Chinese SOEs and the Completion of Cross-border M&As: The Moderating Role of M&A Experience
Authors:   Korea Trade Research Association, Jing Luo , Cho Young-Gon , Ko Jaekyung
Published: November 2022

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs), previous M&A experience, and the probability of deal completion in cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBMAs). Since Chinese SOEs tend to be recognized by host countries as agents of their home country government, this study argues that SOEs will face difficulties in completing CBMA deals. However, the study expects that these difficulties may vary depending on whether the firm has previous M&A experience because firms can gain the knowledge and capabilities necessary to implement subsequent M&As successfully from past M&A experience. Design/methodology – To investigate our argument, we conduct a logistic regression using a sample of 363 CBMA deals from 304 Chinese publicly listed firms during 2007 to 2017. We used SOEs as an independent variable, experience of domestic and foreign M&As as moderating variables, respectively, and CBMA deal completion as the dependent variable. Findings – The study shows a negative and significant relationship between Chinese SOEs and the completion likelihood of CBMA deals. We find that this negative relationship is strengthened when the firm had prior domestic M&A experience, whereas foreign M&A experience alleviated the negative relationship. Originality/value – The issue of government ownership has remained unclear since government intervention has both advantages and disadvantages in pursuing CBMAs. Our findings support literature that argues Chinese SOEs face legitimacy concerns in the host countries, thereby lowering their CBMA deal completion likelihood. Furthermore, the study enriches the literature by identifying different moderating effects of domestic and foreign M&A experience on the negative relationship between SOEs and CBMA deal completion.

Designing and releasing of software’s in production that contains images takes a lot of time due to the need of finding ALT-text attributes for the images embedded in the applications. This paper automates the task of writing ALT-text attributes in HTML, especially if image integration is large with the use of python PIP package and Microsoft Computer Vision API. This will save huge time and efforts of the developers by automating the task of captioning images manually up to a great extent. The challenge that confronts us is the quality of annotations generated by the machine with respect to the human generated annotations. To study the appropriateness of the captions delivered by APIs, a blend of human and machine assessment was used. We have noticed a high similarity in human and machine generated annotations as we obtained individual and cumulative BLEU score metric . Another metric is confidence score with a percentage mean of 0.5 .Also, we have calculated the time taken per caption which is 1.6 seconds per image which took 6.01 minutes to caption 200 images.
DETERMINANTS OF SIGNIFICANT HEPATIC FIBROSIS IN TYPE 2 DIABETES PATIENTS WITH NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE IN SOUTH INDIA.
Authors: Ramya A V , Thirumal P
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is more prevalent among type 2 diabetes(T2D). Apart from liver related morbidity and mortality,
fatty liver is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Severity of hepatic brosis correlates with poor outcome. Early diagnosis
and treatment will improve the quality of life. Transient elastography (TE) is a validated tool for assessment of severity of brosis. We estimate the
proportion of patients with signicant brosis and its determinants using TE in south india. Methods: Hospital based prospective cross sectional
study was conducted among type 2 diabetes patients with ultrasound abdomen reported as fatty liver over the study period of one year. Exclusion
criteria was applied to rene the study population to asymptomatic non alcoholic fatty liver disease patients. TE examination was done and
signicant hepatic brosis (≥ F2 = 7.1 to 8.7kpa) was correlated with various blood parameters and anthropometrics. Results: 140 patients were
selected from 781 type 2 diabetes population. Proportion of signicant brosis (≥ F2) was 47.1 percent. All patients except one were either obese
59(89.4%) or overweight 6(9.1%) in the subgroup of signicant brosis. T2D patients with uncontrolled HbA1c levels had more signicant
brosis (p = 0.02) than controlled patients. Liver enzymes (AST/ALT) and lipid prole measurements do not correlate with signicant brosis.
Ultrasound abdomen imaging fails to detect signicant brosis in two third of cases (p=0.002). Conclusion: Nearly half of type 2 diabetes with
NAFLD in south India had signicant hepatic brosis. Higher BMI (> 30) and poor glycemic control were key determinants of signicant hepatic
brosis. This subset of T2D patients warrant TE screening study

Introduction: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare and unusual form of chronic pyelonephritis, characterized by the destruction of the renal parenchyma and its replacement by granulomas, abscesses and lipid-laden macrophage collections. Despite clinical and radiological knowledge, it remains a surprise for the surgeon. We are reporting through these two observations the diagnostic difficulties of this condition would lead to an inappropriate treatment as well as to a more severe disease. Observations: Two patients (52 and 57 years old), one of whom is followed fortype 2 diabetes mellitus , were hospitalized for pyonephrosis due to obstructive pyelic and ureteral lithiasis. The pyonephrosis was revealed by a chronic loin pain in a febrile context and confirmed by urogramme showing a destruction of the renal parenchyma, dilated pyelocaliceal cavities with rounded formations of pseudo-tumoral appearance on the lithiasis obstacles. Our initialtreatment consisted of percutaneous nephrostomy under antibiotic covering and secondarily of nephro-ureterectomy without bladder flange performed six weeks later. Histopathology studies showed diffuse xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. The postoperative follow up was simple in both cases. Conclusion: Xantogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare, severe and chronic form of pyelonephritis whose diagnosis is always histological. Its clinical picture is no specific, hence the problem is that it poses achalleng of differential diagnosis with renal tumors and urogenital tuberculosis. Its treatment is based on nephrectomy.

Published: November 2022

The term “pigmentation of oral mucosa” is applied to a wide range of lesions or conditions featuring a change of color of oral tissues. Common causes of mucosal coloration including petechiae, purpura, ecchymoses, hematomas, vascular tumors and exogenous substances are not true pigmented lesions. In contrast, melanin which is synthesized by melanocytes, is a true pigment and usually imparts a brown, blue or black appearance of the mucosa. Oral pigmentation affects about 3% of the total population and most likely in those with dark skin, more prevalent in females than males during the 3rd or 4th decade of life. In this review, we are describing the oral manifestation and dental considerations associated with common pigmented disorders which will allow the practitioner to have a holistic approach in diagnosis and management of these patients.

Music videos as cultural artefacts of the eighties
Authors: Van Niekerk Retha
Published: November 2022

A overview of the development of movements in art and music during the twentieth century is given to place music videos in perspective as cutural phenomena reflecting certain artistic, philosophical and social tendencies of the present. Music videos, are seen against the back ground of the semiological view that a cultural artefact does not simply reflect society, it also acts as a "signifying practice with its own determinate product: meaning" (Hall 1980:30). A semiological approach Incorporating concepts from structuralism, psychoanalysis, feminism and post-structuralism is used to construct a theoretical model for the analysis of meanings in the visual images of music videos. In the theoretical model three levels of meaning, namely denotative, connotative and mythical, are distinguished with certain qualititative elements defined on each level The denotative level or the level of reality contains iconic signs, indexical signs and symbolical signs. Other qualitative elements include characters, setting, and descriptions of primary movements. The connotative level or the level of representation includes television codes (non-filmic and filmic), narrative codes and intertextual codes The level of myth or the level of ideology includes stylistic or textual devices such as metaphors, allegories, fetishism, voyeurism and parody. This article is that music videos function as mod- ern artefacts which have the potential to express complex cultural meanings to signal a new Weltanschauung (Lorch 1988:143)

Communication technology and democracy in the development of South Africa
Authors: Louw Eric
Published: November 2022

Many countries in the developed world are currently being restructured into Post-Fordist economies or 'Information societies'. Communication technology, computers and satellites are now at the cutting edge of socio-economic development. South African decision makers ignore these developments at their own peril. This country sits at a cross-roads. Will we see socio-economic and communication policies which facilitate South Africa's development into a post-Fordist economy or will the country be trapped into a Fordist backwater? This article argues in favour of South African's taking the plunge into an 'Information society'. More importantly, the potential for using Post Fordist 'information technology' for creating a more democratic society is examined.

„Tam jest pamiątek ognisko”. Elementy osjaniczne w twórczości Augusta Antoniego Jakubowskiego oraz Maurycego Gosławskiego
Authors: Dobrowolska Anna Maria
Published: November 2022

The aim of the article was to trace the similarities between the Songs of Ossian and the works of selected authors of the Ukrainian school, which allowed Maurycy Mochnacki to create in 1826 the metaphor of Ukraine as "Polish Scotland". We are talking about similarities in terms of building mood, creating images of space, reflecting on history, passing and memory, as well as a special sensitivity and way of feeling nature and the world. This metaphor has already been commented on many times, and it also evoked extreme opinions. Stanisław Makowski and Alina Witkowska, among others, found it unfounded, but its sources seem worth re-examining. The work aims to identify those features of Ukraine which, in the eyes of the authors of early Polish Romanticism, made it similar to Osianic Scotland. In the article, fragments of Songs of Ossian will be juxtaposed with selected works of lesser-known poets from the Ukrainian school, August Antoni Jakubowski and Maurycy Gosławski. Indigenous Ukrainian duma, which is related to the Songs of Ossian in general terms by the presence of epic elements, as well as frequently appearing historical topics, is important research material. The Ukrainian steppe was the space where the Kobzar sitting on the grave praised the heroic deeds of the Cossacks, just as Ossian told the stories of Fingal's warriors. This allowed Mochnacki to believe that the poets of the Ukrainian school, referring to indigenous folk art, would create national literature that would play a decisive role in "recognizing the nation as its own being”.
Refleksje amerykańskie Juliusza Słowackiego
Authors: Westermark Katarzyna
Published: November 2022

The aim of this article is to present Juliusz Słowacki’s statements regarding the American continent. Though the research material is limited, it can be surmised that Słowacki consistently viewed the Mundus Novus (both its northern and southern parts) as a realm of contradiction: on the one hand a place, where positively perceived democratic changes took place, and on the other a land permanently stained with the crime of its colonisers.The introductory part of the text presents the poet’s inspirations from the American prose of Chateaubriand and the adventure novels of James Fenimore Cooper. Further on, I focus on Słowacki’s adolescent works. Although he never chose to depict the idyllic American wilderness, his poems Oda do młodości and Do Michała Rola Skibickiego revealed a strong connection between the symbolism of the botanical world and the historical changes which occurred after the continent’s discovery up till the American Revolutionary War and Bolivar’s activity in South America. The aforementioned contradictions also appeared when Native American characters were mentioned – praise of the noble, innocent savage were mixed with stereotypes and mocking depictions of North American Indians. Another important topic is Słowacki’s change of opinion concerning the US, expressed in a letter to his mother from 1834, in which he makes known how disappointed he is about American pragmatism and lack of ideals. In the final part of the text, I juxtapose Fanny Calderon de la Barca’s traveller’s account from her time in Mexico with Słowacki’s notes on this work and discuss an anecdote about Christopher Columbus from one of the letters to Salomea Bécu.

The objectives of this study were to determine how elements of the socio-medical approach have contributed to managing their health problems in Calabar metropolis, Nigeria. Six hundred women, aged 15-60 years, were sampled from Hearth-to-Heart Centers for their opinions on the socio-medical approach to managing their condition. The women expressed reasonable satisfaction with the availability and accessibility of socio-medical services: all of them received counselling, 92.2% were counselled on adherence, 81.7% received anti-retro viral services and 64.2% enjoyed family planning services. Some of the routine challenges highlighted by the women were poverty and fear of rejection by society. Also, the use of family planning does hinder their adherence to antiretroviral treatment. Overall, the socio-medical approach has been successful in managing their illness; more women should thus avail themselves of the opportunity of enjoying good health despite their HIV status.

Customary Values and Daily Communication of the Baduy Community in Indonesia
Authors: Enjang .
Published: November 2022

This article describes how customary values have implications for communication practices in the daily life of the Baduy people, one of the famous indigenous communities in Indonesia. Utilizing the ethnography of communication method, this study describes how customary values in the Baduy community have contributed in establishing local-ecological consciousness and primordial outlook which is reflected in their communication on daily basis. Practically, the Sundanese language used by the Baduy people is different from the main Sundanese, especially in the context of dialect and structure as they do not have any concept of language level which is commonly found in mainstream Sundanese while their dialect is more loud and straight. Furthermore, in daily communication, they also apply language taboos through a sort of law and norm so-called “pikukuh” by prohibiting of certain words which philosophically related to their basic belief. Therefore, language taboos in the Baduy community can also be understood as symbolic messages based on their local-primordial outlook.

Published: November 2022

An innovative approach to education should be provided in Mathematics learning activities to battle anxiety. However, studies on handling mathematical anxiety problems through psychoeducational programs have not been conducted. This study aims to analyze the benefits of implementing a psychoeducational program that integrates Qur’anic values on students’ mathematics anxiety. The quasi-experimental research was applied to junior high schools in Indonesia, consisting of experimental and control groups. Furthermore, the mathematical anxiety scale was used as a data collection technique, while the Kruskal-Wallis Test was used for analysis. The results showed that the application of psychoeducational programs is beneficial in reducing students’ mathematics anxiety levels. Therefore, psychoeducation programs integrated with Quranic values are recommended for mathematics learning activities. The application is suitable for various groups of students. However, initial training is needed for teachers to have a level of mastery of scientific integration (Islam), hence the application of the programs can run well.
