Bureau of Student Advisory Center (BSAC) Universitas Pembangunan Panca Budi is a center for career development and character building for students. In this case, a soft skill seminar is conducted to find the best candidate employees in the field of recruitment offered based on the criteria of student soft skill training. Determining the level of soft skill competences of students using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE). For decision support systems using the AHP and PROMETHEE methods in determining the level of soft skill competencies, in order to obtain prospective employees who have the required soft skill competency level. Data collection was carried out by conducting research. The data is taken from the seminar results with 100 participants. The data that has been collected, processed and analyzed before being used as input and output as a basis for learning or training using the AHP and Promethee methods. Based on the calculations of the two methods, namely the AHP and Promethee methods, there are differences in calculations. In other words, because Promethee does not support the determination of weights and the hierarchy of criteria and does not have the assurance of consistency when determining weights like AHP. So that the program execution has a different time in the results, in the AHP method, program execution until the final result is obtained is better than the Promethee method. AHP has advantages in determining weights and criteria hierarchy, while Promethee has advantages in the alternative ranking process using different preference and weight functions.

Published: September 2020

Tribolium castaneum is a major pest in wheat flour but can attack other processed foodstuffs. Control of these pests can be done in various ways, one of them by biological control using entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana. This study aims to determine the infectivity of B. bassiana entomopathogenic fungus against T. castaneum populations in the laboratory. The experiment was completed with random preparations, each preparation was repeated three times. Imago T. castaneum was sprayed with a conidia suspension of B. bassiana at a density of 106 and 107 conidia/mL on three different storage media namely PDA, rice, and corn media. Mortality was calculated based on the percentage of imago that died of B. bassiana fungi. One week observation showed the mortality of T. castaneum after the application of B. bassiana fungus was 55.33% with 107 conidia/mL in corn media. The highest spore density was found in rice media with an average of 10.53 x 106 conidia/mL. Meanwhile, the value of the results showed LC50 of 2.11 x 107 conidia/mL and the fastest LT50 in corn media was 5.31 days
Da cidade inovadora à cidade inteligente: uma análise de construções discursivas na cidade de Curitiba (PR)
Authors: Maynardes Dallabona Fariniuk Tharsila
Published: September 2020

Essa pesquisa objetiva avaliar o fenômeno das smart cities na cidade de Curitiba ante suas construções discursivas, no que tange às transformações urbanas verificáveis e ao processo de gestão urbana. Busca-se sintetizar o processo de desenvolvimento tecnológico, caracterizando a percepção de atores e avaliando a amplitude interpretativa do conceito. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa tem base em levantamento bibliográfico-documental e entrevistas realizadas com atores relevantes para a gestão municipal. Os resultados apontam que não há unanimidade no entendimento do conceito de smart city, e que o fenômeno na cidade se traduz em um processo dicotômico entre um cenário inovador e um cenário obsoleto, em que questões como mobilidade e gestão ambiental passam de características internacionalmente reconhecidas a demandas emergenciais de saturação de sistemas. Discutiu-se que essas são questões pertinentes a muitas localidades, reforçando que o entendimento sobre a dinâmica entre setores deve ser anterior à discussão sobre o conceito de inteligência urbana.

Objective

The APS ACTION Registry studies long-term outcomes in persistently antiphospholipid antibody (aPL)-positive patients. Our primary objective was to determine whether clinically meaningful aPL profiles at baseline remain stable over time. Our secondary objectives were to determine (1) whether baseline characteristics differ between patients with stable and unstable aPL profiles, and (2) predictors of unstable aPL profiles over time.

Methods

A clinically meaningful aPL profile was defined as positive lupus anticoagulant (LAC) test and/or anticardiolipin (aCL)/anti-β2glycoprotein-I (anti–β2-GPI) IgG/M ≥ 40 U. Stable aPL profile was defined as a clinically meaningful aPL profile in at least two-thirds of follow-up measurements. Generalized linear mixed models with logit link were used for primary objective analysis.

Results

Of 472 patients with clinically meaningful aPL profile at baseline (median follow-up 5.1 yrs), 366/472 (78%) patients had stable aPL profiles over time, 54 (11%) unstable, and 52 (11%) inconclusive. Time did not significantly affect odds of maintaining a clinically meaningful aPL profile at follow-up in univariate (P= 0.906) and multivariable analysis (P= 0.790). Baseline triple aPL positivity decreased (OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.10–0.64,P= 0.004) and isolated LAC test positivity increased (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.53–7.13,P= 0.002) the odds of an unstable aPL profile over time.

Conclusion

Approximately 80% of our international cohort patients with clinically meaningful aPL profiles at baseline remain stable at a median follow-up of 5 years; triple aPL-positivity increase the odds of a stable aPL profile. These results will guide future validation studies of stored blood samples through APS ACTION Core Laboratories.
Un concept karstique de la sociologie : l’amour comme socialité
Authors: Cataldi Silvia
Published: September 2020

L’essai analyse l’amour comme socialité dans l’histoire des sciences sociales, mettant en évidence sa dimension publique. Alors que la première partie est consacrée aux classiques de la sociologie, la deuxième partie se concentre sur les pensées des érudits contemporains et se termine par une proposition critique basée sur la surabounding et la priorité du bénéfice des autres. L’article montre comment l’amour est un ruisseau d’eau karstique qui depuis des décennies a traversé la réflexion sociologique, parfois coulant sous terre, mais souvent à la surface comme élément fondamental dans la vie sociale publique.
L’amour mondial / la haine nationale : le phénomène de la pop coréenne en Turquie
Authors: Rappas Ipek A. Celik
Published: September 2020

Cet article explore l’amour et le fandom d’un phénomène mondial de culture populaire dans un contexte national, la musique pop coréenne (la « K-pop ») et son immense succès auprès de la jeunesse turque. Récemment, le fandom de la K-pop – qui s’étend à l’amour des séries télé, de la langue et de la culture coréennes – a été décrit dans les médias turcs conservateurs comme une tendance « alarmante » qui ne cesse de gagner en popularité parmi les adolescents. Cet article examine la façon dont les fans turcs de K-pop expriment leur investissement émotionnel et leur amour pour cette musique sur les réseaux sociaux, principalement sur Twitter et YouTube. Les questions que pose cet article sont : Comment se forment les connexions émotionnelles à travers la culture populaire dans l’axe Sud-Sud ? Ces liens mondialisés supplantent-ils les sentiments nationaux ? Quelle est la langue utilisée afin de communiquer son amour pour un phénomène planétaire ? Quelles tensions génère l’amour pour un produit mondial dans un contexte de montée de la xénophobie et du militarisme ?
TU QUOQUE, FILI L’accession imprévue du « fils à papa » à la présidence de l’entreprise familiale et la construction du rôle de leader
Authors: Ove Charles
Published: September 2020

Cet article retrace les circonstances qui amènent un fils, universitaire, éloigné des affaires familiales, à succéder à son père à la tête d’un grand groupe d’expertise comptable. Au travers d’une approche auto-ethnographique, il s’agit de repérer les fonctions symboliques des rituels et des rôles institutionnels. Ces rôles qu’endosse le nouveau « leader » pour construire sa légitimité mettent en évidence les mutations profondes des modes de gouvernance : « organisation » rationnelle et technique dans sa version moderne, dominée par la figure du père, l’entreprise postmoderne apparaît plus organique , fraternelle, marquée par le retour des affects et du besoin d’émotions collectives, ce que Durkheim appelait la « transcendance sociale ».

In this paper, we show that a weak solution $ (\mathbf{u},\mathbf{w},\mathbf{b})(\cdot,t) $ of the magneto-micropolar equations, defined in $ [0,T) $, which satisfies $ \nabla u_3, \nabla_{h} \mathbf{w}, \nabla_{h} \mathbf{b} $ $ \in L^{\frac{32}{7}}(0,T; $ $ L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)) $ or $ \partial_3 u_3, \partial_3 \mathbf{w}, \partial_3 \mathbf{b} \in L^{\infty}(0,T;L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)) $, is regular in $ \mathbb{R}^3\times(0,T) $ and can be extended as a $ C^\infty $ solution beyond $ T $.
Threshold dynamics of stochastic models with time delays: A case study for Yunnan, China
Authors: Li Zhimin , Zhang Tailei , Li Xiuqing
Published: September 2020

In this paper, we provide an effective method for estimating the thresholds of the stochastic models with time delays by using of the nonnegative semimartingale convergence theorem. Firstly, we establish the stochastic delay differential equation models for two diseases, and obtain two thresholds of two diseases and the sufficient conditions for the persistence and extinction of two diseases. Then, numerical simulations for co-infection of HIV/AIDS and Gonorrhea in Yunnan Province, China, are carried out. Finally, we discuss some biological implications and focus on the impact of some key model parameters. One of the most interesting findings is that the stochastic fluctuation and time delays introduced into the deterministic models can suppress the outbreak of the diseases, which can provide some useful control strategies to regulate the dynamics of the diseases, and the numerical simulations verify this phenomenon.
Global conservative solutions for a modified periodic coupled Camassa-Holm system
Authors: Chen Rong , Pan Shihang , Zhang Baoshuai
Published: September 2020

In present paper, we deal with the behavior of a solution beyond the occurrence of wave breaking for a modified periodic Coupled Camassa-Holm system. By introducing a new set of independent and dependent variables, which resolve all singularities due to possible wave breaking, this evolution system is rewritten as a closed semilinear system. The local existence of the semilinear system is obtained as fixed points of a contractive transformation. Moreover, this formulation allows us to continue the solution after wave breaking, and gives a global conservative solution where the energy is conserved for almost all times. Returning to the original variables. We finally obtain a semigroup of global conservative solutions, which depend continuously on the initial data. Additionally, our results repair some gaps in the pervious work.

The energy stability of the fully discrete scheme and the boundedness of numerical solution are studied. The rigorous error estimates of order $ O(\tau^2+h^2) $ in the sense of $ L^2 $-norm is derived. Finally, some numerical results are given to demonstrate the theoretical analysis.
Analysis of $ D $-$ BMAP/G/1 $ queueing system under $ N $-policy and its cost optimization
Authors: Nandi Rakesh , Samanta Sujit Kumar , Kim Chesoong
Published: September 2020

This article studies an infinite buffer single server queueing system under \begin{document}$ N $\end{document}-policy in which customers arrive according to a discrete-time batch Markovian arrival process. The service times of customers are independent and obey a common general discrete distribution. The idle server begins to serve the customers as soon as the queue size becomes at least \begin{document}$ N $\end{document} and serves the customers until the system becomes empty. We determine the queue length distribution at post-departure epoch with the help of roots of the associated characteristic equation of the vector probability generating function. Using the supplementary variable technique, we develop the system of vector difference equations to derive the queue length distribution at random epoch. An analytically simple and computationally efficient approach is also presented to compute the waiting time distribution in the queue of a randomly selected customer of an arrival batch. We also construct an expected linear cost function to determine the optimal value of \begin{document}$ N $\end{document} at minimum cost. Some numerical results are demonstrated for different service time distributions through the optimal control parameter to show the key performance measures.
Comportamiento sísmico de edificaciones de tapia pisada reforzadas con marcos de madera y viga de coronación en concreto
Authors: López P. Cecilia , Ruiz Daniel , Jerez Sandra , Aguilar Sandra , Torres Juan F. , Alvarado Yezid A.
Published: September 2020

La construcción en tierra está presente en todo el mundo. Muchas de estas construcciones se encuentran en regiones sísmicas y tienen una vulnerabilidad alta. Con el fin de reducir esta vulnerabilidad se propone una estrategia integrada que consiste en un refuerzo externo con elementos de madera en ambas direcciones y en ambos lados de los muros (en tapia pisada) simultáneamente con la implementación de un diafragma rígido por medio de una viga de coronación en concreto. Se propone que la viga se construya con una transición entre la tierra y el concreto para mejorar la compatibilidad. Los resultados de ensayos en mesa vibratoria en un modelo a escala 1:6 y su contraparte no reforzada muestran una mejora significativa en el comportamiento global de la construcción (reducción en los desplazamientos hasta del 80% en los modelos reforzados), logrando el objetivo de prevenir el colapso, manteniendo la integridad de la estructura.
Estudio tipológico de los observatorios astronómicos
Authors: Castro-Tirado Miguel Ángel , Castro-Tirado Alberto Javier
Published: September 2020

El desarrollo de la astronomía como ciencia, de los sistemas constructivos y de la tecnología ha provocado una evolución no planificada de los observatorios astronómicos como edificios. Estos cambios se han consolidado mediante un proceso de ensayo-error en el que determinadas innovaciones se iban descartando mientras algunas novedades se consolidaban y otras modificaciones sustituían soluciones preexistentes. Como es lógico, a lo largo de este proceso también se han producido algunos proyectos fallidos o parcialmente errados. A tenor de la constante evolución de los parámetros que condicionan las necesidades y posibilidades técnicas de los observatorios, este trabajo clasifica estos centros astronómicos, proponiendo 10 tipologías en el desarrollo de los observatorios astronómicos a lo largo de la historia, y estudia los rasgos que los definen para establecer un conocimiento de base que sirva a los diseñadores de futuros proyectos.
Retos de la seguridad en caso de incendio de levantes en edificios de vivienda existentes
Authors: Echeverría Juan Bautista , Rubio Nieves , Rodríguez Itziar , Jönsson Jimmy , Vigne Gabriele , Sánchez Javier
Published: September 2020

La adición de pisos(levantes) en edificios existentes de viviendas ha sido una práctica habitual en Europa desde mediados del siglo XX. Los desarrollos urbanos en los ensanches, ocupados por bloques de viviendas en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y en la primera del XX, encuentran en los levantes una oportunidad para cubrir los costes de renovación y para limitar la dispersión urbana. Sin embargo, las obras para llevarlos a cabo enfrentan a promotores, diseñadores y reguladores a muchos retos, constituyendo la seguridad de incendio (SCI) uno de los más confusos. Los Códigos prescriptivos de SCI están redactados para edificios nuevos y su uso en edificios existentes puede tener resultados impredecibles, llegando incluso a imposibilitar determinadas intervenciones. Este artículo analiza la problemática que la aplicación de la regulación prescriptiva española de SCI genera en los levantes, proponiendo soluciones basadas en prestaciones que no disminuyan el nivel de seguridad requerido.

Authors: Beesley Sarah J. , Hirshberg Eliotte L. , Wilson Emily L. , Butler Jorie M. , Oniki Thomas A. , Kuttler Kathryn G. , Orme James F. , Hopkins Ramona O. , Brown Samuel M.
Published: September 2020

Background

Family members of patients in intensive care units may experience psychological distress and substantial caregiver burden.

Objective

To evaluate whether change in caregiver burden from intensive care unit admission to 3-month follow-up is associated with caregiver depression at 3 months.

Methods

Caregiver burden was assessed at enrollment and 3 months later, and caregiver depression was assessed at 3 months. Depression was measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score. The primary analysis was the association between depression at 3 months and change in caregiver burden, controlling for a history of caregiver depression.

Results

One hundred one participants were enrolled; 65 participants had a surviving loved one and completed 3-month follow-up. At 3-month follow-up, 12% of participants met criteria for depression. Increased caregiver burden over time was significantly associated with depression at follow-up (Fisher exact test, P = .004), although this association was not significant after controlling for self-reported history of depression at baseline (Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test, P = .23).

Conclusions

Family members are increasingly recognized as a vulnerable population susceptible to negative psychological outcomes after a loved one’s admission to the intensive care unit. In this small sample, no significant association was found between change in caregiver burden and depression at 3 months after controlling for baseline depression.
Feasibility of Videophone-Assisted Neuropsychological Testing For Intensive Care Unit Survivors
Authors: Han Jin H. , Collar Erin M. , Lassen-Greene Caroline , Self Wesley H. , Langford Richard W. , Jackson James C.
Published: September 2020

Background

Most hospitals lack neuropsychologists, and this lack has hampered the conduct of large-scale, multicenter clinical trials to evaluate the effect of interventions on long-term cognition in patients in intensive care units (ICUs).

Objective

To evaluate the feasibility of videophone-assisted neuropsychological testing administered by using an inexpensive high-definition web camera and a laptop.

Methods

This prospective, single-center observational study, conducted at a tertiary care academic hospital, included ICU survivors aged 18 years or older. Participants were seated in a quiet room with a proctor who provided neuropsychological testing forms and addressed technical difficulties. The neuropsychological rater was in a room 100 yd (90 m) from the participant. Skype was used for videoconferencing via a wireless connection. After the testing session was completed, participants completed surveys.

Results

In April 2017, 10 ICU survivors (median age, 63 years; range, 51–73 years) were enrolled. All indicated that “Videophone-assisted neuropsychological testing is reasonable to use in research studies.” When asked “What made the videophone-assisted cognitive testing difficult?” 1 participant (10%) reported occasionally becoming frustrated with the testing because the wireless internet speed was slower than usual and reduced the resolution of visual stimuli. Three participants (30%) reported difficulty with the line orientation task because the lines were “shaky” and the images were “hard to see.”

Conclusion

Videophone-assisted neuropsychological testing is feasible for evaluating cognition in multicenter studies of ICU patients. Feedback provided will be used to refine this telemedicine approach to neuropsychological testing.
On non stress-free junctions between martensitic plates
Authors: Della Porta Francesco
Published: September 2020

The analytical understanding of microstructures arising in martensitic phase transitions relies usually on the study of stress-free interfaces between different variants of martensite. However, in the literature there are experimental observations of non stress-free junctions between martensitic plates, where the compatibility theory fails to be predictive.

Some Results on Polish Groups
Authors: Paolini Gianluca , Shelah Saharon
Published: September 2020

We prove that no quantifier-free formula in the language of group theory can define the ℵ1-half graph in a Polish group, thus generalising some results from [6]. We then pose some questions on the space of groups of automorphisms of a given Borel complete class, and observe that this space must contain at least one uncountable group. Finally, we prove some results on the structure of the group of automorphisms of a locally finite group: firstly, we prove that it is not the case that every group of automorphisms of a graph of power λ is the group of automorphism of a locally finite group of power λ; secondly, we conjecture that the group of automorphisms of a locally finite group of power λ has a locally finite subgroup of power λ, and reduce the problem to a problem on p-groups, thus settling the conjecture in the case λ = ℵ0.
Kodeks cywilny kantonu Berna (1824–1830) i jego wpływ na przemiany społeczne i ustrojowe
Authors: Lewandowicz Maria
Published: September 2020

The Bernese Civil Code (1824–1830) and Its Impact on Socio-Political Development*

The objective of this paper is to present the dynamics of events and dependencies, which resulted in the enactment of the Bernese Civil Code, as well as the importance and consequences of this work in the development of civil law and civil society in the canton of Bern. The paper addresses the issues concerning the question as to whether it is possible for an act of civil law to become a source of rules which, not finding sufficient protection in the existing constitutional system, cause changes in the latter. Did the codification of private law and the act of providing the ideas of freedom and equality with statutory protection result in the fall of the governance existing in Bern in the first half of the 19th century? Or was it perhaps the result of the accumulation of internal and external circumstances, leading to a formal sanctioning of systemic changes which had already occurred? The process of codification and systemic change in Bern constitutes an excellent example of the interdependence between private and publiclegal legislation and the fact that constitutional law does not always have to be the primary source of state protection covering basic social values.

Koncepcja praw noachickich w Sefer ha-chinuch
Authors: Majdanik Piotr
Published: September 2020

THE CONCEPT OF NOAHIDE LAWS IN SEFER HA-CHINUCH

Sefer ha-chinuch is one of the earliest and most interesting works created after Maimonides which deal more broadly with the issue of Noahide laws (laws given according to the Judaic tradition to all humanity). The purpose of the article is to present the original views of the author of this book on the issue of seven Noahide laws, and in particular on their relations to the 613 commandments of Israel. Discussion on the Noahide laws in Sefer ha-chinuch is not organized in a systematic way. The originality and value of this work lies, firstly, in the very approach to this topic in a general way (the inspiration was certainly Maimonides); secondly, in the concept of Noahide laws as categories, the details of which are comparable, although not identical, to the Israeli commandments. This concept resulted in an innovative construction involving the incorporation of the Noahide commandments into a discussion on individual Israeli commandments. Thirdly, the originality of the work is manifested also in certain halachic concepts concerning aspects of specific Noahide laws, often departing from Maimonides’ solutions.

Przyczynek do pozagładowego lurianizmu. Droga żelazna Aharona Appelfelda
Authors: Tacik Przemysław

A CONTRIBUTION TO THE POST-SHOAH LURIANISM: THE IRON TRACKS BY AHARON APPELFELD

The article reinterprets The Iron Tracks by Aharon Appelfeld as a work of Lurianic Kabbalah adapted to the world after the Shoah. It is a reality of collapsed transcendence in which no divinity or ethics hold universal validity. As in Lurianism, this world contains entrapped sparks of former transcendence: dispersed Jewish survivors, artefacts of Jewish life and a Jewish Communist organization. Appelfeld portrays a post-survival world based on permanent repetition and unrepented guilt. The gist of his novel, however, lies in the slim possibility of redemption which the main protagonist, Erwin Siegelbaum, opens up with an act of vengeance on a war criminal.

Ao longo da história, os conhecimentos foram sendo produzidos não de forma cumulativa, mas de maneira dinâmica, com ressignificações sucessivas em busca das representações viáveis e coerentes com o mundo das experiências humanas. De acordo com Moretto (2003), essa construção ao longo da história humana nem sempre se deu de forma pacífica. Na realidade, ocorreu em meio a contradições sociais, com superação de vaidades, com frustrações individuais e com a contribuição de muitos estudiosos persistentes que perseguiram firmemente seus ideais, posto que arcando com ônus por suas idéias inovadoras.
Haematological Malignancies in Nigeria: Challenges in Diagnosis and Management – A Systematic Review.
Authors: Ugwu NI , Nwannadi IA
Published: September 2020

Haematological malignancies are major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The aim of this review was to summarize some of the challenges that hamper proper diagnosis and management of haematological malignancies in Nigeria and how they affect outcome. MEDLINE Entrez PubMed, Google scholar and African Journals Online (AJOL) search were performed in April 2020 and studies that investigated challenges in diagnosis and management of haematological malignancies from 2005 to 2019 were sought. Search keywords included “haematological malignancies, challenges, Nigeria”. Only studies that provided information on the challenges of diagnosis and management of haematological malignancies in Nigeria were eligible and were selected. Inclusion criteria were original scientific investigations or case reports, not reviews, studies conducted in Nigeria between 2005 and 2019 and studies written in the English language. A total of eight relevant studies that fulfilled the study inclusion criteria were identified out of 4,129 studies found. Challenges of diagnosis and management of haematological malignancies reported by the studies include late presentation of patients in advanced stage of disease, inability to pay for investigations and/or treatment due to financial constraint, wrong/ delayed diagnosis due to poor diagnostic facility such as use of only morphology for histological diagnosis without immunohistochemistry and poorly equipped health facilities to manage haematological malignancies. Poor outcome as a result of those challenges were also reported by the studies. Awareness creation and education on the importance of early presentation to health facility should be encouraged. Health system should be strengthened by including haematological malignancies in National Health Insurance and providing well equipped health facility for proper diagnosis and management of haematological malignancies.

Published: September 2020

The Human monkeypox is a viral zoonosis which was first reported as a human disease in Zaire (present day Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1970. Outbreaks of the disease have occurred, though rarely, in some West African countries including Nigeria since then. However, in 2017 there was a large outbreak in Nigeria affecting a lot of states. We wish to report the cases that were identified and managed successfully in Makurdi, Benue state because of their unique presentation as all but one of the patients had HIV coinfection which possibly was a risk factor for the monkeypox viral infection

Resistance training for street runners
Authors: Hunger Marcelo Studart , Santos Luzinete da Silva Martins , Silva Maiara Irene Sagradin da , Falsetti Marcos Roberto , Martelli Anderson
Published: September 2020

Currently, street racing is one of the most popular sports in the population, an increase related not only to high performance sports, but also to people's search for a more active and healthy lifestyle, since it is a sport popular and does not require large investments in equipment and can be practiced by all social classes and in various environments. We sought to demonstrate the effect of strength training for street runners, noting that numerous studies show that strength training does not hinder the development of this ability, and is even important to strengthen and improve performance. Therefore, the effect of this training on specific practitioners in the cross-race mode was analyzed, trying to certify that the strength training, in the concurrent form with the aerobic, has several positive points, while it can also be investigated if there are any negatives in the exercise resistance training. Therefore, it can be seen at the end that concurrent training has benefits for runner athletes, but it is specifically designed for street race performance, which can prevent muscle injury, improve running economy and increase performance in higher-end races.

Corporate Philanthropy and Firm Value in Africa: A case study of Selected Firms in South Africa
Authors: Ouma Wycliffe Nduga
Published: September 2020

This study sought to investigate the relationship between corporate philanthropy and firm value in Africa, using firms listed on the
Johannesburg Securities Exchange as the representative sample. The analysis discovered that only 25 firms had complete data over a
short period of 11 years resulting in a panel of 255 firm-year observations. The study established that Corporate Donations in South
Africa is moderately nascent but has been growing steadily over the last few years. With only 13 firms involved in corporate donations
by the year 2008, the number is found to be ten times by the end of 2018. Using the panel ordinary least squares model, results revealed
that four variables, including the corporate social responsibility index, positively influenced firm value. The study also investigated
the motives for corporate philanthropy. Results indicated that the book value of a firm, sales revenue size (total assets), leverage, and
corporate social responsibility reporting significantly influenced a firm’s decision to donate to charity. The findings indicate that a firm’s
participation in charity is a long-term strategic commitment for financial returns to all corporate stakeholders.
