The development of technology at this time is so rapid, that it has given rise to many activities using technology, one of which is payment methods. Previously payment methods were made in cash, now payment methods can be made using a non-cash system. Many companies are developing non-cash payment applications which are also very popular, so the term digital payment or cashless has emerged to make transactions easier and faster. This research aims to find out the influence of digital payment service features on the convenience of consumers in making transactions in e-commerce. This type of research uses quantitative methods by collecting data using questionnaires to find respondents and testing using hypothesis testing using data analysis tools, namely IMB SPSS 26 software. This research uses a sample of 60 respondents. Sampling used purposive sampling and Roscoe’s theory technique with the characteristics of respondents being global institute students. The research results show that digital payment service features have a relationship (correlation). This can be seen in the value where the sig (2-tailed) value between the digital payment service feature (X1) and ease of transaction (Y) is 0.000 < 0.005, which means there is a significant correlation between the digital payment service feature variable and ease of transaction.

Introdução. Diante da crescente prevalência da diabetes nas últimas décadas, faz-se necessário desenvolver terapias capazes de reduzir suas complicações. Objetivo. Averiguar, através de uma revisão de escopo, a eficácia da vitamina B12 no tratamento da neuropatia diabética. Método. Para a formulação da pergunta norteadora do estudo, utilizou-se a estratégia PCC (População, Conceito, Contexto), a qual orientou a busca por artigos nas bases de dados BVS, Embase, Scopus e Web of Science. Os artigos foram selecionados de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, sendo posteriormente encaminhados para o processo de extração. Resultados. Foram selecionados cinco artigos, caracterizados como ensaios clínicos prospectivos, sendo três open-label e dois double-blind, visando investigar os benefícios e a eficácia isolada da metilcobalamina (vitamina B12) no tratamento e na melhora dos sintomas atrelados à neuropatia diabética. Todos evidenciaram seus efeitos benéficos para esse fim, mas houve divergência quanto aos parâmetros empregados para a determinação desses impactos. Uma melhoria na velocidade de condução dos nervos avaliados foi demonstrada por dois artigos, enquanto a diminuição da dor também foi atestada por dois artigos, apesar de um ter classificado tal redução como pouco expressiva. Ademais, dois artigos verificaram melhorias nos sintomas autonômicos pela administração da metilcobalamina. Por fim, houve discrepância entre os estudos quanto aos efeitos dessa terapia sobre o nervo sural. Conclusão. Esta revisão conclui que a suplementação de vitamina B12 é benéfica para o tratamento da neuropatia diabética, destacando-se, ainda, como uma alternativa segura, sem registros de efeitos adversos decorrentes dessa abordagem terapêutica.

Super strength and toughness, excellent deformation resistance, and high-temperature service performance are the key factors to determine the practical application of new thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). The limited mobility of dislocations and the internal inherent defects in ceramics will inevitably lead to the decline of strength–plasticity and the reduction of service performance. Introducing preexisting twin boundaries and stacking faults (SFs) or preparing ceramic materials with high configuration entropy has demonstrated to be an effective strategy for enhancing the mechanical properties of ceramics. However, due to the positive thermal expansion coefficient of most ceramics and the remarkable increase of structural disorder at elevated temperature, the problem of elastic softening has become a bottleneck restricting the high-temperature service life of new TBCs. In this paper, the deformation behavior of high configuration entropy Zr

Connecting mathematical concepts to real-life situations is a crucial skill in math class. Using mathematical literacy problems in classes may be an option to make connections with real life. In this context, the aim of this research is to reveal the experiences of preservice mathematics teachers in the process of writing mathematical literacy problems and to determine the difficulties they encountered. The participants of the research were 28 preservice teachers who were taking the mathematical literacy elective course in the 2022-2023 spring semester. In this qualitative research design, preservice teachers were provided with essential theoretical information on mathematical literacy over nine-weeks. They were then presented with mathematical literacy questions and their analyses were conducted. Following five weeks, participants worked in groups of 3-4 individuals, each group creating four mathematical literacy problems relating various content areas. At the end of their studies, in order to determine their experience regarding problem posing process, preservice teachers were given a survey consisting of open-ended questions. As a result of the analysis of the data obtained from the survey, it was seen that the issues in which the preservice mathematics teachers found themselves inadequate were more than the issues in which they found themselves competent. It was observed that participants focused on choosing context and writing the problem in accordance with the real life. While one group found themselves very competent in this regard, the other group found themselves quite inadequate. In addition, preservice teachers thought that they needed to examine more mathematical literacy questions and made writing attempts in order to pose qualified mathematical literacy problems.

Authors: Seyhan Sinan , Dinc Nurten
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Ramadan-intermittent fasting and different times of the day on the physical parameters of taekwondo athletes. A total of 15 professional Taekwondo athletes, 8 male and 7 female, participated in the study. Performance tests were performed one week before Ramadan (BR), the second week of Ramadan (SWR) and the end of the fourth week of Ramadan (ER) at 07:00 and 17:00. The descriptive statistics of the participants were as follows: mean age 21.131.90 years, height 169.53±8.64, weight 64.80±18.48 in BR and 62.33±16.91 in ER. Speed (30m), agility (hexagon), lower extremity flexibility (hip flexion angle=ROM), and vertical jump strength (counter movement jump=CMJ) performance determination tests were performed. Goniometer was used for lower extremity flexibility measurement and My Jump2 application, which has been proven to be valid and reliable, was used for CMJ performances. The data obtained were evaluated in the statistical package programme (SPSS) at a significance level of 0.05 using parametric (independent t-test) for agility and nonparametric (Mann-Whitney U) test for other tests according to normality test. It was observed that morning and evening hours of different days had no significant effect on speed, agility, flexibility and jumping force values (p>.05), agility test data differed only before and after Ramadan and this difference was in favour of after Ramadan. At the same time, it was observed that the values obtained from the agility test were higher in the morning before Ramadan (11.20 sec) and in the evening before Ramadan (11.28 sec) than in the evening after Ramadan (10.06 sec). As a result, we can say that long-term malnutrition of athletes does not have a positive or negative effect on many performance characteristics. It is thought that learning the findings obtained in this study and future studies by the coaches may provide important contributions to the coaches to prepare and organise more appropriate training programmes for the athletes.

Published: July 2024

Blood glucose concentration in certain situations affects current mental status. Anxiety occurring during hunger or lack of concentration associated with hypoglycemia are well-known phenomenon. Variations of glucose levels may also present a long-term impact on mental status and mental health. Moreover, impaired mental status leads to neglecting health-promoting life choices in some individuals, while psychiatric disorders may contribute much more to the development of metabolic diseases. Aims: The aim of this review is to assess the current state of knowledge about the bidirectional interaction of blood glucose levels, including its fluctuations and management, and mental status. Methods: In our publication we used scientific sources such as publications and textbooks. Results: Studies show the most significant correlation between diabetes and psychiatric disorders, mostly depression, but also indicate that healthy individuals may present a correlation of metabolic and mental disorders. Diabetic patients are more prone to develop psychiatric disorders, but also psychiatric patients are more commonly affected by diabetes mellitus. Moreover, those suffering from both diseases show the highest risk of overall mortality. Inflammatory pathology of both diabetes and depression, which is the most common psychiatric disorder in diabetic patients, suggests that chronic inflammation may play the main role in this relationship. Conclusion: Analyzing different risk factors of comorbidity, the significance of reversible ones is indisputable. Taking that into account, some lifestyle changes may be beneficial for metabolic and mental disorders prevention. Further studies could indicate certain pathological relationships and help understand the correlation between blood glucose and mental state in healthy individuals.

Authors: Nuwagaba Geoffrey , Tusubira Nyende Festo , Namanya David
Published: July 2024

Micro, Small, and Medium-scale Enterprises (MSMEs) play a significant role in fostering employment, innovation, productivity, and wealth creation, all of which contribute to the country's growth in Uganda. However, the majority of these enterprises rarely survive to turn five years old, while others and others persistently fall behind sustainable growth trends in terms of sales turnover, profitability, employee numbers, and total assets due to financial constraints. Despite this position, not much empirical research has been sustainable growth of these businesses. This study set out to develop an ideal financing framework for supporting the sustainable growth of Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in Uganda. Utilising a quantitative cross-sectional descriptive survey design, the study considered 400 MSMEs from major regional urban centres and municipalities. Data were collected using a researcher-administered structured questionnaire, while descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse in its analysis. The relationship between the variables was ascertained using Pearson correlation coefficients. According to the findings, asset-based financing, grants, equity financing, crowdsourcing, and credit guarantees were positively and significantly correlated with the sustainable growth of MSMEs. The study also found a statistically significant negative correlation between traditional bank loans and MSMEs' ability to grow sustainably. According to the study's findings, using more alternative forms of funding such as asset-based financing, equity financing, crowdfunding, credit guarantees and grants would help MSMEs grow more sustainably, whereas using more traditional bank loans would hinder this growth. Thus, asset-based financing, crowdsourcing, equity financing, credit guarantees, and grants constitute the ideal financing framework that MSMEs can adopt to fund their operations and promote their sustainable growth. For this reason, the study was significant in offering an ideal financing framework to improve MSMEs' sustainable growth.

Authors: Keh Chia-Guan , Tan Yan-Teng , Tang Siu-Eng , Gan Pei-Tha
Published: July 2024

A remarkable feature of empirical investigations on the renewable energy effect on carbon dioxide is that not many studies reveal the distinct levels of institutional development; in other words, the precise alignment of institutions in mediating the influence of renewable energy on carbon dioxide emissions. To overcome this shortcoming, this paper examines the role of institutions in mediating the influence of renewable energy on carbon dioxide emissions. Forty-six selected countries are included in this study. The data are collected yearly from 1998 to 2019. Using the dynamic panel threshold methods, the results show a threshold effect in the relationship between renewable energy and carbon dioxide emissions; renewable energy impacts carbon dioxide emissions after institutional development attained a certain threshold level. The findings suggest that strong institutions may promote the nexus between renewable energy and carbon dioxide emissions and that policymaker supports the functioning of renewable energy in hindering long-run CO2 emissions intensity.

The disparity in sentencing in cases of criminal acts of corruption by public officials is caused by differences in sentences in equally serious cases, namely corruption committed by public officials. The existence of high inequality in sentencing can affect people's judgments as a form of injustice. The aim of this research is to examine how positive law regulates disparities in sentencing in judges' decisions and how public officials who commit corruption crimes are punished. This research is included in the category of normative legal research, where the data used consists of secondary sources such as legal texts including laws and regulations, court decisions, and legal journals. The research was carried out through the use of statutory methods combined with a theoretical framework and secondary data, namely legal materials. The research findings show that arrangements relating to the criminal prosecution of public officials who practice corruption can be found in Article 13 paragraph (1) of Perma Number 1 of 2020 which relates to the Guidelines for Punishment Articles 2 and 3 of the Corruption Eradication Law. However, the regulation of disparities in the Supreme Court Regulations has not been a solution in reducing disparities. It requires absolute alignment of sentencing goals so that the crimes committed with the crimes obtained can reflect the values of justice. So that disparities can be used only to burden criminal prosecution in corruption cases by public officials.

One of ways that can be done by Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) to improve their branding is by creating a logo. Logos can identify what products or services are produced by the enterprise, logos also differentiate one company from another, as well as one product from another. The business partner in this community service is Prima Mushroom which is owned by Ms. Teti Indrawati, located in Palembang City, South Sumatra Province. Initially the business partners had not built a good business identity where the partners already had a business name, but there was no logo that became the identity of this business. In addition, at the partner's business location there is no banner informing the name of the business. So this product is difficult to recognize by consumers. Therefore, the purpose of this community service activity is to design Prima Mushroom logo design and apply this logo to the business name information banner as a business branding strategy. The method used is to first socialize and discuss with partners regarding the problems faced, then solve the problems by providing alternative logo designs for business branding strategies.
