Published: December 2024

This research aims to analyze the effect of debt value on negative equity at PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. Hypothesis testing is carried out using the t statistical test. The sampling technique used is nonprobability sampling with data taken from the second quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2023, when negative equity occurs. The results of the analysis show that the value of debt has a negative effect on negative equity. The new finding in this research is that companies took 25 months to gradually recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. A high debt value causes negative equity, the company obtains more capital from debt because business activity is low. It would be better for companies to increase business activities by increasing flight schedules for profitable routes.
Response of Tilapia Guineensis and Clibanarius Africanus to Acute Toxicity of Two Oil Spill Dispersants
Authors: E. Uffort, , L. Odukuma,
Published: December 2024

Activities associated with crude oil, natural gas or condensate fields could result in several accidents that can lead to massive oil spills. To curb the deleterious effect of the hydrocarbon contents of the crude oil, the chemical clean-up method can be utilized in far and deep offshore environments in Nigeria. Using the dispersants weakens the interfacial tension between oil and water and in the process, bitty droplets of the oil are hatched and entrained within the water column. Acute toxicity testing becomes vital as the dispersants have the potential of causing deleterious effects on resident organisms within the recipient environment. This study aimed to determine the acute toxicity of two oil spill dispersants and the response of the euryhaline-Tilapia guineensis (fish) and benthic-Clibanarius africanus (hermit crab) when exposed to the dispersants. The fish and hermit crab which are standard test organisms for acute toxicity testing in Nigeria as specified by Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) were sourced from Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research (NIOMR) at Buguma, Rivers State while the dispersants - Corexit 9527 and Finasol OSR were obtained from different licensed oil field chemical stores in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. For the test organisms to adjust to a new environment, they were first acclimatized before conducting the range finding test. Based on the results obtained from the range finding test, the definitive test concentration was established at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0ppt and 2, 4, 6, 8,10 ppt for Tilapia guineensis and Clibanarius africanus respectively. Reference experimental group was also instituted using Potassium Chloride at concentrations of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 ppt. The median lethal concentration (LC50) was calculated from the mortality value using Probit software. Mortality rates increased with increase in concentration of the toxicants and exposure time. The 96 hour-LC50 values for Corexit 9527 were 4669mg/l and 181 mg/l for Clibanarius africanus and Tilapia guineensis respectively while that of Finasol OSR were 4268 mg/l and 188 mg/l for Clibanarius africanus and Tilapia guineensis respectively. The study revealed that Tilapia guineensis was more sensitive as the two dispersants were less toxic to hermit crab and more toxic to the fish. Hence, adequate enforcement of regulations on the use of these chemicals should be adhered to in the water column of marine environments and more attention be inclined to biologically derived chemicals (biosurfactants).

Authors: Soares Thiago Barbosa
Published: December 2024

A obra ora resenhada atravessa quatro searas relativamente distintas com o objetivo de compreender os sentidos que pesam sobre a voz e quais unidades de discurso são empregadas para significar-lhe no interior das formações discursivas presentes nesses campos. A trajetória desse percurso levou em consideração, entre outras coisas, o fato de que a voz sempre circulou na Oratória, na Filosofia, na Psicanálise e na mídia, de uma maneira geral, porém a ela praticamente nunca fora dado um lugar a partir do qual fosse possível compreender seus usos, tampouco seus apagamentos e, consequentemente, sua densidade tanto semântica quanto representacional. Desse modo, e com esse objetivo, Sentidos da voz: usos na oratória, na filosofia, na psicanálise e na mídia responde a uma necessidade de entendimento vigente no âmbito investigativo dessas áreas responsáveis por produção e disseminação de saber.

Authors: Vasconcelos Heber Macel Tenório
Published: December 2024

Este artigo filia-se às pesquisas que contribuem com a qualificação profissional e atuação docente, com especial interesse pelas dimensões didáticas do ensino de Arquitetura. Trata de uma pesquisa cujo objetivo foi compreender a percepção de discentes sobre a atuação didática de um professor iniciante na disciplina de Desenho. Para tanto, metodologicamente, foi desenvolvido, aplicado e analisado um questionário que buscou contemplar a compreensão das habilidades de ensino consideradas fundamentais para a organização do processo de ensino-aprendizagem: habilidade de introdução, habilidade de ilustrar com exemplos, habilidade de questionamento, habilidade de olhar para a turma de discentes, habilidade de reforço, habilidade de variação. A partir da análise das respostas dos questionários, foi possível ter noção do quanto uma docência voltada exclusivamente à aplicação de tarefas, discutida e concretizada com foco somente na eficiência da instrução está fadada ao fracasso. Além disso, que a recusa por tal tipo de docência é importante para que a presente discussão sobre habilidades de ensino não seja lida como um elogio reducionista diante de tudo aquilo que é possível fazer como docente e em favor da docência.

Authors: Belay Daniel Gashaneh , Norman Richard , Dunne Jennifer , Alemu Melaku Birhanu , Haile Tsegaye Gebremedhin , Tessema Gizachew A
Published: December 2024

Background

The reasons why women seek assistance from non-healthcare providers during childbirth, despite having received antenatal care (ANC), remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the determinants and geographic variations of non-healthcare provider-assisted childbirth among women who received antenatal care (ANC) in Ethiopia.

Methods

We included 2,918 women who attended at least one ANC visit as reported in the 2019 Ethiopian Mini Demographic and Health Survey. Multilevel binary logistic regression and geographic analysis were used to identify the determinants of non-healthcare providers’ assisted childbirth.

Results

One in three (33%) (95% confidence interval (CI): 31, 35) women who had at least one ANC visit were assisted by non-healthcare providers during childbirth. The odds of non-healthcare provider assisted childbirth were greater among women who had only one ANC visit (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=5.2; 95% CI; 3.19, 8.63) or received poor quality ANC visits (AOR=1.74; 95% CI; 1.38, 2.20) or women who resided in pastoral communities (AOR=3.38; 95% CI; 1.05, 11.32) or rural areas (AOR=2.93; 95% CI; 1.44, 5.93). Lower odds of non-healthcare providers’ childbirth were experienced among women with secondary or above education (AOR=0.44; 95% CI; 0.29, 0.68), and from wealthier households (AOR=0.41; 95% CI; 0.30, 0.45). There was a nonrandom spatial distribution of non-healthcare providers-assisted childbirth after having ANC visit in Ethiopia.

Conclusions

This study highlighted substantially higher non-healthcare provider assistants in childbirth in Somali, Afar, and the southwest part of Amhara regions. Interventions are needed to provide comprehensive ANC services and empower women through education and financial support to increase healthcare provider-assisted childbirth.
Diversifying Investments in Gulf Countries to Mitigate Financial Risks from Oil Price Volatility: A Case of Kuwait
Authors: Noora F. Alibrahim
Published: December 2024

The Kuwait and other countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have traditionally based their economic model on the receipts from the sales of oil. Fluctuations in the price of oil in the global markets has since rendered these economies more vulnerable to such financial risks and through policymaking, the economies have started to look for ways of diversifying on the risks. While the world today is working towards a new energy mix, those changes toward renewables and sustainability have led the reliance on oil towards economic, strategic and developmental issues. For Kuwait, a country that depends on oil as its major source of export, the issue of diversifying the country’s investment portfolio is even more important. It is stated that Kuwait needs to diversify investments to minimise the risk linked with fluctuating oil prices. With regards to this study, the analyses of the current state of economy of Kuwait, the impacts of instability of oil prices and the possible opportunities for diversification of investments will help in a more informed understanding of how Kuwait can better ensure a sustainable economy.

Published: December 2024

Adorno ve Horkheimer tarafından ortaya atılan kültür endüstrisi kavramı, kitle iletişim araçlarının toplumsal yaşam üzerindeki etkilerine odaklanır. Bu kavram aracılığıyla düşünürler, hakikatin erozyona uğramasını merkeze alır ve toplumsal yaşamın bu endüstrilerle nasıl dönüştüğünü gözler önüne serer. Günümüzde ise hakikatlerin yerini alternatif hakikatlerin aldığı, dijitalleşmenin hakikat algısını dönüştürdüğü bir toplumsal düzen söz konusudur. Bu alternatif hakikatler arasında “yalan haberler”, “komplo teorileri” ve “alternatif gerçekler” yer alır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma, Adorno ve Horkheimer’ın aydınlanmış aklı tehdit ettiğini öne sürdükleri ve hakiki ile hakiki olmayan arasındaki sınırları bulanıklaştırdığı 'kültür endüstrisi' kavramını, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’nün vurguladığı “infodemi” kavramı ve hakikat-sonrası tartışmalar bağlamında ele alacaktır. Çalışma, hakikate dair ilk tartışmaların görüldüğü “kültür endüstrisi” kavramını infodemi ve hakikat-sonrası tartışmalar çerçevesinde birlikte düşünmeyi önermektedir. Bu bağlamda, öncelikle kültür endüstrisi kavramının hakikat ve infodemi ile ilişkisi incelenecek; ardından kültür endüstrisine yönelik eleştiriler ile hakikat-sonrası çalışmalarda konu edinilen yeni medyanın rolü tartışılacaktır.

Background: The built world has changed a lot because of how quickly cities are growing. These changes have a direct effect on people's health and quality of life. Cities are great for culture and economic growth, but bad infrastructure can make health problems worse, pollute the air, and make it harder to get to resources that people need. A well-planned urban infrastructure is important for making places that are healthy, safe, and fair for everyone. Aim: This paper will look at how health-centered design can change cities into places that improve people's physical, mental, and social health and how urban infrastructure affects quality of life. Methods: A thorough review of urban health studies, an analysis of quality-of-life measures, and case studies of successful urban design solutions in global cities were all used. To look into the role of infrastructure in promoting health fairness, both quantitative and qualitative studies were used. Results: The main results show that fair housing, well-connected transportation systems, and easy access to green areas all make a big difference in improving public health. On the other hand, pollution and urban sprawl are highly linked to health problems.
The Role of Embodied Cognition in Understanding Mindfulness in Third-Wave Cognitive Behavioural Therapies
Authors: Tempone-Wiltshire Julien , Dowie Tra-ill
Published: December 2024

Due to a lack of engagement with the embodied dimensions of mindfulness, third-wave CBT has misleadingly construed mindfulness interventions as cognitive restructuring and behavioural modification agents. When the relationship between the mind and body is understood according to the
model of embodied cognition, however, mindfulness’s process of change can be better articulated. We propose a novel understanding of the ‘decentring’ skills fostered through mindfulness via non-conceptual attention to the processes underlying cognition. Mindfulness, understood
as a skilful mode of embodied social cognition, cultivates operative intentionality whereby attention to the lived body, and one’s internal representations, allows one to intervene in the complex feedback structure of the mind???body system, influencing cycles of organismic self-regulation.
Mindfulness-based exposure therapies, on this model, are understood not cognitively or behaviourally, but through insights generated via the practitioner’s orientation towards internal representations, and how these habituated patterns of representation generate transformations in their
exteroceptive, pre-reflective enactment of both self and world perception.

El presente estudio aborda la restauración ecológica y resiliencia de bosques de Pinus oocarpa afectados por plagas, se realizó un levantamiento de información en tres sitios, utilizando diferentes técnicas de análisis, incluido el programa R, para realizar evaluaciones exhaustivas de diversidad alfa y beta, empleando análisis estadísticos, índices de Margalef, Shannon-Wiener, Simpson, Jaccard y Sorensen, para evaluar la diversidad de especies. Se implementó un diseño de muestreo sistemático de 64 parcelas, identificadas como NA (No afectadas por la plaga) y SA (Afectadas por la plaga). Registrando 387 especies de flora, siendo más comunes: Pinus oocarpa, Lepidaploa canescens, Mimosa albida, Calea ternifolia, Andropogon bicornis, y las familias con mayor diversidad de especies son la Poaceae, Asteraceae y Fabaceae. Se observó diferencia significativa en la cantidad de especies y familias entre los sitios perturbados (SA) y no perturbados (NA), mostrando una reducción notable en el número de individuos, el sitio (SA) con 96 especies y 30 familias, en comparación con (NA) que presenta 158 especies en 43 familias. La diversidad alfa reveló que los sitios (NA), albergaban comunidades más diversas en comparación sitios (SA). La diversidad beta indicó una similitud moderada entre los sitios, sugiriendo que la perturbación afectó la diversidad florística, con la reducción de especies y familias exclusivas de los sitios (NA).
Los ladrones vestidos de mujer de Juan José de Soiza Reilly: crónica periodística y positivismo en los primeros años del siglo XX
Authors: Oliveto Mariano J.
Published: December 2024

En la Argentina de las primeras décadas del siglo XX, el positivismo que regía la ciencia y determinadas zonas de la literatura y el periodismo interpretó la delincuencia y la homosexualidad como consecuencias del desorden o desequilibro en la salud del cuerpo social. Esta corriente filosófica estableció una correspondencia entre delito, enfermedad e inmoralidad en tanto infracciones al código de las leyes jurídicas y sexuales. Nos proponemos pensar el positivismo como forma representacional y como dispositivo de control y patologización de la alteridad genérico-sexual. Para ello, nos ocuparemos de analizar los modos en que el saber positivista interviene en la formalización de algunos textos del periodista y escritor Juan José de Soiza Reilly (1879-1959) quien, en su profusa obra, se interesó, siguiendo este paradigma del saber científico, por el mundo del delito y las disidencias sexuales. Abordaremos de manera específica uno de sus artículos, publicado el 7 de junio de 1912, en el sexto número de la revista Fray Mocho, titulado “Ladrones vestidos de mujer”. Nos interesa particularmente este texto porque allí Soiza Reilly transforma al formato de crónica periodística el “caso médico” y el “caso criminal”, géneros discursivos muy en boga en el Buenos Aires de las primeras décadas del siglo XX.
Evolving Urban Landscape: Colonial Influences and Selective Modernity in Sam Phraeng Shophouses and Aristocratic Palaces During King Rama V's Reign
Authors: Chitsopa Chutarat
Published: December 2024

This study examines the architectural and urban transformation of Sam Phraeng, a historic Bangkok precinct, during King Rama V's reign (1868-1910). Employing Maurizio Peleggi's concept of 'Selective Modernity' and Iderlina B. Mateo-Babiano's work on urban space transformation, the research investigates modernity in an area near the Grand Palace considering historical restrictions on foreign residences.
The study notes that Western-style architecture near the Grand Palace was primarily limited to government offices, contrasting with areas like Northern Charoen Krung Road, which was developed as a foreign residential and commercial district since the late King Rama IV's reign. Against this backdrop, it explores Sam Phraeng’s unique development through historical document analysis, architectural typology, comparative analysis, and socio-economic context examination.
The research reveals Sam Phraeng’s evolution from a royal enclave to a vibrant commercial and cultural hub, reflecting broader societal changes while maintaining proximity to traditional power centers. The architectural landscape, particularly shophouses in Phraeng Nara and Phraeng Phuthon, showcases a blend of colonial design elements with local techniques and aesthetics.
This study contributes to understanding how non-colonized nations like Siam navigated the pressures of modernity, selectively adopting foreign elements while preserving cultural identity. Sam Phraeng’s architectural and urban evolution offers insights into the complex processes of engagement with modernity, urbanization, and cultural adaptation in late 19th-century Siam, highlighting nuanced development approaches near traditional power seats.

Introduction: Oral health is an essential indicator of general well-being and plays a fundamental role in the physical, social, and psychological development of children and adolescents. In socioeconomically vulnerable populations, the challenges of maintaining oral health can be even more significant due to barriers to access and specific risk factors. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the oral health profile in a sample of vulnerable children and adolescents in the Federal District. Methodology: The study was based on a cross-sectional observational survey, with clinical data collection. Clinical examinations were carried out to assess oral mucosa lesions, dental caries in primary and permanent teeth, and fluorosis. Additionally, questionnaires were administered to obtain demographic and behavioral data. Results: Data from 267 children (mean age: 6.7 years) were analyzed, with 40.4% identified as male and 59.6% as female. In terms of ethnicity, 52.4% identified themselves as brown, 39.7% as white, 7.5% as black, and 0.4% as indigenous. The initial analysis revealed that 18.7% of the children had caries experience in their deciduous teeth and 18% in their permanent teeth, while untreated caries lesions were present in 15.7% of deciduous teeth and 16.9% of permanent teeth. Regression analysis indicated that age was a predictor of caries in permanent teeth (R²: 16.22%, p<0.001) but not in deciduous teeth (R²: 1.67%, p=0.083). Differences by ethnicity were also observed. Conclusion: These findings highlight the prevalence of oral health issues in the studied population and underscore the need for targeted and continuous interventions.
Evolution of the International Monetary System and the Internationalization of RMB: A Theoretical Analysis
Authors: Yuk Sze Ming
Published: December 2024

The foundation of the global economy lies in the international monetary system, influencing worldwide trade, investment, monetary strategies, and financial steadiness. This system has experienced numerous significant transformations, such as the 1971 separation of the dollar from gold, the emergence and growth of the euro, and the slow globalization of currencies in developing markets. Presently, the international monetary system is predominantly dollar-focused and multilateral, grappling with issues like fluctuations in exchange rates and conflicts in monetary policy, resulting in worldwide economic disparities. Post the 2008 global financial crisis, the issues with the international monetary system have gained prominence, prompting a growing global demand for reforms in the existing currency system. The Renminbi's (RMB’s) internationalization stands out as a pivotal event, offering fresh research viewpoints and actionable instances for the development of the international monetary system. This study delves into the development of international currencies and the global spread of RMB.
Impact of Geopolitical and Bilateral Trade Frictions on Global Supply Chain Resilience: Strategies for Multinational Corporations
Authors: Xie Ruijie
Published: December 2024

In the context of the growing interconnectivity of the global economy, the resilience of global supply chains (GSCs) is increasingly contingent upon a range of external factors, including geopolitical developments and the implementation of bilateral trade policies. This study examines the vulnerabilities faced by GSCs in recent years, particularly the challenges they have shown in responding to geopolitical events and bilateral trade frictions. Taking the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union and the trade war between the United States and China as examples, this study analyzes the significant impacts of these events on GSCs, including issues such as increased operating costs and structural reorganization. This study also proposes strategies for multinational corporations to cope with the complex international environment, such as supply chain diversification and localization of production. It is found that enhancing supply chain resilience is crucial to cope with geopolitical risks and safeguard business continuity, which helps to improve their market competitiveness and ability to cope with unexpected events.
