Striking A Balance: Horizontal Shareholding Versus Consumer Welfare
Authors: Kardekar Vedant
Published: September 2024

Corporate ownership plays a substantial role in the U.S. economy. Through a variety of practices, it fosters economic growth and innovation. However, not all of these practices are truly beneficial for the U.S. economy and, in fact, actually result in negative consequences. Horizontal shareholding, also known as common ownership, is one of them. This paper will provide empirical evidence of its detriments and serve as a call to action for U.S. lawmakers to address these adversities through specific avenues. Furthermore, economic context will be provided to understand the meaning of said adversities in the U.S. economy and why they must be overcome. Horizontal shareholding has also been proven to be a consequence of diversification. So, it is reasonable to believe that hindering common ownership would harm the investment security that is created from this practice. This creates a dilemma of whether horizontal shareholding should actually be inhibited. This paper will discuss solutions for lawmakers to sustain the pros of both sides while confronting the cons. These solutions will serve as the impetus for a more fair and just economy that protects both consumers as well as producers, thereby creating a better society as a whole.

Authors: Stocco Odair de Ramos , Pires Veruska
Published: September 2024

A Educação Física é o componente curricular básico responsável por tematizar a cultura corporal do movimento, que integra diversas manifestações corporais, e utiliza o futebol como conteúdo de ensino e também de estudo. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar qual a percepção dos alunos do 9° Ano de uma Escola Estadual de Porto Alegre/RS, sobre a violência e o preconceito dentro do futebol, bem como identificar se esta temática é trabalhada nas aulas de Educação Física Escolar, e quais ações, segundo os alunos, poderiam diminuir tais atos no futebol e na sociedade. A pesquisa se caracterizou como qualitativa descritiva. A coleta de dados foi realizada em formato de grupo focal, com 30 alunos do 9° ano do Ensino Fundamental da Rede Pública de Porto Alegre/RS, por isso foi necessário a aplicação do Termo de Assentimento Livre e Esclarecido (TALE), assinado pelo responsável, além de Carta de Anuência assinada pela direção da instituição. Os resultados obtidos indicam, além da ausência de espaços dentro das aulas de Educação Física para estes debates, que a rivalidade e a competição são elementos causadores de violência e preconceito. Ainda, evidenciou a preferência dos alunos por melhores regras e punições severas a quem cometer esses crimes, dentro do futebol e da sociedade.

In the medical field, diagnosing heart disease is one of the most challenging tasks. It
relies on analyzing large sets of clinical and pathological data, making the process complex. As a result, there has been a growing interest among researchers and clinical professionals in developing efficient and accurate methods for heart disease prediction. Early diagnosis of heart disease is crucial due to its potential severity, as timely intervention can significantly impact patient outcomes. Heart disease is a leading cause of death globally, underscoring the importance of predicting it at an early stage. In recent years, machine learning has emerged as a reliable tool in the medical domain, offering valuable support in disease prediction when provided with appropriate
training and testing data. A range of machine learning algorithms, encompassing decision trees, support vector machines, random forests, neural networks, and ensemble methods, have been employed to analyze varied datasets containing demographic information, clinical parameters, and medical imaging data. To improve prediction accuracy and interpretability, techniques for feature selection and model
Optimizations have been utilized. The primary objective of this study is to explore various prediction models for heart disease and identify key features using the Random Forest algorithm.
Random Forest is a supervised machine learning algorithm known for its high accuracy compared to other methods such as logistic regression. Utilizing the Random Forest algorithm, we aim to predict whether an individual has heart disease or not

The increase in chemical product manufacturing in Malaysia contributed to an expanding array of commercialised household chemical products (HCP). These products, after pesticides and pharmaceuticals, rank among the top three poison reagents listed by the Malaysia National Poison Centre. This study conducts a retrospective review of HCP poisoning admissions to the NPC over a 14-year period, aiming to evaluate the HCP poisoning rates in Malaysia. The database of HCP poisoning exposure calls received by the NPC from 2006 to 2020 was analysed and discussed. State profiles and populationbased incidence rates revealed 15,381 HCP poisoning cases. Household cleaning products emerged as the predominant poison reagent (53%) during the study period, followed by solvents and cosmetic/personal care items. The increase in poisoning cases by these products coincided with the spread of the COVID-19 disease. West Coast states (Selangor and Perak) reported higher poisoning exposures compared with East Coast states (Kelantan and Terengganu), with urbanisation appearing to play a role in the disparity of HCP poisoning cases among states. The study recommends intensified prevention efforts and enforcement of HCP poisoning regulations as a fundamental step towards developing national poisoning preventive strategies.

Console to Movie Success, Leveraging Nostalgia, and Introducing Subversion in The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Authors: Tjokro Gunawan
Published: September 2024

This research examines the success of "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" by leveraging nostalgia and introducing subversion. The adaptation process from video game to film often fails, as seen with previous attempts like "Warcraft" (2016) and "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" (2009). However, "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" (2023) succeeded by retaining core elements of the original game while innovatively transforming its narrative and character dynamics. The movie's success is attributed to its nostalgic appeal, faithful yet refreshed character portrayals, and the subversion of traditional gender roles. By making Princess Peach a mentor and strategist and providing Mario a hero's journey from an ordinary plumber to a savior, the film connects with both old fans and new audiences. This study utilizes Andrew Tate's theory of fidelity and transformation, along with perspectives on nostalgia, audience engagement, and gender role subversion, to analyze the movie's reception and success.

LAND PROCUREMENT IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEWED FROM THE ASPECTS OF LEGAL CERTAINTY
Authors: Yunadi Teddy
Published: September 2024

Article 5 of the Basic Agrarian Law of Indonesia establishes that the earth, water, space, and their natural resources are under the control of the state, with the aim of achieving public prosperity in a just society. In developing the electricity system, as per Law No. 30 of 2009 on Electricity, land use necessitates compensation for land rights holders in accordance with Law No. 2 of 2012 on Land Acquisition for Public Interest and related regulations. Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 13 of 2023 addresses spatial planning, minimum distance for electric transmission networks, and compensation for land and buildings under these networks. However, land beneath the Extra High Voltage Overhead Line (SUTET) only receives compensation for land value, not for the use of the space beneath the line, leading to reduced land productivity and economic value. This research employs normative juridical research with statutory and case approaches, analyzing primary legal materials such as relevant laws and regulations. It utilizes legal theories including legal certainty, justice, and state welfare. The research finds that the current practice of not compensating land under SUTET, but only compensating for land value, results in economic disadvantage and lacks fairness. To promote legal certainty and justice, it is recommended that compensation provisions be explicitly regulated by law to address these issues comprehensively.

Background: Hiatal hernias, particularly those complicated by gastric volvulus, represent a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial to prevent severe complications such as strangulation and ischemia of the stomach. This case report details the presentation, diagnosis, and successful surgical management of a Type IV hiatal hernia with an associated gastric volvulus using hiatal plasty and Nissen fundoplication. Case Presentation: We present the case of a 65-year-old male with a history of recurrent epigastric pain, nausea, and postprandial vomiting, who was diagnosed with a Type IV hiatal hernia complicated by an organoaxial gastric volvulus. Imaging studies confirmed the diagnosis, revealing significant herniation of the stomach into the thoracic cavity. The patient underwent elective surgical repair involving a hiatal plasty to restore the diaphragmatic hiatus, followed by a Nissen fundoplication to prevent recurrence. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with resolution of symptoms and no recurrence at a six-month follow-up. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of timely recognition and appropriate surgical management of hiatal hernias complicated by gastric volvulus. The combined approach of hiatal plasty and Nissen fundoplication provides effective relief and prevents recurrence, contributing to favorable long-term outcomes.

UNIVERSALISM TO CONTEXTUALISM: METAMORPHOSIS OF POST-INDEPENDENCE INDIAN ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Chhabra Dr. Pankaj
Published: September 2024

India has an exceptionally rich architectural history. It has undergone various phases of architectural development with majority of them dictated by political influences rather than societal needs. It was only in the middle of 20th century, more precisely after independence that the architecture of India started its journey in the search of its own identity. That too led to the implantation of foreign ideas of Universalism in the shape of Modern Architecture under the political patronage of the then Prime minister Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru. It was an attempt to do away with historicism and revivalism in favour of rationalism with the idea of progress to project India as a progressive nation in front of the world. But, in search for this identity, the context and cultural continuity was lost to a greater extent. This paper delves into the architectural journey of Indian architecture in the Post-independence period
Can the Development of Renewable Energy Improve Total-Factor Carbon Emissions Efficiency? Evidence from 30 Provinces in China
Authors: Zeng Zhen , Mu Xianzhong
Published: September 2024

Abstract

The global temperature is exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels due to the increasing carbon emissions, and developing renewable energy is expected to be one of the most effective solutions. However, whether the development of renewable energy contributes to curbing the carbon emissions while maintaining economic development is still under investigation. Using the total-factor carbon emission efficiency (TFCEE), this paper first measures the carbon emission abatement and economic development of 30 provinces in China from 2005 to 2019. Then, based on the super-efficiency slacks-based measure (SE-SBM) model, the panel threshold models and spatial Durbin models are established to comprehensively investigate the impact of RED on TFCEE. The findings reveal that: (1) RED significantly improves TFCEE. For every 1% increase in RED, TFCEE experiences a rise ranging from 0.020% to 0.035%. (2) The beneficial effect of RED on TFCEE increases with economic restructuring and technological progress. (3) The indirect impact of RED on TFCEE through spatial spillover is significantly greater than its direct effect. Potential transmission mechanisms for this spatial spillover effect are the cross-regional mobilization of renewable electricity and the diffusion and absorption of low-carbon knowledge and technologies. The above conclusions provide empirical evidence for China and other developing countries to formulate appropriate energy transformation strategies.

Keywords: Renewable energy development; Total-factor carbon emissions efficiency; Transmission mechanism; Spatial spillover effect; Nonlinear effect.
Chapter 4. University of Marburg (1962–1965)
Authors: Schmidbaur Hubert
Published: September 2024

University of Marburg (1962–1965). The University of Marburg was founded in 1527 by „Landgrave Philip the Magnanimous“ as the world’s first Protestant university. In 1609 “Landgrave Maurice the Learned” granted a “Chair of Chymiatry” which—as yet another historical superlative—is to be considered the world’s first chair of chemistry with its own chemical laboratory. During its almost 500 years of history, great scientists worked in this laboratory, including Robert W. Bunsen, Hermann Kolbe, Georg L. Carius, Karl v. Auwers, Georg Wittig, Rudolf Criegee, Karl Ziegler, and Hans Meerwein, to name just a few. Of the famous Marburg foreign scholars were Edward Frankland, John Tyndall, Ludwig Mond, and Alexander Crum Brown who had a great impact on science in Britain, while Alexander M. Zajzev, Nikolaj A. Menshutkin, and Mikhail V. Lomonosov founded important schools in the Russia of the Tsars. Among the national science celebrities, the Nobel laureates Otto Hahn, Hans Fischer, Karl Ziegler, and Georg Wittig obtained their doctorate degrees in Marburg. It is therefore fair to say that Marburg “is by no means the least among the university towns” in Germany—at least as far as chemistry is concerned. …

Preface In the late 1990s, already close to my retirement, I was approached by my colleague and friend John Fackler Jr. of Texas A&M University with the idea to write my autobiography.

I was of course honored by the offer to join these celebrities of our field of science.

A Simple Elementary Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem
Authors:   Former Professor of Mathematics, Narayanaguru College of Engineering, Manjalummood, Tamil Nadu, India, MR Chandramohanan
Published: September 2024

In this article we attempt to describe a short proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. The Fermat's diophantine equation xn = yn + zn gives rise to an equation of (n-1)th degree, which can be proved to have no positive rational roots. This proves the case for any odd prime n. For n = 4 we use the principle of reductioad-absurdum along with a polynomial equation of degree 3. Further Beal's conjecture is examined and proved to be true.
