Does Value Congruence Mediate the Relationship between Service Trust and Use of Fintech?
Authors: Effendi Laij Victor , Radianto Wirawan Endro Dwi
Published: January 2023

This study aims to investigate the effect of service trust on fintech use through value congruence as a mediating variable. Writers use women as a sample because women make more purchasing decisions than men. The research method used is the survey method by sending questionnaires to respondents. This study found that women with high service trust will be more encouraged to use fintech. Quality, effective, and efficient fintech will mediate the effect of service trust on fintech use. Writers also found that women who already believe in fintech will immediately be able to increase the use of fintech without mediating value congruence. However, to increase the use of fintech, this study found that it could be done through value congruence. Thus, value congruence has an essential role in increas- ing the use of fintech.

Komik Sebagai Media Edukasi Social Anxiety Disorder
Authors: Christiani Ellen Angeline
Published: January 2023

Kesehatan mental atau kesehatan jiwa adalah salah satu aspek penting dalam kesehatan manusia secara menyeluruh, dan sama pentingnya dengan kesehatan fisik. Karena itulah, kita tidak dapat meremehkan gangguan mental yang terjadi dalam diri kita. Sayangnya, gangguan kesehatan mental seringkali dianggap tabu dan dianggap aib oleh banyak orang. Kecemasan adalah bagian penting dalam kehidupan manusia, yang merupakan naluri bertahan hidup yang diasah selama jutaan tahun evolusi. Akan tetapi, dikarenakan kurangnya kesadaran dan edukasi masyarakat akan gangguan kecemasan sosial ini, timbul banyak miskonsepsi dan stigma akan gangguan kecemasan sosial, seperti dianggap sebagai pribadi introvert, pemalu, sombong, hingga anti sosial. Berdasarkan dari permasalahan tersebut, dirancang sebuah proyek konten komik digital S.A.D.aily, yang mengangkat topik gangguan kecemasan sosial di kehidupan sehari-hari yang disampaikan melalui sudut pandang seorang remaja, serta memberikan informasi edukasional seputar gangguan kecemasan sosial. Perancangan konten komik online ini ditujukan kepada remaja dan dewasa muda usia 14-25 tahun, yang merupakan rentang usia yang rawan akan gangguan kecemasan sosial. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah isi konten sudah cukup efektif dalam memberikan informasi seputar gangguan kecemasan sosial beserta media promosinya lewat penokohan karakter Iris sebagai representasi untuk komik S.A.D.aily dengan harapan perancangan komik S.A.D.aily dapat membangunkan kesadaran kepada audiens akan gangguan kecemasan sosial sehingga dapat mengubah asumsi, persepsi, dan stigma buruk yang selalu melekat pada gangguan kesehatan mental ini.

Definition and Semantization as Linguistic and Education Terms
Authors: Е.В. Архипова,
Published: January 2023

В статье сопоставляются термины «толкование» и «семантизация» в научных трудах по лексикографии и по методике обучения русскому языку, а также рассматривается их функционирование в лингвистическом и педагогическом (образовательном) дискурсах и, прежде всего, в современных программах и учебниках по русскому языку и методике его преподавания. Актуальность исследования продиктована обнаруженным при анализе лингвистической и лингводидактической литературы рассогласованием в понимании терминов «толкование» и «семантизация» в словарях, с одной стороны, и различием в трактовке этих понятий в практике обучения русскому языку на разных уровнях образования — с другой, что обозначило проблему унификации терминологии в смежных науках — лингвистике и лингводидактике. Цель исследования — проанализировать функционирование терминов «толкование» и «семантизация» в лингвистическом и образовательном дискурсах, сделать вывод о целесообразности использования каждого в зависимости от коммуникативно-прагматических задач и, главным образом, о соответствии их задачам обучения русскому языку в современных образовательных реалиях. Термин «толкование» подразумевает под собой речевое действие, направленное на объяснение значения слова себе или кому-то, и потому логично и оправданно относится к образовательному дискурсу. Термин же «семантизация», имея массу трактовок, не обозначает при этом конкретный способ толкования значения слова. В учебном дискурсе он чаще всего предполагает важное метапредметное умение учащегося работать с текстом словарной статьи, извлекая из нее смысл незнакомого слова. Смешивать эти два понятия в образовательном дискурсе нецелесообразно.

The article compares the terms “definition” and “semantization” in scholarly research on lexicography and Russian teaching methodology. The article also focuses on the way these terms function in linguistic and pedagogical discourse, primarily in modern textbooks and manuals dedicated to the Russian language and language teaching methodology. The relevance of the study is accounted for by the discrepancy between the way the two terms are understood by researchers working in the sphere of linguistics and linguodidactics and the way teachers use the terms in Russian classrooms. The aim of the research is to analyze “definition” and “semantization” as linguistic and education terms, to find out whether it can be recommended to use different terms to deal with different communicative and pragmatic tasks, to find out whether the two terms can be effectively used in contemporary classrooms. Being a speech act aimed at explaining the meaning of a word to oneself or to others, definition is an education term. The polysemantic term semantization is usually used to describe students’ ability to work with dic-tionary entries in order to find out the meaning of an unknown word. For educational purposes, it is essential that these two concepts should not be misinterpreted and misused.

COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Šerić Maja , Vernuccio Maria
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore how tourism and hospitality firms managed marketing communications (marcom) since the COVID-19 outbreak and to propose a conceptual framework on marcom challenges that the pandemic crisis has brought to the industry. In-depth interviews were conducted with tourism and hospitality managers in Croatia, a destination that registered remarkable tourism results in 2021. The proposed conceptual framework reflects the adaptation process and major changes in B2B and B2C communication since the COVID-19 outbreak on one hand and resulting strategic opportunities for marcom managers on the other, discussed in terms of practical implications. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that presents an integrative overview of major challenges in marketing communications in tourism and hospitality since the COVID-19 outbreak by examining managers’ viewpoints through in-depth interviews. The study proposes a conceptual framework for understanding changes and opportunities that emerged in a situation of a systematic health emergency. It also provides meaningful guidelines and implications for the global tourism and hospitality industry, as managers from many countries have been facing similar difficulties and challenges during the pandemic.
Wildlife Tourism Experiences at the Maasai Mara, Kenya
Authors: Njeri Kaberere Irene , KC Birendra , Hoogendoorn Gijsbert
Published: January 2023

This study examines destination attributes through tourist reviews in the Maasai Mara ecosystem using the Kano model. Overall, positive reviews were dominant, and most tourists were satisfied with the Mara wildlife tourism experiences. However, some attributes led to dissatisfaction. The highest contribution to tourist satisfaction was due to excitement attributes such as witnessing the great migration of the wildebeest. Attributes such as safety and service-related aspects also negatively affected tourist satisfaction. The findings are useful in promoting sustainable wildlife tourism by government, private industry, and community-based tourism organizations.

Published: January 2023

The disparities, inequalities as well as the different trajectories of social and economic development that still characterize the regions of the EU today demonstrate the importance of a debate on the spatial dimension of European policies. This paper analyses the implications of strengthening the spatial dimension in the different EU programs, highlighting the importance of the concept of territorial cohesion and the role that a strategic sector such as tourism can play in implementing this concept. Therefore, the added value of tourism and the potential of territorial cohesion should play an important role in future European policies and funding.

ADVENTURE AS A CATALYST IN THE FABRICATION OF MIND IN MYSTERY AT MALABAR COTTAGE BY MANJIRI PRABHU
Authors: Nair Neha , S Premalatha
Published: January 2023

Adventure activities have been known to accelerate an array of positive outcomes. Adventure is prominently like a state of mind that initiates with the motility of skepticism regarding the upshot of a particular voyage, but termination happens with feelings of euphoria, gratification, and amusement. Getting invested in any kind of unconventional venture or expedition can cater to the unsatiating needs of growing children, as it is conducive in building resilience. This kind of exploration has provided deep insights in the arenas of personal empowerment, cognitive enhancements, skill learning and psychological healing.
This study aims to analyze how the experiences of adventurous activities like treasure hunt, finding secret tunnels and solving mysteries, play a compelling role in challenging the mind, therefore, affecting the cognitive abilities of children. The present study highlights how adventure cannot be perceived only as a physical element, it is rather immensely mental and psychological. Manjiri Prabhu illustrates the intrinsic desire of children to embark upon adventurous journeys, that climactically puts them in situations where they need to question their perceptions, examine their feelings and emotions, and teach them to embrace discomfort, eventually concocting their minds. The present paper provides a new vision of how a central characteristic of adventure in children’s literature, plays a cardinal role in contriving the minds of children.
IMPACT OF MINING ON TRIBAL LIVELIHOOD: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF KEONJHAR AND KALAHANDI DISTRICTS
Authors: Das Sudarsan , Pradhan Ramakrushna
Published: January 2023

Keonjhar and Kalahandi districts fall under the purview of the Fifth Schedule of the Indian Constitution which entitles ownership right to tribal over their natural resources. It also ensures tribal rights to maintain their unique culture and language. In the Keonjhar district, mining has been carried out with remarkable speed for the longest period of time. It has been contributing immensely to the state's mineral output. But the district remained one of the poorest regions in Odisha and has maximum people living under high BPL (below the poverty line). Still, there have been no successful antimining protests taking place here. On the other hand, the Kalahandi district witnessed an organised successful protest by the Kondh tribes in opposing the Vedanta plan of extracting minerals from Niyamagiri mountain. The comparison is an attempt to explore diverse linkages of the impact of mining on tribal livelihood.

In the tourism sector, creative and innovative technology affects how the welfare of the community and businesses increase significantly. The use of technology can create exposure to enhance, and gain the interest of many people to the tourism itself. Developing a website or mobile based application is a way to be creative and innovative about the solution to increase the number of tourist visits. In addition to reaching the expected number of tourist visits, the application needs to be both effective and efficient in obtaining the up-to-date information regarding the destination. In this study, the User Centered Design method is used to obtain descriptive information to be used as a User Interface and User Experience design guidelines, also the User Experience Questionnaire method to assess the evaluated User Interface and User Experience outputs. One descriptive questionnaire is used as the implementation of User Centered Design, and the two User Experience Questionnaires afterward are used to assess User Interface and User Experience. The second design is appointed to be the final design of User Interface and User Experience based on the end comparison result of User Experience Questionnaire. These design methods produce a more effective output because the process involves direct evaluation from users in order to fulfill the needs and demands more precisely without overdoing the process.
Can political economy be non-Marxist? Relevance of applied political economy
Authors: Sorokin A. V.
Published: January 2023

Initially political economy was non-Marxist but under the influence of ideology it has become Marxist; with rejection of official ideology of Marxism, it can and should again become non-Marxist. Marxism is an ideology/ policy that proclaims the inevitable death of capitalism and its replacement with socialism. Ideology forced political economy to abandon the subject —«the wealth of nations» (Smith) which was transformed into «social relations developing in the process of production, distribution, exchange and consumption of material goods, and economic laws governing their development in socio-economic formations historically replacing each other». Marxian economics was identified with the ideology of Marxism. The three constituent parts of Marxism have lost their relevance. The materialistic foundation of Marxism rested on three discoveries (the cell, energy conservation, and Darwinism). A new social organism was believed to have been born from a cell that existed in an old organism; the birth of a new one means the death of the old one. The history of all societies was represented by the history of the struggle between the exploiting and exploited classes, the result of which was a progressive change of formations. The discoveries of the XIX century were either refuted by modern natural science (cell theory), or significantly modernized (synthetic theory of evolution). The theory of class exploitation as a deduction from the product of labor was refuted by Marx. Rejection of Marxism does not mean rejection of the materialist understanding of history, but an understanding based on modern materialism. The subject of political economy in broad sense is various modes of life reproduction (analogue of a species) and their modification (population). The history of all previous societies was the history of struggle, not classes, but of modes of production of life. The subject of the non-Marxist political economy of capitalism is the relationship of the reproduction of the life of three large classes (capitalists, hired workers, landowners). The method is an analogue of the method for constructing genomes of biological species. Non-Marxist political economy and economics have a common subject and form two components of a new academic discipline «applied political economy», in which the descriptive method of economics is complemented by an explicative one.
Human being as an economic actor: the potential of a dialogue between behavioral economics and modern Marxist political economy
Authors: Buzgalin A. V. , Manakhova I. V. , Molchanov I. N. , Pavlov M. Yu. , Rassadina A. K.
Published: January 2023

The article provides a comparative analysis of human theory within the framework of behavioral economics and modern Marxist political economy. Based on the systematized main items of these theories, the paper concludes that with all the fundamental differences, these directions reflect in different forms the objective phenomena of modern economics which require significant correction in prior notions of «homo economicus”. From the very beginning Marxist political economy would give a more complex picture with the diversity of goals and motives of human activity and behavior in different socio-economic systems. In recent decades behavioural economics has also taken these changes into account. Such corrections include, firstly, the interdisciplinary character of the study of a Man as an economic actor (behavioral economics stresses the importance of a dialogue with psychology and biology, Marxist political economy with social philosophy and sociology). Secondly, it is necessary to account not only for the irrational component of human behavior but also for the rational behavior’s orientation not only on market goals and values. Thirdly, taking into account the aggravation of global problems, both directions emphasize the need to add goals and values related to the development of human qualities, to the previous goals of economic activity (profit growth, GDP). At the same time the concept of «inclusive capitalism» is proposed within the «main trend» and at least deep reforms with concern to modern Marxism. The authors draw a conclusion concerning the possibility of advancing the strategy of eco-socio-cultural-oriented development based on the dialogue of the above-mentioned areas.
Forecasting consumption using the consumer confidence index in Russia
Authors: Sugaipov D. R.
Published: January 2023

The paper considers short-term forecasting of household final consumption expenditures using the consumer confidence index in Russia. The article presents a comparative analysis of consumption forecasting approaches using a leading indicator in various countries. The author makes consumption nowcasts based on quarterly data for the period from 2000 to 2021. Unlike most studies based on seasonally adjusted time series, the current study uses seasonally differentiated time series. To determine the predictive power of the index, the author builds several models which include in turn the consumer confidence index, index lags, and consumption lags. The quality comparison of different specifications with the root mean squared forecast error demonstrates that the inclusion of the consumer confidence index in the model increases the accuracy of both out-of-sample and in-sample forecasts. The conducted statistical tests confirm that the inclusion of a leading indicator in the model improves the quality of forecasts.
Inﬂuence of social networks on the clothing companies’ stock prices
Authors: Galanova A. V. , Epifanova D. I.
Published: January 2023

Modern social networks are becoming a significant factor in stock market pricing because the information they generate expands the aggregate news background that determines stock prices according to currently prevailing efficient market theory. The news generated in the electronic media affect all the spheres forming supply and demand not only for manufactured goods but also through them for the prices of their manufacturers’ stocks. Normally, the relationship between the production of goods and the share price of its manufacturer is traced through economic indicators of profit, size of dividends, etc. Social information does not have a direct economic content. However, according to efficient market theory this kind of information should influence the share price. The article proves the influence of a trendsetter photo wearing certain brand clothes on the stock quotes of the company that owns this brand. The event analysis method reveals a short-term increase in company's share market price after the publication of a trend-setting blogger photos on Instagram, especially when it comes to a luxury brand. At the same time, the trend-setter profession and gender do not affect the abnormal rate of stock return resulted from the publication of his photograph. It proves a relative isolation of the “trend setter” itself in comparison with the personal characteristics of a blogger and turns this title into a specific independent factor in stock pricing.
Theoretical foundations for training public servants and managers: the role of Economics
Authors: Gorbacheva N. V. , Filatova N. G.
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the significance of contemporary economic science for training public servants for government bodies and managers for business. At present, prevailing theories are being revised, novel concepts and interpretations come into being, and governmental institutions undergo noticeable changes, trying to respond to emerging challenges, i.e. New Industrial Revolution, Energy Transition and Climate Change. With this purpose in mind, the authors offered three methodological approaches — metrics, political economy, narrative, all of which allow to study novel problems from different angles. The review of 1006 articles in 31 Russian economic journals for the period of 2010– 2021 upon three above-mentioned issues has shown, that, firstly, a greater part of publications refers to manufacturing development, secondly, metric (42%) and political economy (51%) approaches prevail in the research of all these issues. However, in the situation of uncertainty the prognostic value of economic modelling is decreasing, contradictions between political economy elaborations are growing up, and narrative approach is actually demanded for alternative interpretations of variable, frequently competitive, ideas and concepts concerning industrial transformation, energy transition and climate change. These three approaches correlate with the curricula of Russian and foreign universities in order to identify the promising fields to upgrade economic education of public servants in Russia. The authors conclude that there is a disparity between trends in economic research and modes in training public servants. Currently in higher education the teaching of economics rests on metric approach, but economic sciences also demand qualitative methods of research. Humanitarian dimension in economic education is indispensable since it helps to form abstract reasoning skills, important for the new generation of public servants capable of solving intricate and ambiguous problems.
Forecasting Russia’s GDP through the production method
Authors: Krupkina A. S. , Vinogradova O. S. , Orlova E. A. , Ershova E. N.
Published: January 2023

The paper analyses the variables covering real, financial and external sectors of the economy alongside various sectoral, price and survey indicators. We have obtained forecast values of gross value added by industry and an aggregated estimate of Russia’s productionbased GDP. Drawing on dynamic factor model (DFM) as the main approach, we obtained quarterly point forecasts for production-based Russian GDP and for individual sectors for 2011-21. The forecast accuracy is compared to Bayesian vector autoregression (BVAR),s imple benchmarks based on aggregated and disaggregated GDP modeling and consensus expert forecasts. The results of the study show that the dynamic factor model outperforms the benchmarks and, in some cases, also BVAR in forecast ability (measured on the basis of an out-of-sample forecast error). The superiority of the factor model can be traced back to its ability to capture sectoral information on the gross value added of individual industries. The covariance matrix analysis of sectoral forecast errors confirms that the factor model superiority is based on its ability to capture sectoral dynamics more accurately, especially during the periods of high volatility. The dynamic evaluation of point forecasts for 4 quarters ahead and comparison of modeling results with consensus forecasts of experts shows that forecasting based on the DFM model for production allows for more stable and consistent results.
UGC 4211: A Confirmed Dual Active Galactic Nucleus in the Local Universe at 230 pc Nuclear Separation

We present multiwavelength high-spatial resolution (∼0.″1, 70 pc) observations of UGC 4211 at z = 0.03474, a late-stage major galaxy merger at the closest nuclear separation yet found in near-IR imaging (0.″32, ∼230 pc projected separation). Using Hubble Space Telescope/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, Very Large Telescope/MUSE+AO, Keck/OSIRIS+AO spectroscopy, and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations, we show that the spatial distribution, optical and near-infrared emission lines, and millimeter continuum emission are all consistent with both nuclei being powered by accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Our data, combined with common black hole mass prescriptions, suggest that both SMBHs have similar masses,

∼ 8.3 (north), respectively. The projected separation of 230 pc (∼6× the black hole sphere of influence) represents the closest-separation dual active galactic nuclei (AGN) studied to date with multiwavelength resolved spectroscopy and shows the potential of nuclear (<50 pc) continuum observations with ALMA to discover hidden growing SMBH pairs. While the exact occurrence rate of close-separation dual AGN is not yet known, it may be surprisingly high, given that UGC 4211 was found within a small, volume-limited sample of nearby hard X-ray detected AGN. Observations of dual SMBH binaries in the subkiloparsec regime at the final stages of dynamical friction provide important constraints for future gravitational wave observatories.
Análise da produção acadêmica: desvelando o estereótipo da mulher “menos cientista”
Authors: Waner-Mariquito Renata , Sachs Juliane Priscila Diniz , Da Costa Christiane Luciana , Ekuni Roberta
Published: January 2023

Dados os avanços que as mulheres realizaram na Ciência e Tecnologia, é lamentável a sua sub-representatividade. Diversos estereótipos contribuem para as desigualdades de gênero e sub-representação feminina nesses campos. Um exemplo é a suposição que pesquisadoras produzem menos que pesquisadores. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar se a ideia de produção científica desigual entre os gêneros da Universidade Estadual do Norte do Paraná representa um estereótipo de gênero. Os resultados encontrados revelaram que não há diferença significativa entre a produção científica por sexo, embora ocorram diferenças de pontuação por área do conhecimento e diferença entre quantidade de representantes em algumas áreas. Esse estudo amplia o conjunto de evidências que demonstram estereótipo de gênero na Ciência.

Authors: Bonini Patricia , Custodio Carolina Fernandes , Da Silva Fernanda
Published: January 2023

Neste artigo, são apresentados resultados de um estudo sobre a força de trabalho que atua nas atividades STEM (acrônimo para Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) a partir de uma correspondência entre a Classificação Brasileira de Ocupações (CBO) e as definições internacionais das áreas STEM, principalmente os critérios adotados pelo órgão americano de estatística Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA). O principal objetivo é averiguar o perfil de gênero e de salário desses trabalhadores para identificar características já observadas em outros países. Primeiramente se observou que o trabalho STEM não se distribui homogeneamente entre as regiões brasileiras. O Distrito Federal e mais oito estados respondem por mais de 81% dos trabalhadores STEM do país, estando seis desses estados nas regiões Sul e Sudeste. Em termos nacionais, os postos de trabalho nas atividades STEM representam 1,19% do total de empregos no Brasil, em 2017. No estado de Santa Catarina, 0,87% dos empregos formais são em atividades STEM e esses empregos representam 3,41% do total nacional. O perfil de gênero dos trabalhadores em atividades STEM em Santa Catarina se alinha ao que tem sido observado internacionalmente, sendo as mulheres apenas 19% desses trabalhadores. Em termos de salários, o prêmio salarial STEM aparece em Santa Catarina, mas com tendência de redução ao longo do período 2010 e 2017.

Com isso, objetiva-se evidenciar tecnologias sociais feministas de sobrevivência forjadas por essas mulheres, quais sejam, o ato de falar, se autodefinir, as dinâmicas de cuidado, maternidade e coletividade. O trabalho é construído a partir de metodologias feministas, e, mais especificamente, do conhecimento situado, interseccionalidade e subalternidade. Ainda, adota-se como métodos a etnografia e realização de roda de conversa e entrevistas semiestruturadas em profundidade. Observa-se, por meio da presente reflexão, o conteúdo político das práticas mencionadas, que reorganizam noções de público, privado, político e pessoal e se desdobram na interpendência como projeto de sociedade, necessariamente vinculado à urgência de revisão minuciosa dos processos sociais de produção e reprodução.
A condição de gênero na trajetória acadêmico-profissional de pesquisadoras do Instituto Federal de Brasília
Authors: Crisóstomo Luana Soares , Pinto Field's Karla Amâncio
Published: January 2023

Este trabalho analisou o processo de inserção feminina e sua invisibilização em carreiras científicas. O objetivo foi identificar se a diferença de gênero prejudicou a produtividade acadêmica e a carreira das pesquisadoras. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas e o conteúdo foi analisado pelo método de análise textual discursiva. As narrativas mostram que as mulheres avançam lentamente na carreira devido à tripla jornada e a barreiras impostas pela sociedade patriarcal e capitalista, incluindo discriminações e preconceitos. Para se ter um lugar de fala, a mulher precisa se esforçar mais academicamente e profissionalmente do que os homens. A falta de divulgação das pesquisas sobre esse tema pode contribuir para a pouca presença feminina, não havendo reflexão e mantendo a divisão sexual. Desconstruir os ideais de objetividade, racionalidade e neutralidade da ciência é imprescindível na crítica feminista.

Epimedium alpinum subsp. albanicum new subspecies for the flora of Kosovo
Authors: Hashani Zeqir , Mala Xhavit , Maxhuni Qenan , Zeneli Lulzim
Published: January 2023

This paperwork provides data on the endemic taxa Epimedium alpinum subsp. albanicum Kit Tan, Shuka & Hallaçi, which is observed and identified for the first time for the territory of Kosovo. This taxon was found in Qafë Morine (Pass of Morina) within the locality of Devë, and Qafë Prush Municipality of Gjakova, on the road toward the border with Albania. Epimedium alpinum subsp. albanicum, is found in serpentine substrates which has a limited extent of presence in the investigated areas. This research includes the presence, description and distribution of this new taxa for the flora of Kosovo.
Analytical quality by design-based RP-HPLC method for quantification of pioglitazone and candesartan cilexetil in bilayer tablet and its forced degradation studies
Authors: Kola Hephzibah , Shanmugasundaram Sangeetha
Published: January 2023

Aim: The current project involves developing an RP-HPLC method for simultaneous quantification of Candesartan Cilexetil and Pioglitazone based on analytical quality by design (AQbD).

Materials and methods: When analysed in the Design Expert application, the critical method parameters were systematically refined using Central Composite Design and contours were derived for significant variables. A contour plot has been used to discover the technique operable design region that governs response variation, which is then empirically tested.

Results: Successful chromatographic separation of title analytes was achieved on kromasil C18 (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) column at 30 °C with mobile phase comprising 60% 20 Mm Potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate and 40% acetonitrile (v/v), isocratic elution pattern, 0.9 mL/min flow rate, and UV detection at 220 nm. The linear model for Candesartan Cilexetil was from 4 to 24 µg/ mL and Pioglitazone at 7.5–45 µg/ mL, respectively.

Conclusion: The method met all the ICH Q2 (R1) validation criteria. The current approach aided for analysing simultaneous drugs can be expanded into quantifying drugs in biological matrix predominance with maximum recovery.
On asymptotic correlation coefficient for some order statistics
Authors: Wang Jinliang , Wang Fang , Hu Songbo
Published: January 2023

By the relationship between a continuous population $ X $ and the uniform distribution $ U[0, 1] $, we gain for a sample quantile an equivalent expression of its variance and for two different sample quantiles the asymptotic correlation coefficient. As the population of interest can have no expectation, the obtained conclusions are applicable to the location estimating problem of a Cauchy distribution. On that occasion, we finally obtained a quick and effective estimator established by a linear function of some sample quantiles. For similar problems, the presented approach is worthy of reference.
Moral Uncertainty and Public Justification
Authors: Barrett Jacob , Schmidt Andreas T. , Barrett Jacob
Published: January 2023

Moral uncertainty and disagreement pervade our lives. Yet we still need to make decisions and act, both individually and politically. So, what should we do? Moral uncertainty theorists provide a theory of what individuals should do when they are uncertain about morality. Public reason liberals provide a theory of how societies should deal with reasonable disagreements about morality. They defend the public justification principle: state action is permissible only if it can be justified to all reasonable people. In this article, we bring these two approaches together. Specifically, we investigate whether considerations of moral uncertainty support public reason liberalism: given moral uncertainty, should we favor public justification? We argue that while moral uncertainty theory cannot vindicate an exceptionless public justification principle, it supports adopting public justification as a pro tanto principle – albeit one that can be overridden when the moral stakes are high. It also provides new answers to some intramural debates among public reason liberals and new responses to some common objections.
From Branded Content to Government Storytelling in Mexico
Authors: Gomez-Barrios Armin
Published: January 2023

Related to corporate communication, storytelling has been a trend in Mexico for three decades now. This chapter will review concepts of branded content and corporate storytelling. Then, a typology of dramatized stories focused on brand positioning will be proposed, offering examples of each category. Two successful storytelling cases in Mexico will be reviewed: a brewing company trademark (Grupo Modelo) and an institutional brand of the Mexican government (National Coordination for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage). Finally, the learning obtained from the dramatized stories will be discussed.
Selling (In)Security
Authors: Rebollo-Bueno Sara
Published: January 2023

This chapter discusses the role played by the emotion of fear in the advertising output of security companies. Its importance lies in the fact that these companies are selling security and protection as brand values in their advertising, while their audiences receive through branded information possible threats that lie in wait. The advertising strategies of Spanish companies Securitas Direct and Prosegur are analysed, both of which provide different solutions to the same threat, using the emotion of fear.
How Branded Content is Strategically Transforming the Use of Traditional and Non-Traditional Media in Integrated Campaigns
Authors: Rangel-Pérez Celia , Carretero María José
Published: January 2023

New technologies have brought a fresh set of problems to the world of advertising and publicity, such as a multiplicity of screens and media. This is on top of the problems that already beset that world, such as saturation and the lack of credibility of advertising messages. The industry's response has been the use of non-conventional media, aimed at reaching the consumer in a different way. To determine whether this media has become a standardised, across-the-board phenomenon, a quantitative and qualitative study of 125 integrated campaigns was done that won the major awards at the El Sol “Latin American Advertising Festival,” and The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity between 2015 and 2021. The boundaries between conventional and non-conventional media are now decidedly less clear-cut, so much so that the information media, and consumers as well, have become, albeit unconsciously, a part of the advertising and publicity machinery.
Data Modeling in Finance Challenges
Authors: Ra Prasanth Kumar , Kumar Santosh , Singh Vikas
Published: January 2023

This chapter aims to draw readers' attention on the challenges of modeling in finance. The new quantitative methods offer extraordinary capabilities with the latest algorithms using AI, ML, etc., aided by high technological computational power. However, the adoption of the latest tools and techniques comes with many challenges that are limited by human resources and nuances of financial industries. Unlike the recommendation-based models in the technology industry, real money is at stake in the financial industry. Hence, it is not very prudent to accept the result of quantitative methods without understanding the inherited risks. Despite the hype created by data scientists, the financial industry cautiously adopted the highly complicated learning tools after due diligence because investor and shareholder money is at stake and experts want to strategize financial decisions based on the data model outputs. Further, the chapter brings the key highlights of financial models.
