Published: June 2020

This paper aims to examine the impact of external credit ratings on the financial decisions of the firms in Pakistan. This study uses the annual data of 70 non-financial firms for the period 2012-2018. It uses ordinary least square (OLS) to estimate the impact of credit rating on capital structure. The results show that rated firm has a high level of leverage. Moreover, Profitability and tanagability are also found to be a significantly negative determinant of the capital structure, whereas, size of the firm has a significant positive relationship with the capital structure of the firm. Besides, there exists a non-linear relationship between the credit rating and the capital structure. The rated firms have higher leverage as compared to the non-rated firms. The high and low rated firms have a low level of leverage, while mid rated firms have a higher leverage ratio. The finding of the study have practical implications for the manager; they can have easier access to the financial market by just having a credit rating no matter high or low. Policymakers must stress upon the rating agencies to keep improving themselves as their rating severs as the measure to judge the creditworthiness of the firm by both the investors and management as well.

The treatments were T1: RD (N75 P12 K45 S9), T2: STB (N74 P11 K36 S7), T3: INM (N54 P5 K27 S5+ CD @ 5.0 t ha−1), T4: Farmer’s practice (N69 P30 K37), and T5: Control (no fertilizer). The NPKS content and uptake by BRRI dhan48 were also influenced significantly due to combined use of manure and fertilizers. The maximum N, P, K and S uptake by grain (35.55, 6.99, 15.20 and 3.38 kg/ha respectively) were obtained from the application of Integrated Nutrient Management. The minimum N, P, K and S uptake by grain (20.08, 3.64, 8.35 and 1.74 kg/ha respectively) were found from T5: Control. Similarly, The maximum N, P, K and S uptake by straw (3.38, 5.43, 99.25 and 7.37 kg/ha respectively) were found from T3: INM. The minimum N, P, K and S uptake by straw (1.74, 2.67, 49.70 and 3.87 kg/ha respectively) were obtained from T5 (Control). The performance of the treatment T3 was better than T1, T2, T4 and T5 in nutrient content and uptake of BRRI dhan48. Considering nutrient content and uptake, the application of chemical fertilizers in combination with manure based on INM could be recommended for BRRI dhan48 production in aus season.

The health of migrants as a global peace and security agenda
Authors: Nhengu Dudziro 
Published: June 2020

English abstract:
This article is a feminist theoretical examination of the nexus between migrants’ health and gender and attempts to fill the gap between existing gendered health and migration policies. Gender-specific challenges faced by female migrants include poor sexual and reproductive health rights, infant mortality, nutritional disorders, and violence. Non-communicable diseases provoke interruption of care in the absence of suitable health care systems and services. As policy makers struggle to develop suitable migration policies, the needs of women often fall through the cracks. Major findings are that migration policy design from micro to macro levels does not align with ratified international protocols on health, resulting in multiple vulnerabilities of female migrants. The study concludes that bilateral migration policy agreements should be comprehensive, binding, gender-sensitive, and participatory.Spanish abstract:
Este es un examen teórico feminista del nexo entre salud de los migrantes y género, e intenta llenar el vacío entre las políticas existentes de salud y migración de género. Las mujeres migrantes enfrentan desafíos específicos de género incluyendo limitados derechos de salud sexual y reproductiva, mortalidad infantil, trastornos nutricionales y violencia. Las necesidades de las mujeres a menudo se quedan atrás en el desarrollo de políticas de migración adecuadas. Los principales hallazgos son que el diseño de la política de migración de los niveles micro a macro no se alinea con los protocolos internacionales de salud ratificados, resultando en múltiples vulnerabilidades de mujeres migrantes. El estudio concluye que los acuerdos de política bilateral de migración deben ser integrales, vinculantes, sensible al género y participativos.French abstract:
Cet article théorique examine, dans une perspective féministe, les liens entre la santé des migrants et le genre et tente de combler le fossé entre les politiques migratoires et de santé. Les défi s spécifiques des femmes migrantes incluent l’accès à la santé sexuelle et reproductive, la mortalité infantile, les troubles nutritionnels et la violence. Leurs besoins sont souvent omis dans l’élaboration des politiques migratoires. Cet article montre que la conception de la politique migratoire à partir d’une échelle micro vers un niveau macro ne correspond pas aux protocoles internationaux ratifiés sur la santé, ce qui entraîne de multiples vulnérabilités des femmes migrantes. Il conclut que les accords bilatéraux en matière de migration doivent être exhaustifs, contraignants, sensibles au genre et participatifs.

<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong><br />Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are a group of diseases usually caused by bacteria, and connected with different clinical picture, course, and prognosis. The increasing incidence of SSTIs is associated mainly with aging of the population, the increasing number of metabolic diseases, especially diabetes mellitus, as well as cardiovascular diseases. Although SSTIs are often benign and usually does not require medical consultations, some of them may cause a systemic infection. In this situation, knowledge of the principles of diagnostic work-up and therapy is essential. The principles of recognition and treatment of skin and soft tissue infections, including new biocidal drugs, are presented.</p>
<p><strong>STRESZCZENIE</strong><br />Zakażenia skóry i tkanek miękkich (ZSTM) stanowią grupę chorób, najczęściej o etiologii bakteryjnej, charakteryzujących się zróżnicowanym obrazem klinicznym, przebiegiem i rokowaniem. Coraz częstsze występowanie ZSTM wiąże się m.in. ze starzeniem się populacji, narastaniem częstości występowania chorób metabolicznych, zwłaszcza cukrzycy, a także chorób układu sercowo-naczyniowego. Jakkolwiek część ZSTM ma przebieg łagodny i najczęściej nie wymaga wizyty lekarskiej, to niektóre manifestacje mogą przybrać postać zakażenia ogólnoustrojowego. W tej sytuacji znajomość zasad diagnostyki i terapii jest niezbędna.<br />Przedstawiono zasady rozpoznawania i leczenia zakażeń skóry i tkanek miękkich, z uwzględnieniem nowych leków biobójczych.</p>
