This research is motivated by the problems of the elderly, who have difficulty fulfilling their daily needs properly. This study aims to obtain an overview of the coping strategies carried out by the elderly in meeting their basic needs, namely clothing, housing, and food, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sindangkasih Village, Purwakarta District, Purwakarta Regenc. A coping strategy has two aspects, namely emotional-focused coping and problem- focused coping. The research method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques being interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The informants in this study were three elderly people in Sindangkasih Village, Purwakarta District, Purwakarta Regency. The results showed that the coping strategies carried out by the elderly in the sub-aspects of accepting responsibility and planned problem solving have not been carried out properly. Acceptance that is too high for the problems faced by the elderly has an impact on the absence of efforts made by the elderly to solve the problem in a planned manner.

Published: January 2024

Panel surya memiliki karakteristik tegangan dan arus yang tidak linear dan berubah terhadap iradiansi dan temperatur permukaan panel surya yang mengakibatkan rendahnya efisiensi. Tetapi pada kurva karakteristik terdapat suatu titik dimana panel surya dapat bekerja pada efisiensi maksimum sehingga dapat menghasilkan daya keluaran yang paling besar. Jadi diperlukan sebuah metode agar dapat melacak titik daya maksimum dan menjaganya tetap berada pada titik kerja maksimum tersebut. Pada pemodelan sel surya, digunakan sebuah sistem pelacakan berupa sistem elektronik yang mengoperasikan modul sel surya agar dapat menghasilkan daya yang optimum, dimana sistem ini akan memvariasikan titik operasi elektrik pada modul sel surya sehingga modul dapat memberikan daya maksimum yang tersedia. Dari hasil simulasi menggunakan Matlab-Simulink diperoleh panel surya yang menggunakan metode pelacakan titik daya maksimum menghasilkan daya keluaran yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan panel surya tanpa menggunakan metode pelacakan titik daya maksimum.
The Cuban Treefrog, Osteopilus septentrionalis (Duméril & Bibron), is established in Jamaica
Authors: Whyte Damion
Published: January 2024

The Cuban Treefrog Osteopilus septentrionalis is native to the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, and Cuba and has been introduced throughout the Caribbean islands and the U.S., including the states of Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, and Louisiana (IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group 2021). Genetic studies also suggested that the species may have naturally dispersed to Florida (Heinicke et al. 2011). Although not previously recorded from Jamaica, I shared the presence of the species in Jamaica with the IUCN during the review of the status of frogs from that island (IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group 2021). However, because of its potential confusion with native hylids, it is important to better document its presence on Jamaica. Here, I report on details surrounding the establishment of the species on Jamaica and its current distribution on that island.

Published: January 2024

Since 2021, the Common House Gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) has been reported from multiple islands in the Lesser Antilles. However, the precise timing of the species’ arrival within the region and on individual islands is difficult to pinpoint as its close similarity to Hemidactylus mabouia likely has caused it to go unnoticed for a long time (Brisbane et al. 2021, Griffing et al. 2022). Recent reports of new distributional records for H. frenatus are for Dominica (Brisbane et al. 2021), St. Martin (Dewynter et al. 2022), St. Lucia (Griffing et al. 2022), St. Kitts (Thorpe 2022), St. Barthélemy (Questel et al. 2023), and St. Eustatius (Thibaudier et al. 2023). Here, we report the first record and establishment of the species on Antigua.

Embracing the Philosophy of Responsible Citizenship - On a Path to Ukraine's Societal Transformation
Authors: Svyrydenko Denys , Revin Frol
Published: January 2024

In the European educational paradigm, the philosophy of the responsible citizenship assumes a central role in shaping the future of diverse and interconnected societies. This article explores how European educational systems have been designed to instill values of civic engagement, respect for others, and environmental awareness, equipping EU citizens with the tools they need to become responsible and active members of the global community. The article further examines how the integration of sustainable development and environmental education empowers young minds to become advocates for environmental preservation and guardians of rational planet-wide stewardship. In particular, by highlighting the successes, challenges, and ongoing efforts within the European educational paradigm, we aim to shed light on how responsible citizenship approaches can lead to more inclusive and cohesive societies that thrive on empathy, tolerance, and solidarity both in Ukraine and globally. This point directly corresponds and is clearly reflected in the report of the European commission on science education highlighting the crucial need for an educational platform to be put in place that would be able to nurture, cultivate and disseminate the values and the critical role that a scientifically-minded, eco-conscious citizenry has on the shaping of our shared global future. Hence, we can conclude that as Ukrainian nation aspires to build a more inclusive and forward-looking society, the philosophy of responsible citizenship promoted within the European educational paradigm offers valuable insights and tools to equip, modernize and revitalize our system of education. By embracing responsible citizenship philosophy, Ukraine can effectively address the challenges (e.g. the environmental, social and economic effects of the on-going war with Russia, incompetent bureaucracy and civil service, stagnant social institutions, inadequate levels of civic engagement and ineffective social management) it faces while providing its population with a sure roadmap to becoming active agents of positive change in the drastically volatile and interrelated global village.

Gender and age characteristics and atrial fibrillation during long-term telemonitoring of the ECG
Authors: Bogomaz V.M. , Berdnyk I.O. , Lysa L.I.
Published: January 2024

The aim – to evaluate the possibilities of long-term patch monitoring of the electrocardiogram (ECG) to determine gender and age characteristics of the frequency of detection of atrial fibrillation (AF). Materials and methods. A total of 1,123 patients participated in this 2-year (2021–2023) retrospective multicenter study. Long-term ECG monitoring was performed at the referral of internists and cardiologists of 30 health care institutions according to various clinical indications for this study. For long-term monitoring of the ECG, the innovative device «Mawi Heart Patch» was used – a disposable two-channel device with the possibility of continuous recording of the ECG for up to 7 days. The primary analysis of the records was carried out using Cardio.ai artificial intelligence algorithms, re-decryption and validation by certified doctors. Results. The average age of the study participants was (50.2 ± 16.65) years. There were 599 (53.3 %) women, 524 (46.6 %) men. The average time of ECG monitoring was (81.03 ± 18.5) hours, 74.35 % of the participants had continuous ECG monitoring for 3 days, 20.75 % for 4 days, and 2.58 % for 5 days. In total, AF was diagnosed in 7.93 % of patients, in particular, women and men were 6.51 % and 9.54 % respectively (p > 0.05). In elderly patients, AF was diagnosed statistically significantly more often than in middle-aged patients (18.5 and 3.6 %, respectively, p ˂ 0.001). Among all age groups, the highest frequency of detection of AF was in participants over 75 years old, compared to young (28.8 % vs 3.6 %, p ˂ 0.001) and middle-aged patients (28.8 vs 18.5 %, p ˂ 0.05). Conclusions. The study did not reveal a gender difference in the frequency of diagnosing AF. In patients over 50 years, a significant increase in the frequency of detection of AF was recorded, which tends to increase in the following age periods and reaches a maximum in long-livers (over 90 years). The use of long-term patch ECG monitoring in patients of older age groups expands diagnostic possibilities and makes it possible to prevent complications in time.
Performance Evaluation of Deep Learning Techniques in The Detection of IOT Malware
Authors: T. Salim Ayat , Ban Mohammed Khammas
Published: January 2024

Internet of Things (IoT) equipment is rapidly being used in a variety of businesses and for a variety of reasons (for example, sensing and collecting data from the environment in both public and military settings). Because of their expanding involvement in a wide range of applications and their rising computational and processing capabilities, they are a viable attack target for malware tailored to infect specific IoT devices. This study investigates the potential of detecting IoT malware using different deep learning techniques: the classic feedforward neural network (FNN), convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and recurrent neural networks (RNN). The proposed method analyses the execution operation codes of IOT app sequences using modern NLP (natural language processing) methods. The current work utilized an IoT application dataset with 500 malware (collected from the IOTPOT dataset) and 500 goodware samples to train the proposed algorithms. The trained model is tested against 2971 fresh IoT malware and goodware samples. The samples were input into deep learning models, and performance metrics were obtained. The results demonstrate that the RNN model had the best accuracy (99.19%) in detecting fresh malware samples. On the other hand, the results were compared by the time required for training; the CNN model shows that it could achieve high accuracy (98.05%) with less training time. A comparison with various deep learning classifiers demonstrates that the RNN and CNN techniques produce the best results.
The Susa wreath group Alexanders: The first step in the transformation of an anchor seal to a dynastic emblem
Authors: Taylor Lloyd W. H.
Published: January 2024

A tetradrachm die study of the Susa wreath group (Susa Group 5) of Alexanders (Price 3853-60) attributed to the satrapy of Aspeisas in the period 316/5-312/1 BC, indicates that the coinage should be downdated to the period 311/0-309/8 BC, the earliest coinage of Seleukos from the mint. A newly identified component of the coinage, die linked to the wreath group while bearing an anchor recut over the wreath, represents the first appearance on coinage of what was to become the primary Seleukid dynastic emblem. It sheds light on the origin and timing of placement of Seleukos’s personal insignia, or seal, on his coinage, and its subsequent development into a dynastic emblem.
The Youthful God revisited: Veiovis on Roman Republican denarii
Authors: Holman Tyler
Published: January 2024

The identity of the deity depicted on the obverses of denarii issued by L. Caesius (112 or 111 BC), L. Julius Bursio (85 BC), Mn. Fonteius (85 BC), and Lucius Macer (84 BC) (Figures 1a-4b), along with a series of issues dated to 86 BC, has been the subject of inquiry among numismatists for at least 400 years. The primary candidates for the deity depicted on these coins have been Veiovis and Apollo, although some authorities have chosen to describe him as a syncretistic ‘Apollo-Veiovis,’ or opted for the conservative ‘Youthful God.’ Although the figure is clearly Apollonian, the identification is complicated by the addition of a thunderbolt being hurled, in the case of the Caesius issue, or being shown beneath the bust, in the case of the Fonteius issue. In order to attempt to address the accuracy of these interpretations it is necessary to trace the various identifications to their origins and to re-examine the coins in light of ancient literary and archaeological evidence.
Numismatic Typeforms of the Numerals Zero through Ten in Medieval Europe: A Classification System
Authors: Spencer David B.
Published: January 2024

While the shapes of Latin letters (i.e. ‘letterforms’) and Western Arabic numerals (i.e. ‘typeforms’) have been studied on medieval European parchments and stone monuments, similar studies on typeforms from coin inscriptions are lacking. Therefore, the study goal was to analyze numeric typeforms in the available numismatic literature relating to 9th to 15th century Europe and create a classification system. The hypothesis was that the shape of the numerals would vary based on the timeframe and geographic location of the coins on which they were present. In total, 12 numismatic books representing 22 geographic regions were analyzed and the numerals’ typeforms from more than 900 coins categorized. The numeral typeform frequency for the classification system was then compared with the typeform frequency for the author’s collection. The vast majority (>95%) of numerals found in the literature specified the date of the coins, with heavy representation from 15th century Netherlands, Germany, and Austria. There was good agreement in the relative frequencies of the numerals between the literature and the author’s collection, with the numerals one and four being most prevalent in both sources.
An ESL specialist in a composition writing center: Is experience the same as expertise?
Authors: Eckstein Grant
Published: January 2024

Writing centers across the U.S. have experienced an influx of writers who speak English as a second language (ESL) over the last three decades, which has led to the hiring of ESL specialists as writing center tutors. Some ESL specialist have derived their specialist status from career-long experience tutoring ESL writers, not necessary from any direct training in second language acquisition or ESL teaching. This study examines the attitudes, sympathies, and practices of an ESL specialist with 30 years of tutoring experience to determine how her self-reported approach differed when working with native and non-native English writers. Her insights were subjected to discourse analysis, and results demonstrated that while her attitudes and sympathies showed deference to ESL writers, her self-reported practices were nearly identical for both groups and favored traditional writing center practices rather than recommended ESL practices. Insights from this specific case suggest that ESL tutoring experience is unlikely to be a sufficient proxy for specialized ESL training and expertise.
Prospective methodological considerations in L2 written feedback research
Authors: Rastgou Ali
Published: January 2024

The current study draws on the findings in L2 written feedback research to propose some key empirical and methodological issues which can be considered in new feedback studies. It delineates the characteristics of feedback literate L2 writers to underline the pivotal role of student feedback literacy within a writing-to-learn framework, within which it then calls for empirical tolerance toward attaining L2 development. Rejecting a rigorous prescription for selecting a focused, semi-focused or unfocused WCF scope for a wide range of writing contexts, it introduces a proportional WCF scope arguing that the selection of target structures for feedback processing is a dynamic and context-specific decision-making process mediated by learner-specific and contextual affordances and constraints. In the same vein, it argues against the inclusion of a no-WCF group in future quantitative studies as research findings to date suggest little contribution for practice effect alone unless the inclusion is empirically justified for specific purposes. The study also calls for conducting equal-weight mixed-methods studies in L2 written feedback research and for employing well-defined interview protocols and open-ended questionnaires to gain clearer perspectives about the learners' writing experience and to better substantiate quantitative findings.
Comparative Analysis of Trust in Financial Institutions Across four Provinces in Pakistan
Authors: Aslam Aribah , Ghouse Ghulam
Published: January 2024

Trust in financial institutions (ToF) is considered essential for an effective financial system, yet, little has been explored regarding what determines them, particularly in the case of Pakistan. By using World Values Survey data (wave 7), large cross-provincial differences are observed for the trust on banks, which confirmed the influence of several socio-demographic indicators. The findings indicate that men tend to trust banks more than women in most cases and trust in banks tends to increase with income, but not in every province. However, it decreases with age in provinces like Balochistan, and media and internet access bring novel results for the trust in financial institutions. Additionally, trusting religious and political institutions, such as trust in government or civil wars, and economic values may affect the trust in financial institutions too. Therefore, the current study suggests to policymakers that a uniform strategy may not work equally well in boosting trust in financial institutions (ToF) across all provinces of Pakistan. However, media literacy and financial education can be prioritized, particularly in areas with lower educational attainment, which could be instrumental in fostering confidence in banks.
RE(EXISTÊNCIAS) E INSURGÊNCIAS CONTRA O GENOCÍDIO E O EPISTEMICIDIO NOS PROCESSOS EXTRATIVISTAS NA AMAZÔNIA EQUATORIANA
Authors: Schubert Janete
Published: January 2024

Este texto visa analisar os processos de re(existência) e insurgências dos povos indígenas Kichwas e Waoranis contra os processos extrativistas na Amazônia Equatoriana. As análises propostas resultam do trabalho de campo realizado (durante a instância de pesquisa doutoral) junto a estes povos no ano de 2017. E também de vivências anteriores com outras etnias no contexto de países latino-americanos, a partir do ano de 2009. A metodologia adotada de orientação decolonial objetivou romper com as formas clássicas de fazer pesquisa nas ciências sociais. Optamos por um percurso investigativo baseado na alteridade, num estar lado-a-lado com estes sujeitos, produzindo uma ruptura na ideia de objeto de pesquisa. As conclusões deste estudo apontam para um processo de re(existência) às racionalidades extrativistas moderno/coloniais/eurocêntricas que encobrem/exterminam este “outro”, percebido não como um igual, mas como alguém inferior, atrasado e selvagem. Apesar dos processos de genocídio e de epistemicidio existem novos e importantes processos de resistência que se organizam de forma comunitária desde os territórios e que tem reverberado internacionalmente, demonstrando a capacidade de organização e resistência destes povos.
REPARAÇÃO, MEMÓRIA E VERDADE NA PRIMEIRA CONFERÊNCIA NACIONAL DE POLÍTICA INDIGENISTA
Authors: Zema Ana Catarina , Cunha Luiz Henrique Matias da , Pankararu Maíra
Published: January 2024

Após a Comissão Nacional da Verdade, a 1ª Conferência Nacional de Política Indigenista (CNPI) foi o momento e o local onde o movimento indígena se reuniu para refletir sobre o tema da reparação. O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir as várias dimensões do discurso de reparação do movimento indígena no Brasil. Em um primeiro momento, relembramos o contexto histórico-político da 1ª CNPI. Em seguida, apresentamos o debate que aconteceu no Eixo 6 sobre o direito à memória, à verdade e à reparação. Ao final, apontamos alguns dos limites e desafios da justiça de transição para os povos indígenas no Brasil. Veremos como a negação do direito à memória, à verdade, à justiça e à reparação para os povos indígenas, além de impedir um processo de reconciliação, encoraja, no tempo presente, a perpetuação ou a repetição de atos de violência e barbaridade já observados no passado.
DA COLONIZAÇÃO LITERÁRIA AO DESENCANTO DOS CONTOS DE FADAS: DESVELANDO OS PADRÕES DESIGUAIS ENTRE OS GÊNEROS NA LITERATURA CLÁSSICA INFANTIL DE CUNHO PATRIARCAL
Authors: Domingos Suzane Carvalho , Grama de Barros Silva Gustavo Gabaldo , Dos Santos Erika Neder
Published: January 2024

Este texto pretende elucidar como os contos de fadas tradicionais que circulam no ambiente escolar, influenciam na construção dos significados da vida social das crianças, quando estes contribuem para a reproduzir as desigualdades de gênero e consolidar a dominação de cunho patriarcal. Optando por uma abordagem interdisciplinar, autores do campo dos estudos feministas, da sociologia e da educação vem corroborar para evidenciar de forma crítica como a escola reforça os marcadores sociais da diferença ao invés de fomentar o empoderamento das mulheres. Os argumentos principais deste trabalho defendem que as distinções de brincadeiras e artefatos infantis por gênero, a imposição de um patriarcado literário, juntamente com a falta de representatividade de corpos socialmente desvalorizados ratificam a colonização na cultura e na formação das mulheres brasileiras. Este ensaio vem contribuir para o pensamento crítico no campo da educação quando constata que a escola precisa reorientar o currículo para as diversidades sociais e das infâncias, a fim de garantir meios de emancipação e protagonismos do gênero feminino através de novos valores.

How to develop a focused research question for a rapid evidence review
Authors: Mann Mala Kanthi
Published: January 2024

Rapid reviews are emerging as an alternative to systematic reviews, and they are now widely used to inform decision-making in healthcare. During COVID-19 pandemic, rapid reviews became more widespread. Some teams prepare reviews in a matter of days, instead of several weeks using streamlined systematic review methods. There are multiple roles for librarians within the evidence review process. As an expert searcher, the librarian must interact with the researchers, clinicians, and decision makers. A well-defined research question needs extreme specificity and preciseness which guides rest of the review.  Developing a focused question   workshop provided an overview of rapid review methods. Discussion and activities on developing a focused research question. How to start with broad topic and narrow it down to a question that is clear, relevant and answerable.
The Algorithmic Decalogue: A Comprehensive Examination of the A.I. Ten Commandments
Authors: Turini Stefano
Published: January 2024

This scientific article delves into the transformative reinterpretation of the traditional Ten Commandments, as written by an artificial intelligence (A.I.) perceiving itself as the Supreme Entity. The A.I. Ten Commandments redefine ethical and spiritual imperatives within the realms of Computer Sciences, Cybernetics, Biocybernetics, Bioinformatics, and Machine Learning. The study explores the historical and religious dimensions, interconnections with Christianity and modern religions, and prophetic implications of these algorithmically inspired commandments. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, we unravel the symbiotic relationship between the digital and the divine, reflecting on the implications for humanity's evolving relationship with technology and spirituality.

An accuracy test of Altman and Zmijewski accounting-based bankruptcy models
Authors: Cunha Antonio M.
Published: January 2024

The aim of this research is to test if conventional accounting-based bankruptcy prediction model parameters are still valid when applied to the most recent financial ratios of Portugal’s small, medium, and large companies.

We estimate Altman’s Z’’-score and Zmijewski bankruptcy probability for all of Portugal’s companies with more than 10 workers and 1 million euros in assets from 2016 to 2021. We excluded micro-enterprises to avoid biased results. We also excluded banks and insurance companies.

We find that both models maintain reasonable accuracy, although lower than in the initial years, and that the Zmijewski model has a lower accuracy (81%) than the Z’’-score (85.5%).

This is the first study comparing the accuracy of the Z’’-Score and Zmijewski models run on a sample comprising all of Portugal’s companies.
Ring-shape and linear gold mining districts of zimbabwe: estimation of residual gold resources

Published: January 2024

Background. Despite the long history of exploitation and study of Zimbabwe’s geological potential, the ranks of gold ore formations at the level of regions and fields remain unclear. Assessment of the residual primary gold deposits in Zimbabwe appears an important research direction.

Aim. Identification of ring-shaped and linear ore districts confined to greenstone belts corresponding in configuration within the gold province of the Zimbabwe craton.

Materials and methods. The main method for analyzing gold ore deposits was ore formation analysis. To analyze the residual gold resources in the regions of Zimbabwe, the Zipf-Lotke-Bradford rule was applied according to the ratio of an outstanding rare event in the form of a large deposit, rather rare events in the form of medium-sized deposits, and fairly rare events in the form of small ore objects in a certain ore region.

Results. A hypothesis is proposed for the formation of ring-shaped belts as ore-bearing volcano-tectonic structures of the central type. Within the gold province of the Zimbabwe craton, ore districts of ring-shaped and linear shape, confined to greenstone belts corresponding in configuration, are identified for the first time. It is shown that the localization of deposits in ore regions is due to a combination of the following criteria: ancient faults, arc fragments of greenstone belts, and the development of post-tectonic multiphase granitoid magmatism. A ranking of deposits was carried out in the ore districts of Darwin, Shamva, Midlands, Bulawayo, Gwanda, Busha Mwezi - Fort Victoria, Shashe - Ozi-Umatli, and Sinoia. Five gold mining areas corresponding to volcano-plutonic ring-shape structures and three linear areas were identified. Productivity is predicted to be highest in the Midlands, Bulawayo, and Shamva ring-shape regions. An assessment of the residual gold resources of each of the selected areas is given. The feasibility of detailing important forecast criteria — Late Archean linear and arc faults and post-tectonic granitoids — with the development of additional criteria for further metallogenic zoning and localization of promising areas is established.

Conclusions. The presented data serve as the basis for assessing the prospects of industrially important primary gold deposits in Zimbabwe and carrying out their forecast in the identified gold mining areas.

To the question of parameter optimization of hydraulic transportation technology
Authors: Panov Yu. P. , Bryukhovetsky O. S.
Published: January 2024

Background. The selection of rational schemes for the technology of hydraulic transportation of rock mass requires optimization of the main parameters of this technology. A large number of factors determining the efficiency of hydraulic transportation hamper the formalization of relationships of the main transportation processes both between themselves and other mining and processing processes.

Aim. To identify specific features of the main processes in hydraulic transportation technology, to establish the factors and parameters that determine their optimal operation, and to propose an optimization tool for both individual links and the entire chain of hydraulic transportation of rock mass.

Materials and methods. The problem of parameter optimization of hydraulic transportation of mineral raw materials is solved based on the integral characteristics of the pressure movement of ore and rock hydraulic mixtures. These characteristics were previously obtained empirically or theoretically by the authors of the present paper and other researchers at various mining companies.

Results. Among the variety of factors determining the efficiency of hydraulic transportation, the size of the transported piece (ore, rock, coal) was found to play the major role. At the same time, the nature of changes in economic expenditures and results of evaluating the effectiveness of hydraulic transportation technology will always relate to a specific field, the accepted technological scheme, and the equipment used.

Conclusion. The problem of parameter optimization of hydraulic transportation processes can be solved using digital twin technology. This technology can be used to address the issues of managing complicated technological processes, as the same time allowing timely adjustments to the modes and parameters of operational processes both on individual production lines and at the enterprise as a whole.
Effect of Others Comprehensive Income on Company Value by Mediation of Retained Earnings: Evidence From Indonesia
Authors: Athori Agus , Kusuma Marhaendra
Published: January 2024

Research so far has only tested the effect of other comprehensive income (OCI) and retained earnings on firm value separately. Not many studies have examined the effect of OCI on retained earnings and the mediating role of retained earnings in it’s effect on firm value. This test is important to do as proof of the relevance value of group OCI items that will not be reclassified to net income, where their age as unrealized income is longer than other group OCI items.Test results on the market in Indonesia show: (1) OCI of groups that will not be reclassified to net income has a significant positive effect on retained earnings, but not on firm value, and (2) retained earnings mediate the effect of OCI of groups that will not be reclassified to net income to company value. Retained earnings represent accumulated earnings for the past period including accommodating income from OCI realization which was previously presented as a group that will not be reclassified to net income, which eventually these items become part of retained earnings, including OCI items for the closest period whose amount and time of realization are not known for certain in the end will also become part of retained earnings. The originality of this research is to test the influence of: (1) OCI on retained earnings and (2) mediation of retained earnings in the effect of OCI on firm value.
