Using Walter\u27s Model for Analyzing the Relationship Between the Inflation Rate and The Stock\u27s Fair Value
No full textThis paper uses the Walter model as the adopted framework to elucidate the correlation between the inflation rate and the fair value of shares of industrial businesses listed on the Iraqi Stock Exchange. The research used the Walter model to examine the correlation between the inflation rate and the equitable value of shares. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) was used to calculate the rate of return necessary for determining the risk premium. The risk premium, one of the model\u27s components, is determined by considering the beta factor, the return of the RM market portfolio, and the risk-free rate of return RF. The study focused on examining the significance of the risk premium in determining fair value. The rate of return needed is a fundamental element of it. Statistical analysis was performed to calculate the correlation coefficient and conduct simple and multiple regression analysis. This was done to assess the connection between the variables in the research. The investigation arrived at specific results and uncovered a clear association between the inflation rate and the fair value of equities. The paper presents an analysis of the influence of inflation on stock value and conducts a comparison examination of accounting methodologies for stock inflation. It assists market players in making portfolio choices by providing them with inflation information. Policymakers may use contractionary policy measures to diminish the money supply. The paper examines the influence of inflation on methodologies used to evaluate stocks.

The Politics of Canonisation Among Women Poets of the Romantic Era
Full text linkThe Romantic period (late 18th to mid-19th century) is traditionally defined by the works of male poets such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Lord Byron, while the contributions of women poets were marginalized or erased through the canonization process. This paper examines the socio-political and cultural factors that influenced the exclusion of women poets from the Romantic canon, focusing on the roles played by male-dominated literary societies, critics, and editors. By scrutinizing the works prominent women poets like Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Charlotte Smith, and Mary Robinson, the analysis highlights the gendered assumptions about literary value that led to the devaluation of their works. Feminist literary criticism and modern re-evaluations of Romanticism have led to the recovery of these poets, expanding the understanding of the Romantic period. Despite these efforts, challenges remain in fully integrating women poets into the established canon. The research paper concludes with recommendations for further investigation into the politics of canon formation, advocating for a more inclusive approach to literary history

Evaluation of mediation in food justice in Ecuador opportunities, challenges, and effectiveness
Full text linkThis study assessed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of mediation within the context of food justice in Ecuador, aiming to analyze its effectiveness and feasibility. Using SWOT analysis, both normative and practical aspects were explored through interviews with 35 experts, including judges, lawyers, mediators, and officials from mediation centers. The results revealed that mediation has been beneficial in resolving food-related conflicts, particularly when the parties are willing to reach an agreement. However, barriers such as resistance from the parties, lack of resources, and insufficient training for mediators were identified. The review of practical cases demonstrated that mediated processes are faster and achieve higher agreement rates compared to judicial ones. Despite the strengths, significant challenges were highlighted, especially those related to inadequate infrastructure and the need for better regulation of the mandatory nature of mediation. A set of recommendations was proposed, including improving mediator training, promoting mandatory mediation, and leveraging digital technologies to enhance accessibility
Characterization of ophthalmological manifestations in patients recovered from COVID-19
Full text linkIntroduction: Since the end of 2019, the world has been immersed in a health crisis caused by COVID-19, with millions of deaths globally. Ocular involvement is associated with respiratory symptoms and may be the first manifestation of the disease. Objective: To describe the short- and long-term ophthalmological manifestations in patients recovered from COVID-19. Methodological design: A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was carried out. The universe was composed of patients recovered from COVID-19, who were being followed up in the national convalescent care protocol at the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital, and were referred to the Ophthalmology clinic from February 2021 to June 2023. The sample consisted of 180 eyes of 90 patients, who met the selection criteria. Results: There was a predominance of the age group composed of women between 40 and 49 years, which represented 34% of the total. Most cases (65.5%) were evaluated less than 3 months after the initial diagnosis. 25.5% of patients presented at least one ocular disease, with conjunctivitis being the most frequent (26.5%), followed by dry eye (18.3%). Conclusions: In the evolutionary follow-up, a decrease in ocular diseases initially diagnosed as conjunctivitis was observed, however, others such as dry eye remained unchanged in their percentage of presentation and clinical manifestations. Patients evaluated with a shorter time of evolution of COVID-19 presented more severe ocular condition
The role of historical memory in the formation of national identity: a study of the Ukrainian case
Full text linkIntroduction: The formation of historical memory in modern Ukraine is an important stage in the fight against Russian aggression, which has both military and ideological components. Objective: The purpose of the article is to analyse the role of historical memory in the formation of national identity (in the example of the Ukrainian experience). Methods: The study is based on the PRISMA approach. The criteria for including literature were based on content, thematic relevance, and methodology. The languages of the literature are English and Ukrainian. A total of 50 items were selected. We used software such as Excel and VOSviewer to create graphs and tables. The methods of comparative analysis and synthesis were used in the study. Results: An important aspect of contemporary historical memory in Ukraine is the appeal to key historical markers that have a significant impact on the formation of national consciousness. Russian aggression has generated a demand for Ukrainian historical symbols and narratives that influence national identity through public relations channels. Conflict is important, and it can lead to a conflict of “memories” that is reinforced by certain political speculations. At the same time, addressing historical issues in political debates (politicisation of historical memory) and the lack of a generalised national narrative on the history of Ukraine are urgent challenges to the further influence of historical memory on the consolidation of Ukrainians. Conclusions: Historical memory is an important tool for overcoming the spread of Russian propaganda, which openly spreads myths about the revival of the Soviet empir
Knowledge of research and scientific publication in medical students
Full text linkMedical schools prepare students in academic knowledge, sometimes without introducing them to the research process. Objective: to analyze the knowledge in research and scientific publication of medical students in social service, 2023. Methods: quantitative, correlational study, sample of 84 students, through non-probabilistic convenience sampling, statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 25 doing descriptive analysis of central tendency, grouping, and inferential with p value = 0.05 using Pearson\u27s R test. Results: 64.3% participants reported having knowledge about research methodology, of those 39.3% had average knowledge of research methodology. 8.3% acknowledged having at least one scientific publication made, of them, 2.3% with high knowledge. 53.6% reported having participated in some scientific research, of which 8.3% had a scientific publication, with p value=0.014 (0.012-0.016). 64.3% of participants reported having knowledge about research methodology, of which 40.4% reported having participated in some scientific research, with p value=0.024 (0.021 – 0.026). Conclusions: There is no correlation between knowledge of scientific research and publication for undergraduate students, about to complete their studies, however there is a correlation between participation in scientific research and publication, and knowledge of scientific research and participation in research; which opens the door to the hypothesis that knowledge of scientific research does not allow them to publish on their own, in addition, that they do not feel interest or do not perceive a benefit in achieving research and publishing before graduating from the degre
