Published: September 2023

Objective –The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of political connections on banking performance with women commissioners as a moderating variable.Design/Methodology –The population of this study derive from banking sector listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2021 with the final sample of as many as 42 banks with a total of 252 observations. Hypothesis testing was performed using multivariate regression analysis.Results –This study finds that commissioners who have political connections tend to report higher banking performance, as measured by ROA. Meanwhile, women commissioners tend to report lower banking performance (ROA). Furthermore, there is a positive influence from political connections to banking performance when there are women commissioners. In addition, this study employs alternative measures of banking performance, namely ROE and including bank risk. This study also replaces the measurement of political connections from dummy variables to a number of political commissioner members compared to total commissioners. In particular, these results are robust after replacing the measurement of political connections, the commissioners who have political connection will report higher banking performance than commissioners who have no political connections. However, political connection and women commissioners have no significant effect on banking performance, when using ROE as banking performance. Meanwhile, political connection has a negative impact on bank risk. It suggests that political connections can reduce bank risk by decreasing overdue credit (Non-Performance Loan).Research limitations/implications –This study focuses primarily on the linear relationship with required gender diversity between political ties and banking performance. This study adds to the growing body of research on how political connection and gender affect banking performance.Novelty/Originality –Gender diversity or women commissioners are still rare as the impact of commissioners' political connection on banking performance in Indonesia.

A presente pesquisa busca analisar as diretrizes curriculares voltadas para a primeira fase do Ensino Fundamental, procurando identificar qual a visão de educação que orienta tal formulação e, ainda, quais as mudanças que ocorreram, a partir de uma análise comparativa entre os PCNs e a BNCC. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica. A busca foi realizada em agosto de 2022, incluem-se teses e dissertações disponíveis no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Capes, artigos científicos disponíveis no Portal de Periódicos Capes e Google Acadêmico, tangendo o recorte temporal de 2015 a 2022. A análise foi guiada em 6 tópicos para melhor compreensão: 1) a influência dos organismos internacionais na educação brasileira, 2) políticas educacionais e suas repercussões na organização do currículo da educação básica, 3) orientações curriculares nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental (um paralelo entre os PCN´s e a BNCC), 4) a formação de habilidades e competências e as avaliações em larga escala, 5) A formação de habilidades e competências e as avaliações em larga escala, 6) Semelhanças e as diferenças entre os PCNs e a BNCC. Em suma, a análise nos traz a prerrogativa de que tanto os esforços públicos nacionais quanto as políticas mundiais não são para melhorar o nível e o desenvolvimento educacional da população, mas sim para suprir os anseios capitalistas. Desta forma, mais uma vez fica evidente o ideário que “há escola de rico e escola de pobres”!

L’obiettivo di questo breve contributo è tornare sul tema delle implicazioni etiche insite nel rapporto che diversi Epicurei mostrano di intrattenere con la dimensione testuale. La critica ha più volte – e spesso molto efficacemente – messo in luce questo nesso.[1] Ma è forse possibile aggiungere ancora qualche spunto di riflessione al dibattito, mettendo in dialogo testi finora considerati separatamente. Mi riferisco al De rerum natura lucreziano e al PHerc. 1012, che contiene i lacerti di un’opera di Demetrio Lacone su alcuni luoghi aporetici di Epicuro. Come spero di riuscire a mostrare, da alcuni luoghi emerge una concezione, per certi versi, simile del testo scritto (e non solo di quello di Epicuro): se chiaro e irreprensibile, esso appare indispensabile per il raggiungimento della felicità, perché disvela una dottrina capace di realizzare, in chi la abbraccia, la “atarassia”; ma se il rapporto tra il testo epicureo e il suo destinatario (cioè l’epicureo in fieri) è perturbato da qualche fattore che ne compromette la capacità “salvifica”, i membri della scuola – Demetrio, Lucrezio – hanno il dovere di rimuovere tali elementi di disturbo. Come si vedrà, gli strumenti e le strategie utili allo scopo sono spesso differenti, ma pare, comunque, importante rimarcare come la relazione con il testo sia sempre orientata e subordinata al perseguimento del telos etico della scuola.

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in the Chemoprevention of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer
Authors: Al Lawati Hanan 
Published: September 2023

Skin cancer, which includes melanoma and non-melanoma cancer types (basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas), is the most common type of neoplasia worldwide with massive calls for exploring chemoprevention strategies. Research suggests that chronic inflammation is a critical component of cancer progression in which over expression of COX-2 has been reported in many cancer studies. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which inhibit COX enzymes have been investigated for skin cancer chemoprevention both in vitro and in vivo. We have searched the association between NSAIDs and non-melanoma skin cancer in Pub-Med and Embase database in particular for animal, cell lines, and human studies. In animal and skin cancer cell line research studies, NSAIDs have been shown to have a chemoprotective role in non-melanoma skin cancer through various reported mechanisms. However, clinical data results with regards to non-melanoma cancer has been controversial due to the absence of large scale randomised clinical trials. To sustain the idea for NSAIDs role as chemo-preventative agents, further robust investigations with large trial number are required in order to consolidate epidemiological findings with the in vitro data results.
Influence of Disadvantaged Socioeconomic and Demographic Status on Overall Survival in Patients with Kaposi Sarcoma
Authors: Swedek Michelle , Zand Kamron , Silberstein Peter , Vardell Victoria 
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a cutaneous and mucous membrane tumor caused by human/Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), typically seen in immunocompromised patients, including those with HIV/AIDS. Patients from traditionally underserved and underrepresented (URM) populations have disparate survival outcomes across malignancies, however the effects of socioeconomic and demographic factors on survival have not been described on a large scale in KS.
METHODS: KS patients diagnosed from 2004-2017 were identified in the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Overall survival (OS) was analyzed using Kaplan Meier and adjusted Cox regression methods, and repeated in a propensity score matched cohort, where White patients were matched to Black patients 1:1 for demographic factors and comorbidities.
RESULTS: For the 4,034 identified patients, advanced age, Black race, HIV-positive status, and Charlson-Deyo score ≥1 were independently associated with decreased OS. Survival benefit was seen with Spanish/Hispanic ethnicity, private insurance, residence in areas of high educational attainment, and treatment at academic centers. Black patients had median survival of 99 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 73-124 months) compared to White patients (140 months, 95% CI 122-158 months) (p<0.001). Following propensity score matching, Black patients continued to have poorer OS compared to White patients (119 months versus 136 months, p=0.045).
CONCLUSION: We describe the impact of socioeconomic factors and race on survival in KS, finding significantly reduced survival in Black patients, which persisted after controlling for covariates. These results highlight the need for directed efforts promoting equitable outcomes for underrepresented minorities.

Objective
Self-regulation refers to individuals’ capacity to govern and oversee their thoughts and actions, enabling them to adjust and react suitably to various things. This skill is important to be a lifelong learner. Dentistry is one profession where self-regulation can differentiate one from being called a “five-star doctor.” This study aims to evaluate the perceptions of self-regulation of students in a Philippine dental university.

Material and Methods
The research employed a descriptive cross-sectional research design using survey questionnaires. The Self-Regulation Formative Questionnaire (SRFQ) by Gaumer Erikson & Noonan (2018) consists of 22 items with four components: plan (5 items), monitor (6 items), control (6 items), and reflect (5 items). Participants’ responses were evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale. Twenty dental students from the same university were selected to answer the questionnaire as a pilot test. Subsequently, the questionnaire’s reliability was assessed, yielding a Cronbach's coefficient alpha value of 0.918.

Results
A total of 338 dental students (18% response rate) across the different year levels answered. Plan (75%) had the lowest percentage among the four components, and Reflect (82%) had the highest percentage. Overall, the students had good self-regulation (78.5%).

Conclusions
Dental students at the university have good self-regulation perceptions. Future studies can look into increasing the sample size and having respondents from other dental universities. Semi-structured interviews can also be done to understand the students’ responses better. Likewise, promoting self-regulation among students should be emphasized.
Emotional intelligence in neurosurgery: Mitigating burnout and enhancing performance
Authors: Alan Albert , Ennabe Michelle , Joshi Neil , Weinand Martin 
Published: September 2023

Background:
This study underscores the high burnout rates among physicians, particularly surgical residents, attributing it to the demanding health-care ecosystem. It highlights the negative impacts of burnout, such as medical errors and increased health-care costs, while exploring the potential mitigating role of emotional intelligence (EI) and mindfulness. The research aimed to analyze the existing literature on EI in neurosurgery, focusing on its relationship with physician burnout and its potential role in healthcare leadership and residency training programs.

Methods:
A comprehensive literature review was conducted using multiple databases, including PubMed, OVID Embase, and OVID Medline, using the keywords “Emotional Intelligence” and “neurosurgery.” The search duration spanned from each database’s inception to June 2023.

Results:
The review highlighted various studies emphasizing the importance of integrating EI and mindfulness training into medical education and leadership, suggesting that a balance between technical competencies and interpersonal skills are critical. It identified personal integrity, effective communication, professional ethics, pursuit of excellence, relationship building, and critical thinking as key competencies for health-care leadership.

Conclusion:
EI and a growth mindset play a critical role in managing burnout, enhancing job satisfaction and performance, and promoting effective healthcare leadership. The review, however, acknowledges certain limitations such as small sample sizes, single-institution experiences, potential biases, and inconsistencies in burnout parameters and EI measurement tools. Despite these, it points toward potential areas for future investigation and highlights the importance of standardized EI measurement tools and robust quantitative assessment methods.

Authors: Веретёхин А.В. 
Published: September 2023

Изучение и реализация цифровых трансформаций является популярным трендом, как в академических исследованиях, так и в деятельности коммерческих организаций. Настоящая работа нацелена на определение концептуальной модели управления цифровыми трансформациями компании на основе накопленного теоретического и практического опыта в диджитализации. Приведенные примеры демонстрируют дифференцированность целей и, соответственно, результатов цифровизации по экономическим отраслям и размерам коммерческих организаций. Полученные данные коррелируют с выводами других исследований. Предложенная модель содержит основные процессы/элементы, составляющие систему управления цифровыми трансформациями компании, и их взаимосвязи/взаимозависимости, учитывает драйверы диджитализации, а также риски, вызовы и угрозы цифровизации. В работе подчеркнуто, что в эффективной системе управления цифровыми трансформациями составляющие ее элементы должны выполняться синхронно и слаженно. Организация такого сложного процесса в значительной мере зависит от умения и навыков руководителей. По мнению автора, представленная в статье информация может помочь коммерческим организациям выстраивать практическое управление своими цифровыми трансформациями обоснованно и корректно.
Digital transformations are a modern trend for both commercial organizations and academic works. This paper aims at defining a conceptual model for management of a company digital transformation, based on the accumulated theoretical and practical experience in digitalization. The given examples demonstrate the differentiation of the goals and, consequently, the results of digitalization by economic sectors and the size of commercial organizations, which correlates with the data of other studies. The proposed model contains the main processes/elements that make up a company's digital transformation management system and their relationships/interdependencies, takes into account the drivers of digitalization, as well as the risks, challenges and threats of digitalization. The paper emphasizes that in an effective digital transformation management system, its constituent elements must be performed synchronously and coherently. The organization of such a complex process depends entirely on the ability and skills of managers. In the author's opinion, the information presented in the article helps commercial organizations to manage their digital transformations in a reasonable and correct way.

Authors: Щукина А.С. 
Published: September 2023

Актуальность исследования социально-экономических процессов в городах и ПГТ Тверской области, определения степени устойчивости опорного каркаса расселения региона определяется нарастающей асимметрией в их развитии, прежде всего концентрацией населения и экономической активности в региональном центре. Цель исследования – анализ факторов, определяющих неравномерность социально-экономического развития городов и ПГТ Тверской области. Выявлены и проанализированы факторы неравномерного развития городов и ПГТ Тверской области, среди них сжатие экономической базы, неудовлетворенность условиями труда и, как следствие, миграционный отток и сокращение численности населения, Ситуацию усугубляют особенности конфигурации территории области и значительная удаленность большинства городов и ПГТ от регионального центра. Социально-экономическое неблагополучие проявляется в уровне их благоустройства. Дана сравнительная оценка отдельных аспектов качества городской среды – уровня комфортности жилья и состояния улично-дорожной сети.
The relevance of the study of socio-economic processes in cities and urban areas of the Tver region, the determination of the degree of stability of the reference framework for resettlement of the region is determined by the growing asymmetry in their development, primarily the concentration of the population and economic activity in the regional center. Purpose of the study. Analysis of factors determining the unevenness of the socio-economic development of cities and urban areas of the Tver region. Study results. Factors of uneven development of cities and urban areas of the Tver region were identified and analyzed. Among them are the contraction of the economic base, dissatisfaction with working conditions and, as a result, migration outflow and population decline. The situation is aggravated by the peculiarities of the configuration of the region's territory and the significant remoteness of most cities and urban areas from the regional center. Socio-economic disadvantage is manifested in the level of their improvement. A comparative assessment of certain aspects of the quality of the urban environment is given – the level of comfort of housing and the state of the road network.
THE FEATURES OF THE FUNCTIONING OF THE PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP MECHANISM IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Published: September 2023

В настоящее время экономическая система страны проходит через этапы структурных преобразований, направленных на стабилизацию экономического развития, посредством достижения национальных целей, задач и в целом позволяющих формировать новую экономическую модель страны, направленную на улучшение качества жизни людей. Одним из таких механизмов, позволяющих достигать поставленные цели и задачи, является государственно-частное партнерство (ГЧП), в настоящее время успешно реализуемое в ряде европейских и западных стран. Однако в нашей стране его использование не является столь признанным, и на это существуют определенные причины. Цель статьи заключается в определении и раскрытии основополагающего фактора, способствующего формированию и дальнейшему развитию данного механизма в России – созданию институциональной среды ГЧП. Научная новизна заключается в разработке авторской схемы построения системы институциональной среды ГЧП в РФ, включающей формальные и неформальные институты, характеризующие особенности его функционирования.
The economic system of the country goes through the stages of structural transformation, which, first of all, will be aimed at stabilizing economic development, and secondly, at creating conceptually new structural transformations that can achieve national goals, objectives and, in general, form a new economic model of the country. The main goal of this model will be to maximize the satisfaction of a person's unique needs, stabilizing and improving the well-being of the people - improving the quality of life. One mechanism that solves this problem is public-private partnership (PPP). The analysis of journalistic publications made it possible to draw a preliminary conclusion that for the state, and for business, and for the population of our country as a whole, there are factors of attractiveness of using PPP mechanisms, but its institutional environment has not yet been finally formed and there are reasons (features) for this, which are disclosed in this article.
