Can corporate Social Responsibility Contribute to Bankruptcy Prediction? Evidence from Croatia
Authors: Galant Adriana , Zenzerović Robert 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

Background/Purpose
Companies are becoming aware of the fact that corporate social responsibility (CSR) is becoming the imperative of their sustainable business model despite the potential costs it could generate. Researchers are mostly focused on estimating the relationship between CSR and financial performance where most of the findings indicate their positive relationship. This paper expands existing research and focuses on the relationship between CSR and the risk of bankruptcy using the data from 102 midsize and large companies from non-financial sectors using the data for four years. Research expands existing studies on the EU level according to the fact that most of the existing studies are performed among US companies.

Method
Descriptive statistics and SEM-PLS methodology was used to compare and analyze financial data with data collected from 7 groups of stakeholders.

Results
Research results indicate that the relation between CSR and the risk of bankruptcy is negative. Conclusion: Becoming a socially responsible company is in the best interest of all stakeholders because CSR activities contribute to financial stability and maintenance of going concern assumption.

AbstractFormer open-pit fluorite mining and processing at the Okorusu carbonatite deposit, Namibia, resulted in a large tailings dump comprising an old (~553 kt) and a new tailings part (~3.8 Mt). We characterise dump tailings mineralogically and geochemically in order to evaluate the potential for processing of relict fluorite and recovery of other commodities of interest. The tailings comprise largely quartz, K-feldspar, different carbonates (ankerite, calcite, dolomite, siderite and manganese carbonates), fluorite, apatite, pyroxenes, hornblende and Fe (hydro)oxides, whereas all other mineral phases such as baryte, pyrite, pyrochlore and REE fluorcarbonates occur in traces. The largest proportional difference between samples from the surface of the new and old tailings pertains to fluorite (average old dump: ~12 vol.%; average new dump: ~5 vol.%) and apatite proportions (average old dump: ~8 vol.%; average new dump: ~5 vol.%). Mineralogical contrasts between both tailings parts result largely from fluorite, apatite, quartz and Fe (hydro)oxides being more abundant in old tailings and carbonates being more abundant in new tailings. Geochemically, these contrasts are reflected in the major element composition, while variances in trace element compositions are mostly small. The mineral proportions clearly point out considerable fluorite (≥804 kt) and apatite (≥742 kt) resources, with potential by-products of Nb and REE based on drilling data. The readily available material in combination with a high proportion (about 80%) of liberated fluorite are favourable for re-processing by locally available flotation technology. Therefore, the tailings dump can be considered a valuable resource for the critical raw material fluorite and the fertiliser raw material apatite, which are wanted materials on international and national markets.

ABSTRAKRangkaian panel RISHA menciptakan ruangan maksimal 3 m x 3 m. Beberapa penelitian yang dilakukan membuktikan ukuran tersebut belum nyaman jika digunakan sebagai rumah tinggal Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah (MBR). Pada perkembangannya, teknologi RISHA digunakan untuk bangunan dengan bentang balok yang lebih lebar, sehingga kekakuan balok harus ditingkatkan, oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi posisi sambungan dan penambahan elemen pengaku dalam upaya meningkatkan kekakuan pada sambungan antar panel struktur RISHA. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan simulasi software beam calculator untuk mendapatkan uji gaya momen, gaya geser, dan defleksi. Analisis menggunakan metode weighted product (WP) untuk mendapatkan posisi sambungan dan elemen pengaku terbaik. Simulasi dilakukan dengan eksplorasi posisi sambungan dan elemen pengaku untuk meningkatkan kekakuan pada sambungan antar panel struktur RISHA. Hasil pengujian menunjukan balok yang terdiri dari tiga panel memiliki kekakuan yang lebih besar dari dua panel dan elemen pengaku splice lebih unggul dibandingkan corbel, maka penambahan elemen pengaku terbukti dapat meningkatkan kekakuan pada sambungan antar panel struktur RISHA.Kata kunci: RISHA, kekakuan, corbel, splice, momen, gaya geser ABSTRACTThe RISHA series of panels creates a room of up to 3 m x 3 m. Several studies have been conducted to prove that this size is not comfortable when used as a low-income community residence. In its development, RISHA technology is used for buildings with wider span beams, so that beam stiffness must be increased, therefore this study aims to review the position of joints and the addition of stiffener elements to increase stiffness in joints between RISHA structural panels. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach. The data collection method uses beam calculator software simulation to obtain moment force, shear, and deflection tests. The analysis uses the weighted product (WP) method to get the best joints and stiffener elements. The simulation was carried out by exploring the position of the joints and the stiffening of the elements to increase the stiffness of the joints between the RISHA structural panels. The test results show that the beam consisting of three panels has greater stiffness than the two panels and the splice stiffener element is more than the corbel, so the addition of the stiffener element is proven to increase the elasticity at the joints between the RISHA structural panels.Keywords: RISHA, stiffener, corbel, splice, moment, shear force

BACKGROUND
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) was previously characterized as the proliferation of Langerhans-type histiocytes with a wide range of clinical presentations that arise mostly in children. The typical presentation is a gradually enlarging, painless skull mass. Rapid clinical deterioration is rare.

OBSERVATIONS
A 3-year-old boy who had incurred a right frontal impact head injury demonstrated no apparent neurological deficits. He subsequently bruised the same region multiple times. The right frontal swelling gradually increased over the course of 6 days after the initial injury. Skull radiography showed no bony lesion. The same site enlarged markedly 12 days after the initial injury. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a frontal bony tumorous lesion associated with multiple subcutaneous cystic mass lesions. The patient underwent open biopsy of the skull lesion and evacuation of the subcutaneous lesions. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of LCH. Immunohistochemical evaluation revealed positivity for CD1a and langerin and no immunopositivity for BRAF V600E. The skull lesion spontaneously disappeared 30 days after the biopsy without recurrence.

LESSONS
Physicians should be aware of this rare clinical manifestation of LCH that developed by a repeat head injury.

Published: August 2023

Background: The ability to understand and make use of object-scene relationships are critical for object and scene recognition. Objective: The current study assessed whether patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), possibly in the preclinical phase of Alzheimer’s disease, exhibited impairment in processing contextual information in scene and object recognition. Methods: In Experiment 1, subjects viewed images of foreground objects in either semantic consistent or inconsistent scenes under no time pressure, and they verbally reported the names of foreground objects and backgrounds. Experiment 2 replicated Experiment 1, except that subjects were required to name scene first. Experiment 3 examined object and scene recognition accuracy baselines, recognition difficulty, familiarity with objects/scenes, and object-scene consistency judgements. Results: There were contextual consistency effects on scene recognition for MCI and healthy subjects, regardless of response sequence. Scenes were recognized more accurately under the consistent condition than the inconsistent condition. Additionally, MCI patients were more susceptible to incongruent contextual information, possibly due to inhibitory deficits or over-dependence on semantic knowledge. However, no significant differences between MCI and healthy subjects were observed in consistency judgement, recognition accuracy, recognition difficulty and familiarity rating, suggesting no significant impairment in object and scene knowledge among MCI subjects. Conclusions: The study indicates that MCI patients retain relatively intact contextual processing ability but may exhibit inhibitory deficits or over-reliance on semantic knowledge.

Published: August 2023

Background: To date, the reliable detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains a significant challenge for clinicians. Very few studies investigated the sensitivity of acoustic features in detecting Mandarin-speaking elders at risk for MCI, defined as “putative MCI” (pMCI). Objective: This study sought to investigate the possibility of using automatically extracted speech acoustic features to detect elderly people with pMCI and reveal the potential acoustic markers of cognitive decline at an early stage. Methods: Forty-one older adults with pMCI and 41 healthy elderly controls completed four reading tasks (syllable utterance, tongue twister, diadochokinesis, and short sentence reading), from which acoustic features were extracted automatically to train machine learning classifiers. Correlation analysis was employed to evaluate the relationship between classifier predictions and participants’ cognitive ability measured by Mini-Mental State Examination 2. Results: Classification results revealed that some temporal features (e.g., speech rate, utterance duration, and the number of silent pauses), spectral features (e.g., variability of F1 and F2), and energy features (e.g., SD of peak intensity and SD of intensity range) were effective predictors of pMCI. The best classification result was achieved in the Random Forest classifier (accuracy = 0.81, AUC = 0.81). Correlation analysis uncovered a strong negative correlation between participants’ cognitive test scores and the probability estimates of pMCI in the Random Forest classifier, and a modest negative correlation in the Support Vector Machine classifier. Conclusions: The automatic acoustic analysis of speech could provide a promising non-invasive way to assess and monitor the early cognitive decline in Mandarin-speaking elders.
Common Molecular Signatures Between Coronavirus Infection and Alzheimer’s Disease Reveal Targets for Drug Development

Published: August 2023

Background: Cognitive decline is a common consequence of COVID-19, and studies suggest a link between COVID-19 and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. Objective: To understand the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the association between COVID-19 and AD development, and identify the potential genetic targets for pharmaceutical approaches to reduce the risk or delay the development of COVID-19-related neurological pathologies. Methods: We analyzed transcriptome datasets of 638 brain samples using a novel Robust Rank Aggregation method, followed by functional enrichment, protein-protein, hub genes, gene-miRNA, and gene-transcription factor (TF) interaction analyses to identify molecular markers altered in AD and COVID-19 infected brains. Results: Our analyses of frontal cortex from COVID-19 and AD patients identified commonly altered genes, miRNAs and TFs. Functional enrichment and hub gene analysis of these molecular changes revealed commonly altered pathways, including downregulation of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling and taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, alongside upregulation of neuroinflammatory pathways. Furthermore, gene-miRNA and gene-TF network analyses provided potential up- and downstream regulators of identified pathways. Conclusion: We found that downregulation of cAMP signaling pathway, taurine metabolisms, and upregulation of neuroinflammatory related pathways are commonly altered in AD and COVID-19 pathogenesis, and may make COVID-19 patients more susceptible to cognitive decline and AD. We also identified genetic targets, regulating these pathways that can be targeted pharmaceutically to reduce the risk or delay the development of COVID-19-related neurological pathologies and AD.

Background: Evidence supports a role for the gut-brain axis in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Mice overexpressing human wild type α– synuclein (Thy1-haSyn) exhibit slow colonic transit prior to motor deficits, mirroring prodromal constipation in PD. Identifying molecular changes in the gut could provide both biomarkers for early diagnosis and gut-targeted therapies to prevent progression. Objective: To identify early molecular changes in the gut-brain axis in Thy1-haSyn mice through gene expression profiling. Methods: Gene expression profiling was performed on gut (colon) and brain (striatal) tissue from Thy1-haSyn and wild-type (WT) mice aged 1 and 3 months using 3′ RNA sequencing. Analysis included differential expression, gene set enrichment and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Results: At one month, differential expression (Thy1-haSyn vs. WT) of mitochondrial genes and pathways related to PD was discordant between gut and brain, with negative enrichment in brain (enriched in WT) but positive enrichment in gut. Linear regression of WGCNA modules showed partial independence of gut and brain gene expression changes. Thy1-haSyn-associated WGCNA modules in the gut were enriched for PD risk genes and PD-relevant pathways including inflammation, autophagy, and oxidative stress. Changes in gene expression were modest at 3 months. Conclusions: Overexpression of haSyn acutely disrupts gene expression in the colon. While changes in colon gene expression are highly related to known PD-relevant mechanisms, they are distinct from brain changes, and in some cases, opposite in direction. These findings are in line with the emerging view of PD as a multi-system disease.

<p>Proses pembuatan arang secara tradisional menghasilkan rendemen yang rendah dan kandungan air yang tinggi sehingga harus dijemur dibawah panas matahari. Sebagian besar proses pembuatan arang dengan cara tradisional dilakukan dengan cara membakar secara langsung tempurung kelapa dan untuk memadamkannya menggunakan air. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mendesain <em>drum kiln</em> dan mensimulasikan aliran panas dari dapur pemanas menggunakan <em>software</em> <em>SOLIDWORKS</em>. Pada penelitian ini juga dipelajari pengaruh waktu inisasi pembakaran tempurung kelapa pada temperatur pemanasan 450 <sup>o</sup>C terhadap rendemen arang tempurung kelapa dari waktu 2-5 jam pembakaran dan membandingkan dengan cara konvensional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, waktu inisiasi optimum diperoleh pada 2 jam proses yang menghasilkan rendemen sebesar 60%. Selanjutnya, proses pembakaran konvensional hanya mengasilkan rendemen 30% dengan waktu proses lebih lama yaitu 7 jam. Peningkatan lama pemanasan menurunkan kadar air dan kadar abu pada arang. Proses pembakaran dengan tungku arang minim asap dengan sistem konsentrasi asap lebih baik dibandingkan pembakaran konvensional. Kualitas arang yang dihasilkan dari pembakaran tungku minim asap dengan sistem konsentrasi asap lebih baik dibanding dengan cara tradisional. Hasil simulasi aliran panas dengan <em>SOLIDWORKS</em> diperoleh karakteristik aliran panas turbulen pada bagian dalam <em>drum kiln</em> dan bagian atas penutup luar.</p>
