Is Silence Golden? An Investigation of Zero Unrecognized Tax Benefit Firms
Authors: Krieg Kimberly S. , Wilson Ryan J. , Wu Kaishu
Published: December 2024

We find over 31 percent of U.S. firms report a zero ending balance for their unrecognized tax benefits (UTBs). We refer to these firms as zero UTB firms and explore explanations for their prevalence. We find zero UTB firms are less complex than positive UTB firms. Specifically, they are smaller, less profitable, have less R&D and foreign earnings, and fewer operating segments and XBRL tags. We also find some evidence that these firms have less efficient tax departments. When splitting zero UTB firms by tax haven activity, we find that those with haven operations are more aggressive in their financial reporting than haven firms with positive UTBs. We also find that zero UTB firms both with and without tax haven operations are subject to less IRS scrutiny than positive UTB firms. Overall, although zero UTB firms are generally less complex, our results suggest that a subset may warrant further scrutiny.

Seemingly Self-Sabotaging Disclosures
Authors: Arya Anil , Ramanan Ram N. V.
Published: December 2024

Firm disclosures are observed by multiple audiences with diverse interests. Recognizing this practical feature, studies have examined how conflicting incentives provided by the multiple recipients of the information affect disclosure outcomes. Understandably, studies have not examined scenarios wherein disclosure incentives from recipients align in the same direction. With aligned incentives, disclosure incentives are presumably “additive.” This paper challenges such thinking. We model a firm that faces a potential entrant and a scrutinizing regulator so each individually incentivizes the firm to withhold favorable market news. However, we show that their joint presence can drastically change the disclosure equilibrium: the firm may voluntarily disclose good news seemingly in self-sabotage. Such disclosures attract entry, compelling the firm to yield its monopoly position. However, by ceding market power, the firm boosts consumer surplus and soothes regulatory concerns. The ensuing reduction in regulatory costs borne by the firm can then increase the firm’s overall value.

Objective: To investigate the association of timing of commencing glucose management with glycemia, glycemic variability, and pregnancy outcomes among women with early gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Research Design and Methods: A sub-study among participants of a trial of immediate vs delayed treatment of early GDM diagnosed by WHO-2013 criteria. All women treated immediately and those with delayed diagnosis at 24-28 weeks’ (treated as if late GDM) were instructed to monitor capillary blood glucose (BG) 4 times/day (fasting and 2-h post-prandial) until delivery. Optimal glycemia was defined as ≥95% of BG measurements between 70-140mg/dl (3.9-7.8mmol/l).

Results: Overall, 107,716 BG values were obtained from 329/549 (59.9%) women (mean age 32.3±4.9years, BMI 32.0±8.0kg/m2, 35% European, gestation at GDM diagnosis 15.2±2.4weeks’). Women treated early (n=213) showed lower mean glucose (MG) and mean fasting glucose (MFG) compared with those treated late (n=116) (MG:5.7±0.4 vs. 5.9±0.5, p<0.001, MFG:5.2±0.3 vs. 5.3±0.4, p=0.004) with greater optimal glycemia (74.6% vs. 59.5%, p=0.006) and similar glycemic variability. The MG was similar from 30 weeks’ gestation. Overall, optimal glycemia was achieved in 69% of women and associated with lower birthweight, decreased large-for-gestational-age infants (14.4% vs. 26.7%, p=0.01) along with increased small-for-gestational-age infants (15.3% vs. 5.9%, p=0.02) and lower gestational weight gain (4.9±6.4 vs. 7.6±6.2kg, p=0.001). Suboptimal glycemia was associated with non-European ethnicity, prior GDM, 1-hour glucose at booking oral glucose tolerance test, and insulin use.

Conclusions: Both early and delayed treatment of early GDM resulted in similar glycemia toward the end of pregnancy; early treatment was associated with improved glycemia overall.

Published: December 2024

This research evaluates a pH-shifting and drying process for producing powdered protein products from yellow and green peas (Pisum sativum L.), aiming to enhance their technological characteristics. In the precipitation stage, lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus lantarum and Lactobacillus lactis) served as a generally recognized safe precipitant agent. The fine fraction (<150 µm) from yellow and green peas milling acted as an encapsulant/adjuvant agent in the drying stage. Results showed high process productivity (0.41–0.51 kg protein product/kg pea flour) and low specific water consumption (52.58–62.39 kg water/kg protein product) with this approach. Variations in processing parameters affected protein content, yield, and specific water consumption. Significant differences were observed in wetting time, water activity, flowability (Carr index), cohesiveness (Hausner index), density, particle size, and colour of the protein products, depending on the processing alternatives. This flexibility allows tailoring the properties of the powdered protein product for various food technology applications.

The enigma of unintentional racial microaggressions
Authors: McCann Malik , Tudor Keith
Published: December 2024

Unintentional racial and cultural microaggressions towards indigenous and minority peoples while injurious to recipients, are characteristically not recognised by the perpetrator and when challenged, are often not able to be met with curiosity or the capacity for reflection. The difference in racial and cultural realities exposed in these encounters can lead to breakdowns in recognition and polarising dynamics which perpetuate structural oppression. They also represent missed opportunities for greater understanding of the ways socially sanctioned norms, assumptions and beliefs reinforce the implicit positioning of self and other as racial and cultural objects. Through consideration of the societal, interpersonal and intrapsychic aspects of the first author’s experience through heuristic enquiry (supervised by the second author), we consider unintentional racial microaggressive encounters and challenges as the observable outcome of implicit racialisation into colonial society. This article presents some discussion and implications for the discipline or profession of psychotherapy.
Processing biculturalism
Authors: Shackley Evelyn
Published: December 2024

This article reflects upon the author’s exploration of her process as an overseas trained psychotherapist who was born in Aotearoa New Zealand and has returned after many years away. The author reflects upon her recent encounters with the cultural history of Aotearoa New Zealand as she returns to this country and commences her clinical practice here. Woven throughout the author’s writing is her processing of her cultural learning experiences, and the implications this might have for her clinical work. In doing so the author draws on historians such as Anne Salmond, and psychotherapeutic theorists such as Jung, Winnicott, and Klein.
Internal and external destructiveness
Authors: O'Connor John
Published: December 2024

Stekel (1910/1967) suggests, “no one kills himself who has never wanted to kill another or at least wished the death of another” (cited in Bell, 2001, p. 24). In this paper, I will suggest that such inner destructiveness, if not murderousness, is reflected not only in the inner world of suicide but also in the microcosm of so many clinical presentations, be it, for example, relentless self-harm, the cruelty of emotional self-attack, the intrapsychic hatred of eating disorders, or the violence we perpetrate on ourselves, others, and the natural world. In the public sphere, such inner cruelty is further made manifest in Aotearoa’s tragic suicide statistics, horrific attacks on public figures, particularly when they reveal vulnerability, and cross-cultural attacks in relation to ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. These inner dynamics are further reflected in the macrocosm of interlinked global threats of the human-induced climate crisis, the threat of nuclear war, and the pandemic, in which psyche is writ large. Yet there is a profound absence in public discourse of reflection on the violence of our inner worlds, and how these cruel dynamics are replayed clinically, interpersonally, cross-culturally, and globally, generating destructive and murderous impulses and actions.
I will draw on a range of psychoanalytic and Jungian theoretical lenses in an exploration of the nature of inner destructiveness, and its manifestation, within both the clinician and the patient, and how this inner destructiveness also manifests in wider societal and global destructive dynamics. I will weave personal and composite fictional clinical vignettes to illustrate these ideas, and will conclude my paper with an exploration of how surrender to intrapsychic deaths, including surrender to the inevitable and painful mourning such surrender requires, might facilitate the emergence of more creative and life-giving responses, within ourselves as clinicians, within our psychotherapeutic relationships with patients, and in the cross-cultural and global communities and natural environments with which we are embedded, and within which life-giving responses are so crucially required.

Published: December 2024

Kinerja pesawat tanpa awak atau unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sangat dipengaruhi oleh gaya dorong propeller, yang secara langsung memengaruhi daya angkat pesawat di udara. Gaya dorong propeller pada UAV ini dikenal juga dengan gaya thrust. Berbagai faktor, seperti dimensi, desain propeller, daya mesin UAV, dan kondisi pengoperasian, memengaruhi gaya thrust yang dihasilkan. Oleh karena itu, penelitian dengan membandingkan kinerja propeller sangat penting untuk mengetahui gaya thrust terbaik yang mampu dicapai. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis kinerja propeller dengan perhitungan teoritis pada variasi pitch propeller 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (Inch) dengan diameter propeller 16 Inch. Perhitungan teoritis didasarkan pada konsep gaya dan perubahan momentum fluida yang melewati propeller. Perhitungan teoritis tersebut divalidasi oleh eksperimen pengujian thrust dengan metode Ground Test pada propeller 16x10 (Diameter x Pitch Propeller) untuk mengetahui kesesuaian perhitungan teoritis dengan eksperimen. Eksperimen dilakukan pada rangkaian uji thrust  dengan mesin UAV pada variasi putaran mesin 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000 (Rpm). Validasi ini berguna untuk memastikan bahwa model perhitungan yang digunakan dapat merepresentasikan kondisi nyata di lapangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa thrust tertinggi dihasilkan pada propeller dengan pitch 12 inch dengan putaran mesin 7000 Rpm, yaitu sebesar 5,1358 Kgf. Data keseluruhan menjelaskan bahwa pada peningkatan pitch propeller dan putaran mesin menunjukkan adanya kenaikan gaya thrust yang dihasilkan. Pitch propeller dapat berpengaruh terhadap thrust yang dihasilkan karena mampu meningkatkan sudut serang setiap bilah terhadap aliran udara. Sudut serang yang lebih besar ini memungkinkan propeller memindahkan lebih banyak udara dalam setiap putaran. Demikian juga dengan putaran mesin yang meningkat akan memperkuat dorongan setiap propeller terhadap udara sekeliling yang dilaluinya.

In the context of establishing businesses in a new region, neglecting environmental orientation may lead to the omission of crucial motives for entrepreneurs’ migration and the subsequent course of their businesses. This present study aims to investigate the effect of green space quality (GSQ), green campaign (GC), and green attitude (GA) on green entrepreneurship pioneering intention (GEPI). Further, national pride (NP) was added as a moderator. This study utilized a cross-sectional approach using a survey method targeting small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners who will be relocated to the new capital city. Partial least square structural equation modeling was employed in the data analysis. The results revealed that GSQ, GC, and GA positively influence GEPI. Also, NP moderates the positive influences of GC and GA on GEPI. Entrepreneurs were motivated to pioneer green entrepreneurship in the new region due to environmental factors. Furthermore, their nationalism reinforces the connection between environmental motivations and the aspirations to undertake such pioneering endeavors. The findings present valuable insights for governments to formulate policies that encourage entrepreneurs to migrate internally and establish new economic nodes. Further, the results demonstrate how nationalism encourages green business pioneering endeavors in an untapped market.

Published: December 2024

considering the rate of the currency channel, this study aims to analyze the effect of government foreign debt on labour demand in Indonesia. The Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) is used to quantify the exchange rate, while estimates of the labour force participation rate characterize labour demand. this study expands upon the cobb-Douglass production function by including public debt as an integral element of the statistical model. The current study examines time series data from 1994 to 2022 and uses the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) for estimation. in conclusion, the results suggest that an increase in government external debt would result in a decline in labour demand, especially during economic shock associated with an expansion of the government deficit. Moreover, the Real Effective Exchange Rate has a beneficial long-term impact on labour demand. enhancing the purchasing power and stimulating investment through the appreciation of the domestic currency against foreign currencies will consequently increase economic productivity.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to examine the impact of an innovative self-directed professional development (SDPD) model on fostering teachers’ professional development and improving their ability to manage this development independently. A quantitative research method was adopted, involving 60 participants from Almaty State Humanitarian and Pedagogical College No. 2, Almaty, Kazakhstan. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to assess the SDPD model’s effectiveness, specifically in promoting teacher engagement, adoption of new pedagogical techniques, and improvement in reflective practices. The study findings reveal that teachers, particularly in developing regions, often face challenges in accessing formal professional development programs. The implementation of the SDPD model addresses these barriers by providing teachers with the tools and strategies required for self-improvement, regardless of geographic or economic constraints. The study participants in the pilot phase showed increased engagement with new pedagogical methods, improved reflective practices, and greater adaptability to emerging educational technologies. The algorithmic aspect of the model streamlined the professional development process, while the activity-based approach ensured that learning remained practical and relevant to teachers’ everyday needs. By offering a clear framework for continuous improvement, the model addresses the gaps in formal training access and cultivates a culture of lifelong learning. These findings suggest that the SDPD model can contribute to elevating teaching standards globally, particularly in regions with limited professional development resources.

Published: December 2024

Poverty is a major challenge caused by various situations as well as cultural, social, economic, and political interactions. Therefore, poverty alleviation programs and strategies require an integrated approach carried out in consistent and organized stages. It required the participation of all parties, both regional heads, Regional People’s Representative Assembly (RPRA) members, entrepreneurs, and other elements of society. This study aimed to investigate the effect of local spending efficiency on public welfare in Indonesia, using a quantitative and explanatory method. The analysis method used in this study is the panel data regression model. The research population in all provinces in Indonesia was 34 provinces, and a purposive sampling method was used, where a total of 26 provinces were selected. The research period is 2017–2021. The efficiency of local spending (education, health, and infrastructure) is estimated using the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) cost function approach. The results showed that the higher the efficiency of education spending, the more it will increase public welfare in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the health spending efficiency and the infrastructure spending efficiency do not affect public welfare. The implications of this study for the development of science are that the efficient allocation of education spending will be able to improve the quality of education which is a long-term solution to overcome poverty in Indonesia and for policymakers to be able to optimize education spending to achieve the expected educational goals.

A (im)possibilidade de desconstituição da filiação socioafetiva à luz dos Tribunais e ao Superior Tribunal de Justiça
Authors: Barp Tais Fatima , Schmidt Jandir Ademar
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo tem por finalidade analisar a viabilidade jurídica da (im)possibilidade de desconstituição da paternidade socioafetiva à luz das interpretações doutrinárias e jurisprudenciais. Para isso, foram explorados aspectos como o conceito e a evolução histórica da filiação, destacando a influência da afetividade no reconhecimento da paternidade socioafetiva e sua valorização nas relações familiares. Ademais, realizou-se uma análise da concepção jurídica atual sobre filiação e de como o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro tem tratado a desvinculação desse tipo de paternidade nos dias atuais. O estudo adota uma abordagem descritiva, com revisão bibliográfica, e utiliza o método dedutivo ao propor uma reflexão a partir de princípios jurídicos estabelecidos. A paternidade socioafetiva refere-se ao vínculo formado entre um indivíduo e uma criança com base no afeto e no cuidado, independentemente de laços biológicos. Nesse contexto, tanto a doutrina quanto a jurisprudência têm reconhecido a crescente relevância desse tipo de paternidade para o bem-estar da criança, o que resulta na prevalência da proteção à prole e na impossibilidade de desconstituição da paternidade socioafetiva, devido aos prejuízos que tal medida poderia causar ao menor.

Authors: Abrami G. , Varrica A. , Hafdhullah M. , Reali M. , Lo Rito M. , Torchio F. , Giamberti A. , Tarus A.
Published: December 2024

Background and Aim:

Konno-Rastan procedure involves enlargement of aortic annulus to accommodate larger prosthetic valve, improving hemodynamics and reducing patient-prosthesis mismatch. This study aims to evaluate mid-term and echocardiographic results.

Methods:

This study retrospectively examined outcomes in 21 patients, aged 5 to 49 years, between February 2015 and June 2023. Patients were followed for a median of 2.6 years (IQR:1-5 years). The primary outcomes assessed included survival rates, early morbidity, reintervention, mid-term results and echocardiographic status.

Results:

Median age was 23years (IQR:14-36.7), median BSA 1.67m2 (IQR:1.46- 1.8). Eleven were female. Seventeen (81%) had previous procedures, including one balloon valvuloplasty. Average aortic annulus size was 18 mm, mean transvalvular gradient was 47mmHg.Mechanical valves were implanted in 20 patients, one patient receiving biological valve; the average size of the prosthetic valves was 21 mm. Three patients required concomitant surgical procedures. Median CPB time was 140 minutes (IQR:115-178), median aortic cross-clamp time was 110 minutes (IQR:91-138). There were no procedure-related mortalities, no patients experienced major arrhythmias or heart blocks postoperatively. Freedom from reintervention rate was 96% at both 1 year and 5 years and only one requiring a reoperation due to prosthetic valve detachment two months after the procedure for endocarditis. Mean transvalvular gradient at the most recent follow-up was 13mmHg.

Conclusion:

The Konno procedure is a highly effective option for patients with a small aortic annulus, offering encouraging long-term outcomes. Its strategic incisions optimize exposure and facilitate annulus enlargement, significantly improving hemodynamics. Procedure’s success highlights importance of precise surgical techniques to minimize complications, such as conduction system and coronary injuries, ensuring it remains a reliable choice for complex aortic valve replacements.

Their understanding of the law is intimately connected to the advancement of a law-governed China, underscoring the importance of fostering legal awareness among university students in contemporary times. Utilizing empirical research, this paper delves into the efficacy of the inquiry-based instructional approach in enhancing the legal consciousness of students. In a higher education institution in Hainan, first-year nursing students were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control cohort. The experimental group received instruction through the inquiry method, contrasting with the traditional teaching method used for the control group. The educational experiment spanned a period of five weeks. Data were gathered via surveys, discussions, and classroom observations, with the SPSS program employed for the quantitative analysis of data, encompassing descriptive statistics, t-tests, and analysis of variance. The findings indicate a marked enhancement in the legal literacy of the experimental group post-experiment, with a statistically significant distinction observed between the experimental and control groups. The paper advances a suite of pedagogical strategies grounded in empirical analysis, with the goal of refining the implementation of the inquiry method in legal education and offering targeted recommendations for institutions of higher learning, educators, and students.

Authors: Sun Diying
Published: December 2024

In today’s increasingly popular sports, more and more scholars are focusing on the use of intelligent ways to further enhance the effectiveness of sports and competitions. In this paper, we use the LSTM network model to extract the sports characteristics of sports athletes, introduce the graph neural network GNN model to realize the spatial and temporal interaction design in the prediction of sports trajectory, and finally output the sports trajectory prediction model through the LSTM decoder module. Meanwhile, based on the trajectory prediction results and the optimization objectives and constraints of the sports trajectory, the sports path planning model is established using the quadratic planning model. The testing of the model found that its motion trajectory prediction model performance improved accuracy and EAO by 22.50% and 35.47%, respectively, compared to the baseline method. In addition, the model is able to accurately predict athletes’ movement trajectories in empirical analysis and can provide reasonable and optimal movement paths for soccer players. The model proposed in this paper can provide athletes with technical improvements and trajectory optimization solutions and formulate targeted training plans to strengthen theoretical guidance for sports athletes. The model can be improved and applied to real sports competitions in future research.

Emotion recognition, as a hot topic in human-computer interaction, is now widely used in the field of education, which provides teachers with real-time teaching feedback through emotion computation. Physical behavior is one of the main means for humans to express emotions. This paper proposes to combine a temporal segmented sampling network (TSN) and spatiotemporal graph convolutional network (STGCN) to construct a dual-stream feature model to describe the spatiotemporal characteristics of physical behavior. The performance of the model was tested on 192 volunteers, and it was found that the TSN+STGCN model had the highest recognition rate in the NM (97.31%), BG (88.22%), and CL (78.95%) conditions compared to the CNN model and STGCN model. The angle of recognition for emotional recognition will affect the recognition rate, which is reflected in the fact that the closer the angle of recognition is to 90°, the worse the recognition rate is. In the six emotion recognition tests, the TSN+STGCN model can completely recognize the anger and sadness emotions; the happy emotion (98.18%) has the highest recognition accuracy, and the shocked emotion (73.91%) has the lowest recognition accuracy. The model was tested in a classroom as an example, and it was found that the number of students with positive emotions under a certain moment was higher, and the students’ mood fluctuation ladder line within the classroom also provided a basis for teachers to judge the students’ learning status within the classroom.

This paper studies and analyzes the communication strategy of news and information short videos. It looks at the weights of each element in the communication strategy of short news videos from the point of view of the 4I theory of network-integrated marketing and builds an optimization path for the communication strategy of short news videos using the hierarchical analysis method. The weight order of content narrative (0.4128) > user motivation satisfaction (0.3219) > multiple interactions (0.1334) > user behavior (0.1319) was obtained. The optimization path of the 4I communication strategy showed a significant positive correlation (P<0.05) with four aspects: account fan volume, account live broadcasting situation, number of comments on the video work, and the account fan base. By adhering to positive and positive reporting themes and creating news genres with form, the 4-aspect strategy can transform the media image online.
Statistical Modeling Analysis of the Relationship between Player Performance and Winning and Losing in Sporting Football Games

Published: December 2024

The continuous development of big data technology makes data acquisition and organization easier and faster than before, and predicting the results of sports games through data mining algorithms has become a hot research direction. In this paper, crawler technology is used to collect data on players’ performance, game scores, wins, and losses in sports soccer games. Once the data has been pre-processed, the key player performance features are identified through a stepwise regression method, and the gray correlation coefficient and weighted gray correlation degree of dimensionless data are calculated. Finally, based on the gray correlation coefficient between player performance and match score and the SHAP model, a prediction model for the win and loss of soccer matches was constructed. The study shows that there is a strong correlation between the performance of players and the winners and losers in soccer matches, and the SHAP model has good applicability to the complex non-linear relationship between the performance statistics of players and the winners and losers in soccer matches, and the prediction accuracy can reach 91.6%. This paper provides certain decision support for the tactical formulation and execution scenarios of teams in soccer matches and lays the foundation for the research direction in the field of competitive sports in the prediction of match results.
Integrated use of three physical exploration methods in open-pit coal mining surveys- A case study

Published: December 2024

In an exploration study of the slope of an open-pit mine, three geophysical methods were employed: transient electromagnetic method, background noise method, and seismic reflection method. Detailed surveys were conducted on the northern, southern, and western slopes. The three methods collectively identified multiple fracture zones and water-rich areas in the roof of coal seam 5. The results revealed significant fracturing and water content in the northern and southern slopes, while the western slope remained relatively intact. Active source seismic exploration made it clear what the coal seams 5 and 6 were made of in terms of seismic wave group characteristics. This matched up with the supplementary exploration report’s information on how the mining area was spread out. The geological information on rock mass indices and fracture degrees provided in the supplementary exploration report was effectively complemented by geophysical techniques. The anomalies identified by the three methods showed substantial overlap. The study indicates that the rock mass in the mining area is predominantly soft rock, which softens and disintegrates easily when exposed to water, thereby affecting slope stability. It is recommended to optimize the drilling layout based on geophysical results to provide prerequisites for slope stability monitoring and management.

During the development of Chinese traditional martial arts, most of them have been passed down from master to disciple in the form of oral hand-to-hand transmission, which makes it difficult for most of them to be “standardized” and regulated. The digital characteristics of Bajiquan movements are explored using motion capture technology in this paper. The 3D Suit equipment is used to collect the position and rotation angle of the human body, and the collected data are processed by quaternion, Euler angle, and Kalman filtering to get the research data without interfering with information. After analysis of the results, there is a significant difference between the traditional training mode and the data-driven mode in the four dimensions of the stance of the Bajiquan Hammer Bracing Movement, indicating that the data-driven method is more effective in optimizing the Bajiquan movement. This study can help martial arts enthusiasts master the technical fundamentals of Bajiquan more quickly, which is crucial for the preservation and advancement of Chinese martial arts.
