Authors: Pilenza Davide , Filippi Andreas , Walter Clemens , U. Zitzmann Nicola , M. Bornstein Michael , Kühl Sebastian
Published: June 2024

This case series retrospectively investigated the one-year surgical outcome of regenerative peri-implantitis therapy using a hydroxyapatite (HA) bone substitute material in combination with enamel matrix derivate (EMD) and collagen membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR). Data-sheets of patients were screened to detect patients who received identical regenerative peri-implantitis-therapy with surface decontamination and GBR applying HA, EMD and a collagen membrane under broad-spectrum antibiotic regime. For inclusion, information on pre- and postoperative clinical and radiographic parameters (probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), suppuration (SUPP) and the radiological bone level (RBL)) had to be available for statistical analysis. Data of a total of 11 patients (20 implants) were extracted out of 202 (336). All implants were still in function after one year. Bone defects decreased by an average of 1.3 mm mesially and 0.9 mm distally, respectively. Mean PPD was reduced from 4.9 mm to 2.7 mm. BOP decreased from 90% to 20%. Suppuration decreased from 65% to 0%. Based on the success criteria applied, 15 of the 20 (75%) implants included were considered as successfully treated after 1 year. Regenerative peri-implantitis therapy according to the presented concept showed promising clinical and radiographic outcomes after one year. To estimate the beneficial effects of the combined use of HA, EMD and collagen membranes, further long-term investigations with a control group are needed.
Survey on the prevalence of occupational injuries to the head and teeth in automotive repair and maintenance in Switzerland
Authors: Berli Constantin , Reichardt Elisabeth , Filippi Andreas
Published: June 2024

Automotive mechanics are exposed to an increased risk for occupational injuries (OI) to the hands, arms, head and teeth. The aim of this study was to assess the self-reported prevalence of OIs to the head, including traumatic dental injuries (TDIs), among automotive repair and maintenance workers dealing with motorcycles, cars and vehicles over 3.5 tons. We surveyed healthy mechanics in Swiss automotive repair workshops from 2019 to 2021. Overall, 121 automotive repair and maintenance workers responded to our 12-item questionnaire concerning their professional experience, protective measures and occupational injuries to the head and teeth (response rate: 12%). 119 were considered eligible for inclusion and two were excluded. Most persons surveyed (94%) were males with more than 10 years of professional experience. Eighty-five (72%) reported occupational injuries in general, 37 (43.5%) specified OIs to the head or tooth area, and 16 stipulated that these cases teeth were affected. The most common self-reported diagnosis was tooth fracture (p=0.191). Traumatic dental injury in childhood increased the odds ratio (OR) for occupational injury to the head or teeth by a factor of 2.4 (95% CI: 1.1, 5.5, p=0.036). Age, gender and dental trauma in childhood may also influence the prevalence of occupational injuries in general in this cohort. We conclude that occupational dental accidents in automotive repair workshops can be reduced by raising awareness of this issue and by taking effective preventive measures.
The Utility of Salivary Heme to Stratify Healthy Volunteers from Individuals with Gingivitis and Periodontitis: a Pilot Study
Authors: Sreenivasan Prem K. , Nandlal Bhojraj , Aruna Ganganna , Madhunapantula S. , McBain Andrew J.
Published: June 2024

Gingival bleeding due to poor oral hygiene is reported globally. Assessment of blood in saliva may improve diagnostics, serve as an outcome measure in clinical trials and support patient education through point-of-care tests. This work analyzed salivary heme using a rapid test format and separately using a lateral flow immunoassay assay [LF] for chair-side implementation. Clinical examinations stratified adult subjects into healthy, gingivitis or periodontitis groups at baseline. Healthy subjects presented no periodontal pockets and whole mouth gingivitis scores of less than 1.0.  Gingivitis subjects registered gingival index scores greater than 1.0.  Included in the periodontal disease group were subjects with periodontal pockets greater than 4 mm.  The rapid test is based on the peroxidase activity salivary heme converting a colourless probe to a coloured compound for spectrophotometric analysis.  For the LF assay, saliva was placed in the test window of the device with reactions scored after room temperature incubation.  Average salivary heme concentrations in the healthy, gingivitis and periodontal disease groups were 27, 201 and 326 nM respectively, by the rapid test, representing significant differences by analysis of variance and Tukey’s-multiple comparison tests (p<0.05).  Similarly, results in the LF assay demonstrated increasing band intensity from the healthy to the periodontal disease groups and was quantifiable by image analysis.   This pilot study emphasizes the potential efficacy of rapid heme measurement in investigations of oral health.
The erosive effect of various drinks, foods, stimulants, medications and mouthwashes on human tooth enamel
Authors: Lussi Adrian , Megert Brigitte , Shellis R. Peter
Published: June 2024

Two forms of non-carious dental disorder - erosive tooth hard tissue loss and dental erosion - have been increasingly observed in recent years. Dental erosion is the chemical loss of dental hard substances caused by exposure to acids not derived from oral bacteria. Mechanical forces from, for example, the tongue, the cheeks or toothbrushing, increase loss of partly-demineralized tooth surfaces and the cumulative loss of dental hard tissue is defined as erosive tooth wear (ETW). Dental hard tissue losses which occur because of very frequent acid exposure, such as through increased vomiting, but without mechanical stress, are also assigned to tooth erosion. Without prior softening, practically no loss of enamel takes place due to abrasion with the modern Western diet. The present work is a continuation of earlier work. A total of 226 beverages, food, stimulants as well as medicines and mouthwashes were tested for their erosive potential on premolars and deciduous molars covered with a human pellicle. The influence of temperature, phosphate and calcium was also investigated in additional experiments. The change in hardness before and after immersion in the respective test substance was measured and the erosive potential was classified. For each test product, we determined pH and other properties which were possibly related to erosive potential. There were considerable and sometimes surprising differences between the tested products. The addition of phosphate did not influence the erosive potential of the liquids, but calcium did. A modified erosion scheme is presented, which incorporates these and other new findings.

Published: June 2024

This evaluation assessed the influence of a new implant shoulder design on cleanability using a now established in-vitro study model.
Eight test (Botticelli, Di Meliora AG, Basel, Switzerland) and eight control implants (T3 Osseotite, ZimVie, Winterthur, Switzerland), were embedded in standardized defects in simulated bone. The implant surfaces were painted to be visually distinguishable and debrided with ultrasonic instruments (US) and an air powder waterjet device (AIR). Uncleaned implants served as positive controls. After the standardized cleaning, the implants were photographed and divided into three zones (upper marginal shoulder zone (A); lower marginal shoulder zone (B); fully threaded sub-shoulder zone (C)), and analyzed with an image processing software.
On test implants, AIR was almost 100% efficacious compared to 80-90% with US, in both upper zones (A/B). In control implants, results of both AIR and US were almost 100% in zone A, but only 55-75% in zone B. In both implants, AIR showed statistically significant higher efficacy than US (P<0.05).
Within the limitations of the present in-vitro model, a new macro-structured micro-rough dental implant shoulder with a new coronal vertical groove design shows similar cleanability in comparison to a smooth and machined surface.
A survey on systemic antibiotic prescription among dentists in Romandy
Authors: Loume Alexandre , Gardelis Panagiotis , Zekeridou Alkisti , Giannopoulou Catherine
Published: June 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health threat that arises from the excessive and incorrect use of antibiotics. As key players in the evolution of AMR, medical and dental practitioners are often questioned on their indications for antibiotic prescription during daily practice. The present survey aimed to evaluate self-reported practices regarding systemic antibiotic prescription among Swiss dentists in Romandy. An electronic questionnaire was sent to 331 dentists working in the French-speaking part of Switzerland and the responses were analyzed on a three-point Likert scale. The response rate was 28%. Results showed that the main indications for antibiotic use were abscesses with systemic symptoms (89%), cellulitis (81.5%), acute sinusitis (62%) and necrotizing periodontitis (52%). Surgical procedures most frequently combined with antibiotics were sinus floor elevation (59.8%) and implant placement (60.9%). Amoxicillin was the first-choice antibiotic, and clindamycin was mostly prescribed for patients with a penicillin allergy (87%). The majority of dentists recommended prophylaxis with 2g of amoxicillin, one hour before the procedure for patients with a high risk of endocarditis (82.6%), immunodeficiency / immunosuppression (50%), or joint replacement during the last year (47.8%). Most participants (76.1%) expressed the need for specific guidelines on the use of antibiotics in dentistry. The research findings suggested antibiotic prescriptions in dentistry could profit from stricter guidelines.

Authors: Greguš Jaroslav , Repová Katarína , Líška Dávid
Published: June 2024

Súhrn Úvod: Vrhačské disciplíny ako vrh guľou, hod diskom, hod oštepom a hod kladivom kladú zvýšené nároky na pohybový systém človeka. Pohybový charakter vrhačských disciplín, v ktorom je neprimeraná jednostranná záťaž, môže predstavovať súvislosť so zmenami pohybových vzorov v jednotlivých segmentoch ľudského tela, na ktoré je kladená zvýšená záťaž.    Hlavným cieľom našej štúdie je otestovať funkčné pohybové vzory pomocou protokolu DNS u vrhačov v porovnaní s bežnou populáciou.      Metóda: Na hodnotenie sme využili DNS protokol, ktorý využíva funkčné testy. Funkčný protokol obsahuje  test stereotypu dýchania v sede, test vnútrobrušného tlaku v sede, bráničný test v sede, test flexie bedra v sede, supinačný test so zdvihnutím nôh, test flexie hlavy a trupu, test dvihnutia ramien, test extenzie trupu v ľahu, test quadrupedálnej pozície, test medveďa a test drepu. Testy DNS protokolu sme hodnotili na stupnici od 1 – 4, pričom 1 znamená zlyhanie a 4 ideál.      Výsledky: Štatisticky významný rozdiel medzi testovanými skupinami v prospech vrhačov sme zaznamenali iba v testoch stereotypu dýchania v sede pre obe strany (p = 0,017, resp. p = 0,020) a v teste drepu ľavej strany (p = 0,035). V ostatných testoch nebol zaznamenaný štatisticky signifikatný rozdiel medzi sledovanými jednotlivými segmentami v daných testoch (p > 0,05).         Záver: V obidvoch skupinách boli zaznamenané funkčné zmeny v motorickom prevedení testov. Vo vrhačských športoch môže vhodne zvolená kompenzačná činnosť  potenciálne ovplyvniť športový výkon a znížiť výskyt bolesti pohybového aparátu, ktorej vzniku predchádzala dlhodobá jednostranná záťaž.

METODOLOGICKÉ NEDOSTATKY A BUDÚCE SMEROVANIE VÝSKUMU TRÉNINGU ROVNOVÁHY STARŠÍCH DOSPELÝCH: SCOPING REVIEW
Authors: Kováčiková Z. , TÓTH Š. , CIMBOLÁKOVÁ L.
Published: June 2024

Aj keď sa veľa pozornosti venuje nedostatkom výskumu balančného tréningu u starších dospelých s rôznym typom diagnóz, nízka metodologická kvalita a neúplné vykazovanie jednotlivých štúdií stále obmedzujú prenos poznatkov medzi výskumom a praxou. Tieto známe metodologické nedostatky sa považujú aj za bariéry pri vytváraní usmernení alebo odporúčaní pre tréning rovnováhy u starších dospelých. Napriek značnému úsiliu o zlepšenie vedeckej kvality štúdií doteraz takéto odporúčania neboli sformulované. Cieľom tohto scoping review je preto analyzovať literatúru, ktorá sa zaoberá tréningom rovnováhy u starších dospelých s rôznym typom diagnóz, a identifikovať a zhrnúť nedostatky v existujúcej literatúre s cieľom navrhnúť budúci výskum na túto tému.
Metodika
Štandardizovaný protokol PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews bol použitý ako metodologický rámec pri tvorbe tohto scoping review. Vyhľadávanie bolo zrealizované prostredníctvom elektronickej databázy Web of Science. Štúdie, ktoré hodnotili vplyv balančného tréningu na rovnováhu u ľudí nad 60 rokov s rôznym typom diagnóz boli analyzované.
Výsledky
Preskúmaných bolo celkovo 2492 štúdií, z toho 26 štúdií splnilo kritériá oprávnenosti. Hlavnými zistenými nedostatkami boli nedostatočne popísané zdravotné charakteristiky (11/26 štúdií), chýbajúci/nedostatočný popis tréningového protokolu (22/26 štúdií), výber testov nereflektujúci trénovaný typ rovnováhy (6/26 štúdií).
Záver
Spomedzi identifikovaných nedostatkov možno za najdôležitejšie považovať nedostatočne popísaný zdravotný stav a tréningový protokol. Z tohto dôvodu je aj pri vynikajúco vykonanom experimente pre odborníkov takmer nemožné aplikovať výsledky takýchto štúdií do praxe. Výskumníci by preto mali venovať väčšiu pozornosť možným užívateľom získaných poznatkov, čo je v prípade pohybových programov pre starších dospelých viac než žiaduce.

Study on the Influence of Live Broadcast Characteristics on Customer Value Co-Creation Behaviors: The Mediating Role of Interactive Attitudes
Authors: Zhang Lining
Published: June 2024

Value co-creation behaviors (VCCB) are essential to promote resource integration. However, few studies have explored VCCB in the field of live e-commerce broadcasting. Therefore, this paper distinguishes the live broadcast features from the e-commerce anchor characteristics and agricultural product characteristics to explore their influence mechanisms on customer participation and citizenship behaviors, respectively. Through the questionnaire survey, 353 original data were collected for empirical testing. The results showed that the characteristics of live broadcasts (e-commerce anchor characteristics and agricultural product characteristics) significantly affected the VCCB. Interactive attitudes are an intermediary between live broadcast characteristics and VCCB.
Thinking Inertia and Path Dependence in US Chip Hegemony Strategy
Authors: Jin Zuoping
Published: June 2024

As human society steps into the digital era, the chip industry has increasingly become a strategic place for national security, economic development, scientific and technological progress, as well as global political games. Although the US has long dominated the chip industry, China's recent explosive growth in the semiconductor sector poses a serious threat to US technical superiority. Consequently, the chip race has taken center stage in the ongoing Sino-US technology rivalry. By observing the U.S. policy documents and diplomatic practices related to chip strategy, we can find that the U.S. in the process of maintaining and advancing its chip hegemony presents technological hegemony, industrial protectionism, pseudo-multilateralism thinking inertia, unilateral export control, industrial policy support, as well as multilateral alliance construction of the path of dependence.

The Impact of Vertical Fiscal Asymmetries on the Strength of Environmental Regulations
Authors: Shuai Zhengtao
Published: June 2024

Deepening the financial system reform is an important part of economic high-quality development, and environmental regulation is a necessary path. Based on this, in the context of China's economic development increasingly pursuing the green transformation of the new era, this paper stands on the perspective of vertical fiscal asymmetry to explore the changes in the strength of environmental regulation. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces between 2007 and 2021, I empirically analyze the impact of vertical fiscal asymmetry on the strength of environmental regulation and how it works. It is shown that vertical fiscal asymmetry has an inhibitory effect on the strength of environmental regulation, and the results of the mode of action show that the increase in the degree of marketization weakens the inhibitory effect of vertical fiscal asymmetry on the strength of environmental regulation to a certain extent. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures such as continuing to deepen the reform of the fiscal system, deepening the reform of the industrial structure, and moderately expanding the degree of local marketization, in order to reduce the negative impact of vertical fiscal asymmetry on the strength of environmental regulation, and to contribute to ecological civilization.
Research on the Effect of Executive Team Heterogeneity on ESG Performance
Authors: Li Kexin
Published: June 2024

In recent years, the ESG performance of firms has attracted considerable attention from both academia and the practical field. Enhancing firms' ESG performance not only serves as a “wind vane” for sustainable development but also injects new vitality into the high-quality growth of China’s economy. As the core actors within the corporate power hierarchy, the heterogeneity characteristics of the executive team are significant determinants of corporate behavior and may influence firms' ESG performance. Based on Corporate Life Cycle Theory and Upper Echelons Theory, this paper empirically tests the relationship between executive team heterogeneity and firms' ESG performance using the data from Chinese A-share listed companies for the period 2009-2021. The empirical results reveal that age heterogeneity and financial background heterogeneity in the executive team have significant negative effects on firms' ESG performance; in contrast, executive team academic background heterogeneity significantly enhances firms' ESG performance.The mechanism test indicates that the quality of accounting information disclosure plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between executive team heterogeneity and firms' ESG performance. Further analysis shows that the effect of executive team heterogeneity on firms' ESG performance is more pronounced in corporates that are in the mature and decline stages. This study enriches the research on the economic consequences of executive team heterogeneity and the influencing factors of firms' ESG performance, providing theoretical support and empirical evidence for promoting sustainable development and deeply implementing the "Dual Carbon" goals.

Authors: Göktürk Çetinkaya Selma , Vural Birkan
Published: June 2024

Türk Siyasi Tarihinin kırılma noktalarından biri olan çok partili hayata geçiş, her ne kadar Demokrat Parti (DP) ile olmamışsa da bu partiyi kuranların Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (CHP) içindeki muhalif tutumlarıyla başlamıştır. 1945’in haziran ayında verdikleri takrirle yol ayrımına gelen Demokratlar, 1946 yılının ilk ayında partili muhalefete geçmişlerdir. Aynı yıl içinde yapılan genel seçimler neticesinde ana muhalefet partisi olduğunu kanıtlayan DP, 1950 Genel Seçimleriyle iktidar partisi olmuştur. Her ne kadar farklı partiler Türk siyasetinde görünmeye başlamışsa da ellili yıllarda politik hareketlilik bu iki parti üzerinden şekillenmiştir. İktidarla muhalefet mücadelesinin örneklerini hemen her sahada gösteren DP ile CHP’nin buna yönelik bir karşı karşıya gelişi de 1951 senesinin yaz ayları itibariyle yaşanmıştır. 16 Eylül 1951’de gerçekleşen ara seçimlerle ilgili çalışmaların başlamasıyla kendini gösteren bu restleşme, seçimin sonrasında da devam etmiştir. 1950 Genel Seçimlerinde birden fazla yerden aday olan ve seçilen siyasilerin tercihlerini belirlemesi neticesinde boşta kalan veya vefat dolayısıyla boşalan milletvekillikleri için yapılan bu ara seçimlerde öne çıkan yerlerin başında Bilecik gelmektedir. Seçim sürecinde gözlerin en fazla çevrildiği yer olan Bilecik’in bu denli önemli olmasının sebebi gösterilen adaylardır. Özellikle CHP’nin, partinin genel sekreteri olan Kasım Gülek’i aday göstermesiyle odak noktası olan Bilecik’te iktidarın adayını ise Bilecikliler belirlemiştir. İl ve ilçe teşkilatlarının seçmesi ve merkezin onayıyla DP’nin adayı, askeri kimliğiyle önem arz eden Korgeneral Yümnü Üresin olmuştur. Pek çok milletvekilinin ve bakanın seçim sürecinde sıkça uğradığı Bilecik’te bu dönemde usulsüzlüklerle ve adli vakalarla da karşılaşılmıştır. Ulusal basının gündeminden düşmeyen Bilecik’te kazanan taraf DP olurken Yümnü Üresin’in seçilmesine yönelik itirazların gelmesi seçim sonrasında da iktidar-muhalefet mücadelesini devam ettirmiştir.

Published: June 2024

This study investigates the impact of employee diversity on organizational performance in Noveleta Cavite, focusing on dimensions such as gender, age, ethnicity, and educational background. In order to establish a relationship between diversity and important performance metrics like cooperation, creativity, contentment, and productivity, a quantitative survey with 120 employees was carried out. The findings show a strong commitment to diversity in terms of gender, color, ethnicity, culture, and age across a range of demographic variables. The results of correlation analysis demonstrate a strong link between diversity and job happiness, highlighting the role that inclusivity and a sense of belonging play in fostering organizational success. Going forward, the organization's commitment to diversity and inclusivity will be upheld by utilizing these strengths while addressing areas for development, which will sustain organizational performance.
Collective Consumption Externalities and Charitable Giving
Authors: Beaulier Scott A. , Hall Joshua C.
Published: June 2024

Charitable giving suffers from market failure, which means government redistribution and other forms of social insurance can be justified. According to market failure theorists, charitable giving for poverty alleviation suffers from a free-rider problem. In a free market, giving will, therefore, be underprovided. Using insights from public choice theory and Austrian economics, our paper finds market failure arguments to be an insufficient justification for government intervention. Private charity and redistribution respects autonomy and is more robust in creating incentives for people to help the poor.
Productive and Non-Productive Entrepreneurship and the Interaction Between Founders and Funders
Authors: Colombatto Enrico
Published: June 2024

By focusing on the economics of productive and unproductive entrepreneurship this paper explains venture capitalism in different institutional contexts, defined in terms of property rights and regulation. It is shown that venture capitalism is just one among the various possibilities of transforming good ideas into success stories; and that tends to be discarded when transaction costs are high. Althoughventure capitalism is likely to be positively correlated with growth, it is not a necessary condition. Still, it can provide indications as for the nature of the prevailing institutional framework and possibly signal unexploited opportunities.
Regulation and the Wealth of Nations: The Connection between Government Regulation and Economic Progress
Authors: Peltzman Sam
Published: June 2024

Adam Smith’s main message is that when unregulated, undistorted rewards are higher in one activity than another, economic progress is usually promoted if resources flow toward the high-return use. And resources would flow that way if we are left alone to pursue our happiness. When regulators do things that change those market signals or prevent us from responding to them the nation as a whole usually ends up poorer. There is much wisdom in Smith’s view, but I shall argue that it gives an incomplete picture of the connection between regulation and the progress of opulence. Smith is emphasizing the conflict between regulation and economic progress. I would propose to add to Smith’s view an analysis of a way in which market forces and prosperity often undermine the effects of regulation. I shall discuss two ways in which this happens. One is that the regulation often induces changes in behavior that go against the intended effects of the regulation. The other, more subtle kind of undermining occurs because unregulated progress often produces the intended benefits of regulation, though more slowly and quietly. The last part of my paper tries to answer a question about the wealth-destroying regulation that troubled Smith. How does such regulation survive politically? The answer is that progress can often hide the bad effects for a long time and thereby immunize the regulation politically.

Rothbard’s Welfare Theory: A Critique
Authors: Kvasnička Michal
Published: June 2024

This paper analyzes Rothbard’s welfare theory. It differs from other critiques of the theory in that it does not analyze the context of the theory but only its coherency and consistency with the rest of Rothbard’s analysis. It shows that the theory is invalid and should be rejected because it is incoherent (its two welfare theorems cannot be defended at the same time), and inconsistent with Rothbard’s own claims made elsewhere.

Using Short-Form Communication in Academia
Authors: Ferdinand Joshua
Published: June 2024

Short-form communication is increasingly recognised as a pivotal tool in academia for conveying complex ideas succinctly and accessibly. This literature review synthesises key findings in 2024, focusing on the use of abstracts, executive summaries, and brief reports. Brief reports, typically under 2,000 words, facilitate rapid publication and immediate academic impact. Research by Alperin et al. shows that engaging abstracts increase readership and citations, boosting the visibility of academic work. Short-form communication also engages non-specialist audiences, bridging the gap between complex research and practical application. Additionally, integrating short-form communication into curricula enhances students' critical reading and concise writing skills. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in maintaining academic rigour. Future research should develop best practices to preserve the depth of academic discourse. This review highlights the significant impact and ongoing evolution of short-form communication in academic settings and the need for greater dissemination insights.
Long-term effects of food safety incident: Example of Sanlu milk powder incident
Authors: Yang Qing , Zhou Li , Lei Lei
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the long-term consumer response to food safety incidents. The Sanlu incident that broke out in 2008 offers us an example to discuss the long-term impact of the impact of the incident on consumption behavior. In 2018, a survey was distributed to consumers in selected regions. Probit and Tobit techniques are used to analyze the long-term effect of food safety incidents on consumers’ trust in various subjects through memory and cognition and how trust further influences their consumption behaviors. Results indicate that consumers showed the highest level of trust in the central government and the lowest in domestic salespeople and producers. The effects caused by trust in foreign producers were more significant than those caused by trust in authorities and the central government. Additionally, the middle-income group preferred to buy domestic milk powder the most. Little research has explored the long-term consumer response to food safety incidents. This study enriches the previous literature by exploring whether consumer choices can be influenced by trust and how.
Negative Returns Produce Higher Co-movement and Higher Variance in U.S. and Regional Stock Markets
Authors:   , Basmadjian Raffi K.
Published: June 2024

The study of cross-border links in stock market returns is a key issue in specialized finance. The existing literature studies the effect of volatility on stock index co-movement, the relation between the tail returns of two financial assets and the stock index co-movement in post-crisis events, all of which lead to a higher correlation in stock returns. In this paper, we analyze the effects of negative returns of 18 US and 40 regional stock indexes on the magnitude of the co-movement of these stock indexes and on the magnitude of their total variances. We find empirical evidence that negative returns increase the co-movement of these stock indexes as well as the variance of returns. Then we relate this differential correlation of negative returns to behavioral finance, in particular to loss aversion, and specifically the disposition effect, in the sense that the fear of investors in realizing losses leads to a smaller volume of trading, which results in less liquidity and hence higher transaction risk on one hand, and more volatility and hence higher variance of returns on the other hand.
Analysis of Indonesia's International Trade and Its Influencing Aspects
Authors: Sartika
Published: June 2024

This study examines the dynamics of international trade in Indonesia and the factors influencing it. The researcher adopts a descriptive approach to elucidate the evolution of international trade and a verification method to identify variables impacting it. Secondary data spanning from 2003 to 2019 serves as the primary data source. The analysis employs multiple regression techniques. The findings reveal that international trade in Indonesia experienced fluctuations during the study period, largely driven by changes in oil and gas prices as well as non-oil commodity prices. Notably, growth in Indonesia's international trade is predominantly observed in the non-oil and gas sector. Consequently, the Indonesian government has devised strategies to support exporters in this sector through various incentives.The study identifies several factors affecting international trade, including exchange rates, inflation rates, government effectiveness, and trade openness. Simultaneously, these factors collectively influence international trade dynamics. However, the analysis indicates that inflation rate, government effectiveness, and trade openness significantly impact international trade, whereas the exchange rate factor exhibits no discernible effect
Evaluation of Global Trade Policy in an Economy
Authors: Anisa Sartika Madaniyah
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study is to explain the importance of evaluating global trade policies in the context of the Indonesian economy. Economic transactions such as exports, imports, foreign investment, foreign debt, remittances, and payment of services play a key role in the Indonesian economy. Factors such as differences in resources, economies of scale, technological differences, differences in demand, differences in regulations, innovation, and research affect international trade. However, there are also factors that can hinder international trade, such as tariffs, trade wars, technical and cultural barriers, economic crises, protectionism, and infrastructure inequality. The impact of these economic transactions also affects Indonesia's trade balance, economic growth, and overall financial stability. The study also underscores the need to take into account external dynamics, such as global economic conditions and changes in international trade regulations, in the evaluation process of global trade policies. Qualitative research methods are used to evaluate global trade policies, including case studies, qualitative interviews, document analysis, participant observations, and content analysis. The evaluation of global trade policies considers their impact on economic growth, social inequality, the environment, and political stability. In conclusion, a thorough understanding of the complex and related aspects of global trade policy evaluation is necessary for sustainable and well-being-oriented decision-making of society as a whole.

Urban spatial sustainability landscape planning and design: A study on solving flood disasters in low-lying urban areas based on simulated natural drainage system
Authors: Chen Hongxu , Li Yuyu
Published: June 2024

This study explores the use of simulated natural drainage systems for sustainable urban landscape planning to address flood disasters in low-lying urban areas. Traditional drainage methods lack sustainability, whereas simulated natural drainage systems, such as green infrastructure, rain gardens, and wetland parks, can enhance urban flood resilience and environmental quality through scientific design and strategic layout. In San Francisco, the issue of flood disasters in low-lying areas has become increasingly severe, with traditional drainage systems struggling to effectively manage flood risks under extreme weather conditions. This study employs R programming to simulate natural drainage systems, evaluating their effectiveness in mitigating flood disasters and improving ecological environments. By utilizing rainfall data, topographic data, and drainage system data from San Francisco, a simplified hydrological model was constructed to calculate catchment areas and runoff, simulating the effects of natural drainage systems. Results indicate that natural drainage systems significantly reduce flood risks and enhance ecological benefits. The findings provide urban planners with new flood management strategies, emphasizing the importance of integrated management and systemic thinking, and highlight the future potential for widespread application in urban planning. By integrating landscape design with water resource management principles, this study proposes a systematic solution validated through case studies in different cities, demonstrating its feasibility and effectiveness. This research offers new insights and methods for urban flood control engineering and landscape planning, contributing to enhanced urban disaster resilience and improved urban living environments. The simulation of natural drainage systems facilitates sustainable urban development, providing valuable references for the advancement of sustainable urban landscape planning.
Metrolingualism in Faïza Guène's Kiffe Kiffe demain
Authors: Kennedy Laura
Published: June 2024

This article analyses Faïza Guéne's Kiffe kiffe demain through the concept of metrolingualism: the theory that studies the relationship between language use and urban environments. Conceived by eminent sociolinguistics Emi Otsuji and Alistair Pennycook, metrolingualism
describes how local language practices are fundamentally impacted and informed by the manner in which individuals navigate daily life in linguistically and culturally diverse urban spaces. In examining the metrolingual potentiality of Kiffe kiffe demain at both the level of the narrative and
thematically, this article showcases the wealth of linguistic diversity pulsing throughout the banlieue of Livry-Gargan by examining how the various linguistic repertoires of the novel's characters are mobilised and perceived in this space. Applying a sociolinguistic theory to this work
of literature thus enables this article to present an original, interdisciplinary examination of this bestselling novel, ultimately drawing attention to the manner in which Guéné's deployment and manipulation of language functions to challenge stereotypical depictions of
her often-stigmatised society.
