Povezanost profitabilnosti i zaduženosti s razinom objavljenih informacija srednjih i
velikih poduzeća
Authors: Rep Ana , Sever Mališ Sanja , Brozović Mateja
Published: July 2023

Izvještavanje poduzeća je jedan od glavnih mehanizama korporativnoga upravljanja. Postavlja se pitanje kako obilježja poduzeća utječu na razinu dobrovoljnoga objavljivanja. Cilj rada je istražiti smjer i jakost povezanosti između profitabilnosti i zaduženosti poduzeća te razine i kvalitete dobrovoljno objavljenih informacija. Pregled dosadašnjih istraživanja je pokazao da su istraživači došli do različitih zaključaka o povezanosti između navedenih varijabli. Međutim, može se očekivati da su poduzeća sklonija dobrovoljno objavljivati informacije koje im idu u prilog, odnosno izbjegavati informacije koje im mogu naštetiti. Zato se polazi od pretpostavki da profitabilnija poduzeća objavljuju više dobrovoljnih informacija s namjerom privlačenja investitora, kao i da zaduženija poduzeća objavljuju manje dobrovoljnih informacija. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku 40 srednjih i velikih poduzeća registriranih u Republici Hrvatskoj uz primjenu regresijske analize. Zavisna varijabla je indeks dobrovoljnoga objavljivanja, koji se sastoji od 50 stavki i konstruiran je na temelju prethodnih istraživanja uz modifikaciju na temelju analize sadržaja godišnjih izvješća i ostalih javno objavljenih nefinancijskih izvještaja za 2017. godinu. Glavne nezavisne varijable su povrat na kapital i koeficijent zaduženosti, uz koje su uvrštene kontrolne varijable u obliku veličine poduzeća te vrste revizorskoga društva. Rezultati su pokazali da je smjer povezanosti između zavisne varijable i glavnih nezavisnih varijabli u skladu s postavljenim hipotezama. Drugim riječima, uočena je pozitivna povezanost između povrata na kapital i indeksa objavljivanja, odnosno negativna povezanost između koeficijenta zaduženosti i indeksa objavljivanja. Međutim, povezanost nije statistički značajna uz razinu značajnosti od 5 %. Iako nisu prihvaćene istraživačke hipoteze, provedeno istraživanje je pokazalo da poduzeća u Hrvatskoj shvaćaju važnost transparentnoga izvještavanja. Ograničenje istraživanja sastoji se u djelomično subjektivnom pristupu prilikom analize sadržaja izvještaja i izračunavanja indeksa objavljivanja. Prostor za poboljšanje u budućim istraživanjima ogleda se u povećanju uzorka poduzeća i broju nezavisnih varijabli u regresijskom modelu.
The attitudes toward the euro adoption in Croatia
Authors: Požega Željko , Crnković Boris , Katolik Kovačević Andreja
Published: July 2023

The purpose of the research is to investigate the attitudes towards the adoption of the euro. The research is exploratory and correlational and uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative part of the research, carried out through the thematic analysis of the participants' responses, is aimed at investigating the reasons behind the support or lack of support of the participants towards the adoption of the euro, and the quantitative part, through stepwise regression, identified the best predictors of support for adopting the euro. The research was conducted on a convenient sample of 242 participants. The topics that appeared during the analysis of the perceived negative effects of the introduction of the euro are the financial aspect and negative psychological consequences, while the topics that appeared when analysing the perceived positive effects of the introduction of the euro are the advantages of the single currency (e.g. in financial services, business and economy, lending, loans and related costs, etc.), and living standards (e.g. long-term: increase in purchasing power, convergence of living standards). The best predictors of the participants' attitude towards the introduction of the euro were the perception of whether the introduction of the euro would lower their standard of living, whether they would have difficulty adjusting to the new value of money, and their trust in the European Parliament. The biggest limitations of the research are convenient sampling and the use of thematic analysis on the answers of the participants that were collected in the open-ended questions of the survey questionnaire. For the possibility of wider generalization of the results, it would be necessary to repeat the research on a larger sample, and for a better understanding of the respondents' answers to the open-ended questions, it would be useful to use in-depth interviews. The use of open-ended questions and systematic thematic analysis is a special feature of this research because the results of the analysis enable new insights to be gained and at the same time the creation of a questionnaire and the application of quantitative methodology in order to check the possibility of population generalization of the obtained findings.
Electricity in Africa: The Politics of Transformation in Uganda
Authors: Gore Christopher
Published: July 2023

Examines the history of electricity provision in Africa and the effects of privatization and infrastructure changes in energy transformation, offering a critical window into development politics in African states. No country has managed to develop beyond a subsistence economy without ensuring at least minimum access to electricity for the majority of its population. Yet many sub-Saharan African countries struggle to meet demand. Why is this, and what can be done to reduce energy poverty and further Africa's development? Examining the politics and processes surrounding electricity infrastructure, provision and reform, the author provides an overview of historical andcontemporary debates about access in the sub-continent, and explores the shifting role and influence of national governments and of multilateral agencies in energy reform decisions. He describes a challenging political environment for electricity supply, with African governments becoming increasingly frustrated with the rules and the processes of multilateral donors. Civil society also began to question reform choices, and governments in turn looked to new development partners, such as China, to chart a fresh path of energy transformation.

Drawing on over fifteen years of research on Uganda, which has one of the lowest levels of access to electricity in Africa and has struggled to construct several, large hydroelectric dams on the Nile, Gore argues that there is a critical need to recognize how the changing political and social context in African countries, and globally, has affected the capacity tofulfil national energy goals, minimize energy poverty and transform economies.

Laser Registration and Supervisory Control of neuroArm Robotic Surgical System
Authors: Hoshyarmanesh Hamidreza , Madieh Hosein , Lama Sanju , Maddahi Yaser , Sutherland Garnette R. , Zareinia Kourosh
Published: July 2023

This paper illustrates the concept of an algorithm to register specified markers on the neuroArm surgical manipulators, an image-guided MR-compatible tele-operated robot for microsurgery and stereotaxy. Two range-finding algorithms, namely time-of-flight and phase-shift, are evaluated for registration and supervisory control. The time-of-flight approach is implemented in a semi-field experiment to determine the precise position of a tiny retro-reflective moving object. The moving object simulates a surgical tool tip. The tool is a target that would be connected to the neuroArm end-effector during surgery inside the magnet bore of the MR imaging system. In order to apply flight approach, a 905-nm pulsed laser diode and an avalanche photodiode are utilized as the transmitter and receiver, respectively. For the experiment, a high frequency time to digital converter was designed using a field-programmable gate arrays. In the phase-shift approach, a continuous green laser beam with a wavelength of 530 nm was used as the transmitter. Results showed that a positioning error of 0.1 mm occurred when the scanner-target point distance was set in the range of 2.5 to 3 meters. The effectiveness of this non-contact approach exhibited that the method could be employed as an alternative for conventional mechanical registration arm. Furthermore, the approach is not limited by physical contact and extension of joint angles.

Settling Immigrants in Neoliberal Times: NGOs and Immigrant Well-being in Comparative Context
Authors: Moreno Karla Angelica Valenzuela , Shields John , Drolet Julie
Published: July 2023

Current events, such as the 2008 economic crisis, the large number of asylum seekers fleeing from conflict zones, terrorism threats, and the growth of right-wing antiimmigrant populism, all within the context of neoliberalism, raise questions regarding the settlement and integration of migrant newcomers in Western liberal democracies. This involves an increasing role for NGOs in immigrant settlement provision through state-NGO ‘partnerships’. By exploring immigration and settlement policy in a comparative context, our main objective is to analyze the role of nonprofits in settlement and integration service delivery, as well as their activities aimed at promoting immigrant well-being and social justice in neoliberal times.
Settling on Austerity: ISAs, Immigrant Communities and Neoliberal Restructuring
Authors: Lowe Sophia , Richmond Ted , Shields John
Published: July 2023

Immigrant Serving Agencies (ISAs) have long been at the centre of the settlement and integration of newcomer populations in Canada. They provide a community-based approach to settlement through nonprofit organizations rooted in the communities they serve, a workforce and volunteers drawn largely from immigrant populations, and a value system and voice reflective of the client base. This has been critical to fostering the ‘warmth of the welcome’ for newcomers that has made Canadian immigrant integration so successful in an internationally comparative context. This system however is under increasing challenge from austerity and neoliberal restructuring. The pressures include funding cutbacks, loss of ISA autonomy, and a general destabilization of nonprofit service provider organizations. This paper examines the

impact of the challenges of government austerity and neoliberal policy for the ISAs and immigrant communities, and considers the prospects for restoring the leadership role of ISAs in providing successful integration through appropriate settlement services. 
‘Illegalized’ Migrant Workers and the Struggle for a Living Wage
Authors: Hannan Charity-Ann , Bauder Harald , Shields John
Published: July 2023

A higher proportion of workers are earning sub-poverty wages today, compared to few decades ago. Illegalized migrant workers have been disproportionately affected by this trend through super-exploitative employer practices. To improve the wages of low-wage workers, members of unions, community groups, activists, and support coalitions have launched living wage campaigns in cities in the USA, UK and, more recently, Canada. Recognizing that illegalized migrant workers’ lack of legal status is valuable to neoliberalism’s economic “success”, yet at the same time, subjects them to arrest and/or deportation by federal immigration authorities, this paper examines modern living wage campaigns, and how they have incorporated the situation of illegalized migrant workers into their agenda. A review of the literature shows that living wage campaigns have not been very successful in achieving their broad goals while at the same time protecting low-waged illegalized migrant workers. These findings indicate that current and future living wage campaigns should consider working closely with Sanctuary City campaigns to improve their strategies for protecting illegalized migrants from arrest and/or deportation while working to improve the working and living conditions of low-waged workers, including the illegalized.
The Precarity Penalty: How Insecure Employment Disadvantages Workers and Their Families
Authors: Lewchuk Wayne , Laflèche Michelynn , Procyk Stephanie , Cook Charlene , Dyson Diane , Goldring Luin , Lior Karen , Meisner Alan , Shields John , Tambureno Anthony , Viducis Peter
Published: July 2023

This paper examines the social and economic effects of precarious employment in the Greater Toronto-Hamilton area. The analysis is based on data from two surveys conducted in 2011 and in 2014 by the Poverty and Employment Precarity in Southern Ontario (PEPSO) research group. The survey findings paint a picture of how low earnings and economic uncertainty translate into delayed formation of relationships, lower marriage rates for workers under the age of 35, and fewer households with children. They also suggest that workers in precarious employment are more likely to experience social isolation. These findings suggest that the Precarity Penalty is not limited to economic outcomes from employment but also includes disadvantages in establishing healthy households and being engaged in one's community. Workers in secure employment enjoy better economic outcomes from employment that provide the basis for better household wellbeing and increased social integration. While much has been made in recent years of the unequal distribution of income, the PEPSO study also points to the unequal distribution of many of the non-financial aspects of life that people value including companionship, having a family and having friends.

Latar belakang: Kecacingan dapat menyerang manusia tanpa melihat jenis usia, baik dewasa maupun anak-anak. Penyebab kecacingan berasal dari berkembangnya telur cacing melalui media tanah. Ascaris lumbricoides termasuk helmintiasis yang paling sering menyebabkan masalah kesehatan pada manusia salah satunya adalah kuku yang terkontaminasi merupakan media penularan cacing melalui fecal-oral. Seorang petugas pasukan laskar hijau memiliki resiko yang cukup tinggi untuk terkontaminasi telur cacing dikarenakan kesehariannya yang berkontak langsung dengan tanah.Tujuan: untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya telur cacing A.lumbricoides pada kuku Petugas Pasukan Laskar Hijau di Kebun Bibit Dinas Pertamanan dan Pemakaman DKI, Jakarta Selatan.Metode: Jenis penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian deskriptif metode sedimentasi dengan desain penelitian secara cross-sectional.Hasil: Hasil dari pemeriksaan kuku petugas pasukan laskar hijau dari 35 sampel kuku ditemukan positif telur cacing A.lumbricoides sebanyak 3 sampel (9%) dan negatif telur cacing A.lumbricoides sebanyak 32 sampel (91%).Kesimpulan: Terdapat kontaminasi telur cacing A.Lumbricoides pada kuku petugas pasukan laskar hijau. Penyebab terkontaminasinya adalah kurangnya penggunaan alat pelindung diri (APD) secara lengkap. Dampak yang ditimbulkan dari kecacingan cukup beragam mulai dari gejala mual, kurangnya nafsu makan, diare, anemia, hingga kematian apabila tingkat infeksi meningkat.
