En kunnskapsbasert IT-næring: aktivitet og effekt
Authors: Andersen Espen
Published: October 2023

Norsk IT-næring er stor, lønnsom, svært innovativ og kunnskapsbasert, men i liten grad en kunnskapsklynge. Den er svært sentralisert – mest til Oslo/Akershus, med Trondheim og Horten som mindre sentra. Få norske IT-selskaper konkurrerer globalt. De som gjør det, selges ofte ut av landet når de når en viss størrelse og modenhet, men kompetansen blir ofte igjen i Norge. Næringens viktigste samfunnsbidrag ligger i å tilby en kompetitiv arena og en strategisk ressurs for å øke Norges innovasjonskraft, produktivitet og konkurranseevne. Den lave profilen – fordi verdiskapningen synliggjøres i andre næringer – er en utfordring, særlig for rekruttering.
Næringen må opptre mer samlet for å øke teknologiens profil som verdiskaper. Den må kollektivt ta initiativ til ikke bare å fremme teknologibruk, men også til de organisasjons- og prosessendringer som kreves for å utnytte teknologien, særlig i offentlig tjenesteytende sektor. I kortform: Næringen må slutte å selge kundene det de vil ha og heller få dem til å gjøre det de burde gjøre.
Offentlig politisk holdning bør være å holde fingrene fra fatet – næringen trenger ikke hjelp, den er både kilde til og mester i omstilling – og å satse tungt på utdanning av teknisk kompetent arbeidskraft. Norges utfordring ligger i å omsette innbyggernes høye individuelle teknologadopsjon til en like stor evne og vilje til å tilpasse rutiner og tjenester til den nye teknologien. Lykkes det, kan Norge bli en eksportør av en smart offentlighet – og unge, kreative mennesker kan finne lukrative jobber med å skape den produktivitet deres fremtidige velferd vil kreve.
Innovasjon i byggenæringen
Authors: Bygballe Lena E. , Goldeng Eskil Le Bruyn
Published: October 2023

I denne artikkelen tar vi utgangspunkt i påstanden om at byggenæringen er lite innovativ. Dette forklares ofte med at bedrifter i byggenæringen investerer lite i forskning og utvikling (FoU), og at de er svake på å etablere langsiktige relasjoner til andre. Samtidig beskrives denne næringen som kompleks og fragmentert, med et stort antall spesialiserte bedrifter av ulik størrelse og organisasjonsform. Spørsmålet vi stiller her, er derfor hvilke forskjeller og likheter som finnes mellom ulike bransjer i næringen når det gjelder innovasjon. Gjelder de lave investeringene i FoU og relasjoner for hele næringens verdikjede, eller finner vi at noen bransjer utmerker seg på det ene eller andre området? Diskusjonen er basert på funn fra en studie av bygg-, anlegg- og eiendomsnæringen innenfor forskningsprosjektet Et kunnskapsbasert Norge (EKN)1, som ses i lys av eksisterende teori og forskning på innovasjon både generelt og i byggenæringen spesielt. Funnene viser at det er forskjeller mellom ulike bransjer når det gjelder FoU-investeringer og investeringer i relasjoner til andre aktører, men at det sammenliknet med andre næringer likevel er et tydelig uutnyttet potensial på tvers av bransjene. Vi konkluderer med at næringen som helhet derfor har noen utfordringer som må løses, men at det samtidig er et behov for en bedre forståelse av hvordan innovasjon kommer til uttrykk i denne næringen, og hvordan innovasjonsprosessene faktisk foregår. Dette krever igjen at man identifiserer indikatorer på innovasjon som tar kunnskapens praksisbaserte natur til etterretning.
Adferdsøkonomi og økonomiske eksperimenter
Authors: Cappelen Alexander W. , Tungodden Bertil
Published: October 2023

Adferdsøkonomi søker å gi økonomifaget et mer realistisk fundament og på den måte forbedre fagets evne til å forklare økonomiske fenomen og økonomisk adferd. Økonomisk teori hartradisjonelt vært basert på et knippe antakelser om hva som motiverer beslutningstakere, og hvordan de tar beslutninger. Adferdsøkonomi modifiserer disse antakelsene og tar høyde for at menneskelig rasjonalitet har sine begrensninger, og at mennesker ofte har komplekse motiver for det de gjør.
Adferdsøkonomi har de siste årene fått stort gjennomslag, og denne suksessen har vært tett koblet til økt bruk av eksperimentell metode i økonomifaget. Resultater fra økonomiske eksperimenter har dokumentert at de tradisjonelle antakelsene om egoisme og rasjonalitet gir et dårlig bilde av adferd i mange økonomiske situasjoner.
Adferdsøkonomi og økonomiske eksperimenter har bidratt til en spennende utvikling i økonomifaget, både tematisk og metodisk (Falk og Heckman 2009). I dette spesialnummeret av Magma presenterer vi et knippe på fire artikler som viser noe av mangfoldet i den fremvoksende litteraturen. Som en bakgrunn for disse artiklene vil vi her gi et overblikk over forskningsfeltet adferdsøkonomi og eksperimentell økonomi.
Resten av artikkelen er organisert som følger. I neste del beskriver vi de viktigste kjennetegn ved økonomiske eksperimenter og fordeler og ulemper ved eksperimentell metode for å studere økonomiske fenomen. Del 3 presenterer noen av de viktigste innsiktene som har kommet fra adferdsøkonomien, og forklarer hvordan de fire artiklene i dette spesialnummeret plasserer seg i forhold til den litteraturen, før vi konkluderer i del 4.
Finans og psykologi: En småsparers investeringsferdigheter
Authors: Nygaard Knut
Published: October 2023

Overgangen fra ytelsesbaserte til innskuddsbaserte pensjonsordninger aktualiserer behovet for kunnskap om småspareres investeringsferdigheter. Ikke bare kan man nå velge hvordan pensjonsmidlene forvaltes, men ansvaret for å finansiere pensjonsalderen hviler nå i større grad på den enkelte. Nyere forskning påviser at den gjennomsnittlige småsparer klarer seg godt i forhold til de normative idealene fra standard finansteori. Samtidig ser vi at mindre ressurssterke småsparere – målt ved lav utdanning, lav samlet formue og lav IQ – foretar systematiske investeringsfeil. Dette tyder på at mindre ressurssterke småsparere er mer påvirket av de kognitive begrensningene som adferdsbasert finansteori fremhever. Å hjelpe mindre ressursterke småsparere bort fra investeringsfeil krever smarte regulatoriske grep og finansielle produkter hvor det er mindre mulighet til å gjøre feil.
Insentiver og innsats
Authors: Cappelen Alexander W. , Tungodden Bertil
Published: October 2023

I denne artikkelen presenterer vi innsikter fra nyere forskning innen adferdsøkonomi og eksperimentelle økonomi som har dokumentert at forholdet mellom økonomiske insentiver og innsats er mer komplekst enn det økonomisk teori tradisjonelt har antatt. Vi fokuserer på tre typer resultater fra denne typen forskning, som viser at: økonomiske insentiver ikke er det eneste som motiverer innsats, økonomiske insentiver kan svekke moralske og sosiale motiver for innsats, og økonomiske insentiver kan ha effekter på andre enn de som står direkte overfor insentivene. Vi viser også hvordan eksperimentell metode kan benyttes til å belyse disse problemstillingene.
Finanskriser – Hva Vet Vi?
Authors: Doppelhofer Gernot
Published: October 2023

Da finanskrisen herjet som verst – krisen som startet i det amerikanske subprime-markedet på midten av 2000-tallet og etter hvert rammet mange økonomier – henvendte dronningen av England seg til en gruppe økonomer med følgende spørsmål: Hvorfor var det ingen som så krisen komme? Denne artikkelen gir en gjennomgang av hva vi (økonomer) vet om finanskriser. Hvordan arter de seg, og hvordan påvirker de realøkonomien? Hvilken innvirkning har de på et lands økonomiske politikk, og – ikke minst – har de nordiske landene lært noe av de store økonomiske krisene der på starten av 1990-tallet?
Denne artikkelen gir en gjennomgang av det som er skrevet om følgende typer finanskriser: (1)bankvesen, (2)valuta, (3)kombinasjonen av disse to, såkalte tvillingkriser, og (4)gjeldskriser. Vi drøfter hvilke empiriske faktorer som er avgjørende i finanskriser i mange fremvoksende markedsbaserte og avanserte økonomier, og vi ser på vanlige varianter av oppgang og vekst i forbindelse med finanskriser, og vi ser dem i lys av erfaringene i de nordiske landene på 1990-tallet. Artikkelen konkluderer med noen nyttige erfaringer knyttet til økonomisk politikk.
For mye eller for lite lån?
Authors: Hetland Ove Rein , Mjøs Aksel
Published: October 2023

Betydningen av bankenes rolle som formidler av kreditt til næringslivet fikk spesielt fokus i finanskrisen. Fra et forskningsperspektiv gir virkningene av krisen også en nyttig mulighet til å analysere bankers rolle og deres relasjon til bedriftene. Denne artikkelen gjennomgår noen perspektiver fra finansforskningen om hvordan vi kan forstå bankers rolle, samt hovedresultatene fra bankforskningen innen forskningsprogrammet «Krise, omstilling og vekst» (KOV). Vi har spesielt sett på om bankenes låneadferd overfor nye kunder varierer mellom oppgangstider og mer normale perioder, samt på betydningen av kredittilgang for bedriftenes investeringer.
Multiplikatoreffekter ved innovasjon i leverandørnettverk:
Authors: Midttun Atle , Ørjasæter Nils-Otto
Published: October 2023

Norsk petroleumssektor har vært en storstilt arena for innovasjon. Næringen har gått løs på en kontinuerlig strøm av utfordringer; fra utvikling av felt i grunne farvann med lett tilgjengelig olje og gass, til kompliserte reservoarer, langt fra land i dype havområder, og med store klimatiske utfordringer. Utfordringene har vært løst gjennom et omfattende samarbeid mellom operatørselskap (store petroleumsselskap), deres leverandører og underleverandører.
Keynes påviste i sin tid muligheten for å utnytte positive ringvirkninger av offentlige investeringer og forbruk for å få fart på økonomien (Keynes 1936). Effekten var langt større enn den offentlige innsatsen skulle tilsi, takket være omfattende ringvirkninger, eller den såkalte multiplikatoreffekten. Vi argumenterer for at det kan skapes en tilsvarende multiplikatoreffekt for innovasjon som ikke bare utløser leverandørbedriftenes kreativitet, men også høster erfaringer fra nyskapning i egne utallige øvrige nettverk og kunderelasjoner.
Denne effekten er illustrert gjennom tre case, nemlig utvikling av den ubemannede og tråløse undervannsfarkosten, HUGIN, havbunnsgravemaskinen SPIDER og et havbunns-gasskomperasjonsanlegg. Casene illustrerer også operatørselskapenes evne til å mobilisere og koordinere sitt leverandørnettverk. Med deres sterke ressursbase og betydelige insentiver, klarer de å forene behovet for samarbeid, mot behovet for konkurranse. Petroleumsselskapene konkurrerer med hverandre om å få operatøransvaret for nye felt (lisenser). Straks lisensen er utdelt, samarbeider de om utbygging og drift av det samme feltet. De mobiliserer så sitt leverandørnettverk i en åpen innovasjonsarena. Premien for leverandørene er kompetanseoppbygging og utvikling av nye immaterielle verdier, som igjen kan brukes for å erobre nye prosjekt og kunder.
Rom for læring: betydningen av handlingsrom for ledelse
Authors: Espedal Bjarne , Kvitastein Olav A.
Published: October 2023

I ledelseslitteraturen framstilles handlingsrom som en faktor som gir a) ledere endringskapasitet eller evne til å fatte endringsrelaterte valg og b) mulighet til å gjennomføre valgene (endringene). Endringskapasitet er relatert til læring, motivasjon og innflytelse (makt). Denne artikkelen retter søkelyset mot sammenhenger mellom handlingsrom på den ene side og læring, motivasjon og innflytelse på den andre side. Drøftingen viser at antakelsene som ligger til grunn for handlingsrom kan være problematiske. Ledere som endringsagenter må derfor nøye vurdere hvilken situasjon eller endringsfase de står overfor. I en tidlig fase der det er behov for å utvikle kunnskap vil stort handlingsrom være av stor betydning. I en senere fase der det er behov for å gjennomføre valg kan imidlertid makt være viktigere enn autonomi. Endringskapasitet innebærer derfor at ledere som endringsagenter har evne til å utvikle fleksibilitet i forhold til eget handlingsrom.
Organisasjonsendring som organisasjonsgjøring
Authors: Røvik Kjell Arne
Published: October 2023

I denne artikkelen skisseres en alternativ teori om hva som utløser og driver endringer av organisasjoner. Hovedresonnementet er at mange endringsforsøk må ses i sammenheng med fremveksten av en stadig sterkere identitet som organisasjon for all verdens ulike virksomheter. Det argumenteres for at institusjonen organisasjon er en viktig reformkraft i seg selv. Forsøk på å endre virksomheter må derfor ofte forstås som organisasjonsgjøring, dvs. som forsøk på å gjøre virksomheter mer organisasjonsartete.
Informasjonssystemer og rutiner
Authors: Hærem Thorvald
Published: October 2023

Denne artikkelen tar opp problemet med at organisasjoner ofte utvikler en rigiditet i handlingsmønstre med en tilhørende manglende evne til å endre seg. Vi kaller dette en innlåsingseffekt. Ettersom informasjonssystemer tar over og støtter flere og flere arbeidsprosesser, blir den vanlige brukeren mer fremmedgjort i forhold til å ha innflytelse på endringene i arbeidsprosessene. Dermed blir innlåsingseffekten forsterket. Organisasjoner har gitt ansvaret for å endre og vedlikeholde arbeidsprosesser støttet av informasjonssystemer til en såkalt løsningsarkitekt. Artikkelen forklarer hvorfor denne rollen blir en læringsdørvakt og dermed kritisk for endringsprosessene i organisasjonen. Denne artikkelen presenterer et rammeverk for å forstå både innlåsingsprosessene og for å analysere hva som skal til for å utøve rollen som læringsdørvakt effektivt.
Samfunnsansvarsrapportering – et regnskapsrettslig og dansk perspektiv
Authors: Schwencke Hans R.
Published: October 2023

Stortinget vil i vårsesjonen ventelig vedta nye regler i regnskapsloven knyttet til ikke-finansiell rapportering, nærmere bestemt samfunnsansvarsrapportering. Det skal bl.a. gis opplysninger knyttet til arbeidstakerrettigheter, ytre miljø og bekjempelse av korrupsjon.Med utgangspunkt i et regnskapsrettslig perspektiv drøfter artikkelen bakgrunnen for vedtaket. Mangel på europeisk (EU-direktiver)og internasjonal (IASB) regelverk på dette området vanskeliggjør regional og internasjonal harmonisering. Forslaget er derfor i stedet inspirert av dansk årsregnskapslov, som i flere år har hatt tilsvarende krav på dette området. Regjeringen håper forslaget bidrar til økt åpenhet og økt bevisstgjøring knyttet til samfunnsansvarsspørsmål blant større norske foretak.Det er verd å merke seg at samfunnsansvarsrapportering er gjenstand for løpende drøftelser så vel på EU- nivå som internasjonalt. Slik sett kan det kommende lovvedtaket kanskje betraktes som et overgangsregime som i fremtiden vil bli erstattet av europeiske og/eller internasjonale tiltak.
Skattemoral som samfunnsansvar
Authors: Opsahl Hanne , Kristensen Roy
Published: October 2023

Denne artikkelen er basert på en spørreundersøkelse som ble gjennomført i regnskapsførerbransjen i Norge i august/september 2012. Undersøkelsen ble gjennomført i regi av Norges Autoriserte Regnskapsføreres Forening (NARF), som organiserer ca. 60 % av de autoriserte regnskapsførerne i Norge, og er den største kompetanseorganisasjonen for autoriserte regnskapsførere her i landet. Formålet med undersøkelsen var å fremskaffe datagrunnlag for presentasjon på «Holdningskonferansen 2012: Fair play – et vanskelig valg?», en holdningskonferanse mot svart økonomi og urettferdig konkurranse. Konferansen ble arrangert av Samarbeid mot svart økonomi (SMSØ) og Handelshøyskolen BI – Senter for samfunnsansvar, og den ble arrangert i sistnevntes lokaler i Oslo (Nydalen) 7. november 2012.Konferansen fokuserte på samspillet mellom næringslivet og offentlige myndigheter på området skatter og avgifter. Partene ble spurt om de anser seg for å spille mot samme mål, eller om de anser seg for å ha konkurrerende interesser. Et formål med konferansen var å belyse årsaker, virkninger og løsninger i tilknytning til svart økonomi og urettferdig konkurranse.
Tillit i prosjekter
Authors: Alm Kristian , Andersen Erling S. , Kvalnes Øyvind
Published: October 2023

En prosjektledelse vil oppleve etiske dilemmaer. Håndteringen av et dilemma er enklere når det er tillit mellom de involverte. Tilliten styrkes ved at den som gis tillit (kalt tillitsmottakeren), viser dyktighet, velvilje og integritet. Samtidig må den som skal vise vedkommende tillit (kalt tillitsgiveren), ha evnen til å føle tillit. Tillit etableres ikke bare mellom to personer, men også i en kjede av samarbeidende parter. Tillit er kostnads- og tidsbesparende (det blir mindre behov for kontroll). Tillit innebærer at man gjør seg sårbar gjennom å bli avhengig av at tillitsmottakeren lever opp til forventningene. Tillit er vanskeligere å etablere i en temporær organisasjon som et prosjekt er, der medarbeiderne ikke kjenner hverandre like godt som i en vanlig organisasjon. Men tillit kan også skapes i et prosjekt hvis man er bevisst på hva som kreves for å skape en tillitsfull organisasjon, gjennom oppstartseminar, jevnlige refleksjonsmøter og ved målrettet rekruttering av medarbeidere til prosjektet.
Nettverk, tillit og risiko
Authors: Reiersen Jon
Published: October 2023

Artikkelen diskuterer og formaliserer Yamagishi (2011) sin idé om at tillit fungerer som et springbrett som gjør det mulig for aktører å bryte ut av etablerte forpliktelser og satse ressurser i mer usikre, men samtidig mer lønnsomme prosjekter. Uten tillit vil aktører søke sikkerhet innenfor etablerte nettverk, men dette begrenser muligheten til å realisere gevinster knyttet til handel i større markeder. Manglende tillit påfører dermed både den enkelte og samfunnet tap ved at gevinster knyttet til arbeidsdeling og spesialisering ikke blir realisert. Modellen som utledes, viser at sterke nettverk og mangel på generalisert tillit kan hemme økonomisk utvikling – slik Yamagishi (2011) hevder er situasjonen i Japan i dag.

Psychological-Related Challenges in Speaking: Experience of Vocational Students
Authors: Sulindra Eric , Hartani Tuti , Cendra Anastasia Nelladia
Published: October 2023

Speaking is still often considered one of the most daunting skills for English language learners. For Asian learners, such as Indonesian, it is quite common for them to experience psychological-related challenges whenever they are presented with speaking tasks. The aims of this research aims to analyze the psychological challenges of students in vocational education at the higher education level.This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Respondents in this study are 36 students. The data in this study were sourced from the experiences of the respondents which were recorded in their guided reflection and semi-structured interviews.The data from the reflection results were analyzed using three coding steps: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. This study found that most participants reported negative feelings around speaking tasks, such as being nervous, afraid (of making mistakes), fear of failure, insecure, tense, anxious, and doubtful, faster heartbeats and trembling which mostly stemmed from afraid to failing to meet expectations, lack of preparation, and lack of adequate language competence. Suggestions for a better-speaking class are discussed.
Feline Coronavirus Infection: Genomics and Epizootology
Authors: Tkacheva E. V. , Vakulenko M. Yu. , Popov I. V. , Ermakov A. M.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The issue of coronavirus infection prevalence in cats is still acute. Particular danger of infecting the animals lies in possible mutations of the virus, the asymptomatic course of the disease, high prevalence of the virus carriage in cats and development of the viral peritonitis in some of the specimens often causing the death of animals. The aim of this work is to study the relation between the keeping conditions and the coronavirus infection prevalence in cat populations in different countries, as well as the possibility of the viral peritonitis development in this species of animal.

Materials and Methods. The analysis of the Russian and foreign sources published before March 2023 was carried out. Based on the research made by the scientists from the Netherlands, Korea, Germany, Taiwan, Australia, Sweden, Czech Republic, Malaysia and Turkey, the relation between the cat keeping conditions and the coronavirus infection prevalence in their populations was studied and the brief characteristics of the disease was given.

Results. Based on the analysis of the several epizootological study results, it was concluded that the rate of companion cats infection with the coronavirus reached 80 %, and one of the highest rates was recorded in Germany: 76.5 % (Confidence Interval (CI) 95 %: 69.8 %; 82.2 %) and 84 % (CI 95 %: 73.3 %; 94.9 %), respectively. Coronavirus infection prevalence in cats kept in groups, as well as in stray cats was significantly higher than in animals kept in isolation.

Discussion and Conclusions. Studying the FCoV prevalence in various cat populations revealed its direct dependence from the keeping conditions. The need to control and limit the number of animals that are kept together, as well as to comply with all the keeping and quarantine standards, is shown, and could become the way for the cat owners to suppress the infectious disease agents transmission.
Modern Approaches to Treatment of Alopecia X in Dogs: Review of Research
Authors: Kochetkova A. Yu. , Fomina A. S. , Gots D. N. , Derezina T. N.
Published: October 2023

Introduction.Noninflammatory alopecia is a disorder of canine appearance, which brings aesthetic discomfort to dog owners. Among foreign studies there are only few publications on implementing the drugs of the humane medicine for treatment of this disorder. The publications in the national literature present the descriptions of the individual clinical cases. The reviews of research containing the analysis and summary of the canine noninflammatory alopecia treatment methods are unavailable in the scientific literature. Therefore, this work aims at providing a comparative analysis of the canine noninflammatory alopecia treatment methods (based on the literature sources analysis).

Materials and Methods.Searching by subject area was conducted in the eLIBRARY.RU, PubMed, Crossref and Google Scholar databases for materials published from 2000 to 2023 by the following keywords: dog AND alopecia, dog*AND alopecia X, dog*AND “name of the drug”. The selected materials were structured, 111 publications were analysed, 69 of which were included in the present review.

Results.The studies on the use of humane medicine methods and drugs for treatment of alopecia X in dogs were analysed. The information was systemized into thematic blocks depending on the physiological causes of alopecia X and the drugs used. The main methods and approaches to be investigated were the use of melatonin, mitotane, trilostane, minoxidil, hormonal drugs, microneedling and microtrauma techniques.

Discussion and Conclusion.Currently, the unified protocol for treatment of alopecia X in dogs is not developed in the veterinary medicine. Upon analysis of the treatment methods described in the literature, microneedling, oral administration of melatonin and trilostane, along with the use of subcutaneous implants of deslorelin acetate have been identified as the optimal ones, combining high efficiency with minor side effects. The use of mitotane, minoxidil and osaterone acetate causes the serious side effects, that prevents them from being the future-oriented methods.
Helminth Fauna of Bats in the Rostov Region: Review. 1. Nematoda
Authors: Evsyukov A. P. , Tsygankova M. G.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. Bats (Chiroptera) are the least studied group of mammals in many regions of Russia. At the same time, the chiropterans are known to be one of the largest orders of Mammalia, which can act as hosts and carriers of various pathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses. However, the parasitic fauna of this group of animals is poorly investigated. The study of bat-parasitizing worms has great practical importance, since bats, due to their ancient origin, are a very detached order. Endoparasites, including the chiropteran helminths, have not been previously studied in the Rostov region. According to the available data, the up-to-date research on the bat parasites in Russia has been carried out only in the Saratov region and in the Republic of Mordovia. The aim of this series of articles is to study the helminth species composition parasitizing in chiropterans in the Rostov region. In the first report we present the data on nematodes.

Materials and Methods. The materials for the research were the articles from the open access literature databases: PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), Cyberleninka (cyberleninka.ru), GoogleScholar (https://scholar.google.com ), etc. The main method used was the analysis of the collected data.

Results. The authors were the first to reveal that 27 nematode species from 14 genera, 8 families, 4 orders and 2 classes can be found in 15 bat species living in the Rostov region. The numerous Chromadorea class is represented by 21 species, 12 of which are found in Russia.

Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the literature sources analysis showed that the largest number of nematode species parasitize in two chiropteran species living in the Rostov region: in the Daubenton's bat (15 species) and in the common noctule (14 species). Only one species has been recorded in the northern bat. Most nematode species parasitize specifically in bats and have a direct life cycle. (e.g., species of the genus Molinostrongylus). For some species, such as Pterygodermatites bovieri and Litomosa spp., the intermediate hosts are arthropods and the definitive hosts are various bat species. For three nematode species: Ascarops strongylina, Physocephalus sexalatus and Spirocerca lupi, bats are the paratenic hosts.
Approximate solution of the fractional differential equation via the natural decomposition method
Authors: Almuneef A. , Hagag A.
Published: October 2023

In today’s world, analyzing nonlinear occurrences related to physical phenomena is a hot topic. The main goal of this research is to use the natural decomposition method (NDM) of fractional order to find an approximate solution to the fractional clannish random walker’s parabolic (CRWP) equation. The proposed method gives approximate solutions that are exceptionally near the exact solution without the complication that numerous other techniques imply. Banach’s fixed-point theory is used to investigate the anticipated issue’s convergence analysis and uniqueness theorem. To ensure that the suggested technique is trustworthy and precise, numerical simulations were conducted. The results are shown in the graphs and tables. When comparing the proposed scheme’s solution to the actual solutions, it becomes clear that the scheme is efficient, systematic, and very precise when dealing with nonlinear complex phenomena.

Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory “K-MPAI” developed by Kenny, Davis, and Oates (2004) and adapted into Turkish by Özevin-Tokinan (2013) was used as a data collection tool in the study.
Findings: The findings showed that teacher candidates have moderate performance anxiety. In the study, it was concluded that gender, individual instrument type and level of success were variables that caused a difference in the performance anxiety levels of teacher candidates, but the grade level was the variable that did not cause a difference in anxiety scores.
Teatro del oprimido como estrategia de intervención para prevenir el consumo de drogas en adolescentes; revisión bibliográfica
Authors: Guerra Santamaría Patricia Alejandra , Portilla Villarreal Alex
Published: October 2023

There are probably few topics that entice multiple interpretations, myths and prejudices like that of drug consumption. It is enough to mention the word drug, it entails a series of debates and endless references. Currently drug consumption is considered a global problem of public health, for which it’s taken into account as one of the priority issues to be treated within government agendas. Given the aforementioned reality, the investigation was developed, whose objective was describing the influence of the Theater of the Oppressed as an intervention strategy, that prevents drug use in adolescents. For the execution of the investigation, the documentary design and the descriptive investigative level were used, through exhaustive searches in different scientific databases. The finding showed that the theater of the oppressed is a pedagogical instrument that seeks to improve communication relationships, allows the release of emotions and creates awareness. Conclusion, the design of the didactic proposal, raises activities based on the theatrical praxis and on the game, since they are the key of protection to prevent and raise awareness among adolescents about the use of drugs and this must be done from the educational context.

Discussion and conclusions. The Student T-test of related samples was used, reaching a significance value of 0,003, demonstrating that the recreational program applied was effective and is considered highly useful to be applied in different periods and students of higher levels.
The Interplay Between Supply Chain Resilience and Climate Change
Authors: Freeman Mackenzie
Published: October 2023

Supply chains – a web of organisations and actors from raw material to consumption – are no longer linear; they instead make up a network of interconnected and overlapping global suppliers. Simultaneously, climate change has become one of, if not the greatest challenge of the modern world, materialised by increasing temperatures and sea levels, and intensified extreme weather events. This era of increased turbulence needs new ways of thinking to build resilience strategies in the face of such disruptions. Supply chain resilience (SCR) strategies have typically been based on an equilibrium-seeking system whereby the goal is to bounce back to the pre-disruption state or bounce forward to a better state. This research borrows the Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) perspective which acknowledges the environment as a continuously evolving system that responds to multiscale interactions and feedback between different actors. This CAS perspective of SCR seeks to maintain the core functionality by adapting, evolving, and transforming to the dynamic environment. This research aims to explore the interrelationship between SCR and climate change across multiple temporal and spatial scales through multiple case studies. In this presentation, I will display initial findings from the pilot study focusing on three cases of New Zealand multinationals. These findings are formed exclusively through secondary data collected from case study, company reports and documents, press releases and databases, which will later be used to complement interviews and focus groups with companies’ executives. I will demonstrate how increased collaboration and agility along the supply chain is needed in the face of increasing climate related disruptions. Given that supply chain interactions are a major contributor to climate change, this presentation also intends to explore ways in which supply chains can operate more sustainability as part of a continuously evolving process of resiliency.
Recovery After mTBI: What Does It Mean and How Do We Measure It?
Authors: Bray Charlotte
Published: October 2023

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are proving to be a significant public health issue, with over 36,000 new cases each year in New Zealand. The majority (95%) of these cases are classified as mild (mTBI). Most patients recover within days to weeks after the injury. However, for some patients recovery is not achieved and they still experience symptoms months to years after their injury. One of the issues in determining why some individuals do not recover as quickly as others is that there is no comprehensive patient-reported measure of what it means to be recovered after mTBI. My research consists of three phases. In the first phase I interviewed 14 patients who had experienced at least one mTBI to determine what recovery means to them. Using thematic analysis, I identified three themes that were part of the recovery process: 1) an ability to function without limitations; 2) regaining a sense of self; and 3) symptom resolution. Most participants judged their recovery based on how they were feeling and felt there was a need to have a way of monitoring how they were doing over time. In the second phase I used the participants’ quotes and themes to create a questionnaire designed to measure recovery after mTBI. The initial set of 18 prototype items have been reviewed by five people with personal experience of mTBI and a panel of mTBI experts to refine the language used and ensure all major components of recovery are captured.  In the third phase of my research, I will ask 200 people who have experienced a mTBI to complete the prototype questionnaire so we can establish its validity and reliability to determine its utility to be used as a tool in clinical practice to monitor people’s recovery. In this presentation I will summarise my results from the first and second studies and outline the plans for future research.
Digital Entanglement: Thinking With and About Digital Artifacts
Authors: Rodriguez Cristian
Published: October 2023

Object-oriented cognition suggests that human thinking and perception are largely based on our interactions with objects in the world, and that our ability to recognise objects and understand their properties is fundamental to how we make sense of the world. Similarly, Enactivism emphasises the role of bodily interactions and experiences in shaping our cognitive processes, from imagining or remembering to scientific models that help advance our understanding of the world. However, the ubiquitous presence of digital technologies in our daily life implies that the nature and properties of artifacts as a means of directing cognition are impacted by a redefinition of the material properties of those artifacts. Digital Ontophany (Vial, 2018, 2019) argues that technologies generate cyclical changes in the way we perceive things (ontophanic shifts). These shifts affect our phenomenological experience of the world and have the power to change our idea of what is possible. Through a mix of micro-phenomenology and micro-ethnography, this research collects first-person accounts of the experience of learning with digital devices in a secondary school in Aotearoa New Zealand, as a way to shine light onto the black-boxed assemblage of learners and devices. The main aims of this presentation are to introduce a comprehensive literature review that supports this research and to discuss the initial findings, which indicate the emergence of a new dynamic of digital artifactuality that materialises new conditions of possibility and a redefinition of embodied dexterity.
Trauma to Tyranny: Autobiographical Narrative as Empathetic Design
Authors: Panaita Elena
Published: October 2023

This paper considers a new form of graphic novel that combines the potentials of print and Virtual Reality [VR] storytelling. The novel ‘Upgraded Gods’, now in its final year of development, uses an autobiographical narrative to consider the nature and impact of malignant and collective narcissism in contemporary Russian society. The thesis asks, ‘How might one employ physical and virtual modes of storytelling to enhance empathetic experience in a narrative that considers the nature and impact of malignant narcissism?’ Goldner-Vukov & Moore (2010) identify malignant narcissism as a severe personality disorder that has “devastating consequences for the family and society” (p. 392), while traumatic childhood experiences are considered foundational to the development of malignant narcissism. Covington (2018) suggests that leaders can only enact a narcissistic abuse of power when they receive the support from a traumatised society that searches for “a charismatic leader who will promise to restore power and status to the group” (p. 255). Employing an autoethnographic methodology activated by heuristic inquiry, the study develops an immersive narrative that follows a protagonist through her childhood in the USSR, through the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, into her exile and subsequent analysis of contemporary Russian politics and society. The significance of the research lies in its employment of creative practice to contribute embodied experience to wider theoretical discourses that consider the dynamics of power abuse through social and political aggression. Specifically, the study also examines the manner in which traumatic experiences may affect individuals' wellbeing, and shape social institutions and economics, contributing to the rise of far-right, nationalist, and fundamentalist movements. In the realm of graphic novel design, such analyses may be identified in a emerging trajectory of autobiographical literary works such as "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi, "Gast" by Carol Swain, and “Commute” by Erin Williams.
Development Paths of Trust Research Methodology in Emerging Economies in the Phenomenology of K.E. Løgstrup
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Voevodina Ekaterina V.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzed the specifics of trust in the concept of K.E. Løgstrup. The aim – is to describe a new meth-odological path for the study of trust in the emerging economies based on the phenomenology and ethics of K.E. Løgstrup. The research methodology is based on the synthesis of sources, including the works of K.E. Løgstrup and other representatives of the phenomenological paradigm (V. Vēvere, M. Friederickson, P. Brown), as well as international trust studies (Edelman Trust Barometer, McKinsey, PwC). Based on K.E. Løgstrup’s concept, a scheme of trust reproduction in intersubjective communications characterized by spontaneity, free-dom of choice, immediacy and contextuality is suggested. In trust reproduction, individuals should rely on commonly shared ethical requirements, possessing such qualities as interest in the “other”, openness and vul-nerability. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that socio-ethical mechanisms of trust are of great importance in transforming economic relations, which strengthens the interest in the concept of K.E. Løgstrup and the applica-tion of interpretative-phenomenological methods in this area of research.
Relationship between Parents’ Self-Actualization Level and Peculiarities of Their Attitude towards the Child in Primary School Age
Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University, Prokhorenko Ekaterina O.
Published: October 2023

The article presents the results of the study of the relationship between the process of parents’ self-actualization and the peculiarities of their attitude towards their children of primary school age, which are found in the communication and interaction of mother or father with the child. It is emphasized that the parent acts as a significant adult in the eyes of primary school students, which is due to the psychological features of their age, so that its influence on the formation of minors’ personality is pronounced and appears to be conditioned by the parent’s own level of psychological maturity, which finds its expression in his desire for self-improvement and self-realization outside the family. Such a position of an adult seems to be a prerequisite for a positive parental attitude to the child and building a constructive interaction with him. During the study it was revealed that a high level of self-actualization of a significant adult (parent) mediates the formation of family relations with a child of primary school age on the principles of acceptance, cooperation, absence of educa-tional confrontation, and emotional closeness.

Published: October 2023

This paper is intended to raise the problems of implementing inclusive school education in St. Petersburg. In-clusive education allows to improve socialization of children with special needs, promotes mutual understand-ing. Moreover, it reduces prejudice and strengthens social inclusion. Equally, it develops social justice, which is very important for these children. To develop these elements, several forms of inclusive education are being implemented. Inclusive education is a system that is based on the flexibility of the curriculum, taking into ac-count the contextual characteristics and needs of each of the students, which allows them to receive education most effectively. Within the framework of the topic, an applied study was conducted on the problems of imple-menting inclusive education in public schools in St. Petersburg. The study is based on the analysis of data ob-tained from a survey conducted among teachers, school administration, parents of typical students and stu-dents with special needs.
Re-vitalising Locality in Indigenous Tebango Buddhism: Social and Cultural Capitals for Community Wellbeing
Authors: Muchammadun Muchammadun , Amrulloh Zaenudin , Aditya Rahadiyand
Published: October 2023

The number of Sasak followers of the indigenous beliefs on Tebango, North Lombok has shrunk significantly since 1965. The causes are complex yet principally it is external pressure to relinquish these traditions, often derogatorily labelled as ‘syncretistic, that has forced many Sasak to abandon their ancestral beliefs for one of the state-recognised religions. Nevertheless, the recent Constitutional Court Decision 97/2016, followed by the Circular Letter (2018) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Republic of Indonesia, prompts a re-examination and Revitalization of identity. The paper examines key aspects of this question relevant to contemporary discussions regarding the Tebango Buddhism beliefs. It explores the etymology of the word ‘syncretism’ and highlights the problematic use of the word in Indonesian Studies as reflecting European Orientalist perceptions of non-European cultures whose value judgements are no longer relevant. This paper argues that the dynamics and changes of Tebango Buddha is actually far more historically recent than often thought. Tebango Buddhism beliefs may be understood as the complex outcome of Lombok’s long and dynamic interaction with the wider pesisir world of the archipelago, notably Java during the time of the wali songo, which cannot be simplistically dismissed as ‘syncretism’. A better understanding of this history may contribute to contemporary religious education and community wellbeing in order that young Indonesian Muslims develop a more nuanced, and less biased, understanding of the extraordinary rich – and diverse – history of religion in Indonesia.

Published: October 2023

Background

Congenital pulmonary hypoplasia (CPH) is a rare pulmonary disease featured by incomplete development of pulmonary tissues. Its diagnosis is still a challenge as patients are usually misdiagnosed as atelectasis.

Case presentation

A female neonate was admitted to our hospital due to post-birth jaundice for 12 hrs. Physical examination showed accelerated breathing. There was no respiratory sound in the left lung. Chest film indicated decline of lucency in the left lung. Chest CT scan indicated absence of left lung and primary bronchus of the left lung. The boundary between left mediastinum was not clearly displayed. Three-dimensional CT scan indicated absence of left lung and left principal bronchus. Cardiac ultrasonography confirmed congenital heart disease. She showed ectopic kidney. Finally, she was diagnosed with CPH concurrent with congenital heart disease and ectopic kidney.

Conclusions

On 17-month follow-up visit, the patient is still survived, but she presents with obstruction in ventilation function.
