Male and Female Instructors’ Instructional Talks in Indonesian College EFL Classrooms: Case Study of Vocational Higher Education in South Sulawesi
Authors: Dewi Surya , Syamsidar Syamsidar , Dianafitry Lily
Published: May 2020

It is believed that men are different from women in communicating their ideas and feelings through the communication system called language. This article divulges how gender factor influences EFL instructors’ instructional talks in Indonesian context. It goes over findings of a case study undertaken at two colleges in Makassar, South Sulawesi. In the study, four EFL instructors (two male and two female) of the colleges were purposively chosen as the subjects, and the data leading to the findings were obtained through classroom observation. The findings reveal that the male instructors’ instructional talks are quite stiff and typically stimulate instructor-centered atmosphere, while the female instructors’ are more genial and naturally stimulate instructor-students harmonious interactive communications. Thus, it can be inferred that while the male instructors tend to be ‘commanders’ in front of the class, the female set themselves as amicable “mothers” to the students.

Authors: Sarfraz Azza , Muzna Sarfraz  , Naeem Abbas Gilani  , Javaria Siddiq  , Saim Sattar  , Talha Khalid
Published: May 2020

Background: Cirrhosis is a pathological condition that ultimately leads to liver failure. Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) has a high short term mortality rate. Viral hepatitis is the most common cause of liver failure in our local population. We carried out this study to identity the 30-day mortality and etiology of patients presenting with ACLF using Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score predictability.
Methodology: This was a descriptive case series, conducted at Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan from January 31, 2018 to July 30, 2018. One hundred and eighty five patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled using 95% confidence level and 4% margin of error. Data was entered and analyzed with SPSS version 23.0. Numerical variables including age was presented by Mean ± S.D. Categorical variables i.e. gender, etiology of acute-on-chronic liver failure and 30-day mortality were presented by frequency and percentage. Data was stratified for age, gender, duration of chronic liver disease and MELD grade to address the effect modifiers. Post-stratification chi-square test was calculated using 95% significance (p?0.05).
Results: Majority of the enrolled patients were male (74.6%) while only 25.4% of the patients were female. One hundred and thirty patients (70.3%) had underlying viral hepatitis while twelve patients (6.5%) and forty three patients (23.2%) presented with alcoholic liver disease and drug-induced ACLF, respectively. Eighty patients (43.2%) died within 30 days of admission.The 30-day mortality with respect to MELD grade was statistically significant (p<0.001) with the highest mortality noted in grade-IV and thirty five patients (43.8%) dying within 30 days of admission (p<0.001). Grade-II and III MELD scores also contributed to the 30-day mortality with twenty three patients (28.8%) and nineteen patients (23.8%) dying within 30 days of admission (p<0.001).
Conclusion: MELD scores are able to accurately predict the short-term mortality in patients with ACLF and viral hepatitis was the most common etiology in our population. Early detection and use of appropriate prognostic models may alleviate mortality and morbidity in paitents with ACLF.

Relative Odds of Neck Pain to Helmet Use Among Motorcyclists: A Case-Control Study
Authors: Hafiz Rana Muhammad Arslan  , Muhammad Salman Butt  , Hafiz Muhammad Jamshaid Badar
Published: May 2020

Background: Neck pain is a widespread problem among motorcyclists, which is often neglected. There is limited research on the motorcycle’s ergonomics, particularly in the context of the interaction between the riders and motorcycle. Motorcycle helmets have proven to increase the weight on the neck, thus causing more burdens which can lead to neck pain.
Methodology: Case-Control study design was opted to measure the relative odds of neck pain in relation to the helmet use as an exposure. A total of 260 (mean age of 22.58 ± S.D. 1.95 years) undergraduate students were selected using purposive sampling. The case to control ratio was 1:4 (54 Cases and 206 Controls) where cases were defined as the motorcyclists having neck pain with a riding experience of more than one year. The neck pain and disability scale were obtained using a self-administered questionnaire. Chi-square and binary logistic regression were used to calculate the significant relationship and odds of neck pain amongst motorcyclists with and without helmet use.
Results: The study results showed that out of 260 motorcyclists, 190 (73.1%) were helmet users, and 54 (20.8%) had neck pain, 70 (27.9%) helmet users had a neck pain prevalence of 11 (4.2%). The relative odd to have neck pain was 2.13 times more amongst the motorcyclists using the helmet as compared to that of non-helmet users. The logistic regression results showed significant results (P < 0.05) with regards to the BMI, helmet weight and duration of helmet use but did not show a significant relation with average motorcycle use per day unless it exceeded 70 kilometres.
Conclusion: Use of helmet can be a potential cause of neck pain amongst motorcyclist users but the odds to have neck pain enhance with the increase in motorcycle use per day. The protective benefits are multi-fold for helmet use which outreaches the negative impact, including neck pain amongst motorcyclists.
Anatomical Variations of Radial Artery-Its morphology and Clinical Implications
Authors: Tariq Muhammad
Published: May 2020

Background: The radial artery is the smaller terminal branch of the brachial artery. It is one of the most commonly used arteries for various interventions. Anatomical variations exist and can predispose patients to iatrogenic injury if the operator is unaware of normal radial artery morphology. The present study focuses on giving detailed information about radial artery measurements in our local population.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study, conducted in the anatomy department of Jinnah Medical College Peshawar from 2017 to 2018. This study was conducted on 42 formalin-fixed cadavers, yielding 84 upper limbs. The radial artery was dissected and studied; length, external and internal diameters were measured. Data was entered in SPSS v20 and analyzed. Results: The mean age of the study population was 36 ± 11.25. Male to female ratio was 1:1. The most common site of origin of the radial artery was distal to head of the radius. The right radial artery was longer than the left. The right radial artery was broader in males as compared to females with a p-value of <0.05. The external and internal diameters of the radial artery decreased gradually from start to the endpoint for both the genders. The external diameters of the left radial artery were greater than those on the right side. The right radial artery had a larger internal diameter than the left side.
Conclusion: The anatomy and morphology of radial artery have many documented variations. Radiologist and surgeons should have a good understanding of normal morphological variations of radial artery.

 [Diagnosis and Treatment of Massive Pulmonary Embolism by Means of Mechanical Thrombectomy. Case Report]

Resumen

El Tromboembolismo pulmonar puede considerarse una de las complicaciones más graves en Medicina. Consiste en la obstrucción de una arteria pulmonar, usualmente secundaria a un trombo. Esta obstrucción condiciona una disminución de la perfusión sanguínea a los alveolos, lo que lleva a la disminución de  la oxigenación sanguínea corporal. Entre los síntomas más comunes, podemos observar disnea, dolor torácico y los signos más comunes son la disminución de la saturación de oxigeno, la taquipnea y la taquicardia.

Con las mejoras tecnológicas y las mejoras en la precisión diagnóstica, la tomografía computada se ha convertido en el estudio de elección específicamente, la Angiotomografía de Tórax.

 

Abstract

Pulmonary Thromboembolism can be considered one of Medicine’s most severe complications. It consists in the obstruction of a pulmonary artery, usually caused by a thrombus. This obstruction causes a reduction of blood flow to the alveoli which consequently diminishes blood oxygenation for the rest of the body. The most common symptoms seen are dyspnea, thoracic pain and the most common clinical signs are tachycardia, tachypnea and a reduction in blood saturation.

With the advances in technology and the improvements in diagnostic precision, Computed Tomography has become today’s gold standard, specifically Computed Angiotomography.

‘Raízes raciais’ do Projeto integralista (nacional) de Gustavo Barroso: o preconceito, a intolerância e o racismo para com a figura do judeu no Brasil da década 1930
Authors: da Costa Filho Cícero João
Published: May 2020

Na década de 1930 o Brasil viveu uma tensa conjuntura política, no qual viu despontar o movimento integralista, que contou com a participação de Gustavo Barroso. Figura importante no campo político e literário brasileiro, barroso propôs um projeto de Brasil extremamente autoritário, autoritário e corporativo. Chefe de milícia dos camisas verdes, o projeto integralista do escritor combate seu imaginário sobre a figura do judeu, sujeito ganancioso, apátrida, de caráter revolucionário. O antissemitismo aberto de Barroso, diferente do de Plínio Salgado e Miguel Reale, é parte integrante de seu projeto nacional. O escritor buscou entender o Brasil entendendo que o judeu era o responsável pelos inúmeros problemas nacionais, sendo necessário sua eliminação. Simpático ao fascismo e ao nacional socialismo alemão, Barroso disseminou particularidades da política nazista, propondo a eliminação do judeu, visto suas características malévolas. O Brasil dos anos 1930, nos mais variados segmentos, estava para a eliminação do judeu, segundo Gustavo Barroso.
As modas e os modos: a mulher representada nas revistas femininas
Authors: Ferreira Bruna Batista
Published: May 2020

As revistas femininas foram, entre as décadas de 1950 a 1970, uma importante fonte de referência para as mulheres da classe média brasileira. Nesses periódicos circulavam ideias sobre aparência e comportamento, em outras palavras, sobre as modas e os modos ditos femininos. Lições sobre beleza, decoro, casamento, maternidade e culinária estampavam as páginas, bem como as imagens de mulheres consideradas belas e os anúncios publicitários embutidos de artigos para a vida doméstica feminina. Todavia, a vida das mulheres nesse período mudava com a já adquirida inserção nos empregos fora do lar, os avanços técnico-científicos e educacionais. As revistas precisavam comportar o mesmo dinamismo, embora tivessem dificuldades em identificar apenas um tipo de mulher como público-alvo. Para manterem-se interessantes para esses públicos eram necessárias concepções mais generalistas. Num cenário no qual falar de feminino precisou também abarcar o feminismo, as revistas amparavam os enlaces culturais, entre mudanças e permanências, de uma época.

Necessário entender como se processou e processa a apropriação do futebol entre os que dele fizeram e fazem um meio para atender a objetivos pessoais, familiares e de grupos. Não se pode negar que, particularmente no Brasil, a prática futebolística está inserida nas relações sociais e, como tal, sujeita a novas participações, a novos sentidos e significados. Desta forma, é parte integrante das mudanças engendradas pelo processo histórico do país. Caso do Estado do Rio de Janeiro que, nas primeiras décadas do século XX assistiu a uma assustadora proliferação de clubes de futebol, a princípio restrito a indivíduos privilegiados socialmente. Os benefícios dados para a estruturação e manutenção de diversas agremiações deixaram legados sentidos nos dias contemporâneos. A documentação obtida nos arquivos dos clubes - tal como cartas, relatórios, atas, circulares e estatutos - atesta investimentos de empresas em práticas esportivas como o futebol. Criados por trabalhadores, muitos desses clubes buscaram apoio para suas atividades junto às direções patronais, apoio este material e financeiro, como cessão de terreno para estruturação de campo e sede, material de jogo, aluguéis, uniformes, deslocamentos dos praticantes, bolas, entre outros. Não sem intenções. Daí a importância da análise de documentos empresariais.
Do sucesso ao esgotamento: a política econômica do governo de Salvador Allende
Authors: de Araujo Paulo Fernando Lara Pereira
Published: May 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar ao leitor o processo de transformação econômica iniciado pelo governo de Salvador Allende que tinha o intuito de implementar as bases para a construção de uma sociedade socialista no Chile. O projeto da esquerda chilena, conhecido como a ‘via chilena’ para o Socialismo, consistia em conduzir o país pacificamente ao socialismo através da democracia, do pluralismo e da liberdade, conquistando o poder através da via eleitoral. Ao longo do nosso texto, abordaremos tanto as medidas de expansão do Estado na economia, seja através da nacionalização do cobre, das estatizações dos bancos e das indústrias e da reforma agrária, como também apresentaremos os reflexos negativos das políticas estatistas e de reativação da economia que começaram a ser sentidas ao final do primeiro ano de governo, resultando em inflação, desabastecimento, mercado negro e polarização política cada vez maior entre os defensores do governo e os setores da direita chilena.

Esse estudo enfoca a parte qualitativa de uma pesquisa quanti-qualitativa, cujo objetivo é o de conhecer a trajetória profissional de algumas mulheres médicas da cidade de Montes Claros (MG). Foram entrevistadas quatro médicas com mais de trinta anos de formadas e que atuaram na cidade. Optou-se pela análise de narrativas, sendo a entrevista o instrumento de pesquisa. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética da Universidade Estadual de Montes Claros – Unimontes, parecer no 1.501.700/2016. Constatou-se que além do pioneirismo que abriu espaço para as mulheres na profissão médica, as entrevistadas deram importantes contribuições profissionais para a sociedade montesclarense. Porém, por adentrarem em um campo profissional hegemonicamente masculino, enfrentaram questões relativas ao sexismo vigente na sociedade e que era reproduzido na cultura médica. Isso fez com que tivessem que superar vários desafios como a luta pela entrada e permanência na medicina; o enfrentamento da discriminação de classe social e étnico-racial; seus esforços para comprovar a competência profissional e para superar as dificuldades de conciliação entre a vida pessoal e o desempenho profissional. Tais achados apontam para a necessidade de as instituições médicas, de ensino e de formação, promoverem o desenvolvimento de uma cultura médica com equidade de gênero e étnico-racial.

Published: May 2020

The current study is conducted to fill up the research gap on the inconsistent findings of the ability of
market orientation in enhancing marketing performance through inserting the techno-resonance innovation capability and product
innovativeness as factors to leverage marketing performance. Five hypotheses were developed and tested in a sample frame of 121
SMEs in the region of West Borneo, Indonesia. The findings of this study demonstrate the pivotal role of techno-resonance
innovation capability in two folds. Firstly, a techno-resonance innovation capability is proved as a mediator of marketing
orientation in enhancing marketing performance. Secondly, the techno-resonance innovation capability, which holds the potential
for enhancing the product innovativeness, is essential but not sufficient to enhance marketing performance; still, another
extra effort is necessary, such as resonating the value of innovativeness to the target market.
Are Persistent Emission Luminosity and Rotation Measure of Fast Radio Bursts Related?
Authors: Yang Yuan-Pei , Li Qiao-Chu , Zhang Bing
Published: May 2020

The physical origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is still unknown. Multiwavelength and polarization observations of an FRB source would be helpful to diagnose its progenitor and environment. So far only the first repeating source FRB 121102 appears to be spatially coincident with a persistent radio emission. Its bursts also have very large values of the Faraday rotation measure (RM), i.e.,

. We show that theoretically there should be a simple relation between RM and the luminosity of the persistent source of an FRB source if the observed RM mostly arises from the persistent emission region. FRB 121102 follows this relation given that the magnetic field in the persistent emission region is highly ordered and that the number of relativistic electrons powering the persistent emission is comparable to that of nonrelativistic electrons that contribute to RM. The nondetections of persistent emission sources from all other localized FRB sources are consistent with their relatively small RMs (

) according to this relation. Based on this picture, the majority of FRBs without a large RM are not supposed to be associated with bright persistent sources.
A 700 pc Extended Coronal Gas Emission in the Circinus Galaxy
Authors: Rodríguez-Ardila Alberto , Fonseca-Faria Marcos A.
Published: May 2020

We report the first characterization of an extended outflow of high ionized gas in the Circinus Galaxy by means of the coronal line (CL) [Fe vii] λ6087. This emission is located within the ionization cone already detected in the [O iii] λ5007 line and is found to extend up to a distance of ∼700 pc from the active galactic nucleus. The gas distribution appears clumpy, with several knots of emission. Its kinematics is complex, with split profiles and line centroids shifted from the systemic velocity. The physical conditions of the gas show that the extended coronal emission is likely the remnant of shells inflated by the passage of a radio jet. This scenario is supported by extended X-ray emission, which is spatially coincident with the morphology and extension of the [Fe vii] λ6087 gas in the NW side of the galaxy. The extension of the coronal gas in the Circinus galaxy is unique among active galaxies and demonstrates the usefulness of CLs for tracing the shock ionization component in these objects.

Authors: Romanov E , Shabanova C , Nakvasina H , Popova A , Kosareva H
Published: May 2020

Increased soil acidity remains one of the important problems in world agriculture, especially relevant for the Northern territories, Traditionally, it is solved using lime ameliorants. Searching for new ameliorants that are just as effective, but at the same time are more are more accessible to certain areas is a promising direction for the development of agricultural science. Saponite water suspension can become effective ameliorant to improve acidic properties of soil on the territory of the Arkhangelsk region (Russia). This is possible due to the unique properties of saponite, its availability and the presence of large reserves in the region. This article presents the results of an experiment conducted in the Kholmogorsky district of the Arkhangelsk region (Russia) on sod-weak podzolic loam tame soil to identify the effect of saponite water suspension on acidic properties of soil under a naked fallow condition. The experiment proves the dependence of the seasonality of application, the different proportions of saponite water suspension and changes in pH and hydrolytic acidity, as well as the estimation of the most effective proportions of saponite water suspension to improve acidic properties of soil and revealed differences in the influence of seasonal application on the manifestations of the deoxidizing ability of saponite water suspension.
Unexpected discovery of a new Podonychus species in Kyushu, Japan (Coleoptera, Elmidae, Elminae, Macronychini)
Authors: Yoshitomi Hiroyuki , Hayashi Masakazu
Published: May 2020

Podonychus gyobusp. nov., a second species of the genusPodonychusJäch & Kodada, 1997, hitherto known only from Indonesia, is described from Kyushu, Japan. This new species is similar toP. sagittariusJäch & Kodada, 1997, but differs from it in the straight penis, arcuate 2ndlabial palpomere, and in the 3rdantennomere being longer than wide. The endophallic structures and the larva ofP. gyobusp. nov.are described. A character matrix of the Macronychini genera and a key to the Japanese genera are provided.

Published: May 2020

A new species and the first confirmed record of a true pygmy seahorse from Africa, Hippocampus nalusp. nov., is herein described on the basis of two specimens, 18.9–22 mm SL, collected from flat sandy coral reef at 14–17 meters depth from Sodwana Bay, South Africa. The new taxon shares morphological synapomorphies with the previously described central Indo-Pacific pygmy seahorses, H. colemani, H. japapigu, H. pontohi, and H. satomiae, and H. waleananus, including diminutive size, twelve trunk rings, prominent cleithral ring and supracleithrum, spines on the fifth and twelfth superior and lateral trunk ridges, respectively, and prominent wing-like protrusions present on the first and/or second superior trunk rings posterior to the head. Hippocampus nalusp. nov. is primarily distinguished from its pygmy seahorse congeners by highly distinct spine morphology along the anterior segments of the superior trunk ridge. Comparative molecular analysis reveals that the new species demonstrates significant genetic divergence in the mitochondrial COI gene from the morphologically similar H. japapigu and H. pontohi (estimated uncorrected p-distances of 16.3% and 15.2%, respectively). Hippocampus nalusp. nov. represents the eighth member of the pygmy seahorse clade to be described from the Indo-Pacific, the first confirmed record from the African continent and the Indian Ocean, and an extension of more than 8000 km beyond the previously known range of pygmy seahorses from the Central and Western Indo-Pacific.
La finance méditerranéenne existe-elle ?
Authors: Chelbi Afif , Pastré Olivier
Published: May 2020

Cet article, plus politique qu'académique, repose sur trois convictions : d'abord que la finance méditerranéenne n'est pas homogène pas plus que la Méditerranée de l'est ; ensuite que l'essentiel des efforts en matière de finance méditerranéenne doit être consacré aux PME et aux TPE ; enfin que les institutions publiques internationales, de même que les banques locales, n'ont pas pris conscience (dans les faits au moins) du point précédent. Faut-il pour autant désespérer ? Bien sûr que non, mais à quatre conditions au moins : (1) reconnaître, affirmer et surtout promouvoir la complémentarité démographique et technologique entre le Sud et le Nord de la Méditerranée ; (2) cibler davantage les investissements publics et privés vers des secteurs et des zones géographiques jugés par tous les spécialistes comme prioritaires ; (3) multiplier les « passerelles financières » publiques et privées étant en mesure de financer les PME, notamment en fonds propres ; (4) dans toutes les politiques avoir toujours en tête de faire des pays du Sud de la Méditerranée une « tête de pont » pour financer les économies d'Afrique subsaharienne (et notamment les PME de ces pays) qui constituent, pour les années à venir, un fantastique relais de croissance pour la Méditerranée, mais aussi pour l'Europe tout entière.

La Banque européenne d'investissement : un partenaire historique de la rive sud de la Méditerranée
Authors: Fayolle Ambroise
Published: May 2020

La rive sud de la Méditerranée est l'une des grandes priorités pour l'Europe. À ce titre, la Banque européenne d'investissement (BEI) est un partenaire financier majeur, depuis notamment la mise en place de la Facilité euro-méditerranéenne d'investissement de partenariat (FEMIP) en 2003. Ce sont ainsi près de 25 Md€ qui ont été engagés pour accompagner le développement des pays de la rive sud, avec une capacité d'adaptation aux besoins. Concentrée initialement sur les grands projets d'infrastructures publiques, l'activité de la BEI s'est progressivement orientée vers le soutien à l'emploi et au secteur privé, à la microfinance, avec une priorité donnée au climat, et toujours un objectif de catalyse d'autres investissements (publics ou privés) pour augmenter l'effet de levier. La BEI intervient toujours en partenariats. Le constat est cependant une approche européenne morcelée limitant l'impact des financements européens. C'est le sens de la réflexion en cours, à laquelle la BEI contribue, pour améliorer le schéma d'aide européenne en dehors de ses frontières. Classification JEL : O19, O43, O55.
Banques universelles marocaines : une internationalisation réussie
Authors: Jaidi Taha
Published: May 2020

Cet article se propose de revisiter l'histoire de l'internationalisation des banques marocaines sous un angle différent, peu exploré par les récents travaux de recherche. Notre analyse met l'accent sur le déploiement du modèle de la banque universelle dont le succès a favorisé l'ouverture des groupes bancaires marocains sur l'Afrique. Au-delà des motivations économiques habituellement avancées, nous croyons que l'internationalisation des banques marocaines visait prioritairement à sauvegarder les intérêts des actionnaires. Ces derniers faisaient face à un risque de dépréciation des valorisations boursières des banques cotées. À l'issue de ce processus d'internationalisation qui a duré plus d'une décennie, les banques marocaines se distinguent brillamment en offrant sur le long terme, l'une des meilleures rentabilités boursières du secteur bancaire mondial. Ce constat atteste de la pertinence du modèle de développement qui repose essentiellement sur un savoir-faire managérial de plus d'un siècle d'existence. Classification JEL : F23, G21, O16, O55.
Le secteur bancaire et financier égyptien post-printemps arabe : les bénéfices des réformes
Authors: Saïdane Dhafer , Jedlane Nabil , Abdourahman Omar Ismael
Published: May 2020

L'Égypte s'est engagée depuis 2016, avec le soutien des bailleurs de fonds internationaux, dans un ambitieux programme de réformes économiques. Le flottement de la livre égyptienne et les réformes budgétaires ont permis de freiner la dégradation des finances publiques. Ces mesures ont amélioré les perspectives économiques du pays, mais avec un coût social élevé. Pour alléger ce coût et améliorer les indicateurs socioéconomiques, on trouve le renforcement de l'accès du secteur privé au financement à travers la promotion et la diversification des sources de financement. Mais malgré le développement du système bancaire égyptien, le taux de bancarisation qui était de 14 % en 2014 est passé à 33 % en 2017 et reste l'un des plus faibles de la région. Seuls 4 % des adultes épargnent dans une institution financière formelle. La contribution du système bancaire islamique et de la microfinance au sein de l'économie égyptienne pourrait éventuellement atténuer l'exclusion sociale et financière surtout celle des jeunes et des femmes. La lutte contre l'exclusion sociale constitue ainsi l'un des objectifs majeurs du gouvernement égyptien et des institutions financières internationales. Elle permettrait aux catégories marginalisées de participer à la vie économique et de bénéficier de services bancaires de base. Ces individus pourraient ainsi contribuer à la croissance par notamment une réduction du chômage et de la pauvreté. Classification JEL : G21, O16, O43, O55.
Assurance dans les marchés méditerranéens
Authors: Benbouzid Reyda Ferid
Published: May 2020

Les marchés d'assurance des deux rives de la Méditerranée ont entretenu dans le passé des relations étroites. Ces relations ont créé dans le temps des similitudes techniques et juridiques. Aujourd'hui, ces relations au plan de l'activité demeurent significatives. Ce constat, malgré l'asymétrie importante liée au niveau de développement, montre l'utilité de l'apport des relations du passé et de la présence actuelle. Dans leur progrès, les marchés du Sud peuvent prendre comme objectif à long terme une évolution progressive vers le niveau des marchés du Nord, matures et dont la croissance est devenue marginale. Dans les enjeux des marchés du Sud, la répartition des activités entre assurance vie/non-vie, qui n'est pas liée au revenu, est fondamentale. Une stratégie et un modèle de croissance approprié devraient permettre d'obtenir des résultats d'évolution positive. Classification JEL : G22, O16, O55.
Le choix du modèle de régulation des Fintech : entre sandbox et soundbox
Authors: Branellec Gurvan , Lee Ji-Yong
Published: May 2020

La révolution technologique digitale touche l'ensemble des métiers de la finance. Elle conduit les régulateurs à encadrer les nouveaux acteurs qui ne cessent de gagner en popularité. Les pouvoirs publics sont confrontés à des impératifs complexes à concilier. D'un côté, ils souhaitent ouvrir le cadre juridique traditionnel afin d'intensifier la concurrence en permettant aux start-up Fintech de proposer des services financiers aux particuliers et aux entreprises. D'un autre côté, il est nécessaire de contrôler ces activités à risque et protéger ainsi le consommateur. La France est donc confrontée au défi de la construction d'un cadre juridique à même d'éviter de brider l'innovation des Fintech. Celles-ci étant en plein essor en Angleterre et aux États-Unis, il est pertinent de s'interroger sur la possibilité d'une prise en compte par la France des modèles réglementaires en vigueur dans ces pays, à défaut de mettre en place une réglementation différente. Notre travail tente d'apporter une contribution à cette problématique par le biais d'une conciliation entre la littérature juridique anglo-saxonne (anglaise et américaine) et celle en économie financière.
