Esperante: A new espereante lenguage.
No full textEsperanto was designed as an international language. However, this is not the case because its vocabulary is based on European languages that are unfamiliar to most of the world population. In this respect, we should look at recent statistics where the top native speakers in the world are Chinese (11.92%), Spanish (5.99%), and English (4.92%) [1]. It is important to note that the Chinese use Mandarin, which is not a language but a set of dialects they use as a common language
Macroeconomic Determinants Of Credit Risks: The Case Of Low- And Lower-Middle Income Countries
Get PDFThe financial system of low- and middle-income countries is characterized by the difficulty of credit risk management. This study aims to create an effective risk management framework by studying the impacts of the macroeconomic environment on credit risk. It applies the GMM system model in the context of the unbalanced panel data of 43 countries over the period from 2005 to 2021. The results indicated that economic activity variables do not have a significant effect on credit risk, unlike monetary variables
Measuring China’s Core Inflation: A Common Trends Approach
Get PDFIn this study, we estimate core inflation in China using a common trends model over the period from July 2017 to July 2021. In this framework, core inflation is estimated from the information contained in the following variables: the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Money Supply (M2), and the Industrial Production Index (IPI). Unlike other commonly used measures such as the structural VAR model, the core inflation obtained by the common trends method has a strong correlation with monetary growth and less volatile than headline inflation. It provides an estimate of underlying inflation based on broader information, integrating macro-economic variables which play an important role in determining the long-term inflation rate. It thus makes it possible to identify the strategies of monetary and budgetary policies making it possible to achieve the inflation target and an economic growth objective
Etude De La Démotivation Du Choix De La Section Coupe Et Couture Par Les Garçons De La Ville De Kamina (RD Congo)
Get PDFCette étude a été menée dans le but de mettre en évidence les facteurs de la démotivation des garçons de la ville de Kamina à embrasser la section coupe et couture aux humanités. Grâce à l’enquête réalisée de façon libre et volontaire aux écoles Lubimbi, Gad School, Bulaya, Termitière et Les Savants, les résultats obtenus prouvent que la plupart de garçons ne sont pas motivés à embrasser la section coupe et couture à cause de l’influence des amis (40%), des parents (28%) et de la gêne (20%), en ce sens que cette section est uniquement réservée aux femmes (80%).Par ailleurs, cette section améliore les conditions de vie des acteurs impliqués sur les plans social et économique, car elle offre de nombreux emplois et participe à la lutte contre la pauvreté en procurant un revenu afin de satisfaire divers besoins

L’hinterland de Kinshasa, comprenant notamment les sites agricoles de Ndjili Cecomaf, Tshuenge Masina, Tadi et Lukaya, pourra assurément tirer profit de cette innovation technologique pour améliorer la productivité des cultures maraichères exploitées jusqu’alors de manière rudimentaire. Cette étude explore les potentialités et les possibilités de l’usage des drones agricoles et propose des pistes de solution pour une optimisation de cette technologie nouvelle dans ces milieux ruraux
Audit Reporting Quality And Audit Fee
Get PDFThis study examines the relationship between audit reporting quality and audit fees in Nigeria, focusing on key determinants such as audit firm size, client risk, and firm profitability. Grounded in agency theory, the study highlights how audit fees serve as a mechanism to mitigate agency conflicts and enhance financial transparency. Using an ex-post facto research design, data were collected from 52 listed firms on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) between 2018 and 2020. A multiple regression analysis was conducted using E-Views 8.0 to evaluate the impact of independent variables on audit fees. The findings reveal that audit firm size significantly affects audit fees (β = 0.0177, p = 0.021), indicating that larger firms charge higher fees due to their reputation and credibility. Similarly, client risk has a positive and significant impact on audit fees (β = 0.2061, p = 0.027), suggesting that riskier firms incur higher audit costs due to increased scrutiny and litigation risks. Additionally, client firm profitability significantly influences audit fees (β = 0.0025, p = 0.009), implying that more profitable firms pay higher fees due to their complex financial structures. The model's R-squared value (0.1138) indicates that while these variables contribute to audit fee determination, other unexplored factors may also be relevant. The study underscores the need for stronger regulatory oversight to ensure that high audit fees correlate with improved audit quality rather than compromised auditor independence. Future research should explore longitudinal trends in audit fee structures and their implications for financial reporting credibility in Nigeria
Analysis of Profit Efficiency of Rice Farming in Solok Regency
Get PDFAbstract—Profit efficiency is a combination of technical and allocative efficiency which provides more information than other partial efficiency measurements and will determine future farming prospects. This study aims to (1) analyze the profit efficiency of rice farming in Solok Regency and (2) analyze the socio-economic factors of farmers influence the profit efficiency of rice farming in Solok Regency. This study was conducted in X Koto Singkarak District, Solok Regency in June-July 2024 using a survey method of 100 respondents taken by random sampling. Data were analyzed using the Cobb Douglas Stochastic Profit Frontier function using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) approach. The results showed at a confidence level of 95%, seed prices and land rental cost have a positive effect on profits. NPK Phonska fertilizer prices, labor wages, and equipment depreciation costs have a negative effect on profits. Profit efficiency of rice farming in Solok Regency is 0.91 means rice farming has reached 91% profit from the maximum profit limit. Rice farming experience and farmer's formal education have a positive effect on profit efficiency of rice farming in Solok Regency. Increasing the profit efficiency of rice farming can be achieved by reducing the cost allocation for NPK Phonska fertilizer, labor wages, and equipment depreciation costs because the increase in the value of these variables leads to a decrease in rice farming profits. Farmer who are members of farmer groups are expected no to overuse fertilizer even though they get subsidized fertilizers in order to reduce production costs, increase profits, and increase the efficiency of rice farming profits.Keywords— Productivity, Profit Efficiency, Rice Farming, Solok Regency, Stochastic Profit Frontier Cobb Dougla

Advancements in Osteoarthritis Management Through Platelet-Rich Plasma Applications
Get PDFOsteoarthritis (OA) is a common problem. It causes pain and makes it hard to move. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections could be a treatment option. However, how well they work is unclear. We also need to know more about their safety compared to standard treatments. This review looks at how well PRP injections work for OA. We also examine their safety by studying data from clinical trials. We included studies if they tested PRP injections for hip OA. The studies also had to report any bad effects. All studies showed that PRP reduced pain and improved movement. There was no major safety issues reported. This suggests PRP is safe. Minor side effects were short-lived and went away on their own. The quality of the studies varied from low to high. In conclusion, PRP injections seem safe and effective for OA. They appear to work better than hyaluronic acid. More research is needed to make PRP treatments standard. We also need to study the long-term safety and effects
