Published: October 2023

In the conditions of the spread of dynamic globalization processes, migration is a natural phenomenon and an existential sign of the development of all countries of the world. Migration movements, which are characterized by considerable scales, have turned into a significant factor in the development of the globalized world. They influence the formation of the quantitative and qualitative composition of the population, socio-demographic and economic development, political and cultural spheres, etc. The article analyzes the problem of the impact of labor migration on the social security of the state. Factors that are influenced by emigration and immigration of labor resources are studied: social, demographic, political, economic, as well as the motives of Ukrainians going abroad. The negative impact of migration on social insecurity due to illegal employment, lack of social insurance is determined; limited social protection of migrants; unsettled issue of pension provision for Ukrainians working in countries with which there are no interstate agreements. In addition, the positive impact of labor migration on the acquisition of knowledge, improvement of qualifications, development of new technologies, professions, systems of organizing migrant production, improvement of the standard of living of migrant households, and reduction of poverty is determined. The impact of labor migration on the receiving state (social benefits for migrants, providing them with housing, transport, education, etc.) and the country of origin ("brain drain", competition in the labor market with local residents, reducing the general level of wages, improve the economic condition of their country by sending earned funds, etc.). According to the results of the study of the dynamics of the number of migrants arriving in Ukraine, it was established that their number has decreased. The assessment of the dynamics of the existing population showed that the population of Ukraine has decreased significantly. It was analyzed that the number of citizens who left the country decreased. Military operations in Ukraine provoked a significant number of able-bodied citizens to leave. As of February 2023, the number of Ukrainians living in different countries is 799,000. The majority plans to return to Ukraine, but there are some citizens who want to stay.

In order to get out of the crisis, rebuild the economy and its further development, it is necessary to increase the level of investment of domestic enterprises. Investment cash flows, which are associated with investment in the material and technical base of the enterprise, its personnel, in the implementation of social projects, will ensure economic recovery and growth. It has been studied that the cash flows of the business entity occupy a key place in the management system, and their optimization should be aimed at increasing the efficiency of resource use and the development of the enterprise. The sources of cash receipts and the ways of their disposal in terms of types of activity (operational, financial, investment) were analyzed. It is proven that operational activity accumulates operations related to the production and sale of products (goods, works, services). Accordingly, it provides the main share of the company's income and generates the main cash flow. In the context of cash flow management, their principles are highlighted: efficiency, balance, liquidity, optimization, information reliability and credibility. The indicators of the ratio analysis of cash flows are summarized with the selection of three groups of indicators: liquidity, financial stability, cash flow. It is substantiated that balanced approaches to cash flow optimization play an important role in the formation of the financial policy of the enterprise at any stage of its development, especially during the war period. To improve the economic stability of the enterprise, parameters for balancing cash flows have been selected. Based on the principles of cash flow management, their organizational stages are highlighted: 1) completeness, reliability of cash accounting, objectivity of financial reporting indicators; 2) estimation of cash flows for previous reporting periods; 3) optimization of cash flows taking into account the peculiarities of economic activity; 4) cash flow planning in terms of types of activity: operational, financial, investment; 5) control over the movement of cash flows, detection of deviations from the planned indicators. It has been proven that the effective management of cash flows is determined by the synchronization of income and expenses, maintaining the constant solvency of the enterprise.

Published: October 2023

In the article the specifics of approaches to identifying the essence of «financial resources» are discussed. The key approaches to understanding the essence of the concept have been determined and it has been established that this term means: the amount of future income; the amount of cash receipts in the future (next) period, that is, the volume of its positive cash flow; the amount of money that the company has on a certain date; capital in monetary form; funds at the disposal of the enterprise; part of money in the form of income and external income; the main means of production. It has been established that this concept is used to describe processes related to the financial management of enterprises. Also, in the article a classification of financial resources of an enterprise by the types of economic activity, sources of formation, investment objects, turnover, nature of use, directions of attraction, types of assets formed, sources of asset coverage, degree of liquidity of assets, probability of repayment, liabilities, purpose, material structure, term of use, investment object, purpose of use, stage of formation, expenses or directions of use are presented. When identifying the essence of the concept, it is important to identify the sources of financial resources. The article considers the concept of external financial resources, which come from external sources and may mean a partial loss of ownership of the business, and internal financial resources, which are generated within the organization and are more economical from the business point of view. Also, in the article was determined that "financial resources" is a fully applied concept that allows streamlining an important component of management of a modern enterprise – financial management as a system of management of formation, distribution and use of financial resources of an economic entity and optimization of its cash flow. It wass determined that the process of financial resources management is subordinated to the overall strategy of enterprise management and is aimed at achieving the planned criteria for the effectiveness of economic activity. The solution to these tasks is realized through its functional purpose, which is to ensure the timely provision of production and investment activities of an enterprise with a sufficient amount of financial resources.

Public policies and financing for Mexican SMEs in the face of the Covid19 pandemic
Authors: Tregear Manuel
Published: October 2023

Background and objectives: This article is focused on understanding the impact of public policies on Small and Medium Enterprises, especially in terms of financial support in the face of the crisis caused by the Covid19 pandemic. To this end, the hypothesis is presented that this support was not sufficient to restore the performance of these companies.
Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive statistics methods are used based on statistics, censuses, and official government surveys, as well as analysis of national public policies in the region.
Findings: The results converge with the theoretical approach on the endogenous limitations of Small and Medium Enterprises to access bank funding. Prior to the pandemic, there was a low level of access to such funding, which over time generated companies with deteriorated financial structures vulnerable to crises. The policies have not generated a more fluid relationship between companies and funding from formal financial institutions, generating a strong bond with suppliers.
Conclusion: The policies that were implemented were palliative, in the context of the crisis; however, the problem of the fragility of these companies persists, which requires directing policies to strengthen them considering their fundamental contribution to the country's business structure.

Authors: Kubiatko Milan
Published: October 2023

Disinterest is obviously defined as a cause to regard something with no interest or concern. As it is mentioned in many studies, the interest in school subjects is decreasing. The factors causing this state are many, the excessive using of different information and communication devices among students of different age cohorts diverts attention from the learning topics and materials, and it can cause disinterest in students about all schools’ activity. The teachers and also researchers are trying to suggest many activities and improvements to eliminate disinterest. It is possible to mention an option, how to stop decreasing interest in any school subject, and it is possible to find it in the relatively new curricular efforts. As a good example serves STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects. STEM is introduced, used and popular in some countries, where the educational process is developing and where there is an effort to focus on the student(s).

Authors: Chao Yu-Long
Published: October 2023

With a conviction that general education should play a significant role in fostering the positive development of university students’ character, several educators integrated various activities that could contribute to such development into general education courses in a technical university in Taiwan. This study surveyed the takers and non-takers of those courses and compared the differences in the scores of eight aspects of character development between the two groups of students. Results revealed that the implemented courses brought up small gains, particularly for male students in the second year, in most of the aspects including “logic and innovation,” “social practices,” “citizenship,” “growth in learning,” and “proactiveness and autonomy.” Female students were found to score significantly higher than male counterparts in all of the aspects and the scores of most aspects exhibited a declining trend with the increasing university years. These results were discussed from the perspectives of the teaching strategies advantageous for character development as well as the mental difference between first-year and third- or fourth-year students.

Abstract-The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of the crown witness in the premeditated murder case of Brigadier Joshua associated with the principle of non-self-incrimination and the obstacles to using a crown witness in the premeditated murder case of Brigadier Joshua associated with the principle of non-self-incrimination. This writing research method uses a normative juridical method with three approaches, namely the statutory approach (statute approach), conceptual approach (conceptual approach), and case approach (case approach). The results of the research on the role of the crown witness in the premeditated murder case of Brigadier Joshua were linked to the principle of non-self-incrimination, there were five defendants who were used as crown witnesses against the other defendants namely Ferdy Sambo, Putri Candrawathi, Bripka Ricky Rizal, Strong Ma'ruf and Bharada E However, there were two defendants who refused to be the crown witness for the other defendant, namely Ferdy Sambo who refused to be a witness for Putri Candrawathi, and vice versa Putri Candrawathi refused to be a witness for Ferdy Sambo. With this in mind, there are obstacles that come from obstacles to the defendant, obstacles to evidence, and obstacles to the trial judge. Based on this study, the use of crown witnesses in court proceedings is common. Aims to open the veil of crime from the defendant who was used as a witness. However, the use of crown witnesses must still pay attention to the human rights of the accused. In criminal law theory, this provision is referred to as the principle of non-self-incrimination, namely the defendant has the right not to provide information that incriminates himself (privilege against self-incrimination), which in practice the attitude of silence and not admitting to the accused is used as an excuse or circumstance that can be aggravating for punishing the accused.

Do Traders Front-Run News? Evidence From Form 8-K Disclosures of Class Action Lawsuit Settlements
Authors: Nguyen Doanh Zone , Vemala Prasad
Published: October 2023

Using a novel and unique dataset of class action settlement announcements from Form 8-K disclosures as a proxy for private information, we tested whether traders front-run on the announcements and whether traders capture cumulative abnormal return (CAR) surrounding the disclosures. Although overall volume does rise, there is no statistically significant evidence of front-running Form 8-K disclosures and no CAR surrounding the disclosures. This study, nonetheless, contributes to the literature by providing further evidence from a new dataset of class action litigation settlements that there is no front-running of news. The findings contribute to the contrary – albeit less popular – collection of studies that show traders do not have access to private information upon which to exploit through front-running to capture CAR.

The article looks at how the Internet can be imagined as a kind of psychedelic technology – in the sense of ‘manifesting’ new realities – through the lens of different ideas associated with Deleuze and Guattari. It considers a darker strain of their ideas and their reception, initially looking back to discussions from earlier cybertheory before taking as its case study the production of ‘microfascist’ subjectivities on the notorious website 4chan – arguably the point of origin of both the ‘alt-right’ and ‘QAnon’. To unpack this case study, the article develops the idea of ‘weird mediation’ (in dialogue with Gilbert Simondon), as well as considering some ‘shamanic’ aspects from Deleuze and Guattari’s thought (in dialogue with Carlos Castenada), which together offer insights and warnings about the power of mind manifesting technologies.
Critical Minerals and the Global Energy Transition: Recognising Global South Perspectives
Authors: Nakanwagi Susan
Published: October 2023

This study analyses the complexity of the global value chain for critical minerals needed to power the current global energy transition. The Global South possesses copious amounts of minerals such as copper, graphite, lithium, cobalt, and nickel, making it a focal point in the energy transition. Responsible and prudent utilisation of the Global South's mineral resources will support its economic growth and development. To realise this potential, however, it is necessary to recognise the unique requirements of these broad regions, which go beyond economic importance and security of supply, typically the primary determinants of minerals criticality in the Global North. Developing a sustainable value chain for critical minerals in the Global South requires robust policy and legal and regulatory frameworks incorporating environmental protection, social responsibility, and harnessing the economic benefits of a growing mining industry. This article sets out some of the policy foundations that may contribute to the design of these frameworks.
National Resource Control in Latin America: Shifting Dynamics of Lithium and Mineral Reserves amidst Rising Commodity Prices
Authors: Burnett Henry G
Published: October 2023

Latin America has become a prominent producer of lithium, a crucial metal for electric vehicle batteries and clean energy technologies. The region possesses a significant share of the world’s lithium reserves, attracting attention from global stakeholders. However, governments in Latin America are asserting greater control over the mineral’s industry. Chile plans to establish a state-owned enterprise for lithium production, potentially requiring private companies to form joint ventures with the government. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Chile are engaged in discussions regarding the creation of a lithium OPEC-like organization aimed at controlling global prices. Bolivia already exercises near-complete control over its lithium industry. These developments reflect a trend of increased government control over strategic mineral resources with implications for the global supply chain of lithium and clean energy transitions.
Celestial Variability and Keats's ‘Bright star’
Authors: Hasted Meegan
Published: October 2023

Early in his career the astronomer William Herschel argued that the appearance of ‘so many changes among the stars’ – stars materialising out of nowhere and stars gradually vanishing, stars fluctuating in brightness and stars changing position – ‘should cause a strong suspicion that most probably every star in the heaven is more or less in motion’. Given his knowledge of modern astronomy, Keats's plea to be as ‘stedfast’ as the bright star might be considered deliberately retrograde: the aesthetic privileging of an ideal by a sky-gazing lover indifferent to empirical science. This essay argues, on the contrary, that the ‘Bright star’ sonnet seizes upon a figurative paradox produced in a period of epistemological transition. The indeterminacy of the bright star image introduces an affective dimension to the sonnet more in keeping with its Petrarchan roots and captures an essential quality of even steadfast lovers: changeability.
Shelley's Scattered Words in China
Authors: Li Ou
Published: October 2023

This essay reflects on Percy Bysshe Shelley's peculiar afterlife in twentieth-century China. It first traces Shelley's reception history by discussing his introduction during the late Qing era, the Republican popularisation of Shelley, and Communist China's curious endorsement of him. From this almost undisrupted trajectory of increasingly enthusiastic advocacy, sharply contrasting with Shelley's controversial English critical heritage, the essay argues that Chinese readers of Shelley radically appropriated him. It then attempts to tease out the complex forces at play in this process by proposing two major means of appropriation: reduction and transmission. Reduction was achieved by censoring unacceptable elements in Shelley's poetry, philosophy, and biography. Meanwhile, Shelley was almost exclusively transmitted through an authoritarian critical discourse. Linguistic transmission played a crucial role as well, and Chinese translation often toned down certain quintessential Shelleyan stylistic features. The essay concludes that the uneasy relationship between Shelley's poetics and politics might have encouraged Chinese appropriation which, ironically, was made by an authoritarian state ideology and institution – the very powers that Shelley had so fiercely opposed.
“For the Record”: applying linguistics to improve evidential consistency in police investigative interview records

The “For the Record” project (FTR) is a collaboration between a team of linguistic researchers and police in the England & Wales jurisdiction (E&W). The aim of the project is to apply insights from linguistics to improve evidential consistency in police interview transcripts, which are routinely produced by transcribers employed by the police. The research described in this short report is intended as a pilot study, before extension nationally. For this part of the project, we analysed several types of data, including interview audio and transcripts provided by one force. This identified key areas where current transcription practise could be improved and enhanced, and a series of recommendations were made to that force. This pilot study indicates that there are three core components of quality transcription production in this context: Consistency, Accuracy, and Neutrality. We propose that the most effective way to address the issues identified is through developing new training and guidance for police interview transcribers.
Pumping-induced reactivation of a pre-existing normal fault: insights from a centrifuge model test

Published: October 2023

Pumping-induced normal fault reactivation and the resultant ground fracture have been observed in faulted basins worldwide, but the process and mechanism are poorly understood thus far. In this study, we conducted centrifuge model tests to investigate and analyze these issues. Two simplified faulted models, Models 1 and 2, were developed based on an actual event that occurred in the Beijing Plain, China. Our model tests reproduced the pumping-induced normal fault reactivation, characterized by localized hanging wall subsidence with new fault scarp formation in the models. The monitoring results showed that water table decline drastically accelerated uneven subsidence. Although the deformation pattern did not respond to variations in the material properties of the hanging wall and footwall, the magnitude of the reactivated normal faulting was influenced. The maximum vertical offset in Model 2 was much larger than that in Model 1 due to a larger compression modulus in the hanging wall and footwall in Model 2. Furthermore, the reactivation mechanism was revealed based on Anderson’s faulting theory. Normal faulting occurs once the maximum principal stress becomes vertical and the intermediate and minimum principal stresses become horizontal. Groundwater pumping increases the effective stress, leading to the addition of vertical stress and the resultant normal fault reactivation. Our findings provide a better understanding of human interactions with the Earth’s surface and are helpful for mitigating faulting-caused disasters.
Centering and marginalization in introductory university physics classrooms
Authors: Scherr Rachel E. , Hairston W. Tali , McKagan Sarah B. , Miller Sophie
Published: October 2023

Introduction

Research-based instructional strategies in physics promote active participation in collaborative activities as a primary means for students to construct understanding. Discussions of physics content are also negotiations of social relations.

Methods

Video analysis of small-group collaborative learning activities in introductory physics classrooms at three different universities, using situated learning theory analyses that include a critical consciousness lens.

Results

Students’ ability to actively participate in sensemaking may be limited by their peripheral or marginalized position. Some people seem to be centered (or marginalized) for reasons other than the strength of their physics reasoning, and some people’s contributions are elevated (or neglected) for reasons other than their scientific merit.

Discussion

Some of the behavioral patterns that we observe typify racialized and gendered interactions that are common in broader U.S. society.
Hypoglycemia unawareness among insulin-treated diabetic patients in Madinah, Saudi Arabia: prevalence and risk factors

Published: October 2023

Background

Hypoglycemia unawareness (HU) is associated with significant risks. Screening for impaired awareness of hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes is important to minimize those risks. There are limited data on the prevalence of HU in patients with diabetes in Saudi Arabia (KSA). In the current study, we investigated the frequency of HU and its risk factors among insulin treated diabetic patients in Madinah, KSA.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in a diabetes center and four primary healthcare centers at Madinha, KSA. Patients ≥14 years old with type 1 or type 2 diabetes treated with insulin for more than a year were included. HU was assessed by Clarke’s and modified Pedersen-Bjergaard’s scores. The risk factors for HU were determined.

Results

Of the 413 included patients, 60.3% were women, and 60.8% were on insulin alone. One-third of the participants had T1DM, while 68.5% had T2DM, with median ages of 25 and 56 years, diabetes durations of 10 and 15 years, and durations of insulin use of 10 and 5 years, respectively. The prevalence of HU was 25.2% by Clarke’s survey. The risk factors for HU were poor knowledge of the patient’s latest HbA1c, type of insulin, and dose of insulin. Poor medical follow-up, previous stroke, and ischemic heart disease were the other risk factors for HU. When the modified Pedersen-Bjergaard method was used, the prevalence of HU was 48.9%.

Conclusion

Despite the advances in diabetes management, HU continues to be prevalent among diabetic patients on insulin, and poor diabetes knowledge is a major risk factor. Diabetes education on self-management is of utmost importance to reduce hypoglycemia and HU.
