Authors: Gangadhar Bareddy , Lazar Veparala , Mahajan Khushi , Srikanth Pallerla
Published: December 2024

Infertility isn’t solely a biological issue; adverse childhood experiences (ACE) also play a role. ACE encompass stressful or traumatic events during the first 18 years of life, such as domestic violence, substance abuse, parental mental illness, divorce, or incarceration, which can impact fertility beyond mere physiological factors.
An Extensive Therapeutical Drug Monitoring Repository for Localized Population Pharmacokinetics Research
Authors: Çakır Elif , Öz Pınar , Özdemir Murat , Özilhan Selma , Tarhan Nevzat
Published: December 2024

Aim: The study's long-term goals, such as determining supratherapeutic ranges according to age distributions specific to the country, adjusting dosages for additional drugs used by patients in different disease groups, and providing the opportunity for etiological studies in the light of diagnosis and drug metabolism perspective, are of great importance in defining the study. Method: Population pharmacokinetics is a method expressed to evaluate processes such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of a drug from an individual's blood-plasma concentration. In drug pharmacokinetic experiments, generating data without considering any pharmacokinetic differences among patients prevents the measurement or observation of variability among individuals in the population as a simple approach. The dose-concentration relationship is crucial for individualized dose adjustment. Additionally, the impact of other drugs used by the individual on metabolite levels and the metabolic interactions between drugs play a critical role in the development of personalized treatments. Population approaches provide a foundation that benefits the observation of these effects. The variability in drug metabolism among individuals forms one of the fundamental building blocks of personalized treatment approaches, specifically through Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM), which plays an important role in determining the therapeutic range of drugs. Materials: In this study, drug metabolism findings of patients served at NP Istanbul Brain Hospital between 2010 and 2022 were examined within the repository created along with other patient-specific parameters. Results and Conclusion: The analysis results have been followed up longitudinally, partially demographically, and retrospectively. Thanks to the repository of NP Istanbul Brain Hospital, population pharmacokinetic analyses aimed in this study are being conducted for the first time globally and nationally in terms of scope. The repository has been studied with TDM for individualized treatment methods, and within this project, it is anticipated to perform phenotyping with the population pharmacokinetic approach.
América Latina en el nuevo milenio: una región de senderos macroeconómicos que se bifurcan
Authors: Rapetti Martín , Libman Emiliano , Carrera Gonzalo
Published: December 2024

Para mediados de los años 2000, los países de América Latina habían conseguido confluir a una situación de estabilidad macroeconómica: la inflación era baja, los balances fiscales estaban equilibrados y las cuentas externas transitaban senderos sostenibles, lejos de la frecuente amenaza de las crisis cambiarias. Si las trayectorias que los habían traído hasta ahí habían sido -con sus propios matices- similares, a partir de allí comenzaron a bifurcar. Brasil, Chile, Colombia, México, Paraguay, Perú y Uruguay lograron mantener la estabilidad adoptando gradualmente -cada uno con sus tiempos y matices- esquemas de «buenas prácticas macroeconómicas» basados en cuatro pilares: 1) una política monetaria de metas de inflación dirigidas por bancos centrales independientes y mayormente tecnocráticos; 2) una política cambiaria de flotación administrada y acumulación de reservas internacionales; 3) políticas fiscales institucionalizadas que procuran mantener un sesgo contracíclico y la sostenibilidad de la deuda pública y 4) la integración con los mercados internacionales de capital. Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador y Venezuela, en cambio, siguieron un sendero diferente, sobre el que se desplegaron estrategias de política macroeconómica más erráticas, que privilegiaron objetivos de corto plazo y relegaron la estabilidad macroeconómica a un segundo plano. La evidencia que desplegamos en este artículo parece reflejar que los países que no adoptaron las «buenas prácticas», no sólo padecieron mayor inestabilidad macroeconómica, sino que también peor desempeño en términos de crecimiento y reducción de la pobreza.
Panorama de la tributación en América Latina y el Caribe
Authors: Díaz de Sarralde Miguez Santiago
Published: December 2024

El artículo sintetiza para América Latina y el Caribe la evolución a largo y a corto plazo de la recaudación tributaria, su estructura, los niveles de tipos impositivos, las fuentes de consulta de la legislación tributaria, los otros ingresos no tributarios que complementan la capacidad de financiación de las políticas públicas, las pérdidas de recaudación por la utilización de gastos tributarios y por la evasión y las características de sus Administraciones Tributarias.
La tributación en ALC presenta múltiples retos en relación con su bajo nivel, su escasa capacidad recaudatoria y redistributiva, los elevados grados de informalidad e incumplimiento, el incremento de los niveles de deuda y pago de intereses, la economía digital, los mecanismos de evasión y elusión a nivel internacional o las consecuencias del cambio climático.
Al mismo tiempo, se vislumbran avances positivos en materias como la innovación y la digitalización de sus Administraciones Tributarias o las mejoras en materia estadística y de información disponible para el análisis y la formulación de políticas de reforma basadas en la evidencia.

Los efectos del cambio climático en América Latina en el contexto de diversas estrategias de política pública
Authors: Galindo Luis Miguel , Lorenzo Fernando , García-Cervantes Oscar
Published: December 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es estimar los efectos del cambio climático en América Latina en el contexto de diversas estrategias de política pública global. La metodología identifica a los impactos del cambio climático a través de los efectos de las fluctuaciones aleatorias del clima sobre el Producto Interno Bruto per cápita, el PIB agrícola e industrial y la inversión con base en un modelo de proyección local (Jordà, 2005). Los resultados obtenidos indican que el cambio climático tiene efectos significativos, amplios y generalizados en América Latina, principalmente a través de la temperatura, y que estos efectos son heterogéneos, más intensos en países con temperaturas más elevadas y con menor ingreso per cápita y donde los shocks de temperatura se atenúan lentamente con diferencias entre países. Los escenarios climáticos y de política pública respectiva muestran que las estrategias de política pública son relevantes para identificar a los efectos del cambio climático. Ello muestra la importancia de que América Latina contribuya a la definición de las estrategias de política pública globales en las negociaciones sobre el cambio climático.

Published: December 2024

En el ámbito del codiseño, las herramientas para la ideación colaborativa son reconocidas como fundamentales en las etapas tempranas de creación de productos o servicios, para la formulación inicial del espacio de solución involucrando directamente a los destinatarios finales. Sin embargo, muchas de estas herramientas no abordan aspectos de accesibilidad cognitiva lo que termina excluyendo a las personas con discapacidad intelectual (DI) de los procesos de codiseño. El siguiente artículo describe el desarrollo y uso de PiX, un toolkit y método de codiseño creado para apoyar a equipos multidisciplinarios durante las primeras fases de ideación de nuevos productos tecnológicos. En el estudio se utiliza PiX en talleres con profesionales multidisciplinarios y en paralelo en talleres con personas adultas con DI para comparar y evaluar la accesibilidad cognitiva de la herramienta de diseño. Los resultados muestran que la herramienta facilita la ideación colectiva en etapas tempranas de codiseño, favoreciendo el desarrollo de cohesión, comprensión y expresión por parte de los equipos, permitiendo que las personas con DI puedan contribuir a la conceptualización de nuevas tecnologías. Finalmente, se discute sobre el rol de las herramientas de diseño para integrar equipos e incorporar a las personas con DI como co-ideadores.

Authors: Usman Usman
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the effect of optimizing the role of internal auditors on fraud prevention by considering local culture as a moderating variable. This study aims to analyze the effect of optimizing the role of internal auditors on fraud prevention with local culture as a moderating variable. Sampling using purposive sampling, this study involved 87 auditors from the regional Inspectorate, with data collection through questionnaires analyzed using the PLS-SEM method and SmartPLS software version 4. The results of the study indicate that the role of internal auditors has a significant impact on fraud prevention, and the interaction between local culture and the role of internal audit has a significant influence on fraud prevention in local government. In general, the fraud prevention framework combines the dimensions of the role of internal auditors and local culture to create a system for preventing fraud and supporting the integrity and accountability of the organization. The analysis shows the R-Square value for the fraud prevention variable of 0.817, which indicates that the variables of the Role of Internal Audit and Local Culture have a significant influence on Fraud Prevention at 81.7%. These results indicate that the model has strong predictive power, and the rest has limitations in explaining 18.3% of the variance that can be explained by other variables that are not included in this research model.

STRUCTURAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN OF THE PRESSED FUEL PRODUCTION PROCESS
Authors: Mikulionok I.O.
Published: December 2024

A critical analysis of the state and development prospects of the structural and technological design of the pressed fuel production process: biofuel, solid fossil fuel or their mixtures was performed. A detailed classification of presses for obtaining pressed fuel, in particular fuel briquettes and pellets, is proposed. The most interesting designs of these presses, proposed by scientists, designers and inventors of the leading countries of the world, are considered. The structural and technological design of the pressed fuel production process is analyzed depending on the nature of pressing in time, the degree of closure of the forming cavity, the nature of the movement of the working body (working bodies), the number of simultaneously pressed fuel elements, the possibility of adjusting the thermal regime, as well as the degree of mobility. It is shown that, despite the significant variety of designs of press equipment, screw and drum presses that are relatively difficult to manufacture, but highly productive and versatile in terms of processed raw materials and the standard size of the received pressed fuel, have become the most widespread. Roll, plunger and roller presses are also quite effective, but their use is limited to smaller technological capabilities than screw and drum presses, primarily the standard dimensions of the pressed fuel. At the same time, in the process of developing equipment for obtaining pressed fuel, certain technical solutions can be partially or completely borrowed from the designs of equipment for pressing oil raw materials, granulation of compound feed for animal husbandry and poultry farming, as well as processing of polymer materials. The modern concept of the circular economy, which consists in achieving synergy between the economy, society and the environment, is extremely relevant, and not the last factor in its implementation can be the efficient production and consumption of compressed fuel for the generation of thermal and electrical energy.

The Development of Open Banking and the Analysis of Third-Party Providers in Azerbaijan
Authors:   Azerbaijan State University of Economics, Baku, Azerbaijan, Abbasov Aliakbar
Published: December 2024

The concept of open banking emerged less than 10 years ago, but today, millions of people in Europe use open banking products. In particular, in the UK, more than half of consumers have used them at least once. In Azerbaijan, the Central Bank took the first step towards implementing open banking in 2018, creating an instant payment system. In October 2021, the Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan presented the Open Banking Roadmap for 2021-2025. This study reflects the current situation of introducing the open banking model in Azerbaijan. The primary research objective is to provide an overview of the open banking landscape in Azerbaijan, enhance information accessibility, and position it as a subject for comparative analysis with open banking practices adopted in various global regions. The author used qualitative methodology, including content analysis and comparison methods, to assess the readiness of the current financial sector for the open banking approach, its features, the development of third-party providers (TPPs), and the interest in the open banking approach. The official website of the Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the results of previous independent research are the sources of data on open banking in Azerbaijan that were used for the analysis. The analysis revealed a limited development of TPPs offering open banking services and deficiencies related to the structural aspects of explicit consent in Azerbaijan. Although the implementation of open banking in Azerbaijan is somewhat later than in other countries, the steps taken by the government indicate a prospect for the rapid development of the open banking model. An important step in this direction was the adoption of the Law "On Payment Services and Payment Systems" covering open banking, the acquisition of licenses by TPPs within the framework of the regulatory approach, support of open banking services, and API support. Azerbaijan's current open banking development follows the regulatory-based European model and the Berlin Group standard for API security. It is considered more secure than other market-based and hybrid approaches in ensuring customer safety in open banking. For the faster development of the open banking model in Azerbaijan, features such as ease of use, speed of transactions, security, elimination of forced dependence on multiple banking applications using TPPs, and the ability to control personal financial data features should be presented to the society with social networks, and other by means.
Corporate Governance's Role in Shaping Tax Avoidance Strategies
Authors:   University of Tarumanagara, Jakarta, Indonesia, Winarta Peter , Yuniarwati Yuniarwati ,   University of Tarumanagara, Jakarta, Indonesia
Published: December 2024

Companies are increasingly resorting to tax avoidance, a strategy aimed at reducing the tax burden within the law, to accumulate more capital. Understanding the drivers of tax avoidance is crucial for both regulatory bodies and businesses, particularly in a climate of heightened scrutiny of corporate behaviour. This study examines the intricate relationships between profitability, solvency, good corporate governance (GCG), and tax avoidance. The study focuses on firms in the energy sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2021 and 2023. The research adopts a quantitative design, which allows for examining causal relationships between variables. The study examines how tax avoidance is impacted by profitability and solvency as independent factors, with sound corporate governance serving as a moderating variable. The information used for analysis came from secondary sources, specifically the audited annual financial statements of the selected energy sector companies, which were accessed from the IDX website. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with a Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach was employed for data analysis. he findings indicate that profitability has a significant negative impact on tax avoidance, while solvency exhibits a positive but insignificant effect. Furthermore, good corporate governance does not mitigate the association between tax avoidance and profitability or solvency. This research provides valuable insights for financial management within the energy sector, emphasizing the need for a deeper comprehension of the relationship between tax avoidance and profitability and solvency, alongside the necessity for good corporate governance practices to enhance transparency, and suggests that tax regulations should be adjusted to account for the effects of profitability on tax avoidance behaviour. The results suggest that, despite the limited influence of governance mechanisms in moderating tax avoidance, companies should still strive to enhance governance practices and transparency. By integrating strong tax compliance measures and a commitment to ethical conduct, companies can reduce their exposure to the reputational and legal risks associated with tax avoidance, even if governance does not directly moderate their tax behaviours.

Breakeven analysis for multiple products can help managers understand how each product or service contributes to a company's overall profitability and performance. It can help identify the most and least profitable products or services and how to optimize the company's sales mix and pricing strategy. This paper presents a step-by-step process of an integrated multiple product analysis for the derivation of multiple product breakeven point coupled with the process of allocation of limiting factor in multiple product cases. Accordingly, the author used a hypothetical case of the Integrated Juicy Products PTY to demonstrate an integrated process of conducting multiple product breakeven analysis, derivation of multiple breakeven point and separate breakeven point of each product among the multiple products. Additionally, the research presents insight into the procedural allocation of a limiting factor of production to optimize product mix and profit contribution. In this study, the procedural analysis demonstrates the optimum usage of the limiting factor and the attendant optimum production in the multiple mix of products, culminating in the optimum contribution margin. To buttress the optimization implication of limiting factor allocation, it concludes by presenting a comparison of total contribution using equal allocation of limiting factor to accentuate the fact that in times of limiting factor, the optimum contribution is attainable with optimal allocation of limiting factor of production through the prioritizing of the products with higher contribution per unit of limiting factor. The paper offers insights for practical application in multiple product companies and case teaching and research in business schools.

The phytochemical, antibacterial and cytotoxic characteristics of Piper betle L., leaf extract was examined. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of glycosides, alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The presence of different phytochemicals will help in anticipating their pharmacological action in searching for bioactive agents. Antibacterial effects were evaluated against six bacterial strains. The tested extract exhibited no antibacterial action against any bacterial strains investigated. Cytotoxicity was assessed on HeLa and Vero cell lines employing the Cell Counting Kit-8 test. The methanolic extract exhibited cytotoxicity against HeLa and Vero cells with an IC50 value of 270 μg/ml and 240 μg/ml, respectively.  This preliminary investigation highlights the promising anticancer activities of P. betle leaf extract in vitro, suggesting its potential for developing novel anticancer agents. However, cytotoxicity towards Vero cells raises concern for fundamental research in drug discovery and regulatory decision-making, thereby shaping the course of subsequent studies and applications.

The functional properties and mineral nutrients of eleven rice cultivars were investigated. Among the cultivars, Mapillai samba, Arupadham kuruvai, and Karuppu kavuni recorded the presence of higher levels of carbohydrate (67.88mg/100g, 67.47mg/100g and 62.30mg/100g, respectively). Higher levels of fibre of 3.27mg/100g, 2.61 mg/100g and 2.36mg/100g were recorded in Kalabath, Poonkar and Sigappu kavuni, respectively. Higher level of protein content of 15.39mg/100g, 10.80mg/100g and 9.61mg/100g, were recorded in Illupaipoo samba, Thooyamalli and Poonkar, respectively. Interestingly, Kalabath recorded more nitrogen (2.52mg/100g), Mappillai samba recorded more iron (301.70ppm) and manganese (23.02ppm), Arupadahm kuruvai recorded more phosphorus (0.37%) and magnesium (0.98%), Sugappu kavuni recorded more copper (20.26ppm), Karunguruvai recorded more potassium (0.41%) and zinc (40.98ppm). The findings suggested that conventional rice varieties with enhanced functional attributes could support the agricultural community by improving the farming economy while also increasing the health advantages for consumers.

Published: December 2024

The current study aimed to develop an effective micropropagation protocol for Bambusa vulgaris var. striata, through direct organogenesis using nodal explant. The maximum axillary bud break (84%) with the greatest number of shoots per explant (5.20 ± 0.37) was achieved using liquid MS medium containing 2.5 mg/l BAP and 1.5 mg/l TDZ, while the maximum length of shoots (7.12 ± 0.27 cm) was induced on 2.0 mg/l BAP. Shoots were multiplied in stirred liquid MS medium with 3.0 mg/l BAP, resulting in the highest number of shoots per culture (13.20 ± 0.58) with the shoot length of 7.32 ± 0.48 cm. BAP in combination with TDZ resulted in a feeble response to shoot proliferation; although in some cases, the presence of TDZ with BAP was inhibitory. The shoots progressively increased in number and length over the first four subculture cycles in the aforementioned medium, but declined in the 5th sub-culture cycle. Following the 4th sub-culture cycle, each culture produced 16.60 ± 0.60 shoots with an average length of 8.96 ± 0.61 cm. Adding 10% coconut water to the medium resulted in excellent shoot growth and development, with an average of 18.40 ± 1.44 shoots per culture, measuring 8.56 ± 0.79 cm. Half-strength MS medium with 3.0 mg/l IBA resulted in the highest rooting percentage (85%) and the most roots per culture (8.00 ± 0.71). Successful acclimatization of well-rooted clumps of 3-4 shoots was achieved in a mixture of soil, sand, and compost (2:1:1) with 85% survival rate.

Influence of arbuscular mycorrhiza on salt tolerance of Kosteletzkya virginica (l.) C. Presl ex A. Gray
Authors: Zai Yu , Liu Shaohua
Published: December 2024

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Glomus mosseae (G. mosseae) on Na+ intercept ability in root tissues of Kosteletzkya virginica (K. avirginica) grown under salt stress. Pot experiments in greenhouse were carried out in K. avirginica inoculated with Glomus mosseae under 1% NaCl stress. The Na+, K+ concentrations, distribution and growth parameters of K. avirginica were analyzed. Salinization reduced phosphorus (P) and chlorophyll contents, root and shoot dry weight. Salinity dramatically increased Na+ concentrations, but decreased K+ contents and K+ / Na+ ratio in shoot and root significantly (p < 0.05). Inoculated plants showed higher P concentrations, dry weight in both roots and shoots than non-inoculated ones. Compared with non-inoculated plants, G. mosseae inoculation accumulated Na+ mainly in the roots, and maintained higher K+ / Na+ ratio in the shoots. The X-ray microanalysis of root transverse section showed that roots endoderm of inoculated plants could strongly retain the transport of Na+ to stellar parenchyma vessels maintaining more Na+ in the roots whereas keep higher K+ / Na+ ratio in the shoots than that of non-inoculated seedlings. The elevated Na+ intercept ability in root tissues of mycorrhizal plants may help in improving the tolerance of K. avirginica to salt stress.

Published: December 2024

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of seed soaking treatment of TIBA (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 ppm) on growth, yield and photosynthetic pigment content of chickpea var. BARI Chhola-6. Results revealed that TIBA had mostly retarding effects on plant height of BARI Chhola-6 with both significant and non-significant variations. The Number of branches and leaves per plant was positively influenced following all concentrations of TIBA where, seed treated with 35 ppm TIBA produced the highest values. Results revealed that TIBA treatments had inducing effects on flower initiation and completion. Application of TIBA induced the yield and yield attributes of BARI Chhola-6 where, 30 ppm TIBA produced the highest number of pods (72.25), maximum number of seeds per plant (112.13), 100-seed weight (23.84g) and yield per plant (15.92g). TIBA had pronounced effects on the photosynthetic pigment content of BARI Chhola-6 although 35 ppm TIBA resulted maximum values but not significantly different from 30 ppm and some other treatments. Of seven treatmnts, 30 ppm TIBA produced better stimulations.
