Authors: K Ghani Erlane , Ilias Azleen , Muhammad Kamaruzzaman , Mohd Razali Fazlida
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study explores the possibility of applying the definition of “government business entity” (GBE) to construct the definition of “commercial public sector entity” (CPSE) based on the characteristics of GBE. Comparison was made between the characteristics of GBE in nine countries, namely the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. This is followed by identification of the issues related to the definitions and characteristics of GBE and the challenges faced by the Accountant General's Department of Malaysia (AGD) in developing the definition of CPSE. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: This study utilised the content analysis of the documents, such as accounting standards and articles related to commercial public entities. A qualitative approach was employed by conducting interviews with public sector accountants who are directly involved with the accounting standard's implementation in AGD. Findings: The results recorded similar and different characteristics constituting the definitions of GBE adopted in nine countries. In the application of the GBE definition to construct the definition of CPSE, four main issues were identified: diversity of definition, spectrum of entities, government funding, and rules and regulations of financial reporting. This was followed by several other challenges, including the non-reliance solely on the GBE definition, substance over form, purpose of establishment, and jurisdiction of the federal government and existing acts. Research Limitations/ Implications: It was implied in this study that GBE’s definition should be revisited to resolve specific issues before constructing the definition of CPSE. Practical Implications: It was indicated from the results of CPSE in a Malaysian context that may be developed after considering the issues that may arise due to accounting and financial reporting practises. Originality/ Value: This study is the first attempt towards constructing a definition for CPSE. Keywords: GBE, CPSE, definition, spectrum of entity, government funding, rules and regulation of financial reporting, Malaysia.

Authors: GÜVEN Oya , DEMİRELLER Merve , KURT Bedriye Feyza , YEŞİL Ömer
Published: December 2023

Objective: The COVID-19 epidemic, which affected the whole world, also affected judicial events. This study will examine how the forensic cases that applied to the emergency service were affected by the epidemic.

Material and Methods: In this study, the files of all patients whose forensic records were opened in the Emergency Service between 2019 and 2022 were retrospectively scanned. Patient applications were classified according to March 2020, when our country's first COVID-19 case was seen. They were divided into 3 groups: pre-pandemic, pandemic and post-pandemic period, and the data obtained were compared within themselves.

Results: The files of 20,781 patients on the specified dates were reviewed. 83.4% of the patients were male. 16.6% were foreign nationals. It was observed that the highest rate was during the pandemic period (35.7%) and patients who applied for forensic examination (83.8%). It was determined that most of the patients were discharged from the emergency department (98.1%), and most inpatients were followed up in the surgery services (0.6%). It was determined that forensic applications were at the lowest level after the declaration of a pandemic, and in the post-pandemic period, they exceeded the pre-pandemic level.

Conclusion: It is seen that the flow of forensic cases to emergency department does not decrease even in pandemics. Since most forensic cases have a traumatic process, emergency department applications can guide the number, character, and prognosis of forensic cases. In another pandemic, forensic events can be controlled.

Published: December 2023

The government encourages the development of waste management by utilizing waste as a new renewable energy source through waste to energy technology as an effort to overcome the increasing volume of waste and the dependence of electricity production from new coal mineral resources. This study aims to explain how much waste-based renewable energy potential in Palopo can produce through landfill gas. The research method uses the LandGem-v302 tool to calculate landfill gas production, calculate the economic feasibility value using the investment criteria net present value, internal rate of return, benefit cost ratio and payback period. The results of the LandGem-v302 test with projected data for 2024-2030 show that the volume of waste at the Mancani landfill has the potential to produce landfill gas and methane gas to produce renewable energy for approximately 80 years of production from 2025-2110. The economic value feasibility test also shows that the economic value of waste based EBT can be categorized as feasible. Thus, the projection of waste in Palopo City in 2024-2030 has the potential to produce renewable energy and is worth investing in for long-term development in Palopo.
Online Impulsive Buying Behavior (OIBB) Influenced by Hedonism, Re-source Availability, and Shopping Convenience Moderated by the Ease of Using Digital Payment Methods
Authors: Dhewayanti Elisabeth Krisna , Dahlan Kandi Sofia
Published: December 2023

This research focuses on the influence of hedonism, resource availability, and shopping convenience online impulsive buying behavior (OIBB), moderated by ease of use of digital payment methods. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires to 356 respondents online. 340 respondents were selected to be the sample because they fit the specified respondent criteria. The data obtained was analyzed using the PLS-SEM method and processed using SmartPLS software version 4.0. This research shows that hedonism and the convenience of shopping directly positively and significantly influence online impulsive buying behavior. Meanwhile, the availability of resources (money) does not significantly influence online impulsive buying behavior. In the moderation relationship, ease of use of e-wallets strengthens the relationship between hedonism and online impulsive buying behavior. Still, it can decrease the relationship between shopping convenience and online impulsive buying behavior. Meanwhile, the ease of use of e-wallets does not influence the relationship between the availability of funds and online impulsive buying behavior.

Authors: Fan Caiwei , Gao Yongde , Hu Yitao , Liao Maolin , Wu Jinbo , Chen Chen
Published: December 2023

To meet the requirements of rapid measurement of oil and gas methane isotopes in offshore logging platforms, a methane carbon isotope measurement system based on mid-infrared TDLAS technology was proposed in this paper. The measuring system adopted a mid-infrared compact-linear optical structure, including an interband cascade laser (central wavelength at 2963.25 cm-1), long optical path multi-pass cell (effective optical path is 24 m) and mercury cadmium telluride detector (response wavelength is from 2 μm to 5 μm). Combining two 13CH4/12CH4 absorption lines, 2963.25 cm-1 and 2963.34 cm-1, with a high precision temperature control system using an integral separation PID control method, a temperature fluctuation within 100 mK can be achieved. In the experiment, CH4 gases with five different concentrations were configured to calibrate the measurement system, and the response linearity was more than 99%. When the integration time is 121s, the precision of isotope measurement was as low as 0.83 ‰. The average isotopic abundance of methane gas measured by the system was -10.2 ‰, and the error fluctuation was about ±0.5 ‰. It was verified that the system can rapidly measure oil and gas methane isotopes.

WIND TURBINE FAULT MODELING AND CLASSIFICATION USING CUCKOO-OPTIMIZED MODULAR NEURAL NETWORKS
Authors: PONNUSWAMY BABU , COLUMBUS CHRISTOPHER , LAKSHMI SREE RATHNA , CHITHAMBARAM JEYANTHI
Published: December 2023

The wind turbine is rapidly becoming one of the world's most significant renewable energy sources. Wind turbines must be massive to increase amounts of electrical energy. The blades of a wind turbine are commonly made of fiber materials due to their low cost and low weight properties. However, blades are affected by gusts of wind, poor climate factors, uncertain wind loads, lightning storms, and gravity loads, resulting in a surface crack of the blade. As a result, it is important to monitor the state of each wind turbine and its location fault condition. In this research, a cuckoo-optimized modular neural network (COMNN) is proposed for detecting and classifying a crack in the blades of a wind turbine. The method is created using a piezoelectric accelerometer to calculate the blade vibration response when it is energized. Cuckoo optimization is applied to initialize and adjust the weight vector of the Modular Neural Network. The experimental result shows the COMNN accurately detects and classifies faults in an acceptable time. The proposed approaches classify the fault type with an accuracy 98.1 % higher than the existing techniques, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), and artificial neural network ANN + support vector machine (SVM) algorithms.

La nueva realidad de la educación ante los avances de la inteligencia artificial generativa
Authors: García Peñalvo Francisco José , Llorens-Largo Faraón , Vidal Javier
Published: December 2023

Cada vez es más común interactuar con productos que parecen “inteligentes”, aunque quizás la etiqueta “inteligencia artificial” haya sido sustituida por otros eufemismos. Desde noviembre de 2022, con la aparición de la herramienta ChatGPT, ha habido un aumento exponencial en el uso de la inteligencia artificial en todos los ámbitos. Aunque ChatGPT es solo una de las muchas tecnologías generativas de inteligencia artificial, su impacto en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje ha sido notable. Este artículo reflexiona sobre las ventajas, inconvenientes, potencialidades, límites y retos de las tecnologías generativas de inteligencia artificial en educación, con el objetivo de evitar los sesgos propios de las posiciones extremistas. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo una revisión sistemática tanto de las herramientas como de la producción científica que ha surgido en los seis primeros meses desde la aparición de ChatGPT. La inteligencia artificial generativa es extremadamente potente y mejora a un ritmo acelerado, pero se basa en lenguajes de modelo de gran tamaño con una base probabilística, lo que significa que no tienen capacidad de razonamiento ni de comprensión y, por tanto, son susceptibles de contener fallos que necesitan ser contrastados. Por otro lado, muchos de los problemas asociados con estas tecnologías en contextos educativos ya existían antes de su aparición, pero ahora, debido a su potencia, no podemos ignorarlos solo queda asumir cuál será nuestra velocidad de respuesta para analizar e incorporar estas herramientas a nuestra práctica docente.
Abrasive rights - The scope and limitations of religious autonomy
Authors: Petri Dennis P.
Published: December 2023

Freedom of Religion or Belief, or FoRB, provides for autonomy of religious communities, including freedom to organise themselves, to train their leadership, and to educate their members, without government interference. Tensions between the tenets of the religious community and the wider society are inevitable. In this article, we justify religious autonomy through three lenses: transactional, traditional FoRB, and minorities. If people are free to join and leave the community, religious autonomy should prevail. We then analyse European cases that illustrate the tension between religious autonomy and non-discrimination.
Atheism in judicial discourse - An analysis of the Italian constitutional scenario
Authors: Madera Adelaide
Published: December 2023

Starting from an analysis of the Italian model of church-state relationships, the present paper focuses on the status of atheistic convictions in Italy. Since the 1990s, where the Union of Atheist and Rationalist Agnostics claimed its right to start negotiations to enter into an agreement with the State, Italian courts have faced the crucial issue of the legal definition of a religious denomination. The decision of the Constitutional Court no. 52/2016 has been the final result of a lengthy and troubled process. The paper will explore the coherence of the decision with the Italian Constitutional framework, with the ECHR and with article 17 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Finally, the paper will investigate on the option of enforcing an updated law regulating religious freedom and its predictable impact on non-religious communities.

Performar Nietzsche: a autoetnografia como caminho metodológico aplicado ao processo criativo de Adeuzará
Authors: Acácio Leandro Geraldo da Silva
Published: December 2023

Este artigo discorre acerca do processo criativo interdisciplinar do coletivo de arte ADEUZARÁ (Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais) a partir de uma pesquisa sobre a vida e a obra do filósofo alemão Friedrich Nietzsche. O trabalho foi originalmente apresentado como tese de doutoramento no Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos de Linguagens (POSLING) do CEFET-MG. ADEUZARÁ elegeu “Assim Falou Zaratustra: um Livro para Todos e para Ninguém” como mote principal do estudo e da criação artística do coletivo. Desenvolvido entre 2013 e 2017, ADEUZARÁ articulou diversas linguagens em sua poética, desdobrando-se em produção e criação de arte performativa de rua, transmissões radiofônicas e uma instalação cênico-sonora. O estudo foi desenvolvido a partir de pesquisa documental, utilizando a metodologia de autoetnografia. O autor parte da vivência como cocriador no coletivo para, depois, escrever sobre sua experiência durante o processo. Para tanto, foi realizada uma apreciação da expressão criativa dessa poética: diários de bordo, registros audiovisuais, entrevistas com cocriadores e parceiros envolvidos no processo. O artigo faz um recorte do movimento criativo de ADEUZARÁ e aborda a concepção da instalação cênico-sonora GRIETZSCHE, apontando o método autoetnográfico como um caminho possível para a pesquisa em arte, sobretudo, em relação à pesquisa artística no âmbito acadêmico. Dentre as conclusões do estudo, este trabalho destaca como a arte performativa de rua propicia outros modos de ver, ser, estar, ocupar e conviver na e com a cidade. Quanto à instalação cênico-sonora, enfatiza-se o papel da intermidialidade como processo, sendo que o evento não tem caráter de obra/produto, e sim de acontecimento transitório e fugaz.

Published: December 2023

Teaching language in this global era demands mostly the creativity of the teachers, this is because in 21th century, students need to be critical thinkers, creative, communicative and collaborative. Therefore, the creativity of the teacher is manifested by evaluating the multiple resources and adapting or adopting them based on the contextualized learning situation including individual differences, styles and learners needs. It is also essential for the teacher to integrate the four macro skills in teaching language in order to make the students more communicative and collaborative. Hence, this paper presents the evaluation of the language teaching resources before and during applying them to the classroom contexts. The data were collected by document review and interview with the secondary school teacher. The data were analyzed qualitatively through interactive model. There is variation of the results based on the techniques of data collection. The interview shows that theoretically the teacher is creative to make the materials for students. Meanwhile, the document review findings show that there is a need of improvement on the way to evaluate and use the English materials based on the context. Finally, in evaluating the textbooks in order to adopt or adapt by adding or removing some materials to make English textbooks match with students’ contexts.

Actualization of Contemporary Islamic Education Concepts: A Study of the Thoughts of Sayyid Naquib Al-Attas and Buya Hamka
Authors: Noer Syaifudin
Published: December 2023

The crisis of Islamic education, along with other pressing issues, has long been apparent within the Islamic world. According to Al-Faruqi, the education sector is suspected to be experiencing the worst crisis. This should not happen because the spirit of renewal in Islam should not only touch upon political, military, and economic aspects but should also be more focused on education. This type of research is a literature review, utilizing a factual-historical approach concerning prominent figures. Through several efforts, this research concludes that what has been formulated by Al-Attas and Hamka, particularly regarding education, is their intellectual jihad to realize an ideal Islamic education system. This system is based on moral, spiritual, and religious values. The orientation and values of Islamic education fundamentally lie in the harmony and balance of the complete individual, encompassing both the physical and spiritual aspects of human beings. Similarly, when viewed in terms of the human function as the servant of Allah ('abd Allah), symbolizing the vertical dimension, and as the vicegerent on earth (khalifah fi al-ard), symbolizing the horizontal dimension.
Migration, Remittance and Poverty Dynamics in Rural India: Evidence from Longitudinal Survey
Authors: Nupur Shreya , Dutta Meghna
Published: December 2023

As rural poverty continues to pose fundamental challenges in the development process, this study aims to examine the role of remittance in influencing poverty dynamics among rural households. For this, we employed instrumental variable technique and utilized longitudinal data of India Human Development Survey. After correcting for endogeneity bias results obtained from our econometric analysis reinforce the urgent need to focus on poverty transition in rural households and highlight the positive and significant role of the amount and frequency of remittances in alleviating poverty. Additionally, access to credit, government subsidies, and educational attainment substantially improves rural households’ economic condition and helps them to escape poverty. Education can be a magical tool to deal with poverty, so there is need to restore the quality of education in rural areas. Thus, in order to achieve poverty elimination goal, there is a need to integrate migration and poverty while considering policy measures. Given the importance of amount and frequency of remittances in poor households, it is imperative from policy perspective to focus upon the channels of smoothing the flow of external finance and make it more sustainable.

And the Court’s answer is yes, following in the footsteps of the Advocate General’s opinion on the case. Rendered on 7 December, this ruling was eagerly awaited as it was the first time the Court had the opportunity to interpret the notorious Article 22 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) prohibiting decisions “based solely on automated processing".

الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على أشرف المرسلين سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلى آله وصحبه ومن تبعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين وبعد: فإن الاشتغال بحديث رسول اللہ صلى الله عليه وسلم عبادة شريفة، ووسيلة سامية لنيل رضى الله تبارك وتعالى، وذلك لأهمية سنته المشرفة سنته المشرفة صلى الله عليه وسلم في البيـان عـن رب العالمين، وأثرهـا الواضح في اكتساب المعرفة عبر أقواله وأفعاله وتقريراته وصفاته، التي نقلها المخلصـون حملة هذا العلم العظيم جيلا بعد جيل. غير أن الزمان قد تطاول، والعهد قد بعد، فضعفت الهمـم عـن الحفظ واختلطت الثقافات حتى صار علم الحديث النبوي الشريف غريبا بين أهله، يحتاج إلى من يعرفهم به لاسيما في بلادنا، فإن علم الحديث لم يأخذ حظه من الانتشار فيها، لذلك أصبحت الحاجة ملحة إلى معرفة مصطلحاته ومناهجه ليأخذ مكانه بين العلوم الشرعية الأخرى. وأبو عيسى الترمذي أحد العلماء العدول الـذين بذلوا جهودا ضخمة في سبيل حفظ حديث رسول اللہ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فنفى عنه تحريف الغالين، وانتحال المبطلين، وصانه من كل نقص وعيب، وحمله في قلبه قبل أن يحمله في دفاتره وكراريسه، وجاب به البلاد طـولا وعرضا، وركب من أجله متون الأخطار، وفارق في سبيله الأهل والأوطان، حتى أدخله

(التكنولوجيا) كلمة يونانية الأصل. ويقصد بهـا فـن أو صناعة، كما يقصد بهـا أيضا (الدراية العلمية). وقد اتسع استخدامها إثر التطورات العلمية المتلاحقة والتوسع في دائرة العلوم والمعارف. بيد أن شيوع مصطلح التكنولوجيا وذيوع استخدامه لا يعني وضوح مفهومه ومعناه، إذ لا يزال الغموض يكتنف مضمونه. ويؤكـد هـذا التصـور كثـرة التعريفات التي طرحت لبيان مدلوله(1). ولعل التعريف الأكثر موضوعية في هـذا الصـدد هو تعريف التكنولوجيا بأنها « مجموعـة المعارف المستخدمة في إنتاج السلع والخدمات وفي خلق سلع جديدة »(2).وأياً كان الأمر فان التكنولوجيا تعد إحدى المقومات الرئيسة اللازمة لنجاح عملية التنمية الاقتصادية والاجتماعية. إذ إنها تتضمن تطويع المعرفة الفنية والعلمية واستخدامها على نحو رشيد ومنظم في العملية الإنتاجية. فهي إذا عامل أساسي مـن عوامل التقدم الفني والمادي للدول المختلفة، حيث إنها تؤدي إلى الارتقاء بقـوى الإنسان

Sustainable of HRM System and Strategies for Corporate Sustainability
Authors: Sajib Touhidur Rahman , Islam Md Jahidul , Gowindasamy Maniyarsi
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This abstract discusses the goal of improving connections between organizations and stakeholders through sustainable human resource management (HRM) practices that balance financial success with corporate sustainability across social, human, and environmental dimensions. Design and Methodology: Operationalizing sustainable HRM involves bundling pro-financial, social/human, and environmental qualities into suggested HRM practices and synergizing them to produce integrated sustainability outcomes. Understanding the differences between control-oriented, commitment-based, and sustainable HRM systems allows organizations to tailor practices to sustainability goals. Findings: Eco-friendly HRM practices like environmental management systems can integrate sustainability into core competencies. Further research on effective HRM practices bundles is needed to grasp how to achieve optimum corporate sustainability fully. Practical Implications: Sustainable HRM is crucial for meeting social, human and environmental targets; financial and productivity goals will suffer without effectively implementing such HRM practices. Businesses must focus on sustainable HRM to connect with stakeholders while being financially successful across sustainability’s triple bottom line – social, human, and environmental aspects.
Musical Borrowings in Songs about the Holocaust by the Jews of Greece
Authors: Scarlatos Chryssie
Published: December 2023

This article deals with songs about the Holocaust. Most of these songs have remained almost unknown until today, and this article aims to bring them out and to highlight the fact that they serve as evidence to the sufferings of the Greek people during World War II. All songs were written in Greece, and the practice of contrafactum (borrowing melodies and changing the lyrics) was applied to all of them. The borrowed melodies originate from Western music (e.g., operas), Western and Greek popular songs of the time, and from Greek folk and urban folk music. The variety of musical borrowings reveals cultural interactions between the ethnic and religious groups of the Greek land. It is also indicative of the increasing role of the mass media (radio, cinema) at that time. The lyrics of the songs are usually written in Greek and, in some cases, in Ladino (Judeo-Spanish of the Eastern Mediterranean area). Apart from having musicological interest, the songs are also important from the historical point of view. They were written either before the transportations to the extermination camps, or in the camps, or after the Holocaust. Their lyrics depict aspects of the living conditions of Jews during World War II. Moreover, these songs acted as a way of expressing feelings and thoughts.

In light of Nigeria’s high inflationary environment characterized by rising commodity prices and a growing public debt, this study aims to examine fiscal dominance hypothesis in Nigeria. Specifically, we investigate whether the borrowing activities of the fiscal authorities impede the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in achieving price stability. To conduct this analysis, we utilize annual data on the budget deficit as a percentage of gross domestic product and the change in monetary base, covering the period from 1981 to 2022. The data for these variables were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) official website and Statistical Bulletin. Our empirical analysis employs econometric methods, including unit root tests and the Toda and Yamamoto (T-Y) Granger non-causality approach. The results from our Granger causality test reveal the presence of bidirectional causality between the budget deficit and the growth of the monetary base, thereby violating the conditions for fiscal dominance. These findings suggest that the pursuit of price stability objectives by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is not constrained by the government's borrowing activities. Consequently, conventional policy tools can be effectively utilized to address inflationary pressures without compromising the government's ability to service its debt obligations. Overall, our study provides evidence that fiscal dominance does not appear to be a significant concern in Nigeria. This implies that policymakers can focus on implementing appropriate monetary policy measures to combat inflation, while ensuring that government borrowing activities do not hinder the achievement of price stability. Keywords: Fiscal Dominance, Budget Deficits, Monetary Base, Inflation
