A Study on the Improvement of Financial Support and Allocation of National Universities
Authors:   The Korean Society For The Economics And Finance Of Education, Lee Jung-Mi , Lee Gil-Jae
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the problems of national university financial support and distribution based on the detailed factors of stability, sufficiency, autonomy, and accountability standards, and to present specific and practical measures to improve national university financial support and distribution. The conclusions and suggestions of this study are as follows. First, to improve the financial support and distribution stability of national universities, the public responsibility of national universities and local governments is clearly defined by law, but the scope of support for national universities is expanded to include labor costs, current expenses, and facility expansion expenses. Second, to secure sufficient and appropriate financial support for national universities, national university development goals can be set, and the average level of state subsidies per student can be considered as an appropriate level of financial support needed to achieve them.
Third, it is necessary to revise the National University Accounting Act or enact the National University Act to revise the National Finance Act and prepare the grounds for the expansion of the national university financial support. Fourth, efforts should be made to ease regulations, such as integrating various national university subsidies and replacing detailed budgeting and operation guidelines that hinder university autonomy with school rules, minimizing regulations on budgeting and operation, and reducing guidelines. Finally, it is necessary to stipulate by law a mechanism for ensuring accountability corresponding to the autonomy of total issuance and fiscal management.
Civic Journalism as a Phenomenon of Digital Civilization
Authors: Gevorgyan Greta
Published: October 2022

This article explores the role of citizen journalism in terms of promoting civil society and democracy. Civic journalists, as well as citizen journalists, contribute to public discussion and try to voice and address many issues that have been ignored by traditional journalism. This study aims to explore the relevance of citizen journalism in the modern world. In addition, a negative phenomenon that is widespread in social networks and infringes on human rights, fake news and hate speech on social networks is investigated. Combining qualitative discourse analysis, comparison and description, the study shows that the role of citizen journalism is growing in many countries. However, hate speech and fake news on social media hinder the development of citizen journalism. To this end, further legislative and democratic measures must be taken. However, the most effective way to combat the obstacles to citizen journalism is to promote media literacy, which will enable everyone to comparatively analyze information, check the message and develop critical thinking.

Currently diabetes mellitus (DM) is a worldwide problem linked to hyper-glyce¬mia and has affected people both in developing and developed countries. DM is divided into Type 1 (T1DM) and Type 2 (T2DM). Moreover, the T2DM is the most prevalence form that encompasses a reduce responsiveness to insulin-sensitive cells or defects in insulin secretion. Exposure to chronic immobilization stress contributes to the development of hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia that can lead to cardiovascular complications. Herbs with hypoglycemic properties, especially Origanum vulgare L., would be useful in hyperglycemia treatment. Oral administration of aqueous extract showed significant effect on hyperglycemia and improving glucose tolerance. In addition, extract of O. vulgare reduced total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and vice versa increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and also decreased liver enzymes levels (alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase) compared with untreated group and might be recommended as herbal remedy in the treatment of stress-induced hyperglycemia.

Published: October 2022

This study aims to examine how the juridical consequences of errors on the part of hospitals and doctors in handling health care for patients. As for the subject of this study is how the legal relationship between Hospitals, Doctors and Patients in the health treatment agreement, and the legal consequences of errors and omissions in health care. The research method used in this study is normative juridical using secondary legal data consisting of primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the legal relationship between the patient and the doctor is a “joint participation” relationship where the patient already feels equal to the doctor. Delay in treatment by a doctor is a form of default, namely being late in doing what was promised to be done. Hospitals can also be responsible in this case committing acts against the law, because they do not provide safe, quality, anti-discriminatory, and effective health services by prioritizing the interests of patients in accordance with hospital service standards, resulting in fatal outcomes for patients.

La Sífilis y la infección por VHC, figuran entre las causas secundarias de Síndrome Nefrótico, su relación es bien conocida aunque rara, sobre todo en nuestro medio, pero esto no puede exonerarnos de pensar en ellas y mucho menos de no indicar los test serológicos para su diagnóstico, más aun en adolescentes debido al notable incremento de casos incidentes de infecciones de transmisión sexual en los últimos tiempos, el inicio precoz de las relaciones sexuales y prácticas desprotegidas. Además porque esta afección renal es curable con tratamiento específico. Por lo que creemos de interés llamar la atención de esta asociación que por ser rara puede pasar inadvertida. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar a una adolescente, femenina, sin antecedentes patológicos con un secundarismo luético, infección por VHC y síndrome nefrótico coincidente, que se trató con penicilina, reposo, dieta, diuréticos y antiproteinúrico, observándose una resolución completa después de la primera semana del tratamiento.

El artículo está estructurado en: Introducción, marco teórico, metodología, parte empírica y finalmente las conclusiones. Adoptamos una metodología de análisis descriptivo, en un enfoque cualitativo.
Envolvimento de enzimas NADP-desidrogenases na tolerância ao alumínio em plântulas de soja
Authors:   , Bruno Maria Helena Faustinoni
Published: October 2022

Um dos maiores limitantes das culturas são os solos ácidos com prevalência de íons biodisponíveis de alumínio (Al 3+ ), o qual causa danos ao crescimento e desenvolvimento das raízes. Glicose-6-fosfato desidrogenase (G6PDH), 6-fosfogluconato desidrogenase (6PGDH), malato desidrogenase (NADP-ME) e isocitrato desidrogenase (ICDH) são enzimas NADP- desidrogenases responsáveis pela produção de nicotinamida adenina dinucleotídeo fosfato (NADPH), molécula essencial para a modulação do status redox celular. Adicionalmente, o aumento na atividade dessas enzimas está relacionado a respostas a agentes estressores. A molécula de NADPH é utilizada pelo Ciclo Ascorbato-Glutationa (Ciclo AsA-GSH) na destoxificação celular do H 2 O 2 . No presente trabalho, avaliamos o desempenho de dois genótipos de soja NEO610 (Al-tolerante) e M5917I (Al-sensível) na ausência (0 mM) e presença do alumínio (1,5 mM) na fase de desenvolvimento VE/VC analisando seu sistema radicular. Neste estudo avaliamos a atividade e expressão das enzimas NADP-desidrogenases, produção de NADPH, atividade das enzimas do Ciclo Asc-GSH e seus metabólitos. Encontramos no genótipo de soja NEO610 (Al-tolerante) aumento na expressão e na atividade das enzimas NADP-desidrogenases, G6PDH, 6PGDH, ICHD, NADP-ME, bem como aumento no conteúdo de NADPH. O genótipo Al-tolerante aumentou a atividade da enzima MDHAR e manteve elevado a atividade da enzima GR, sendo acompanhado do aumento nos níveis de seus respectivos metabólitos antioxidantes, AsA e GSH. Além disso, o genótipo Al- tolerante manteve menores valores da peroxidação lipídica e do teor de H 2 O 2 e não apresentou redução no crescimento radicular frente ao estresse por Al. Dessa forma, concluímos que o aumento na expressão de genes e na atividade das enzimas NADP-desidrogenases contribuiu para a tolerância do genótipo de soja NEO610 ao Al, através do fornecimento de equivalentes redutores na forma de NAD(P)H para os componentes do Ciclo Ascorbato-Glutationa, resultando em menores danos oxidativos e melhor desenvolvimento desse genótipo frente a esse metal. Palavras-chave: Alumínio. Desidrogenases. NADPH. Soja. Tolerância.

Intestinal metaplasia of the bladder is a rare pathology, estimated at less than 1% of bladder pathologies. Some forms, including pseudo tumor glandular cystitis, can mimic cancer. We report a rare case of this pathology, little studied in our context, treated in Senegal and we underline the epidemiologicalclinical and anatomopathological particularities. Observation: Mr. MN, 26 years old, non-smoking, known epileptic, with psychomotor delay since birth (under Tegretil and Gardenal), presented with a hip’s trauma, not operated on in 2012, then a left leg fracture following a traffic accident in August 2019. He consulted for recurrent terminal hematuria without urination burn, dysuria and pelvic pain. The clinical examination revealed a motor deficit, a normal prostate on rectal examination. Cystoscopy showed a solid, vegetative, ulcerated tumor lesion of the bladder, of trigonal location and of the right lateral wall without invasion sign, with ureteral meatus and permeable ureters. The rest of the devices and biological assessments examination are unremarkable. Abdomino-pelvic ultrasound revealed a semi-replete bladder with a non-significant post-void residue and 39.78 cc prostatic hypertrophy without repercussions on the upper urinary system. The patient underwent a complete and deep bladder’s transurethral resection which, after histological examination, showed a pseudotumoral glandular cystitis of the bladder. Conclusion: The bladder should be taken into account in adult patients, often males, with irritative and obstructive urinary signs. It can occur without previous bladder infection. This pathology can simulate bladder cancer from which the interest of the pathological examination which makes it possible to make the formal diagnosis.

O Sexismo Na Língua Sob A Perspectiva Do Manual Prático De Linguagem Inclusiva, De André Fischer
Authors: Bernardy Francisca
Published: October 2022

A presente pesquisa vincula-se à experiência proporcionada no grupo de pesquisa “...”, que integra o ..., da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), e, também, ao projeto de pesquisa “...”, coordenado pela Profa. Dra. .... O estudo em questão tem como objetivo compreender como o Manual Prático de Linguagem Inclusiva, de André Fischer, trabalha a questão do sexismo linguístico, tendo em vista um uso menos discriminatório da língua. No que se refere à língua portuguesa, isso se dá pelo uso do gênero gramatical masculino como fator predominante em relação ao gênero feminino, à medida em que também funciona como gênero neutro. Para a realização da análise, foram selecionadas como corpus duas sugestões para um uso não sexista da língua, as quais foram postas em relação com os sentidos de dicionário, a fim de compreender o que se propõe como linguagem não sexista e inclusiva, por meio das noções de paráfrase ou metáfora. Essa análise se dará com base em leituras fundamentadas pelo aporte teórico-metodológico da Análise de Discurso.
Forma E Função No Ensino De Gramática: A Noção De Sintagma Como Guia Da Definição De Classes Formais
Authors: Nicolau de Paula Mayara , Carvalho Janayna
Published: October 2022

Neste texto, argumentamos em favor da introdução do conceito de sintagma como um dos nortes para o ensino de gramática na educação básica. Mostramos como a exploração da estrutura de um sintagma pode contribuir para contextualização de dados da língua e, a partir daí, abrir espaço para reflexão analítica em sala de aula. Com base em noções sobre classes de palavras e funções sintáticas comumente veiculadas em livros didáticos e gramáticas, mostramos como há aplicabilidade para a introdução dessa unidade de análise em vários componentes curriculares gramaticais. Essa noção não somente esclarece partes desses componentes curriculares como abre espaço para reflexões linguísticas, além de prover uma descrição formal para várias delas. Nossa proposta, portanto, vai na direção de uma transposição de conhecimentos descritivos para a escola a fim de complementar o repertório linguístico dos estudantes, esclarecer os limites entre o comportamento formal e funcional das palavras e simplificar a lista de terminologias tradicionalmente ensinadas nas aulas de análise sintática, oportunizando assim uma exploração de conhecimentos internalizados que todo falante tem sobre a língua.
Antropônimos E Topônimos Nas Traduções Francesa E Estadunidense De Esaú E Jacó, De Machado De Assis
Authors: Jardim da Silva Gabriela
Published: October 2022

O presente artigo tem por objetivo debruçar-se sobre o tratamento acordado aos antropônimos e aos topônimos na tradução de Esaú e Jacó (1904), romance de Machado de Assis, em francês (realizada por Françoise Duprat) e em inglês estadunidense (realizada por Elizabeth Lowe). A partir dos trabalhos de Cícero (106 a.C. – 43 a.C.), a prática tradutória tem sido analisada e discutida por tradutores e/ou teóricos da tradução (linguistas, filósofos, psicanalistas e outros): dos diferentes procedimentos no ato de traduzir ao questionamento sobre a [im]possibilidade da tradução. Apesar de tais pontos parecerem ter sido superados em termos de discussão teórica, é necessário, no entanto, aludir as conhecidas dificuldades de tradução, e, no âmbito dessas – contidas em um vasto rol –, destacar as dificuldades associadas às questões sócio-históricas e culturais. Assim, este artigo estuda particularmente as opções tradutórias na esfera dos antropônimos (nomes de pessoas) e dos topônimos (nomes de lugares), focando nos seguintes questionamentos: convém traduzir os nomes próprios? Como agem os tradutores ao traduzirem essa classe de nomes? Quais motivações levam um tradutor a traduzir ou não um nome próprio? Para fomentar tal discussão, é feito um estudo de caso, precedido de algumas questões inerentes às discussões em teoria da tradução.
Lietuvos kariuomenės kovinių plaukikų būrys 1990–2004 m.: su(si)formavimas, veikla ir įvaizdis
Authors: Želvytė Ieva
Published: October 2022

1990 m. pirmą kartą rašytiniuose šaltiniuose buvo paminėtas „legendomis apipintas“ povandeninių plaukikų būrys. Toks būrys Lietuvos jėgos struktūrose pradėtas formuoti paskutiniame XX a. dešimtmetyje naro specialybę SSRS įgijusio kovos menų (karate) trenerio ir instruktoriaus Valerijaus Krisikaičio iniciatyva. Siekdamas padėti besikuriančioms Lietuvos Krašto apsaugos departamento formuotėms, V. Krisikaitis išreiškė norą dirbti krašto apsaugos sistemoje – organizuoti žmonių rengimą kovinei savigynai ir suformuoti povandeninių plaukikų grupę, kad būtų apsaugotas Klaipėdos uostas nuo galimų svetimų šalių diversantų keliamo pavojaus ir užpuolimų. Tuometis Krašto apsaugos departamento direktorius pritarė šiai idėjai ir priėmė V. Krisikaičio siūlomą pagalbą. 1990 m. gruodžio mėn. Klaipėdoje buvo pradėta burti vyrų savanorių grupė ir surengtos pirmosios kovinės savigynos bei nardymo treniruotės. Visas Lietuvos Respublikos kariuomenės narų sistemos kūrimas truko ne vienus metus. Reikėjo laiko ištreniruoti ir puikiai parengti asmenis, galinčius atlikti žvalgybą išnėrus iš vandens, įvairias kovines užduotis, specialiąsias operacijas ir nesprogusios amunicijos iškėlimą iš vandens. Karinio nardymo bazė ir narų – kovinių plaukikų – rengimas Lietuvos Respublikoje nuo 1992 m. buvo išplėtoti iki itin aukšto lygio. Šalyje atsirado narų rengimo „šerdis“ – ja tapo V. Krisikaičio vadovaujamas Kovinių plaukikų būrys Klaipėdoje. Lietuvos kariuomenė 1993–2004 m. tapo pajėgi profesionaliai parengti pakankamai kovinių plaukikų narų, galinčių atlikti nesprogusios amunicijos iškėlimo iš vandens darbus, vien savo mokymo centruose. Šalyje parengti koviniai narai buvo pripažinti tarptautinio masto užsienio valstybių narų rengimo centrų ir patys galėjo suteikti specialiųjų nardymo žinių kitiems Lietuvos
ir užsienio šios srities kariams. Pamečiui gerėjo Lietuvos Respublikos Vyriausybės požiūris į Lietuvos kariuomenės narus, nes didėjo jų vykdomų užduočių mastas, išsigrynino būrio veiklos specifika. Kovinių plaukikų tarnyba įgijo valdžios pasitikėjimą, didėjo jos valstybinis finansavimas ir aprūpinimo specialiąja įranga mastas.

This study was conducted to examine the influence of liquidity management on firm value of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria. This was premised on the fact that continuous existence of quoted manufacturing companies is guaranteed by the level of improvement in firm value, which may depend upon the level of liquidity management technique employed by managers. Have these techniques of liquidity management adopted by managers of quoted manufacturing companies in Nigeria influence firm value? Ex-post facto research design was employed for the study. Fortytwo (42) quoted companies were sampled out off a population of fifty-six (56) quoted listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) as at December 31, 2019. The independent variables for liquidity management were measured by current ratio (CRR), Quick Ratio (QR), Cash Ratio (CR) and Net Working Capital Ratio (NWCR), and Firm Value (AV) was the dependent variable panel date was sourced from the published financial reports of the sampled companies and analysed using Fixed effect regression technique. Results revealed that CRR, QR and NWCR had positive and significance influence on FV, CR had a positive and insignificant influence. It was recommended that managers of quoted companies should invest continuously on current assets for the purpose of raising liquidity and profitability which impacts on firm value.

Previous macro-level studies of rape have only examined the relationship between gender inequality or socioeconomic status and possible exposure to rapists. The current study overcomes the limitations of previous research by using Social Disorganization Theory, Evolutionary Psychology, and Backlash Hypothesis to simultaneously measure the three key components of RAT. Our analysis predicts victim/offender disaggregated rape counts in U.S. counties using the U.S. Census data and the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS). Our findings reveal the following: (1) Evolutionary Psychology and Backlash Hypothesis variables were not significant as individual predictors for most of the tested models, (2) Social Disorganization variables were positive and significant in most models, and (3) the Evolutionary Psychology-RAT framework was a poor predictor of all types of rape. Our findings reveal the strength of the Backlash Hypothesis as a predictor of rape, as well as the importance of measuring the components of RAT fully and simultaneously.

The interesting properties of scale-free and small-world networks recently observed have triggered the attention of the research community to the study of real growing complex networks. In scale-free networks, most vertices are sparsely connected, while a few vertices are intensively connected to many others, indicating a “preferential linking” during growing. In small-world networks, the average length of the shortest path between two randomly chosen nodes is small. In this paper, we study the topological and dynamical properties of the network of shareholders (NOS) in 11593 different companies. Based on Graph Databases, we calculate all the well-known in the literature topological and dynamical properties of a network along with centrality measures of nodes of NOS, which quantify the role that a node plays in the overall structure of NOS. We prove that NOS is both a scale-free and smallworld network. An understanding of NOS helps in predicting the emergence of important new phenomena affecting portfolio management in general. Also, this work reveals the fact that graph databases could serve as an efficient tool for analyzing such network models for stock markets. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study calculating all the well-known in the literature topological and dynamical properties for Market Investments Networks, that is based on graph databases.
THE EFFECT OF CENTRAL FINANCIAL TRANSFERS ON TAX EFFORTS OF STATES IN INDIA: A PANEL DATA ANALYSIS
Authors: Lakshmanasamy T.
Published: October 2022

Central government financial transfers and states’ own tax revenue is interlinked as the transfer policies may encourage or discourage the own tax effort of the states. This paper analyses the effects of central transfers on states’ own own tax revenue, using panel data for l5 major states from 1980-81 to 2019-20 applying panel fixed effects and random effects regression methods. The estimated results show a negative relationship between central transfers and grants and the own tax efforts of the states, indicating revenue substitution by states. More central government assistance means less dependence on own tax revenue dampening the states’ revenue mobilisation efforts. The existence of a strong positive relationship between NSDP per capita and state tax revenue shows the high tax potential of the states. The incentive criterion for tax effort as used both in the finance commissions devolutions and in the Gadgil formula used by the planning commission is not reflected in the federal system of India. The central transfers adversely affect the incentives to states to mobilise their own resources and fail to induce a desired positive revenue generation in states.

Workforce diversity is an international phenomenon in developed and developing countries. Diversity is an issue that has gotten a lot of attention in many fields; diversity and inclusion have become accepted as a global business topic. Workplace diversity (WPD) is a holistic concept that refers to company employees’ disparities. It refers to the complex physical, sociological, and psychological characteristics characterising an individual or group, such as gender, race, sexual orientation, and religious or political beliefs. Academics and practitioners alike are paying increased attention to workforce diversity. This research aims to investigate and provide a conceptual understanding and significance of diversity, especially workplace diversity in different countries; the literature also examines their methodology to investigate workforce diversity. Also, this paper explores literature about the increasing global influence of workforce diversity and its effect on the workplace drawing on previous studies. In addition, because of the benefits to the organisation and the people who work there, diversity in the workplace has become a meaningful and significant topic. The research took a qualitative approach through a comprehensive review of previous literature. The primary purpose of this article is to review the literature on workforce diversity on a global basis.

EFFECTS OF INTEREST RATE ON HOUSING PRICES IN KENYA
Authors: Koome Rodrick , Njaramba Stephen
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The objective of the study was to examine the effect of interest rate on housing prices in Kenya.

Methodology: The study used annual quantitative data for period 1960 to 2017. It employed Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) in determining the effects of negative and positive series of interest rates on housing prices.  

Findings: A non-linear relationship between interest rates and housing prices was confirmed. Both the negative series and positive series of interest rate portrayed a negative effect on housing prices in short run. For long run, positive series have positive effect on housing prices while the negative series have negative effect.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: A completely developed theoretical model putting together all meaningful inter-linkages between macroeconomic variable and price of housing is absent. The only ultimate way to address the issue is through empirical means. The findings indicate the presence of a non-linear relationship between interest rate and housing prices. The Central Bank of Kenya can change the Central Bank Reference rate (CBR rate) to alter the cost of money and consequently housing prices. In formulating a policy change, the Central Bank of Kenya should be cognizant of both the non-linear relationship existing between interest rates and prices of housing and the different magnitudes of effect of the positive and negative series on housing prices. When housing prices increase, either an increase or decrease the interest rate by the CBK will result to a downward movement in prices of housing in the short run, but at higher magnitude from the interest rate decrease. For the long-run, a decrease in interest rate will decrease housing prices, making housing affordable and improving the standards of living for citizens. Any upward movement in interest rate will result to a long-run increase in housing prices making housing more expensive and consequently out of reach of most citizens.
From Freedom of Expression to Freedom of Speech – the Guarantees under the Nigerian Constitution and the Real Challenges
Authors: Sule Ibrahim
Published: October 2022

Right to freedom of expression is one of the globally recognized fundamental rights guaranteed and protected in many international human rights conventions, charters and other international and regional treaties and instruments. In Nigeria, the right has always been given recognision and specifically provided for in all the Nigeria’s constitutions, including the colonial and pre-independence. Even under the constitutional arrangements under the military governments, the said right is given recognition. Under the 1999 Constitution of Federal republic of Nigeria, the said right has also been prescribed for as one of the rights guaranteed for all Nigerians and anybody on the Nigerian soil. Nevertheless, it is one thing to recognize a right and it is completely another to practically implement the guarantees provided for. The Nigerian constitution is said to have given the said right with one hand and takes it away with another hand. This article critically analyses the right to freedom of expression under the Nigerian Constitution 1999 to discover whether or not the constitution as is being alleged, is really speaking from two sides of its mouth.
