A Study on Impact of Consolidation on the Profitability of Regional Rural Banks in India
Authors: Chaudhary Sandeep , Kaur Mandeep
Published: May 2022

Consolidation in the form of mergers or amalgamation has always seemed to be an option to revive loss-making and inefficient banks or firms. Consolidation supporters argue that minimizing surplus capacity in banking will eliminate the industry of inefficient operating financial institutions. The present study aimed to empirically analyse the effect of amalgamation on the performance of regional rural banks (RRBs) in India. A paired t-test (univariate analysis) has been employed to evaluate pre- and post-amalgamation comparisons of various profitability proxies. The results revealed that return on equity increased significantly in the post-merger period. In the second stage of analysis, panel regression has been employed; the results confirmed the findings of univariate analysis and revealed a significant increase in ROE in the post amalgamation period. Hence, supporting the theories of value creation of mergers and acquisitions (M &As), the present research states that the profitability performance of regional rural banks in India has increased marginally after the M&As exercise.

Published: May 2022

Increased awareness of the environmental impacts associated with excessive carbon dioxide emissions generated from cement production has led to great strides in developing technologies and materials aimed at reducing such impacts. A large amount of work has been carried out worldwide related to the design of more sustainable concrete mixes that take advantage of natural elements or those recovered from waste. This work analyzes a set of alternatives for substitutes of concrete mix aggregates that guarantee the best levels of resistance to compression and also comply with the principles of environmental sustainability. To do this, the TOPSIS multi-criteria decision method is used to determine the preferred substitute alternative for aggregates based on certain criteria. The analysis carried out using the TOPSIS method revealed that the alternative with the highest level of proximity to the ideal solution was the use of recycled glass as an additive to the concrete mix. It was observed that the specialists considered the environmental impact and the resistance and durability of the resulting concrete as the most important criteria to assess. A qualitative comparison of the alternatives resulting from the analysis was carried out to verify the results achieved by the method used.

Authors: Del-Busto Felipe , Mainar-Toledo María Dolores , Ballestín-Trenado Víctor
Published: May 2022

European Union (EU) islands face vast challenges to cope with climate targets while handling complex stakeholders’ networks. This study aims to propose a Participatory Process Protocol to enhance the output of energy plans and projects through the effective engagement of local stakeholders. A knowledge transfer methodology is set to build on a successful experience of the Mediterranean port-cities of Málaga, Cádiz and Sète, now adapted into the case of European Union’s islands advancing with energy developments. First, a clustering analysis is carried out for inhabited islands, resulting in 4 clusters that serve as the classification for the calculation of energy transition Key Performance Indicators according to information received from 70 islands. Based on this, the original Protocol is restructured as a complement for the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan methodology, the one most adopted by European islands. Finally, how the Protocol might be implemented depending on the particularities of each cluster is discussed, as well as for the case of Spanish islands (Gran Canaria, Tenerife, and La Palma). Specific suggestions and key recommendations for the implementation of the Participatory Process Protocol are mentioned, as an instrument that could raise strategic suggestions from stakeholders to enhance the results of decision-making processes.

Published: May 2022

In the context of covid-19 pandemic, effective recruitment of prospective employees from campuses can assist businesses in recovering and even winning on the market. However, this process requires an updated and concrete understanding of the young talents. In this paper, the authors explore which factors affect the intention to apply for a job of economics students in Ho Chi Minh City in consideration of the pandemic’s impacts. A significant part of the proposed model was based on clues retrieved from prior studies on organizational attractiveness. Based on the analysis of data collected from 206 economics-majored undergraduates from tertiary institutions based in Ho Chi Minh City, the authors find that the diversity inherent in the job and work practices at a company strongly influences the applying intent. Economic dimension, together with opportunities to learn and advance, is the next important predictors of intention to apply. The students’ intentions of applying are also affected by their perceptions of the social values and company’s reputation.

Authors: Dam Vu Duc Hieu , Phan Hong Mai
Published: May 2022

The paper aimed to examine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on various stock markets around the world by applying the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique. To be specific, we investigated the relationship between monthly growth in newly reported COVID-19 cases and monthly market transaction value growth in 46 stock markets around the world from December 2019 to January 2021. The findings revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic produced a positive effect on the trading value of the stock markets, which are complementary to the results of prior papers in the early period of the epidemic. Therefore, from the individual perspective, the stock market is a relevant source for compensating the foregone earnings caused by the disruption of economic activities. From the managerial perspective, appropriate conditions such as financial support for investors and listed companies, improvements in technological infrastructure and administrative procedures should be provided to maintain the activities of the stock markets - which contribute a lot to the recovery of the national financial system.
False hyperparathyroids secondary to biotin prolonged use: a case report
Authors: Neves Georgeanne , Lira Eduardo Carvalho
Published: May 2022

A 55-year-old overweight female patient with elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, without any other major plasma biochemical abnormalities, and with normal vitamin D and calcium levels. The condition was suggestive of normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism. Bone densitometry and 24-hour calciuria were normal. After extensive investigation and possible referral for exploratory surgery, the patient reported continued and chronic use of biotin supplementation (2.5 mg per day). Repeated tests after discontinuing the use of vitamin B7 showed normal PTH levels without surgical or pharmacological interventions. Biotin supplementation associated with the use of this vitamin as a component of biological assays for hormone dosage can generate incorrect laboratory results, which puts medical conduct at risk with inaccurate diagnoses and unnecessary procedures. Although, different substances or emotional conditions can interfere with hormone dosages, one must consider the use of food supplements such as biotin since it can also generate unreliable results. Discontinuation of the use of biotin, in addition to the assessment of serum biotin levels prior to hormone dosing is necessary for a correct evaluation of serum PTH levels. This study was analyzed and approved by the Research Ethics Committee, and obtaining the Informed Consent Form according to CNS/CONEP Resolution 466/12.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: Truck drivers are of great importance to the Brazilian economy. The exorbitant workload and long periods away from home are causes of the adoption of unhealthy eating habits, such as the intake of foods that are sources of lipids with high caloric value. Extensive travel contributes to a sedentary lifestyle. This causes health damage and comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, stress, and depression. Based on these considerations, the present study evaluates the nutritional profile of truck drivers. Objective: It was to evaluate the food quality of truck drivers in the Center-South Geoeconomic Region of the country, comparing the portions of macronutrients consumed with those recommended by the Brazilian Food Pyramid. Methods: Observational and cross-sectional study. The consumption of macronutrients by 100 truck drivers from the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul and Goiás was qualitatively evaluated. The research used 24-hour food recalls, completed online, via Google Forms, between June and September 2020. Statistical analysis was obtained by calculating the Wilcoxon's non-parametric test to compare the medians of ingested portions and the ideas. Results: The Wilcoxon test identified significant differences between the number of servings consumed by truck drivers and the recommended ideal with regard to fruits, vegetables/vegetables, oils/fats, meats/eggs, sweets/sugars, milk, cheese and derivatives (p<0.0001). Only the portions of carbohydrates were in accordance with the nutritional recommendations, that is, six portions a day (ns). In the class of sugars and sweets, consumption four times higher than recommended was observed. In the meat and eggs category, consumption was double the ideal. In oils and fats, triple the recommended value. The consumption of milk and dairy products is three times less than ideal, such as vegetables. Finally, the average value of fruit portions eaten by truck drivers was zero, while the recommended value is three. Conclusion: Among the food groups analyzed, carbohydrates were the only group in which consumption was adequate. There was a significant excess of sweets and fats intake by truck drivers, when compared to the ideal amount indicated by the food pyramid. The intake of milk and dairy products, vegetables and legumes was deficient, three times lower than recommended. Fruits counted as a median intake value of zero servings.

Published: May 2022

This study aims to determine the relationship between mothers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practice in maintaining children’s dental health with caries status of milk teeth in Early Childhood students aged five years in Pondok Labu Village, Cilandak, South Jakarta. Data analysis was carried out using a computer program including univariate and bivariate (chi-square) analysis. The results showed that most students ( 68.5%) had caries in their milk teeth, and only 31.5% were caries-free. These results indicate that the caries-free state of students aged five years in the Early Childhood Pondok Labu sub-district, South Jakarta is still far from the target set by WHO as well. Indonesia’s national target is healthy, where the caries-free rate in children aged five years is targeted at 90%. However, this result is better than the study on the prevalence of dental caries in children 3-5 years old in Sawah Village, Ciputat Subdistrict, and Cilandak Village, Pasar Minggu Subdistrict in 2003, where the results obtained that the prevalence of caries in milk teeth was 86.4% or a caries-free rate of 13.6. % in children aged five years. The results also showed that mothers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices in maintaining their children’s dental health were good, where 83.9 % of mothers had good knowledge, 54% of mothers had good attitudes, and 69.4% of mothers had good practices and good in maintaining the dental health of their children. Still, statistical tests showed no significant relationship between the variables of mothers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices in keeping children’s dental health with the presence or absence of caries in the baby’s milk teeth.

Authors: Mozartha Martha , Hudiyati Maya , Anastasia Danica
Published: May 2022

Curcuma zedoaria is known to have antibacterial and antifungal activity, and have the potential to be used as an irrigation solution in endodontic treatment. Endodontic irrigant that is going to be used clinically has to go through a series of research, to ensure effectiveness and safety without adverse side effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of extracts of C. zedoaria with concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 20% as endodontic irrigation on the expression of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α on Wistar rat. This experimental study used extracts of C.zedoaria with concentrations of 5%, 10%, 20%, as tested groups, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite as the positive control, and saline solution as a negative control group. Thirty male adult Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus) with an average weight of 150-200 g were included in this study. The dermis of each rat was marked with a circle and 0.1 ml of each irrigant was injected subcutaneously by using a syringe. The evaluation was made 14 days after injection. The expression of cytokine TNF-α was assessed with the IHC method. The percentage of TNF-α expression was evaluated and analyzed by using One-way Anova followed by Tukey Post Hoc test. The results of this study revealed that the highest percentage of TNF-α expression is positive control group (5.25% NaOCl). Furthermore, the higher the concentration of C. zedoaria extract, the greater the percentage of TNF-α expression. One-way Anova results showed that there was a significant difference between groups (p ≤ 0.05). From the results of the Tukey test, it was found there was a significant difference between groups except between the negative control group and the 5% extract group. It can be concluded that C. zedoaria extract 10 and 20% can increase TNF-α expression, but its ability is lower than sodium hypochlorite.

Published: May 2022

Polymer-based composites find applications in several areas because of their exceptional properties. This article deals with Taguchi grey relational optimization method of abrasive parameters (load (L), grit size (G) and sliding distance (D)) and their influence on abrasive performance of reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites. A Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was designed, and nine experimental tests were conducted based on the Taguchi designed experiments. A pin-on-disc tribology machine was used for the experiments. The coefficient of friction (µ) and abrasive specific wear rate (Aw) were recorded for each experiment. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to establish the significance and percentage contribution of each parameter affecting the abrasive wear performance. Results from the Taguchi-grey-relational method showed that the optimal combination of parameters was achieved at load of 10 N, grit size of 1000 mesh, and sliding distance of 350 m (coded as L3G1D3). ANOVA findings revealed that a grit size with 67.69 % as the most influential on the abrasive performance of polymer-based composites. Validation tests performed using the optimal combination parameter showed an enhancement of 55.22 % in grey relational grade.

Authors: Shaji Ebron , Venugopal Prabhu Raja , Velayudhan Gautham , Selvakumar Mohanraj
Published: May 2022

A numerical model developed using finite element software is used to determine the fatigue life of an arc-welded butt joint with weld defects: lack of penetration, lack of fusion, and undercut, which occur predominantly in welded structures. High-strength, tempered, and quenched fine grain ASTM A517 grade F structural steel, widely used in welded structures, is selected as the base material. The finite element analysis approach adopted in the present work is validated using the experimental and analytical results by performing a benchmark study. The validated numerical approach is then used to generate datasets for developing an empirical model for predicting the fatigue life of a butt joint with defects, modelled as cracks at specific locations, subjected to bending and/or membrane stresses. An experimental investigation was undertaken to validate the empirical model. The influencing parameters are ranked based on their severity on the fatigue life of butt joint.

Corporate Identity is the identity of a company which consists of visual identity (name, logo, trademark, typography, color, etc.) and verbal identity (slogan, tagline, etc.). Corporate identity is an active effort to build an image within the company. One example of a company that requires a corporate identity as a new image builder and to introduce it to the public is the clothing company CV ADHI BUMI LESTARI. Where this company is a new company engaged in the clothing vendor (sewing, screen printing and computer embroidery). In an effort to increase sales, the company makes advertisements and promotions through various media such as visual and print media. New companies will compete to get attention from customers or target markets, so companies need to make their company different from other companies by creating an image so that the company is easily recognized and remembered by the public. The existence of the corporate identity of the company is considered unable to present the company's vision and mission. The visual form of the company's identity does not reflect the image to be conveyed. Therefore, to deal with these problems and shape the public's visual of the daily use brand, a graphic system that describes the corporate identity is needed through the formation of a new corporate identity. Through research methods and data obtained through observations, interviews and literature.
