Authors: Silva Marcos Donizeti da , Santos José Odálio dos , Santos Fernando de Almeida , Carvajal Júnior Cláudio José 
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This article aims to elucidate whether the particularity of the high level of explanation of the relationship between the return on the market and the return on shares of companies in the oil sector in Brazil occurs similarly in other markets.
Methodology: The oil companies considered were listed as the main ones by Forbes, Fortune and Exame magazines. Their shares and market movement were obtained from their respective host countries stock exchanges, and other information on institutional websites (e.g: OPEC - Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries). As theoretical support, CAPM and APT metrics were applied between from January 2, 2015, to March 31, 2021.
Results: Considering the privileged position of the fuel sector for the movement of the level of economic activity of the countries, the result of this research confirmed that the particularity of the Brazilian scenario is observed in other countries with regard to the high level of explanation of the return of the superior market portfolio at 50%. The research observed that the Explanation Coefficient tends to capture in a more significant way the effects of crises that come from local economic contexts and impacts on the world economy, such as a possible reduction in the level of gross domestic product of countries such as the United States or China. As for the unexpected event, such as Covid-19, the model, in principle, did not present the same result, which could be observed in the quarterly analyses.
Contributions of the Study: Research can help managers and investors, as by demonstrating similarities one can predict future events or assist in decision-making.

Authors: Gonçalves Cinthia Moysés , Bressan Valéria Gama Fully , Souza Gustavo Henrique Dias 
Published: January 2024

Purpose: To identify the determining factors of Open Membership in Brazilian credit unions between 2016 and 2020.
Methodology: A logistic regression model was used to estimate these factors. The analysis considered both specific internal variables of the cooperatives (age, asset size, number of members, and affiliation to systems) and variables representing the macroeconomic environment in which these institutions operate (municipal development index, population size in municipalities with service points (PACs) and cooperative headquarters).
Results: The main results indicate that a lower population size in the municipalities containing the cooperative headquarters and PACs increases the probability of Open Membership. Additionally, cooperatives with a larger number of members and assets also have a higher likelihood of adopting Open Membership.
Contributions of the Study: The study highlights the predominance of cooperatives with Open Membership in smaller and less developed municipalities, reinforcing the role of these cooperatives in social inclusion, reduction of inequalities, and provision of financial services and credit to the population in these locations. Moreover, the results provide valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and cooperatives interested in promoting socio-economic development and equity in underserved communities by the financial system.

Purpose: To analyze from the point of view of the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory, the unprocessed Remains payable stock, in order to identify the periods of equilibrium and variations within the scope of Brazilian Federal Public Universities.
Methodology: The research is classified as to the focus as descriptive. To achieve the proposed objective, the data collection was carried out through documentary research, regarding the approach, the research is quantitative, a sample of 69 IFES was adopted. The variables used in this study were: Unprocessed Remains Payable registered, re-registered and canceled. The temporal aspect of analysis of the variables was the years 2015 to 2022.
Results: This study verified the adherence of PET in the evolution of the Unprocessed Remains Payable stock and identified periods of unusual variations in the universities' RAP. After this analysis, the presence of an equilibrium pattern with interruptions was evident, which confirms the central hypothesis that the Theory of Punctuated Equilibrium is relevant to analyze budget fluctuations in the Brazilian context.
Contributions of the Study: As a theoretical contribution, the research fills a gap by analyzing the behavior of RPNP in times of instability. In a practical context, this study helps public managers in the management of outstanding payments and in the balance of public accounts. Finally, the social contribution resides in improving the mechanisms for managing public accounts, which can be translated into improved public spending.
Analysis of the perception of auditors from a federal public network HEI concerning the institutionalization of internal control practices
Authors: Araújo Davi Jônatas Cunha , Araújo Sheila Alice Gajadhar 
Published: January 2024

Purpose: To analyse the perception of auditors from a federal public network HEI on the institutionalization of internal control practices.
Methodology: The questionnaire was administered to internal auditors from a federal public network HEI, and the content of their answers was analysed using Iramuteq® software. The software resources used were factor analysis, similarity analysis and word clouds. These resources served to capture the intended meanings in the set of answers of the three research participants and how their words are associated with the institutionalization of control practices.
Results: The auditors presented a more critical perception of the institutionalization process in the sedimentation phase of internal control practices, although they reported aspects that confirm actions corresponding to all phases of this process in the focal HEI.
Contributions of the Study: This study confirms that internal auditors from a public HEI in the federal network better perceive the practices of internal control when they are in the sedimentation phase, which influences their evaluation of these university practices.
Portugal and Common Blond Oranges: are they the same Variety? Characteristics and Enhancement of the Oldest European Sweet Orange Variety
Authors: Passafiume Roberta , Farina Vittorio , La Mantia Tommaso 
Published: January 2024

Background:
Today, old citrus fruit varieties with traits suited to a market more attentive to a limited territorial distribution of certain species and the preservation of biodiversity are being promoted. One of these is the Portugal orange. The name 'Portugal' disappeared from the writings on citrus fruit growing in the first half of the last century, systematically replaced by the name 'Common Blond'.

Methods:
One hundred fruits of ‘Portugal’ and ‘Common Blond’ oranges come from two varietal collections found in Sicily. Physico-chemical and sensory analyses were carried out to evaluate the qualitative characteristics of both varieties and to confirm or confute the previous hypothesis.

Results:
These analyses confirm that from the point of view of fruit quality, there are no significant differences between 'Portugal' and 'Common Blond' oranges. The differences found can be attributed to the different growing environments, i.e. cultural practices, microclimate, fertilization, etc.

Conclusion:
Furthermore, the historical information provided also supports the hypothesis that the 'Portugal' orange simply changed its name to 'Common Blond', even though there were numerous bud variations that led to the selection of different clones.

Aims:
This article aims to develop a Bhinneka Tunggal Ika measurement tool.

Background:
Indonesia, as one of the largest archipelagic countries in the world, has diversity ranging from ethnicity, language, and religion to culture. A basic reference is needed in life to maintain the integrity of the Indonesian state from the diversity of the characteristics of its people. Bhinneka Tunggal Ika is one of the basic attitudes of Indonesian society, which has been raised since the 9th century. The development of the Bhinneka Tunggal Ika measurement tool is important to describe the attitude of Indonesian society towards diversity (multicultural).

Objective:
This article aims to examine the psychometric property of the Bhinneka Tunggal Ika scale to fulfill the standardization of accurate measurement.

Methods:
Confirmatory Factor Analysis is a method used to validate each dimension and its reliability.

Results:
Samples in this study consisted of 361 samples, 69.3% of whom were women with an age range of 17 to 63 years, average age 27.87 (SD = 12,594). The Bhinneka Tunggal Ika scale produces three dimensions, namely tolerance, justice and gotong royong. All dimensions have met the criteria of statistical validity.

Conclusion:
Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the Bhinneka Tunggal Ika scale has fulfilled good psychometric properties. It can be proven from evidence validity based on content, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability analysis.

Authors: Haeri Seyed Mohammad Jafar , Vakilian Katayon , Moslemi Azam , Maleki Mahshid , Babazadeh-Zavieh Seyedeh Saeideh , Bayat Mohammad 
Published: January 2024

Aim:
Is there an association between Parental Head Circumference and Birth Type?

Background:
A mismatch between fetal size, especially the fetal head, with the mother's pelvis, also known as cephalo-pelvic disproportion (CPD), can lead to obstructed labor and, ultimately, cesarean section. However, so far, not much focus has been done on the father's anthropometric indices along with maternal anthropometric indices, especially head circumference (HC) and pelvic dimensions in the birth type and prediction of cesarean risk.

Objective:
In this study, anthropometric parameters of parents, such as height, weight, HC, and pelvic circumference and their relationships with the birth type in the first pregnancy, have been studied.

Methods:
This cross-sectional pilot study was conducted on healthy couples over 18 years of age. The mothers were primiparous, which had their first and full pregnancies with natural vaginal delivery or cesarean section (without elective cesarean). A trained expert measured the anthropometric data of parents, and the babies ‘data were collected from the neonatal record. Result: 33 cases completed full-term pregnancy, and of these mothers, 23 (69.7%) experienced natural vaginal deliveries (NVD) and 10 (30.3%) cesarean section (CS). The mean of the parent's HC in the CS group was significantly higher than those in the NVD group.

Conclusion:
The results showed that an increased average size of the parent's HC, especially in the mother with a smaller pelvic size, can logically increase the risk of cesarean section.

Authors: Fletcher-Slater Rachel , Peters Dominique , Garg Malika , Thanik Erin , Garland Elizabeth 
Published: January 2024

Introduction:
Perinatal depression is defined as a depressive episode(s) during the pregnancy and/or postpartum period up to one year. Studies have shown that childbearing people in urban settings experience a higher burden of social factors, such as low socioeconomic status, which may influence the likelihood of developing perinatal depression. Of note, episodes of perinatal depression have been shown to negatively impact child development. Our study has identified population trends in Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) scores >10 during perinatal periods alongside significant social risk factors for people served by LSA Family Health Service providing skilled home-based nursing visits to reduce adverse outcomes.

Methods:
A retrospective chart review of nursing notes from 2009-2017 was conducted for this cross-sectional study. Outcome measures included antepartum (AP) and postpartum (PP) Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) scores, with a score of > 10, suggesting a positive risk for developing depression. Data were grouped and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS software (SPSS version 23). Data have been presented as yearly population percentages scoring >10 on their CES-D screen.

Results:
The maternal outreach program (MOP) enrolled 1,183 birthing individuals from 2009-2017. The mean parental age was 27 years. 70% were Latinx (n=829) and 20.88% (n=247) were Black. Spanish was the primary language for 43.62% (n=516) of participants. Among CES-D screens completed in the antepartum period, 4.5% to 24.6% of the population met criteria over the 9-year study period for risk of developing depression. Positive CES-D screens completed postpartum ranging from 11.9% to 27.2% during the study period. Significant risk factors for positive postpartum CES-D screens were postpartum risk assessment score (p=0.03), increased gestational age (p=0.05), low income (p=0.03), teen/inexperienced parents (p=0.003), and low education levels (p=0.04).

Conclusion:
Trends of positive antepartum and postpartum depression screens in this population have fluctuated over the study period; however, we have identified significant risk factors for positive postpartum screens. Screening for postpartum depression risk factors is important to identify birthing parents who may most benefit from mental health interventions.

Authors: Araya Alemu , Yohannes Tarekegn , Gebretsadikan Abraha , Fitiwy Ibrahim 
Published: January 2024

Background:Sesame (Sesamum indicumL; Pedaliaceae) is an important oilseed crop that contributes significantly to the Ethiopian economy through foreign exchange but it is heavily attacked by the sesame webworm which causes 83% yield loss.Objective:The aim was to evaluate efficacy of aqueous extracts of seven locally available bio-pesticides (Azadirachta indica, Lantana camara, Rumex patientia,Nicotiana glauca,Ricinus communis, Phytolacca dodecandra and Tagetes minuta) along with dimethoate 40% EC (standard test) and untreated control (only tap water) against sesame webworm (Antigastra catalaunalis) insect pest, and its effects on sesame yield and yield losses under outdoor conditions.Methods:Field experiment was conducted at Humera agricultural research center during the 2020 harvest season. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications and applied 3 times at 2-week intervals.Results:ANOVA results showed that all aqueous extracts were significantly (P<0.05) higher than the control. Uninterrupted growth of the test insect resulted in an incidence of 82.59%. However, it was decreased to 28.89% and 29.63% by sprayingA. indicaandR. Communisaqueous extracts.A. indicawas statistically equivalent toR. communisand dimethoate 40% EC in reducing damage to leaves (8.56%), flowers (10.20%), capsules (3.34%) and seeds (29.67%) yet significantly different from controls which scored 21.8%, 20.88%, 11.51%, and 79.34%, leaf, flower, capsule, and seed damage respectively.R. communisalso effectively condensed injuries on leaves (8.68%), flowers (12.64%), capsules (2.66%) and seeds (23.42%). Likewise, aqueous solutions ofA. indicashowed impressive yields (0.71 t ha-1) followed byR. communis(0.53 t ha-1) compared with the control (0.22 t ha-1). Yield increase over control was also higher forA. indica(222.73%) andR. communis(140.91%) compared to other treatments. The maximum (69.01%) estimated yield loss was recorded in control plots due to webworm invasion in sesame.Conclusion:From this result, it can be concluded thatA. indicaandR. communiscan be excellent substitutes for synthetic insecticides to increase sesame yield under outdoor conditions.

Published: January 2024

Background:Cabbage is a subsistence crop for smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. Diamondback moths and cabbage aphids are among the devastating insects that cause yield losses of 90% and 30%.Objective:The aim was to test the efficacy of the bio-rational insecticides against diamondback moth and cabbage aphids, and their effect on cabbage yield and yield loss.Methods:A field experiment was conducted at the Gumsalasa micro dam with furrow irrigation during 2019/20 in Northern Ethiopia. Treatments were arranged in RCB design and replicated thrice. The experiment included five bio-rational insecticides; (R. obtusifolius), (P. dodecandra), (N. glauca), (T. minuta), (A. indica), Karate 5% EC (standard test), and control.Results:Phytolacca dodecandra aqueous leaf extract showed inspiring results, reducing diamondback moth larvae to 0.13 and aphid colonies to 0.16, 48 hours after the 4th spraying, leading to a higher (40.28 t ha-1) fresh cabbage yield followed byA.indica,which had reduced the invasion of diamondback moth and aphid colonies to 0.20 and 0.40 and the yield was recorded as 27.69 t ha-1compared with 2.46 and 5.53 diamondback moth and aphid colonies, and 23.86 t ha-1cabbage yield in the control group. Similarly, aqueous extracts ofP. dodecandrashowed a commendable yield (68.82%) increment over the control, and an estimated yield loss of 40.76% was recorded from the control plots due to the tested insect pests.Conclusion:This study concludes that foliar extracts ofP. dodecandracan be used as an alternative management option to replace synthetic insecticides and thereby maintain food security.
Professional Nurses’ Perceptions of Providing Contraceptives to Adolescents at Primary Healthcare Facilities in Lesotho
Authors: Mohai Nthatuoa Edith , Rabie Tinda , Neethling Verena , du Preez Antoinette 
Published: January 2024

Background:
High adolescent pregnancy rates are evident in most countries, especially low- and middle-income countries like Lesotho, where contraceptive services are available at public facilities at no cost, yet adolescents still have a significant unmet need for contraception. In Lesotho, professional nurses are at the forefront of primary healthcare, including the provision of contraceptive services.

Objectives:
The objective of this study is to explore and describe professional nurses’ perceptions of providing contraceptives to adolescents at Primary Health Care facilities in Lesotho.

Methods:
A qualitative research strategy with exploratory and descriptive approaches was used. Purposive sampling of four primary healthcare facilities and an all-inclusive sampling of professional nurses employed at these primary healthcare facilities in the Mafeteng district of Lesotho were employed. Semi-structured open-ended interviews were done with 12 participants using an interview schedule. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.

Results:
Six categories with their respective themes emerged. The categories included: perceptions of contraception use, perceptions of consulting adolescents at primary healthcare facilities, perceptions of adolescent pregnancy, advice to adolescents using contraception, challenges to effective service provision, and improvement of service provision.

Conclusion:
Professional nurses were aware of the adolescents’ unmet need for contraception and their hesitancy when seeking contraceptive services. However, professional nurses support and encourage contraception use during adolescence because the early onset of sexual activity and adolescent pregnancy cannot be denied. Professional Nurses are faced with challenges in the Primary Health Care facility that have hindered their service provision, which needs to be addressed to improve service provision.
Factors That Influence Patient Satisfaction With the Service Quality of Home-Based Teleconsultation During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-Sectional Survey Study
Authors: Meng Guangxia , McAiney Carrie , McKillop Ian , Perlman Christopher M , Tsao Shu-Feng , Chen Helen 
Published: January 2024

Background
Ontario stroke prevention clinics primarily held in-person visits before the COVID-19 pandemic and then had to shift to a home-based teleconsultation delivery model using telephone or video to provide services during the pandemic. This change may have affected service quality and patient experiences.

Objective
This study seeks to understand patient satisfaction with Ontario stroke prevention clinics’ rapid shift to a home-based teleconsultation delivery model used during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research question explores explanatory factors affecting patient satisfaction.

Methods
Using a cross-sectional service performance model, we surveyed patients who received telephone or video consultations at 2 Ontario stroke prevention clinics in 2021. This survey included closed- and open-ended questions. We used logistic regression and qualitative content analysis to understand factors affecting patient satisfaction with the quality of home-based teleconsultation services.

Results
The overall response rate to the web survey was 37.2% (128/344). The quantitative analysis was based on 110 responses, whereas the qualitative analysis included 97 responses. Logistic regression results revealed that responsiveness (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.034, 95% CI 0.006-0.188; P<.001) and empathy (AOR 0.116, 95% CI 0.017-0.800; P=.03) were significant factors negatively associated with low satisfaction (scores of 1, 2, or 3 out of 5). The only characteristic positively associated with low satisfaction was when survey consent was provided by the substitute decision maker (AOR 6.592, 95% CI 1.452-29.927; P=.02). In the qualitative content analysis, patients with both low and high global satisfaction scores shared the same factors of service dissatisfaction (assurance, reliability, and empathy). The main subcategories associated with dissatisfaction were missing clinical activities, inadequate communication, administrative process issues, and absence of personal connection. Conversely, the high-satisfaction group offered more positive feedback on assurance, reliability, and empathy, as well as on having a competent clinician, appropriate patient selection, and excellent communication and empathy skills.

Conclusions
The insights gained from this study can be considered when designing home-based teleconsultation services to enhance patient experiences in stroke prevention care.
