Resources, Intangible Assets, Competencies, Capabilities and Algerian SMEs’ Performance: Strategy as Mediator
Authors: Bouguelmouna Kheira 
Published: May 2022

Abstract

Objective: The object of this study is to empirically examine Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) performance through the prism of strategic management theory.

Methodology: We apply Resource-Based-View into our research to explain the relationship of a firm’s performance with Resource factors and firm strategy. Fifty Algerian SMEs from the northwest region are targeted and PLS statistical analysis is applied to produce valid results.

Findings: Results show a direct positive relationship between firm strategy and resource factors with a firm’s performance. A direct positive relationship of resource factors with firm strategy is also recorded. However, the mediator role of the strategy is rejected.

Value Added: Research on Algerian SMEs’ performance has intensified in recent years, but few empirical studies have explored the influence of environmental, resource, and strategy factors related to performance.

Recommendations: The study makes a compelling case for strengthening government intervention alongside national Algerian SMEs, particularly those belonging to the industrial sector. It is an intervention that will specifically target the improvement, or even the simplification of the tax or quasi-tax system, banks’ credit standards flexibility (financial resources), and above all, substantive managerial support that could allow our SMEs to manage their resources better and acquire and develop new ones to provide higher performance.

Abstract

Introduction
Multi-class and multi-residue analyses are very complex procedures because of the physico-chemical properties of veterinary drug residues and other contaminants. The purpose of the study was to develop an analytical method for the sensitive determination of 69 analytes in bovine milk by liquid chromatography electrospray ionisation–tandem mass spectrometry.

Material and Methods
Antimicrobial, anabolic hormone, lactone, β-agonist, mycotoxin and pesticide residues were analysed in 120 raw milk samples from different dairy farms in North Macedonia. Stable isotopically labelled internal standards were used to facilitate effective quantification of the analytes.

Results
The linear regression coefficients were higher than 0.99, the limits of detection ranged from 0.0036 to 47.94 μg/L, and the limits of quantification ranged from 0.053 to 59.43 μg/L. The decision limit values ranged from 0.062 to 211.32 μg/L and the detection capability from 0.080 to 233.71 μg/L. Average recoveries of the analytes spiked in raw milk were in the range of 70.83% to 109%, intra-day coefficient of variation (CV) values from 2.41% to 22.29%, and inter-day CV values from 3.48% to 23.91%. The method was successfully applied in the testing of bovine milk samples. In five samples residues were detected. They were sulfadimethoxine (in two samples), enrofloxacin, tetracycline and oxytetracycline and were at concentrations below the EU maximum residue limit.

Conclusion
The method is useful for routine testing for this group of chemical hazards in bovine milk.

Abstract

Background: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to a global health care crisis. We report profiles of cases admitted to our hospital.

Methods: We conducted this study at the pulmonology unit of a Dedicated COVID Hospital (DCH) of Western India. This is a prospective observational study which analysed the demographical data, clinical parameters, comorbidities, complications and laboratory and outcome parameters.

Results: Our study included 101 patients. The mean age was 43 years; 64 (63.3%) were men and 37 (36.7%) women. Out of 101, 6 (6%) had mild, 30 (30%) had moderate and 65 (64%) had severe COVID-19 disease. Severity increased with age and comorbidities. Ninety-four (94%) had pneumonia. Of these 94, 65 (69%) patients had acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Twenty-one (21%) were mild, 20 (31%) moderate and 24 (37%) severe ARDS. ARDS severity increased with age and in men. Thirty-six (36%) required oxygenation only and 29 (29%) required additional ventilatory management – mostly non-invasive ventilation (NIV). The laboratory values analysis revealed elevation of D-dimers level in 66 (65.3%) and IL6 in 68 (67.3%). Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HT) were the common comorbidities. Totally three (2.97%) patients died due to COVID-19 infection. Mortality was associated with HT and myocarditis. Mean duration of hospital stay was 15 days, and it increased with increasing severity of disease and ARDS.

Conclusion: COVID-19 is common in the adult with male preponderance. The majority recovered with a good outcome. Comorbidities affected outcome adversely.
Time-Sensitivity as a Possible Way through Ecclesial Deadlock in Regard to the Eucharist
Authors: O’Loughlin Thomas 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
In studying those issues that separate the Eastern and Western churches and prevent reciprocal eucharistic hospitality most attention is devoted to precise matters of doctrine that have become contested over time. This paper argues that there are larger issues of theological approach which prevent progress in dialogue and mutual understanding. While Westerners focus on history as the underpinning of doctrine, Easterners focus on eschatology as its “completion.” But both sides should note that neither approach can grasp the reality of ‘the present’ which is the moment of liturgical action. Noting these divergent perspectives may enrich dialogue; while acknowledging their respective limits may provide a way through the current impasse.
Modeling the Impacts of MSMEs’ Contributions to GDP and their Constraints on Unemployment: The Case of African’s Most Populous Country

Abstract
The activities of micro small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are crucial to combating the menace of unemployment towards the actualization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in African. However, financial constraints and infrastructural deficits are conspicuous issues among the numerous challenges confronting MSMEs’ activities in many developing nations. Hence, this study explores the challenges and the impacts of MSMEs’ contributions to GDP on the unemployment level in Nigeria as Africa’s most populous country. The empirical results from the study using annual time series data (1985-2018) reveal that a rise in MSMEs’ activities vis-à-vis their contributions to GDP in 5 major economic sectors (agriculture, trade, accommodation, manufacturing, and other services) alongside the financial support given to them, have significant impacts on stemming the level of unemployment in the Nigerian economy. Contrastively, the cost of accessing credit by MSMEs significantly exasperates unemployment while the impacts of the level of infrastructural investments by the government were found to be insignificant in reducing unemployment in the country over the reviewed period. In practical terms, the findings suggest that while ensuring adequate provision of financial support to MSMEs, cogent efforts should be concurrently geared toward the implementation of sufficient budgetary allocations for investment in critical infrastructures like electricity, transport, and ICT facilities to boost MSMEs’ activities to proactively address the unemployment menace in Nigeria.
Effects of Heterogeneous Institutional Investors on the Performance of Portuguese Banks
Authors: Vítor Pereira 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Effective corporate governance is fundamental to the correct operation of the banking sector. This study examines corporate governance in terms of the effects of different combinations of institutional investors on the performance of Portuguese banks. Effects based on kind (e.g. type of institutional investor) and degree (e.g. institutional investor experience) are considered. The results of a crisp-set qualitative comparative analysis (csQCA) show that the simultaneous presence of banks and corporations as shareholders, and non-presence of financial companies can positively affect banks’ return on average assets (ROAA) and return on average equity (ROAE). This research provides a wider picture of possible impacts in terms of banks’ performance when there are different types of institutional owners. Lastly, the results are particularly relevant for the supervision protocols developed by the Bank of Portugal and the European Central Bank, in situations of changes of banks’ shareholders.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
The purpose of our article is to examine whether corporate governance dimensions and audit reporting lags affect firm performance in Turkey. In this article 30 firms operating in BIST 30 were used. Data cover the 2013-2019 periods. To analyze relationships between variables, we used the Westerlund Cointegration test and CCE Group Estimator. According to results, there is a long-term cointegrated relationship between dependent and independent variables in both models. In both models, there is significantly negative relationship between reporting lags and ROA/ROE. There is significantly positive relationship between firm performance and board independence. This study is one of the few studies measuring audit reporting lag and different corporate governance dimensions and their impact on firm financial performance in Turkey.
Tunneling Through Private Equity Placements: Evidence from Japan
Authors: Chenchen Su 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This paper examines the tunneling issue of controlling shareholders, and in particular, this empirical study is conducted to determine whether controlling shareholders are tunneling the wealth of companies by using private equity placements (hereafter, PEPs), which have been frequently used as a means of equity financing in the Japanese market in recent years. We find that the discount rate is higher for PEPs issued to the controlling shareholders compared with PEPs issued to others. This empirical result is robust considering several methods of calculating the discount rate of PEPs. Furthermore, we find that discounts of PEPs are more likely to take place in the ex-ante controlling shareholder case than in the ex-post controlling shareholder case. The findings of this paper mainly make three contributions. Firstly, this paper contributes to prior studies and adds to the empirical evidence on the detailed path of tunneling by controlling shareholders. Secondly, this paper contributes to prior studies related to determinants of the price discount of PEPs. Thirdly, this paper contributes to institutional design in practice.

Published: May 2022

The catastrophic eruption of Mount Agung in 1963 had spewed deposits of lava and sandstone covering the lower reaches of the Sebudi Village area. After the eruption of Mount Agung, the lava and sandstone deposits were explored as minerals C and used as a new source of income for their welfare, but the community did not pay taxes. The purpose of the study is to describe struggles in fighting for capital between actors in the realm of the type-C excavation in Sebudi Village. This research was carried out with a qualitative approach, using a triangulation technique, namely by observation, in-depth interviews with informants with the technique of purposive sampling, and documentation studies. The theory used is the theory of hegemony, the theory of power-knowledge discourse, and the theory of social practice.The results of the study reveal that factors that trigger the occurrence of chaos are due to regulatory factors issued by the government which cause conflicts of interest between agencies in managing the type-C excavation. The implications of the chaos of type-C excavation have been changing the structure of infrastructure buildings, unclear topographic and geographical boundaries. Additionally, local government policies in law enforcement have made a shift in status of land ownership which is closely related to the interests and powers of actors and agencies in determining their actions.
Keywords: regulation, chaos, type-C excavation, land ownership

Published: May 2022

Many artisans prefer to use artificial (synthetic) dyes because they are faster and easier. However, chemical substances from synthetic dye waste are harmful to the environment. Eco-print technique minimizes environmental losses due to natural coloring techniques on printing or transferring colors and motifs from plants directly to the medium. This study aimed to determine the color fastness of eco-print on goatskin material against wet rubbing and sunlight using mordant and tunjung. This research was descriptive research with a quantitative approach. The results showed that the average evaluation value of color fastness to sunlight was 4.75, better than wet rubbing, which got an average evaluation value of 4.42. The bivariate analysis showed the value of sig. (0.043) or H0 was rejected. In conclusion, there was a difference in color fastness from eco-print on goatskin material against wet rubbing and sunlight.
Keywords: eco-print, fastness resistance, goatskin.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of this study is to identify the features of the poetics of G.D. Grebenshchikov's novel "The Epic of Mikul Buyanovich", written during the years of emigration. The first edition of the novel took place in 1924. The article reflects the reception of critics of the Russian diaspora to this publication and to the authorized translation of 1940, which was published in the USA. The main hypothesis is that this novel can be correlated with Russian ornamental prose at the genre-style level, they are brought together by epic stylization, plot fragmentation, a large role of individual motifs when the text unfolds in the system of intertextual relations reflecting the mythologized worldview of the author. Ornamental prose is an artistic and stylistic kind of verbal skill that combines the features of prose and poetry, therefore, linguopoetic and contextual analysis is used in the work. Taking into account that ornamental prose is a concept that is not correlated with a specific style, and ornamental fields are constantly modified depending on the author's artistic method, conclusions are drawn about the main stylistic "keys" and genre transformations of G.D. Grebenshchikov's novel "The Epic of Mikul Buyanovich". The renewal of the artistic language in the first half of the XX century was a characteristic phenomenon not only for modernist literary trends, but also for traditionalism, with which the aesthetic attitudes and artistic practice of G.D. Grebenshchikov can be correlated.

Up today, August 28, 2021, about 215,5 million people have been infected with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-19 and with a global death of 4,5 million. US deaths 636,7K (fatality 0,194) and Spain 97,7K (fatality 0,208).
Many protocols have been implemented for the treatment of COVID-19 since the beginning of this pandemic throughout the world, but specific guidelines have never been made by the different international Societies with respect to unifying criteria for action given the diversity of treatments that do not have had adequate clinical evidence. Since the vaccination campaign began, treatment has focused on hospitalized patients, but no prophylactic or early-onset treatment has been offered, limiting their access simply to infections with serious symptoms.

ОЦІНКА СТІЙКОСТІ ЗМІН КОМПОНЕНТІВ ІНТЕРНАЛЬНОСТІ МАЙБУТНІХ ПСИХОЛОГІВ У РЕЗУЛЬТАТІ ВПРОВАДЖЕННЯ АВТОРСЬКОЇ ПРОГРАМИ
Authors: Кетлер-Митницька Тетяна 
Published: May 2022

Мета. У статті описано результати експериментального дослідження, спрямованого на оцінку стійкості змін компонентів інтернальності студентів-психологів через 3 роки після впровадження авторської програми.
Методи. З метою оцінки сформованості компонентів інтернальності використано опитувальники «Локус контролю» (у модифікації О. Ксенофонтової), «Самооцінка рівня онтогенетичної рефлексії» (за М. Фетискіним, В. Козловим, Г. Мануйловим), «Здатність до прогнозування» (Л. Регуш), «Тест атрибутивних стилів» (Л. Рудіна), «Шкала контролю за дією» (Ю. Куль в адаптації С. Шапкіна), «Стиль саморегуляції поведінки – ССП-98» (В. Моросанова). Для порівняння отриманих результатів застосовано t-критерій Стьюдента.
Результати. За даними зіставлення трьох замірів (до впровадження, після впровадження та через 3 роки після впровадження авторської програми), в експериментальній групі найбільшою мірою підвищився усереднений показник регулятивного компоненту інтернальності. Проте його зростання, дуже інтенсивне у період впровадження програми, в подальшому уповільнилося. Позитивні зміни когнітивного компоненту були менш вираженими, але більш рівномірними. Показник особистісного компоненту зріс за час формувального експерименту, але за наступні 3 роки незначно знизився порівняно з рівнем другого заміру. В цілому, за всіма компонентами інтернальності членів експериментальної групи усереднений показник, отриманий в результаті остаточної діагностики, перевищував результати першого заміру. Застосування t-критерія Стьюдента довело статистичну значущість виявлених позитивних змін. В контрольній групі зміни усереднених показників компонентів інтернальності є незначними та не мають статистичної значущості.
Висновки. Отримані дані дозволяють дати позитивну оцінку стійкості змін компонентів інтернальності майбутніх психологів в результаті впровадження авторської програми «Формування інтернальності майбутніх психологів як чинника готовності до особистісно-професійного саморозвитку». На відміну від членів контрольної групи, ті студенти, з якими було проведено розвивальні заняття, протягом трьох років після впровадження програми посилили інтернальні прояви.
