Fractionation of stable carbon isotopes during microbial propionate consumption in anoxic rice paddy soils
Authors: Conrad Ralf , Claus Peter
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Propionate is an important intermediate during the breakdown of organic matter in anoxic flooded paddy soils. Since there are only a few experiments
on carbon isotope fractionation and the magnitude of the isotopic enrichment factors (ε) involved, we measured propionate conversion
to acetate, CH4 and CO2 in anoxic paddy soils. Propionate consumption was measured using samples of paddy soil from Vercelli
(Italy) and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI, the Philippines) suspended in a phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) both in the absence and
presence of sulfate (gypsum) and of methyl fluoride (CH3F), an inhibitor of aceticlastic methanogenesis. Under methanogenic conditions,
propionate was eventually degraded to CH4, with acetate being a transient intermediate. Butyrate was also a minor intermediate. Methane was
mainly produced by aceticlastic methanogenesis. Propionate consumption was inhibited by CH3F. Butyrate and CH4 were 13C-depleted relative to propionate, whereas acetate and CO2 were 13C-enriched. The isotopic enrichment factors
(εprop) of propionate consumption, determined by Mariotti plots, were in a range of −8 ‰ to −3.5 ‰. Under
sulfidogenic conditions, acetate was also transiently accumulated, but CH4 production was negligible. Application of CH3F hardly
affected propionate degradation and acetate accumulation. The initially produced CO2 was 13C-depleted, whereas the acetate was
13C-enriched. The values of εprop were −3.5 ‰. It is concluded that the degradation of organic carbon via
propionate to acetate and CO2 involves only a little isotope fractionation. The results further indicate a major contribution of
Syntrophobacter-type propionate fermentation under sulfidogenic conditions and Smithella-type propionate fermentation under
methanogenic conditions. This interpretation is consistent with data regarding the microbial community composition published previously for the same soils.
To What Extent Do Extreme Storm Events Change Future Flood Hazards?

Published: August 2023

Abstract. Due to global climate change, flooding is predicted to become more frequent in the coming decades. Recent literature has highlighted the importance of river morphodynamics in controlling flood hazards at the local scale. Abrupt and short-term geomorphic changes can occur after major storms. However, our ability to foresee where and when substantial changes will happen is still limited, hindering our understanding of their ramifications on future flood hazards. This study sought to understand the implications of major storm events for future flood hazards. For this purpose, we developed self-organizing maps (SOMs) to predict post-storm changes in stage‐discharge relationships, based on storm characteristics and watershed properties at 3,101 stream gages across the continental United States (CONUS). We tested and verified a machine learning (ML) model and its feasibility for (1) mapping the variability of geomorphic impacts of extreme storm events and (2) representing the effects of these changes on stage‐discharge relationships at gaged sites as a proxy for changes in flood hazard. The established model allows us to select rivers with stage-discharge relationships that are more prone to change after severe storms, for which flood frequency analysis should be revised on a regular basis so that hazard assessment can be up to date with the changing conditions. Results from the model show that, even though post-storm changes in channel conveyance are widespread, the impacts on flood hazard vary across CONUS. The influence of channel conveyance variability on flood risk depends on various parameters characterizing a particular landscape or storm. The proposed framework can serve as a basis for incorporating channel conveyance adjustments into flood hazard assessment.
FOCA: a new quality-controlled database of floods and catchment descriptors in Italy
Authors: Claps Pierluigi , Evangelista Giulia , Ganora Daniele , Mazzoglio Paola , Monforte Irene
Published: August 2023

Abstract. We here present FOCA (Italian FlOod and Catchment Atlas), the first systematic collection of data of Italian river catchments for which discharge historical time series are available. Hydrometric information, including annual maximum peak discharge and average daily annual maximum discharge, is complemented by several geomorphological, climatological, extreme rainfall, land cover and soil-related catchment attributes. All hydrologic information derives from the most recently released datasets of discharge and rainfall measurements. This paper provides a description of all the raw data and the algorithms used to build the basin attributes dataset, to enhance reproducibility and transferability of the analysis. We also describe the approaches adopted to solve problems encountered during the Digital Elevation Model elaboration in areas characterized by complex morphology. Details about the data quality-control procedure developed to detect and correct errors is also reported. One of the main novelties of FOCA with respect to other national-scale datasets is the inclusion of a rich set of geomorphological attributes and of extreme rainfall features spatially averaged over the watershed. With this first nationwide data collection (available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8060737), a wide range of environmental applications, with particular reference to flood studies, can be undertaken on the Italian territory.
Uncertainty estimation for a new exponential-filter-based long-term root-zone soil moisture dataset from Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) surface observations
Authors: Pasik Adam , Gruber Alexander , Preimesberger Wolfgang , De Santis Domenico , Dorigo Wouter
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Soil moisture is a key variable in monitoring climate and an important component of the hydrological, carbon, and energy cycles. Satellite products ameliorate the sparsity of field measurements but are inherently limited to observing the near-surface layer, while water available in the unobserved root-zone controls critical processes like plant water uptake and evapotranspiration. A variety of approaches exist for modelling root-zone soil moisture (RZSM), including approximating it from surface layer observations. While the number of available RZSM datasets is growing, they usually do not contain estimates of their uncertainty. In this paper we derive a long-term RZSM dataset (2002–2020) from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) surface soil moisture (SSM) COMBINED product via the exponential filter (EF) method. We identify the optimal value of the method's model parameter T, which controls the level of smoothing and delaying applied to the surface observations, by maximizing the correlation of RZSM estimates with field measurements from the International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN). Optimized T-parameter values were calculated for four soil depth layers (0–10, 10–40, 40–100, and 100–200 cm) and used to calculate a global RZSM dataset. The quality of this dataset is then globally evaluated against RZSM estimates of the ERA5-Land reanalysis. Results of the product comparison show satisfactory skill in all four layers, with the median Pearson correlation ranging from 0.54 in the topmost to 0.28 in the deepest soil layer. Temporally dynamic product uncertainties for each of the RZSM product layers are estimated by applying standard uncertainty propagation to SSM input data and by estimating structural uncertainties in the EF method from ISMN ground reference measurements taken at the surface and at varying depths. Uncertainty estimates were found to exhibit both realistic absolute magnitudes and temporal variations. The product described here is, to the best of our knowledge, the first global, long-term, uncertainty-characterized, and purely observation-based product for RZSM estimates up to 2 m depth.
Bidirectional coupling of the long-term integrated assessment model REgional Model of INvestments and Development (REMIND) v3.0.0 with the hourly power sector model Dispatch and Investment Evaluation Tool with Endogenous Renewables (DIETER) v1.0.2

Published: August 2023

Abstract. Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are a central tool for the
quantitative analysis of climate change mitigation strategies. However, due
to their global, cross-sectoral and centennial scope, IAMs cannot explicitly
represent the temporal and spatial details required to properly analyze the
key role of variable renewable energy (VRE) in decarbonizing the power
sector and enabling emission reductions through end-use electrification. In
contrast, power sector models (PSMs) can incorporate high spatiotemporal
resolutions but tend to have narrower sectoral and geographic scopes and
shorter time horizons. To overcome these limitations, here we present a
novel methodology: an iterative and fully automated soft-coupling framework
that combines the strengths of a long-term IAM and a detailed PSM. The key
innovation is that the framework uses the market values of power generations
and the capture prices of demand flexibilities in the PSM as price signals that change the capacity and power mix of the IAM. Hence, both
models make endogenous investment decisions, leading to a joint solution. We
apply the method to Germany in a proof-of-concept study using the IAM REgional Model of INvestments and Development (REMIND) v3.0.0 and the PSM Dispatch and Investment Evaluation Tool with Endogenous Renewables (DIETER) v1.0.2 and confirm the theoretical prediction of
almost-full convergence in terms of both decision variables and (shadow)
prices. At the end of the iterative process, the absolute model difference
between the generation shares of any generator type for any year is
< 5 % for a simple configuration (no storage, no flexible demand)
under a “proof-of-concept” baseline scenario and 6 %–7 % for a more
realistic and detailed configuration (with storage and flexible demand). For
the simple configuration, we mathematically show that this coupling scheme
corresponds uniquely to an iterative mapping of the Lagrangians of two power
sector optimization problems of different time resolutions, which can lead
to a comprehensive model convergence of both decision variables and (shadow)
prices. The remaining differences in the two models can be explained by a
slight mismatch between the standing capacities in the real world and
optimal modeling solutions based purely on cost competition. Since our
approach is based on fundamental economic principles, it is also applicable
to other IAM–PSM pairs.
Analogue experiments on releasing and restraining bends and their application to the study of the Barents Shear Margin

Published: August 2023

Abstract. The Barents Shear Margin separates the Svalbard and Barents Sea from the
North Atlantic. During the break-up of the North Atlantic the plate tectonic
configuration was characterized by sequential dextral shear, extension, and
eventually contraction and inversion. This generated a complex zone of
deformation that contains several structural families of overlapping and
reactivated structures. A series of crustal-scale analogue experiments, utilizing a scaled and
stratified sand–silicon polymer sequence, was used in the study of the
structural evolution of the shear margin. The most significant observations for interpreting the structural
configuration of the Barents Shear Margin are the following.
Prominent early-stage positive structural elements (e.g. folds, push-ups)
interacted with younger (e.g. inversion) structures and contributed to a
hybrid final structural pattern. Several structural features that were initiated during the early (dextral
shear) stage became overprinted and obliterated in the subsequent stages. All master faults, pull-apart basins, and extensional shear duplexes
initiated during the shear stage quickly became linked in the extension
stage, generating a connected basin system along the entire shear margin at
the stage of maximum extension. The fold pattern was generated during the terminal stage
(contraction–inversion became dominant in the basin areas) and was
characterized by fold axes striking parallel to the basin margins. These
folds, however, strongly affected the shallow intra-basin layers.
The experiments reproduced the geometry and positions of the major basins
and relations between structural elements (fault-and-fold systems) as
observed along and adjacent to the Barents Shear Margin. This supports the
present structural model for the shear margin.
СУЧАСНИЙ СТАН ПРАВОВОГО РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ ВІДНОСИН ЩОДО ДОВІРЧОЇ ВЛАСНОСТІ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Дектярьов Віктор Вікторович
Published: August 2023

У статті здійснено аналіз сучасного стану правового регулювання відносин щодо довірчої власності в Україні. Констатовано, що сьогодні, коли право довірчої власності розширило своє практичне застосування на площину забезпечення належного виконання кредитних і позикових зобов’язань, ситуація із розумінням та сприйняттям істинної сутності досліджуваної категорії ще більше ускладнилась, адже й досі залишається невирішеним як із теоретичної, так і з практичної сторони питання про те, чи є договір, що опосередковує відносини щодо встановлення режиму довірчої власності, підставою виникнення особливого різновиду права власності, чи все ж має місце обмежене речове право, похідне від права власності. Встановлено, що більшість країн континентального права, усвідомлюючи значну ефективність конструкції трасту у контексті сучасного розвитку приватноправових відносин, намагається створити достатні правові передумови для практичного застосування довірчої власності, проте з обов’язковим урахуванням необхідності її адаптації до особливостей правових систем цих країн, яким властиві абсолютність і неподільність права власності. Це призводить до трансформації традиційної сутності категорії трасту в правовому полі європейських країн і наділення її відповідними особливостями на тлі збереження основного призначення цієї категорії. Висловлено думку про те, що концепція довірчої власності як переходу права власності на майно від довірчого засновника до довірчого власника справді не дозволяє ототожнити право довірчої власності із правом власності у розумінні ст. 317 Цивільного кодексу України. Довірча власність є особливим правовим режимом, який зумовлює виникнення в особи права фідуціарної власності, що безпосередньо впливає не лише на визначення обсягу права, а й на саме право. Обмежена за тривалістю, переліком правомочностей, отриманих фідуціарієм, цільовим використанням майна і остаточністю, яка її обтяжує, фідуціарна власність в принципі не наділена ні безстроковістю, ні абсолютністю, так само як фізичне утримання довірчим засновником об’єкта довірчої власності і користування ним не є звичайною власністю. Доведено, що довірча власність як правова конструкція у системі координат речових прав є результатом симбіозу категорій права власності, зміст якого обмежений зобов’язальним правовідношенням, і обмеженого речового права, кваліфікуючі ознаки яких взаємодоповнюють і взаємопоглинають одне одного, внаслідок чого утворюється особливий фідуціарний режим власності.
Does the traditional or digital dental model measurement method affect the results?: A validation study
Authors: KARSLI Nurver , YURDAKUL Zehra , GONCA Merve , ÇAVA Kutay
Published: August 2023

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy, reliability and reproducibility of measurements made on digital models obtained using OrthoAnalyzer (3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) and Materialize 3 matic (MIMICS , Leuven, Belgium) software by comparing them with measurements made on dental plaster models.
Methods: The teeth of 50 individuals were measured and plaster models were obtained. In addition, digital images were obtained from the patients with Trios intraoral scanner. A total of 30 linear measurements were made using OrthoAnalyzer and Materialize 3 matic software, including the mesiodistal width of the teeth, arch perimeter, intercanine and intermolar distances. All measurements were made by two different examiners. For the first and second measurements of the first examiner, intraexaminer reliability was calculated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), two way mixed model, consistency type.
Results: The largest mean difference between Materialize 3 matic and caliper measurements was -0.136 mm in maxillary right first premolar and maxillary left lateral incisor. The smallest mean difference was 0.0029 mm in the mandibular left lateral incisor. In transverse measurements, the largest mean difference was found in the upper intercanine distance of 0.117 mm, and the smallest mean difference was 0.0086 mm in the upper intermolar distance. The largest mean difference between OrthoAnalyzer and caliper measurements was 0.107 mm in the maxillary right lateral incisor, and the smallest mean difference was 0.0049 mm in the maxillary left lateral incisor.
Conclusions: Linear distance measurements with three-dimensional digital models are a valid, reliable and reproducible method compared to plaster models.
Governance of quality assurance agencies in higher education - can independence be assured?
Authors:   , Kristoffersen Dorte
Published: August 2023

This thesis examines independence in quality assurance (QA) agencies for higher education drawing on experiences and perspectives of independence in four QA agencies. They form part of governance of higher education and their independence revolves around who they are independent from. The research found that there is some convergence (isomorphism) in their independences, but there are differences due to variations in legislation, culture, and international professional expectations. Ultimately, there is not one definition of independence; rather multiple dimensions of independences exist. Understanding this is important for QA agencies to protect those who expect to benefit from quality higher education outcomes.

A encefalopatia de Wernicke (EW) ou Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) e a síndrome de Korsakoff (SK) são distúrbios neurológicos distintos que podem ter características clínicas sobrepostas. Devido à sobreposição, eles são referidos coletivamente como síndrome de Wernicke-Korsakoff (SWK). EW tem sido associado com disfunção diencefálica e do mesencéfalo induzido por tiamina. EW geralmente se apresenta com confusão, oftalmoplegia, nistagmo e ataxia da marcha (tríade de Wernicke), embora nem sempre ocorram juntos. Embora o EW ocorra principalmente em alcoolistas, outras etiologias também devem ser consideradas, como após cirurgia bariátrica. O diagnóstico precoce e a terapia intravenosa com tiamina são essenciais para prevenir complicações do EW e reduzir a morbidade e mortalidade. Portanto, permitir que médicos e pacientes entendam EW é crucial para o diagnóstico e tratamento precoces. Portanto, a revisão narrativa visa fornecer as informações mais recentes sobre EW, revisando artigos publicados entre abril de 2015 e abril de 2022 sobre a etiologia, fisiopatologia, diagnóstico e atualizações de gerenciamento de EW. As buscas na literatura foram realizadas usando os motores de busca EMBASE, PubMed, Google Acadêmico, Google e Scopus.

COMBATE AO RACISMO NAS UNIDADES EDUCACIONAIS DA REDE MUNICIPAL DE ENSINO DE SÃO PAULO: ESTRATÉGIAS E POSSIBILIDADES
Authors: Fitipaldi Rafael Fernando da Silva Santos
Published: August 2023

RESUMO
Não se pode negar que a escola, assim como outras instituições sociais, está marcada pelo racismo e pelos imaginários que essa forma de violência produz e marca corpos, olhares e atitudes. Por se estar em uma sociedade em que se configura como racializada e que se constitui a partir de uma espécie de hierarquia de raças, na qual pessoas brancas, reconhecidas como parâmetros universais de beleza, de conduta, de cultura, etc., estão em uma situação de privilégio estrutural em detrimento de pessoas pretas, percebe-se que as relações de racismo estão presentes também na escola e na forma com a qual são tratados estudantes, quando dos conselhos de classe, sem que se considere as interseccionalidades de gênero, classe e raça a que estão marcados. Partindo dessas questões, observa-se que o combate ao racismo deve ocorrer durante todo o ano letivo, como uma questão preventiva para que as violências étnico-raciais não ocorram, e que sejam trabalhadas com seriedade quando ocorrerem. Ademais, o combate ao racismo deve ser entendido como um dever de todos os educadores e não somente de alguns poucos, ou de alguns componentes curriculares específicos, tampouco entendido como apenas um processo punitivo e sim através de uma perspectiva formativa continuada.

The conservationist mentality of classifying pristine and degraded environments has given way to a more intelligent approach, that is, producing and applying knowledge to increase and support biodiversity in human habitats. Cities have a high potential for the conservation of biological diversity, but it is not fully feasible without considerable planning and management inputs. There are many ecosystem services provided by trees in urban ecological systems, whose positive impact on human well-being is consensual in the literature. Likewise, the capacity of urban flora, especially woody vegetation, to attract and support fauna has been proven in several studies. Tropical megadiverse countries whose cities are undergoing rapid urbanization such as Brazil face the double challenge of creating cities that can support biological diversity, with environmental justice. The most important tool for solving these demands is urban afforestation planning. However, the capacity of Brazilian cities to plan and execute tree-planting projects is low. In this essay, we discuss the main difficulties related to urban afforestation in Brazil and present some alternatives for increasing the number of trees and species and for the democr

The Leptocoeliidae family (genera Anabaia, Australocoelia, Eocoelia, Leptocoelia, Leptocoelina and Pacificocoelia) has an important place in the global paleobiogeography, during the Silurian and Devonian. During these periods, global climate changes impacted a lot of invertebrate faunas in the epicontinental seas of Gondwana. In the Silurian, the genus Eocoelia reached a cosmopolitan behavior, while Leptocoelia emerged by adaptive sympatric processes and Anabaia became extinct. After that, during the Devonian, the genus Australocoelia emerged and reached cosmopolitan levels while Leptocoelina and Pacificocoelia emerged by sympatries in the equatorial regions. Australocoelia, during the Devonian, occupied the same ecological niches that were previously occupied by Anabaia in the Silurian. It can be said that the same occurred with Pacificocoelia and Eocoloelia in the seas of Laurentia, configuring a process of succession of faunas

Published: August 2023

O Financiamento Público Educacional constitui um espaço de disputa de poder, onde a parte mais fraca é aquela que se cala, a dos financiados. No atual cenário brasileiro de recessão financeira anunciada, é urgente a reflexão sobre as questões que envolvem esse tema, do contrário, corremos o risco de perder recursos financeiros que, até então, após um histórico de luta, estiveram presentes no orçamento público das diversas esferas governamentais. Nesse contexto, aprofunda-se, aqui, essa discussão, levantando-se alguns aspectos históricos, orçamentários e educacionais e propondo uma reflexão crítica sobre o tema.  Busca-se caracterizar a questão do Financiamento Público como um dos principais pilares de sustentação para uma educação pública capaz de combater o imobilismo que se instalou entre o poder dominante e os financiados e erguer uma bandeira revolucionária de discussão sobre o tema aqui proposto e sua responsabilidade com a Educação Básica Pública, vista como um ato político.

To Find Correlation of Visual Perception with Handwriting in Mainstream School Children Aged 10-12 Years in Mumbai
Authors: Kelaskar Neha , Waje Aditya , R. Gangan Resham.
Published: August 2023

Visual perception is the process by which the brain organizes and extracts information. Handwriting is one of the basic tasks of the elementary grades in all school systems. It is believed that visual motor integration and visual perceptual skills are dependent on each other. There are numerous studies that suggest a correlation between visual motor integration and handwriting, but there is scarcity of evidence in the literature showing exclusive role of visual perception on handwriting. In this cross-sectional study, we aim to find the correlation of visual perception with handwriting. A total of 302 mainstream school going children (both male, female aged 10-12 years) were enrolled in the study using convenient sampling. Children were assessed using Motor Free Visual Perception Test-4 ed. (MVPT-4) and Evaluation Tool for Children’s Handwriting. (ETCH). Following the completion of the assessment, Kruskal-Walli’s test was used to analyze and derive the results. The p value obtained through the comparisons of MVPT percentile scores with handwriting legibility (word, number, letter) were all significant. It was observed that with increase in MVPT percentile score the median score of ETCH also increases. Hence, the study concluded that there is a correlation of visual perception with handwriting legibility. This indicates that visual perception can be considered for assessment and intervention of handwriting.

Changes in the biochemical parameters of the blood of rats using hypoglycemic agents for the potentiation of drugs with a hepatoprotective effect

An interesting and unexplored to date is the hepatoprotective effect of hypoglycemic drugs, analogues of glucagon-like peptide-1, which include liraglutide. Knowing the positive effect of liraglutide on plasma lipid fractions and a general decrease in adipose tissue, a decrease in glucagon production and an increase in insulin synthesis, a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system and an anti-inflammatory effect, there is reason to believe that this drug may be useful in the complex therapy of liver diseases, such as fatty hepatosis, cirrhosis and non-infectious hepatitis, as its action affects the pathogenetic links of this group of diseases. 40 In this article, we analyze the possibilities of using Saxenda, the main active ingredient of which is liraglutide, to potentiate the hepatoprotective effects of the Hepaton-vet drug in groups of rats with induced hepatopathy, evaluating the effect of these drugs on blood biochemical parameters.

The effect of alcohol on the cognitive abilities of laboratory rats was studied. Individuals systematically received small doses of alcohol for a long time (4 months). Throughout the study, the results of the cognitive functions of animals were recorded, namely the ability to navigate in space and motor activity. At 1 month of alcohol intake, the cognitive abilities of the studied individuals improved significantly, but by the end of the experiment, the experimental subjects showed significantly lower results, thereby revealing the negative effects of alcohol on the body.
On the Calculation of the Magnitude of Induced Charges and the Electrostatic Dipole of an Oblate Spheroid with an Axis of Symmetry Collinear to an External Homogeneous Electrostatic Field
Authors: Kolbneva N. Yu.
Published: August 2023

The values of the surface induced charges, the positions of their centers and the value of the equivalent dipole of an oblate conducting spheroid are determined by transition from spheroidal coordinates to a spherical system of coordinates in the analytical asymptotic calculations of the first order of smallness with respect to the squared eccentricity. The characteristics of the equivalent dipole are obtained depending on the value of the electrostatic field strength, squared eccentricity, and the radius of an equal sphere.

Authors: Nunes Danilo Henrique , Montes Netto Carlos Eduardo , Ferreira Olavo Augusto Vianna Alves
Published: August 2023

A morosidade do Poder Judiciário tem representado um obstáculo para a obtenção de decisões eficientes e justas. Assim, surge a necessidade de estudo de outros métodos de resolução de conflitos, como a arbitragem. A presente pesquisa trata da arbitragem na administração pública, com o objetivo de analisar sua adequação para a concreção do princípio da continuidade do serviço público. A partir do método hipotético-dedutivo, optou-se pela realização de uma pesquisa exploratória com a utilização de revisão bibliográfica e de análise qualitativa dos dados a fim de se cumprir esse objetivo, o que possibilitou inferir, ao final, que a utilização da arbitragem, considerando as nuances da administração pública, pode ser significativamente benéfica, apontando-se grandes vantagens da via arbitral, sobretudo ao contemplar maior eficiência e celeridade nas decisões. Evidencia-se, assim, a possibilidade do uso da arbitragem na administração pública, em todos os níveis da Federação, bem como uma tendência de sua ampliação a partir da aprovação de normas recentes no país.

Authors: Pablo James Michael
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore the perspectives of Japanese and Chinese university students who are taking up global management courses on financial education and corporate governance. It aims to examine how the students’ age, nationality, and sex are related to their financial knowledge and views on corporate governance practices. It is motivated by the gap in the literature on the moral and ethical aspects of financial education and corporate governance, as well as the cultural factors that influence corporate decisions. The study also seeks to understand the perceptions and expectations of future professionals and business leaders from different cultural backgrounds regarding financial accounting and corporate governance systems. It is based on a literature review, a survey and semi-structured interview of 44 students from one of the top-ranked private universities in Tokyo. The research uses descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis to analyze the data. The study expects to find significant differences between the students’ financial knowledge and corporate governance views according to their age, nationality, and sex. It also expects to find positive relationships between the students’ financial knowledge and their corporate governance views. It also seeks to contribute to the existing literature by providing insights into the perspectives of Japanese and Chinese university students on financial education and corporate governance. The result of the study informs policies, education programs, and corporate practices related to financial accounting and corporate governance in Japan, China, and potentially other countries as well.
The Islamic Values and Democratic Ideals Navigating the Intersection of Islam and Democracy
Authors: Ahmad Nabilul Maram  , M. Ridlwan Nasir  , Husein Aziz
Published: August 2023

The debate about democracy and Islam has consistently been juxtaposed as if it never reaches a final resolution, leading to disharmony between pro and con camps in relation to democracy, especially in the contemporary era. This study elucidates that there is no need for a dichotomy between democracy and the discourse of the Quran, as the Quranic vision is not contradictory to the spirit of democracy. This research is conducted based on direct observation, taking into account empirical evidence from literature and phenomena occurring within society. The study concludes that such debate is not of paramount importance; rather, what is more urgent is fostering public participation capable of implementing democracy that aligns with the vision of the Quran and Islam at large, to prevent all forms of injustice, authoritarianism, intolerance, and oppression.

Published: August 2023

Groundnut is a key oilseed crop in the world and India is one of the largest groundnuts producing country in terms of area and yield. Keeping that in view, five models were developed for five districts of Andhra Pradesh to forecast the groundnut yield viz., Stepwise Multiple Linear Regression (SMLR), Ridge regression, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), Elastic Net (ELNET) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The historical data on the weather parameters are obtained from NASA POWER web portal and groundnut yields for these districts of the state during both Kharif and Rabi seasons obtained through Season and Crop Report, Government of Andhra Pradesh for the period, 2001 to 2020. In total 30 weather indices were generated through five weather variables. The assessment of models was done by fixing 75 % of the data for calibration and left 25 % data for validation. The findings inferred that based on the values of R2, RMSE, nRMSE and EF, Ridge regression, ELNET and ANN models showed better performance for Ananthapur, Chittoor and Kadapa districts and SMLR and LASSO models showed better performance for Kurnool and Nellore districts during both Kharif and Rabi seasons at calibration and validation stages.

Los escarabajos de la madera son coleópteros que se caracterizan por alimentarse de la madera en descomposición y llevar a cabo todo su ciclo de vida en el interior de los troncos podridos. Son insectos subsociales y tienen mecanismos diferenciados que permiten la comunicación sonora entre individuos. Por sus hábitos, los pasálidos dependen totalmente de la disponibilidad de troncos en descomposición, por lo que su abundancia y riqueza pueden verse afectados por procesos de transformación y degradación de los bosques. Colombia es el país con mayor riqueza de especies de pasálidos, sin embargo, muchas zonas del país aún permanecen inexploradas para el grupo. Así mismo, la mayoría de las especies conocidas se concentran en zonas que enfrentan amenazas producto de las actividades humanas. Por ello, es importante desarrollar proyectos que permitan conocer la riqueza y abundancia de las especies, así como las variables ambientales y de microhábitat a las que están asociadas, lo que permitiría anticipar los efectos de la degradación ambiental. A continuación, presentamos una reseña sobre los principales aspectos de los pasálidos, su importancia ecológica y citamos un ejemplo del estudio de la asociación de las especies con variables del hábitat en la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
