Effect of Cover Crop on Farm Profitability and Risk in the Southern High Plains
Authors: Acharya Ram N. , Ghimire Rajan , GC Apar , Blayney Don
Published: December 2019

Cover cropping has been promoted for improving soil health and environmental quality in the southern High Plains (SHP) region of the United States. The SHP is one of the more productive areas of the country and covers a large landmass, including parts of Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas. This region faces challenges in sustainable crop production due to declining water levels in the Ogallala Aquifer, the primary source of water for irrigated crop production. This study examines the impact of integrating cover crops in the winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L)-based rotations on farm profitability and risk in the SHP. The study combines experimental yield data with other secondary information, including market prices, to conduct simulation analysis and evaluate the risk involved in introducing cover crops in a wheat-fallow cropping system. The results show that, due to the additional monetary costs involved, none of the cover crop options is economically viable. However, when secondary benefits (erosion control and green nitrogen) or government subsidies are included in the analysis, one of the cover crop options (peas) dominates the fallow alternative. Moreover, when the secondary benefits and a government subsidy are combined, two cover crop alternatives (peas and oats) emerge as more profitable options than leaving land fallow. These results highlight the importance of agricultural research and extension programs that are making a concerted effort to develop more productive farming techniques and increase public awareness about the long-term benefits of adopting soil health management systems such as cover cropping in the SHP region.
Effects of Landscape Development Intensity on River Water Quality in Urbanized Areas
Authors: Wang Yuncai , Shen Jiake , Yan Wentao , Chen Chundi
Published: December 2019

Urban development and human activities have greatly changed the appearance of urban landscapes, and also affect urban river water environments. Rapidly urbanized regions in China face particularly severe pressures and challenges in alleviating degradation of river water quality. Information is needed on which indexes of landscape development intensity in rapidly-urbanized areas are the key factors affecting the quality of river water environments, and how these factors affect water quality. In order to answer these questions, this research selected six indexes belonging to three dimensions for landscape development intensity evaluation. Based on five water quality parameters of 20 rivers and the land use data of 20 small watersheds of Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing, China in 2014, this research explored the correlation between the landscape development intensity indexes and river water quality through redundancy analysis. We found that the impervious surface rate and the land average fixed asset investment are the key indexes to affect river water quality. Regulating the corresponding indexes at the urban planning and design level, as well as the decision making level, can effectively achieve the goal of improving urban river water quality. The conclusions inspire strategies in planning and design, and are helpful for government decision making to effectively protect river water environment in rapidly urbanized areas in the developing countries.
Developing Joint R&D Institutes between Chinese Universities and International Enterprises in China’s Innovation System: A Case at Tsinghua University
Authors: Ma Jinyuan
Published: December 2019

This paper examines the role of joint R&D institutes co-established by Chinese research universities and international enterprises. Guided by an analytical framework of institutional logics in the evolution of the Triple Helix model, this study aims to explore the institutionalization process of a joint R&D institute in the contexts of global and Chinese innovation systems; further, it analyzes which mingling institutional logics, respectively carried by a Chinese research university and an international enterprise, affect the collaboration between both parties moving from informal R&D collaboration toward an institutionalized organization. The case study method enabled the author to understand the complexity of the interlacing of international and national actors with regards to the joint R&D institutes. The contribution of the study to the existing literature is two-fold: on the conceptual front, it advances theoretical understandings of the interactions of institutional logics which result in varied patterns of joint R&D institute in a national context with transnational factors; on the empirical front, it examines the evolutionary path of a joint R&D institute established by a Chinese research university and an international enterprise.
An Analysis of the Dynamical Behaviour of Systems with Fractional Damping for Mechanical Engineering Applications
Authors: Zarraga Ondiz , Sarría Imanol , García-Barruetabeña Jon , Cortés Fernando
Published: December 2019

Fractional derivative models are widely used to easily characterise more complex damping behaviour than the viscous one, although the underlying properties are not trivial. Several studies about the mathematical properties can be found, but are usually far from the most daily applications. Thus, this paper studies the properties of structural systems whose damping is represented by a fractional model from the point of view of a mechanical engineer. First, a single-degree-of-freedom system with fractional damping is analysed. Specifically, the distribution of the poles and the dynamic response to several excitations is studied for different model parameter values highlighting dissimilarities from systems with conventional viscous damping. In fact, thanks to fractional models, particular behaviours are observed that cannot be reproduced by classical ones. Finally, the dynamics of a machine shaft supported by two bearings presenting fractional damping is analysed. The study is carried out by the Finite Element method, deriving in a system with symmetric matrices. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are obtained by means of an iterative method, and the effect of damping is visualised on the mode shapes. In addition, the response to a perturbation is computed, revealing the influence of the model parameters on the resulting vibration.
Hybrid Algorithms for Variational Inequalities Involving a Strict Pseudocontraction
Authors: Cho Sun Young
Published: December 2019

In a real Hilbert space, we investigate the Tseng’s extragradient algorithms with hybrid adaptive step-sizes for treating a Lipschitzian pseudomonotone variational inequality problem and a strict pseudocontraction fixed-point problem, which are symmetry. By imposing some appropriate weak assumptions on parameters, we obtain a norm solution of the problems, which solves a certain hierarchical variational inequality.
From a Movement-Deficient Grapevine Fanleaf Virus to the Identification of a New Viral Determinant of Nematode Transmission

Published: December 2019

Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) and arabis mosaic virus (ArMV) are nepoviruses responsible for grapevine degeneration. They are specifically transmitted from grapevine to grapevine by two distinct ectoparasitic dagger nematodes of the genus Xiphinema. GFLV and ArMV move from cell to cell as virions through tubules formed into plasmodesmata by the self-assembly of the viral movement protein. Five surface-exposed regions in the coat protein called R1 to R5, which differ between the two viruses, were previously defined and exchanged to test their involvement in virus transmission, leading to the identification of region R2 as a transmission determinant. Region R4 (amino acids 258 to 264) could not be tested in transmission due to its requirement for plant systemic infection. Here, we present a fine-tuning mutagenesis of the GFLV coat protein in and around region R4 that restored the virus movement and allowed its evaluation in transmission. We show that residues T258, M260, D261, and R301 play a crucial role in virus transmission, thus representing a new viral determinant of nematode transmission.
A Novel and Divergent Gyrovirus with Unusual Genomic Features Detected in Wild Passerine Birds from a Remote Rainforest in French Guiana

Published: December 2019

Sequence-independent amplification techniques have become important tools for virus discovery, metagenomics, and exploration of viral diversity at the global scale, especially in remote areas. Here, we describe the detection and genetic characterization of a novel gyrovirus, named GyV11, present in cloacal, oral, and blood samples from neotropical wild birds in French Guiana. The molecular epidemiology revealed the presence of GyV11 only in passerine birds from three different species at a low prevalence (0.73%). This is the first characterization and prevalence study of a gyrovirus carried out in resident wild bird populations in a remote region, and provides evidence of the fecal–oral route transmission and local circulation of the virus. The molecular phylogeny of gyroviruses reveals the existence of two distinct gyrovirus lineages in which GyV11 is phylogenetically distinct from previously reported gyroviruses. Furthermore, GyV11 is placed basal in the gyrovirus phylogeny, likely owing to its ancestral origin and marked divergence. This study also provides important insights into the ecology, epidemiology, and genomic features of gyroviruses in a remote neotropical rainforest. The pathogenesis of this virus in avian species or whether GyV11 can infect humans and/or chickens needs to be further investigated.
Irrigation Water Allocation at Farm Level Based on Temporal Cultivation-Related Data Using Meta-Heuristic Optimisation Algorithms
Authors: Saeidian Bahram , Mesgari Mohammad Saadi , Pradhan Biswajeet , Alamri Abdullah M.
Published: December 2019

The present water crisis necessitates a frugal water management strategy. Deficit irrigation can be regarded as an efficient strategy for agricultural water management. Optimal allocation of water to agricultural farms is a computationally complex problem because of many factors, including limitations and constraints related to irrigation, numerous allocation states, and non-linearity and complexity of the objective function. Meta-heuristic algorithms are typically used to solve complex problems. The main objective of this study is to represent water allocation at farm level using temporal cultivation data as an optimisation problem, solve this problem using various meta-heuristic algorithms, and compare the results. The objective of the optimisation is to maximise the total income of all considered lands. The criteria of objective function value, convergence trend, robustness, runtime, and complexity of use and modelling are used to compare the algorithms. Finally, the algorithms are ranked using the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). The income resulting from the allocation of water by the imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) was 1.006, 1.084, and 1.098 times that of particle swarm optimisation (PSO), bees algorithm (BA), and genetic algorithm (GA), respectively. The ICA and PSO were superior to the other algorithms in most evaluations. According to the results of TOPSIS, the algorithms, by order of priority, are ICA PSO, BA, and GA. In addition, the experience showed that using meta-heuristic algorithms, such as ICA, results in higher income (4.747 times) and improved management of water deficit than the commonly used area-based water allocation method.
Terrestrial and Marine Landforms along the Cilento Coastland (Southern Italy): A Framework for Landslide Hazard Assessment and Environmental Conservation
Authors: Guida Domenico , Valente Alessio
Published: December 2019

This study shows the terrestrial and marine landforms present along the Cilento coast in the southern part of the Campania region (Italy). This coast is characterized by the alternation of bays, small beaches, and rocky headlands. In the adjacent submerged areas, there is a slightly inclined platform that has a maximum width of 30 km to the north, while it narrows in the south to approximately 6 km. A wide variety of landforms are preserved in this area, despite the high erodibility of the rocks emerging from the sea and the effects of human activities (construction of structures and infrastructures, fires, etc.). Of these landforms, we focused on those that enabled us to determine Quaternary sea-level variations, and, more specifically, we focused on the correlation between coastal and sea-floor topography in order to trace the geomorphological evolution of this coastal area. For this purpose, the Licosa Cape and the promontory of Ripe Rosse located in northern Cilento were used as reference areas. Methods were used that enabled us to obtain a detailed digital cartography of each area and consequently to apply physical-based coastal evolution models. We believe that this approach would provide a better management of coastal risk mitigation which is likely to become increasingly important in the perspective of climate change.
Physiological Profiling and Functional Diversity of Groundwater Microbial Communities in a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Area
Authors: Melita Marco , Amalfitano Stefano , Preziosi Elisabetta , Ghergo Stefano , Frollini Eleonora , Parrone Daniele , Zoppini Annamaria
Published: December 2019

The disposal of municipal solid wastes in landfills represents a major threat for aquifer environments at the global scale. The aim of this study was to explore how groundwater geochemical characteristics can influence the microbial community functioning and the potential degradation patterns of selected organic substrates in response to different levels of landfill-induced alterations. Groundwaters collected from a landfill area were monitored by assessing major physical-chemical parameters and the microbiological contamination levels (total coliforms and fecal indicators—Colilert-18). The aquatic microbial community was further characterized by flow cytometry and Biolog EcoPlatesTM assay. Three groundwater conditions (i.e., pristine, mixed, and altered) were identified according to their distinct geochemical profiles. The altered groundwaters showed relatively higher values of organic matter concentration and total cell counts, along with the presence of fecal indicator bacteria, in comparison to samples from pristine and mixed conditions. The kinetic profiles of the Biolog substrate degradation showed that the microbial community thriving in altered conditions was relatively more efficient in metabolizing a larger number of organic substrates, including those with complex molecular structures. We concluded that the assessment of physiological profiling and functional diversity at the microbial community level could represent a supportive tool to understand the potential consequences of the organic contamination of impacted aquifers, thus complementing the current strategies for groundwater management.

L’occupation du sol dans les Corbières Maritimes entre l’Antiquité et le haut Moyen Âge (Ier siècle av. J.-C. - Xe siècle) : l’exemple de Sigean (Aude)
Authors: Savarese Laurent
Published: December 2019

Située à une quinzaine de kilomètres au sud de Narbonne, la commune de Sigean fit l’objet, au titre d’une zone test, de deux campagnes de prospection pédestre systématique visant à établir une vision diachronique de l’occupation du sol entre l’Antiquité et le haut Moyen Âge. La collecte de données et leur recoupement avec les sources écrites du haut Moyen Âge nous permettent de présenter un premier bilan illustrant la dynamique du peuplement d’un territoire du Sud Narbonnais. S’il est encore trop tôt pour définir ce schéma d’occupation du sol, comme un exemple caractéristique de l’évolution de l’habitat rural de cette microrégion, il peut désormais être comparé à d’autres résultats de recherches régionales et offre les premiers jalons de l’étude de ce secteur littoral audois, à ce jour très peu documenté.
Le castrum de Peyriac-Minervois (Aude) : fortification et épisodes militaires des origines aux guerres de Religion (XIe-XVIe siècle)
Authors: Loppe Frédéric , Douillet Christian , Vallée-Roche Marie
Published: December 2019

Grâce aux sources documentaires et aux vestiges cet article se propose d’étudier les événements militaires et la fortification du village de Peyriac-Minervois (Aude), depuis ses origines jusqu’à la fin du XVIe siècle. Dans la plaine minervoise, à une vingtaine de kilomètres à l’est de Carcassonne, cette agglomération d’origine castrale créée au XIe siècle près du ruisseau Argent-Double constitue un point fort important du domaine des Trencavel : vers 1160 l’organisation de son cinctus superior détenu par plusieurs co-seigneurs paraît d’ailleurs particulièrement élaborée. Durant la guerre de Cent Ans en 1363-1364 le site subit deux sièges successifs alors qu’il sert de base d’opération à des routiers. Les destructions occasionnées obligent à réaliser d’importants travaux (enceinte, maisons, église) qui sont complétés au XVe siècle par des tours en partie adaptées à l’artillerie à poudre. Par la suite plusieurs demeures sont édifiées à la fin du Moyen Âge, puis durant le XVIe siècle la place connaît d’ultimes aménagements, avant et après les guerres de Religion.

L’accord verbal dans Historia Gruffud vab Kenan : norme et variations

Le présent article se propose d’examiner l’accord verbal dans le texte moyen-gallois Historia Gruffud vab Kenan, traduction d’un texte latin intitulé Vita Griffini Filii Conani qui date du début du XIIIe siècle. Sur la base d’une collection exhaustive des données, la norme prescriptive des grammaires relative à l’accord verbal est confrontée aussi bien avec les cas conformes aux normes qu’avec les attestations témoignant d’un usage déviant. Pour les sujets qui précèdent le verbe dans la construction dite abnormal order (V2), l’on ne constate, dans ce texte, que très peu de violations des normes. Quant aux sujets au pluriel qui suivent le verbe et, en particulier, aux antécédents au pluriel qui assument la fonction du sujet dans une subordonnée relative, les infractions à la norme sont bien plus fréquentes. L’accord verbal dans la subordonnée relative semblerait dans ce cas-ci avoir subi l’influence du latin. Finalement, une série de constructions et de phrases seront étudiées, qui posent problème au niveau de la syntaxe et de l’accord, ainsi que le taux de variation qu’un système linguistique admet.
Les Bretons à La Rochelle d’après le serment au roi de France de 1224
Authors: Marquand Patrice
Published: December 2019

En 1224, lorsque la ville de La Rochelle passe du pouvoir Plantagenêt à celui du roi de France, le serment d’allégeance à Louis VIII, signé par au moins 1 360 habitants, fait connaître la composition de la population rochelaise au début du XIIIe siècle et l’étendue des relations commerciales de la ville portuaire. Parmi les étrangers à la cité, les Bretons forment le groupe ethnique le plus nombreux et représentent environ un tiers des allochtones originaires d’un lieu situé à plus de cent kilomètres de La Rochelle. L’analyse anthroponymique et un décompte par catégories permettent de préciser leur nombre et de déceler une immigration bretonne régulière, depuis sans doute la création de La Rochelle en 1137. L’étude d’autres témoignages replace cette immigration dans le contexte politique et économique des dernières décennies du XIIe siècle. Les «brefs» de mer, la rédaction primitive des «Rôles d’Oléron», certains récits de croisades et de pèlerinages décrivant les routes maritimes fréquentées par les pilotes bretons confirment les contacts entre La Rochelle et la Bretagne avant 1224.

Progressive forms in the Breton dialect of the island of Sein : analysis elements.

This paper deals with a peculiar construction that is used to express the progressive aspect, in the Breton dialect of the island of Sein. Our aim is to give a first description of the conditions in which that construction, that we shall call comitative, is used. We also examine the peculiarity of this structure in the diathesis and actancy point of view. Finally, we suggest, in order to widen the scope of this study, a comparison between this construction and a specific use of the progressive verbal patterns in Irish.
Trouguer en Cléden-Cap-Sizun (Finistère), sanctuaire maritime des Osismes ?
Authors: Galliou Patrick
Published: December 2019

En partie fouillé à la fin du XIXe siècle et dans les années 1950, le grand bâtiment antique de Trouguer en Cléden-Cap-Sizun (Finistère) s’apparente, par son plan et ses dimensions, à plusieurs sanctuaires urbains de Gaule. La découverte, sur le site, d’un nombre assez élevé de statuettes de bronze et surtout d’armes de fer tend aussi à corroborer l’hypothèse selon laquelle il y aurait là un temple maritime de tradition laténienne, sans doute en activité dès le début de l’époque romaine.

Le celtique *dubno- et *albio- dans un ensemble de noms de peuples, de dieux, de personnes et de lieux
Authors: Lacroix Jacques
Published: December 2019

Les thèmes celtiques *dubno- et *albio- ont généré, dans une série de pays jadis celtes, des noms de peuples : Dumnonii, Damnonii, Geidumni, Ostidamni, Albici, Albiones ; des noms de dieux : Dobnoredos, Veriugodumnus, * Dubnocaratius, Albius, Albarinus, Albiorix ; des noms de personnes : Dubnorix, Dubnovellaunus, Dumnacus, Vercondaridubnus, Cogidumnus, Albanus, Albiorix, Albucius… Ils ont aussi fait naître des appellations de localités, de hauteurs et de rivières, demeurées dans le Devon, Roanne, l’île Dumet, la blanche Albion, les Alpes, Alba-la-Romaine, Albacete, Albenga, l’Elbe et l’Aube… Les deux radicaux restaient mystérieux dans leur sens. L’étude montre qu’ils ont été liés au lever et au coucher du soleil, aux orientations de l’est et de l’ouest. Des valeurs cosmogoniques, mythiques, religieuses s’y sont ajoutées. Deux dieux cavaliers dirigeaient la montée du soleil dans le ciel clair et sa disparition dans la profondeur impénétrable. Les mouvements journaliers de l’astre étaient aussi ceux des saisons et des vies, qui naissent et meurent pour réapparaître.

Le traitement des paragraphes 80 à 88 de l’Historia regum Britannie dans le «Brut» islandais
Authors: Tétrel Hélène
Published: December 2019

L’Historia regum Britannie de Geoffroy de Monmouth fut adaptée dans de nombreuses langues vernaculaires. L’adaptation islandaise (la Saga des Bretons) est conservée dans quatre témoins médiévaux, qui tous présentent des variantes importantes et/ou des lacunes en comparaison du texte latin. Le présent article, après avoir présenté la tradition manuscrite de la Saga des Bretons, s’intéresse plus particulièrement à l’épisode, conjoint dans la tradition galfrédienne, de sainte Ursule et du peuplement de l’Armorique (Historia regum Britannie, § 80 à 88). Cet épisode est rapporté dans deux des témoins, qui offrent deux versions différentes, quoique l’une et l’autre soient dérivées d’une même traduction norroise (aujourd’hui perdue). Le traitement de cette séquence montre tout d’abord la même incohérence dans le traitement de l’épisode du peuplement de la Bretagne ; il se signale aussi par l’usage de matériaux hagiographiques additionnels, qu’il partage avec d’autres textes islandais contemporains.

Published: December 2019

Building construction industry is considered to have a strategic role in national infrastructure development. Through the 2015-2019 National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN), national development is gradually being realized by the government to achieve community prosperity. It is indicated that the implementation of infrastructure development affects the net income of related companies, both nominal and percentage (net profit margin). This study is intended to determine the difference in net income of building construction companies before and after the implementation of the 2015-2019 RPJMN 2015-2017 period.This study was tested using paired samples t-test to examine differences in net income of the companies sampled before and after the implementation of the 2015-2019 RPJMN. The sampling method was purposive sampling, so that four issuers were sampled, namely WIKA, ADHI, WSKT, and PTPP.The results showed that the sample data were normally distributed. The first hypothesis was rejected because the results of paired samples t-test showed the value of Sig. (0.003) <α (0.05). Similar rejection occurs in the second hypothesis indicated by the value of Sig. (0.009) <α (0.05). With these results, it can be concluded that there is a difference between net income and net profit margins in building construction companies listed in the JII 2011-2017 period before and after the implementation of national infrastructure development.

A conceptual model for understanding the behavioural bias that affects investing in cryptocurrency is proposed. The biases are herding, optimism, overconfidence, confirmation bias, loss aversion, and gamblers’ fallacy.  This paper ought to fill the research gap on cryptocurrency from the behavioral perspective. This paper implies that prices and Bitcoin transactions are more determined by psychological factors.
FINE-TUNING OF MODELLING STRATEGY TO SIMULATE THERMO-MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF DOUBLE FRICTION PENDULUM SEISMIC ISOLATORS UST ESTIMATOR
Authors: Bianco Vincenzo , Monti Giorgio , Belfiore Nicola Pio
Published: December 2019

The use of friction pendulum devices has recently attracted the attention of both academic and professional engineers for the protection of structures in seismic areas. Although the effectiveness of these has been shown by the experimental testing carried out worldwide, many aspects still need to be investigated for further improvement and optimisation. A thermo-mechanical model of a double friction pendulum device (based on the most recent modelling techniques adopted in multibody dynamics) is presented in this paper. The proposed model is based on the observation that sliding may not take place as ideally as is indicated in the literature. On the contrary, the fulfilment of geometrical compatibility between the constitutive bodies (during an earthquake) suggests a very peculiar dynamic behaviour composed of a continuous alternation of sticking and slipping phases. The thermo-mechanical model of a double friction pendulum device (based on the most recent modelling techniques adopted in multibody dynamics) is presented. The process of fine-tuning of the selected modelling strategy (available to date) is also described.
SEISMIC ISOLATION OF HOSPITALS IN PERU: A CASE STUDY WITH DRAFT PERUVIAN CODE
Authors: Tinco Joel Moscoso , Pelaez Juan Alejandro Muñoz
Published: December 2019

Seismic isolation is a seismic protection technique for buildings which has been recently introduced in Peru. More than twenty seismically isolated buildings exist in Peru, at present. Seismic isolators in many of these buildings have been designed using foreign codes developed for foreign seismic conditions in the absence of local design code. These conditions may not accurately represent Peruvian seismicity. The mandatory use of seismic isolators in new major hospital buildings has been established recently in the Peruvian seismic design code. Available studies in Peru indicate that most health centres may be temporarily affected after a rare seismic event. The seismic isolation Peruvian code is being developed taking into account the needs and implications of Peruvian seismicity. This paper presents the design procedure of the seismic isolation system of a representative four storey reinforced concrete hospital block. The requirements of the draft code for seismic isolation and the current seismic code have been used. The design process and verification show reasonable response of the structure in terms of drifts and acceleration even after including maximum and minimum modification factors of properties for the seismic isolation bearings.

Cervical synovial cysts (SC), however uncommon, can cause radiculopathy and myelopathy. In this study, we report a case of a cervical synovial cyst presented as myelopathy. A 48-year-old man presented with gait disturbance decreased touch senses and increased sensitivity to pain below the C5 level. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 0.3-mm, bilateral mirror-like small cystic lesion in the spinal canal with cord compression at the C5-6 level. We performed a bilateral expansive laminoplasty of C5 using a posterior approach and completely removed the cystic mass. Histological examination of the resected mass revealed fibrous tissue fragments with amorphous materials and granulation tissue compatible with a synovial cyst. The patient’s symptoms resolved within 3 months after surgery.
Although cervical SC is often associated with degenerative facet joints, clinicians must be aware that SC may lead to neurological deficits.

Published: December 2019

Neste artigo buscou-se elaborar um quadro geral sobre os pontos substanciais da Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica. Desenvolvida pelo filósofo e educador Dermeval Saviani (1943-), a Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica assenta-se na proposta de contextualização do saber sistematizado à realidade da prática social. Partindo-se de uma perspectiva sincrética do conhecimento, pretende-se chegar ao concreto pensado através de procedimentos que envolvam a problematização e a instrumentalização teórico-prática onde os alunos, com a mediação do professor, entrarão em contato com o saber construído historicamente, objetivando-se, ao fim, a conversão desses alunos em agentes ativos da transformação social. Neste artigo, mediante levantamento bibliográfico composto majoritariamente por autores marxistas, foram descritos três dos principais pilares da Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica: o trabalho, compreendido como princípio da educação; o materialismo histórico-dialético, entendido como uma abordagem específica para essa pedagogia e para a interpretação do real; e a síntese, concebida como objetivo e finalidade da Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica, a ser obtida através da perspectiva analítica da realidade.

Published: December 2019

This study attempted to explore the connection between credit risk management and the profitability of the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) listed commercial banks. The study specifically sought to examine the relationship between credit risk and the profitability of the firms as measured by ROA. The study adopted these variables to measure credit risk (non-performing loan ratio, cost per loan asset, capital reserved 0.1ratio and asset growth ratio) and return on asset (ROA) as a profitability estimator. Following some diagnostic and specification studies to address the fundamental assumptions of the Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM). The study uncovered that NPLR had a significantly negative effect on the firms’ profitability as measured by ROA [β=-0.1671, (p=0.1360)>0.05]. Also, the cost per loan asset (CPLA) had a positive influence on the firms’ profitability as measured by ROA [β= 0.0249, (p=0.8252)>0.05]. For the other variables of credit risk measurements, capital reserved ratio, and assets growth ratio. The capital reserve ratio had a significant positive association with ROA [β=0.2867, (p=0.0095) <0.05. Similarly, asset growth ratio had a statistically significant negative connection with firm’s profitability measured by ROA [β=-0.3835, (p=0.0004) <0.05. Based on the results, the study suggested that since credit risk had a negative association with the firm’s profitability, the companies should adopt efficient credit risk management methods to assist guide their profitability. This point is raised because, as demonstrated by the results of the study, an increase in credit risk led to a decrease in the profitability of the companies.
