Abstract
Digital technology holds significant potential for enhancing business efficiency in agricultural marketing. However, empirical research on the use of digital technology among smallholder farmers engaged in staple crop marketing in Sub-Saharan Africa remains limited. Recognizing the pivotal role of digital technology in agriculture, this study aims to analyse and synthesize existing knowledge regarding the impact of mobile phones on market participation among smallholder farmers. Through a comprehensive analysis, we seek to provide a robust understanding that can inform policies and programs aimed at enhancing smallholder market integration. To achieve this objective, we collected cross-sectional data from 360 farmers in southeast Nigeria and implemented a double hurdle model to analyse market participation decisions and the extent of farmers’ involvement in staple crop markets. In addition to traditional econometric methods, we employed propensity score matching to further investigate the impact of mobile phone ownership on market participation. Our analysis revealed that ICT tools, particularly mobile phones and radios, significantly influence both the decision and intensity of market participation among smallholder farmers. Specifically, mobile phones were found to play a crucial role in facilitating access to market pricing information and disseminating knowledge on improved production methods. Given the volatility of farm prices, the timely dissemination of market information through mobile phones is essential for farmers to make informed decisions. With a high percentage of mobile phone ownership and substantial investments in mobile networks in Nigeria, the digitalization of extension services and marketing information delivery systems could catalyse rapid improvements in agribusiness and marketing. This shift towards digital platforms has the potential to address information asymmetry, particularly among smallholder farmers, thereby fostering greater market integration and economic empowerment within rural communities.
O bem-estar docente e a afetividade entre professor/aluno: percepção das estagiárias nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental
Authors: Ferronatto Eliane Terezinha Tulio 
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho trata sobre a importância da afetividade entre professores e alunos para o bem-estar docente. Tem como objetivo compreender a percepção de cinco estagiárias do Curso de Pedagogia sobre o relacionamento entre professores e alunos observados no Estágio Supervisionado obrigatório nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. A metodologia se deu por meio de análise dos relatórios finais, para compreender quais foram as percepções destas estagiárias nas observações realizadas nas escolas municipais do município de Maracaju/MS. Verificamos que os docentes, para compreender seu estado emocional, precisam aprender a avaliar e trabalhar com suas próprias emoções e as emoções de seus educandos e colegas. A afetividade entre professores e alunos é imprescindível para que tanto professores como os alunos desenvolvam fatores de bem-estar. Nesse sentido, o docente que nega a afetividade, encarando-a como antiprofissional, só aumenta as tensões e conflitos em sala de aula, transformando-a em um espaço hostil e pouco acolhedor.
Empowering Auditors to Pursue Fraud during Evidence Evaluation
Authors: Austin Ashley A. , Carpenter Tina D. , Christ Margaret H. , Nielson Christy S. 
Published: August 2024

SYNOPSIS
Auditors struggle to respond skeptically to fraud, diminishing audit quality. This problem is particularly prevalent during the evidence evaluation phase of the audit, when auditors perceive intense time constraints. Theory suggests that employees who feel empowered overcome constraints and produce higher quality work. We predict and find support for our empowerment theory-driven judgment model. Specifically, as auditors in the evidence evaluation phase feel more empowered, they assess fraud risk higher when fraud is present, leading them to indicate a greater need for more work and, ultimately, recommend more effective audit procedures. In further support for our theory, we find that as auditors feel more empowered, they perceive audit constraints as less restrictive. Regulators advocate for increased auditor vigilance against fraud, and this study contributes to research and practice by identifying an audit management strategy—empowerment—that successfully improves auditors’ fraud pursuit during evidence evaluation.
Discrepancy Between Genetically Predicted and Observed BMI Predicts Incident Type 2 Diabetes

OBJECTIVE
Obesity is a key predictor of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, metabolic complications are not solely due to increased BMI. We hypothesized that differences between genetically predicted BMI and observed BMI (BMI-diff) could reflect deviation from individual set point and may predict incident T2D.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
From the UK Biobank cohort, we selected participants of European ancestry without T2D (n = 332,154). The polygenic risk score for BMI was calculated via Bayesian regression and continuous shrinkage priors (PRS-CS). According to the BMI-diff, the 10-year risk of T2D was assessed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. Independent data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) cohort from South Korea (n = 7,430) were used for replication.

RESULTS
Participants from the UK Biobank were divided into train (n = 268,041) and test set (n = 115,119) to establish genetically predicted BMI. In the test set, the genetically predicted BMI explained 7.1% of the variance of BMI, and there were 3,599 T2D cases (3.1%) during a 10-year follow-up. Participants in the higher quintiles of BMI-diff (more obese than genetically predicted) had significantly higher risk of T2D than those in the lowest quintile after adjusting for observed BMI: the adjusted hazard ratio of the 1st quintile (vs. 5th quintile) was 1.61 (95% CI 1.26–2.05, P &lt; 0.001). Results were consistent among individuals in the KoGES study. Moreover, higher BMI than predicted was associated with impaired insulin sensitivity.

CONCLUSIONS
Having a higher BMI than genetically predicted is associated with an increased risk of T2D. These findings underscore the potential to reassess T2D risk based on individual levels of obesity using genetic thresholds for BMI.

Authors: Казаковцева О.С. 
Published: August 2024

Статья посвящена анализу функционирования эпитетов как изобразительно-выразительных средств в любовной лирике А. П. Сумарокова. Выбор атрибутивной лексики зависит от эмоционального состояния лирического героя. Для описания его чувств и окружающего мира используются оценочные эпитеты, нередко автор прибегает к употреблению форм превосходной степени имен прилагательных, а также постоянных эпитетов, что добавляет тексту экспрессивность и усиливает впечатление от прочтения лирических произведений.
The article focuses on the epithet functioning in the love lyrics of A. P. Sumarokov. The choice of attributive lexis depends on the emotional condition of the lyrical character. Evaluative epithets are used to describe the feelings of the lyrical character and the surrounding world. The author often uses superlative forms of adjectives and constant epithets, which adds expressiveness to the text and enhances the impression of reading lyrical works.
Metaphors with the source sphere "Music" in K. Vonnegut's dystopian novel "Player Piano"
Authors: Камышева О.С. 
Published: August 2024

Цель данной статьи – исследовать метафоры со сферой-источником «Музыка» в романе К. Воннегута «Механическое пианино». В результате исследования были выделены два фрейма: «Устройства и механизмы» и «Человек». В рамках фрейма «Устройства и механизмы» доминируют метафоры бытовых устройств, тогда как во фрейме «Человек» преобладают метафоры человеческих голосов. При этом наиболее продуктивны метафоры тембров музыкальных инструментов. По структуре большинство данных метафор являются простыми. Исследуемые метафоры могут осложняться музыкальной терминологией, прецедентными феноменами, повторами, звукоподражанием и графическими средствами
The purpose of this article is to explore metaphors with the source sphere "Music" in K. Vonnegut's novel "Player Piano". As a result of the study, two frames were identified: "Devices and mechanisms" and "Human". Within the framework of the "Devices and mechanisms" frame, the metaphors of household devices dominate, whereas in the "Human" frame, the metaphors of human voices prevail. At the same time, metaphors of musical instrument timbres are the most productive. By structure, most of these metaphors are simple. The studied metaphors can be complicated by musical terminology, precedent phenomena, repetitions, onomatopoeia and graphic means.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe the diagnosis, management, and outcome of a dog with a right distal radial osteochondroma that penetrated the ulna, causing expansile lysis and fracture.

ANIMAL
A 9-month-old entire female German Shorthaired Pointer.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION, PROGRESSION, AND PROCEDURES
The dog had a 2-month history of weight-bearing lameness of the right forelimb and a 2-week history of a progressively enlarging, firm swelling on the distolateral antebrachium. Computed tomography was used to characterize the lesion and for surgical planning.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME
A distal ulnar ostectomy removed the affected ulnar segment, and the radial osteochondroma was excised with rongeurs. The dog was sound at 2, 16, and 45 weeks postoperatively. Radiographs at 45 weeks showed a persistent ulnar ostectomy gap with irregular but smoothly marginated edges and focal cortical irregularity at the site of radial osteochondroma excision. There was no evidence of osteochondroma recurrence.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
This is a newly recognized presentation of an osteochondroma penetrating the cortex of an adjacent bone in a dog resulting in expansile lysis and cortical fracture. Computed tomography was important in diagnosis and surgical planning, and surgical treatment was successful in removing the osteochondroma and ulnar lesion. This case provides long-term radiographic and clinical follow-up after osteochondroma excision and contributes to the current knowledge on prognosis following osteochondroma excision in dogs.

Authors: Kuhn Eugenia Aumond , Sattler Miguel Aloysio , Magnus Lucas Dorneles 
Published: August 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate Urban Metabolism (UM) and Material Flow Analysis (MFA) approaches to characterize waste flows in small Brazilian municipalities. Additionally, it aims to develop a method that contributes to the environmental management of municipal waste.

Theoretical Framework: This study utilizes the models and concepts from UM and MFA approaches.

Method: The EUROSTAT guide, proposed by the Statistical Office of the European Union for national-scale MFA, was adopted as the methodological reference and adapted to the Brazilian municipal context. The method's development involved progressive refinement cycles, including secondary data collection, improvement, and evaluation. The method was tested in a case study in the municipality of Feliz, RS.

Results and Discussion: The results indicate that the developed method provides a comprehensive understanding of the municipality's waste flows, including their magnitude, origins, and destinations. The UM and MFA approaches offer an integrated perspective of waste flows with other material flows in the municipality, facilitating the visualization of circular economy possibilities.

Research Implications: The research offers insights into the application of the results for environmental waste management in small Brazilian municipalities, providing more informative diagnostics than those required by the National Solid Waste Policy.

Originality: This study contributes to the literature by proposing specific methodologies for analyzing waste flows in the municipal context. Additionally, it introduces innovations compared to previous applications of MFA in Brazil.

Effect of The Board of Directors Size, Independence, and Frequency of Board Meetings on Audit Fees: Evidence From GCC Market
Authors: Bahrawe Seraj 
Published: August 2024

Purpose: This study aims to examine the potential impact of board size, board independence, and meeting frequency on audit fees for companies listed on the financial markets of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Design/Methodology/Approach: The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) are the two financial markets in the UAE. The data utilised in the investigation were obtained from the ADX and the DFM. The data was gathered over six years, from 2011 to 2016. The final sample comprises 312 observations. The study employs descriptive and correlation tests, in addition to multiple regressions, as statistical methods.

Findings: The analysis revealed a strong correlation between audit fees and both the independence and frequency of board meetings. The findings demonstrated a positive correlation between stringent corporate governance procedures and the requirement for superior audit quality, resulting in higher audit costs. The results also indicated a significant correlation between business size, profitability, leverage, and audit fees.

Originality/Value: Due to the recent implementation of the corporate governance code in the UAE and its financial markets, including the ADX and DFM, the efficacy of the code remains uncertain and, therefore, subject to scrutiny. Inadequate governance and audit standards may adversely impact the integrity of financial reporting. Nevertheless, there is limited empirical research investigating the elements influencing the quality of financial reporting in the UAE. This study contributes to the existing literature by enhancing comprehension of the impact of the board of directors on audit quality, utilising data from a GCC country.
Induction of Bone Malformations in Neotropical Fish (Megaleporinus Macrocephalus) Exposed to Pyriproxyfen During Initial Stage of Development
Authors: Nardelli Aline , Prestes Anahiê Bortoncello , Birindelli José Luís Olivan , Margarido Vladimir Pavan , Moresco Rafaela Maria 
Published: August 2024

Objective: Megaleporinus macrocephalus, a native species from the Neotropical region, was used as a model to evaluate the effects of pyriproxyfen on larval development at a dose that could be found in the environment.

Theoretical Framework: Pyriproxyfen is a compound used to control of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, vector of Neotropical diseases. In insects, pyriproxyfen acts as a juvenile hormone analogue, inhibiting embryogenesis and the development of characteristics of adults through the inhibition of ecdysone. Pyriproxyfen has demonstrated effects on the survival rate, behavior, and morphology during development of non-target organisms.

Method: In this study Megaleporinus macrocephalus was exposed to a dose of 2.5μg/L of pyriproxyfen on the 8th day after hatching and the presence of bone malformations was evaluated. For the evaluation was applied technique of diaphanization and radiological imaging.

Results and Discussion: Out of the total of the individuals, 43% had some type of bone malformation: 24% had scoliosis and kyphosis of the vertebral column, 9% had reduction of pectoral fins, 5% had malformation in the anal fin and 5% absented at least one of the pelvic fins. These data reinforce the action of pyriproxyfen as a teratogen, acting on larval development in reduced doses, which can be found in the environment. Our study warns that these molecules might interact in the mechanism of gene expression mediated by retinoic acid, important morphogen during embryogenesis and organogenesis.

Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of teratology. These implications could encompass control of the vectors, conservation biology and the prevention of embryonic and fetal anomalies.

Originality/Value: This study not only does it reinforce the urgency to study how these molecules interact but also suggests caution when using the compound as a controller for vectors until the true security is acknowledged.

Published: August 2024

Objective: Intergenerational conflict can be defined as disagreements in values, beliefs, perspectives and behaviors of different generations. Considering today’s business environment where different generations work together, its importance emerges once again.

Methods: Although intergenerational conflict has been discussed from many perspectives in the literature, studies on this type of conflict, especially in the business environment, are limited and even a scale that directly measures this conflict has not been found. Therefore, a scale was developed through a systematic scale development process based on the literature related to this study.

Results: The data was collected from 1005 private sector professionals. Consequently, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis were performed and the factor structure of the scale was determined.

Conclusions: As a result, the two-dimensional perceived level of workplace generational conflict scale developed and the scaleitems presented in the appendix was obtained.

Originality/Value: Intergenerational conflict involves differing values, beliefs, perspectives, and behaviors among generations. In today's multi-generational workplace, its significance is clear. Consequently, a two-dimensional scale to measure workplace generational conflict has been developed, with scale items listed in the appendix.
