The impact of sovereign debt purchase programms. A case study: the Spanish-to-Portuguese bond yield spread
Authors: Cerezo Fernando , Girón Pablo , González-Pérez María T. , Pascual Roberto
Published: June 2024

This paper studies the impact of the sovereign bond purchase programmes implemented by the ECB since 2014, focusing on the dynamics of Spain to Portugal’s sovereign bond yield spread. The analysis confirms that, although fundamental fiscal, macroeconomic, and financial factors effectively explain the bond yield spread dynamics for most of the period, the ECB asset purchase programmes and the stock of long-term debt outstanding in bonds in both countries contribute to explaining the bond yield spread dynamics observed since 2020.
Inducción de celos con efecto macho, utilizando carneros vasecomizados asociados o no con ovejas en celo en ovejas Merino durante el anestro estacional: experiencias prácticas en Uruguay
Authors: Lorenzelli Eduardo , Ungerfeld Rodolfo
Published: June 2024

En el presente trabajo se plantean resultados prácticos de la utilización del efecto macho para inducir celos y ovulaciones durante el anestro estacional de ovejas Merino en un sistema extensivo. Durante 9 años (2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 y 2023) se indujo la ciclicidad en total a 15.300 ovejas durante el anestro estacional, mediante la introducción súbita de carneros vasectomizados, con ovejas con celo farmacológico hasta 2020, y sin las mismas a partir de 2021. En todos los casos se utilizó 4,5 % de machos, y hasta 2020 9% de ovejas en celo. A los 15 días se retiraron los animales estimuladores, introduciéndose otros carneros vasectomizados. En el último año, 2023, se utilizó una combinación de carneros vasectomizados con machos castrados tratados con testosterona en lugar de solamente carneros vasectomizados. Se controló el celo diariamente, y las ovejas fueron inseminadas con semen fresco. En total, 13.488 ovejas manifestaron celo (88,16%), con una variación de entre 69,18% y 97,75% de acuerdo al año, aunque en los años de menor incidencia el inicio del control de celos se retrasó, lo que probablemente implicó perder datos de ovejas en celo. Si bien no se identificaron las ovejas que parieron, la tasa de preñez estuvo siempre por encima del 60%. La distribución de los celos, si bien tuvo variaciones menores entre los años, en general correspondió a una distribución bimodal consistente con la respuesta al efecto macho. En conclusión, el uso de carneros vasectomizados tanto con cómo sin ovejas en celo permitió tener una alta incidencia de celos en ovejas Merino en anestro estacional.

Integration of green finance with ESG compliance to enhance the firm value. Managerial approach to determining the level of liquidity
Authors: Habib Ashfaq , Khan Muhammad Asif , Tangl Anita
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study is to reveal the integration of green finance with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) compliance in firm liquidity. We also explore the non-financial channels like social capital and green innovation through which ESG compliance influences the firm’s liquidity. The study employs two-stage Least Squares (2SLS) and Generalized Method of Movements (GMM) regression analysis to address the endogeneity issues. The results obtained through 2SLS and GMM regression analysis indicate that firms engagement in green finance and ESG compliance help them keep their liquidity low. The findings indicate that firms operating in high-ESG regions have lower liquidity than firms operating in low-ESG regions. Green finance plays an essential role in designing the firm’s long-term strategy to promote sustainable development and address climate change. Green finance helps mobilize funds for sustainable environmental projects and reduces the risk of green investment. It may also improve the firm’s performance and reduce financial constraints. The government should introduce the clear legislation, incentives, and standards to promote the green finance for sustainable investment. The private sector can implement the green finance practices by integrating ESG disclosures with firm investment decisions, and innovation processes. This research study contributes to the existing corporate literature by analyzing the integration of ESG disclosures with green finance in the presence of social capital and green innovation in firm liquidity.
Influence of effort expectancy on consumers’ purchase intention within a B2C imported cross-border e-commerce market: The mediating role of consumer trust
Authors: Cao Wang , Putit Lennora
Published: June 2024

This study is primarily aimed at examining the influence of effort expectancy on consumers’ purchase intention within a Business-to-Consumer (B2C) cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) consumption market in China. With the improvement of the living standards for the Chinese consumers, the B2C imported cross-border e-commerce platforms have become the choice of consumers for online shopping. On the basis of the seminal UTAUT Model, consumer trust is proposed as a potential mediator for the relationship between effort expectancy and purchase intention. By using a non-probability sampling technique, an online questionnaire survey distribution was employed with an overall return rate of 108 usable feedback. Data were analysed using the SmartPLS Version 4.0.9.9 statistical software. Results revealed a positive and significant influence of effort expectancy on consumers’ purchasing intentions. Furthermore, we found that consumer trust significantly mediates the relationship between effort expectancy and purchase intention. These findings could assist imported cross-border e-commerce platform enterprises towards enhancing the convenience of online shopping on these platforms and improving consumers' trust in online shopping activities. This study contributes to promoting the platform enterprises to improve the convenience of the whole process of platform operation and purchase, and is conductive to paying attention to the consumer trust to enhance the enterprise’s reputation, which will help develop customer stickiness and cultivate loyal customers.

Dermatophytosis is among the most common skin conditions in small animal clinics, in addition to being among the zoonoses that most affect adults and children. Considering the importance of this disease in dogs, the present study aimed to investigate, in light of the literature, the main pathophysiological aspects, diagnosis and treatment of canine dermatophytosis. The study was based on a narrative review of the literature, whose searches were carried out in the following databases: SCIELO, BDTD, VHL and books. Analysis of specialized literature showed that dermatophytosis is caused by dermatophytes, with the main causative fungal agents being Microsporum canis, M. gypseum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. These are fungi that affect keratinized tissues, such as skin, nails and hair, causing characteristic and diverse lesions, depending on the causative agent and the immune status of the host. Clinical manifestations include alopecia, inflammation, pustules, circular lesions, crusts, scales and itching. The most recommended treatment for canine dermatophytosis includes the use of topical and systemic antifungals, depending on the stage of the disease. Topical antifungals, such as creams and shampoos, are used in mild or localized cases, while systemic antifungals, such as tablets, are indicated for more severe or disseminated infections. The correct diagnosis of this pathology, through clinical and laboratory examinations, is crucial for effective treatment and prevention of transmission to humans and other animals. The correct approach to canine dermatophytosis is vital for public health, as it is a zoonosis with significant transmission potential. Prevention and control strategies, combined with early diagnosis and adequate treatment, are essential to minimize the risks of infection and spread, protecting both animals and humans.

Authors: Felizardo Luiz Flávio , Gualberto Daniel Rocha , Carrano Davi Pereira
Published: June 2024

A retenção de alunos é um desafio crítico para as instituições de ensino superior, com implicações profundas tanto para as universidades quanto para os estudantes envolvidos. A evasão escolar não apenas afeta negativamente a sustentabilidade financeira das instituições, mas também compromete o desenvolvimento acadêmico e profissional dos alunos. Neste estudo, abordamos essa questão através de uma solução que integra técnicas de inteligência artificial. Assim, desenvolvemos e implementamos um modelo preditivo para analisar a probabilidade de abandono escolar no curso de Pedagogia de uma universidade federal no Brasil. O modelo foi alimentado por dados históricos de alunos abrangendo aspectos como desempenho acadêmico, frequência, entre outros. A implementação do modelo envolveu uma fase detalhada de preparação dos dados, onde variáveis significativas foram codificadas e normalizadas para garantir a eficácia do treinamento da rede neural. A rede foi configurada com uma camada de entrada, uma camada oculta e uma camada de saída, utilizando a função de ativação tangente hiperbólica e o algoritmo de otimização ADAM. A acurácia do modelo alcançada foi de 98.7%, demonstrando uma capacidade notável de prever desistências antes que elas ocorram. Ademais, uma validação final de tipo longitudinal em nosso estudo revelou que, dos alunos identificados com mais de 25% de probabilidade de evasão em 2019, aproximadamente 90% abandonaram o curso até 2024, confirmando ainda mais a relevância das previsões fornecidas. Assim, a ferramenta permite intervenções estratégicas e personalizadas por parte dos gestores para aumentar a retenção estudantil. Desta forma, este trabalho evidencia a eficácia das Redes Neurais Artificiais em prever a evasão escolar e destaca o papel transformador que técnicas de Business Intelligence e Inteligência Artificial podem desempenhar no aprimoramento das práticas pedagógicas e administrativas em universidades.

This study evaluated the environmental conditions of various microenvironments in an urbanized rural area, focusing on the analysis of the Kawamura's Discomfort Index (DIK) and the application of a mathematical model based on fuzzy logic to determine human well-being (HWB). Data were collected at the Federal University of Grande Dourados (UFGD), Dourados-MS, Brazil, during the summer of 2023-2024, in five different microenvironments: no shading with asphalt floor, no shading with grass floor, no shading with concrete floor, tree cover with grassy floor, and tree cover with asphalt floor. Temperature and relative humidity were recorded to calculate DIK and evaluate environmental comfort levels in each location. A mathematical model based on fuzzy logic was also built to see its efficiency in representing real scenarios. In this model, the input variables were DIK and type of land cover, and the output variable was HWB. The results indicated that paved areas without shading presented the highest levels of thermal stress, while areas with greater vegetation cover showed better thermal comfort conditions. The fuzzy model developed proved to be an effective tool for representing levels of human well-being as a function of DIK and the type of land cover, allowing an accurate simulation of environmental scenarios. This research contributes to academia by interacting fuzzy logic with complex variables to accurately study human thermal comfort. Through this study, it was possible to suggest that urban planning policies should prioritize the maintenance and incorporation of vegetation, especially the presence of trees, to promote more comfortable and sustainable environments.

Il contributo prende in esame quattro romanzi dello scrittore italo-algerino Amara Lakhous analizzandoli dal punto di vista sociolinguistico e non letterario. L’obiettivo è quello di verificare l’importanza della lingua nel processo di costruzione sociale della realtà e nella ri-definizione dell’identità del soggetto migrante per favorirne l’integrazione. Si indagherà, pertanto, il repertorio linguistico dei diversi personaggi provenienti da luoghi differenti focalizzando l’attenzione tale aspetto, ancora poco indagato, per sottolineare quanto il binomio lingua-cultura sia inscindibile. Lo studio rivela quanto la diversità culturale tra lo straniero e la società ospitante si esplica soprattutto nell’ambito linguistico: la conoscenza di una lingua ‘altra’ rispetto alla propria L1 permette di avere di un’ulteriore chiave che apre le porte alla comunicazione e alla comprensione tra soggetti e concede opportunità che sarebbe precluse in caso contrario.
 
The social construction of reality and the sociolinguistic stratification in some novels by Amara Lakhous
 
The paper examines four novels by the Italian-Algerian writer Amara Lakhous through a sociolinguistic analysis. The aim of the work is to verify the importance of the language in the process of social construction of reality and of re-definition of migrant’s identity to allow integration. Therefore, it examines the linguistic repertoire of various characters coming from different places of origin, focusing on this aspect, still less investigated, to highlight how language-culture relation cannot be divided. The study reveals that cultural diversity between the migrant and the host society is mainly expressed in the language: the knowledge of a language different from the L1 allows to have an additional key that promotes communication and understanding between subjects and grants opportunities that would be precluded otherwise.

The process of writing is highly significant in the field of education as a means of communication. Writing proficiency is an important skill that EFL students are required to achieve during their academic careers. However, developing academic writing skills can be difficult for students as well as teachers. Various instructional strategies and interventions have been investigated to improve the quality of students' writing. Self-assessment is one such method that has received a great deal of attention. With the growing emphasis on self-assessment in students’ writing development, the review aims to provide an updated comprehensive synthesis of the current literature on self-assessment and its relationship with writing skills. The current review seeks to identify, describe, and synthesize the most rigorously available recent evidence base on the role self-assessment plays to improve EFL students’ writing skills. About 30 papers from 2010 to 2023 that were relevant to the topic of this paper were selected for the review process. Findings of this review indicate that self-assessment can play a role in improving the learning experience of students in general through improving their self-awareness and satisfaction; let alone improving writing skills. That is, the more students employ self-assessment and are aware of their mistakes, the better their writing skills are. Overall, learning writing skills is as teaching it, always challenging. Some recommendations for EFL teachers and implications for policy are discussed.

Published: June 2024

To create a sustainable, safe, and dynamic transportation system, it is crucial to prioritize pedestrian safety. Pedestrians are considered vulnerable road users, and the severity of their injuries in motor vehicle accidents is relatively high. This study aims to evaluate the cost benefits by comparing the estimated reduction in accident losses with the costs incurred for improving crossing facilities using pelican crossings. The average accident loss is calculated in areas with crosswalks, along with the investment costs for enhancing pedestrian facilities by adding signals. From this, the benefits of reducing accident losses due to improved pedestrian facilities can be estimated. In the Polda Metro Jaya (PMJ) jurisdiction, the average accident loss at locations with zebra crossings is IDR 144,988,136, while the measurement cost based on the Transportation Agency's work plan is IDR 175,000,000. The benefit-cost analysis yields a ratio of 0.207, indicating that enhancing pedestrian crossing safety will provide long-term benefits.

Published: June 2024

This study provides evidence on the effect of financial leverage on investment decisions of Nigerian firms using data from non-financial firms listed in Nigeria Stock Exchange. This evidence was established using dynamic panel data method. Specifically, we employed system generalized method of moments (SGMM) in order to address the issue of individual firm heterogeneity and endogeneity problems inherent in the relationship between financial leverage and firm investment. The results show that financial leverage is negatively related to the level of firm investment. This outcome is based on the idea that lack of free liquid funds results to underinvestment problem, which is based on the view that internal and external capital is not perfect substitutes. In view of this, our dynamic panel results provide strong supports for agency theory of financial leverage.

Sự sống, quà tặng của Thiên Chúa
Authors: Lâm Phước
Published: June 2024

Trong cuộc trò chuyện giữa MC và cha Giuse, cha Giuse nhấn mạnh sự quý báu của sự sống và quan điểm của Hội Thánh Công Giáo về việc bảo vệ sự sống từ thời điểm thụ thai. Cha Giuse nêu rõ rằng sự sống là một món quà vô giá từ Thiên Chúa và việc xâm phạm hoặc chấp nhận phá thai là tội lỗi nghiêm trọng. Ông cũng đề cập đến việc trợ tử và cho rằng không được phép trực tiếp giết chết người để giải quyết đau đớn, thậm chí trong các trường hợp bệnh tật nặng nề. Tuy nhiên, việc sử dụng thuốc giảm đau để làm giảm đau đớn được coi là chấp nhận được, miễn là không nhắm đến cái chết như mục đích hay phương tiện. Cuối cùng, cha Giuse chia sẻ một ví dụ về thân mẫu của thánh Gioan Phaolô II, người từ chối phá thai dù đang đối diện với nguy cơ sức khỏe. Bằng việc này, cha Giuse nhấn mạnh tôn trọng đối với sự sống và sự quyết định của mỗi con người trong việc đối diện với các tình huống phức tạp về sức khỏe và cuộc sống.
Abstract
In the conversation between the MC and Father Giuse, Father Giuse emphasizes the preciousness of life and the Catholic Church's viewpoint on protecting life from the moment of conception. Father Giuse clarifies that life is a priceless gift from God and that infringing upon or accepting abortion is a grave sin. He also addresses euthanasia and believes that it is not permissible to directly kill a person to alleviate pain, even in cases of severe illness. However, the use of painkillers to reduce pain is considered acceptable, provided it does not aim at death as either a purpose or a means. Finally, Father Giuse shares an example of Saint John Paul II’s mother, who refused an abortion despite facing health risks. Through this, Father Giuse highlights respect for life and the individual decision-making of each person when facing complex health and life situations.
Lập trường an tử trên nền tảng nhân phẩm
Authors: Nguyễn Văn Chiến
Published: June 2024

Cuộc sống ngày nay phát triển đa dạng với tiến bộ trong khoa học, kỹ thuật, kinh tế và y học, mang lại nhiều phát minh mới giúp cải thiện đời sống con người. Tuy nhiên, điều này cũng gây ra tác động tiêu cực khi thương mại hóa giá trị tinh thần, làm mất đi tư duy đạo đức và luân lý của con người. Điều này dẫn đến việc phổ biến phá thai, tự sát và an tử như một quyền lợi. Sự tập trung vào nhu cầu vật chất và niềm vui giả tạo khiến con người mất đi ý nghĩa của cuộc sống và không tôn trọng tính thánh thiêng của sự sống. Trong bối cảnh này, vai trò của giáo dục là khẳng định và tôn trọng phẩm giá của con người, bảo vệ quyền sống và nhấn mạnh tính thánh thiêng của cuộc sống. Hành vi an tử xâm phạm đến sự sống và phẩm giá con người, và không có hình thức nào của nó là chấp nhận được. Mặc dù bệnh nhân có thể đối mặt với cơn đau đớn, họ vẫn phải được tôn trọng và được hỗ trợ bằng các phương pháp giảm đau không ảnh hưởng đến ý thức của họ. Yêu thương và quan tâm của chúng ta đối với họ không chỉ là một nhiệm vụ đạo đức mà còn là biểu hiện của sự đồng cảm và tôn trọng đích thực đối với cuộc sống.
Abstract
Life today is characterized by diverse developments in science, technology, economy, and medicine, bringing about numerous innovations that improve human life. However, this also leads to negative impacts as spiritual values become commercialized, eroding human moral and ethical reasoning. This has led to the widespread practice of abortion, suicide, and euthanasia as rights. The focus on material needs and superficial pleasures has caused people to lose sight of the meaning of life and to disregard the sacredness of life. In this context, the role of education is to affirm and respect the dignity of human beings, protect the right to life, and emphasize the sacredness of life. Euthanasia violates the life and dignity of human beings, and no form of it is acceptable. Even though patients may face excruciating pain, they must still be respected and supported with pain relief methods that do not affect their consciousness. Our love and care for them are not only a moral duty but also an expression of genuine empathy and respect for life.
Cuestiones conceptuales sobre el derecho a la educación : implicancias para América Latina
Authors: Ruiz Guillermo Ramón
Published: June 2024

En este artículo conceptual se presenta una elucidación sobre el derecho a la educación a la luz de su desarrollo normativo en los países de América Latina. Este se trata de un derecho que posee un alto reconocimiento normativo pero una baja efectividad. El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar conceptualmente el significado de la educación como derecho humano. Se adopta una perspectiva metodológica cualitativa que tiene por objeto el análisis discursivo del material empírico organizado y reconstruir los alcances del contenido del derecho a la educación. Entre los resultados se analiza los estándares y se reconstruye los alcances del contenido del derecho a la educación en la jurisdicción internacional. Como conclusiones se identifican escalas de análisis, a partir de indicadores normativos, que posibilitan la demarcación del contenido del derecho a la educación.
A terceirização da formação profissional de nível médio no Brasil e o impacto no direito à educação : o caso do estado de São Paulo
Authors: Krawczyk Nora , Quadros Sergio Feldemann de , Silva Rogério Souza
Published: June 2024

A partir de uma contextualização histórica do conceito de direito à educação e os diferentes modelos de expansão do ensino médio profissional no Brasil, o artigo mostra a historicidade da relação educação e trabalho como campo de disputa de posições. Apresentam-se, a partir de pesquisa empírica, dois casos de parcerias em escolas públicas da rede estadual de São Paulo que oferecem o Itinerário Formativo Técnico Profissional, modalidade implantada com a atual Reforma do Ensino Médio. Observa-se um protagonismo quase determinante do empresariado em toda a formação do ensino médio e uma degradação do direito à educação, sobretudo para os jovens estudantes da formação profissional, alicerçada tanto em formas de terceirização do trabalho docente –que se insere nas formas precarizadas de trabalho– quanto na formação dos jovens trabalhadores; ambos em marcha na fase atual do capitalismo.
Figuraciones trans en el audiovisual documental mexicano
Authors: Corona Ramírez Omara
Published: June 2024

Este ensayo pretende dar cuenta de cómo lo trans ha sido presentado por el género audiovisual documental mexicano reciente, pensado como producción simbólica que dialoga con la emergencia de dicha disidencia sexo-genérica en la esfera pública. Se argumenta que la impronta de estos filmes está ligada a la figuración de lo trans como una alteridad minoritaria, y que los hechos audiovisuales producen sus propias narrativas y operaciones significantes en correlación con los procesos de politización. Privilegiando una concepción de representación como poder simbólico, planteamiento central de los estudios culturales latinoamericanos, se analiza la particularidad del género documental mediante casos concretos considerados como soportes de significado relevantes. El presente texto expone y condensa las principales líneas argumentativas de la tesis de maestría de la cual deriva.
Condiciones de vida de las transfeminidades migrantes de Mar del Plata, Argentina
Authors: Darouiche Cristian
Published: June 2024

El siguiente trabajo tiene por objetivos presentar y problematizar las condiciones de vida y los motivos de migración de transfeminidades y travestis que realizan sexo comercial en la ciudad de Mar del Plata, Argentina. La siguiente investigación fue realizada por medio del trabajo de campo etnográfico, incorporando las herramientas metodológicas de la observación participante y las entrevistas en profundidad. A modo de conclusión se afirma que, en la ciudad, las transfeminidades aún sufren discriminación y marginación social. Además, resulta alarmante la intensa criminalización que viven, traducida en violencia física, persecución y requisas violentas por parte de la policía provincial por la creación de la categoría narco-travesti.
Cuentos zapatistas para otros mundos posibles : de El Viejo Antonio a Defensa Zapatista
Authors: Cubells Aguilar Lola , Rangel López Azael
Published: June 2024

Los comunicados zapatistas convertidos en instrumentos para el diálogo con la sociedad civil han representado la construcción de una literatura política encaminada a la transformación de las conciencias. Analizamos los principales personajes nacidos de la pluma del Subcomandante Marcos y del Subcomandante Galeano, para analizar las voces y luchas que representan. Iniciamos con El Viejo Antonio, voz de la memoria y resistencia indígena; Don Durito de la Lacandona, escarabajo destinado a darnos lecciones de neoliberalismo; Elías Contreras y la Magdalena, el espejo de la lucha por el reconocimiento de la diversidad sexo-genérica; y la niña Defensa Zapatista, quien representa el sueño zapatista por hacer posible un mundo donde las niñas crezcan sin miedo. Este recorrido nos permite visualizar los diferentes ejes de lucha englobados en el zapatismo y mostrar cómo existe una lucha por la construcción de epistemologías otras que son resultado de una práctica política, del caminar preguntando zapatista.

Maternal Immune Activation and Autism Spectrum Disorder: Complex Interactions and Therapeutic Possibilities
Authors: Bjørklund Geir , Bhat Ramesa Shafi , El-Ansary Afaf
Published: June 2024

This review examines the intricate association between maternal immune activation (MIA) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), emphasizing the impact of maternal infections during pregnancy. Epidemiological studies link viral and bacterial infections to an elevated risk of ASD, revealing the complex interplay between environmental factors and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Immunological mechanisms, including cytokine dysregulation and neuroinflammation, involve key players such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, influencing fetal brain development and ASD risk. Genetic and environmental interactions contribute to individual susceptibility, with specific variants influencing MIA's impact on ASD risk. Epigenetic modifications provide a molecular link between environmental exposures, including MIA, and enduring neurodevelopmental changes. Recognizing critical periods during fetal neurodevelopment susceptible to MIA is crucial. Long-term studies highlight enduring consequences on behavior and cognition into childhood and adolescence. Exploring potential therapeutic interventions, including immunomodulatory strategies during pregnancy, offers hope for mitigating MIA's impact on ASD outcomes. Despite progress, knowledge gaps persist, motivating future research guided by emerging technologies and interdisciplinary approaches to unravel the intricate MIA-ASD relationship.
