Sustainable business performance has gained significant attention in today’s business landscape. Increasing global apprehension regarding environmental issues is compelling organizations to align with sustainable development principles (Khan, Ahmad, et al., 2023). This study examines the direct and indirect effects of stakeholder pressure, tactical green marketing orientation, and service innovation capability on sustainable business performance in five specific SME sectors. A web-based questionnaire was administered to 233 SME representatives from the selected industries using the resource-based view theory and stakeholder’s theory. Path modeling using Partial Least Squares (PLS) 4.0 was used to analyze the data and assess the research hypotheses. The results indicate that stakeholder pressure influences green marketing tactics. In addition, the results indicate that green marketing orientation moderates the relationship between stakeholder pressure and sustainable business performance. In contrast, service innovation capability moderates the relationship between green marketing orientation and sustainable business performance. This study contributes to better comprehending the relationship between tactical green marketing and a company’s sustainable performance, thereby providing managers with valuable insights for enhancing sustainable business performance

Moderating Role of Governance in Growth-Technology-Environment Nexus: Evidence from Developing Economies
Authors: Fazal Snober , Azam Ali
Published: August 2023

Competition among economies to attain maximum economic growth has led to environmental degradation. At the same time, technological innovations are empirically validated for having a role in achieving sustainable development. Good governance could make appropriate measures to design frameworks, develop instruments, and set targets to protect the environment. The current study intends to check the nexus among technological innovations, energy consumption, economic growth, and environmental degradation for a panel of 40 developing countries. The panel data of developing economies for a period of 25 years (from 1996 to 2020) was collected. The relationship was theoretically and econometrically modeled and finally analyzed using the dynamic panel Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The empirical results of the dynamic panel GMM technique reveal significant and insightful relationships between the variables and their impact on environmental degradation (CO2 emissions). Technological innovations and renewable energy consumption negatively affect CO2 emissions, while economic growth, financial development, and globalization have positive effects. By moderating the growth-technology-environment nexus, governance enhances the positive impact of technological innovations and renewable energy consumption while mitigating the adverse effects of economic growth on CO2 emissions. These findings have important implications for policymakers addressing environmental issues and promoting sustainable development.

Authors: Vijay Singh Sharanagat  , Praveen Jogihalli  , Lochan Singh  , Kshitiz Kumar
Published: August 2023

Chickpea grains were roasted by traditional sand roasting (180, 200 and 220ºC) and microwave roasting (450 W, 600 W and 900 W) for 5, 10 and 15 min. The effects of roasting method and their parameters on physico-mechanical and roasting characteristics were determined. Roasting led to an increase in size, sphericity, angle of repose, porosity and puffing index of chickpea. Significant (p<0.05) reduction in fracture force and coefficient of friction was observed. True density decreased with roasting and the lowest value of 787.87 kg.m-3 was observed on sand roasting at 180°C for 15 min. The highest value of puffing index (179.87 %) and length/width ratio (155.04 %) was observed for sand roasting at 220ºC for 15 min and 5 min, respectively. The force required for rupture of chickpea reduced with roasting, and the lowest value (32.28 N) was observed during sand roasting at 220ºC for 10 min. The optimum roasting condition identified for sand and microwave roasting to obtain higher puffing index, lower hardness and rupture energy was observed to be 220 ºC for 10 min and 600 W for 15 min, respectively.

Authors: Elham Mohammad Bashir , Samimi Shirali
Published: August 2023

This study aims to examine the historical context, dynamics, and implications of the political and cultural relations between Afghanistan and Iran during the reign of Amanullah Khan (1919-1929 AD). The method employed involves analyzing historical records and narratives to understand the initial cordiality between Amanullah Khan and Reza Shah, their visits to each other's countries, and the subsequent deterioration of political relations. Despite external influences from global powers that sought to hinder the expansion of political, economic, and cultural ties between the two nations, the shared history and interests of Afghanistan and Iran fostered a strong cultural relationship. This study finds that cultural relations served as a reliable foundation for enhancing overall bilateral relations, often compensating for fluctuations in political interactions. The implications of this research highlight the significance of cultural relations as a means to strengthen and diversify ties between neighboring countries, suggesting that a focus on cultural exchange can yield positive outcomes even in the absence of strong political alliances.

Published: August 2023

Question generation aims to generate meaningful and fluent questions, which can address the lack of a question-answer type annotated corpus by augmenting the available data. Using unannotated text with optional answers as input contents, question generation can be divided into two types based on whether answers are provided: answer-aware and answer-agnostic. While generating questions by providing answers is challenging, generating high-quality questions without providing answers is even more difficult for both humans and machines. To address this issue, we proposed a novel end-to-end model called question generation with answer extractor (QGAE), which is able to transform answer-agnostic question generation into answer-aware question generation by directly extracting candidate answers. This approach effectively utilizes unlabeled data for generating high-quality question-answer pairs, and its end-to-end design makes it more convenient than a multi-stage method that requires at least two pre-trained models. Moreover, our model achieves better average scores and greater diversity. Our experiments show that QGAE achieves significant improvements in generating question-answer pairs, making it a promising approach for question generation.
Psicología estética de la situación social
Authors: Fernández Christlieb Pablo
Published: August 2023

Falta en las ciencias de la sociedad una aproximación estética: hay una teoría física, una biológica, una económica y una política, pero falta una teoría estética de la sociedad. Lo estético no es el arte ni lo bello, sino aquello que tiene forma; cualquier cosa, una silla, una persona, una vida, una sociedad tienen forma cuando es vista como una unidad completa, independientemente de sus funciones y componentes, y cuando, además, uno mismo —el observador— o la propia teoría forman parte interior de ella. Las situaciones sociales son formas donde cabe gente: un grupo, un siglo, un lugar, una ciudad; son situaciones. La forma de las situaciones sociales es la de un ritmo, igual que el de la música o el de la vida: un ritmo es una tensión entre altibajos y vaivenes que se reitera y que avanza, pero que no se resuelve, sino que se intensifica; así es un baile y así es la sociedad. Lo estético es un modo de conocimiento que no se describe, porque no es discursivo, sino que se siente: es un conocimiento sensible, porque lo estético es afectivo. Su método no es la causalidad ni la cuantificación, sino la intuición, porque se basa en parecidos y en analogía y se expone mediante metáforas. No se mide, sino que se narra. Una psicología estética permite una aproximación diferente a la sociedad que es más intrínseca, que no separa lo físico y lo psíquico, ni lo individual y lo social. Por lo demás, vale la pena intentar una sociedad estética.
Analysis of Covid-19 Knowledge and Vaccine Acceptance Among Agricultural Extension Workers in Katsina State, Nigeria
Authors: M. Ibrahim , H.Y. Ibrahim , R.T. Abu
Published: August 2023

COVID-19 vaccines were developed for the prevention and control of COVID-19 globally and strong immunity will be developed if most of the world’s population accept and get vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine. However, vaccine hesitancy is a major threat to the control and prevention of COVID-19 in most countries especially the developing countries. The study was carried out to determine COVID-19 knowledge, risk perception and vaccine hesitancy among extension agents in Katsina State, North Central Nigeria. Due to insecurity, 23 local government areas in the state were purposively sampled across the three agricultural zones in the state. Furthermore, all the five village extension agents and one block extension supervisor in each LGA selected was considered to give a total of one hundred and thirty-eight (138) respondents for the study. Descriptive statistics such as percentage and mean, risk perception score, COVID-19 knowledge scale and a Logit regression model were used to achieve the study objectives. Results show that extension agents in Katsina State have a good knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccine and a high-risk perception towards COVID-19. However, due to trust and safety concerns, majority of the extension workers (73.2%) are still hesitant and yet to get a shot of the vaccine. The major determinants of COVID-19 acceptance include age of the extension worker, years of work experience and knowing a person infected by the virus. It can be concluded from the study that the older and more experienced extension workers can be used as a good starting point for launching a program aimed at reducing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among extension workers in Katsina State. The electronic media such as the Radio and Television should be used to produce jingles and skits for educating extension workers on the COVID-19 vaccine. Community and religious leaders should be empowered by the government to help clarify the misconceptions about vaccines that have pervaded communities especially in Northern Nigeria.

Published: August 2023

The "Cipolletti" Institute has launched, from the 2020-21 school year to today, in the summer months, the experience of the "School in the Green", located in a wood in the town of Banzano di Montoro (AV- Italy). It is a space equipped for the safety of kindergarten and primary school children, in which motor, artistic, and laboratory activities are carried out in English since the Institute is a bilingual school. The school, which has been using the "Embodied cognition" model for years, has intended to integrate "Embodied" learning, precisely "Embodied", with outdoor teaching, trying to develop, in parallel with scholastic intelligence, also naturalistic intelligence, and visual-spatial. Among the scientific assumptions is that of Waldpädagogik, of experiential pedagogy that values discovery learning. The project of the "School in the Green" was supervised by the Chair of Developmental and Educational Psychology of the Department of Medicine, Surgery, Dentistry "Scuola Medica Salernitana" of the University of Salerno (Italy), and the same Department sponsored the project. The activities carried out were: Study science directly through sensory experience in nature; Music and movement workshop with Orff instruments; Sensory and musical journey with handcrafted instruments; Motor paths and motor coordination to develop naturalistic intelligence and visual-spatial intelligence; Motor-sport activity in the greenery; Immersive learning of the English language; Peer tutoring for learning English; Small group activity in Spanish; Learning of less widespread languages with the 3D construction of morpho-phonemes (for example Korean, Portuguese); Theatrical activities in nature; Garden care; Workshop for flower arrangements; Outdoor cooking workshop¸local field trips. This short article reports the theoretical construct of reference and research to evaluate whether school learning activities benefit from being implemented in a naturalistic context.

Published: August 2023

刑法總則明文規定幫助犯乃運用區分制方案處理幫助犯問題之前提。區分制方案固然能解决部分定罪處罰問題，却有不少理論缺陷。我國刑法總則不規定幫助犯，只能按照單一制方案處理幫助犯問題。區分制方案無法妥當解决的定罪處罰問題，按照單一制方案解釋我國刑法規定便迎刃而解。單一制方案不會前移未遂犯範圍和不必要地擴張刑罰。對於我國司法實務中幫助犯問題，運用單一制方案處理比運用區分制方案處理明顯更爲優越。
Migración y género: las desigualdades que viven las mujeres inmigrantes latinoamericanas en el mercado de trabajo español. Una revisión de la literatura en España
Authors: Nava Cerball Raquel
Published: August 2023

En este artículo se realiza una revisión de la literatura académica que analiza la migración y el mercado de trabajo desde una perspectiva de género. Se identifican los principales aportes teóricos que han influenciado en la producción académica en el contexto español para identificar el uso de conceptos y categorías de análisis de la feminización de las migraciones, el mercado de trabajo y el género. Las desigualdades de género a nivel laboral se visualizan en España ya que las mujeres inmigrantes se ocupan principalmente de los ancianos y de los niños, careciendo de oportunidades de ascender a otros trabajos. En estos procesos y análisis de conceptos, hacemos la conexión con estos procesos donde se han reproducido desigualdades de género, clase y etnia. Por esta razón, se observa el gradual interés que ha existido por investigaciones que se centran sobre los colectivos latinoamericanos femeninos y, por supuesto, dentro de ellos a las migrantes bolivianas, que se han insertado en el sector del servicio doméstico en el mercado laboral español aunque aún exista una escasez de estudios que investiguen sobre otros tipos de inserción laboral y movilidad ocupacional como es el caso de las mujeres inmigrantes cualificadas.
Inhibición de enzimas fosfolipasas A2 de venenos totales de serpientes como estrategia en la búsqueda de nuevos fármacos
Authors: Barrera-Luna Geovanny , Cazar María-Elena
Published: August 2023

Introducción: Los fármacos antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINEs) son ampliamente utilizados para la terapia del dolor, a pesar de sus efectos secundarios que ocurren a nivel renal, estomacal y coagulatorio. Las fosfolipasas A2 (PLA2) presentes en los venenos de serpientes, abejas e incluso en el organismo humano, son responsables de varios procesos fisiológicos y patológicos. Las enzimas hidrolizan fosfolípidos de membrana liberando ácido araquidónico, un precursor de los eicosanoides pro-inflamatorios, los cuales originan mediadores de la inflamación. Objetivo: El propósito de este trabajo es revisar nuevas moléculas capaces de bloquear la escisión de los fosfolípidos de membrana por acción de las PLA2, evitando la formación de mediadores de inflamación. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de estudios publicados desde 2011 a 2021, que reportan compuestos con actividad inhibitoria frente a PLA2. El potencial de los estudios de relación estructura actividad se discute como estrategia para encontrar compuestos activos ante PLA2. Resultados: Se revisaron 26 estudios que incluyen compuestos naturales y sintéticos y se recopilaron 93 moléculas con actividad inhibitoria, destacando su potencial como inhibidores de PLA2. Conclusiones: La actividad inhibitoria de los compuestos revisados podría estar asociada a los patrones de sustitución en el anillo bencénico de las moléculas. La evaluación de características moleculares relevantes en la inhibición de PLA2 puede guiar a la identificación de candidatos para síntesis de nuevos inhibidores enzimáticos.

Introducción: El dengue se ha convertido en un problema serio de salud pública en Bolivia. Por la capacidad de infección del virus del dengue, el diagnóstico es amplio y varia con la evolución de la enfermedad. El incremento de la temperatura y las lluvias de la época son los factores ambientales principales para la reproducción del mosquito transmisor (Aedes aegipty), y el aumento de casos de dengue. Objetivos: Realizar un estudio transversal-retrospectivo de los casos de dengue en el departamento de La Paz - Bolivia, durante el periodo de enero de 2020 hasta febrero de 2023. Materiales y Métodos: De las bases obtenidas del Laboratorio de Virología- INLASA, se analizaron variables como el número de casos positivos de cada gestión, la distribución de los casos positivos según el lugar probable de infección tanto por departamento como por provincia, la variación temporal de los casos y el serotipo prevalente por gestión, y finalmente la distribución de casos positivos por género y grupo etario. Resultados: Durante las cuatro gestiones analizadas el número total de casos notificados fue de 2143, detectando 1184 (55.2%) positivos. Señalando como lugar probable de infección en gran parte al departamento de La Paz (86.3%), siendo la provincia de Sud Yungas y sus municipios La Asunta y Palos Blancos, lugares con más casos positivos. Con respecto a la variación temporal presentó un mismo comportamiento en tres gestiones, observándose un aumento de casos entre los meses de febrero y abril, coincidiendo con la temporada de lluvias en Bolivia. Prevaleció en tres gestiones el serotipo DENV 1 sobre DENV 2, observando un aumento de serotipo DENV 2 hasta febrero del 2023. Además, el grupo etáreo más afectado con dengue oscila entre los 10 a 39 años, no encontrando diferencia significativa entre género masculino y femenino. Conclusiones: Este estudio revela que el dengue es un problema de salud pública no solo del oriente del país sino también de las zonas tropicales del departamento de La Paz. Es necesario el diagnóstico rápido y efectivo; realizar la tipificación del virus y el llenado correcto de fichas epidemiológicas para un mejor control virológico.

Authors: Hanan Ahmed Alnakra  , Abdul Salam Othman Saleh  , Ibrahim Bouzid
Published: August 2023

Corrosion phenomena means to the deterioration of metallic materials due to chemical and electrochemical reactions, because these materials are always trying to reach a state of lower energy potential. Groundwater is vital and the sole resource in most of the studied region in the city of Alkufra. In this study, The main objectives of this research are to further broaden the mechanistic understanding of CO2 corrosion of mild steel in the presence of high concentrations of calcium ions and evaluate the protectiveness of CaCO3 scale against further corrosion. The values of these concentrations in the studied water samples indicate that they constitute a chemically suitable environment for corrosion and precipitation reactions, additionally, the pH values for the studied water samples ranged between (7. 25 - 7.37), temperature values ranged from 35 ℃ to 37℃ . (95.64 F0 to 98.6 F) respectively,it was found that the Aggressiveness coefficient ranged between (0.25 – (-1.3) and this indicates that the water in this region is highly corrosive, and the Ryzner coefficient ranges between (6.7 - 9.7), which indicates the water condition is the cause of corrosion. The Langelier coefficient index shows that the negative values ​​are the cause of the increase in wear rate values from( -2.73 to -0.89) .Our results show that the presence of calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate as a scaling environment increases the corrosion rates for carbon steel.

Published: August 2023

One of the common misconceptions affecting mathematics performance of high school students involves operating integers. Evidently, students who were exposed to modular learning demonstrate poor mastery of the pre-requisite skills. This study aimed to assess the mastery level and misconceptions of the Grade 7 students involving operations on integers. A descriptive research design was used with a total of sixty-two (62) conveniently chosen Grade 7 students were twenty-nine (29) were males and thirty-three (33) were females. The Mean Percentage Scores (MPS) per operation on integers were calculated to describe the mastery level and the assessment results were analyzed to identify possible misconceptions of the students in operating integers. Similarly, data were analyzed using the Welch t-Test to determine if there is a difference in the level of mastery between the male and female students. Findings show that the overall MPS result is 50.56%, indicating that the students demonstrated Average Near Mastery (AVR) of the concepts involving operations on integers. In addition, there was no significant difference between the mastery level of male and female grade 7 students. Although the students demonstrated Average Near Mastery (AVR) in the given assessment, the item analysis showed various misconceptions and errors exhibited by the students regardless of sex and section. Students’ misconceptions include subtracting integers and dealing with negative numbers. Hence, an intervention is needed to address the misconceptions in subtracting integers and a reinforcement is proposed to enhance the students’ mastery in other operations on integers.

Published: August 2023

Drought assessment is very important to manage water resources in lean period. In the present study, identification of drought years and extent of deficit of annual rainfall is accomplished by use of three meteorological based drought indices like the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration index (SPEI), China-Z index (CZI) and Modified China-Z index (MCZI) on 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 month (short term and long term) timescales using monthly precipitation and temperature data from 1901 to 2002 at Sabarkantha to specify the drought conditions in present study area. The analysis of multiple time steps in drought indices make it harder to decide the best time step to show the drought conditions. The months of January, March, November and December have been identified 76, 79, 77 and 80 times as drought months respectively in the 20th century, indicating that these months must be provided with assured Irrigation. It is observed that 1904, 1911, 1915, 1923, 1974, 1987 and 2002 affected by severe drought condition in SPEI-12. The China Z Index and Modified China Z index shows that’s 1904, 1911, 1915, 1918, 1923, 1948, 1951, 1965, 1968, 1969, 1972, 1974, 1985, 1987, 1991, 1995 and 2002 affected by extreme drought. The study also reveals that only 1% year obtain as extreme wet conditions. From result it shows that 23% years are categorised into moderate to extreme drought years, which includes 15% Moderate dry, 8% severe dry years.
Acute effects of different intensities of resistance training on blood glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol in young men
Authors: Candeloro Bruno Moreira , Chagas Eduardo Federighi Baisi
Published: August 2023

This study examined the acute effects of different intensities of resistance training on blood glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels in healthy young men. Twelve participants with prior resistance training experience were included, and they performed a one-repetition maximum (1RM) test to assess their maximal strength capacity. Four experimental sessions were conducted, targeting both the upper and lower body. Blood glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels were measured before and after each session. Statistical analysis revealed a significant decrease in blood glucose levels after resistance training with 5 and 10 repetitions. There were no significant differences in total cholesterol levels across different repetition intensities. However, triglyceride levels significantly decreased after all repetition intensities, with significant differences observed in the 15 and 20 repetitions. In conclusion, acute resistance training at different intensities has immediate effects on specific metabolic markers, such as blood glucose and triglycerides, in healthy young men.
