Agri-food cooperatives are fundamental for social cohesion in rural areas, where they are mostly concentrated. These organizations not only enhance the competitiveness of their members' farms but also generate wealth and employment, helping to retain population and combat rural depopulation. This study analyzes the factors influencing Murcian agricultural producers' decisions to join cooperatives. To do this, a Probit regression model is employed, based on survey data from 225 agricultural producers in the Region of Murcia, both cooperative members and non-members. The results show that household economic dependence on agriculture, preference for long-term commercial relationships, and specialization in olive oil or dairy products increase the likelihood of cooperative membership. Conversely, the availability of alternative marketing options and higher risk aversion decreases this likelihood. This analysis provides valuable information for cooperative managers, sector organizations, and public administrations by offering a profile of agricultural producers, which aids in designing strategies to attract new members and consolidate existing ones.

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the determinants of home deliveries among women in Somaliland, with the objective of informing targeted interventions to improve maternal and child health outcomes. Design: A cross-sectional study design was employed, utilizing data from a nationally representative sample of 3250 women in Somaliland. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the factors influencing the likelihood of home delivery. Site: The study was conducted in Somaliland, a region where home delivery remains prevalent. Participants: The study included 3250 women of reproductive age in Somaliland who had given birth. Interventions: No specific interventions were administered as part of this study. The focus was on understanding the factors associated with home deliveries. Main measurements: Sociodemographic, economic, and regional factors were examined as potential determinants of home deliveries. Education levels of women and their husbands, maternal age at first marriage and first birth, and household wealth were among the main measurements analyzed. Results: The analysis revealed that higher education levels were associated with a decreased likelihood of home delivery. Women with secondary (OR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0.32–0.55) or higher (OR: 0.21, 95% CI: 0.12–0.37) education were less likely to deliver at home than those with no education. Similarly, women whose husbands had a secondary (OR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.41–0.73) or higher (OR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.28–0.66) education were less likely to deliver at home. Increased maternal age at first marriage (OR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.02–1.06) and first birth (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01–1.05) were significant predictors of home delivery. Lower household wealth was also associated with a higher likelihood of home delivery. Significant regional variations were observed, with certain regions showing higher rates of home deliveries compared to others. Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of targeted interventions to address sociodemographic and regional disparities in the utilization of institutional delivery services in Somaliland. Strategies should focus on improving access to and quality of maternal healthcare services, empowering women's decision-making, and engaging men to address gender norms within households. Resumen: Objetivo: Este estudio transversal se propuso identificar los factores determinantes de los partos en el hogar entre las mujeres de Somalilandia, con el objetivo de informar de las intervenciones dirigidas a mejorar los resultados de salud materna e infantil. Diseño: Se empleó un diseño de estudio transversal, utilizando datos de una muestra nacional representativa de 3.250 mujeres en Somalilandia. Se realizó un análisis de regresión logística multivariante para examinar los factores que influyen en la probabilidad de dar a luz en casa. Emplazamiento: El estudio se llevó a cabo en Somalilandia, una región donde el parto en casa sigue siendo frecuente. Participantes: El estudio incluyó a 3.250 mujeres en edad reproductiva de Somalilandia que habían dado a luz. Intervenciones: No se administraron intervenciones específicas como parte de este estudio. La atención se centró en comprender los factores asociados a los partos domiciliarios. Mediciones principales: Se examinaron factores sociodemográficos, económicos y regionales como posibles determinantes de los partos en el hogar. Los niveles de educación de las mujeres y sus maridos, la edad materna en el momento del primer matrimonio y el primer parto y la riqueza del hogar fueron algunas de las principales medidas analizadas. Resultados: El análisis reveló que un mayor nivel educativo se asociaba con una menor probabilidad de parto en casa. Las mujeres con estudios secundarios (OR: 0,42; IC 95%: 0,32-0,55) o superiores (OR: 0,21; IC 95%: 0,12-0,37) tenían menos probabilidades de dar a luz en casa que las que no tenían estudios. Del mismo modo, las mujeres cuyos maridos tenían estudios secundarios (OR: 0,55; IC 95%: 0,41-0,73) o superiores (OR: 0,43; IC 95%: 0,28-0,66) tenían menos probabilidades de dar a luz en casa. Una mayor edad materna en el primer matrimonio (OR: 1,04; IC 95%: 1,02-1,06) y en el primer parto (OR: 1,03; IC 95%: 1,01-1,05) fueron predictores significativos de parto en casa. Una menor riqueza familiar también se asoció con una mayor probabilidad de parto en casa. Se observaron variaciones regionales significativas y algunas regiones mostraron tasas más elevadas de partos en casa que otras. Conclusiones: Los hallazgos destacan la importancia de las intervenciones específicas para abordar las disparidades sociodemográficas y regionales en la utilización de los servicios de parto institucional en Somalilandia. Las estrategias deben centrarse en mejorar el acceso y la calidad de los servicios de atención sanitaria materna, potenciar la toma de decisiones de las mujeres e implicar a los hombres para abordar las normas de género en los hogares.

Inclusion of rural youth is of great importance to facilitate nutritional security and make the food chain more sustainable. A positive attitude is necessary for active participation in agricultural activities. This case study was an attempt to check the attitude of rural youth regarding sustainable farming and its contributing factors. The study was carried out in the Punjab province of Pakistan and a transverse research design was used for this quantitative study. An interview schedule was used for getting the face-to-face response of rural youth. To make the unknown population of rural youth in Punjab, the Fisher formula was used and a sample of 413 was selected from purposely selected three districts of Punjab. After recording data, Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the data. Descriptive Statistics was used to explain the response of rural youth for the decision on the base of data. Only 53 young farmers said that they have never been part of the formal education system and maximum number of farmers was close to 24 years of age or more than that. Rural youth of Punjab is lacking in non-formal education for acquiring or maintaining their skills & interests. Unemployment and having limited farm income are the biggest challenges that rural youth is facing. Rural youth show a strong inclination towards opting for sustainable farming alongside the availability of a supportive network. Regarding to learning capacities rural youth is lacking related to knowledge, communication means, novel approaches and in promoting sustainable farming initiatives. To achieve the goal of sustainability in changing environment, rural youth must have access to continuous training, communication sources, membership, or association with organizations with novel ideas covering all the changes happening in the farming business.

Esta investigación descriptiva-correlacional analiza el nivel de divulgación de información complementaria y adicional de las cooperativas de trabajo de Santa Fe (Argentina) en los estados financieros emitidos entre diciembre de 2020 y marzo de 2022, relacionándolo con los factores: tamaño, solvencia patrimonial, rendimiento económico y dependencia estatal. Presenta dos índices de revelación —obligatoria y voluntaria— sobre aspectos socioeconómicos que denotan presencia o ausencia de información. Describe la falta de información voluntaria y aplica un modelo de regresión sobre la información obligatoria, estableciendo como determinantes la dependencia estatal y el tamaño de acuerdo con las ventas. Concluye que, siendo los estados financieros una herramienta indispensable, el campo de indagación sigue abierto para incorporar técnicas cualitativas que permitan conocer otros factores según la opinión de preparadores, auditores y partes interesadas. Se espera que los resultados sirvan a la regulación contable, entendiendo que deberían evidenciarse los principios y valores de la economía social.

Due to the increasing importance of the insurance market in the Brazilian economy, reflected in its significant contribution to the national GDP and its influence on various sectors, it is essential to understand the dynamics of this sector to ensure the economic and financial balance of insurance companies through solid performance. In this context, this study aimed to identify the factors that significantly impact the profitability of Brazilian insurers. Using a sample of 63 Brazilian insurers over an eight-year period from 2014 to 2021, panel data modeling was employed as the analytical technique. The study sought to relate and identify potential influencers on the profitability, measured by Return on Assets (ROA), of the insurers in the sample. The selected variables to test for influences on profitability were: capital volume, leverage, loss ratio, extended combined ratio, and sector of operation. Based on existing literature, five hypotheses were formulated to test the significance of the adopted variables. The results revealed that only leverage, extended combined ratio, and sector of operation showed statistical significance in explaining the dependent variable ROA, thereby confirming three of the formulated hypotheses.

Through this study, we tried to analyze customer behavior towards food delivery apps as well as make a comparison of behavior by users from two tiers which is made to suggest strategies for food delivery startups. To accomplish this objective, first the literature is reviewed to develop a constructive model, and then primary data is collected from food app users in the Indian cities of Chandigarh and Bhubaneswar to verify the assumptions on factors affecting their behavior. The results show that financial and health safety, along with flexible delivery and ease of use are significant determinants of customer satisfaction in digital food service and the behavior of customers in two different tiers is shown to be similar, except in the significance of variety options and few aspects of discounts and flexible delivery. This study is significant for food delivery stakeholders such as investors, founders of startups, and vendors to strategize their service as per preferences of the end customer found in this study.

En este trabajo indagamos qué procesos metonímicos actúan en el funcionamiento de determinantes definidos e indefinidos del español y cómo la conceptualización de los sistemas de determinación nominal puede verse beneficiada si se incorpora a las descripciones pedagógicas la toma de conciencia de los vínculos metonímicos entre los diferentes valores de las formas y construcciones estudiadas. Abordaremos la distinción entre valores de generalización (Un médico debe ser empático), valores inespecíficos (Necesitamos un médico) y valores específicos (Pediré cita a un médico que me recomendaron) de artículos y otros determinantes cuantificadores, así como la interpretación cuantificativa de determinantes definidos, como en No sabes los amigos que tiene Laura, en el sentido de ‘No sabes cuántos amigos tiene Laura’. El uso de notaciones icónicas propias de la Gramática Cognitiva, así como de conceptos tales como la distinción perfil/base, entre otros, permitirá integrar la metonimia en el marco de la noción de estructuración conceptual (construal), propia del modelo de la Gramática Cognitiva. En cuanto a la aplicación didáctica, valoraremos las ventajas de la aproximación cognitiva en combinación con distintos tipos de ejercicios y estrategias de conceptualización en las tareas de presentación y práctica de diferentes determinantes.

El trabajo tiene por objetivo describir cómo influyen los factores del sistema tributario y las características de la organización en la informalidad empresarial en Argentina. Metodológicamente, se desarrolla una investigación cualitativa-descriptiva con datos primarios recolectados mediante entrevistas a empresarios y contadores públicos de la ciudad de Bahía Blanca (Buenos Aires, Argentina). Se efectúa un análisis de contenido cualitativo, empleando codificación basada en teoría. Según los resultados, la onerosidad tributaria; el diseño y aplicación de los controles fiscales; las consecuencias del incumplimiento; y la administración y destino de los recursos fiscales son factores del sistema tributario influyentes en la informalidad empresarial; mientras que el tamaño, la tipología tributaria, el sector, el tipo cliente, el domicilio fiscal y la ubicación, y el medio de pago son características de la organización y de la operación con influencia en el fenómeno. Asimismo, la interacción entre los factores desalienta el cumplimiento fiscal. Los hallazgos contribuyen con la formulación de políticas públicas para reducir la informalidad.

O relato a seguir detalha a abordagem de um problema elementar de Álgebra Linear emergido durante o ensino remoto decorrente da pandemia de Covid-19. Nesse pe-ríodo, os processos avaliativos se tornaram não-presenciais através dos Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem, o que exigiu do professor uma série de ajustes em seus instrumentos para tal finalidade: dentre eles, a necessidade de ter à disposição variações de uma mesma questão a fim de dificultar a troca de respostas entre os discentes. O problema em questão envolve o cálculo do determinante de um produto de duas matrizes não-quadradas de certas ordens analisado sob a ótica da composição de transformações lineares, em contraponto a uma solução elementar, isto é, utilizando-se apenas de conhecimentos básicos de matrizes e sistemas lineares. Essa última demanda a análise de um polinômio de 12 variáveis e 48 monômios de cancelamentos não triviais, enquanto a solução via transformações lineares é muito mais curta e elegante e depende apenas de resultados introdutórios dessa área.

Objective. To know the prevalence of early childhood development (ECD), its determinants, and exposure to violent discipline methods among Mexican children in 2022. Materials and methods. We estimated the ECD, its determinants, and exposure to violent discipline methods indicators following the methodology of Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS). We calculated the prevalence for each indicator and disaggregated it by children and sociodemographic characteristics. Results. We found that 19.3% of children aged 24 to 59 months were not developmentally on track. There exists a low attendance to early learning programs (7.1%) and preschool (62.4%). Among children younger than five years old 41.7% did not have access to children's books and 8.1% had inadequate care. Additionally, 55.5% of children aged 1 to 14 years old were exposed to violent discipline methods. Conclusion. The results allow us to know children's situation and guide the public policy aimed to this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Esta pesquisa analisa os determinantes da quantidade de principais assuntos de auditoria (PAA) reportados nos relatórios de auditoria no período de 2016 a 2019 das empresas não financeiras listadas na B3. Aplicou-se o modelo longitudinal de regressão para dados em painel - Log-Linear de Poisson, para uma amostra anual de no mínimo 272 companhias, resultando em 1.198 relatórios e 3.295 PAA (variável dependente), considerando como variáveis explicativas os aspectos do auditor, do auditado e mecanismos de governança corporativa. Os achados demonstram que ser auditado por big four está negativamente associado ao quantitativo de PAA. Isso pode ocorrer devido as big four ou não relatarem mesmo número médio de PAA por companhia. Auditores de empresas maiores, menos rentáveis e, com maior risco operacional divulgam mais PAA, provavelmente visando assegurar sua independência. Os comitês de auditoria não foram estatisticamente significativos, não impactando na quantidade de PAA reportados. Os resultados contribuem com a literatura sobre fatores que afetam a divulgação de PAA em um contexto não europeu (Bepari et al., 2022) com quatro anos de dados, e às empresas, auditores e órgãos de regulação e supervisão, por meio da regressão multinível de Poisson, que é uma abordagem adequada para dados de contagem estruturados em clusters de observações relativamente similares (painéis). Isso avança os estudos de Ferreira e Morais (2020) e Guedes et al. (2021) que utilizaram ordinary least squares (OLS) e Colares et al. (2020) que empregou o teste Qui-quadrado em análises de um ou dois anos de características que tendem a estabelecer a quantidade de PAA no Brasil.

This study aims to investigate how different types of financial institutions - commercial banks, credit unions, and multiple-service banks - influence the variations in profitability observed in the sector. The sample comprises 923 institutions that operated in the Brazilian financial market during the year 2016. To assess this relationship, a hierarchical econometric approach was employed. The obtained results indicate that disparities among the types of financial institutions play a crucial role in determining the achieved profitability. The hierarchical regression model reveals that around 7.68% of the total variation in profitability can be attributed to differences between these types of financial institutions. This research significantly contributes to the understanding of the factors affecting the profitability of these institutions, introducing a new perspective in the field. The central role played by the types of financial institutions in analyzing profitability fluctuations is highlighted. By exploring this complex relationship, the study offers a valuable contribution to both literature and practice, providing a more complete and comprehensive understanding of how these institutions operate in the Brazilian economic context. The obtained results offer a broader view of the determinants of financial institutions' profitability. Additionally, they have the potential to enhance management strategies and decision-making by identifying the key factors that shape the financial performance of these entities.

This paper analyses what kinds of metonymy are implied in the usage of definite and indefinite determiners in Spanish. It also assesses how can the conceptualization of determiners systems be improved by developing learners’ awareness of metonymic links between the different values of these forms and the constructions they take part in. The distinction between generic references values (Un médico debe ser empático ‘A doctor must be empathic’), non-specific values (Necesitamos un médico ‘We need a doctor’) and specific values (Pediré cita a un médico que me recomendaron ‘I will request an appointment for a doctor that was recommended to me) of articles and some quantifiers will be discussed, as well as the quantifying interpretation of definite determiners in cases such as ¡No sabes los amigos que tiene Laura! ‘You don’t know the friends Laura has’, meaning ‘You don’t know (you can’t imagine) how many friends Laura has’. The use of the typical iconic notations of Cognitive Grammar (Langacker), and likewise of others theoretical tools of this model such as the profile/base alignment, among others, will allow to consider metonymy as a kind of construal. Regarding the didactic application, we will explore the advantages of the cognitive approach combined with a variety of exercises and conceptualization strategies in tasks of presentation and practice of different determiners.

Objective: To determine the prevalence and associated factors of female genital mutilation (FGM) among daughters of women aged 15-49 in Somalia using data from the 2020 Somaliland Demographic and Health Survey (SDHS)., Design: A cross-sectional study utilizing data from the 2020 SDHS., Setting: Data was collected across Somalia, including urban, rural, and nomadic areas., Main Measurements: FGM prevalence was presented as percentages. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify associated factors, presented as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals., Results: The prevalence of FGM among daughters was 24%. Factors significantly associated with FGM included age, region, residence, education, and wealth index. Younger daughters were more likely to be circumcised (p=0.000, 95% CI: 0.066-0.274). Rural residence increased the likelihood of FGM (OR=1.436, CI=1.257-1.64). Primary education increased the odds of FGM (OR=1.334, CI=1.127-1.58). Mothers who believed FGM should continue were more likely to have circumcised daughters (OR=1.464, CI=1.305-1.642)., Conclusions: FGM prevalence among daughters in Somalia is influenced by age, region, rural residency, and education. The findings highlight the need for targeted educational and intervention programs, particularly in rural areas, to effectively reduce FGM practices., (Publicado por Elsevier España S.L.U.)

Resumo: A telicidade se caracteriza pela presença de um ponto final do evento delimitado linguisticamente na sentença. Um dos meios pelos quais essa delimitação pode ser feita se dá pela inserção de determinantes no complemento verbal. No espanhol, discute-se se determinantes plurais conduzem a uma leitura télica ou atélica da sentença. Nessa língua, existe uma partícula aspectual conhecida como “se” télico que ratifica o valor de telicidade da sentença. Dessa forma, ele é utilizado, nesta pesquisa, como um instrumento para a verificação do papel que possuem os determinantes plurais, quando encabeçam o complemento verbal, para a delimitação do evento. Diante disso, pretendeu-se, com este trabalho, verificar se o “se” télico poderia combinar-se com verbos que contivessem complementos verbais encabeçados por determinantes plurais no espanhol a partir de dados das variedades faladas na Colômbia e no Chile. Para tanto, foi aplicado um teste linguístico, caracterizado como de julgamento de gramaticalidade comentado, a falantes nativos dessas regiões. Os resultados demonstram que que a associação investigada no estudo é possível em ambas as variedades e que complementos verbais encabeçados por determinantes plurais conduzem a uma leitura télica da sentença. Além disso, foi possível observar que a associação do “se” télico com verbos como “beber” e com determinantes como “ciertos(as)” e “pocos(as)” parece pouco frequente na língua. Discutiu-se que o “se” télico parece combinar-se com mais frequência com verbos que contenham complementos encabeçados por determinantes plurais que possuam uma menor dependência contextual. Palavras-chave: telicidade; “se” télico; determinantes; delimitação; espanhol. Abstract: Telicity is characterized by the presence of an endpoint of the event linguistically delimited in the sentence. One of the ways in which this delimitation can be made is through the insertion of determiners in the verbal complement. In Spanish, it is discussed whether plural determiners lead to a telic or atelic reading of the sentence. In that language, there is an aspectual particle known as the telic “se” that ratifies the telicity value of the sentence. Thus, it is used, in this research, as an instrument to verify the role that plural determiners have, when they head the verbal complement, for the delimitation of the event. In view of this, it was intended, with this work, to verify if the telic “se” could be combined with verbs that contained verbal complements headed by plural determiners in Spanish based on data from the varieties spoken in Colombia and Chile. For this purpose, a linguistic test, characterized as commented grammar judgment, was applied to native speakers of these regions. The results demonstrate that the association investigated in the study is possible in both varieties and that verbal complements headed by plural determiners lead to a telic reading of the sentence. In addition, it was possible to observe that the association of the telic “se” with verbs such as “beber” and with determiners such as “ciertos(as)” and “pocos(as)” seems infrequent in the language. It was argued that the telic “se” seems to combine more frequently with verbs that contain complements headed by plural determiners that have less contextual dependence. Keywords: telicity; telic “se”; determiners; delimitation; Spanish.

Una forma de aproximarse al entendimiento del mercado laboral, es estudiando la duración del desempleo y los factores que la determinan. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo estimar los determinantes de la duración del desempleo en el departamento de Boyacá - Colombia para el periodo 2019-2021, utilizando los datos de la gran encuesta de hogares (GEIH) del DANE. A través de regresiones cuantílicas, para duraciones de 1 a 8 semanas, de 9 a 20 y mayores a 21 semanas. Los resultados obtenidos muestran, que ser jefe de hogar disminuye el tiempo de desempleo de un trabajador, se verifica la hipótesis de que las mujeres tienen períodos de desempleo de mayor duración que los hombres. Las variables edad y la escolaridad tienen un efecto similar, una mayor edad o más años de educación disminuyen la duración del desempleo, pero solo hasta cierto umbral, después del cual el periodo de búsqueda se hace más prolongado. Por otra parte, se evidencia que otros ingresos no son una variable significativa.

The objective of this work is to analyze the performance of the Brazilian banking sector and its determinants. The present research was divided into two parts, the first part seeks to determine the technical efficiency by the DEA-BCC model in the main Brazilian banks in the period from 2010 to 2019. In the second part, the determinants that can influence the performance of banks are evaluated. Estimates indicate that large banks are, on average, more efficient than small and medium-sized banks. In addition, when looking at the type of ownership, foreign banks tend to perform better compared to national banks. In addition, the determinants point out that the net interest margin and non-interest income are significant and contribute positively to the level of efficiency. In turn, the capital adequacy ratio, non-performing loans and inflation have a negative impact on technical efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine the degree of disability and its socioeconomic and clinical determinants as well as the access to health and rehabilitation services in people with hemiplegia or hemiparesis in the city of Popayán, Cauca, Colombia. Methodology: descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 52 people of legal age, with a diagnosis of hemiplegia or hemiparesis. The WHODAS 2.0 disability assessment questionnaire was applied. Results: A hundred percent of the people studied had a disability, and the disability average total was 44.7%, corresponding to moderate disability. The participants showed difficulties in all domains of functioning, with moderate difficulty in the cognition, personal care and daily activities domains, and severe difficulty with mobility and participation. Conclusions: Hemiparesis and hemiplegia cause disability in different degrees of severity determined by the pathological state and the interaction and the influence of multiple socioeconomic, clinical factors and access to health and rehabilitation services.

The internationalization of higher education places a responsibility on universities to prepare their students to live and work in an intercultural society. At the Universidad Nacional del Sur (Argentina), Mundo UNS program encompasses the offer of international mobility opportunities for undergraduate students. Due to the central role of mobility opportunities in the aforementioned responsibility, it turns out to analyze the determinants of the probability that a student accesses them. For this, multilevel regression models are estimated, considering the students applying to Mundo UNS in 2018. The results show that curriculum compliance, language abilities and an over-average performance have a positive impact on being chosen for these programs. Thus, the role of international mobility programs as a policy tool for educational inclusion is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo: Analizar el flujo de inversión extranjera directa de la República Popular China desde el 2008 al 2017 en 7 países latinoamericanos: Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, México, Perú y Uruguay. Método: La investigación es de tipo cuantitativo, no experimental, longitudinal de panel, de alcance descriptivo y explicativo. Se analizaron las siguientes variables: Producto Interno Bruto, balanza comercial, instituciones, inflación, distancia de Beijing a la capital del país latinoamericano y los recursos naturales, desde el 2008 al 2017. Resultados: Los resultados de la investigación muestran que la única variable que por el momento atrae la inversión china a Latinoamérica es el tamaño de la economía. Conclusiones: Por consiguiente, se concluye que aquellos países que cuenten con un PIB más elevado, serán mayormente atractivos para la deslocalización de la inversión China.
