Authors: Krishnan Ramesh , Wei Loon Koe , Othman Rozana , Muthusamy Geetha , Alias Nurul Ezaili 
Published: November 2019

Although much research attention has been given to study the effect of perceived job characteristics on various work outcomes, few have specifically examined the joint effect of perceived job characteristics and self-efficacy on employee work engagement. This study aimed to examine the role of self-efficacy as a moderator in the perceived job characteristics-work engagement relationship. A total of 646 employees from the healthcare sector in Malaysia participated in this study. A moderated hierarchical regression analysis revealed a positive effect of job characteristics (autonomy, skill variety, feedback, task significance, task identity) with work engagement and a significant interaction between task identity and self-efficacy in predicting employee work engagement. Managerial implications and directions for future research are discussed.

DRIVERS OF AUDIT FAILURE AND FRAUDULENT FINANCIAL REPORTING: EVIDENCE FROM NIGERIAN DISTRESSED BANKS
Authors: Akhidime Augustine Ehijeagbon 
Published: November 2019

This study examined the drivers (prime facilitators and the motivations) of fraudulent financial reporting and audit failures in distressed Nigerian distressed banks. The study carried out an analytical review of literature that includes previous empirical studies, reports of investigations of the Nigerian Banks by Financial Regulatory Agencies and content analysis of the audited financial statements of the distressed banks. The major findings of this study are that the Audit failures that featured in the distressed banks were driven by the overwhelming influence of the board over their auditors. The board through the purchase of their ‘desired’ poor audit quality’ at high cost, exposed the auditors to economic bonding which compromised their independence and facilitated the issuance of favourable/unqualified audit opinion on the board’s fraudulent financial statements that covered up the boards unethical management practices and material irregularities that undermined the going concern prospects of the banks. The auditors favourable opinions were proved to be untrue, thus resulting in Audit failures. The policy implications of the inferences from this study is that the Nigerian legal and corporate accounting and auditing framework require the fundamental re-engineering of its rules and structure so as to shield auditors from the undue influence of the boards, checkmate the excesses of the executive directors through the upward review of the proportion of non-executive directors on boards, while also providing adequate control over the periodic upward review of audit fees.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Green public procurement (GPP) is an instrument for public institutions that have made sustainable consumption and financial aids savings, particularly taking into consideration expenses of the total life cycle of the agreement, not just the procurement price. Municipalities are important to promotion of sustainable consumption through their positive effects on citizens and other stakeholders. The present paper analyses the contribution of municipalities of the Republic of Latvia in developing sustainable consumption through GPP.
The aim of the paper is to explore the development of GPP in municipalities, analysing influencing factors. By analysing data from the Procurement Supervision Agency and the State Regional Development Agency, the proportion of GPP is explored. The paper includes data collected in a survey of municipalities of Latvia aiming to identify the main factors that promote the development of GPP and the ones that are obstacles for implementing the GPP. The conclusions show that GPP is a relatively new activity in Latvia, especially in relation to sustainable consumption. Analytical, graphic, statistical research methods as well as other qualitative and quantitative research methods have been used in the research.
The Union State and Actual Problems of Russian- Byelorussian Integration
Authors: Shurubovich A. V. 
Published: November 2019

December 8, 2019 will be the 20-eth anniversary of signing of the Treaty of creation of the Union state by the presidents of Russia and Byelorussia. The phenomenon of the Union state (US) and the road passed by it are sufficiently contradictory. On the one hand, the US is undoubtedly the most advanced integration alignment on the post-Soviet area and a pattern for other associations. For the period of forming of the US considerable progress in all spheres of cooperation has been achieved. The mutual trade volume grew from $9,3 bln in 2000 to $35,6 bln in 2018. Investment cooperation and industrial cooperation are developing, joint programs are being realized. The documents aimed at securing of equal rights of the two countries’ citizens have been signed and are being realized; military and political as well as cooperation at the regional level is developing. On the other hand, many aims of the US have not been attained, its construction has actually been frozen. The integration process evidently slips, many conceptual issues of the union construction stay unsettled. Serious contradictions between the parties on a number of important economic and political issues remain; periodically serious conflicts (“oil”, “gas”, “milk” etc.) accompanied by “information wars” and questioning the prospects of the Russian-Byelorussian integration arise. Recently Russia raises a question of the necessity to accelerate integration in the framework of the US binding it with maintenance of preferences for Byelorussia in mutual economic relations. The action program of the two countries aimed at activization of integration cooperation in the US is being prepared. However, between the parties serious differences stipulated, first of all, by unwillingness of Byelorussia to waive its sovereignty still remain. Just in the near time it will be clear whether the parties will manage to overcome these differences and start a new stage in the development of integration.
Development of Сooperation Between Kyrgyzstan and the European Union at the Present Stage
Authors: Valeeva R. A. 
Published: November 2019

After the collapse of the USSR, the West received favorable conditions for promoting its geopolitical interests. Accordingly, the European Union began to establish relations with the countries of Central Asia. The EU policy in Central Asia in the early 90s of the twentieth century is characterized by the fact that Brussels concentrated its efforts on the allocation of economic assistance, the promotion of democracy and market relations. The EU policy in the Central Asian republics was based on cooperation and partnership Agreements signed with the leadership of the countries of the region. These agreements were intended to formalize the political and economic relations of the countries of the region with the EU. The role of the Central Asian countries in EU foreign policy was more clearly defined after the adoption of the European Union Strategy for Central Asia in 2007. The European Union has taken a number of steps to strengthen its position in the region. Several formats of bilateral and regional cooperation have been created, and EU representative offices have been opened in the countries of the region.Over the past decade, the European Union has significantly intensified its foreign policy in Central Asia. It expanded diplomatic ties and successfully implemented mechanisms for developing cooperation with Central Asia. In particular, it has expanded its presence in the region, successfully launching several of its strategic programs in various areas of cooperation.In 2019, the European Union adopted a new Strategy for Central Asia. This is the first radical revision of the document adopted in 2007. This indicates a desire to update the base of interac tion and to build relations with the countries of the region in a new way. The European Union pays special attention to such areas of cooperation as energy issues, global security problems and joint struggle against the threats of terrorism, Islamic fundamentalism and radical extremism, transport and infrastructure. Particular attention is paid to the prospects and problems of the EU’s interaction with the Kyrgyz Republic, which cover various aspects: political, economic, social, trade, cultural. On 19 November 2017, the European Union and the Kyrgyz Republic began negotiations to update the existing bilateral agreement, which is intended to replace the partnership and cooperation Agreement. After the completion of the negotiations, a new agreement on expanded partnership and cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and the European Union was initialed on July 6, 2019. It includes new areas of cooperation and significantly improves the regulatory framework for trade and economic relations in accordance with WTO rules and regional economic agreements. The new agreement provides for cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and the EU in areas such as: policy and reform, enhanced cooperation in foreign policy and security issues, in the areas of justice, security and freedoms, as well as in trade.

Authors: Zuluaga-Idarraga Lina Marcela , Tamayo Perez Maria-Eulalia , Aguirre-Acevedo Daniel Camilo 
Published: November 2019

Objetivo:Comparar la eficacia y seguridad de los esquemas de primaquina actualmente usados para prevenir las recaídas de malaria por P. vivax.Métodos:A través de una revisión sistemática se identificaron ensayos clínicos que evaluaran la eficacia y seguridad para prevenir recurrencias por P. vivax del régimen de primaquina 0.5 mg/Kg/día por 7 o 14 días comparado al régimen estándar de 0.25 mg/Kg/día por 14 días. Se determinó la eficacia de primaquina con la incidencia acumulada de recurrencias posterior a 28 días. Se estimó el riesgo relativo global con un meta-análisis de efectos fijos.Resultados:Se identificaron 7 ensayos clínicos para el régimen 0.5 mg/Kg/día/7 días que mostraron una incidencia de recurrencias entre 0% y 20% con un seguimiento de 60 a 210 días; solo 4 estudios compararon con el régimen estándar y no se encontraron diferencias en las recurrencias entre ambos esquemas (RR= 0.977; IC 95%= 0.670-1.423). Se identificaron tres ensayos clínicos que usaron el esquema 0.5 mg/Kg/día/14 días con una incidencia de recurrencias entre 1.8% y 18.0% para 330 a 365 días; solo un estudio comparó con el régimen estándar (RR= 0.846; IC 95%= 0.484-1.477). Se encontró alto riesgo de sesgo y diferencias en la conducción de los estudios incluidos.Conclusión:No hay suficiente evidencia para determinar si los regímenes de primaquina usados como alternativas al tratamiento estándar tienen mejor eficacia para prevenir las recaídas de P. vivax. Se requieren ensayos clínicos para orientar los cambios en el esquema de tratamiento de este tipo de malaria.

Published: November 2019

La Gestión de Riesgo Empresarial, conocida como Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) se ha relacionado con la performance y el riesgo que asumen las empresas. Las compañías que usan ERM deben mejorar la comprensión de los riesgos a nivel agregado, mejorando la eficiencia del capital invertido, la rentabilidad, la mejora de la comunicación interna y de la reducción de las asimetrías informativas. El objetivo ha sido mostrar las características administrativas y el nivel de riesgo en las organizaciones. Además, estudiar el mejoramiento de dicha gestión sobre el rendimiento de las empresas y su impacto sobre la estabilidad financiera. Se ha utilizado el método hipotético-deductivo, con enfoque analítico, fundamentadas a partir de diferentes planteamientos teóricos y estudios empíricos previos. Los resultados obtenidos constatan que el riesgo al que se exponen las empresas depende de forma relevante de las decisiones que toman las personas implicadas en la gestión. Las conclusiones que se obtuvieron fueron que las empresas familiares se interesan en menor medida por implementar ERM salvo cuando los accionistas disponen de un mayor control de la empresa, en cuyo caso estarán más motivados a implementar sistemas de gestión del riesgo.
The Role of E-health in 24-h Monitoring of Central Haemodynamics and Vascular Function
Authors: Omboni Stefano 
Published: November 2019

AbstractRecent advances in Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA) technology enable Blood Pressure (BP) measuring devices to combine the non-invasive estimation of different vascular biomarkers in ambulatory conditions. This approach allows obtaining a dynamic assessment of vascular function during the 24-h in the conditions of daily life, including night sleep. In spite of the present limited proof of the prognostic significance of 24-h ambulatory PWA, data is accumulating indicating the ability of these techniques to facilitate the early screening of vascular alterations and to improve individual Cardiovascular (CV) risk stratification. The integration of 24-h PWA with e-health and telehealth may help boost the implementation of this approach in the routine clinical evaluation of patients at risk. Telehealth-based 24-h PWA may help standardize the evaluation of recordings by making available to doctors and researchers validated analytical algorithms through dedicated web services. It may facilitate the setup of a worldwide network between expert centres and peripheral hubs in order to improve the quality of the patient’s assessment and to provide personalized care. It may establish communication between healthcare professionals and patients allowing remote monitoring and direct counselling, ultimately improving patients’ health status. The use of telehealth may also allow creating registries and collecting big-data, useful to validate and improve the quality of the algorithms, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) tools for predicting patients’ risk and guide clinical care. Preliminary evidence from one of such registries (the Vascular health ASsessment Of The hypertENSive, VASOTENS Registry) seems to indicate that telehealth-based networks may be effective to collect definitive proof of the clinical utility of 24-h PWA.

Eponyymiset idiomit suomen kielessä – esimerkkitapauksena presidenttiviitteiset verbilausekekonstruktiot
Suomen kielelle on tyypillistä käyttää monikkoa muissakin funktiossa kuin pelkkää useutta ilmaisemassa. Lisäksi suomen kielessä, kuten myös mm. englannissa ja ruotsissa, saatetaan erisnimiä käyttää varsinaisen käyttötarkoituksen lisäksi myös yleisnimen tapaan. Erottuakseen normaalista käytöstä erisnimi on usein kirjoitettu pienellä alkukirjaimella ja sitä käytetään monikossa.
Tässä tutkimuksessa keskitymme eponyymisiin konstruktioihin, tehdä + Nprop-PL -muotoisiin verbilausekeidiomeihin, jotka koostuvat tehdä-verbistä ja komplementista, joka on monikossa oleva erisnimi. Tyyppinä idiomi on varsin yleinen, vaikka sitä ei yleensä sanakirjoissa nähdä, koska sen merkitys on tilannesidonnainen ja pääteltävissä yleensä ainoastaan kontekstista.
Tutkimuskohteeksi on valittu Suomen tasavallan presidenttien nimen sisältävät idiomit, esim. tehdä kekkoset, tehdä tarjahaloset, tehdä Niinistöt. Aineisto koostuu 299 idiomista, jotka on koottu internetistä.
Melkein kohti, ihan lähellä, melko edessä
Authors: Huumo Tuomas 
Published: November 2019

Artikkelissani tarkastelen erilaisten astemääritteiden ja neljäntyyppisten spatiaalisten grammien yhteisesiintymisen mahdollisuuksia. Tarkasteltavat grammiryhmät ovat a) topologiset (lähellä, kaukana, luona), b) suuntaa ilmaisevat (kohti, ohi), c) tarkentavat (keskellä, kohdalla) ja d) akseligrammit (edessä, takana). Astemääritteet jaan kahteen pääryhmään: skalaarisesti avoimiin (vähän, melko, hyvin, erittäin) ja sulkeisiin (melkein, täysin, ihan, aivan, tarkalleen). Edelliset määrittävät yleensä skalaarisesti rajaamatonta ominaisuutta ilmaisevia adjektiiveja (vähän ruma – hyvin kaunis, erittäin hyvä – melko huono), jälkimmäiset rajallista ominaisuutta ilmaisevia (melkein tyhjä – ihan täysi, tarkalleen puolitäysi, aivan tosi – täysin epätosi). Varsinaisten astemääritteiden lisäksi tarkastelen matkan ja etäisyyden ilmauksia (kaksi metriä). Selvitän, millaista skalaarisuutta kunkin grammiryhmän yhteydessä voidaan ilmaista ja mitä astemääritteiden ja grammien myötäesiintymisen mahdollisuus ja yhteismerkitykset kertovat grammien semantiikasta ja niiden hakualueiden luonteesta.
