organizational-Environmental (T-O-E) framework influencing QM IoT adoption in the food industry, with perceived risk as a moderating variable. The population in this study are employees who work in the top eight food industry companies with the largest retail sales value in Indonesia. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling method of 186 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using partial least squares (PLS), which is a structural equation modeling (SEM). Based on the statistical test result, it was found that relative advantage, innovative capability, executive support, value chain partner pressure, and competitor pressure have a significant positive effect on QM IoT adoption intention. At the same time, complexity has a significant negative effect on QM IoT adoption intention. Perceived risk positively as a moderator that strengthens the influence between innovative capability, executive support, value chain partner pressure, and competitor pressure and QM IoT intention adoption. Meanwhile, perceived risk does not significantly as a moderator on relative advantage and complexity. The practical implications of these findings provide direction to decision-makers, policymakers, technology practitioners, and researchers in developing strategies to support the successful adoption of QM IoT.

Authors: Adib Noval , Alam Muhammad Dimar , Rachman Helmy Aulia , Kusumadewi Areta Widya
Published: January 2025

This study expands on the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure on firm performance, with a particular focus on advertising intensity as a moderating variable. Using a quantitative research approach, we employ multiple linear regression analysis to examine the relationship between financial performance and Corporate Social Responsibility practices. The sample consists of Indonesian public companies listed in the LQ45 index from 2019 to 2022. Our findings reveal that concealing Corporate Social Responsibility has a positive impact on firm performance, highlighting the beneficial effects of transparent Corporate Social Responsibility practices. However, advertising intensity does not moderate the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure and firm performance. These results suggest that while disclosing Corporate Social Responsibility itself improves firm performance, the level of advertising intensity does not change this relationship. This study contributes to the understanding of the role of Corporate Social Responsibility in corporate strategy and offers insights for managers and policymakers in emerging markets such as Indonesia. Future research should explore additional moderating variables and expand the analysis to other market contexts to further validate these findings.

Published: January 2025

Nowadays the rise of mentoring concept has entered to entrepreneurship domain. Rela-tionship between mentee and mentor, which has been applied into career and organizational con-text, also is being tried into entrepreneurship education as the relationship between new entrepre-neurs and experienced entrepreneurs. Since entrepreneurship is believed as the answer for unem-ployment, poverty, and economic crisis, then entrepreneurial success tend to be measured only byeconomic criteria. Many entrepreneurship educations were designing various projects to equip newentrepreneurs in order to create new venture. It also influences how mentors help the mentees,which also emphasize to gain profits, revenue growth, and sustainability. This paradigm seems toignore psychological characteristic of entrepreneurs and to narrow entrepreneurship as the pursuitof money. This article will review where the direction of mentoring in entrepreneurship education,what roles of mentor, and expected learning outcomes from mentoring in entrepreneurship educa-tion.

Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Intensi dan Perilaku Berwisata Masyarakat serta Implikasinya bagi Entrepreneurship Bidang Pariwisata
Authors: Renanita Theda
Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan perilaku berwisata melalui sebuah model yang dapat menggambarkan perilaku berwisata. Teori dasar dalam penelitian ini adalah Theory Planned Behavior yang dikemukakan oleh Fishbein dan Ajzen (1975). Menurut teori tersebut intensi dipengaruhi oleh tiga variabel independent yakni sikap, norma subjektif, dan perceived behavioral control (PBC). Di antara ketiganya, intensi menjadi mediator dengan perilaku. Tahapan pertama adalah penyusunan alat ukur terhadap kelima variabel yang di atas. Penyusunan dilakukan dengan diawali Focus Group Discussion. Skala yang telah disusun disebarkan untuk pengambilan data. Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah 277 orang dengan populasi adalah masyarakat dewasa di Surabaya. Data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis dengan analisis jalur untuk mengetahui pengaruh langsung atau tidak langsung dari faktor tersebut. Hasil analisis menunjukkan jika ternyata suatu perilaku berwisata dipengaruhi oleh intensi. Intensi itu sendiri dipengaruhi oleh PBC. Sementara itu sikap dan norma subjektif tidak terbukti berpengaruh terhadap munculnya intensi berwisata. PBC itu sendiri terdiri dari aspek promo atau tiket harga murah ke tempat tujuan wisata, informasi mengenai penginapan di tujuan wisata, prosedur pengajuan paspor atau visa yang mudah, akses mudah menuju tempat wisata, dan informasi mengenai agenda acara di tempat tujuan wisata. Penelitian ini dapat menjadi masukan dalam strategi pengembangan pariwisata Surabaya dengan mengetahui faktor perilaku berwisata sehingga dapat ditentukan strategi yang tepat untuk mendorong kunjungan wisata.

Published: January 2025

This study focused on potential of different plant materials to release nutrients, its transformation into biochar and compost, and effect of this transformation on some chemical properties in relation to bioavailability of end-products. Preparations of Compost and Biochar were carried out by Aerobic Heap and Top-lit Up-Draft kiln methods respectively for six different plant materials (Cassava peels, Gliricidia cuttings, Maize stovers, Neem clippings, Panicum maximum and sawdust). Chemical analysis was carried out, before and after transformation. Wide variability in the capacity to release nutrients was discovered from analysis of the initial plant materials. The degree of abundance of nutrients (macro and secondary elements) in either compost or biochar, produced from different plant materials was observed. However, the most significant build of these nutrients was observed in Gliricidia-Swine based compost. Therefore, depending on duration of the crop, either biochar or compost will be a suitable soil amendment for soil fertility management.

Published: January 2025

Companies not only need to make high-quality products in the era of globalization and increasingly fierce competition, but also need to know how consumers' perception of product quality affects their decision to remain loyal to the brand. This is especially true for local brands such as Fres & Natural, where consumer perception of product quality is crucial to building a loyal customer base, especially those who live in the area. In the perfume industry, this study found that many people do not know about how perceived product quality affects customer loyalty. The results of the analysis show that positive perceptions of product quality, such as aroma, durability, and packaging design, have a significant effect on customer loyalty. This study uses a descriptive correlational method with data collection through a Likert scale-based questionnaire. In addition, consumers who are satisfied with product quality tend to buy the product again and suggest others to buy. The results suggest that companies should continue to improve product quality and conduct regular brand performance evaluations to maintain customer loyalty.

Extreme Solar Particle Ejection Event in the Last Few Million Years from Asteroid Itokawa Sample
Authors: Obase Tomoya , Bajo Ken-ichi , Otsuki Yuta , Yurimoto Hisayoshi
Published: January 2025

Unusual explosive activity occasionally occurs from the Sun, releasing large amounts of solar energetic particles. Extreme solar particle ejection events in the past 11,000 yr have been detected by sharp increases of cosmogenic isotopes in annual tree rings and ice cores. However, quantitative estimation of the event magnitudes is not straightforward, as the cosmogenic isotopes are indirect records of solar particles. Similar solar particle ejection events may also accumulate records in surface materials of airless bodies such as the Moon and asteroids. Samples from the asteroid 25143 Itokawa have been irradiated by solar winds for tens to hundreds of years at some points in the last few million years. Here, we report implantation profiles of solar particle He from an Itokawa regolith grain that trace an extreme solar particle ejection event. The implantation profiles indicate that the fluences of suprathermal solar particles were 250–1300 times larger than that expected from the current normal solar activity. Since the degrees of excesses are inversely related to the solar wind irradiation periods, the high-energy particle fluence would have been derived from a single event. The event was approximately 40 times larger than the 2003 Halloween solar storms, which is one of the largest solar particle ejection events observed since the space-based measurement of solar activity began. The event magnitude is similar to the largest events inferred from the cosmogenic isotope records in terrestrial samples. Our result provides direct evidence of an extreme solar particle ejection event in the last few million years.
The First JWST View of a 30-Myr-old Protoplanetary Disk Reveals a Late-stage Carbon-rich Phase

We present a JWST MIRI/MRS spectrum of the inner disk of WISE J044634.16–262756.1B (hereafter J0446B), an old (∼34 Myr) M4.5 star but with hints of ongoing accretion. The spectrum is molecule-rich and dominated by hydrocarbons. We detect 14 molecular species (H2, CH3, CH4, C2H2, 13CCH2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H4, C4H2, C6H6, HCN, HC3N, CO2, and 13CO2) and two atomic lines ([Ne ii] and [Ar ii]), all observed for the first time in a disk at this age. The detection of spatially unresolved H2 and Ne gas strongly supports that J0446B hosts a long-lived primordial disk, rather than a debris disk. The marginal H2O detection and the high C2H2/CO2 column density ratio indicate that the inner disk of J0446B has a very carbon-rich chemistry, with a gas-phase C/O ratio ≳2, consistent with what has been found in most primordial disks around similarly low-mass stars. In the absence of significant outer disk dust substructures, inner disks are expected to first become water-rich due to the rapid inward drift of icy pebbles and evolve into carbon-rich as outer disk gas flows inward on longer timescales. The faint millimeter emission in such low-mass star disks implies that they may have depleted their outer icy pebble reservoir early and already passed the water-rich phase. Models with pebble drift and volatile transport suggest that maintaining a carbon-rich chemistry for tens of Myr likely requires a slowly evolving disk with α-viscosity ≲10−4. This study represents the first detailed characterization of disk gas at ∼30 Myr, strongly motivating further studies into the final stages of disk evolution.

Published: January 2025

Xylaria is a large and complex genus of macrofungi, playing a critical role in ecosystems as decomposers and possessing antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant properties. This paper described two new Xylaria species discovered on fallen leaves in Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, based on morphological characteristics and genetic sequences. Detailed color illustrations and comparisons with similar species were provided. The main characteristics of X. acifer included long, needle-shaped stromata, ellipsoid to fusoid ascospores, and prominent non-cellular appendages. The stromata of X. tuberculosa had an aggregated, knobby fertile part, with smaller ascospores also featuring non-cellular appendages. Additionally, a key to 46 Xylaria species associated with fallen leaves and petioles worldwide was established.
Years of Life Lost due to Premature Mortality in Russia, 1990-2021
Authors: Pyankova Anastasiya I. , Fattakhov Timur A. , Denisenko Mikhail B.
Published: January 2025

According to the Global Burden of Disease, in Russia in 2019, the standardised rate of years of life lost from premature mortality reached its lowest value since the early 1990s. Still, it was 1.5 and 1.3 times higher than the similar rates for men and women in the WHO European Region. The authors sought to trace the evolution of the structural characteristics of years of life lost in Russia from 1990 to 2021 and identify the factors that led to such a significant gap in the level of losses from premature mortality.

Estimates of the absolute number of years of life lost (YLL), age-specific (AYLL) and age-standardised rates (ES1976) of years of life lost (SYLL) for each sex were made based on Rosstat data for 1990-2021 on the distribution of deaths by sex, by five-year age groups (0, 1-4, 5-9...85+), and causes of death (statistical form C-51). A table for life expectancy at birth at 92.6 years was used as a standard life table. Redistribution of garbage codes of causes of death and correction for polymorbidity were not performed.

Estimates of years of life lost are comparable to WHO estimates for Russia in absolute values by sex and age, while only partially so by causes of death. From 1990-2019, SYLL declined in both sexes, by a quarter. In 2019, SYLL for men was 374 per 1,000, 2.3 higher than that for women. Increased losses during the COVID-19 pandemic levelled up these gains. The maximum inequality in years of life lost for both sexes was characteristic of external causes of death (ECD) and respiratory diseases (RD), while the minimum, of neoplasms (NP). From 1990 to 2021, SYLL declined in both sexes from CD, NP, ECD, and RD. In the pre-pandemic period, there was an increase in losses from digestive diseases (DD), infectious diseases (ID) and a group of all other classes of causes of death.

The approach we used enabled us to focus more on causes of death with a low standardised death rate (SDR), such as HIV, liver disease, and pancreatic conditions. While these causes contribute less to the SDR, deaths from them typically occur at a younger age, thus raising the total number of years of life lost. The analysis allowed us to reevaluate the impact of COVID-19, accountable for 1/7 and 1/5 of all years of life lost for men and women in 2021, respectively. Therefore, if women’s life expectancy decline was more significant than men’s, the SYLL for men during both years of the pandemic was higher than that for women.

Published: January 2025

À partir de moments transférentiels d’une psychothérapie d’adolescente, l’auteure montre combien le remaniement des identifications, au centre duquel le sexuel occupe une place centrale, remplit une fonction essentielle à l’adolescence. Il conditionne les possibilités d’affranchissement des assignations parentales inconscientes et soutient le processus d’individualisation. Il est déterminant dans l’advenue de possibles relationnels inédits, notamment de rencontres amoureuses. Il implique la capacité du sujet à endurer l’altération interne, intime ; c’est-à-dire à supporter d’en être affecté sans craindre d’en être détruit ou qu’il ne soit porté atteinte aux objets parentaux.
La transition de genre comme solution à l’énigme du sexuel
Authors: Evzonas Nicolas
Published: January 2025

Désireux de s’affranchir des controverses qui polarisent actuellement la question trans, souvent nées des thèses intellectualistes, idéologiques et éloignées de la clinique, l’auteur propose une réflexion concrète à partir de son expérience transférentielle avec un adolescent transgenre suivi en institution. Il illustre ainsi comment la migration vers un autre genre peut constituer une solution originale bricolée par le sujet pour exister psychiquement lorsque la violence des messages parentaux et la sexualité infantile ravivée par le pubertaire s’assimilent à une « condamnation de désengendrement » et à une attaque des origines dans leurs fondements.
Consultations avancées de soutien psychologique en milieu scolaire : réflexions et constats cliniques
Authors: Durand Carine , Bernaud Joan
Published: January 2025

Cet article vise à présenter un dispositif s’inscrivant dans une pratique d’aller-vers en milieu scolaire. Ce dispositif de consultations avancées de soutien psychologique est mené auprès d’adolescents par deux psychologues au sein d’un lycée. Cette pratique vient soulever des questionnements quant à la frontière mince entre soutien psychologique et entretiens psychothérapiques. À travers l’analyse d’une situation clinique, nous questionnerons, avec l’appui de l’approche psychanalytique, la pertinence de ce cadre spécifique auprès du public adolescent ainsi que la posture du clinicien.

Les adolescents, notamment quand ils vont très mal, portent en eux un pouvoir de séduction transférentiel extrême, susceptible de remobiliser les professionnels au plus profond de leur intimité psychique. Ce modèle est inconscient a priori , mais il s’actualise, prend forme, dans le corps du soignant, qui se retrouve sensoriellement réveillé sur son propre passé pubertaire refoulé. Les investissements transférentiels de chacun en sont imprégnés à l’aune de leurs propres parcours personnels de sortie d’adolescence.
Exploring large language models for climate forecasting
Authors: Wang Yang , Karimi Hassan A.
Published: January 2025

With the increasing impacts of climate change, there is a growing demand for accessible tools that can provide reliable future climate information to support planning, finance, and other decision-making applications. Large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4o, present a promising approach to bridging the gap between complex climate data and the general public, offering a way for non-specialist users to obtain essential climate insights through natural language interaction. However, an essential challenge remains underexplored: Evaluating the ability of LLMs to provide accurate and reliable future climate predictions, which is crucial for applications that rely on anticipating climate trends. In this study, we investigated the capability of GPT-4o in predicting rainfall at short-term (15-day) and long-term (12-month) scales. We designed a series of experiments to assess GPT's performance under different conditions, including scenarios with and without expert data inputs. Our results indicated that GPT, when operating independently, tended to generate conservative forecasts, often reverting to historical averages in the absence of clear trend signals. This study highlights the potential and challenges of applying LLMs for future climate predictions, providing insights into their integration with climate-related applications and indicating directions for enhancing their predictive capabilities in the field.
Vivre entre les frontières intérieures de l’Irak. Quel devenir pour les derniers déplacés de Mossoul ?
Authors: Roussel Cyril
Published: January 2025

Le morcellement politique et territorial de l’Irak est à l’origine de bizarreries territoriales. Certaines portions du territoire irakien sont contrôlées par des acteurs armés non-étatiques (des milices) soutenus par des puissances tutélaires, généralement concurrentes. Les zones de contact de ces territoires ne sont pas toujours clairement établies, car elles sont le fruit d’arrangements qui remontent à des guerres récentes. Entre Mossoul et Erbil, des milliers de déplacés de la province de Ninive lors du conflit contre l’État islamique survivent dans un entre-deux territorial qui n’est ni le Kurdistan autonome, ni l’Irak fédéral. Cet article explique les raisons qui ont conduit à l’existence d’un tel interstice territorial, les raisons qui ont poussé les Nations unies à y installer des camps de déplacés et enfin les raisons qui font que, près de sept ans après la fin du conflit, les déplacés de Mossoul ne peuvent plus rentrer dans leur région d’origine.

Do Remittances, Foreign AID, and FDI Serve as Automatic Output Stabilizers in Sri Lanka? An Application of the ARDL Approach
Authors: Maheswaranathan S. , Chesika M.
Published: January 2025

For developing nations in particular, the country has strong ties to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), remittances, and official development assistance. Foreign capital receipts are crucial to Sri Lanka’s economic advancement, as with other developing nations. A thorough comprehension of the ramification of these overseas finance on Sri Lanka's national income growth is still lacking, despite much study in the field. This study strives to resolve that void by analyzing the effects of external inflows on Sri Lanka's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from 1980 to 2022, utilizing available and reliable data. An Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model enabled an analysis of the variables' relationship. According to this analysis, Sri Lanka's sustained economic growth is heavily depends by personal remittances, Official Development Assistance, and Foreign Direct Investment. In addition, the Error Correction Term's value of -0.776953 shows that a yearly adjustment of 77.69 will be made to any short-term aberrations in economic growth caused by external shocks, allowing for a restoration to long-term equilibrium. The high Error Correction Term (ECT) value shows that Sri Lanka's economy can withstand a lot of pressure from outside. Stronger financial systems, more diverse economies, and better institutions are the tenets of macroeconomic policies that can fortify this resilience. By providing actual data on the impact of monetary flows on Sri Lanka's growth, this study adds to the existing literature. The findings will provide valuable implementations for policymakers and scholars in enticing funding from outside sources.

Corporate failure represents the most severe circumstance an organization or a business entity may encounter. Consequently, forecasting impending financial distress is paramount in circumventing corporate failures and shakeouts. This study aims to construct a framework employing the formulated financial indicators to anticipate the financial distress of listed companies in Sri Lanka. The research encompasses many listed entities in the Colombo Stock Exchange, except for financial institutions. It relies on publicly accessible information from the corporate annual reports of a comprehensive sample of 50 firms. These firms are divided into two clusters, namely 25 distressed firms and 25 non-distressed firms, which possess comparable capacities. The investigation spans 6 years, commencing in 2016 and concluding in 2021. A set of ten devised financial ratios were utilized to ascertain the model and examined through logistic regression analysis. The findings from the statistical tests revealed that the model's ability to forecast accurately, in line with the financial ratios, stands at 77.86% one year before the onset of financial distress. Moreover, the model's predictive performance remains commendable, with an accuracy that surpasses 72% throughout the three years leading to financial distress. As a result, it can be concluded that the model's robustness in generating reliable outcomes extends up to three years before the manifestation of failure. Therefore, in relation to the requisite and the prevailing circumstances, the enterprises, shareholders, workers, providers, banking establishments, regulatory entities, and assessors will derive advantageous insights from the advanced framework in Anticipating the financial distress of listed entities in Sri Lanka.
