Authors: Nasir Ali , Kechema Tarik
Published: August 2023

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the perception  to wards the burden of regulation on the performance and growth of SMEs in Silate Zone, SNNPRS, Ethiopia . To attain the intended objective the study used quantitative research of descriptive statistics and multiple regression for pooled least squares estimations method used. Bassed on the accessed data, there were 1718 formally registered SMEs in the form of private limited companies and sole proprietor types of legal status in Silte Zone, SNNRS from 2016 to 2021. The result of this mixed approach explores that SMEs face challenges from different factors but, they perceived challenges from regulatory burden outweigh other factors. Pooled multiple regression for all independent and control variables simultaneous indicated that, except for inapproprate enforcement of regulatory fream works (0.157) and compatibility in the globa market of SMEs rate (0.213) all variables had negative coefficient. At the same time, apart from debt ratio p-value (0.258) all variables are significant at 1 percent degree of freedom. The value of adjusted R2 is 75.2 percent; while Durbin-Watson and F-statistic are, 1.47 and 25.81 respectively. The result also identifies mechanisms mostly used by SMEs to mitigate problems from regulations and how much the regulators have smooth contact with them and to what extent the regulators made inspection, consultation and communication. Moreover, the result identifies the relation between regulations and SMEs performance and growth based on their view i.e. they have positively related each other. As a whole, the study suggests a series of measures which could be taken by the government policy makers/regulators and for SMEs. This measure includes to adopt government impact assessment task force and review the existing regulations how much they enable and constrain businesses and at the same manner suggest for SMEs to incorporate different mechanisms to comply with regulation rather than rely more on specific mechanisms.

Mapeamento do registro de marcas no Brasil e os efeitos causados pela Pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: Ladeira Carolina Barbosa Gomes , Bandeira Maria da Glória Almeida , Camara Adriana Leandro
Published: August 2023

RESUMO
O processo de registro de marca no Brasil é realizado pelo Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial (INPI). Muitos empresários não registram as suas marcas, muitas das vezes por não conhecerem como o processo funciona. A pandemia de covid-19 trouxe novas oportunidades de negócios, o que pode ter influenciado no pedido de registro deste ativo intangível pelas empresas. Com o objetivo de realizar um mapeamento do registro de marcas no Brasil e os efeitos causados pela pandemia de covid-19, foi elaborado um levantamento das informações contidas no site do INPI, na área “estatística e estudos econômicos”, nas seções “estatística” e “relatórios” ao longo de 2014 a 2021. Os resultados mostraram que o número de solicitações de registro de marca cresceu ao longo dos anos de 2014 a 2021, sendo impulsionado durante a pandemia. Conclui-se que o requerimento de registro deste ativo e sua concessão no Brasil está em crescimento e que a pandemia não afetou o pedido de registro de marca dos residentes, porém afetou dos não residentes. Entretanto, ainda há muitos pedidos não concedidos, o que pode ser reflexo da falta de informação e acompanhamento do processo de registro de marca.

Published: August 2023

Resumo O objetivo do presente trabalho foi verificar a importância atribuída ao financiamento público por PMEs inovadoras com atuação no Brasil e a percepção dos gestores quanto ao nível de exigências e de condicionantes para acesso aos recursos. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, aplicando-se 13 entrevistas em profundidade com PMEs inovadoras, finalistas do Prêmio Nacional de Inovação. Como resultado, constatou-se que a maioria das empresas participantes utilizam ou já utilizaram recursos públicos e reconhecem sua importância para o desenvolvimento de seus projetos inovadores. Todavia, criticaram o excesso de burocracia para sua obtenção, a exigência de garantias incompatíveis com seu patrimônio e a necessidade de conhecimento técnico para se enquadrarem nos editais dos órgãos concedentes. As descobertas são importantes evidências para ações governamentais que visem facilitar o acesso desse grupo de empresas a subsídios e recursos oriundos do governo.

Resumo: Considera-se empreendedor por necessidade aquele que teve seu negócio efetivado por falta de outras possibilidades para a geração de renda e de ocupação; e considera-se empreendedor por oportunidade aquele que iniciou seu negócio por ter identificado uma oportunidade de negócio viável no ambiente em que atua (GEM, 2018). Nesse contexto, o presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar as motivações que levaram os MEIs localizados no Mato Grosso à formalização. Tal estudo classifica-se em pesquisa quantitativa e descritiva, com realização de survey, dispondo de coleta de dados obtidos por meio de questionário aplicado por contato telefônico pelos pesquisadores, totalizando 78 empreendedores individuais entrevistados. Os dados foram tratados através das seguintes técnicas estatísticas: estatística descritiva e conjoint analysis. Os resultados encontrados, no que se refere às motivações, apresentaram a maior parte dos MEIs com escolhas de característica de oportunidade. No caso, ter seu próprio negócio/ser independente financeiramente foi a característica mais votada. Em relação ao método, 75,64% dos empreendedores informaram “por oportunidade”, ou seja, ambos os métodos chegaram à conclusão de que os empreendedores entrevistados, em sua maioria, foram levados à formalização pela oportunidade. Esse resultado vai de encontro com a proposição do estudo que o MEI se caracterizava como empreendedor por necessidade.

İlaca Bağlı Dişeti Büyümesi ve Cerrahi Olmayan Tedavisi: Bir Olgu Sunumu
Authors: MUSLU Zeliha
Published: August 2023

İlaca bağlı dişeti büyümeleri antikonvülzan, immünsüpresan ve kalsiyum kanal blokörleri gibi önemli ilaç gruplarının kullanımına bağlı olarak karşılaşılmaktadır. Bu ilaç gruplarının reçete edildiği hastalar için ilacın kullanımı genel sağlık durumları için elzemdir ve bu da sürecin yönetilmesini zorlaştırmaktadır. Amlodipin, hipertansiyon tedavisinde sıklıkla kullanılan üçüncü kuşak dihidropiridin kalsiyum kanal blokeridir. Nifedipin'den daha uzun etkili ve daha az yan etkiye sahip dihidropiridin türevidir. Amlodipin kaynaklı dişeti büyümesi, kalsiyum kanal blokerleri arasında nispeten daha az görülmektedir. İlaca bağlı dişeti büyümelerinde tedavi yaklaşımı ağız hijyeninin iyileştirilmesi, plak retansiyonuna sebep olan faktörlerin eliminasyonu ve başlangıç periodontal tedavi sonrası rezidüel büyümelerin cerrahi olarak uzaklaştırılması şeklindedir.

Bu olgu sunumunda 54 yaşındaki kadın hasta dişetlerinde zamanla artan büyümeler ve dişeti kanaması şikayetleri ile başvurmuştur. 5 yıldır hipertansiyon tanısı ile amlodipin türevi ilaç kullanım öyküsü olduğu öğrenilen hastanın intraoral muayenesinde anterior bölgede yaygın dişeti büyümeleri, yoğun plak ve diştaşı birikimi gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca etkilenen dişlerde Miller III mobilite mevcuttur.

Başlangıç periodontal tedavisine başlanan hastanın kardiyoloji hekimi ile yapılan konsültasyonu sonucu iki kez ilaç değişikliği yapılmış, periodontal tedavi ve ümitsiz dişlerin çekimi sonrası rezidüel büyümelere cerrahi işlem planlanmış ancak randevu günü büyümelerin tamamen gerilediği gözlenmiştir. Restoratif tedavileri de biten hastanın yapılan 6. Ay kontrolünde nükse rastlanmamıştır.

İlaca bağlı dişeti büyümelerinde çoğunlukla cerrahi müdahale gerekse de, ilaç değişimi ve uygun plak kontrolü sonrası cerrahisiz iyileşme mümkün olabilmektedir. Hekimlere cerrahi öncesi fazı dikkatle takip etmelerini ve dokuya gereken zamanı tanımalarını önermekteyiz.
Nature of Reintegration Programmes for Returnee Terrorist Fighters in Mombasa County, Kenya
Authors: Ngachra Michael Osew , Onkware Kennedy
Published: August 2023

Terrorism is a global threat to peace, security, and prosperity. It also puts conflict resolution strategies to the test. The rise of global terrorism has led to the emergence of numerous extremist groups, which have attracted individuals from various regions, including Mombasa, Kenya. As these individuals return from engaging in terrorist activities, effective reintegration programs play a crucial role in countering further radicalization and promoting societal stability. The study sought to explore the nature of non-custodial reintegration programmes on returnee terrorist fighters in Mombasa. Because of the increasing acceptance and adoption of non-custodial reintegration strategies for returnee terrorist fighters in several countries, there is a growing recognition of the importance of both governmental and non-governmental actors contributing to the development and implementation of the programs. Kenya is no stranger to returning terrorist fighters and the threat they pose to peace and security. The research methodology used for this study combined qualitative and quantitative methods. A sample size of 400 respondents was needed for investigation from the target population of Mombasa County. The County was shown to have the highest rates of violent extremism and recidivism in Kenya. Primary data was collected using questionnaires. Interviews and focus groups discussion with key informants, gave participants insight into the viewpoints and experiences of various participants in the reintegration process. A desk examination of the literature was used to gather secondary data for the investigation. The study findings revealed that Kenya is combining classic counter-terrorist measures such as arrests, detentions, and movement restrictions with policies and programs for prevention, intervention, and reintegration. Factors such as psychological trauma, socioeconomic reintegration, and community acceptance are identified as critical elements that influence the effectiveness of these programs. Religious leaders, community organizations, and government agencies facilitate successful reintegration processes. The study recommends non-custodial reintegration for returnee terrorist fighters to be the best strategy that would provide a perfect opportunity for enhancing community resilience in fighting radicalization leading to terrorism in Kenya.

Sweep Interpolation: A Fourth-Order Accurate Cost Effective Scheme in the Global Environmental Multiscale Model
Authors: Mortezazadeh Mohammad , Cossette Jean-Francois , Dastoor Ashu , de Grandpré Jean , Ivanova Irena , Qaddouri Abdessamad
Published: August 2023

Abstract. The interpolation process is the most computationally expensive step of the semi-Lagrangian (SL) approach for solving advection which is commonly used in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. It has a significant impact on the accuracy of the solution and can potentially be the most expensive part of model integration. The sweep algorithm, which was first described by Mortezazadeh and Wang (2017), performs SL interpolation with the same computational cost as a third order polynomial scheme but with the accuracy of a fourth order interpolation scheme. This improvement is achieved by using two 3rd-order backward and forward polynomial interpolation schemes in two consecutive time steps. In this paper, we present a new application of the sweep algorithm within the context of global forecasts produced with Environment Climate Change Canada’s Global Environmental Multiscale (GEM) model. Results show that the sweep interpolation scheme is computationally more efficient compared to a conventional fourth order polynomial scheme, especially evident for increasing number of several advected several passive tracers. An additional advantage of this new approach is that its implementation in a chemical and weather forecast models requires minimum modifications of the interpolation weighting coefficients. An analysis of the computational performance for a set of theoretical benchmarks as well as a global ozone forecast experiment show that up to 15 % reduction in total wall clock time is achieved. Forecasting experiments using the global version of the GEM model and the new interpolation show that the sweep interpolation can perform very well in predicting ozone distribution, especially in the tropopause region where transport processes play a significant role.
Fast uplift in the Southern Patagonian Andes due to long and short term deglaciation and the asthenospheric window underneath
Authors: Muller Veleda Astarte Paiva , Sternai Pietro , Sue Christian
Published: August 2023

Abstract. An asthenospheric window underneath much of the South American continent increases the heat flow in the Southern Patagonian Andes, where glacial-interglacial cycles drive the building and melting of the Patagonian Icefields since the latest Miocene. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was reached ~20000 years ago, and an acceleration of the deglaciation rate is recorded since the Little Ice Age (LIA), ~400 years ago. Fast uplift rates of up to 41±3 mm/yr are measured by GNSS around the Southern Patagonian Icefield and currently ascribed to post-LIA lithospheric rebound, but the possible longer-term post-LGM rebound is poorly constrained. These uplift rates, in addition, are one order of magnitude higher than those measured on other glaciated orogens (e.g., the European Alps), which raises questions about the role of the asthenospheric window in affecting the vertical surface displacement rates. Here, we perform geodynamic thermo-mechanical numerical modelling to estimate the surface uplift rates induced by post-LIA and post-LGM deglaciation accounting for temperature dependent rheologies and different thermal regimes in the asthenosphere. Our modelled maximum postglacial rebound matches the observed uplift ratebudget only when both post-LIA and post-LGM deglaciation are accounted for and if a standard continental mantle potential temperature is increased by 150–200 °C. The asthenospheric window thus play a key role in controlling the magnitude of presently observed uplift rates in the Southern Patagonian Andes.
New ring shear deformation apparatus for three-dimensional multiphase experiments: first results
Authors: McLafferty Shae , Bix Haley , Bogatz Kyle , Reber Jacqueline E.
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Multiphase deformation, where a solid and fluid phase deform simultaneously, plays a crucial role in a variety of geological hazards, such as landslides, glacial slip, and the transition from earthquakes to slow slip. In all these examples, a continuous, viscous, or fluid-like phase is mixed with a granular or brittle phase, where both phases deform simultaneously when stressed. Understanding the interaction between the phases and how they will impact deformation dynamics is crucial to improve the hazard assessments for a wide variety of geohazards. Here, we present the design and first experimental results from a ring shear deformation apparatus capable of deforming multiple phases simultaneously. The experimental design allows for 3D observations during deformation in addition to unlimited shear strain, controllable normal force, and a variety of boundary conditions. To impose shear deformation, either the experimental chamber or lid rotate around its central axis while the other remains stationary. Normal and pulling force data are collected with force gauges located on the lid of the apparatus and between the pulling motor and the experimental chamber. Experimental materials are chosen to match the light refraction index of the experimental chamber, such that 3D observations can be made throughout the experiment with the help of a laser light sheet. We present experimental results where we deform hydropolymer orbs (brittle phase) and Carbopol® hydropolymer gel (fluid phase). Preliminary results show variability in force measurements and deformation styles between solid and fluid end-member experiments. The ratio of solids to fluids and their relative competencies in multiphase experiments control deformation dynamics, which range from stick–slip to creep. The presented experimental strategy has the potential to shed light on multiphase processes associated with multiple geohazards.
Dynamic Meteorology-induced Emissions Coupler (MetEmis) development in the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ): CMAQ-MetEmis

Published: August 2023

Abstract. There have been consistent efforts to improve the spatiotemporal representations of biogenic/anthropogenic emission sources for photochemical transport modeling for better accuracy of local/regional air quality forecasts. While biogenic emissions, bi-directional NH3 from fertilizer applications, and point source plume rise are dynamically coupled in the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) “inline”, there are still known meteorology-induced emissions sectors (e.g., on-road mobile sources, residential heating, and livestock waste), with little or no
accounting for the meteorological impacts in the currently operational chemical and aerosol forecasts, but they are represented with static, not weather-aware annual or monthly county total emissions and standard monthly, weekly, or daily temporal allocation profiles to disaggregate them on finer timescales for the hourly air quality forecasts. It often results in poor forecasting performance due to the poor spatiotemporal representations of precursor pollutants during high ozone and PM2.5 episodes. The main focus of this study is to develop a dynamic inline coupler within the CMAQ system for the on-road mobile emission sector that requires significant computational resources in the current
modeling application. To improve their accuracy and spatiotemporal
representations, we developed the inline coupler module called
CMAQ-MetEmis (for meteorology-induced emission sources within CMAQ version 5.3.2 modeling system). It can dynamically estimate meteorology-induced hourly gridded on-road mobile emissions within the CMAQ, using simulated meteorology without any computational burden to the CMAQ modeling system. To understand the impacts of meteorology-driven on-road mobile emissions on
local air quality, the CMAQ is applied over the continental U.S. for 2 months (January and July 2019) for two emissions scenarios, namely (a) “static” on-road vehicle emissions based on static temporal profiles and (b) inline CMAQ-MetEmis on-road vehicle emissions. Overall, the CMAQ-MetEmis coupler allows us to dynamically simulate on-road vehicle emissions from the MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) on-road emission model for CMAQ, with a better spatiotemporal representation based on the simulated meteorology inputs when compared to the static scenario.
The domain total of daily volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the inline scenario shows that the largest impacts are from the local meteorology, which is approximately 10 % lower than the ones from the static scenario. In particular, the major difference in the VOC estimates was shown over the California region. These local meteorology impacts on the on-road vehicle emissions via CMAQ-MetEmis revealed an improvement in the hourly NO2, daily maximum ozone, and daily average PM2.5 patterns, with a higher agreement and correlation with daily ground observations.

Published: August 2023

Abstract. The self-potential (SP) method is a sensitive geophysical means to locate seafloor polymetallic sulfide deposits. A reasonable SP forward modeling can provide a good foundation for inversion and interpretation of the measured data. We propose a method to solve the analytical solution of the SP generated by regularly polarized bodies in layered media. Based on the mirror image current theory, a new analytical formula was derived and clarified in detail for the models. We also discussed the analytical solution of layered models with different numbers of layers through numerical computation. Furthermore, a lab-based oxidation-reduction experiment was conducted to record the SP data. These data were used to simulate the SP generated by seafloor massive sulfide(SMS) deposits and assess the analytical solution previously. The result shows that the measured SP data matches the analytical solution well. That demonstrates the correctness of the proposed method and the corresponding analytical solution. It is significant to fast and precise forward modeling and inversion for SMS explorations.

Abstract. Restoring hydrological functions affected by economic development trajectories faces social and economic challenges. Given that stakeholders often have a partial understanding of socio-hydrological systems, it is expected that knowledge sharing among them will help to enhance their understanding of the socio-hydrological system and the consequences of land-use choices. A tool that simplifies the social-hydrological system but still accommodates the crucial part of the social and technical aspects is needed to facilitate collective learning. However, a simplification process has a risk that leads to very site-specific and difficult to adopt for different conditions. To address those issues, this study aims to develop a highly adaptable serious game to make it easily applied to any situation in order to facilitate co-learning among stakeholders regarding complex socio-hydrological problems. We designed a ‘serious’ game that revolves around a simple water balance and economic accounting, with environmental and financial consequences for the land users and balancing between relevant site-specificity and generic replicability of the game design. Here, we describe the development of the game and explore its capacity to visualize, discuss and explore Water: Use, Resources and Sustainability (‘H2Ours’) issues at the landscape scale. The game design for the H2Ours game was based on a combination of the Actors, Resources, Dynamics and Interaction (ARDI) and the Drivers, Pressure, State, Impact, and Responses (DPSIR) frameworks. The design steps for constructing the game led to a generic version, and two localized versions for two different landscapes in Indonesia: a mountain slope to lowland paddy landscape impacting groundwater availability in East Java, and a peatland with drainage-rewetting, oil palm conversion and fire as issues triggering responses in West Kalimantan. Based on evaluation referring to credibility, salience and legitimacy criteria, the H2Ours game can meet its purpose as a tool for knowledge transfer, learning and triggering action. We provide clear steps in designing and adapting the game to another area, which will facilitate the wider application and adaptation of the basic game design to other landscapes and policy-relevant issues.
Artifacts resembling Ediacaran or Cambrian fossils: how to identify them and avoid their generation

Abstract. The generation of artifacts during sample preparation must be
considered in paleobiological studies, particularly during the Ediacaran and
Cambrian, since such artifacts can assume forms similar to those of
cloudinids and other problematic taxa commonly described in samples from
these systems. Chemical reactions between hydrogen peroxide and sulfides
from the samples can lead to the formation of tubular and vase-shaped
structures. The visual description alone does not allow a conclusion about whether their
origin is organic or inorganic. In these cases, chemical composition and
ultrastructure analysis are tools that help to distinguish artifacts from
bona fide fossils. Scanning electron microscopy can be successfully employed
to characterize and differentiate fossils from artifacts. The presence or
absence of these structures in thin sections is also an essential piece of
information to discuss their biogenicity. Furthermore, not using hydrogen
peroxide avoids the risk of formation of the artifacts described here.

Abstract. The assessment of losses from strong earthquakes and the reduction of earthquake consequences are of a great importance in maintaining the seismic safety. Special attention is given to evaluating the magnitude of economic losses caused by earthquakes, particularly the assessment of different levels of seismic risk, in order to protect the population and territories located in seismically active areas. To ensure sustainable development of countries, it is essential to estimate the economic losses that will occur in regions due to strong earthquakes and forecast them within the specified return periods at a given probabilities. Measures can then be implemented to mitigate the consequences of earthquakes. For the basis of seismic risk assessment, maps of seismic intensity increment and an improved map of seismic hazard have been developed, taking into account the engineering-geological conditions of the territory of Uzbekistan and the seismic characteristics of soils. For seismic risk map development, databases were created based on GIS platforms allowing us to systematize and evaluate the regional distribution of information on seismic hazards, number of buildings and construction types, coefficient of the seismic vulnerability of buildings, cadastral value of buildings, etc.

Social interaction with peer pressure is widely studied in social network analysis. Game theory can be utilized to model dynamic social interaction and one class of game network models assumes that peopleos decision payoff functions hinge on individual covariates and the choices of their friends. However, peer pressure would be misidentified and induce a non-negligible bias when incomplete covariates are involved in the game model. For this reason, we develop a generalized constant peer effects model based on homogeneity structure in dynamic social networks. The new model can effectively avoid bias through homogeneity pursuit and can be applied to a wider range of scenarios. To estimate peer pressure in the model, we first present two algorithms based on the initialize expand merge method and the polynomial-time two-stage method to estimate homogeneity parameters. Then we apply the nested pseudo-likelihood method and obtain consistent estimators of peer pressure. Simulation evaluations show that our proposed methodology can achieve desirable and effective results in terms of the community misclassification rate and parameter estimation error. We also illustrate the advantages of our model in the empirical analysis when compared with a benchmark model.
Self-Efficacy, Depression, Anxiety and Stress of University Students: A Study by Mahalanobis Distance

Published: August 2023

In the current study, Mahalanobis distance is used to compare the differences between two groups of university students’ levels of self-efficacy, depression, anxiety, and stress. Differences between student groups for all dependent variables assessed at once aren’t taken into account. Mahalanobis distance is an effective metric for determining a group of variables’ dynamical character. For this study, three distinct dichotomous groupings of students are taken into account. Five dependent variables-general self-efficacy, specific self-efficacy, depression, anxiety, and stress-are compared using Mahalanobis Distance to see how dynamically they differ. It is discovered that the dynamical nature of five dependent variables for various sets of independent variables is not significantly different.

Keywords: General self-efficacy, Specific self-efficacy, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Mahalanobis distance, University students.
The effect of brand equity on Thai cosmetic purchasing decisions
Authors: Supapon Supannika , Sukhawatthanakun Kanyarat
Published: August 2023

The research objective is to investigate the effect of brand equity on Thai cosmetic purchasing decisions. The study involved 500 individuals aged 20-59 who had purchased and used Thai cosmetic products within the past year. A multistage sampling method was employed to select the participants. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires, and both descriptive and multivariate statistical analyses were conducted, explicitly utilizing Second-order Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. The research results showed four factors influencing the purchasing decisions of Thai brand cosmetic products: Brand Equity, Buying Behavior, Consumer Satisfaction, and Perceived Value. The Second-order Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Model demonstrated that these factors met the assessment criteria when applied to the empirical data. Consequently, if a brand can establish brand equity that surpasses its competitors in the eyes of consumers, it will contribute to long-term profitability and sustained growth.
