Published: August 2024

This study aims to examine the impact of asset quality on the financial health of commercial banks in Cambodia. Using an explanatory approach with panel data analysis, the research analyzes annual data from 2017 to 2023 for 57 commercial banks, sourced from the National Bank of Cambodia. The analysis explores the effects of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs), Bank Size, Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Interest Rates, Inflation Rate, and GDP Growth on Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). Diagnostic tests for heteroskedasticity, serial correlation, multicollinearity, and model specification are employed to ensure the robustness of the results. The findings indicate that NPLs significantly negatively impact both ROA and ROE, while Bank Size positively influences ROE but does not significantly affect ROA. CAR has a negative impact on both profitability metrics, suggesting that higher capital ratios reduce profitability due to increased capital costs. Interest Rates and Inflation Rate also show significant negative effects on ROA and ROE, whereas GDP Growth positively impacts both measures. To enhance financial health and performance, Cambodian commercial banks should focus on improving credit risk management, optimizing CAR, developing strategies to manage interest rate and inflation risks, and leveraging economic growth. These measures will strengthen financial health, improve performance metrics, and contribute to a more stable banking sector in Cambodia.

Authors: Estrada-Araoz Edwin Gustavo , Gallegos-Ramos Néstor Antonio , Huamaní-Pérez María Isabel , Malaga-Yllpa Yasser , Quispe-Aquise Jhemy
Published: August 2024

Background: This research is predictive and aims to determine if psychological distress predicts emotional exhaustion in a sample of university students from the Peruvian Amazon. Methods: The study employed a quantitative approach with a non-experimental predictive cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 163 students who completed the Psychological Distress Scale and the Emotional Exhaustion Scale, both instruments with adequate levels of validity and reliability. Results: Initially, it was found that the predominant level of psychological distress and emotional exhaustion was moderate. Furthermore, it was determined that both variables correlated directly and significantly (r= 0.549; p<0.05). Additionally, simple linear regression analysis demonstrated a good fit of the model (F= 117.055; p<0.05), where psychological distress (β= 0.549; p<0.05) explained 29.8% of the total variance in emotional exhaustion. Conclusions: It was concluded that psychological distress predicts emotional exhaustion in a sample of university students from the Peruvian Amazon. This suggests that higher levels of psychological distress are directly associated with increased levels of emotional exhaustion among university students. Therefore, it is recommended to develop psychological and emotional support programs within universities, focusing on coping techniques and stress reduction tailored to the cultural and environmental specificities of the context.

Authors: FLEISCHER YANNIK , PODWORNY SUSANNE , BIEHLER ROLF
Published: August 2024

This study investigates how 11- to 12-year-old students construct data-based decision trees using data cards for classification purposes. We examine the students' heuristics and reasoning during this process. The research is based on an eight-week teaching unit during which students labeled data, built decision trees, and assessed them using test data. They learned to manually construct decision trees to classify food items as recommendable or not. They utilized data cards with a heuristic that is a simplified form of a machine learning algorithm. We report on evidence that this topic is teachable to middle school students, along with insights for refining our teaching approach and broader implications for teaching machine learning at the school level.

Studies in the field of disability focus on the disabled person and his/her welfare. However, it is also important to reveal and develop the capacities of the people and systems that the disabled person interacts with, based on a holistic approach in the field of disability and the approach of the individual in his/her environment. In this context, it is thought that studies to be conducted with family members who spend a large part of their time with the disabled person and provide care to the disabled person will contribute to the welfare of disabled individuals and the field of disability. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the demographic and social characteristics of family members who provide care to the disabled person and their burden of care. The study was designed with a quantitative research design. The sample of the study consists of 263 caregivers residing in a province of Turkey and benefiting from home care support. Within the scope of the study, the "Burden of Caregiving Scale" (Burden Interview) developed by Zarit, Reever and Bach-Peterson and validated for the Turkish population by Erdem and İnci in 2007 was used.

Published: August 2024

In this study, the constructs of isolation problem are discussed within the context of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), particularly in terms of how children on the autism spectrum may experience this problem in different social conditions. Difficulty establishing relationships may be reason of loneliness in these children, meanwhile the experience of loneliness may also be affected by diversity of them, as cognitive function, self-perception, social awareness, and ability to understand emotional states. The loneliness and diversity of the children can be main cause for their isolation by others. To explore these concepts, we present findings from the extant literature, study materials regarding how the family of children with ASD live various situations.
ASD is a difficult condition to understand even for families who experience this condition firsthand. As individuals in society encounter a different situation that they do not know, children's different behaviors may cause them to be afraid, hesitant and angry. For this reason, families should go shopping, eat out and participate in many activities in society with their children, both to educate their children about appropriate behavior in social environments and to change the society's attitudes towards different individuals, in a way to educate the society about different individuals (Siff Excorn, 2005).; Wall, 2010).
The potential negative impacts of isolation by other children and adults, also family factor is discussed. The study concludes with suggestions for prevention and intervention to facilitate social relationships and thereby reduce the potential for development of isolation and other negative outcomes.

Published: August 2024

The present study was undertaken to investigate the productive and reproductive performance of native sheep at the research farm and farmer level in hilly areas of Naikhongchari. For that purpose, on the research farm, the ewes were mated with rams in a 15-20:1 ratio following a natural-controlled breeding program. All of the ewes and rams were kept in a permanently structured house with a slatted floor that was raised above the ground and provided them with ample space for feeling comfortable. The sheep were given 6-7 hours of grazing time, and concentrate (17% CP, 11 MJ/kg DM) was provided twice daily. Regular vaccinations, dipping, and deworming were performed. At the farmer level, breeding strategies were not followed strictly. The lambs were weighed at birth, and each lamb's lambing date and sex were recorded and mostly kept under semi-intensive conditions. Most of the sheep farmers supply a small amount of wheat bran and broken rice to their sheep early in the morning and evening, and the rest of the day they allow their sheep to graze on the hill. The sheep were hardly immunized against common sheep diseases. The birth weight of both the male lamb and female lamb was 1.27 kg, 1.23 kg higher than the community conditions of 1.09 kg and 1.08 kg. The weaning weight for male lamb was 5.14 kg and female lamb was 4.86 kg in the research farm, while the weaning weight of male and female lamb was 4.32 kg and 4.15 kg, respectively, at the farmer level.

A non-Bayesian approach to parameter estimation, statistical inference and decision-making are discussed and compared. A pragmatic criterion, success in practice, as well as logical consistency is emphasized in comparing alternative approaches. In this study, attention is given to skew distribution for modelling lifetime data in particular: the Marshall Olkin Alpha Power Inverse Exponential (MOAPIE) distribution. Parameters of the distribution were estimated using non-Bayesian estimation methods of Maximum Likelihood Estimation, Least Square Estimation and Weighted Least Square Estimation. Finally, simulated and real life data applications illustrate the performance of the estimation methods.

This paper examined the factors of work environment influencing employee job turnover intentions within selected oil and gas firms in Nigeria. The study population is all 696 employees of three selected oil companies in Nigeria. The Taro Yamane formula was used to determine the sample of the study. A sample size of 254 employees was taken from the population as study participants, of which only 250 employees correctly filled the questionnaire. A structured questionnaire was employed to collect data in the study. The questionnaire measured organizational commitment, job stress, organizational justice, and alternative job opportunities. Data obtained was analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (PPMC) to test for the relationship between variables. The findings reveal that flexible working environment, organizational commitment, and organizational justice, had a significant positive influence on employee turnover intention while job stress had a negative influence on employee turnover intentions. It was therefore recommended that firms should promote flexible work policies, implement stress reduction measures, and uphold fair and just organizational practices.
Justiça Ambiental e Direitos Indígenas: Um Debate Filosófico sobre o Garantismo e Identidade Étnica
Authors: Silva Diego Alves da
Published: August 2024

Este artigo explora a interseção entre filosofia, direitos indígenas e garantismo no contexto brasileiro, com base no paradigma do garantismo proposto por Ferrajoli. Abarcando direitos territoriais, culturais e ambientais das comunidades indígenas contra intervenções injustificadas do Estado e interesses econômicos. Destacamos, também, a importância do garantismo na proteção dos direitos indígenas, argumentando que o Estado deve ampliar seu poder para garantir a autonomia das comunidades sobre suas terras e recursos naturais.  Outro viés abordado pela pesquisa foi o exame acerca da autodeterminação como sendo fundamental para a preservação da identidade étnica e cultural indígena; permitindo que as comunidades controlem seus próprios destinos dentro do quadro legal estabelecido pela Constituição de 1988. A problemática central questiona se o garantismo identitário promovido pelo Estado é eficaz na justiça ambiental e na defesa dos direitos indígenas. O objetivo principal é demonstrar como o garantismo pode ser aplicado para proteger a autonomia das comunidades indígenas sobre suas terras e recursos naturais, garantindo sua autodeterminação e preservação cultural. A relevância do tema é destacada pela urgência de salvaguardar os direitos indígenas em um contexto de constantes desafios políticos e econômicos. Este estudo contribui significativamente para o debate sobre direitos indígenas ao propor uma abordagem que reforça a participação dessas comunidades em processos decisórios, promovendo uma sociedade mais justa, democrática e sustentável. Metodologicamente, o artigo utiliza uma pesquisa bibliográfica qualitativa, analisando obras acadêmicas e outras fontes teóricas para discutir criticamente o tema abordado.

Complementary therapies are important in nursing interventions to promote sleep and reduce blood pressure. This study used a true experimental pre-test post-test control group design. Sixty participants were selected using simple random sampling through the lottery method. PSQI was used to assess the quality of sleep among the participants through a structured interview. The experimental group received eight cycles of foot reflexology for 20 minutes weekly twice. The study showed that there was a significant decrease in the mean systolic blood pressure from 150.73±14.51 in the pre-test to 132.57±13.17 in the post-test, which was statistically significant at p-value <0.001 (z value -4.793). There was also a significant decrease in the mean diastolic blood pressure from 87.10±3.73 in the pre-test to 74.83±4.33 in the post-test, which was statistically significant at p-value <0.001(z value -4.790). Furthermore, there was a significant increase in the mean quality of sleep from 7.03±2.88 in the pre-test to 3.23±1.92 in the post-test, which was statistically significant at p- value <0.001(z value -4.243). In conclusion, foot reflexology can significantly reduce blood pressure and improve the quality of sleep among elderly people with hypertension residing in old age homes.
