Published: September 2023

В современной экономической системе уже дано показатель финансового результата стал относительным и зависящим от множества факторов, включая и финансовую политику хозяйствующего субъекта. Возможность влияния на показатели финансового результата совершенно законными способами не для кого сегодня не секрет. Международные и национальные стандарты предусматривают вариативность выбора различных методик и приемов в целях оптимизации расходов и регулирования уровня доходов коммерческой организации. По этой причине применение вариативных способов учета в процессе формирования финансового результата всегда находилось под пристальным вниманием как теоретиков, так и практикующих бухгалтеров. В работе авторами предложен системный подход применения вариативных способов оценки финансового результата в бухгалтерском учете, формирование которого происходит под влиянием внутренних и внешних факторов функционирования экономических субъектов. Применение на практике данного подхода будет способствовать повышению эффективности управления бизнес-процессами.

In modern economical system the financial result has become relative and depends on lots of factors, including financial policy of the business entity. International and national standards are supposed to have different methods of expenses optimization and regulation of company’s income level. Variable methods in the financial result formation are being used by accountants System method of variable ways of assessment of the financial result accounting which depends on inner and outer factors of economical subjects function. The use of that method can result in an effective business management.

Alianza colombiana para el manejo de lípidos
Authors: Restrepo Erazo Katherine
Published: September 2023

Han transcurrido 9 años desde el renacimiento de la publicación de la Revista Colombiana de Endocrinología, Diabetes y Metabolismo (ACE), órgano oficial de difusión del conocimiento en diversas áreas de la endocrinología. Hemos avanzado en el proceso de indexación apareciendo en 6 sistemas (Dialnet, DOAJ, Latindex, ROAD, ProQuest y part of Clarivate), con lo cual se ha logrado una mayor visibilidad en línea y posicionamiento, no solo a nivel latinoamericano sino internacional, ya que existen pocas revistas especializadas en el tema. La participación de pares internacionales en el arbitraje nos ha permitido construir alianzas con sociedades científicas afines con el fin de seguir cultivando la excelencia académica y cumplir con la misión de llevar educación médica continua a los profesionales de la salud.
Una de las propuestas realizadas por la junta directiva de la Asociación Colombina de Endocrinología Diabetes y Metabolismo en el periodo de 2023 a 2025 es continuar cultivando las alianzas de cooperación con asociaciones científicas afines en temas que manejamos conjuntamente, con aportes de conocimiento multidisciplinario. En este sentido, recientemente he tenido la oportunidad de participar en una alianza con la Sociedad Argentina de Lípidos (SAL), la Sociedad Colombiana de Cardiología (SCC) y la Asociación Colombiana de Medicina Interna (ACMI), con el objetivo principal de realizar una alianza colombiana para el estudio y manejo de los lípidos, teniendo en cuenta el impacto del colesterol LDL como principal factor de riesgo cardiovascular. Además, de acuerdo a la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), la enfermedad cardiovascular aterosclerótica (ECVA) representa más del 85 % de las muertes de origen cardiovascular y tres cuartas partes de estas muertes ocurren en países de medianos y bajos ingresos, por lo cual es un problema de salud pública, y es indispensable lograr acuerdos para el diagnóstico y tratamiento oportunos de las dislipidemias.

Authors: Gómez González Javier Alberto , Yepes Cortés Carlos Augusto
Published: September 2023

Introducción: denosumab reduce el riesgo de fractura osteoporótica. Preocupaciones sobre los efectos secundarios raros de las terapias antirresortivas como fractura femoral atípica, han contribuido a la infrautilización de los medicamentos para la osteoporosis.
Objetivo: presentar caso clínico para reconocer las características clínicas, el diagnóstico y el manejo de una fractura femoral atípica por uso de denosumab.
Presentación del caso: paciente femenina de 83 años, con osteoporosis de alto riesgo de fractura en manejo con ácido zolendrónico por 5 años con empeoramiento de densidad mineral ósea. Implementacion de manejo a denosumab recibiendo 3 dosis, presentando fractura atípica de fémur.
Discusión y conclusión: la eficacia del denosumab para disminuir riesgo de fracturas en pacientes con alto riesgo de fracturas es evidente. Existe una gran incertidumbre sobre cómo tratar a los pacientes después de que hayan sufrido una fractura atípica de fémur, sin embargo, el beneficio de usar terapia antirresortiva para manejo de la osteoporosis es mayor que el riesgo de presentar un evento adverso derivado de la terapia antirresortiva. La terapia anabólica es una alternativa para el manejo de la osteoporosis en este grupo de pacientes.

Authors: Rodríguez Camila del Pilar , Smiht Muñoz Yhoiss , Castellanos Jenniffer Alejandra , Pustovrh María Carolina
Published: September 2023

Contexto: un ambiente materno obesogénico puede impactar directamente tanto sobre la función placentaria como el desarrollo y crecimiento del feto. La enzima 11? hidroxiesteroide deshidrogenasa tipo 2 (11?-HSD2), ubicada en sincitiotrofoblasto, inactiva el cortisol transformándolo en cortisona para limitar su paso directo a circulación fetal. Diversas investigaciones proponen que una alta exposición a los glucocorticoides se asocia con una reducción del perímetro cefálico al nacer, aumento de la distracción y falta de atención, entre otras diversas alteraciones.
Objetivo: determinar la expresión proteica de 11?-HSD2 en muestras de placenta a término clasificadas de acuerdo al IMC.
Metodología:  estudio de tipo corte transversal analítico. Para el desarrollo de la investigación se reclutó una población de 300 gestantes que asistieron al trabajo de parto en una IPS de la ciudad de Cali, se eligió para el cumplimiento del objetivo de este estudio una muestra de 15 tejidos placentarios (5 de cada grupo clasificado de acuerdo al IMC), previa firma de consentimiento informado. Las muestras de tejido placentario provenientes de las mujeres gestantes clasificadas de acuerdo al IMC fueron analizadas por inmunohistoquímica para la enzima 11?-HSD2. La inmunomarcación se evaluó por medio de software Image Pro Plus V 6.0. Los resultados se indican como la media ± EE. Se consideraron diferencias significativas cuando p< 0.05. 
Resultados: la enzima 11?-HSD2 se expresó en el citoplasma del sincitiotrofoblasto que reviste las vellosidades placentarias, con expresión menor en las placentas provenientes de mujeres con obesidad pregestacional en comparación con las de mujeres normopeso (p< 0.05). Por tanto, se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos grupos.
Conclusiones: iniciar la gestación en estado de obesidad afecta la expresión proteica de la enzima 11?-HSD2, lo cual comprometería el control de los niveles de cortisol que alcanza la circulación fetal.

Authors: Pereira K. R. A. , Barbosa A. R. S. S. , Macedo R. G. M. A. , Fernandes B. C. C.
Published: September 2023

Produced Water (PW) represents a problematic residue for the petroleum industry because it is generated in high amounts and it presents varied chemical composition can be toxic to organisms. The presence of inorganic salts, as calcium and magnesium, classify the PW in terms of its total hardness (TH) and this characteristic is an indication of the capacity to scale formation in pipelines and equipment. Thus, the adsorption treatment has been highlighted as an alternative method, mainly due to its low cost, high selectivity, and application of biodegradable adsorbents. In this context, the objective of this work is to evaluate the removal of Ca2+ and Mg2+ from PW using seriguela seeds (SS) as potential biosorbent. This work characterizes SS by chemical composition, surface groups, PZC (PZC) and SEM. The adsorption tests in batch resulted in levels of efficiency and TH adsorption capacity of 25 % and 8 mg g-1.

Currently, one of the most serious environmental problems society is facing is water contamination by oil spills. The use of sorbents from agricultural residues has been considered a very promising approach for the effective treatment of oil contaminated water. Therefore, this work investigates the use of biosorbents obtained from cupuaçu shell (Bio-CP) and sacha inchi shell (Bio-SI) in the oil removal process. The characterization of adsorbents was carried out by FTIR, XRF, and TGA. Adsorption tests were carried out in a finite bath using 0.1 g of biosorbent and diesel/Rio Negro water emulsions at 400 mg.L-1 in a contact time of 60 minutes. The results show that Bio-CP has a higher oil adsorption capacity (190.8 mg.g-1) compared to Bio-SI (174.93 mg.g-1), and better oil removal, 95.4%, if compared to 87.47% for Bio-SI. The results indicate that cupuaçu and sacha inchi shells can be effective in the production of biosorbents to remove diesel from contaminated water.

Authors: Vasishth A. , Kaushal A.
Published: September 2023

Khair tree of 5-6, 10-11, 15-16 and 20-21 years age classes were felled and diameter and height of the tree were measured. Sapwood percentage, heartwood percentage and katha and cutch yield were determined. Diameter, height and heartwood percentage of khair tree increased with increase in age whereas, sapwood percentage and ratio of sapwood to heartwood decreased with age. No heartwood formation was observed in 5-6 years old trees. Katha content was found maximum (6.31%) in 20-21 years old tree and minimum (2.22%) in 10-11 years old tree. Cutch yield did not vary significantly between 15-16 and 20-21 years age classes of khair trees.

Published: September 2023

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) is a plant pathogen of Brassica crops that causes black rot disease throughout the world. At present, 11 physiological races of Xcc (races 1-11) have been reported. The conventional method of using differential cultivars for Xcc race detection is not accurate and it is laborious and time-consuming. Therefore, the development of specific molecular markers has been used as a substitute tool because it offers an accurate and reliable result, particularly a quick diagnosis of Xcc races. Previously, our laboratory has successfully developed race-specific molecular markers for Xcc races 1-6. In this study, specific molecular markers to identify Xcc race 7 have been developed. In the course of study, whole genome sequences of several Xcc races, X. campestris pv. incanae, X. campestris pv. raphani, and X. campestris pv. vesicatoria were aligned to identify variable regions like sequence-characterized amplified regions and insertions and deletions specific to race 7. Primer pairs were designed targeting these regions and validated against 22 samples. The polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that three primer pairs specifically amplified the DNA fragment corresponding to race 7. The obtained finding clearly demonstrates the efficiency of the newly developed markers in accurately detecting Xcc race 7 among the other races. These results indicated that the newly developed marker can successfully and rapidly detect Xcc race 7 from other races. This study represents the first report on the successful development of specific molecular markers for Xcc race 7.

Published: September 2023

The orange economy which is also known as the creative economy has been an unrecognized industry though it has been a major contributor to economic growth and development. In this research an introspection has been done on four major economic factors such as: Choice of creativity with available resources, Marketing the good with unique strategies, Supply chain of good and services and tackling the demand fluctuations. These four factors rule the creative economy and hence the interlink between all these factors and its impact on the success of orange economy has been discussed in this research. The data has been collected from 30 small-owned creative business units which are spread across Karnataka. An interview schedule has been conducted with the creative business owners to understand the creative business units and its functionality. The structured interview has three layers which include (layer 1: questions related to creative business, layer 2: impact of Covid-19 pandemic on creative business units and layer 3: questions related to marketing, promotion and sales strategies used by creative business units. All the collected data has been exposed to a manual qualitative content coding to find new variables, new themes, cause, and effect and to construct a new conceptual model. The model has been suggested to the creative business units for active consideration and implementation. If the creative business units make use of the suggested marketing mix and strategies, they will be able to sustain themselves in the post-Covid-19 pandemic.

Published: September 2023

Aim: This study evaluated cytotoxicity and antioxidant gene expression of resin cements on human gingival fibroblasts (hGF). Materials and Method: RelyX UltimateTM(RXU), VariolinkTMII(VLII), and RelyXU200TM(RXU200) resin cements were incubated with culture medium for 24 h to obtain eluates. Then, the eluates were applied over hGF to assess cell viability at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h and antioxidant gene expression at 24 h. hGF cultures non-exposed to the eluates were used as Control. Data were submitted to ANOVA and Bonferroni tests (α≤0.05). Results: RXU and RXU200 reduced the number of viable cells in 24 h. Longer exposure to cement extracts caused cell death. Gene expression showed peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) induction by all resin cement types, and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) induction by RXU200 and VLII. Moreover, RXU200 induced not only PRDX1 and SOD1, but also glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1), catalase (CAT), and glutathione synthetase (GSS). Conclusions: All resin cements showed toxicity, and induced antioxidant genes in hGF. Antioxidant gene induction is at least partly associated with cytotoxicity of tested cements to oxidative stress experience.

Published: September 2023

Previous studies by us demonstrated that the consumption of thermally oxidized oil diet adversely affects body growth, lipid metabolism, bone mass and femur biomechanical competence. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a diet containing fried sunflower oil on the mandible of growing rats. Materials and Method: Male Wistar rats (21±1 day old) (n=21) were assigned at weaning to one of three diets for 8 weeks: a control diet (C), a diet containing sunflower oil (SFO) or a diet containing sunflower oil that had been repeatedly heated (SFOx); both SFO and SFOx were mixed with commercial rat chow at 13% (w/w). The consistency and viscosity of the 3 diets were similar. Zoometrics and food intake were recorded weekly. At wk=8, mandibular growth was assessed by measurements of anatomical points of cleaned bones, and mandible biomechanical competence was assessed to estimate the structural properties of the bone. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS v. 20.0. Results: Rats fed SFOx diet attained the lowest final body weight (P=0.0074), mandibular weight (P=0.0001) and mandibular \length (P=0.0002). Load bearing capacity (Wf;N), load of yielding (Wy;N) and stiffness (Wy/dy;N/mm) of the mandible were negatively affected by both sunflower oil diets (fresh and fried) (P=0.001; P=0.002; P=0.003, respectively) though SFOx induced the most significant reduction in Wy/dy (C:44.4(5.4) > SFO:36.1(2.1) > SFOx: 26.3(3.7) N/ mm; P=0.003). The deleterious effect of SFOx on mandibular growth was more accentuated on the posterior part of the bone (C:11.4(0.3)=SFO:11.2(0.2)>SFOx: 10.7(0.2) mm; p=0.0005); the anterior/ posterior ratio (C:1.25(0.02)=SFO:1.27(0.02)<SFOx:1.32(0.03); p=0.0001) indicated that SFOx induced mandibular deformation. Conclusion: Consumption of SFOx diet during growth could affect mandibular morphometric properties and biomechanical competence, in terms of bone stiffness.

Authors:   , Niederauer Christian
Published: September 2023

This thesis titled ``Development of Advanced Single-Molecule Fluorescence Microscopy Techniques and their Application for the Study of Protein-Protein Interactions in the Context of Immunological Signaling'' aims to make single-molecule imaging and the study of protein-protein interactions on membranes more accessible to the research community by providing new single-molecule fluorescence microscopy tools and techniques, and sharing them following an open-science approach.
Besides the design, assembly, and characterization of a custom single-molecule TIRF microscope specifically tailored for live-cell and single-molecule imaging applications, the author presents an experimental platform designed for single-molecule analysis of ligand-induced binding, which was employed to investigate purified interleukin-2 and -15 receptors reconstituted on supported lipid bilayers. Furthermore, the author presents a novel approach called DNA-PAINT single-particle tracking (DNA-PAINT-SPT), an innovative method designed to extend single-molecule trajectory lengths of membrane proteins in live cells and reconstitution experiments. In the thesis, this method is applied for extensive quantitative studies of the binding kinetics of a membrane-anchored protein homodimer.
Overall, the developments and applications presented in this thesis contribute to the advancement of single-molecule fluorescence microscopy techniques and open up new possibilities for investigating protein-protein interactions and immunological signaling in greater detail.

Recently, in-depth learning about computer vision and object classification tasks has surpassed other machine learning (ML) algorithms. This algorithm, alike similar ML algorithms, requires a dataset for training. In most real cases, developing an appropriate dataset is expensive and time-consuming. Also, in some situations, providing the dataset is unsafe or even impossible. In this paper, we proposed a novel framework for traffic sign recognition using synthetic data and deep learning. The main feature of the proposed method is its independence from the real-life dataset, which leads to high accuracy in the real test dataset. Creating one-by-one synthetic data is more labor-intensive and costlier than providing real data. To tackle the issue, the proposed framework uses a procedural method, which gives the possibility to develop countless high-quality data that are close enough to the real data. Due to its procedural nature, this framework can be easily edited and tuned.

Visualization of mathematical models of multidimensional objects implicitly defined as a surface F (X) = 0 is performed using two- and three-dimensional projections obtained by rotating and shifting coordinates. In the new coordinates, the model has the form y = f(x) where one of the variables is dependent (this is the direction of design), and the rest make up the vector of independent variables. A new model is often more convenient than the original one, but not all design directions adequately reflect its properties since it is possible to transfer projections of several points of the original surface into one (gluing). For some directions (directions of ambiguity), the projection may consist of points with several preimages (corresponds to the ambiguity of the function f). In this case, the projection is divided into the area of ambiguity and the area of unambiguity. For other directions (directions of uniqueness), the entire projection is the domain of uniqueness. The paper investigates the evolution of design directions and areas of ambiguity and unambiguity of projections of complex objects. A criterion for choosing the direction of unambiguity is proposed in which all points of the model remain different, i.e., multiplicity visually disappears (“hidden multiplicity”). Examples of applying the criterion for models of objects of various geometries are given.

We show that a software architecture based on machine learning and adaptive control advances makes self-tuningoptics possible. Commercially available optical telecom components may be combined with servo controllers todevelop a training and execution software module that can self-tune the laser cavity even when it is switchedoff. Mechanical and/or environmental disturbances may aid in frequency comb stabilization. An exhaustive searchof state space is used in the algorithm training stage to find the optimum performance areas for one or moreobjectively interesting functions. The technique of implementation stage starts by identifying the variable spaceusing a sparse sensing approach, then settles on a near-optimal solution and maintains it using the extremumseeking control protocol.

SÍNDROME COMPARTIMENTAL: TRATAMENTO DE FASCIOTOMIA COM COBERTURA DE HIDROFIBRA COM PRATA
Authors: Takano Sonia Maria Leopize
Published: September 2023

Este estudo teve como objetivo descrever a eficácia da hidrofibra com prata em fasciotomia no tratamento da Síndrome Compartimental (SC). De acordo com a literatura,a fasciotomia é a única modalidade terapêutica eficaz nos casos de SC, constituindo uma emergência ortopédica. Pode estar indicada com base nos critérios clínicos, se a pressão intracompartimental for 30 mmHg superior à pressão arterial diastólica, ou em ambos. As hidrofibras têm compostos biomateriais (carboximetilcelulose sódica e prata) com elevado teor de água, com propriedade retentora e umidificadora com amplo aspecto bacteriano, o que facilita a cicatrização e hidratação do tecido lesionado e o desbridamento autolítico. No entanto, é quase nulo estudos que apontam o uso da hidrofibra com prata na fasciotomia da SC. Assim, sugere-se que outros estudos possam ser desenvolvidos, visandoa ampliação do uso de curativos a base de hidrofibra com prata no processo de cicatrizaçãode feridas e fasciotomias.

O objetivo do trabalho foi estudar e avaliar a curva de crescimento de pêssegos “Aurora 1”, com base em dados de altura e diâmetro do fruto, avaliados ao longo do tempo por modelos não lineares duplo sigmoidais Brody, Gompertz e Logístico generalizados. Os dados utilizados no estudo foram extraídos de um experimento conduzido em 2005, no município de Vista Alegre do Alto, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Os parâmetros dos modelos foram estimados pelo método de mínimos quadrados, com base no algoritmo de Gauss-Newton executado por meio do software R. As pressuposições de normalidade, independência e homogeneidade dos resíduos foram averiguadas pelos testes de Shapiro-Wilk, Durbin-Watson e Breusch-Pagan, respectivamente. O ajuste dos modelos aos dados foi comparado considerando os valores obtidos para o critério de informação de Akaike corrigido (AICc), o desvio padrão residual (DPR), o índice de ajuste da assíntota (IA) e por medidas de não linearidade. Todos os modelos atenderam aos pressupostos de normalidade, independência e homogeneidade de variâncias e apresentaram ajuste adequado aos dados de altura e diâmetro do fruto, tendo em vista os valores do IA que foram próximos de um, bem como os baixos valores do DPR e das medidas de não linearidade.

Authors: ÇİLİNGİR ALTINER Emel , ÖNAL Halil
Published: September 2023

This study aimed to examine the diagrammatic representation skills and problem-solving performances of students according to their problem-solving representations. A cross-sectional survey design using quantitative methods was used in this study. The sample consisted of 31 second-grade and 41 third-grade students from a public primary school in Turkey. The Diagrammatic Representation Test and Mathematical Operations Test were used in this study. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistical analysis, the chi-square test, the independent samples t-test, discriminant analysis and logistic regression analysis. The findings indicated that while the preferred types of representations for solving verbal problems and problem-solving performance did not vary significantly based on grade level, scores obtained from the diagrammatic representation test exhibited significant differences. It was observed that students' problem-solving performance and diagrammatic skills could predict their preferred types of representations for solving verbal problems. Consequently, students who possess knowledge regarding effective representation preferences, as well as the ability to construct and utilize them, are more likely to generate appropriate and high-quality representations, leading to accurate problem-solving outcomes. This, in turn, enhances their performance in diagrammatic representation tasks.

Working memory is part of cognitive function relates to the learning process and associates human behavior with the nervous system. Stress can cause a disruption to the body's homeostasis system. Monday-Thursday fasting can be used to counter the negative effects of stress by inhibiting stress mediators pathways. This study aims to prove that monday-thursday fasting can maintain working memory function after getting acute stress.  This study was quasi experimental with post test only control group design in 124 medical  students of  Sebelas Maret University, aged 18-25 years, normal BMI, and not taking corticosteroid or psychopharmaceutical drugs. Samples were taken by purposive sampling method divided into 4 groups. The control did not get treatment, treatment group 1 (TG1) was given acute stress induction in the form of academic examinations, sing a song stress test (SSST), and arithmetic test, treatment group 2 (TG2) carried out fasting at least 3 months and was given acute stress induction. Dependent variables are Monday-thursday fasting and acute stressors in the form of nominal categorical data. Independent variables in the form of working memory measured using digit-span tests in the form of numerical-interval data. Measurements of working memory were carried out simultaneously in the tutorial room after each group received treatment. Working memory data were analyzed by MANOVA and Bonferroni tests (a = 0.05).
The highest working memory is found in TG2 followed by control, and TG1. The results of the MANOVA test showed significant differences between the four groups with p = 0,000. The Bonferroni test results show significant differences between the control-TG1 and TG1-TG2 with each p <0.05. Fasting on Mondays-Thursdays activity can maintain a working memory function when the body gets acute stress.

Gordon Chancellor (City Museum and Art Gallery, Priestgate, Peterborough PEl ILF) writes: *0n flicking through Geol. Curator 4(4) my eye caught the photograph of the *well travelled plesiosaur femur* - the reason being that only days before I had been wondering what had become of a Muraenosaurus humerus, missing from the Peterborough collections (catalogue no. R91). Could the *Australian* femur be connected with our humerus I wondered? I immediately wrote to Robert Jones and told him about R91, and he kindly returned a long reply, enclosing better photographs of the *Australian* bone, and confirming that it was a femur picked up by an Australian tourist at Loch Ness.

CING 1. The George Maw Collection. Ironbridge Gorge Museum
Authors: Roden Rosemary
Published: September 2023

The arrival at Ironbridge of the George Maw collection in the spring of 1985 was the first step in a major and exciting scheme to introduce geological and mining material into the Museum's collections and displays. With his own keen interest in geology, the Director, Stuart Smith, fully recognises the important role that the unique geology of the Shropshire Basin played in the industrial development of Ironbridge, birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. During 1985 he set up a Mining and Geology Group to advise the Museum on promoting these 'new'collections. Eight potential geological display areas at Ironbridge are now being investigated and valuable assistance in tracing collections associated with the areas has been given by Dr Hugh...

Utilizing binary coding to determine the impact of prior relations on free trade agreement benefits with China
Authors: Sun Bo Yang Michael
Published: September 2023

This study aims to uncover the impact of prior relationships (e.g., economic, militaristic) with other countries on China’s approach toward various free trade agreements (FTAs) and their efficacy. While previous literature has examined the efficiency of certain trade agreements on their own or comparatively, they fail to address the effect of prior strained, neutral, or positive relationships on their outcome. Through the linkage of countries’ prior relations and the efficacy of current existing trade agreements with binary coding, this study identifies the degree to which China values their international partners and enemies (specifically Peru, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Iceland, Australia, and Korea), and whether they purposefully take advantage of non-allied countries in FTAs. In examining GDP growth, political stability, mutual benefit before and after establishing FTAs from the 2010-2015 timeframe, and other indicators, this article determines the efficiency of these FTAs as well and draws parallels to China’s prior and current relations with these countries. The results positively correlate levels of past relations with China and partner countries’ benefit and may provide valuable insight into current FTAs in the making, such as the China-Norway FTA and China-Japan-Korea FTA. As China grows stronger, more research must be conducted into its FTA practices to ensure fairness in the international sphere.
