    Firm interconnectedness and resilience:evidence from the Italian manufacturing

    Full text link
    This article explores how firm interconnectedness determines firm-level resilience. We argue that firms that engage in outward foreign direct investment are more interconnected, and therefore better equipped to deal with structural and economic shocks, than firms that are not engaged in outward foreign investment. Interconnectedness is measured along two dimensions; cross-border firm linkages and embeddedness in interconnected regions. We use a sample of 13,000 Italian manufacturing firms during the period 2008–2011. We find a positive association between firm interconnectedness and resilience. Moreover, we find the firms that operate in more interconnected regions to be more resilient than firms that operate in relatively isolated regions. Our results offer new insights into the complex interaction between firm and regional interconnectedness

    External interventions and the duration of civil wars

    Full text link
    The authors combine an empirical model of external intervention, with a theoretical model of civil war duration. Their empirical model of intervention allows them to analyze civil war duration, using"expected"rather than"actual"external intervention as an explanatory variable in the duration model. Unlike previous studies, they find that external intervention is positively associated with the duration of civil war. They distinguish partial third-party interventions that extend the length of war, from multilateral"peace"operations, which have a mandate to restore peace without taking sides - and which typically take place at war's end, or at least when both sides have agreed to a cease-fire. In a future paper, the authors will examine whether partial third-party interventions - whatever their effect on a war's duration - increase the risk of war's recurrence. If that proves true, then even if interventions reduce the length of civil war, they may do so at the cost of further destabilizing the political system, and sowing the seeds of future rebellion.Children and Youth,Peace&Peacekeeping,Post Conflict Reconstruction,Post Conflict Reconstruction,International Affairs,Post Conflict Reconstruction,Social Conflict and Violence,Peace&Peacekeeping,Post Conflict Reconstruction,International Affairs

    Appraising Systematic Reviews: a Comprehensive Guide To Ensuring Validity and Reliability

    Ibrahim, Ismail/0000-0002-0805-8181; Shaheen, Ahmed/0000-0001-9731-5065; Shaheen, Nour/0000-0001-8663-4044Systematic reviews play a crucial role in evidence-based practices as they consolidate research findings to inform decision-making. However, it is essential to assess the quality of systematic reviews to prevent biased or inaccurate conclusions. This paper underscores the importance of adhering to recognized guidelines, such as the PRISMA statement and Cochrane Handbook. These recommendations advocate for systematic approaches and emphasize the documentation of critical components, including the search strategy and study selection. A thorough evaluation of methodologies, research quality, and overall evidence strength is essential during the appraisal process. Identifying potential sources of bias and review limitations, such as selective reporting or trial heterogeneity, is facilitated by tools like the Cochrane Risk of Bias and the AMSTAR 2 checklist. The assessment of included studies emphasizes formulating clear research questions and employing appropriate search strategies to construct robust reviews. Relevance and bias reduction are ensured through meticulous selection of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Accurate data synthesis, including appropriate data extraction and analysis, is necessary for drawing reliable conclusions. Meta-analysis, a statistical method for aggregating trial findings, improves the precision of treatment impact estimates. Systematic reviews should consider crucial factors such as addressing biases, disclosing conflicts of interest, and acknowledging review and methodological limitations. This paper aims to enhance the reliability of systematic reviews, ultimately improving decision-making in healthcare, public policy, and other domains. It provides academics, practitioners, and policymakers with a comprehensive understanding of the evaluation process, empowering them to make well-informed decisions based on robust data.Emerging Sources Citation Inde

    Morphological and grammatical study of the fuctional derived nouns in the six anthologies by Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas / Ibrahim Shaaban

    No full text
    This research is a morphological, grammatical and analytical study on the multiplicity of the scale of five derived nouns and their formulas as used in the six anthologies (dawawin) of Senegalese Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas al-Kaulakhi, based on the chosen rulings, methods and context used by the author of the six collections. The research focuses and discusses on the subject noun, the accusative noun, the hyperbolic participles, the attributive participle, comparative/superlative adjective, and their scales and formulas, both standard and nonstandard, and the usage of their multiple meanings according to the methods employed in these six dawawin, including infinitive and augmented noun of three or four lettered origin, with grammatical rulings associated with alif and lam (al), as selected or chosen according to the usage of Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas al-Kaulakhi. In order to find out the context of morphological and grammatical methods, analyses were made that acquaint readers with the taste of Sheikh Ibrahim's ability in applying morphological and grammatical rules. Through extrapolation, the morphological and syntactic source of each derivative was separately traced in those six dawawin. In reviewing the morphological and syntactic language of those derivatives, books and the theories of ancient and modern linguists, according to consensus and contrast, were used in shedding light on each derived noun by studying the ancient morphological and syntactic sources according to the information and theories derived therefrom and made analysis thereon. In this regard, a morphological or grammatical context was established using a qualitative rather than quantitative approach based on which the research was conducted and its structure, sections and chapters arranged accordingly, with clarification and detailed analyses. Findings of this research have established the functioning of morphological structure and scales of the five derived nouns as well as the semantic meaning, application and usage of augmented derived nouns as dealt with in their grammatical rulings associated with the Arabic definite article - alif and lam (al), to enable them function in the past, present and future tenses, and what not. The research concluded with a revelation which is indicative of Sheikh Ibrahim Inyas’ ability and mastery of morphological scales and grammatical expertise as though he lived with and learnt from Khalil, Sibawayh, Ibn Jinni and Asma'i and their ilk
