Effect of Corporate Social Responsibility on Financial Performance of Listed Companies in Nigeria
Authors: Umeano Okechukwu , Ibrahim Umar Abbas , Maitala Faiza
Published: September 2022

This study investigates the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on financial performance of companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX). It addresses the problem of whether engaging in CSR activities helps companies improve their financial performance. Employing an ex-post facto research design, adopting a quantitative approach that rests on a positivist philosophical world view, it applies panel data analysis on CSR expenditure, ROA, ROE, and Tobin’s Q, covering 124 companies from 2011 to 2020. Empirical results demonstrate that CSR had no significant influence on financial performance of listed companies when performance was measured as ROA and Tobin’s Q but had a significant positive effect when measured as ROE. The implication is that engaging in CSR activities may not always lead to improvement in financial performance. It therefore recommends that companies consider their motivations for engaging in CSR activities and temper such expenses if the motivation is improving financial performance.

Resultados: O acompanhamento da gestão e fiscalização dos gastos no setor público nas mais diversas áreas, com os sistemas de controle interno e externo atuando conjuntamente no direcionamento e normatização dos atos que possam gerar gastos e, ainda, na geração de informações para o próprio Estado, seus órgãos de controle e a sociedade, realizando a devida prestação de contas do que foi planejado e do que foi realizado. 
Contribuições: O Índice de Efetividade da Gestão Municipal (IEGM) busca representar a efetividade das políticas e atividades públicas desenvolvidas pelos gestores, com foco na análise da infraestrutura e dos processos de trabalho dos entes municipais e assim projetar e prever ações futuras de controle em áreas ou assuntos específicos. Deste modo ele se destina ao aprimoramento dos trabalhos de controle externo, serve de consulta permanente para o exercício do controle social e mostra-se relevante instrumento de orientação para as prioridades na gestão dos recursos públicos pelos gestores municipais.
“Todas las escritoras no somos todas las escritoras”: Hacia una crítica feminista de la autoría en el nuevo milenio
Authors: Amaro Lorena
Published: September 2022

El siguiente artículo aborda la actual situación de la literatura escrita por mujeres a partir de una discusión iniciada en Chile en agosto de 2020 a través de la revista Palabra pública, en que alrededor de quince escritoras intervinieron acerca de las autorías literarias. El texto busca recoger los diversos flancos que se abrieron en esta discusión y reconstruye las condiciones en que emerge la polémica, en el marco post-estallido social chileno de octubre de 2019. Entre los temas que aborda se encuentran el concepto de autoría (según lo han trabajado Aina Pérez, Meri Torras, Nattie Golubov, entre otras críticas y teóricas), la incidencia de las redes sociales y plataformas virtuales en la construcción de esas imágenes autoriales, las relaciones entre individuo y comunidad en el ejercicio escritural (con ello alude a propuestas como las de las autoras Cristina Rivera Garza, Sara Uribe, Verónica Gerber, entre otras), la necesidad de una aproximación interseccional al feminismo y de una reflexión sobre las condiciones políticas y éticas de la sororidad, las tensiones entre literatura, feminismo y academia y las posibilidades y limitaciones de la crítica literaria para dar cuenta de estas nuevas realidades.

Published: September 2022

This paper uses a Generalized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model to estimate the effect of uncertainty surrounding U.S. congressional elections on the level and volatility of U.S. stock market returns from 2000-2008. Uncertainty in these elections is measured using asset prices from the Iowa Electronic Market (IEM), online, real money, and online futures market where payoffs are based on real-world events including U.S. elections. This research model uses IEM futures contracts based on the control of the U.S. Senate and/or House of Representatives by either of the two major political parties in the United States. The election futures market prices are used to measure the “closeness” of upcoming election outcomes. The model results indicate that the volatility of U.S. stock market returns in the S&P 500 index is increased by uncertainty regarding which political party will control the U.S. Congress after the results of upcoming elections.

Published: September 2022

Security is literally defined by most of the mainstream writings as a state's capabilities to protect life and properties, as well as, defend its territorial integrity from either actual or imagined threats through the country's security apparatuses. Pervasive insecurity depresses the economy in many ways that this paper considers some of the salient consequences. This paper examines the causes, implications, and panaceas for insecurity on economic growth in northern Nigeria. Using a survey research design and a well-structured questionnaire, a sample size of 500 was drawn from a population of 800 elite, business persons, and farmers in northern Nigeria. The major findings show that economic growth and investment activities tend to be negatively affected during periods of insecurity. Also, the rate of employment opportunities reduced during periods of insecurity. This implies that insecurity not only threatens economic activities with a negative effect on the entire economy as conjectured by various economic theories. Thus, to continuously sustain northern Nigeria’s economic growth, the government needs to protect domestic and foreign investments by stepping up its national security. all must be done to bring under control the insecurity that currently affect northern parts of the country. Government should protect and advance Nigerian economic interests against threats.

The global prevalence of active headache disorders is estimated to be around 52%. The International Headache Society (IHS) defines chronic daily headache as, having 15 or more headache episodes per month consecutively for at least 3 months. Acupuncture is one of the most common alternative medicines used to treat chronic pain in patients. In Sri Lanka, there are no documented reports to evaluate the prevalence of headaches caused by perceived stress. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess the efficacy of acupuncture for chronic headaches caused by perceived stress in patients who visited the acupuncture clinic at KIU. Forty patients were selected using a convenient sampling method, and their stress levels were assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) was used to assess the intensity of the headache prior to treatment. Following six weeks of acupuncture treatment, post-intervention PSS and NPRS were assessed. A strong positive correlation (r2=0.929, p=0.001) was determined between the levels of stress and the severity of headache. Furthermore, a statistically significant (p=0.001) decrease in means scores of stress and pain was found following acupuncture treatments. Therefore, it was concluded that acupuncture is an effective treatment method for chronic headache due to perceived stress.

Éloge des anomalies
Authors: Piron Sylvain
Published: September 2022

Quels sont les phénomènes que nous devons tenir pour réels, en écartant ainsi les autres, renvoyés au magma des croyances ? Nous repartons ici du partage hérité des Lumières, et tout particulièrement de Kant, lequel hérite d’ailleurs d’un partage antérieur, propre à la théologie médiévale, sur ce qu’il convient d’appeler nature. Quoi qu’il en soit, cette démarcation prend l’eau de toutes parts et il n’est plus possible d’écarter une gamme ouverte de phénomènes, d’expériences singulières allant de cognitions hors normes, à distance par exemple, à diverses manifestations de l’invisible. Nous en appelons les sciences sociales à se saisir de ces pratiques multiples de l’esprit.
Habiter culturellement le monde : une contribution théologique à la crise environnementale
Authors: Kraft Alexis
Published: September 2022

L’entrée dans l’Anthropocène et le phénomène de la « grande accélération » nous poussent à repenser notre manière d’habiter le monde. Nous ne pouvons plus l’habiter en conquérants comme nous y a habitué la tradition occidentale depuis au moins le xvii e  siècle. Il nous faut donc chercher une autre voie et nous manquons de repères. Cet article propose de penser le nouveau paradigme de notre temps à l’aide des catégories que la philosophie et la théologie médiévales ont utilisées pour élaborer une représentation du monde qui, à l’inverse de la posture anthropocentrée des modernes, établit l’homme en responsable d’une Création qui le précède et pose ainsi les conditions de possibilités d’un usage droit des choses sensibles. Notre époque semble partie à la recherche d’une autre manière de faire communauté. S’il s’agit de repenser les liens qui unissent les humains entre eux, mais aussi avec leurs artefacts et avec les non-humains, c’est tout le concept de relation qui demande à être revisité. Or, penser la relation comme le fondement de la communauté est précisément l’objet de la théologie de la Création telle que la synthétise au xiii e  siècle un penseur comme Bonaventure. C’est la raison pour laquelle nous soutenons ici l’idée que la philosophie comme la théologie se doivent de renouer un dialogue qui leur permettrait de proposer des concepts pertinents pour faire face aux défis posés par la situation inédite d’un débordement de l’agir humain. Nous montrons finalement que la réflexion théologique éclaire les pratiques de ceux qui, à rebours d’une uniformisation négatrice de la diversité, travaillent à rendre notre habitat dans le monde plus propre à accueillir la vie et à la protéger.

En un millénaire, la monarchie est passée, en Angleterre, d’un régime absolutiste à un régime constitutionnel, et a trouvé une force nouvelle (en représentant l’unité de la nation et en se plaçant au-dessus de la mêlée partisane) à travers ses faiblesses (l’impossibilité d’exercer un jugement indépendant dans ses prises de décision). Élisabeth II se montre très assidue dans l’accomplissement de ses fonctions honorifiques et de ses devoirs constitutionnels : elle se tient informée des affaires de l’État, accorde des entretiens privés aux Premiers ministres et remplit les charges qui restent liées aux prérogatives de la Couronne sur avis des membres du gouvernement. Néanmoins, bien que tout soit fait pour protéger la Reine des controverses que suscite l’exercice de ses quelques pouvoirs, la crainte qu’elle puisse être amenée à prendre des décisions politiques pousse certains à envisager le transfert des prérogatives royales à d’autres institutions.
La Reine et ses Premiers ministres
Authors: Capet Antoine
Published: September 2022

Combien de ses quatorze premiers Premiers ministres ont-ils connu Élisabeth II enfant ? Combien sont-ils allés sur un hippodrome avec elle voir leurs chevaux se disputer la victoire ? Combien ont-ils eu l’honneur d’un grand dîner d’adieu en présence du couple royal à Downing Street la veille de leur départ ? Combien ont-ils eu des funérailles nationales sur décision de la Reine – qui de surcroît assistait à la cérémonie religieuse ? Se poser ces questions en ne trouvant qu’un seul comme réponse, c’est mesurer l’immense place que Churchill a occupée auprès d’Élisabeth II parmi les quatorze, au point d’établir avec elle des conventions non écrites que ses successeurs se sont en grande partie efforcés de perpétuer, les enfreignant fort rarement, et toujours à leurs dépens.
L’éducation constitutionnelle d’Élisabeth II et sa mise à l’épreuve
Authors: Marshall Catherine
Published: September 2022

Peu de travaux ont été consacrés à l’éducation constitutionnelle d’Élisabeth II. Il s’agit ainsi, dans cet article, de comprendre de quelle manière la Reine a été formée à son rôle dans un pays où la Constitution n’est pas codifiée et où l’apprentissage du pouvoir se fait de façon concrète. C’est en étudiant son éducation traditionnelle, la manière dont elle l’a appliquée et comment aussi elle l’a mise à l’épreuve au cours de soixante-dix ans de règne que se dessinent les traits de cette formation sans précédent d’un chef de l’État qui est avant tout chef de la nation. En contrepoint, le règne d’Élisabeth II constitue un exemple incontournable pour l’éducation des futurs monarques, qui, toutefois, mérite à son tour d’évoluer.
Élisabeth II, gouverneure suprême de l’Église d’Angleterre
Authors: Pini Joseph
Published: September 2022

Héritière et continuatrice, Élisabeth II, comme souveraine, est aussi gouverneure suprême de l’Église d’Angleterre et défenseure de la foi. Chargées d’histoire, ces titulatures se sont transformées au fil des ajustements constitutionnels, mais aussi de l’évolution des mœurs religieuses et sociales. L’attention particulière de la Reine et sa foi active ont contribué à les faire évoluer en leur conservant un sens attaché à sa personne.
Deux expériences enfantines de séparation familiale
Authors: von Bueltzingsloewen Isabelle
Published: September 2022

Cet article reconstitue et croise les itinéraires de deux enfants, Raymond et Claude, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. En dépit de sources lacunaires et grâce au recours à l’histoire orale, il restitue les circonstances dans lesquelles les deux garçons ont été séparés de leurs parents, d’abord temporairement puis définitivement après le bombardement de Lyon, le 26 mai 1944, dans lequel Raymond a perdu son père et Claude son père et sa mère. Il s’intéresse également à la façon dont chacun d’entre eux, après ce traumatisme, a poursuivi sa vie et développé un rapport très contrasté à cette histoire quasiment absente de la mémoire collective. Il montre enfin l’intérêt, pour l’historien qui s’intéresse aux « mémoires faibles », des enquêtes historiques menées à l’échelle de trajectoires singulières.
L’expérience du déplacement et de la guerre
Authors: Hobson Faure Laura
Published: September 2022

Cet article traite de la France en tant que refuge pour les enfants juifs non accompagnés d’Europe centrale à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Contrairement au Royaume-Uni, qui accueille 10 000 enfants juifs par le biais du Kindertransport , seuls 350 à 450 enfants arrivent en France. Cet article utilise les journaux intimes des enfants et les archives de diverses organisations pour interroger comment les enfants perçoivent et documentent leur déplacement et leur installation en France, pays bientôt en guerre, puis occupé par l’Allemagne nazie. Au travers d’un questionnement sur la manière dont ces évènements influencent et transforment la vie de ces enfants, nous suggérons ici que l’environnement politique changeant mène à des transformations profondes dans le quotidien de ces enfants, bien avant que leur existence ne se trouve menacée par les mesures de déportation mises en place par l’occupant nazi et le régime de Vichy. La plupart d’entre eux sont pris en charge dans des maisons d’enfants en région parisienne, où des éducateurs, orientés politiquement à gauche, établissent des républiques d’enfants. Mais le déclenchement de la guerre produit une série d’évènements dans ces maisons, provoquant un changement de méthodes pédagogiques ainsi que de nouvelles arrivées (et donc de nouveaux conflits). L’occupation nazie en France entraîne le déplacement des enfants dans la zone non occupée, leur dispersion dans de nouvelles maisons d’enfants et une reconfiguration de leurs réseaux. L’analyse proposée dans cet article des sources enfantines de l’époque et des conditions de production de celles-ci met un nouvel accent sur l’épistémologie des sources du Kindertransport , contribuant ainsi à élargir les discussions théoriques relatives aux témoignages d’enfants dans le domaine de l’histoire de la Shoah et de l’histoire de l’enfance.
L’usage de l’enfant dans les récits publicitaires de la reconstruction éducative
Authors: Ruchat Martine
Published: September 2022

Cet article évoque l’usage des enfants dans la publicité de la reconstruction éducative lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L’exemple de la communauté, Village d’enfants Pestalozzi, de Trogen en Suisse, fondé en 1946, est pris comme exemple. Les enfants victimes de la guerre deviennent des agents de la reconstruction éducative et de l’Europe grâce à la publicité faite, à travers la photographie et le cinéma, autour de leurs expériences et de leurs conditions de vie. Sans les cantonner au statut de victimes, les campagnes de publicité destinées à lever des fonds mettent en scène les enfants comme acteurs de leur propre histoire tandis qu’elles assignent les enfants des écoles suisses à un rôle d’agents de promotion publicitaire en les faisant participer à des ventes au bénéfice des premiers, les uns et les autres œuvrant au final de concert à mettre en avant la même idée d’une Suisse fédéraliste, modèle pour l’Europe au sortir de la guerre, dont cette communauté d’enfants solidaire et unie est censée être une incarnation en miniature.
Enfants perdus ou isolés pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale
Authors: Chartain Lucile , Szollosi Vanessa
Published: September 2022

Les sources relatives au rapatriement d’enfants en France depuis l’Allemagne, à l’issue de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, sont parfois difficiles à identifier en raison de leur dispersion dans les fonds d’archives des différents acteurs du processus. Aux Archives nationales, trois fonds méritent un éclairage particulier : les dossiers du bureau de l’enfance du ministère de la Santé et de la Population, le fonds de l’Organisation internationale des réfugiés (OIR) et les collections de la copie numérique des archives du Service international de recherches (SIR). La présentation de ces trois fonds précise l’historique de leur constitution et de leur conservation, leur mode d’organisation et le type de documents qu’ils renferment, ainsi que les éventuelles spécificités de chacun d’eux. Un exemple de reconstitution d’un parcours d’enfant illustre enfin l’intérêt de leur étude croisée.
Du droit naturel aux droits de l’humanité. La norme immanente du droit politique et la résistance à l’injustice chez Rousseau
Authors: Lenne-Cornuez Johanna
Published: September 2022

Quoique Rousseau substitue la norme du droit politique à celle du droit naturel, sa position n’est assimilable ni au positivisme ni à un pur procéduralisme. La norme de justice immanente du contrat social produit une norme externe à tout ordre établi, permettant d’évaluer la justice des sociétés. Si le consentement n’est légitime qu’à la condition d’une réciprocité réelle, la limite du consentement se situe là où ce qui est perdu ne peut pas être compensé ni restitué sous une autre forme. Les droits de l’humanité peuvent alors être définis comme les droits inaliénables de tout individu : le droit à la vie et à la jouissance d’une égale liberté. Cette contribution cherchera à définir le droit de résistance qui peut être conçu à partir des droits de l’humanité, ainsi que les attitudes contestatrices de l’ordre établi que Rousseau envisage.
La métalogique de Jankélévitch. Néant, vie, pensée
Authors: Berland Frédéric
Published: September 2022

L’importance des sources néoplatoniciennes de la philosophie première de Jankélévitch s’inscrit dans la lignée de l’enseignement de Bréhier qui le met sur la voie d’une « négation libératrice ». La fidélité à Bergson et la lecture de Schelling ne pouvaient néanmoins que reconduire la tentative de dépassement de la logique qui en résulte à une forme d’expérience pure qui recherche la plénitude dans une adéquation à la vie. Ainsi, « l’évanouissante entrevision » à laquelle Jankélévitch nous condamne à tendre sans jamais l’atteindre, rivés que nous sommes à notre finitude, marque-t‑elle tout autant une forme de distance vis-à-vis de la philosophie de Plotin. La compréhension de cet héritage critique pourra ainsi nous permettre de mieux cerner ce qui sépare le vitalisme de Jankélévitch de l’idéalisme néoplatonicien, c’est-à-dire ce qui demeure incompatible entre la logique de la vie et la dialectique de la pensée.
La morale et le Dieu sans être
Authors: Gutkin-Guinfolleau Pierre-Alban
Published: September 2022

Cet article propose une interprétation de la métaphysique de Jankélévitch telle qu’elle se présente dans Philosophie première (1953). L’élaboration d’une déontologie métaphysique conduit Jankélévitch, par-delà le destin onto-théologique des métaphysiques classiques, à déployer une théologie « désontologisée », c’est-à-dire un discours sur Dieu dépouillé de l’être et de l’existence. Une telle détermination théologique de la métaphysique met alors nécessairement le métaphysicien à l’épreuve de l’expression de ce qui n’existe pas et qui pourtant fait exister. Ce que nous comprenons ainsi comme un échec du discours métaphysique sur son objet théologique, dans l’ordre de la métaphysique, possède toutefois une fonction dans l’œuvre de Jankélévitch : fournir son modèle à l’action morale humaine. Dans un double mouvement, cette lecture achemine donc la métaphysique vers la théologie, avant de redéployer la morale depuis cette théologie.
Jankélévitch et la musique, approche stylistique. Face au mystère, philosopher more poetico
Authors: Fiat Éric
Published: September 2022

À la fois philosophe et pianiste, ayant beaucoup écrit sur la musique, Jankélévitch longtemps répugna à penser les rapports entre ses deux dilections. Lorsqu’il le fit, ce fut en termes bergsoniens : une certaine impuissance du logos à saisir l’essentiel est la chance du melos  ; la pensée du temps comme durée le fait préférer la rhapsodie à la sonate. Mais Jankélévitch ne fit pas qu’écrire sur la musique : il parla, écrivit musicalement. Une approche stylistique tentera de montrer que c’est parce qu’il fut un philosophe du mystère et un moraliste de l’aporie qu’il lui fut impossible de philosopher autrement que more poetico.
