Strategic Drivers of Sustainable Financial Performance: A Legitimacy Theory Perspective on Aligning Strategy with Sustainability and Profitability
Authors: Mohammed Ahmad Ali Abu Safiyeh , Ahmad Zeshan , Mustamil Norizah
Published: February 2025

This study aims to investigate how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities impact the sustainable financial performance of listed companies in Palestine, with a mediating role of frugal innovation and innovation ambidexterity. A cross-sectional research design was employed to collect the primary data from 178 respondents: CEOs, CFOs, and finance managers of listed companies in Palestine. This study implemented PLS-SEM by using Smart-PLS software. The present study revealed that CSR activities positively correlate with sustainable financial performance. Innovation ambidexterity mediates, but frugal innovation does not mediate, between CSR activities and the sustainable financial performance of listed companies in Palestine. Listed companies in conflicted zones can amplify the effect of CSR initiatives on sustainable financial performance through innovative activities. The study, grounded in legitimacy theory, shows that aligning CSR with societal expectations enhances financial sustainability, with innovation ambidexterity reinforcing this legitimacy. However, more than frugal innovation is required to maintain legitimacy with broader stakeholder alignment. This study broadens the boundary of knowledge by examining the effect of CSR activities, frugal innovation, innovation ambidexterity, and their interplay on the sustainable financial performance of listed companies in Palestine through legitimacy theory.
Effects of Law Enforcement and Risk Perception on COVID-19 Fake News Sharing Behavior among Malaysian Social Media Users
Authors: Omar Bahiyah , Zulkipli Noor Zuleika , Mustafa Hasrina , Ismail Aziah
Published: February 2025

Malaysia faces many delicate issues concerning race and religion, as well as political disputes that fuel fake news proliferation on social media. The government resorts to laws and regulations, namely the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588) and the Penal Code (Act 574), to fight fake news in Malaysia. Nevertheless, there is limited knowledge of the effectiveness of law enforcement in combating the spread of fake news in the country. This study investigates the effects of the perceived effectiveness of law enforcement and the perceived risk of fake news on fake news sharing of COVID-19 issues to fill this void. This study tested the relationships using multiple regression analysis using survey data from 394 social media users. The findings revealed a significant effect of perceived risk on fake news-sharing behaviour, and younger and less educated people tended to share fake news on social media. Effects of law enforcement effectiveness, however, were found insignificant. The findings underscore the importance of educating the public on the risks of fake news as a sustainable measure to curtail the spread in the Malaysian context.

Authors: Rodriguez-Navarro Pablo , Ruggieri Andrea , Gil-Piqueras Teresa
Published: February 2025

Entre las diferentes tipologías de vivienda popular que se pueden encontrar en España, encontramos el caso peculiar de las casas cueva. En la Comunidad Valenciana, las encontramos en Paterna, Godella, Rocafort, Moncada, Bétera, Ribarroja y Villamarchante. A mediados del siglo XIX la población de las cuevas llega a números relevantes, y hoy en día constituyen una importante tipología de patrimonio arquitectónico local. El caso de estudio se puede enmarcar en el campo más amplio del Patrimonio Construido Subterráneo (‘Underground Built Heritage’, UBH), teniendo así en cuenta los aspectos, factores y cuestiones que pueden tener influencia a la hora de plantear estrategias y herramientas a utilizar en la fase de toma de datos. El presente articulo presenta las metodologías y los flujos de trabajo utilizados en el levantamiento digital con escáner laser terrestre, tras la comparación con metodologías utilizadas en esta tipología de patrimonio, y la posterior elaboración gráfica de los planos arquitectónicos necesarios, llevado a cabo sobre un caso de estudio, las casas cuevas de Bétera. Explotando plenamente la tecnología ‘Visual Inertial System’ (VIS) integrada en la herramienta utilizada, se alcanzó una cobertura óptima del caso de estudio, manteniendo al mismo tiempo un alto nivel de eficiencia en el proceso de levantamiento del patrimonio. La documentación digital obtenida es sin duda la herramienta fundamental para el conocimiento y la conservación de un patrimonio en estado de semi abandono: solo unas cuevas están en uso hoy en día, y la mayoría de ellas presentan un estado de daño importante. A partir del proceso de levantamiento, se analizan las cuestiones metodológicas peculiares de la tipología del caso de estudio –es decir una arquitectura subterránea en un entorno urbano– que intervienen a la hora de redactar un proyecto de levantamiento, teniendo también en cuenta aspectos relativos a la definición de estándares para el levantamiento. Se proponen además metodologías computacionales que a través la implementación de una definición algorítmica –reutilizable para casos parecidos– nos ayudan a profundizar ulteriormente el nivel de conocimiento del objeto de estudio en una óptica más amplia de automatización de procesos y enriquecimiento informativo de los modelos construidos. Los resultados obtenidos representan un importante testimonio de una relevante tipología de patrimonio arquitectónico local, así como un punto de partida para ulteriores análisis sobre la optimización del proceso de levantamiento en este escenario peculiar.
Development of the Occupational Justice Scale for Refugees and Investigation of Its Psychometric Properties
Authors: Yazici Muhammed Rohat , Akyurek Gokcen
Published: February 2025

Importance: Although occupational justice is an important construct for occupational therapy, the Occupational Justice Scale for Refugees (OJS–R) is, to our knowledge, the first of such scales developed in this field.

Objective: To develop an occupational justice scale designed specifically for refugees and to evaluate its psychometric properties.

Design: This study was conducted as face-to-face interviews and self-report surveys with refugees. The Davis technique was applied twice to 12 expert panelists, and the test form was administered to 603 individuals. Item analysis was conducted to evaluate the internal consistency of the scale. An exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were also performed to examine the construct validity of the scale.

Setting: Four different provinces in Turkey: Istanbul, Ankara, Elazig, and Bingöl.

Participants: Data from 603 Syrian refugees were included in the analyses.

Outcomes and Measures: Information from completed informed consent forms, the OJS–R, and the Occupational Balance Questionnaire–11, Turkish version (OBQ11–T).

Results: The OJS–R explained 70.179% of the variance and revealed a five-factor structure (occupational deprivation, alienation, marginalization, apartheid, and imbalance). The scale demonstrated high reliability, with an interclass correlation of .989 and Cronbach’s α of .993. Test–retest correlation coefficients were robust, and the correlation between the OJS–R and OBQ11–T were statistically significant (r = .987, p < .001). These results validate the 30-item scale structure consisting of five dimensions.

Conclusions and Relevance: The OJS–R may be a reliable and valid measure of occupational justice and appropriate for populations such as refugees.

Plain-Language Summary: Occupational justice is a critical perspective of social structures that promote social, political, and economic changes to enable individuals to meet their occupational potential and experience well-being. Refugees often experience occupational injustice, even though there is no scale to evaluate occupational justice. This study is a scale development study. We developed the Occupational Justice Scale for Refugees (OJS–R), which, to our knowledge, is the first scale designed specifically to measure the levels of occupational justice experienced by refugees. This study’s results may simplify greater consideration and evaluation of occupational justice by occupational therapists. Furthermore, the OJS–R may encourage occupational therapists to include occupational justice in their refugee intervention programs.

Authors: Machado Lisboa Guacyra , Machado Lisboa Rabelo Gyulia
Published: February 2025

Introdução: O acidente de trabalho e a doença ocupacional representam um sério problema para a economia nacional e mundial. Uma das formas de subnotificação acidentária ocorre nas unidades de urgência e emergência, onde muitas vezes, deixa-se de perguntar sobre a ocupação do usuário. A falta dessa informação leva a não perceber no paciente um trabalhador, impossibilitando estabelecer o nexo entre o acidente ocorrido e trabalho. Objetivos: relatar a experiência do desenvolvimento e implantação de ferramentas informatizadas dentro de um Prontuário Eletrônico do Paciente, de modo a evidenciar a ocupação do usuário, visando aumentar a notificação dos acidentes de trabalho. Material e Métodos: Trata-se de relato de experiência, em que a estrutura metodológica compreendeu as fases de desenvolvimento e implantação e execução, cada uma com subfases e as respectivas ações. Resultados: As ferramenta foram inseridas no Prontuário Eletrônico do Paciente e implementadas com sucesso em uma UPA 24h de Maceió, sendo considerado um projeto piloto. Conclusão: As ferramentas desenvolvidas mostraram-se como uma forma prática de minimizar as subnotificações dos acidentes de trabalho, sendo versátil e de fácil utilização.

Traditional cereals-based foods in North African cuisine: Wheat as the cornerstone
Authors: Boukid Fatma
Published: February 2025

Background: Wheat-based foods occupy a central role in the culinary heritage of North Africa, spanning Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. These staple foods have been deeply embedded in the dietary practices and cultural traditions of the regions for centuries, reflecting the rich agricultural and cultural history tied to wheat cultivation.
Aims: This review explores the historical and contemporary significance of wheat as a foundational element of staple dishes in North Africa. The review examines the preparation techniques and cultural significance of diverse wheat-based products, including pasta-type dishes, bread, flatbreads, soups, whole grains, and pastries. Furthermore, the review critically evaluates the interplay between traditional practices and modern trends shaped by globalization, industrial agriculture, and sustainability challenges.
Methods: The study employs a systematic review of scientific literature, historical documents, culinary research, and grey literature. The review incorporates an in-depth analysis of 72 traditional wheat-based products, highlighting their preparation methods and cultural contexts.
Results: The review highlights the pivotal role of wheat-based foods in North African cuisine. Traditional dishes exhibit a rich diversity of textures and flavors, reflecting regional variations and historical influences. However, the increasing prevalence of mass production and standardization, driven by globalization has led to the erosion of traditional practices such as sourdough fermentation, whole grain utilization, and artisanal techniques. The shift towards industrially processed products and homogenized dietary preferences has significantly impacted the preservation of traditional culinary techniques and ingredients.
Conclusions: Despite the pressures of modernization and global influences, traditional wheat-based foods remain an indispensable component of North Africa's culinary heritage. Initiatives to preserve and revitalize traditional practices, including the use of sourdough and whole grains, are essential for safeguarding the cultural richness of North African cuisine and addressing sustainability challenges.
Keywords: Bread, Flatbread, Couscous, Pasta, Globalization, Ethnic Food.

Published: February 2025

Objective: The rising demand for natural medicines in pharmaceuticals has prompted scientists to investigate medicinal plants. Pumpkin seed (Cucurbita pepo L.) is a noteworthy candidate due to its remarkable pharmacological qualities for possible wound healing therapies.
Methods: A total of twelve mature male New Zealand rabbits weighing between 1.5 and 2 kg were subjected to uniform wounds on their dorsum. These rabbits were then split into two groups for healing durations of 3 and 7 days, with 6 rabbits in each group. The induced wound in the control group was allowed to heal naturally, whereas the wounds in the experimental group were treated with a daily local application of pumpkin oil (10µl). The animals were sacrificed after healing times of three and seven days. All examined groups underwent clinical assessment of wound contraction. Specimens were obtained for histological and histomorphometric analysis to evaluate inflammatory cell and blood vessel counts, as well as epithelial thickness.
Results: The average percentage of wound contraction escalated over time. A notable change was found and a statistically significant disparity in the mean values of inflammatory cells was recorded. The mean values for blood vessel count rose with a notable disparity was noted between the control and experimental groups. The evaluation of epithelial thickness indicated that mean values increased over time, with a significant difference in both experimental groups.
Conclusion: As a potential therapeutic agent for wound healing, pumpkin oil may be also beneficial for nutritional and therapeutic applications.

Weather Classification and Prediction on Imagery Using Boltzmann Machine
Authors: Rasna Rasna , Irjii Matdoan Moh. Rahmat , Salat Junaidi , Fitria Fitria , Lamsir Seno
Published: February 2025

Weather is a physical process or event that occurs in the atmosphere at a specific time and place, as well as its changes over a short period in a particular location on Earth. To produce weather forecast information, there is a series of processes that must be carried out until the weather information is conveyed accurately. The stages involved in the feature extraction process are carried out first. This process is carried out to obtain specific characteristics or features from a dataset. After the feature extraction process has been completed, the next step is to predict the weather based on the input images. To classify the weather on Earth using various algorithms, one of which is the Machine Boltzmann. The pattern recognition method used is Machine Boltzmann as an application of a simpler and more complex method. Generally, the weather prediction system using Machine Boltzmann consists of several stages, namely image acquisition, greyscale processing, segmentation/location using Sobel edge detection, classification using the Machine Boltzmann method, and finally producing output in the form of weather class results. The classification process in this research involves images of clear, cloudy, and rainy weather as inputs. The output of the system is the determination of whether the input weather image falls into the category of clear, cloudy, or rainy weather. The results of the study show that the classification of weather based on captured images has the highest accuracy for clear weather, with a percentage of 73.33%. For cloudy weather, the success rate is equal to the error rate, which is 50%, while rainy weather was not recognized at all.
Does lying necessarily involve stating falsehoods? [English translation]
Authors: Szutta Artur
Published: February 2025

This article addresses the question of whether lying inherently requires the expression of objective falsehood. While traditional subjectivist approaches focus on the divergence between a speaker’s beliefs and their statements, some contemporary theorists of lying argue that lying necessitates objectively false utterances. I offer a critical analysis of six thought experiments to illuminate the intuitiveness of the subjectivist claim. In explaining the intuitiveness of the traditional view of lying, I point to its fundamentally moral nature—namely, that lying is rooted in acts of will rather than external outcomes.
Os afetos e o neoliberalismo enquanto dispositivo fascista
Authors: Silva Elainy Costa da
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo visa analisar o papel funcional dos afetos no neoliberalismo enquanto dispositivo fascista. Para isso, busca-se analisar as estratégias de controle neoliberais, a fim de compreender suas propriedades biopolíticas e psicopolíticas que determinam as condutas, as formas de pensar, as regras e os modos de viver. Sob tal prospectiva, observa-se como o neoliberalismo distorce o imaginário, contribuindo para a formação de um sujeito que despreza a alteridade e tem desejo de poder e submissão. O amor e o desejo que antes eram direcionados ao “líder”, no fascismo histórico, agora, desloca-se para o capital.
This paper aims to examine the functional role of affects in neoliberalism as a fascist device. To this end, we seek to analyze neoliberal control strategies in order to understand their biopolitical and psychopolitical properties that determine behaviors, ways of thinking, rules and ways of living. From this perspective, we observe how neoliberalism distorts the imaginary, contributing to the formation of a subject that despises otherness and has a desire for power and submission. The love and desire that were previously directed towards the “leader” in historical fascism are now shifted towards capital.
A função social do riso como reflexo da degradação da comunhão feminina: diálogos entre Federici e Bergson
Authors: Salgado Lívia
Published: February 2025

Trata-se de abordar o processo de expropriação específica às mulheres na emergência da modernidade sob uma outra perspectiva que da violência propriamente dita, qual seja, a degradação do elo feminino através do escárnio e satirização. Para tanto, é crucial, de um lado, explorar os elementos que Henri Bergson dispõe ao asseverar pela função social do riso, que podem revelar como o humor e a comicidade não apenas refletem, mas também perpetuam hierarquias de gênero e contribuem para a marginalização das experiências femininas; de outro, é necessário estabelecer conexões com as teses de Silvia Federici, que nos alerta sobre a desqualificação e a deterioração dos saberes femininos com o surgimento do capitalismo. Federici nos mostra que, à medida que essa sociedade foi se desenvolvendo, houve uma tentativa constante de deslegitimar o conhecimento e as práticas das mulheres, empurrando-as para um campo de ilegalidade circunscrito pela bruxaria.
The aim is to approach the process of expropriation specific to women in the emergence of modernity from another perspective than violence itself, namely the degradation of the female bond through mockery and satirisation. To do this, it is crucial, on the one hand, to explore the elements that Henri Bergson has at his disposal when asserting the social function of laughter, which can reveal how humour and comicality not only reflect but also perpetuate gender hierarchies and contribute to the marginalisation of women's experiences; on the other hand, it is necessary to establish connections with the theses of Silvia Federici, who warns us about the disqualification and deterioration of women's knowledge in the emergence of capitalism. Federici shows us that, as this society developed, there was a constant attempt to delegitimise women's knowledge and practices, pushing them into a field of illegality circumscribed by witchcraft. In this sense, comicality operated as a social disciplining mechanism, reinforcing power structures and restricting women's activities in the public sphere
Assessing the Robustness of Ordinary Least Squares and Double Weighted M-Estimation Methods for Predicting Crude Oil Prices in Nigeria: A Study of Predictive Accuracy and Generalization
Authors: A. J. Adjekukor, , C. O. Aronu,
Published: February 2025

This study evaluates the robustness of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Double Weighted M-Estimation (DWME) methods for predicting crude oil prices in Nigeria, focusing on predictive accuracy and generalization. Using 192 monthly data points (2006–2021) from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), the dataset included crude oil prices, production, crude oil production, and exchange rates, with synthetic datasets simulated via multivariate normal distribution for varying dimensions (n = 10 to 1,000). The performance measures such as Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and R-squared were assessed. Results showed comparable MSE values for training data, with OLS_TRAIN ranging from 172.85 to 694.56 and DWME_TRAIN from 173.03 to 699.27. Testing data revealed DWME's marginal superiority, with slightly lower MSE (e.g., DWME_TEST median 548.68 vs. OLS_TEST median 543.85). MAE trends indicated consistency for both methods, with DWME showing marginally better stability across dimensions. R-squared values highlighted improved generalization for smaller datasets, with DWME_TEST peaking at 0.7043 and OLS_TEST at 0.7544 for the 10x3 dimension. Both methods struggled with generalization as dimensions increased but exhibited stable training performance. In conclusion, DWME demonstrated slightly better robustness, especially in testing scenarios, affirming its suitability for predictive tasks involving economic and energy-related variables.
Surviving Boko Haram Captivity: Gender Roles, Agency, and Resilience at the International Christian Centre, Edo State (Nigeria)
Authors: E. U. Chidozie,
Published: February 2025

This article examines the experiences of young women and children affected by Boko Haram's violence—a terror group in Nigeria, focusing on how their lives within the insurgency's grasp provide a lens into broader gender dynamics. It highlights the roles of resilience and agency, particularly in the context of captivity and escape. While the sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) they faced is acknowledged in several literatures, the intricate dynamics of surviving captivity and navigating escape are underexplored. Drawing on qualitative data from the International Christian Centre, this study examines the ways in which young women and children actively navigated their captivity through expressions of agency, resilience and complex gendered dynamics. It explores both their adherence to and reshaping of traditional gender roles, framed through the lens of multiple or ‘overlapping identities.’ This approach informs diverse survival strategies embedded in the integration and normalization of gender dynamics within the context of captivity, escape and survival strategies.

Revisión bibliográfica sobre la familia en Argentina
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina, Passanante Maria Inés
Published: February 2025

La revisión bibliográfica sobre la familia en Argentina abarca tres décadas de publicaciones que analizan diversas dimensiones demográficas y sociales, como la nupcialidad, fecundidad, composición de los hogares, y cambios en los modelos de vida familiar. Estas investigaciones, predominantemente centradas en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, utilizan tanto enfoques cuantitativos como cualitativos, proporcionando una comprensión amplia pero a veces no generalizable de la realidad familiar argentina. Además de aspectos tradicionales, se examinan temas contemporáneos como la protección de la primera infancia, la maternidad, y el impacto de crisis económicas. Sin embargo, se identifica una falta de estudios enfocados en la formulación de políticas públicas específicas para la familia. La investigación destaca la necesidad de fortalecer la familia como institución en respuesta a los cambios sociales y económicos recientes, subrayando el papel crítico del Estado en el apoyo a las familias.

Authors: Anghel Brindusa , Lacuesta Aitor
Published: February 2025

Motivación

En este artículo se realiza una estimación del rendimiento salarial de diferentes niveles educativos en Alemania, Francia, Italia y España. Para ello, se calculan las tasas internas de rentabilidad de la educación terciaria y de la educación secundaria superior respecto a la educación secundaria obligatoria.

Ideas principales

•Los ingresos laborales aumentan con el nivel educativo. En el período 2010-2020, Alemania fue el país con el mayor diferencial salarial entre individuos con estudios terciarios y aquellos con educación secundaria obligatoria, seguida por Francia, España e Italia.

•En estos cuatro países, la rentabilidad de la educación terciaria respecto a la secundaria obligatoria supera el 10 %. Francia y Alemania tienen los rendimientos más altos, de alrededor del 20 %, mientras que Italia y España los tienen más bajos, del 11 % y 12 %, respectivamente.

•La rentabilidad de los niveles de educación terciaria académica, independientemente del campo, es más alta que la de la formación profesional superior. Además, el rendimiento de la formación académica en los campos de ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas es mayor que en el campo de humanidades. En todas las especializaciones de educación terciaria, destaca Alemania, con la rentabilidad más alta, seguida por Francia, España e Italia.

The manufacture of packaging products requires determining the strength requirements of the components that make up the structural elements of pallets, crates and other packaging. Wood, as a renewable material, is the basic raw material for manufacturing wooden pallets. The premise of the research is that the strength of pallets is derived from the characteristics of the components of the subassemblies. Strength tests of lumber were carried out, which determine the evaluation of the suitability of sawn materials. Verification of raw material properties determines the adaptation of individual assemblies to static and dynamic force loads. Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) lumber was verified, taking into account the origin of the cross-sectional area and the presence of anatomical structure features. The results of the study confirm the influence of wood origin on the suitability of pine wood for wood packaging. The influence of a certain origin from the log can translate into changes in strength properties. It was found that wood density is not a critical parameter for evaluating the strength of lumber and product. Tests of separated structural lumber for wood packaging indicate significant differences in the condition of the wood and the magnitude of the strength parameter.

Authors: Mishra Mahesh , Arora Dr. Mehak
Published: February 2025

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a pivotal role in driving economic growth and fostering globalization. This study analyzes the trends and patterns of FDI inflows globally and within BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—from January 2013 to December 2023. Using a decade-long dataset, the research identifies key patterns and trends in FDI distribution. The findings highlight the resilience of BRICS economies in attracting FDI amidst global uncertainties, with varying trajectories influenced by policy changes, geopolitical dynamics, and economic reforms. The paper also explores the implications of these trends for sustainable economic growth and development in BRICS countries. By providing a comparative analysis of global and BRICS-specific FDI inflows, the study offers valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and researchers.
