Objective: This study aimed to determine the Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) values in the Peruvian population of Metropolitan Lima, identify flowmetry values by age groups from 20 to 60 years, and assess the impact of COVID-19 on individuals who did not contract the disease.

Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 316 participants (50.3% males, 49.7% females) aged 20–60 years. All were hemodynamically stable without limiting cardiac or pulmonary pathologies. PEF was measured using the Mini-Wright Peak Flow Meter following standardized procedures. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Chi-square tests, considering p < 0.05 as statistically significant.

Results and Discussion: The mean PEF was 542.09 ± 87.44 L/min. Males had significantly higher PEF values than females (575.66 ± 74.87 L/min vs. 508.09 ± 86.32 L/min, p = 0.004). PEF values decreased with advancing age in both sexes. Participants engaging in regular physical activity showed higher PEF values, though not statistically significant. Individuals without a history of COVID-19 had higher PEF values compared to those who recovered from the virus, suggesting potential long-term effects on lung function.

Research Implications: Establishing PEF reference values specific to the Peruvian population enhances healthcare professionals' ability to identify individuals at risk of respiratory impairment. The findings support the use of PEF measurement as a practical tool in primary care for early detection and monitoring of respiratory diseases.

Originality/Value: This study provides valuable data on PEF values in a Peruvian cohort, addressing a gap in the literature regarding population-specific reference values. By highlighting the influence of age, sex, physical activity, and COVID-19 on PEF, it contributes to improved respiratory health assessment and management in Peru.

This means that these four variables are a complete concept and cannot be separated in the development of sustainable halal tourism.

Research Implications: Theoretically, this study revises the idea that sustainability is limited to only three aspects as the concept of triple bottom line in the tourism industry. Empirically, the results of the research encourage the development of sustainable halal tourism through an integrated approach that considers religious morality, social, economic, and environmental aspects in a balanced manner.

Originality/Value: This research is expected to make a significant contribution to developing halal tourism that is not only economically beneficial but also environmentally friendly and socially just in line with moral values and religious teachings, which is also encouraging the sustainable cities and communities as one of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
War Amongst ESG Ratings in China: A Battle of Stock Return Predictability
Authors: Liu Xu , Xiao Xinrong , Shen Siyan , Xu Zhiyu 
Published: November 2024

Existing literature on the stock return predictability of ESG ratings in the Chinese A-share market presents conflicting conclusions, primarily due to divergent sources of ESG ratings and variations in sample selection. We are the first to conduct comparative analyses on ESG ratings from all mainstream agencies using the largest available sample and the longest time window. After considering the real impact of transaction costs, ESG ratings provided by three vendors demonstrate a significant positive correlation with stock future returns. Heterogeneity analyses based on firm market capitalization indicate that Sino ESG ratings stand out among various ratings, demonstrating robust and significant positive predictive power under various conditions. Furthermore, we reexamine asset return anomalies from the perspective of the first moment of ESG ratings. Mean-Variance spanning tests also suggest positive factor premiums. The conclusions offer valuable reference for subsequent research on the role of ESG ratings in the Chinese capital market, providing practical guidance for asset managers implementing ESG investment principles to optimize portfolio construction.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
Tourette syndrome (TS) is recognized as a neurodevelopmental disorder profoundly influenced by familial factors, particularly family functioning. However, the relationship among family functioning, tic severity, and quality of life in individuals with TS during childhood and adolescence remains unclear. We hypothesized that family functioning plays a role in the association between the severity of TS and quality of life in children.
AIM
To determine the role of family functioning in the relationship between TS severity and quality of life.
METHODS
This study enrolled 139 children (male/female = 113/26) with TS. We assessed tic severity using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale, quality of life via the Tourette Syndrome Quality of Life Scale, and family functioning through the Family Assessment Device. Our analysis focused on correlating these measures and exploring the mediating role of family functioning in the relationship between tic severity and quality of life. Additionally, we examined if this mediating effect varied by gender or the presence of comorbidity.
RESULTS
We found that family communication dysfunction had a significant mediating effect between tic severity and both psychological symptoms (indirect effect: Β = 0.0038, 95% confidence interval: 0.0006-0.0082) as well as physical and activities of daily living impairment (indirect effect: Β = 0.0029, 95% confidence interval: 0.0004-0.0065). For vocal tic severity, this mediation was found to be even more pronounced. Additionally, in male participants and those without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, the mediating effect of family communication dysfunction was still evident.
CONCLUSION
Our study highlights the impact of family functioning on the tic severity and the quality of life in children. This relationship is influenced by gender and comorbid conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
