Sustainable Investing with ESG - Variables Impacting Individual Investor Decisions

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Lately, global investors have shifted their focus from pure financial activity to impact investing. In addition to economic reasons, many investors worldwide are interested in corporate efforts addressing global issues such as climate change, work equity, and eradicating poverty. Millennials, according to polls, are more likely to purchase a product from a firm with a favorable environmental and social standing. Investors are seriously contemplating ESG investment opportunities with the notion that companies that adhere to ethical, environmental, social, and regulation practices have access to financial services. ESG investing has increased in India in recent years. However, this could only be the beginning, and more investor understanding of the concept and benefits of ESG investment in emerging markets is required. In light of the above context, the objective of this research was to understand better investors' opinions regarding ESG activities and how they influence their investment decisions. Our findings confirmed that investors' attitudes influenced by ESG Perception lead to investment decisions, and ESG activities can help moderate the relationship between ESG activities and investment decisions.

Supporting nurses' mental health during the pandemic.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare facilities have established new policies affecting nursing care, often with little input from the nurses who must implement them. These changes have led to mistrust and an altered sense of safety among nurses. This article focuses on how changing institutional policies affecting personal protective equipment and family visitation have affected nurses' mental health and offers practical suggestions for supporting resilience and mental health in nurses during this unprecedented public health crisis.
The Need-Relevant Instructor Behaviors Scale: Development and Initial Validation

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Purpose : This article outlines the development and validation of the Need-Relevant Instructor Behaviors Scale (NIBS). Drawing from self-determination theory, the NIBS is the first observation tool designed to code the frequency and the intensity of autonomy-, competence-, and relatedness-relevant behaviors of exercise instructors. The scale also captures the frequency of need-indifferent behaviors. Methods : The behaviors of 27 exercise instructors were coded by trained raters on two occasions, before and after they received training in adaptive motivational communication. Results : Findings supported the structural validity and reliability of the scale. The scale’s sensitivity to detect changes in frequency and intensity of need-relevant behaviors was also evidenced. Conclusions : The NIBS is a new tool that offers a unique, tripartite assessment of need-relevant behaviors of leaders in the physical activity domain.

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

In the post-COVID-19 period, social entrepreneurship is becoming extremely important, as it generates employment, and improves economic prosperity and solves various issues for society. Not many studies have attempted to understand the social entrepreneurship phenomena in post-COVID-19 period and its impact on society. Thus, there is a research gap, which this study aims to fill. This paper aims to analyse the impacts of intellectual capital and entrepreneurial ability on social entrepreneurship, and its impact on society in the post-COVID-19 period, moderated by technology capability. By the inputs of literature and lending knowledge from theories, a research model is prepared. It was verified using structural equation modelling with data collected through a survey. The study finds that intellectual capital and entrepreneur ability both significantly and positively impact social entrepreneurship. This study implies that intellectual capital and entrepreneurial ability could impact social entrepreneurship when moderated by technology capability, which in turn has social impact in the post-COVID-19 period. Also, the study highlights the moderating role of technology capability on social entrepreneurship.

Design and Development of a Versatile Drone for Multi-Payload Applications

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The paper presents the innovative design and development of a versatile, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) optimized for multi-payload applications, with an emphasis on agricultural crop disease detection. The drone is equipped with a variety of sensors such as high-definition video cameras, gyroscopes, and GPS, which makes it easier to integrate different payloads customized for particular applications. An important aspect of the proposed UAVis its integration of machine learning technology, specifically a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), for the real-time analysis and identification of crop diseases from aerial images. This method promises to revolutionize agricultural practices by enabling precise, early detection of diseases, thereby minimizing crop losses and optimizing yields. The paper provides the construction of the drone, including material selection for durability and weight optimization. It also outlines the machine learning pipeline, from data collection and model training to real-time deployment on the drone for in-field analysis. The results demonstrate the UAV's capability to successfully identify crop diseases, which shows its potential for broader applications in surveillance, delivery, and environmental monitoring. YOLO (You Only Look Once) is an advanced object detection algorithm renowned for its real-time performance and high accuracy. Unlike conventional methods that detect objects in multiple stages, YOLO employs a single convolutional neural network (CNN) to simultaneously predict bounding boxes and class probabilities. This approach enables rapid and precise object detection in images and videos, making it ideal for applications requiring fast processing, such as surveillance, autonomous vehicles, and drone operations.

Nationwide Assessment of Solar PV Power Potential Using Geospatial Data and Collaborative Research with Higher Education Institutions: Case of the Philippines

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. Geospatial technologies present a significant opportunity to assess solar photovoltaic (PV) power potential through remote sensing techniques and geospatial analysis. This aligns with the goal of ensuring access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy, one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that the Philippine National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) aims to achieve. In support of the said SDG, a research project, called Project SINAG, has developed a method for estimating solar PV power resources utilizing high-temporal remotely-sensed data. The primary objectives of this study are twofold: first, to develop a webGIS platform for solar energy resource information access and decision support; second, to conduct information dissemination and capacitybuilding activities for various stakeholders in the solar energy sector. The localized assessment of solar PV power potential incorporates meteorological and geomorphological factors such as high temperature, dust deposition, and slope. Collaboration with academic institutions, government agencies, and the solar energy industry has been instrumental in providing capacity-building through training workshops, internships, and on-the-job training. Moreover, the project has produced information, education, and communication (IEC) materials, launched a webGIS portal, and supported data requests and student research. The webGIS platform serves as the primary information dissemination tool for the project, enabling rapid sharing of research outputs with end-users. To enhance the platform, future developments may include additional functionalities such as community forums, client feedback mechanisms, mobile application development, and the integration of real-time data for map layers and forecasting tools.
European Integration: Politics of Opportunity for Hungarian Women

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Reviewing the literature on gender equality in Eastern Europe by Eastern European authors \nthe first impression is the striking absence of analyses on EU gender mainstreaming policy. Besides the government sponsored translations of EU laws, and descriptive hence self assuring official governmental reports there are very few pro-active works which might consider the mutual implication of EU enlargement as far as the implementation of norm of gender equality is concerned. As after the enlargement process the external becomes internal, it also means the complex realities of post socialist gender relations will be contributing to the already pressing uncertainties and inconsistencies of EU gender equality norms and will challenge the provisional facilitating instruments. Exporting EU gender equality policies to Eastwards means that EU policy makers assume that these policies are adequate and the only acceptable means to achieve to desire gender equality in the East. The paper analyses the process of policy transfer and the consequences of the de jure legal harmonization. Also the comparison how gender equality policy is implemented in the EU and in Hungary in the policy areas might answer to the question if gender equality values are different from other values.
Effects of fatigue on intramuscle force-stabilizing synergies

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Across multielement force production tasks, fatigue of an element leads to increased indexes of force stability (synergy indexes). Here, however, we show that groups of motor units in the tibialis anterior show decreased indexes of force-stabilizing synergies after fatiguing exercise. These findings align intramuscle synergies with spinal mechanisms, in contrast to the supraspinal control of multimuscle synergies.
Fuzzy tolerance neighborhood approach to image similarity in content-based image retrieval

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The main contribution of this thesis, is to define similarity measures between two images with the main focus on content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Each image is considered as a set of visual elements that can be described with a set of visual descriptions (features). The similarity between images is then defined as the nearness between sets of elements based on a tolerance and a fuzzy tolerance relation. A tolerance relation is used to describe the approximate nature of the visual perception. A fuzzy tolerance relation is adopted to eliminate the need for a sharp threshold and hence model the gradual changes in perception of similarities. Three real valued similarity measures as well as a fuzzy valued similarity measure are proposed. All of the methods are then used in two CBIR experiments and the results are compared with classical measures of distance (namely, Kantorovich, Hausdorff and Mahalanobis). The results are compared with other published research papers. An important advantage of the proposed methods is shown to be their effectiveness in an unsupervised setting with no prior information. Eighteen different features (based on color, texture and edge) are used in all the experiments. A feature selection algorithm is also used to train the system in choosing a suboptimal set of visual features.

The effect of age and increasing head‐up tilt on pre‐oxygenation times in children: a randomised exploratory study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Summary We conducted a randomised exploratory trial in children aged between one and sixteen years old to establish the time to achieve an end‐tidal oxygen fraction ≥ 0.9 in three different positions: supine, and 30 and 45° head up. We recruited 120 children analysed in two age groups: 1–8 years and 9–16 years. The median ( IQR [range]) time to reach the end point was 80 (59–114 [41‐295]) s in the younger group and 150 (107‐211 [44‐405]) s in the older group, regardless of position (p = 0.0001). The end point was reached in 90% of children in approximately 160 s in the younger, and 271 s in the older, groups, respectively. There was no statistical difference between the three positions within each age group in the time to reach the endpoint (p = 0.59). Only two patients in the older age group could not reach the end point, due to poorly fitting facemasks. We conclude that pre‐oxygenation can therefore be achieved effectively in most children, and that tilting children head up by 30 or 45° does not significantly reduce the time taken to achieve an end‐tidal oxygen fraction of ≥ 0.9. The recommended period for pre‐oxygenation in both groups should remain at 3 min but it should be noted that this may be insufficient for many older patients.
Local Government and the Unelected State

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The conventional view about local government and the transfer of many of its powers and responsibilities to unelected bodies is well summed up in the Association of Metropolitan Authorities' 1994 discussion document 'Changing the Face of QUANGOs': Democratic government in Britain today is threatened by the growth of a 'new magistracy' of appointees who sit on public bodies, spend taxpayers' money and take decisions (often in private) which should properly be the preserve of elected politicians from local government. Elected councillors have been removed from other bodies on which they used to sit as of right. QUANGOs now account for approximately £49.7 billion of public expenditure (about 20% of the total) - more than is allocated to local government in England and Wales in revenue Support Grant.
Dislocated distal radial fractures in adult patients: 4 weeks versus 6 weeks of cast immobilisation following reduction, a multicentre randomised controlled trial, study protocol

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction Up to 30% of patients with a dislocated distal radial fracture (DRF) treated with closed reduction and cast immobilisation suffer from long-term functional restrictions. It remains unclear, whether duration of cast immobilisation influences functional outcome. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the functional outcome of dislocated DRFs could be improved by shortening the period of immobilisation. Methods and analysis A single blinded multicentre randomised controlled trial is initiated. Four weeks of plaster cast immobilisation is compared with six week plaster cast immobilisation in adult patients with adequate reduced DRFs. Primary outcome parameters are functional outcome measured with the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation after 1 year of follow-up (FU). Secondary outcomes are: Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score after 1 year, 36-Item Short Form Health Survey after 1 year, functional outcome earlier in FU (6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months), range of motion, pain level and complications: number of re-interventions, secondary dislocation, delayed and non-union. Ethics and dissemination The medical ethical committee VUmc approved the study protocol (2018.004, NL62861.029.17). The expectation of this study is that a shorter duration of plaster cast immobilisation is beneficial. This risk of specific complications is low and generally similar in both treatment options. FU is standardised according to current trauma guidelines. Present literature indicates that both treatment options that are used within this study are accepted protocols for treatment of dislocated DRFs. This trial will provide Level-I evidence for the comparison of functional outcome between the two treatment options for dislocated DRFs. Results of this study are expected to be published as a prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled trial article in 2021. Trial registration The Netherlands National Trial Register: NTR 6600, ABR: NL62861.029.17. Medical Ethical Committee VUmc registration number: 2018.004.
Neuroectodermal differentiation from mouse multipotent adult progenitor cells

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

We recently showed that a rare cell from murine bone marrow, which we termed multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs), can be expanded for >120 population doublings. Mouse (m)MAPCs differentiate into mesenchymal lineage cells as well as endothelium and endoderm, and, when injected in the blastocyst, mMAPCs contribute to most if not all somatic cell lineages including the different cell types of the brain. Our results, reported herein, demonstrate that mMAPCs can also be induced to differentiate into cells having anatomical and electrophysiological characteristics similar to those of midbrain neurons. Differentiation to a neuronal phenotype was achieved by coculturing mMAPCs with astrocytes, suggesting that neuronal differentiation may require astrocyte-derived factors similar to what is required for the differentiation of embryonic stem cells and neural stem cells to neurons. Differentiation of mMAPCs to neuron-like cells follows similar developmental steps as described for embryonic stem cells and neural stem cells. MAPCs therefore may constitute a source of cells for treatment of central nervous system disorders.
Issues on carcinogen contaminated antihypertensive drugs and constructing drug safety management system

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

European Medicines Agency withdrew valsartan from European market in July 2018 because it was contaminated with carcinogen, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA). Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency also found the same contamination and withdrew it from England market. US Food and Drug Administration followed the action after confirming its contamination. Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) conducted testing all the valsartans at Korean market and withdrew some of them from market after confirming the contamination with NDMA. MFDS provided the pharmaceutical companies and laboratory institutions with the manual for testing both NDMA and NDEA and educated relevant personnels. MFDS also evaluated the health impact of the contaminated valsartan on the hypertensive patients who took the valsartan, which was shown to be very low risk of additional cancer incidence. MFDS pronounced strengthening of the safety management for the raw materials of the medicines. For guaranteeing the safety of medicines, more comprehensive drug safety management system from developing new drugs to consuming the medicines should be established. For achieving such a goal, active participation of all the stakeholders of the medicines including governmental agencies including MFDS and Ministry of Health and Welfare, the National Assembly, healthcare professionals, pharmaceutical companies, mass media, and general population including patients should be needed.
