The first lacertid and partly articulated snake from the Middle Miocene of the Devínska Kobyla Hill in Slovakia, from the type locality of the earliest known seal
Authors: ČERŇANSKÝ Andrej
Published: September 2024

I here describe lacertid and snake remains from the classic Middle Miocene (MN 6) locality Bonanza of the Devínska Kobyla Hill near Bratislava (Slovakia). The locality is famous for being a type locality of an early seal Devinophoca Koretsky & Holec, 2002. During the Middle Miocene, the area of Devínska Nová Ves was part of an archipelago in the western part of the Central Paratethys in the northern part of the Vienna basin. The fossils described here comprise an incomplete left maxilla of a lacertid lizard and an articulated portion of a vertebral column of a small colubrid snake with several ribs still attached. The maxilla is tentativelly allocated here to Lacerta Linnaeus, 1758 and is a rare instance of the occurrence of the clade Lacertidae Oppel, 1811 in this environment during the Middle Miocene. Moreover, it represents the oldest known occurence of this clade in Slovakia. Articulated snake specimens from the Cenozoic are rare and although only party articulated, the specimen from Bonanza is therefore exceptional. On the basis of vertebrae alone, determination of fossil colubrids is very difficult. The morphology of the Bonanza specimen is most similar to the extant Dolichophis Gistel, 1868, as also to other small fossil snakes assigned to ‘Coluber’ Linnaeus, 1758 when that genus was a catch-all grade taxon recognised from both Europe and North America, notably ‘Coluber’ dolnicensis Szyndlar, 1987 and ‘Coluber’ pouchetii (Rochebrune, 1880). Because the potentially closest living relative of the European Miocene ‘Coluber’ is Dolichophis, I assigned tentatively the material from Bonanza to cf. Dolichophis, rather than to the wastebasket taxon ‘Coluber’.

Authors: Shieh Chen Huan
Published: September 2024

This paper attempts to quantify the contribution of services export to economic growth for 89 countries over the period 1970-2018. we estimate growth accounting equations to explore the causal relationship between services export and real GDP, using panel cointegration technique and panel error-correction models (VECM) in combination with fully modified OLS and dynamic OLS methods. Results show that long-run relationships exist and there is strong evidence of causality from services export to income and weak evidence of causality from income to services export. The results substantiate the existence of services export-led growth hypothesis. Further, the results show that in the long-run trade liberalization policies prove is beneficial in promoting productivity and growth.
FINANCE LITERACY AS A TOOL FOR MICROFINANCING: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Malhotra Nishi , Baag Pankaj
Published: September 2024

The research goal of this study is to provide a summary of economic research and literature in the domain of financial literacy. There are 1.7 billion people in the world who do not have access to financial services. One of the goals of the UN Sustainable Development Goals is to reduce poverty through financial inclusion. Financial literacy has risen to prominence as a key element for achieving universal financial inclusion. Financial literacy is defined as the knowledge and ability of a person to understand the financial concepts. There is lack of theoretical framework and quantitative instruments for assessing the impact of financial literacy on financial behaviour. Financial literacy is a major policy issue in the realm of social and sustainable finance. The purpose of this study is to look at the existing literature in the realm of financial literacy and develop a comprehensive definition of financial literacy. For this study, the PRISMA methodology of systematic literature review was used. Financial knowledge, according to the research, does not lead to financial behaviour. Financial attitude plays an important role to transform financial knowledge into financial behaviour. There is need for further research to develop a theoretical framework and a quantitative method for measuring financial literacy. For policymakers and academics, this study will provide thorough insights into the meaning, definition and various dimensions of financial literacy as a concept.
An Analysis of China’s Economic Growth: The Effects of the WTO and the RCEP
Authors: Chen Yueyun (Bill) , Qiao Nika
Published: September 2024

Using econometric models based on the expenditure approach for Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measurement, our research examines the main factors that significantly contributed to China’s economic growth from 1978 to 2020. Our study investigates the impact of accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO)on China’s economy through a comparison of the pre-WTO period (1978-2001) and the post-WTO period (2002-2020).The regression results demonstrate that government consumption, total investment, and total exports contributed more to China’s GDP growth after China entered the WTO. The estimated coefficients for total exports were four to five times larger in the post-WTO period. Our research provides evidence that the WTO accession positively affected China’s economic development and strengthened the effect of exports on GDP growth in China. We find that marginal investment return did not decrease when capital investment increased during the post-WTO period. In addition, we examine the WTO’s effects on China’s economy during the five-year periods before and after joining the WTO. The results show that the WTO helped China stabilize its economy and contributed 2.01-2.37% to China’s average annual GDP growth in the five years after WTO entry. Based on our findings for the WTO, we predict that the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) could potentially increase China’s annual GDP growth by 0.62-0.73%. Finally, we discuss our research’s policy implications for China regarding consumption, capital investment, exports and imports, foreign direct investment (FDI), and research and development (R&D).
PERSISTENCE IN EUROPEAN STOCK MARKET RETURNS AND VOLATILITY
Authors: Guglielmo Maria Caporale  , Ana Rubio-Bezares  , Luis A. Gil-Alana
Published: September 2024

This paper applies fractional integration techniques to analyze persistence in stock market returns and volatility at different frequencies in the case of various European indices, specifically the French CAC, the Spanish IBEX 35, the German DAX, the British FTSE 100, and the Euro Stoxx 50, over the period from January 2018 to January 2023.Returns are calculated as the first differences of the logged prices, while absolute and squared returns are used as volatility proxies. The method used yields estimates of the differencing parameter d, which is allowed to take any real value, including fractional ones, and represents a measure of persistence. This parameter provides information about whether the series of interest exhibit either long memory or mean reversion. Specifically, a value of d greater than 0 indicates the presence of long memory in the series, while a value less than 1 implies mean reversion, with the effects of shocks being transitory. The results vary depending on the data frequency. More precisely, evidence of long memory is found for returns at the daily frequency only and for volatility proxies at both the weekly and daily frequencies but not at the monthly frequency. In most cases our findings imply that stock prices are I(1) and thus follow a random walk, which is consistent with the efficiency markets hypothesis (EMH).
O remorso de Raskólnikov em uma perspectiva schopenhaueriana
Authors: Felipe Ana Paula Manoel
Published: September 2024

O meu objetivo com o presente texto é relacionar o conceito de justiça apresentado por Schopenhauer no §62 de O mundo como vontade e representação com um dos mais célebres romances fundamentais da literatura ocidental, Crime e Castigo de Fiódor Dostoiévski. Tentar-se-á explorar em que medida o personagem principal desse romance se aproxima das definições schopenhauerianas de arrependimento e de remorso. Para tanto, pretendo destacar a importante distinção entre esses sentimentos, a injustiça incursa na mentira e a justificação moral do ato de vingança. Com isso, busca-se evidenciar a esperança dilacerada de Raskólnikov de ser o próximo Napoleão, o sentimento cada vez maior de culpa e o reconhecimento de não atender aos critérios de um homem extraordinário. A análise desses sentimentos de cunho moral diz respeito ao estudo da ética, que para Schopenhauer é extremamente relevante por se tratar da investigação das ações dos seres humanos que afetam cada um de nós.

Published: September 2024

O presente artigo aborda a criação das Escolas de Aprendizes Artífices e do Ensino Profissional no século XIX, que deram origem às Escolas Técnicas Profissionais no Estado de São Paulo, no início do século XX. Com o crescimento das cidades na passagem do século, motivado por trabalhadores nas fábricas e imigrantes recém-chegados, o impacto na cidade de São Paulo foi significativo, incentivando o governo a atender as novas necessidades urbanas e sociais e a redefinição dos processos de instrução para a formação de mão de obra qualificada, para além dos papéis de gênero, nessa configuração social. Pesquisamos a partir das Escolas Profissional Feminina e Masculina (1911), na capital paulista, a expansão de uma significativa rede de escolas profissionais criadas no interior do estado, como Sorocaba, Franca e Ribeirão Preto. O resultado da pesquisa confirmou a hipótese de que essas instituições e cursos, por meio do conhecimento gerado e dos saberes específicos destinados a homens e mulheres, encontram-se na base da formação dos Cursos superiores que constituíram o universo da Moda e do Design de Moda, no final do século XX, no Brasil.
Confluências entre arte e moda na produção de Cindy Sherman e Miuccia Prada
Authors: Estarque Maya Marx
Published: September 2024

Este artigo resulta da pesquisa efetuada durante a tese de doutorado Diálogos entre arte y moda en la actualidad defendida em março de 2015 na Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade de Vigo na Espanha. No panorama da criação contemporânea, a confluência entre arte e moda gera um processo de retroalimentação e hibridação entre campos historicamente delimitados e autônomos. Para entender essa dinâmica, foi feita uma comparação entre a artista Cindy Sherman e a designer de moda Miuccia Prada com base em uma análise individual tanto de seu processo criativo quanto do resultado de sua produção. Estabelecer o corpo como forma de expressão e a roupa como proposta, características que fornecem as linhas de conexão entre arte e moda, permite observar elementos recorrentes desde o processo de criação até o resultado de suas proposições, que corroboram a confluência entre as criadoras e seus respectivos campos.

Published: September 2024

The seems to be less research that has been done on the significance of visual language in South African cartoons so far. As an attempt to bridge this gap, the aim of this research article is to investigate the literary significance of colour and size as visual language features in Mqapheli Mngadi’s South African editorial cartoons. The study is done literary through ‘semiotic – stylistics’ to interpret the ‘visuo – textually’ examined data. The reader response theory is also adopted to aid the analysis. The findings of the study demonstrate that colour and size are used as one of the narrative techniques in Mqapheli Mngadi’s selected cartoons. These features play a significant stylistic role in assisting the cartoonist to express his ideas. While colour is used figuratively or symbolically to present hidden ideas, size is used to depict the socio – political and socio – economic power relations.
La Commission, c’est moi?
Authors: Cotter John
Published: September 2024

Contrary to cartoonish portrayals of Ursula von der Leyen as a latter-day Caesar, who may be illegitimately presidentialising the Commission, the current Commission President is merely furthering a more centralised vision of the institution that is implicit in the extent of her organisational powers under Article 17(6) TEU. While there are strong legal and constitutionally moral arguments for an alternative, more plural executive understanding of the Commission, the Treaties leave room for a contest between presidentialist and pluralist visions to take place across time in the political arena. Moreover, a more presidential conception of the Commission, while it may raise some questions regarding the mode of election of the Commission President and the role of the Commission, may also possess some positives.

Cybersecurity in Healthcare: Securing Patient Health Information (PHI), HIPPA compliance framework and the responsibilities of healthcare providers.
Authors: Abbasi Nasrullah , Smith Derek A.
Published: September 2024

Healthcare industry is major target for cyberattacks, making the protection of public health information (PHI) and Personal Identifiable Information (PII) a prime issue.  In this digital era, with health organizations shifting to electronic health records and telemedicine, they are facing a major cybersecurity attack such as ransomware, phishing, and data breaches. These attacks compromise patient privacy, pose serious risks to patient safety, and hinder healthcare operations. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides a comprehensive compliance framework to protect PHI, wherein health providers shall undertake administrative, physical and technical safeguards. Despite these regulations, many healthcare providers struggle with achieving and maintaining HIPAA compliance due to limited resources, outdated technologies, and the rapidly evolving nature of cyber threats. This paper explores the HIPAA compliance framework, examining the specific responsibilities of healthcare providers to secure PHI. Key measures taken include periodic analysis of risks, establishment of encryption and access control systems, and comprehensive employee training to minimize risks of cyber-attacks. The study highlights that there is a growing need for healthcare providers to adopt proactive, adaptive cybersecurity strategies to deal with emerging threats. By following HIPAA regulations and updating security practices continuously, healthcare providers can protect the PHI, ensure regulatory compliance and safeguarding patient trust. The findings emphasize the role of adhering to regulation and innovation both in managing cyber risks for the healthcare sector.

Assessment was done in cephalograms made prior to treatment (T1), after treatment (T2), and at least 2.5 years after treatment (T3). We monitored the following changes: position of the mandible in autorotation, length of lower face height, vertical position of molars and incisors, overbite, inclination of upper and lower occlusal plane in relation to vertical position of molars. We wanted to establish to what extent the continued growth affects stability of therapy results in individual groups. Results: Mandibular autorotation is the result of treatment methods focused on relative or absolute intrusion of upper molars. The change in parameters after therapyɸ– posteriorotationɸ– was recorded in all groups, and it is probably the result of continuing growth tendency to posteriorotation. Significant change in the length of lower anterior face height was found in the extraction groupɸ– the values were higher. Significant change was recorded only in the extraction group with molar extrusion. Following the therapy, we recorded extrusion in all groups, however, they were not significant. We also observed deeper bite and change in the position of upper incisorsɸ– extrusionɸ– in all patients. Bite was opened in the groups after active molars intrusion and after premolars extraction. Conclusion: Comparison of the parameters between individual groups of patients suggests that, to some extent, it is possible to compensate vertically open bite with vertical position of molars. Radiographs made after the therapy show that the continued growth tendency leads to reopening of bite.

Multi-objective Topology Optimization Design for a Certain Launcher Bracket
Authors: Ma Yue , Shu Qilin , Tan Longjun , Tian Chen
Published: September 2024

To achieve weight reduction and enhance the firing accuracy of a specific type of launch device, the bracket was selected as the optimization subject for multi-objective topology optimization. Single-objective optimization often overlooks other influencing factors. To address the limitations of single-objective optimization, this study adopts the variable density method from the SIMP approach and proposes a multi-objective topology optimization based on compromise programming. This study, through multi-objective topology optimization of the bracket, obtained an optimized topology structure that maximizes static stiffness and the dynamic low-order natural frequencies of the launch device bracket at launch angles of 0°, 53°, and 85°, with an azimuth angle of 0°. Finally, the obtained topology structure was validated using finite element software. The design method presented in this paper not only enhanced the stiffness of the bracket structure for such launch devices and increased the first two natural frequencies of the bracket but also achieved weight reduction. The optimization design process also provides a reference for other mechanical structures.
