A New Explanation for Changes in China's Labor Income Share: Capital Heterogeneity
Authors: Chen Chen
Published: September 2024

In this paper, a two-sector general equilibrium model with Putty-Clay technology is constructed, and the characteristics of capital heterogeneity are depicted in the model in the form of capital goods productivity variance. Through the capital selection mechanism, the impact of capital heterogeneity on labor income share is explored. It is found that the inverted U-trend of relative capital heterogeneity in capital-intensive industries is the cause. Second, the mechanism of capital heterogeneity affecting labor income share lies in the capital goods selection mechanism. With the increase of capital heterogeneity, the investment uncertainty faced by enterprises is strengthened. When choosing capital goods, enterprises will diversify investment and reduce capital intensity. After capital goods are put into production, firms will use high-productivity capital goods and shut down low-productivity capital goods, leading to a decline in capital utilization, the increase in total factor productivity, and the increase in output. Third, in the capital-intensive sector, the increase of capital heterogeneity will reduce, while in the labor-intensive sector, the opposite effect is presented. The new characteristics of Chinese capital and the change of labor income share, and has important policy reference significance for promoting.

Authors: Yu Wenyue
Published: September 2024

In corporate governance, the separation of ownership and management rights has always been a difficult problem for enterprises and academic circles. The introduction of equity incentive plan has alleviated the separation of the two rights to a certain extent. Ordinary OLS regression is difficult to overcome the influence of endogeneity. Therefore, the companies selected in this paper are Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies in China, and their financial data from 2010 to 2022 are selected for research, uses propensity score matching method to divide the samples into incentive group and control group, and conducts co-support test and balance test on the samples, so as to study the relationship between equity incentive and enterprise performance. Linear regression method is used to analyze the effect of government subsidies on firm performance. It is found that the implementation of equity incentive can improve the performance level of enterprises. Through the role of government subsidies, the influence of equity incentive on the performance level of enterprises will be enhanced.

Study on the Impact of Financial Technology Development on the Diversity of Urban Household Financial Asset Allocation-based on CHFS Micro-Data
Authors: Zhang Liping
Published: September 2024

This paper aims to explore the impact of financial technology development on the diversity of urban households' financial asset allocation. With the rapid development of financial technology, the structure of financial markets and household financial behavior have undergone profound changes. This paper systematically studies the mechanism of fintech in household financial asset allocation through theoretical analysis and the micro-data of China Household Finance Survey (CHFS). First of all, this paper analyses the definition of financial technology, its development history, and the impact of financial technology on the financial market. Secondly, from the perspective of household financial asset allocation, this paper discusses how fintech affects households' financial decisions through information acquisition, transaction costs, risk management and other ways. The research finds that the development of fintech significantly improves the efficiency of households in obtaining financial information, reduces transaction costs, enhances risk management capabilities, and thus promotes the diversity of household financial asset allocation. In addition, this paper also analyzes the differences in financial asset allocation of households with different income levels, educational backgrounds and risk preferences under the influence of fintech. Finally, this paper puts forward policy recommendations, and believes that the popularization and application of financial technology should be further promoted, family financial literacy should be improved, and the financial market environment should be optimized to promote the diversification and rationalization of family financial asset allocation. The research in this paper provides a new perspective for understanding the impact of fintech on household financial behavior, and provides a useful reference for policy makers.
Civil szervezetek Magyarországon az élelmiszer-pazarlás ellen
Authors: Huszka Péter , Keller Veronika
Published: September 2024

Az élelmiszer-pazarlás korunk egyik fontos problémája különösen az ENSZ (Egyesült Nemzetek Szervezete) fenntartható fejlődési célok szempontjából. Az élelmiszer-pazarlás elleni küzdelemben számos civil szervezet is részt vesz, kezdeményezéseket hozva létre az élelmiszer túltermelésének és pazarlásának csökkentése érdekében. A kutatás célja az élelmiszer-pazarlás csökkentését segítő civil szervezetek bemutatása, illetve azok ismertségének, szükségszerűségének, fogyasztók általi megítélésének feltárása a magyar fiatal lakosság körében. A kutatási kérdések megválaszolásához szekunder adatgyűjtést, valamint egy feltáró jellegű kvantitatív kutatást végeztünk. A civil szervezetek közül a bevásárló közösségek, a Magyar Élelmiszerban Egyesület, a Maradék Nélkül program, fő célkitűzései és eredményei kerülnek bemutatásra. 2023 decemberében online kérdőíves megkérdezést végeztünk, összességében 231 főt sikerült elérnünk, elsősorban fiatalokat. Az eredmények egy rövid esettanulmány keretében kerülnek bemutatásra. Az élelmiszermentő szervezetek kevésbé ismertek a fogyasztók körében, így valószínűleg csekély szerepük van az élelmiszer-pazarlás csökkentésében a mindennapi életben. A technológia, például az "élelmiszermentő" alkalmazások fejlesztése tovább erősödhet a jövőben, és különösen a fiatal generáció számára akár mindennapi eszközzé válhatnak az élelmiszerbeszerzés során. A civil szervezetek szerepe továbbra is jelentős lesz a tudatosság növelésével és az élelmiszer-pazarlás csökkentését célzó gyakorlatok összegyűjtésével,ugyanakkor számukra az intenzívebb marketingmunka javasolt.
Corporate Social Responsibility in the EU Regulation
Authors: Reisinger Adrienn
Published: September 2024

The paper aims to introduce the milestones in the EU regulation on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in general with a special focus on small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). EU regulation is introduced based on EU documents and international and Hungarian literature. The debate about CSR began in the 1990s in Europe and after the turn of the millennium several papers, guidelines, and directives attempt to provide a common approach about it. However, CSR relates mainly to big companies still today, smallerfirms can also implement CSR. Despite that research on SMEs’ CSR started after 2000, EU documents already highlighted from the beginning of the 2000s the importance of smaller companies as well, and in 2002 the European Commission drew up a strategy for SMEs. The paper illustrates not only the papers and SMEs’ role but also provides ideas about the sense of the EU regulation on CSR and collects the reasons why couldit be beneficial to have a debate and approach about CSR at the EU level. The paper also presents some information about how the SMEs’ CSR features comply with interview research among SMEs in Győr, Hungary in 2021–2022. It is possible to believe that learning the European approach may contribute to thinking in a more integrated way about how to behave socially responsibly and how to manage social impact.

Published: September 2024

Under the influence of the European Union (EU), the legal framework of civil society in Turkey has undergone significant changes. However, have the normative framework and policy demands of the EU been able to play a transformative role in shaping the legal organization of civil society in Turkey? In this study, we aimed to examine the transformative role of the EU in shaping the legal structure of civil society in Turkey. In the study, the Turkey Progress Reports published by the EU since 2005 were systematically examined, and the legal development of civil society was analyzed. The transformative role of the EU in shaping the legal structure of civil society in Turkey is of critical importance for democratization and strengthening the rule of law in the country. Efforts to align with EU standards have increased the legal recognition and protection of civil society in Turkey. Additionally, the financial and technical support provided by the EU has encouraged legal reforms aimed at enhancing the capacity of civil society organizations in Turkey. Nevertheless, further steps are necessary to fully strengthen and protect the legal structure of civil society.
THE IMPACT OF RECENT LEASING ACTIVITY ON THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA
Authors: SHABANI Faton
Published: September 2024

Leasing is an activity that refers to movable and immovable goods, in which the lessee determines the subject of leasing that is purchased or produced by the lessor and is given to the lessee for use for an agreed period, in exchange for payment of compensation for the use of the subject of leasing, based on the leasing agreement concluded between the provider and the lessee, according to the conditions specified in it. Leasing is an alternative way of financing where it is necessary to emphasize the use of the leased goods, and not the ownership over them (use but not possess), i.e. the philosophy of leasing arises from the idea of profitable use of an investment goods followed by a flexible method of payment that allows investment without the additional engagement of core capital, successful operation and maximum utilization of funds. In addition to the primary financing function that the leasing activity has for the lessee, if he uses the leased goods for business purposes, leasing in that case can also have an investment function. Regulated by the Law on Leasing, leasing activity in the Republic of North Macedonia has a fairly short lifespan, focusing exclusively on financial leasing. Through analysis, synthesis, and statistics, the authors processed the official data of the Ministry of Finance presented by the National Bank in the period mainly of the last decade, which offers a clear picture of the movements of the use of leasing in the country.
LOCAL FINANCES IN WESTERN BALKAN COUNTRIES: FOCUS ON OWN -SOURCE REVENUES AND CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
Authors: ELEZI Shiret , BOSHKOSKA KLISAROSK Milena , MIDOVSKA PETKOSKA Marija
Published: September 2024

This study examines the fiscal dynamics of local governments’ finances in the Western Balkan countries, focusing on their own source revenues and capital investments, made from the municipalities. While spending for capital investment has increased in nominal terms, the share of municipal spending on capital investments has been downwardly unstable over the past 16 years. In addition to central government transfers, several significant factors contribute to the determination of municipal own-source revenues, including central and local public investment, current expenditures, and municipal development index. The study reveals that capital investment depends on its own source revenues or capital transfers from the central government, where local capital expenditure emerges as a robust determinant, exerting a stronger influence on municipal fiscal autonomy compared to central government investments. This finding underscores the importance of local capital expenditure in enhancing fiscal independence at the local level. This research emphasizes the need for a comprehensive understanding of investment allocation, development indicators, and promoting local revenue mobilization. The findings suggest that enhancing local fiscal autonomy requires a shift in policy focus towards stimulating local capital expenditure and prioritizing human development. By identifying the factors that influence municipal own-source revenues, this study provides valuable insights for local management in strengthening the financial capacities of local governments in the Western Balkan countries.

Published: September 2024

Objetivo: Investigou-se os impactos do treinamento com restrição de fluxo sanguíneo (BFR-TR) em pacientes diagnosticados com osteoartrite de joelho (OAJ). Métodos: A revisão sistemática foi conduzida durante o período de janeiro a agosto de 2023, utilizando os bancos de dados PubMED, PEDro, Web of Science e Scielo, optou-se por priorizar essas bases devido à sua relevância científica preponderante. Entre as 297 referências iniciais, 05 estudos foram criteriosamente incluídos após uma avaliação detalhada. Resultados: Os resultados apontam que o BFR-TR demonstrou potencial para aliviar a dor e melhorar a funcionalidade física. No entanto, não se observou um impacto significativo na qualidade de vida percebida. A qualidade metodológica dos estudos variou, destacando-se a excelência em pesquisas específicas. Observou-se que a duração do protocolo desempenha um papel relevante nos resultados, especialmente no que diz respeito ao aumento da força muscular. Entre as limitações, merecem destaque a escassez de ensaios clínicos e as disparidades na mensuração da pressão de oclusão parcial (POV). Conclusão: Embora o Treinamento de Restrição de Fluxo Sanguíneo revele promissora eficácia como terapia para OAJ, há a necessidade premente de condução de mais pesquisas para robustecer a base de evidências e compreender integralmente a interconexão entre a oclusão vascular e a condição clínica em questão. Este estudo fornece uma base sólida, mas a complexidade da osteoartrite de joelho demanda investigações continuadas para guiar abordagens terapêuticas eficazes e fundamentadas. Palavras-chave: Osteoartrite de joelho; treinamento com restrição de fluxo sanguíneo; reabilitação; exercício.

Objective: This study aimed to review the effects of different dietary patterns on the human GM. Methods: This review included observational and clinical studies published in PubMed/MEDLINE between 2019 and 2023. Results: Initially, 1,148 articles were identified and 12 articles were included. Studies were conducted in various countries, predominantly in the USA (n=3), and most evaluated the effects of the Mediterranean diet (n=3) and vegetarian/vegan diet (n=3). No included study evaluated the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet. The Western diet showed negative effects on the GM, characterized by an increase in Firmicutes bacteria and a reduction in bacterial diversity and richness. These effects are associated with cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases. The low carb diet showed conflicting results among studies. The ketogenic diet appears to be associated with a decrease in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, especially when whey protein or plant proteins are the main protein sources in the diet. Mediterranean and vegetarian/vegan diets had beneficial effects on the GM, mainly associated with high fiber intake from fruits, vegetables, and legumes, leading to a reduction in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, an increase in Akkermansia bacteria, and higher production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Conclusion: Dietary pattern exerts distinct effects on the GM, influencing bacterial richness and diversity differently. Further studies are recommended in this area, including investigation of the DASH diet’s impact on the GM. Keywords: Gastrointestinal microbiome; dietary patterns.
Ozu in 2.5D

“Ozu’s films are comparable to deep, clear water, perfectly still.” (Maurice Pinguet). The simplicity of Ozu’s images is perfectly apparent. It is in the transparency of these lines that the true depth of his films is played out: Everything happens as if we were dealing with the most natural, most common world, and yet from the outset we notice a lapse—the characters move in an artificial way, their expression is always missing, they seem to float, between presence and absence. This pan.able is an invitation to meditate at the borders between visual arts and the psychology of perception. To think this in-between, between the 2D of the image and the 3D of reality, the 2.5D can be understood both as a new approach to perspective construction and as a specific relationship to the world. In the sense of perspective, the Ozuian image does not seem to be constructed linearly according to the rules of the vanishing point that unify a homogeneous and structured space. Rather, it is constructed according to a principle of superimposed layers, like cartoons. The pan.able shows the passage from an image as a section of the real to an image as a recomposition of the real, from a conception of unified space to a conception of stratified space. Metaphorically, this in-between time of 2.5D reveals that behind the purity and serenity of Ozu’s images a form of drama is at play: the character haunts the world more than he inhabits it. He is in the lining. He is no longer a singular character in a fiction, but a prototype, an idea: There Was a Father, in reference to the title of another Ozu film. The procedure of the pan.able enables us to appreciate this disconnect of the real space and its substitution by an artificial and stratified image. It gives the impression of both looking at a fun flip book and facing a ghost, escaped from its body, lost in its own reverie. Between an amused tenderness and a sensory reflexivity, this is precisely where Ozu’s films take place, between the surface and the depth, between presence and absence, between the singular and the typical—in this in-between space of the 2.5D.

Published: September 2024

Background: Hernia repair surgery is the most frequently performed surgical operation across the world and pain management after the surgery is important to avoid chronic pain and improve the quality of life.
Objectives: to assess the effectiveness of acetaminophen monotherapy against combination analgesic regimens (acetaminophen plus pethidine or parecoxib) in managing postoperative pain in individuals having hernia repair surgery.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on patients who were 18-65 years old and had elective hernia repair surgery. Participants were assigned to three groups: Group A was given IV acetaminophen along with IM pethidine, Group B was given IV acetaminophen with IV parecoxib and Group C was given IV acetaminophen alone. Pain was evaluated by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at various time intervals within 24 hours following surgery. Data were analysed employing repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression analysis.
Results: The research had a total of 259 patients. In comparison to Group C, patients in Groups A and B consistently reported far lower pain scores. Group C had the greatest mean pain score (7.91) at 45 minutes post-surgery, whereas Groups A and B demonstrated lower ratings (5.99 and 6.87). Pethidine and parecoxib when paired with acetaminophen were equally effective, as evidenced by the lack of a significant difference between Groups A and B. If acetaminophen monotherapy was used, combination treatment produced better pain relief.
Conclusion: Following hernia repair surgery, combination analgesic regimens comprising acetaminophen and either pethidine or parecoxib are more successful at reducing postoperative pain than acetaminophen monotherapy. As a normal procedure, multimodal analgesia should be taken into account to reduce the incidence of chronic pain and enhance patient recovery.

Published: September 2024

Background: Surgery is usually necessary to treat gallstones, or cholelithiasis. Because laparoscopic cholecystectomy is less intrusive than open cholecystectomy, it is now the treatment of choice. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the postoperative results of open and laparoscopic cholecystectomies with regard to duration of hospital stay, complication rates, and amount of discomfort experienced during the procedure. Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted on one hundred patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis who were to undergo elective cholecystectomy. Patients were randomized into two groups: Among the patients, 50 patients were operated for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and 50 for Open Cholecystectomy. The data on the postoperative results of the operation, including the time spent during the operation, as well as the time spent on pain, the length of stay in the hospital, and complications were collected and compared using statistical methods with the chosen level of significance equals to p ≤0.05. Results: The mean operative time of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy was less than Open Cholecystectomy (48. 5 ± 12. 4 vs. 68. 5 ± 15. 3 minutes; p≤0.05). The overall postoperative pain was less in patients who undertook Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy with the mean pain period of (18. 3 ± 5.2) hours compared with 30. 7 ± 7. For Open Cholecystectomy patients the time taken was 1 hours. The length of the hospital stay was also lesser in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy group which was (1.8 ± 1.2) days compared to Open Cholecystectomy group of (4.8 ± 1.5) days. Also, the Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy group had less complication rate at 12% compared to the Open Cholecystectomy at 38% with p ≤0.05 Conclusion: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is shown to be more beneficial in terms of postoperative results than Open Cholecystectomy in terms of the operating time, pain, hospital stay, and complications. Thus, these results shows Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy as the most appropriate surgical management for patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis; however, Open Cholecystectomy will still be required for cases that are not suitable for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
