Debt maturity in Spanish small business startups
Authors: Blasco Leante José Enrique , Baños-Caballero Sonia , García-Teruel Pedro J. 
Published: July 2024

This article studies debt maturity in startup firms. Specifically, it analyzes whether the maturity of the debt of these firms is different from that of older firms. It also studies whether these possible differences are maintained during periods of financial crisis. To this end, we use a sample of small Spanish firms during the period 2011-2020. The results indicate that new or recently created firms have debt with shorter maturities. This could be explained by the greater agency problems and information asymmetries that these firms face. Moreover, we observe that this result is maintained during periods of financial crisis.
Este artículo estudia el vencimiento de la deuda de empresas de nueva o reciente creación. En concreto, se analiza si el vencimiento de la deuda de estas empresas es diferente al de las empresas de mayor edad. Además, también se estudia si estas posibles diferencias se mantienen durante periodos de crisis financiera. Utilizando una muestra de pequeñas empresas españolas durante el período 2011-2020, los resultados indican que las empresas nuevas o de reciente creación tienen deuda con un menor vencimiento, lo que podría ser explicado por los mayores problemas de agencia e información asimétrica que tienen estas empresas. Además, se observa que este resultado se mantiene en periodos de crisis financiera.

Authors: Barrainkua Aroztegi Itsaso , Aldazabal Etxeberria M. Edurne , Espinosa-Pike Marcela 
Published: July 2024

This study analyses the influence of role overload on organizational commitment and job satisfaction in audit firms, as well as the mediating role of perceived organizational support on these job outcomes. This study is based on 122 survey responses from Spanish auditors. The results show that role overload has a negative relationship with organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Moreover, our findings demonstrate that perceived organizational support mediates both the relationship between role overload and organizational commitment, and the relationship between role overload and job satisfaction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to analyse the role played by organizational support in the relationship between role overload and auditors’ critical work outcomes. Time constraints and heavy workloads are often perceived as inherent features of an auditor’s job. This particular organizational context makes it necessary to identify variables within a firm’s purview, such as organizational support, which may contribute to mitigating the negative effect of role overload on auditors’ job attitudes.
Este estudio analiza la influencia de la sobrecarga de trabajo en el compromiso organizativo y la satisfacción laboral en las firmas de auditoría, así como el papel mediador del apoyo percibido por la organización en las actitudes laborales de los auditores. Este estudio se basa en una encuesta realizada a 122 auditores españoles. Los resultados muestran que la sobrecarga de trabajo tiene una relación negativa con el compromiso organizativo y la satisfacción laboral. Asimismo, nuestros resultados demuestran que el apoyo percibido por la organización media el efecto negativo de la sobrecarga de trabajo tanto en el compromiso organizativo como en la satisfacción laboral. Este es el primer estudio que analiza el papel del apoyo percibido por la organización en la relación entre la sobrecarga de trabajo y las actitudes laborales de los auditores. Las limitaciones de tiempo y el exceso de trabajo a menudo se perciben como características inherentes del trabajo de un auditor. El particular contexto organizativo de la auditoría resalta la importancia de identificar variables, tales como el apoyo percibido por la organización, que se encuentren dentro del marco de actuación de las firmas de auditoría y que pueden contribuir a mitigar el efecto negativo de la sobrecarga de trabajo en las actitudes laborales de los auditores.
INFLUENCE OF HEAT TREATMENT ON THE CORROSION PROPERTIES OF WE43 MAGNESIUM ALLOY DOPED WITH RARE EARTH ELEMENTS
Authors: Paspelau Andrei V. , Kasach Aliaksandr A. , Kurilo Irina I. , Tsyganov Aleksandr R. 
Published: July 2024

This paper investigates the impact of heat treatment (T5) on the structure of magnesium alloy WE43. The study employs physicochemical research methods, including scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray phase analysis. The results indicate that the surface of WE43 alloy exhibits a reticulated microstructure consisting of α-Mg and β-Mg phases that contain rare-earth elements (Y - up to 3.7 wt.%; Nd - up to 1.1 wt.%). The microstructure of heat-treated alloy WE43-T5 comprises of α-Mg phase and evenly distributed phases of globular and plate-like forms. The studied samples exhibit contrasting regions related to metallic phases of alloying elements (Mg41Nd5, Mg12Nd, Mg5Gd, MgY, Mg24Y5). The corrosion behavior of WE43 and WE43-T5 alloys was studied in model solutions that simulate the bone tissue environment using a set of electrochemical methods. The solutions used were Hank's solution with a pH of 7.4 and acidified Hank's solution with a pH of 5.0, which corresponds to the injured state of bone tissue. The study focused on the effects of heat treatment on the corrosion of magnesium alloys. The study found that the heat treatment process of magnesium alloy WE43 reduced the corrosion rate by 4.4 times and 2.7 times in Hank's solutions with pH 7.4 and pH 5.0, respectively. The exponential values n1 and n2 are shown to be in the range 0.81 to 0.97. Values close to 1 indicate that the constant phase element models the impedance of the distributed capacitive element. Heat treatment results in a 2.5-fold increase in the polarization resistance of the WE43 alloy in Hank's solution (pH=7.4). However, in Hank's solution (pH=5.0), the polarization resistance of the heat-treated alloy decreases by 68%. The Rp values of WE43 and WE43-T5 samples in Hank's solution (pH=5.0) are similar.

Selection criteria for genetic improvement of sugar snaps (Pisum sativum var. saccharatum) based on components of genetic variability
Authors: Chauhan Ajay , Sharma Akhilesh , Kumari Vedna 
Published: July 2024

The present investigation was conducted on newly generated material of sugar snaps comprising of 29 advanced breeding lines (F7) developed from 4 interspecific crosses at HP Agricultural University, Palampur along with 7 lines collected from different institutes in randomized complete block design over three replications during winter 2016-17. The phenotypic (PCV) and genotypic (GCV) coefficients of variation were high for straw yield/plant while branches/ plant, internodal length, pods/plant, dry pod weight and seed yield/plant showed high PCV with moderate GCV. High heritability and genetic advance was recorded for internodal length, plant height, straw yield/plant, dry pod weight and seed yield/plant, indicating additive gene effect for their inheritance. Seed yield/plant was positively associated with pod length, seeds/pod, protein content of seed, straw yield/ and 100-seed weight both at phenotypic and genotypic levels. Harvest index and straw yield contributed maximum via their direct and indirect contributions towards totalassociation of these traits with seed yield while, nodes/ plant, internodal length, 100-seed weight and seeds/pod also contributed to some extent. Therefore, these traits would be of great significance for achieving enhanced performance of genotypes for seed yield.

Published: July 2024

Reading comprehension is a skill that can aid pupils in grasping the meaning of a text or gaining new insights from it. This study investigated the influence of multiple variables on reading comprehension and identified the key factors that contribute to reading comprehension. It utilized the descriptive-correlational method to describe the relationship between multiple independent variables and reading comprehension. It was conducted in one of the elementary schools in Himamaylan City during the school year 2022-2023, utilizing 50 Grade 6 students who were selected using total enumeration. The researcher utilized the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory to determine students’ reading comprehension and standardized instruments in measuring various variables in reading. It was revealed that out of the ten variables considered, it was reading fluency (t=-2.197, p=0.034), nonsense word fluency (t=-2.018, p=0.050), phonological awareness (t=2.923, p=0.006) and phonemic awareness (t=-2.809, p=0.08) were found significantly related to the reading comprehension of the students. These four variables are the key factors that impact reading comprehension and help them better build an understanding of the text. Using multiple regression analysis, it was found that reading fluency, nonsense word fluency, phonological awareness, and phonemic awareness are the influential variables in the students’ reading comprehension indicating the essence of primary language development. Moreover, phonological awareness is significant in developing the student's reading comprehension. It is recommended that the development of reading comprehension in the primary grades be given a focus through proper intervention.
