Published: March 2020

Resumo O WHODAS 2.0 (World Health Organization Disability Assesment Schedule) é um instrumento criado pela OMS (Organização Mundial da Saúde) para medida de funcionalidade e deficiência, fundamentado no modelo biopsicossocial e totalmente amparado no arcabouço teórico-conceitual da CIF (Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde). O objetivo deste artigo é validar a versão brasileira do WHODAS 2.0 para o uso em pessoas com HIV/AIDS. Participaram 100 pessoas com diagnóstico de HIV/AIDS. Foram utilizados dois instrumentos de avaliação, o WHODAS 2.0 na versão de 36 itens e o WHOQoL-HIV-Bref (World Health Organization Quality of Life em pessoas com HIV, versão abreviada). As propriedades psicométricas testadas foram consistência interna e validade de critério. A consistência interna foi adequada para todos os domínios, com exceção do domínio Atividades de Vida (α = 0,69) e Autocuidado (α = 0,32). A validade de critério foi adequada, com correlações moderadas aos domínios do WHODAS 2.0 com os domínios do WHOQoL-HIV-Abreviado. Os resultados indicaram o instrumento WHODAS 2.0 como válido para avaliação da funcionalidade de pessoas com HIV/AIDS. O uso dos dados do domínio de Autocuidado deve ser cuidadosamente considerado.

Authors: Agle Claudia Guimarães , Sá Cloud Kennedy Couto de , Amorim Filho Dejean Sampaio , Figueiredo Marcondes Antonio de Medeiros
Published: March 2020

Resumo Contexto O edema ocupacional (EO) de membros inferiores (MMII) é um importante fator de queda na qualidade de vida, e a sua prevenção impõe a prescrição de medidas profiláticas, como o uso de meias de compressão (MCs). Objetivos Avaliar a efetividade das MCs na prevenção do EO e a sua repercussão na qualidade de vida de cabeleireiras. Métodos Este ensaio clínico realizou medidas de tornozelo e panturrilha de 38 cabeleireiras sem doença venosa no início e no final da jornada de trabalho em um momento sem e em outro usando MCs. Também responderam um questionário sobre sintomas e qualidade de vida em doença venosa. Resultados Os valores do ponto B foram de 21,1±2,2 cm no momento inicial sem meias, 22,1±2,3 cm no momento final sem meias (p = 0,0001 em relação ao inicial sem meias), e 21,2±2,1 cm no momento final com meias (p = 0,0001 em relação ao final sem meias). Não foi significante a diferença entre os valores médios do ponto B inicial sem meias e final com meias (p=0,324), ou seja, não houve formação de edema nos MMII ao final da jornada de trabalho em ortostatismo prolongado quando em uso de MCs. Pôde-se observar melhora da limitação sobre as atividades laborais (p = 0,0001), domésticas (p = 0,008) e de lazer ou sociais em pé (p = 0,0001). Conclusões As MCs são efetivas na prevenção do EO de MMII, e a atenuação de sintomas como dor e fadiga contribui diretamente para melhor qualidade de vida de cabeleireiras.
Gestores, Engajamento e Comportamentos Políticos: Uma Relação Não Linear
Authors: Moraes Romulo Matos de , Teixeira Aridelmo José Campanharo
Published: March 2020

RESUMO Contexto normalmente ligados aos centros de poder e tomada de decisão, os gestores encontram-se mais próximos aos efeitos da Percepção de Política nas Organizações, um fenômeno considerado contraproducente, porém inerente à própria existência das instituições. Objetivo este estudo investiga como gestores de diversas empresas, com diferentes níveis de Engajamento no Trabalho encaram a presença de comportamentos políticos em suas organizações. Método dados de uma survey com 1498 gestores foram submetidos a análise de clusters; regressões múltiplas lineares e não lineares subsidiaram testes de hipóteses. Resultados na maioria dos casos analisados, a resiliência, o envolvimento e a concentração mitigaram a percepção de comportamentos políticos na organização. Entretanto, constatou-se uma quebra de paradigma entre os altamente engajados: o Engajamento impactou no aumento da Percepção de Política. Conclusões Engajamento no Trabalho e Percepção de Política na Organização relacionam-se de forma curvilínea, indicando que não são necessariamente antagônicos. O estudo indica que gestores emocionalmente e cognitivamente estruturados tendem a aumentar seu engajamento mesmo diante de uma elevada percepção de um ambiente político, revelando uma perspectiva positiva às práticas de gestão: fomentar um maior entendimento e conexão com o ambiente organizacional possivelmente trará resultados mais eficazes do que tentativas de coibir ou negligenciar os comportamentos políticos.Classificação JEL: D72, G32, C2.
O “Problema da Imersão” nos Estudos do Empreendedorismo: Uma Proposição Teórica
Authors: Corrêa Victor Silva , Vale Glaucia Maria Vasconcellos , Melo Pedro Lucas de Resende , Cruz Marina de Almeida
Published: March 2020

RESUMO Objetivo o artigo procura investigar o conceito de imersão e sua influência aos estudos do empreendedorismo. Metodologia o trabalho, um ensaio teórico, apropria-se da literatura sobre embeddedness de Granovetter, e associa-a a proposições clássicas da sociologia econômica de Karl Polanyi. Reflexões relacionadas às estruturas de reciprocidade e redistribuição são, aí, enfatizadas. Resultados evidências sugerem que o conceito de imersão de Granovetter acaba por não romper com a lógica utilitarista que caracteriza os estudos subsocializados dos quais critica. O mesmo ocorre quando o conceito é empregado por pesquisadores do empreendedorismo. Embora implícita à origem da associação entre “imersão e empreendedorismo” se encontre a noção do empreendedor enquanto criador de redes, isto é, como agente influenciado pelos recursos derivados das estruturas nas quais se encontram imersos, estudiosos da área acabam por endossar o pressuposto do ator interessado. Conclusões o artigo chama a atenção dos pesquisadores do empreendedorismo para a repercussão, ainda pouco explorada, de outros tipos de imersão social (Reciprocidade e Redistribuição). Ao mesmo tempo, sugere por meio da “imersão total” a criação de novo modelo analítico, eventualmente capaz de ampliar as reflexões sobre as influências da imersão em diferentes estruturas à trajetória empreendedora. Finaliza com novas proposições, com destaque para abordagens e sugestões de investigações ainda hoje inexploradas. Classificação JEL: L26, A2, L21.

Universidad y feminización: la experiencia cubana
Authors: Martínez Mayra Tejuca
Published: March 2020

Resumen A lo largo de los últimos sesenta años la educación superior cubana ha mostrado variaciones importantes de su matrícula general dependiendo de las políticas de acceso puestas en vigor en diferentes momentos. Sin embargo, hasta el curso 2006-2007 se mantuvo un incremento sostenido de la proporción de mujeres en las aulas universitarias, lo que dio lugar a igual comportamiento del índice de paridad de género, aunque a partir del mencionado año académico se invirtió la tendencia del indicador hasta alcanzar un valor mínimo en el 2014-2015. El trabajo realiza una revisión analítica de datos de matrícula, tanto totales como desagregados por ramas del conocimiento, con el propósito de identificar las causas que determinaron la disminución de la feminización de la matrícula universitaria entre los cursos 2006-2007 y 2014-2015, así como su recuperación en los cursos posteriores. Se concluye que tales variaciones en el acceso de las mujeres se explican esencialmente a partir de cambios que tuvieron lugar en las políticas de ingreso desde finales de la primera década del 2000. El estudio también aborda la diferenciación por sexo de las carreras universitarias, donde se aprecia claramente una menor incorporación de las mujeres en los programas de estudio relacionados con las Ciencias, Tecnologías, Ingenierías y Matemática (CTIM), a pesar de su reconocida importancia en la necesaria diversificación de profesiones y empleos directamente relacionados con el desarrollo económico y social. Adicionalmente se proponen tareas de investigación para continuar profundizando en estas problemáticas.
Laboratory testing and numerical modeling of geomembrane electrical leak detection surveys
Authors: Cen W. J. , Du X. H. , He H. N. , Yan J. , Rahman M. S.
Published: March 2020

Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the influence of the positions of positive and negative electrodes on the electrical response of a leak in the geomembrane. A numerical evaluation was performed to model the laboratory conditions and to investigate the effect of dipole spacing, excitation voltage, and impoundment resistivity on the leak detection sensitivity. The results of laboratory tests show that leaks cannot be identified when the positive electrode is very close to the leak and the electrical response of a leak in the geomembrane is independent of the position of the negative electrode. The results from the 3D finite element model indicate that leak detection sensitivity improves nonlinearly as the dipole spacing increases, and it tends to be stable after the dipole spacing exceeds 5% of the length of the survey line. The results also indicate that there is an almost linear increase in the leak detection sensitivity with increasing excitation voltage. Substantial improvement was obtained in the leak detection sensitivity for a greater impoundment resistivity. The numerical results indicate that 90% of leaks in a geomembrane liner can be effectively detected and accurately located for the 3D finite element model of a geomembrane lined earth-rock dam.

Creative Linguistic Potential of Media Language: the Word as a Multifunctional Weaving Tool
Authors: Novikova Marina , Novikov Philipp
Published: March 2020

In the age of information society the word which is often unique in its use individual and valuable on its own, reflects the phenomena of the dynamic world when it gets into the focus of journalists’ attention. It actively influences the modern people, their linguistic behavior, their systems of values and the linguistic mind. The creative character of linguistic activity of journalists is manifested in creation of new methods and instruments and the transformation of the old ones. The science of methodology which examines various aspects of media development, types, character, forms, and the impact on the society, is closely related to medialinguistics. The modern state of theoretical and empirical research of the media sphere demonstrates the relevance of linguists’ participation in the language of media in various paradigms of the academic knowledge. The article is dedicated to the creative use of words in the media space. The word is the tool leading to transformation (embroidery hoop), the material of creative alteration (linen) and the result of the active development of the language, it (fabric) is actively used to various ends, in the close interaction of emotive and manipulative functions determined by informational specifics of linguistic creativity of journalists. The research is focused on studying the powerful potential of the multidimensional aspect of the Russian language as a dynamic tool of communication capable of conveying various meanings in the dynamic world that is constantly changing. Stating that the development of the corpus linguistics reflects the rise of the interest in social and pragmatic functions of speech, including the media speech, the authors analyse the pragmatic value and the multidimensional aspect of the modem media which relies on the interdependency of its expressiveness and informative value. The authors come to the conclusion that the verbal images reflect the creative values of a journalist, their moral, political and aesthetic assessment of the world and form an integral comprehension of the information space.
Managing the Adaptation of Modern Society to the Industry 4.0 Based on Information Waves and Impulses
Authors: Popkova Elena , Sozinova Anastasia , Menshchikova Vera
Published: March 2020

The article analyzes the essence of the management process of adaptation of modern society to the industry 4.0 on the basis of information waves and impulses based on original ideas and scientific discoveries made in the article by A.P. Sukhodolov, I.V. Anokhov and V.A. Marenko Information impulse-wave interaction between the media and society. Scientists proposed an impulsive-oscillating mechanism for the influence of information on four levels of its perception by an individual to explain the essence, logic and internal structure of the management process of modern society's adaptation to the industry 4.0, traditionally represented in the form of an unexplained and little-studied “black box”. As a result, the authors have developed a mechanism for managing the adaptation of modern society to the industry 4.0 on the basis of information waves and pulses.
Values and Meanings as a Basis of Mass Media. The Blogosphere Potential in Creation of New Information Impulses
Authors: Sukhodolov Alexander , Anokhov Igor
Published: March 2020

In the previous article [1], the authors considered the impulse wave mechanism of the interaction of mass media and the society as of a receiving side. An information impulse is an important factor of the aggregative state change of the respective societies. This impulse is changing continuously in accordance with the aims and objectives of the managing subject and with susceptibility of the managed object.
In the 90’s, mass media as a means of society coordination got a significant bias towards negative news. Hostile issues (groundless and paid-for ones) became more important than positive news. The consequence was the loss of social optimism and the growth of intercommunal propensity towards conflict. Thus, the return to positive content of mass media is an issue of convalescent rehabilitation of the society and of its strategic survival.
The above mentioned drawback of mass media, which appeared during the crisis of the 90’s, should be overcome by the managing subject with the use of totally new information impulses generators which take into account the modern realities of the media space. Mass media should not only reflect the moral character of the society, they should also provide a positive (sometimes ideal) focus to be oriented at.
In the article, a hypothesis is suggested that the next stage of mass media development should be connected with four-component informative images which are combined into continued video sequences.
The authors assume that the modern rapidly developing Internet networks can cause synergetic amalgamation of physically oriented, emotional, intellectual and axiological impulses. The common ethics of the individuals generating such impulses can become a basis of this amalgamation. Supposedly, the new synergetic impulse can overcome the destructive nature of the modern mass media and start a new form of society coordination.
Transformation of the News Systems on the Russian Regional TV Channels
Authors: Evdokimov Vladimir
Published: March 2020

The relevance of studying the process of the news systems transformation in the media is substantiated by the constant interest of the society in getting the information disseminated by the mass media. It is necessary for the individual understanding of the phenomena and of the objective reality patterns. The article attempts to identify the factors influencing the process of the news systems formation in the modern media. The article is based on the general-scientific methods of the historical and philosophical analysis and on the general theory of knowledge. Such general-scientific methods as historical, dialectical, systematic, structural and comparative ones as well as specific methods, namely observation, document analysis and content analysis form the methodological base of the research. The main method is the systematic and structural approach which gives an opportunity of regarding any object as an integral complex of interconnected elements. The article highlights both the informative, holistic news systems which are capable of reflecting the trends in the development of socio-political processes and patterns of the society life and the incomplete, fragmentary ones, the elements of which are poorly connected with each other. The authors prove that the process of the formation of the news systems as of meaningful and self-organizing phenomena is reflected in eliminating distinctions between relevant and irrelevant events and in the harmonization of journalists’ activities.
Asymptomatic neurotoxicity of amyloid β-peptides (Aβ1-42 and Aβ25-35) on mouse embryonic stem cell-derived neural cells

Published: March 2020

One of the strategies in the establishment of in vitro oxidative stress models for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), is to induce neurotoxicity by amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides in suitable neural cells. Presently, data on the neurotoxicity of Aβ in neural cells differentiated from stem cells are limited. In this study, we attempted to induce oxidative stress in transgenic 46C mouse embryonic stem cell-derived neurons via treatment with Ab peptides (Aβ1-42 and Aβ25-35). 46C neural cells were generated by promoting the formation of multicellular aggregates, embryoid bodies (EBs) in the absence of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), followed by the addition of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) as the neural inducer. Mature neuronal cells were exposed to different concentrations of Aβ1-42 and Aβ25-35 for 24 h. Morphological changes, cell viability, and intracellular ROS production were assessed. We found that 100 µM Aβ1-42 and 50 µM Aβ25-35 only promoted 40% and 10%, respectively, of cell injury and death in the 46C-derived neuronal cells. Interestingly, treatment with each of the Aβ peptides resulted in a significant increase of intracellular ROS activity, as compared to untreated neurons. These findings indicate the potential of using neurons derived from stem cells and Aβ peptides in generating oxidative stress for the establishment of an in vitro AD model that could be useful for drug screening and natural product studies.

Published: March 2020

The approaches to the category "History of Ukrainian Law" are analyzed, its author definition and periodization in the historical dimension is proposed. Doctrinal approach of the Department of History of Law and State of the law Faculty of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv is defined, which consists in recognition of the right of law before the State Institute. In our opinion, with the advent of the state, history of law appears as a history of national legislation in its relationship and interdependence with the state's regulatory activities – its administrative and judicial institutions, organization and activities of the army, police, and punitive agencies etc. The author indicates that the story is indicative that society can develop steadily in the coordinate of the environment, and the function of the instrument of the Zaman environment executes the right.

The porpose of article is reserchirg the history of Ukrainian law: conceptual, istoriografìcal and comparative components of its identification

It is alleged that for the first time the definition of "history of Ukrainian Law" is not implemented in Ukraine but beyond its borders. The galaxy of lawyers, and among them and historians of law, after the defeat of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917 – 1921, were forced to leave the motherland and settle in the neighboring countries of Eastern Europe. A textbook of such name appeared in the conditions of Ukrainian emigration in the early 1920-ies. This primacy belongs to several researchers of the Ukrainian diaspora, who, with no historical, historical, legal sources and archival materials, have remained in the absolute majority in the libraries and archival funds of Soviet Ukraine. However, in these conditions they were able to lay the foundations for the formation of the appropriate field of scientific knowledge. It is noted that the successor of the traditions preserved in the diaspora can be called the Department of the History of law and State of the law Faculty of Taras Shevchenko Kyiv University, whose members for many years advocate not only the name of the educational The subject "History of Ukrainian Law", but also prove its genetic connection with the right of the Rus state, other national state formations of the later period. A few manuals on the history of Ukrainian law came from the pen of the lecturers. Special emphasis was made on the works of Alexander Shevchenko, who became the author of several textbooks and manuals that are still widely used in the educational process of law faculties in Ukraine. In one of them, O. Shevchenko actualized The problem of periodization of Ukrainian law, where the main criterion was determined by the evolution of the sources of law. In these positions is the author of the proposed publication. In the final part of the work emphasized the examples in the differences in the evolution, essence and content of the Ukrainian law from the Russian.
Peculiarities of negotiating by a barrister during reconciliation within pre-trial investigation
Authors: Kovalchuk A.
Published: March 2020

So far, the current legislation provides the parties of the criminal proceedings for the right of reconciliation. Moreover, the Criminal and Criminal Procedure Codes provide for grounds, participants, stages of the reconciliation process. Nevertheless, the most crucial point for attainment of peace between the parties are direct negotiations of the victim and suspected person or defendant. It is logical that legislator doesn’t set limits and make recommendations upon negotiating process.

The purpose of the article is to identify the main stages of negotiation with a view to reconciling the suspect and the victim in the pre-trial investigation and outlining known negotiation techniques that may be helpful to the lawyer in the process of communication between the parties in the context of reconciliation.

It is stated, that the barrister is an irreplaceable member of the negotiating process during reconciliation within criminal proceedings. He can not only legally qualify the parties` interests, but also, based on his own experience and scientific awareness, can help achieve effective results of the negotiations. Meanwhile, the author justifies the necessity of additional awareness of the barrister with respect to negotiating and psychology aimed at speeding up of negotiations and establish contact with each party and between the parties.

It is determined that the knowledge of classical communication techniques and the research of new communication techniques will increase the level
of negotiation efficiency and, as a consequence, the successful resolution
of conflicts. Given that reconciliation negotiations are often considered successful when satisfy the interests of all parties, development of communication skills based on the above mentioned techniques will help to reach consensus.

The author seeks to analysis of the familiar negotiating techniques and making predictions about the implementation of theories within criminal procedural practice as well as illustration of the causal link between the lawyer's negotiating skills and the parties' possible reactions.

The stage of the negotiation process is illustrated, taking into account the following categories: personal characteristics of the parties, the preparatory process, tactics and techniques of communication and feedback of the parties.
The procedure of defines the volume of evidence in the court of first instance and the system of their research
Authors: Pylypchuk O.
Published: March 2020

The article focuses on the problem of defines the volume of evidence to be research and the system of their researching in the court of first instance including those evidence that arising in connection with changing dated 04.10/2019 in the Criminal procedural Code of Ukraine.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the legislation and propose ways to improve current legislation in order to optimize procedures aimed at planning the research of evidence in the court of first instance.

The current the Criminal procedural Code of Ukraine assumes that the amount of evidence to be research, the court receives not in the form of protocols, of proprietary evidence or other materials, and with a application speech, which is proclaimed by the parties at the beginning of the court session. Introductory speech is the first information that builds a court views about evidences, through which the parties intend to substantiate the substitution of their legal positions concerning the prosecution, their affiliation, admissibility and sufficiency, order of their research into Court hearings, as well as the content of other legal positions of the parties in this proceeding. During the proclamation of the application speeches, the parties cite the amount of evidence on which their position is built, after which the court must investigate the evidence submitted by them. To construct a structural and logical study of evidence, a necessary plan for such a study and establish the evidence study procedure.

Under the concept of 'evidence research ' procedure, it is proposed to understand a certain sequence and order of of actions that will depend on a particular criminal proceeding. In the study of evidence, the court should consider the specifics of the proceeding; Specifics of the evidence submitted by the Parties; Focus how long it takes to study the submitted evidence. If a party raises a question about inadmissibility evidence, such doubt should be in writing decorated with appropriate evidence. A party that opposes such a written application shall refute such a statement by submitting the court its arguments.

In the article analyses questions about inadmissibility evidence and making a propose to introduction procedure to recognition evidences how inadmissibility. In the presence of a substantiated position of rejection in the acceptance of evidence, the party may in writing argue about the recognition of such evidence invalid.

Published: March 2020

In this paper we aim to demonstrate how physical perspective enriches statistical analysis when dealing with a complex system of many interacting agents of non-physical origin. To this end, we discuss analysis of urban public transportation networks viewed as complex systems. In such studies, a multi-disciplinary approach is applied by integrating methods in both data processing and statistical physics to investigate the correlation between public transportation network topological features and their operational stability. These studies incorporate concepts of coarse graining and clusterization, universality and scaling, stability and percolation behavior, diffusion and fractal analysis.

Measuring Underground Economy of Bangladesh: Transaction Approach
Authors: Rahman A. F. M. Ataur , Khan Afsana Rahman
Published: March 2020

Underground economy is a malaise for the government that restricts its fiscal ability and infuses confusion in development planning. For a developing country like Bangladesh, which thrives for prospering this can hurt disproportionately. Therefore, measuring underground economy is important for Bangladesh. In this study, using data of 1980-2010 we have used transaction method proposed by Feige (1979) to calculate its extent in Bangladesh. We have found that unreported economy accounts a substantial portion of official GDP. Its growth rate was high positive in some years and in some other years it experienced a stagnant trend.

Service Gap of Selected Public and Private Commercial Banks in Bangladesh
Authors: Akhter Mst. Momena
Published: March 2020

The economy of a country is largely dependent on banking sector. In this case, Bangladesh is not exceptional. Both public and private banks play a vital role in the economy, making up one of the biggest providers of services in the Bangladesh economy. In the current banking environment, service quality is one of the main weapons, which enables the banks to differentiate from each other. It is said that service quality has become an important factor to survive and succeed in the banking sector.  Hence, providing a better service quality is vital, as banks have to compete for customers. In this paper, the factors leading to the service provider gaps in case of selected public and private commercial banks have been identified and measured and it attempts to show the relationship between the provider gaps of these banks and the gap between expected service and perceived service (customer gaps). Two public commercial banks (Janata Bank Ltd., and Agrani Bank Ltd.) and two private commercial banks (Dutch Bangla Bank Ltd., and Prime Bank Ltd.) were selected for the purpose of the study. In this paper there is an endeavor to recognize whether the service provider gaps and the customer gaps are correlated and takes into consideration the problems of organizational quality gaps where the quality losses occur. This will help the management of these banks to know where the service gaps lie and how to close the gaps for providing quality service to their clients. This study shows that the overall service gap is higher in the public commercial banks in comparison to the private commercial banks. To remove this gap and to improve the overall service quality this paper has recommended some measures for both public and private commercial banks in Bangladesh.

The objective of this paper is to analyze and discuss the impacts of monetary policy on Bangladesh inflation, identify the major drawbacks of the policies in minimizing the inflation rate and suggest policy recommendations on some key issues of Bangladesh inflation. To estimate the effects of the monetary policy in Bangladesh, at first the impact of different monetary policy tools used by the “Central Banks” of the developed countries have been reviewed. Next, the impact of the monetary policy of Bangladesh Bank and government have been analyzed for which the data on money supply, growth of the GDP, changes in the price level, and changes in the unemployment rate have been quantitatively analyzed. We mainly used Consumer Price Index to determine the level on inflation in Bangladesh. Moreover, our study focuses on data collected from the 1950-2012, mainly focusing our study from the period of 2000-2012 as major transitions have been observed in the economy during the 12 years. We have further analyzed whether there is any correlation between (i) inflation rates and money supply, and (ii) inflation rates and growth of GDP. On the basis of the outcome of the qualitative and quantitative analysis, in the end findings and conclusion have been drawn. We have found the correlation, the impacts of monetary policy and inflation, their drawbacks and possible solutions such as independence of the monetary policy from the fiscal policy and enhancing the transparency, communication and signaling effect of policy moves, keeping the broad money in line with the estimated real GDP growth, borrowing from non-bank sources, and control money supply through various open market operations. Due to lack of access to sufficient data, some of our work is based on hypothesis and models. So some data vary according to the model being used. Lastly, even though, many works have been done from the perspective of developed and other developing countries, much work has not been carried out to establish the relationship between monetary policy and inflation in Bangladesh.

In other words, Money Laundering refers to the conversion or "Laundering" of money which is illegally obtained, so as to make it appear to originate from a legitimate source. The recent activity in money laundering in India is through political parties’ corporate companies and share market. Bank fraud is a serious financial crime that involves the unlawful obtainment of funds from a bank or other financial institution. Money is the root cause of many evils like corruption, black marketing, smuggling, drug trafficking, tax evasion, and the buck does not stop here. While carrying out the Know your Client (KYC) norms, special care has to be exercised to ensure that the contracts are not anonymous or under fictitious names. Money is the prime reason for engaging in almost any type of criminal activity .Money laundering is the method by which criminals disguise the illegal origins of their wealth.

Authors: Fatema Nazneen , Ibrahim Abdullah Mohammed
Published: March 2020

In this depressed world financial scenario, Islamic banking has emerged as a strong alternate financial system. Its growth is not restricted to the Muslim societies but Islamic financial products are also gaining popularity among non-Muslim countries. The objective of this paper is to scrutinize and compare the liquidity and profitability performances of five Islamic banks in Bangladesh in between the period 2005 and 2011. In order to scan the performances, this study highlights on different standards of liquidity and profitability measurements logical to Islamic philosophy; such as liquidity and profitability ratios, liquidity reserves by the banks, net liquidity gap, profit creation from different sectors of the banks, etc. Multiple correlations among liquidity and profitability ratios are shown here. The results of all these measurements are quite apparent. In particular, among all the independent variables, at 90% confidence level only investment to total assets is found to be significantly affecting Return on Assets (a measurement of profitability ratio) for Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd., Shahjalal Islami Bank Ltd. and EXIM Bank Ltd., whereas with Return on Equity for only Shahjalal Islami Bank Ltd. However, multicollinearity has been found to be a great issue when considering liquidity impact on profitability for Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd., EXIM Bank Ltd. and Social Islami Bank Ltd. Overall P-values suggest that at 95% confidence level liquidity model proves significant on ROA for Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd. and Social Islami Bank Ltd., while on ROE for Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd. and Shahjalal Islami Bank Ltd.

La investigación tuvo como propósito determinar el efecto del método “Construcción global” en el aprendizaje del sistema Braille en los docentes del CEBE N° 001- 002 y PRITE, para lo cual se utilizó un diseño pre experimental con pre y pos prueba en una muestra no probabilística de 21 docentes del CEBE N° 0001-0002 y PRITE de Tarapoto-Perú. Los resultados indican que el nivel de logro de aprendizaje antes de la aplicación del método de construcción global se encuentra en el nivel regular para el 28.57% de los docentes, lo que supone que está en camino de lograr los aprendizajes previstos. Sin embargo, después de la aplicación del método se encuentra en un nivel de regular a bueno, para el 52.38% y 38.10% de los docentes, respectivamente, evidenciando el logro de los aprendizajes previstos e incluso demostrando un manejo solvente y muy satisfactorio en todas las tareas propuestas. Concluyeron que el método de construcción global tiene efecto en el aprendizaje del sistema braille debido a que las actividades desarrolladas tuvieron un carácter dinámico y didáctico enfatizando los componentes sensoriales, corporales, manuales y abstractas (lectura y escritura) de manera sistemática logrando que el docente internalice el código braille de forma progresiva.
