Financial Behavior in Personal Investment: Influence of Psychological Factors on Investment Decision
Authors: M A Nayeem Dr. Lakshmi V, D. Charumathi, , Dr Jagbir Singh Kadyan Dr. S. Vidya, Prof. Renuka Sagar,
Published: April 2024

In the ever-evolving realm of financial markets, understanding the underlying psychological dynamics shaping investor behavior is paramount. Financial behavior refers to the choices and actions people make when managing their own cash across a range of investment vehicles, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate. It includes components that are vital in determining the results of investments, including risk tolerance, investment objectives, decision biases, emotions, and financial literacy. Achieving long-term investment success and financial security requires an understanding of and ability to control one's own financial behavior. An extensive research model has been painstakingly built to clarify the complex connections between these psychological variables and the process of making investing decisions. This study examines the impact of three psychological aspects on investment decisions made by 220 investors who trade on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE): information asymmetry, problem framing, and risk propensity. Effective investing strategies necessitate an awareness of the interplay between psychological biases and cognitive processes, as these aspects influence personal investment decisions. By using a quantitative research methodology, information was gathered by sending surveys to investors who were actively trading stocks on the BSE and NSE platforms. Regression analysis and correlation studies are two statistical analytic approaches that were used to investigate the connections between investing decisions and psychological aspects. The study's conclusions add to the corpus of knowledge by illuminating the complex dynamics of financial decision-making and the part played by psychological variables. Furthermore, the knowledge gained from this study has important ramifications for financial advisors, investors, and legislators that aim to improve investor welfare and encourage well-informed stock market decision-making.

Published: April 2024

In spite of acknowledging the importance of sustainable and socially responsible practices; researchers have not been able to unanimously identify the priority areas of CSR for the automotive sector. This research was designed to understand the CSR activities of the global automakers in the Asian countries by applying the Carroll model wherein researchers wished to analyse the CSR programs of the global automakers, identify the priority CSR areas and assess the effect of CSR strategies on business performance of global automakers. Case study method was used in the existing study. This study utilised multiple case study research strategy whereby two automobile companies were studied in depth namely, Toyota and Volkswagen. The data for the study was secured from different- structured data sources like company reports, sustainability data records and media coverage. Data was analysed using content analysis. The study concluded that both companies are widely engaged in CSR initiatives that covered ethical, philanthropic, legal, and economic responsibilities. Toyota focused on their production process and policies that was employee centric, Volkswagen worked on industry modernization as well in their ethical practices. The philanthropic initiatives at both places worked towards education/training, employment generation, collaborations/partnerships, environmental and social welfare. Volkswagen also focused on sports and, art and cultural aspects in their humanitarian responsibilities. Both the peers were on the same page regarding economic practices where the cutting costs and improving efficiency was in focus. Both Toyota and Volkswagen gave more priority to the philanthropic and ethical aspect than the economic aspect. Both the companies experienced similar outcomes from these CSR initiatives like positive financial measures, quality metrics, brand identity improvement and differentiation, worker and consumer satisfaction, risk management and aversion, improved partnership opportunities.

Спонтанный остеонекроз коленного сустава (СОНК) все еще остается сложной задачей для диагностики и выбора стратегии лечения, а также обеспечения оптимального функционального результата у пациентов, по причине сложности дифференциальной диагностики и постановки диагноза. Аспекты рентген- и МРТ-диагностики в последнее время широко исследуются, ставя под вопрос этиологию данного заболевания. Целью данной работы является анализ публикации, посвященных вопросам диагностики и консервативного и оперативного лечения СОНК. Поиск проведен в научных базах данных PubMed, The Cochrane Library, eLIBRARY, Clinical Trials, CyberLeninka по ключевым словам: «спонтанный остеонекроз колена», «СОНК», «остеонекроз», «остеонекроз мыщелков большеберцовой и бедренной костей», «МРТ диагностика остеонекроза», «остеопоретические переломы», «субхондральная недостаточность», «тотальная артропластика коленного сустава», «однокомпонентная артропластика коленного сустава». Исследования показывают, что за последние годы были достигнуты значительные успехи в хирургическом лечении и методах диагностики СОНК. Однако препаратами выбора по-прежнему остаются нестероидные противовоспалительные препараты, так как бисфосфонаты не показали достаточной эффективности. На данном этапе, непрерывно ведутся разработки по усовершенствованию существующих консервативных методик лечения и диагностики. С появлением новых МРТ- и рентгенологических признаков, и прояснения этиологии заболевания, все больше практикующих врачей осведомлены о возможности развития СОНК как причины вторичного остеоартрита коленного сустава. Кроме того, появление новых методик хирургического вмешательства, немаловажно влияющих на биомеханику сустава, требуют комплексного подхода к каждому клиническому случаю, как с позиции хирурга, так и реабилитолога.

Introduction: Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are associated with neuronal injury in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Objective: To investigate the relationship between biomarkers of neurodegeneration and the inflammatory profile in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: A cross-sectional study including data on biochemical markers and clinical characteristics related to CSF biomarkers (p-tau, t-tau, and Aβ1-42) of 51 patients with MCI or AD was performed. Results:  A positive correlation between lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and both p-tau (r=0.548; p<0.001) and t-tau (r=0.757; p<0.001), a negative correlation between lactate and p-tau (r=0.399; p<0.005), and a positive correlation between aspartate aminotransferase and p-tau (r=0.489; p<0.001) were found. Discussion: The positive correlation between LDH and tau protein points to a role for oxidative stress in AD. The negative correlation between lactate and p-tau suggests a detrimental effect of tau protein on cell metabolism. Conclusions: Inflammatory biomarkers might aid in AD workup. Technical simplicity and their potential association with tau protein warrant further research into LDH and lactate in AD.

Published: April 2024

The present work aims to present evidence of the classical approach to administration, discovered in the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), seeking to identify some of its implications for Brazilian education. To achieve this, this qualitative research makes use of the BNCC itself, specifically its introductory part and its pedagogical foundations. The BNCC is a document that specifies the skills, abilities and knowledge that every Brazilian student must acquire throughout their basic education. Analysis of the document demonstrates that the BNCC incorporates some of the principles found in the classical management approach, including the focus on worker efficiency and work standardization. Some objections to the document focus on the excessive standardization of teaching, which restricts teachers' autonomy and limits the diversity of pedagogical approaches. Furthermore, the emphasis on efficiency and measurable results can lead to a reductionist and utilitarian view of education, disregarding subjective aspects and the integral development of students.

A pandemia da Covid-19 trouxe muitos desafios e impactos significativos em todos os aspectos da nossa vida, incluindo a saúde mental. As restrições impostas para prevenir a disseminação do vírus, o isolamento social, o medo constante da infecção, a perda de entes queridos, o desemprego e a ansiedade em relação ao futuro afetaram a saúde mental de muitas pessoas. Algumas das condições de sofrimento psíquico que surgiram após a Covid-19 incluem quadros de: ansiedade, depressão, transtorno de estresse pós-traumático e abuso de substâncias. É importante lembrar que é normal sentir-se estressado, ansioso ou triste diante de uma situação tão difícil como a pandemia, sendo importante fortalecer a busca por ajuda profissional se esses sentimentos começarem a interferir nas atividades diárias ou se tornarem persistentes. Os estudantes universitários foram impactados de diversas maneiras pela pandemia da Covid-19. Com as instituições de ensino adotando medidas de distanciamento social para conter a proliferação do vírus, muitos estudantes tiveram que se adaptar a novas formas de ensino e de aprendizagem, como aulas remotas, o que trouxe desafios para sua vida acadêmica e também pessoal. Trata-se, este trabalho, de uma revisão de literatura realizada por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica. Algumas das questões enfrentadas pelos universitários após a Covid-19 incluem: ajuste ao ensino remoto, preocupações financeiras, autocobrança, desemprego e o desenvolvimento de problemas psicossociais que foram desenvolvidos durante a pandemia. Neste sentido, o objetivo desta pesquisa é conhecer os aspectos psíquicos que levam ao aumento do transtorno de ansiedade durante a pandemia em amostras brasileiras e estrangeiras. Para tanto, identifica-se o aumento do transtorno de ansiedade e apresentam-se mais informações sobre suas formas de prevenção.

A aplicação dos fitossanitários é realizada por pulverizadores, que podem ser do tipo costal. Normalmente, a cultura do quiabeiro é instalada em menor área por agricultores familiares e a utilização desse equipamento de aplicação traz resultados positivos para o agricultor no campo. Os pulverizadores costais podem possuir acionamento manual, motorizado ou elétrico. O quiabeiro (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) é uma hortaliça de grande valor nutricional e bem aceita no mercado brasileiro. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar a qualidade de aplicação na cultura do quiabeiro, analisando as pressões e pontas na aplicação com pulverizadores do tipo costal. O presente estudo foi conduzido no Instituto Federal Goiano – Campus Morrinhos. Para a realização da pulverização foram utilizados: um pulverizador costal manual da marca Worker com capacidade 20 litros e um pulverizador costal motorizado da marca Tenka com capacidade de 20 litros.  O estudo foi conduzido para avaliar o espectro de gotas em caldas de pulverização em um Delineamento em Blocos ao Acaso (DBC) com esquema fatorial 2x4, constituído de duas pressões de pulverização e quatro pontas de pulverização com cinco repetições para cada tratamento. Foram utilizadas pontas do tipo leque simples, sendo que, para o equipamento motorizado, foi utilizada a ponta de metal padrão do equipamento motorizado e no equipamento manual, pontas da marca MagnoJet e modelos Magno AD 11002, Magno AD 11004 e Magno AD 11005, sendo todas sem indução de ar. Para as pressões, as válvulas utilizadas no pulverizador costal manual foram da marca jacto, modelo Ecovalve, com 30 psi e 45 psi. Para a aplicação com o pulverizador costal motorizado, as pressões foram aferidas com a utilização de um manômetro na lança de aplicação. Para realização da coleta dos valores do espectro de gotas foram instalados papéis hidrossensíveis da marca SpinJet (2,5 cm x 7 cm) distribuídos a 0,6 m no interior e na altura do terço médio da planta. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste “F” a 5% de significância. Foi avaliado, para cada fator, separadamente, os coeficientes de variação. Dentre os equipamentos avaliados, o que obteve menor alteração das variáveis apresentadas foi o equipamento costal manual.
Management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in the Asia-Pacific region and Russia: Recommendations from an expert working group
Authors: Karpischenko Sergey , Jung Yong Gi , Kim Dae-Woo , Spriggs Kymble , Tsang Raymond King-Yin , Yeh Te-Huei
Published: April 2024

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the nasal and paranasal tissues, characterized by the presence of bilateral nasal polyps. An expert panel of specialists from the Asian-Pacific region and Russia was convened to develop regional guidance on the management of CRSwNP through a consensus approach. The present article presents the chief observations and recommendations from this panel to provide guidance for clinicians in these areas. Etiology and pathogenetic mechanisms in CRSwNP are heterogeneous and complex. In many patients, CRSwNP is primarily driven by type 2 inflammation, although this may be less important in Asian populations. Frequent comorbidities include asthma and other inflammatory diseases such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)/aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease or atopic dermatitis. Clinical management of CRSwNP is challenging, and a multidisciplinary approach to evaluation and treatment is recommended. While many patients respond to medical treatment (topical irrigation and intranasal corticosteroids, and adjunctive short-term use of systemic corticosteroids), those with more severe/uncontrolled disease usually require endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), although outcomes can be unsatisfactory, requiring revision surgery. Biological therapies targeting underlying type 2 inflammation offer additional, effective treatment options in uncontrolled disease, either as an alternative to ESS or for those patients with persistent symptoms despite ESS.
Trends of aeroallergen sensitization among children with respiratory allergy in Southern Thailand
Authors: Sangchan Taksaporn , Koosakulchai Vanlaya , Sangsupawanich Pasuree , Srisuk Bunrat , Yuenyongviwat Araya
Published: April 2024

Background:

Respiratory allergy significantly impacts children’s health and quality of life, with inhaled allergens serving as prevalent triggers for respiratory symptoms. Aeroallergen sensitization, confirmed through the skin prick test (SPT), naturally evolves over time and is influenced by environmental factors specific to each region.

Objective:

This study aimed to review the updated 6-year trend of aeroallergen sensitization among children with asthma and allergic rhinitis in Southern Thailand.

Methods:

This retrospective study involved a review of patients aged ≤15 years diagnosed with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis, who underwent the SPT using 12 standardized aeroallergens.

Results:

The medical records of 1,393 children were reviewed, with 63% being male, and the mean age was 7.4 ± 3.3 years. Among them, 55.5% presented with allergic rhinitis alone, followed by 31.6% with asthma and allergic rhinitis, and 12.9% with asthma alone. Over the 6-year period, house dust mites emerged as the most common sensitized allergen, followed closely by cockroaches, maintaining a consistent trend of sensitization. Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus ranked as the predominant sensitized allergen across all diagnoses (63% in asthma with allergic rhinitis, 52.7% in allergic rhinitis, and 43.5% in asthma). Children diagnosed with both asthma and allergic rhinitis exhibited a higher prevalence of sensitization to house dust mites, cockroaches, Johnson grass, acacia, Candida albicans, and cat pelts compared with those with asthma or allergic rhinitis alone. Additionally, the prevalence of house dust mite and cockroach sensitization was notably higher in older children (≥5 years old) with respiratory allergies.

Conclusion:

House dust mites and cockroaches emerge as the 2 most prevalent sensitized aeroallergens among children diagnosed with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis, exhibiting consistent trends of sensitization over the past 6 years. The persistence of these causative allergens underscores the importance of meticulous environmental control measures for children affected by respiratory allergies.
Research on the Teachers' Dilemma in Inclusive Education under the Background of Learning in Regular Classrooms
Authors: Lam Yat Nga
Published: April 2024

Inclusive education has been a crucial education revolution since 1994 the Salamanca Statement, proclaiming that children with diversified abilities should have access to regular schools with appropriate scaffolds and support. Chinese inclusive education is presented as Learning in Regular Classrooms where children with special needs are placed in a regular classroom of a regular school. This article explored and identified challenges LRC faces through teachers roles, standards, and relationships with the childrens families that lead to unsuccessful LRC. The lack of special education knowledge in teachers, mono-teaching-evaluation standards on academics, and disagreements between teachers and families on support for children are some causes of unsuccessful LRC. This article proposed multiple solutions according to the challenges which include cooperating with special education schools to provide systemized special education training and support for teachers, schools providing clear, written, and diversified teaching standards, increase in communication between teachers and childrens families, and schools providing extra support for children.

Authors: Yuan Mengning
Published: April 2024

Zhang Ailing is a famous modern Chinese female writer. Due to the influence of her family atmosphere and her own educational experience, she has a high level of expertise in both traditional Chinese studies and English. Her profound literary background in both English and Chinese has enabled her to create many excellent literary works and literary translations. Her articles published in the English monthly magazine of the 20th Century have made her stand out in the literary world, Therefore, Chinese Life and Fashions, as their first English prose published in this journal, has great research value. This article is based on Eugene Nida's principle of functional equivalence, the differences between Chinese and English languages, and some translation strategies to compare and analyze the two texts. These translation strategies include addition, deletion, domestication, etc. The employment of various translation procedures is based on the target language readers' diverse cultural backgrounds, as well as the target language readers chosen by Zhang Ailing. And the use of these strategies also reflects Eugene. Nida's theory of functional equivalence.
The Role of Religion in the International Clash of Civilisations: Beliefs and Frictions
Authors: Cheng Mingyang
Published: April 2024

This paper is based on Samuel Huntington's theory of the "clash of civilisations" and explores the complex role of religion in the international clash of civilisations. He argues that the post-Cold War global conflict will no longer be a confrontation based on ideology or national interests, but rather a friction between civilisations, particularly over differences in religious beliefs. The role of religion in shaping international relations and inspiring conflict is revealed by analysing a number of key international events and trends, such as religious conflicts in the Middle East, tensions between the West and the Islamic world, and cross-civilizational interactions in the context of globalisation.Firstly, the article explores how religious identity has become an important criterion for distinguishing the self from the other in international relations, especially in the context of the confrontation between Islam and the Western world. Next, the article analyses how religious extremism affects international politics, particularly its role in international terrorism. In addition, it examines how globalisation has exacerbated the friction between religions and civilisations, while at the same time opening up new opportunities for dialogue and understanding between civilisations. Through these case studies, the aim is to shed light on the dual role of religiosity in the international political arena: on the one hand, as a catalyst for divergence and conflict among civilisations, and on the other hand, as a potential conduit for cross-cultural understanding and peaceful dialogue. The article concludes with a discussion of how religion-induced clashes of civilisations can be mitigated through cross-cultural dialogue and cooperation in a multicultural and religiously diverse contemporary international society, contributing to international peace and stability. The study not only provides new ideas and perspectives for understanding major issues in current international politics, but also offers profound insights into dealing with differences and conflicts among civilisations.

A whole summary of the two works will not be presented in this paper; instead, essential concepts and ideas from the same two topics Wittgensteins view on language and reality and Wittgensteins view on logic will be summarized from the two works independently. After the summary, a discussion of Wittgensteins thought evolvements on the same topic will be delivered. The paper examines the essay with a critical analysis of the two contrary perspectives through links to historical background and an evaluation of the ideas. Even though Wittgensteins works have been extensively studied, this presentation will demonstrate them from a broader perspective. This essay aims to provide an in-depth review of Wittgensteins philosophical movements of thought in areas including meaning, logic, and the philosophy of language.
A Review on Biological Mechanisms of Negative Symptoms in Chronic Schizophrenia
Authors: Dai Jiayin
Published: April 2024

Research about the negative symptoms of chronic schizophrenia (SZ) is still lagging behind, in order to more comprehensively and systematically understand the biological and molecular mechanisms behind them, as well as to explore more valuable research directions and treatment options. By summarizing the results of previous studies and exploring them at the levels of neurobiology, genetics, molecular biology and microbiology, the authors provide a preliminary review of the new research progress in recent years. The authors hypothesize neurodevelopmental disorders by thoroughly investigating the anatomical features of various brain regions and the corresponding abnormalities in neurotransmitters. This paper then provides a relatively fresh perspective by summarizing the potential pathogenic mechanisms in terms of the brain-gut axis and metabolic syndrome. Ultimately, it is determined that the pathophysiology of chronic schizophrenia is associated with multiple biological mechanisms within the body, primarily arising from neurological abnormalities within the brain. On the basis of this, the author provides a conceptualization of the pathophysiology and a potential course of treatment.

Deconstructing Stereotypes in the Liminal Phases: A Postcolonial Feminist Analysis of An Educated Woman in Prostitution
Authors: J Caro Velma , Alan G
Published: April 2024

Postcolonial Indians’ psyche has been colonised by the long effects of colonial and patriarchal stereotypes. Stereotypes work as a master’s tool in hindering the freedom of postcolonial Indian women. Due to the impact of this two-fold domination (colonial and patriarchal stereotypes) in the lives of postcolonial Indian women, they are forced to endure their sufferings and are oppressed to remain passive. Postcolonial feminism theory uncovers the unknown struggles endured by various voiceless categories and unrecognised social divisions of third world women. The memoir, An Educated Woman in Prostitution, was chosen for the study as it documents the traumatic life transition of a young girl choosing sex work as her identity in the Indian context. The effects of socio-political principles and dogmatic patriarchal stereotypes constructed around sex workers are transparently discussed in the text. The article employs Arnold van Gennep’s anthropological concepts, the three phases of liminality (preliminal, liminal and postliminal) from The Rites of Passage, to closely observe the life transitions and decisions made by the protagonist. The study utilises these phases of liminality to trace the survival strategies employed by the protagonist and other female characters in dismantling stereotypes and gaining freedom of choice. Conclusively, the study employs a qualitative analysis of Manada Devi’s memoir, drawing upon the theoretical exploration of liminal phases and stereotypes from a postcolonial feminist standpoint. The study identifies the transitional phase during which the protagonist breaks stereotypes and reintegrates into society with a new identity.
The Linguistic Analysis of Indictments in English Through Speech Acts and Evaluation Frameworks
Authors: Toan Ly Ngoc
Published: April 2024

This study aims to analyze the linguistic features of indictments in English using speech act theory and appraisal frameworks. The theoretical background draws on Searle's (1969) taxonomy of speech acts and Martin and White's (2005) appraisal model for analyzing interpersonal meaning. The methodology employs qualitative textual analysis to code speech acts and appraisal resources in a dataset of 10 English indictments sourced from legal databases. Preliminary findings identified assertive speech acts describing alleged facts, directive acts asserting charges, and expressive and declarative acts conveying the prosecutor's stance. The analysis also revealed linguistic strategies for construing attitude and graduating intensity. Key results demonstrate how prosecutors rhetorically utilize speech acts and evaluation to formally assert charges, commit to proving accusations, and align readers against defendants. This research enriches our understanding of indictments from applied linguistic and discourse analytic perspectives. It provides practitioners with insights into crafting more deliberate indictments through language choices. Further research can expand the framework cross-culturally and to other legal genres.
