Geographical indication tag for agricultural produces: Challenges and methods
Authors: Nirosha R. , Mansingh J. Paul
Published: July 2024

Geographical Indication (GI) highlights the origin and excellence of products unique to various locations. In 1999, India introduced GI to comply with the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement. GI in India can be divided into three basic categories: agri-food, natural commodities, handicrafts, and/or industrial items. According to reports, more than 4000 products in India are eligible for registration under the GI Act. However, the present number of GI registrations, especially in the agricultural and food sectors, is much lower than its potential. India's National Intellectual Property Rights Policy actively encourages GI protection and progress through supportive agencies. These institutions assist GI producers in defining and upholding acceptable quality standards, thereby enhancing marketability. Even though products labeled with GI tags adhere to superior quality standards, geographical indications (GIs) encounter various challenges in India. Nonetheless, there are potential solutions to address these issues. The challenges include the lack of awareness among producers and farmers regarding the registration process, post-GI schemes, and subsidies. Moreover, there is insufficient infrastructure resources to promote and market GI-tagged products. Additionally, GI-tagged products have a limited presence in domestic and international markets due to ineffective marketing strategies, the absence of postproduction control, and unethical market practices. A robust enforcement mechanism is required in both domestic and export markets. This paper discusses the challenges faced by GI agricultural produce and proposes a way forward for GI crops.

Published: July 2024

This study examines the intricate interdependence of organisational management control systems (MCS), sustainability integration, and financial reporting. Empirical analysis highlights the need for a holistic and multi-faceted integration of internal systems, particularly across management accounting, financial reporting, and sustainability. The research outlines the challenges and benefits of embedding sustainability principles into management systems, demonstrating potential gains in efficiency, risk mitigation, and competitive advantage. One of the critical conclusions that emerged based on the conducted study is related to the perception of Managerial Discretion. Acknowledging the invariance of top management roles and behaviours is crucial when designing reporting systems. Tailoring the system to the specific environmental conditions the organisation faces is essential, striving for a balance between maximising opportunities and maintaining control. Comprehensive integration between management accounting, financial reporting, and sustainability systems addresses concerns about the disparity in sophistication between financial and sustainability performance indicators. A one-size-fits-all approach is impractical, necessitating a distinct project approach for each organisation when implementing the reporting management function. It is suggested that organisations should be diversified according to their size and maturity level in order to identify specific and concrete measures aimed at building an effective reporting system. The author enhanced the critical role of top management in defining, designing, and implementing a practical reporting governance framework. This framework should ensure alignment with the organisation's strategic objectives and needs. A successful organisational structure hinges on establishing and maintaining the "tone at the top". By promoting a positive "tone at the top," management fosters a sustainable and successful corporate culture, paving the way for future development and achieving strategic goals. These conclusions offer valuable insights for organisations seeking to establish robust and effective reporting systems that support informed decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and sustainable value creation.

Authors: Dmytrenko Viktoriia , Khairulina Nailia , Brovko Olena , Kryzhanovska Olha , Perepadia Daria
Published: July 2024

The academic paper is devoted to exploring the newest approaches within the cross-cultural discourse of philological studies. The cross-cultural approach as a scientific basis for linguistic and literary studies emerged in the 30 s of the last century as a counterweight to ethnocentric studies; however, the boundaries of this discourse have now been significantly expanded and modified. Cross-cultural studies are less and less opposed to ethnocentric studies of national literatures and more and more tend to cross-cultural comparison. The primary purpose of the present academic paper is to analyze the methodological fundamentals and latest approaches of cross-cultural discourse in the system of philological studies, in particular, in the fields of linguistics, literary studies, translation studies, intercultural communication theory and linguoculturology. The semantic field of the concepts of “cross-cultural discourse”, “cross-cultural literary discourse”, “cross-cultural literature” and “cross-cultural research” has been outlined. The following newer approaches are distinguished in the cross-cultural discourse: comparative, anthropological, communicative, hermeneutical, which focuses on deciphering cultural codes, and conceptual. It is determined that cross-cultural interpenetration is most often observed in bilingual authors’ works. The researchers consider their texts as a synthesis of heterogeneous cultural elements, which results in a new multicultural artistic space that requires special tools for analysis.

Published: July 2024

The period of education in secondary educational institutions is deemed fundamental for instilling essential skills in students, as defined by recent legislation as competencies, upon which the overall quality of education hinges. These competencies, upon transition to higher education, evolve into professional qualities and specialized characteristics critical for career advancement. Social and civic competencies attained by education seekers determine an individual's communicative potential, ability to foster relationships, diplomatic prowess, understanding of equality, accountability for commitments and obligations, critical thinking aptitude, readiness to compromise, and teamwork proficiency. The adolescent and youth stage is perhaps the most pivotal for grasping the significance of these competencies. Consequently, educators must concentrate on devising constructive strategies for engaging with student and youth populations to cultivate fundamental social skills, facilitated through cooperative activities, group projects, collective interaction, and similar approaches. The study's outcomes affirm the imperative of nurturing social competences among education seekers and delineate effective collaboration methods. The article underscores that integrating group cooperation into the educational process expedites and fosters the development of social skills in teenagers and students.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly vital in e-commerce, especially investment management. AI can enhance decision-making processes, risk analysis, and trend forecasting. However, legal aspects must be considered to prevent abuses and ensure the legality and ethics of AI use in investment management. Data collection and analysis are crucial stages in investment management. Compliance with data protection legislation is essential when using AI for automated decision-making in investment processes. Ethical considerations must be considered as these decisions can impact individuals' financial interests. Therefore, it is crucial that such systems are transparent and adhere to ethical standards. Determining who is responsible for the outcomes of AI decisions made in investment management is also essential. Software developers, system operators, and financial advisors may use AI to support their decisions. However, using AI can make them vulnerable to cyberattacks and affect the security of financial operations. Therefore, it is crucial to develop systems with high data protection levels and check them for vulnerabilities. Investment management in e-commerce may have an international dimension, which raises questions about compliance with international standards and regulatory requirements in AI. Artificial intelligence in investment management in e-commerce offers numerous opportunities to improve process efficiency and accuracy. However, it is crucial to ensure that such applications comply with legal norms, ethical principles, and security requirements. Only this approach will maximise AI's benefits in investment management while ensuring the legality and ethics of technology use.

Published: July 2024

Islamic mobile apps are one of the most popular and have achieved the highest downloads in the app store. As it relates to holy religious content, several factors need to be considered, particularly in its development. During the app's development, credibility, authenticity, and accurate information are crucial in any religious app, which is trustworthy and good-quality Islamic mobile apps. To produce this type of app, app developers, particularly Muslims, need to have certain values or ethics when developing Islamic apps. Good internal aspects of a Muslim app's developer will show in their behaviors and deeds, which can be associated with Islamic work ethics. Thus, this paper aims to produce a conceptual framework that can be used as guidance for a Muslim app's developer. Activities such as literature reviews and semi-structured interviews have been used in developing the conceptual framework. By the end of the activities, the framework had been developed. The guideline criteria were derived from two points of view, internal and external, as discussed in the model of human nature by Al-Ghazali, which has been selected as the base of the study. Then, other criteria were determined to fix both internal and external aspects to develop the initial framework. The criteria for Islamic working ethics were referred to as al-birr and masuliyyah for the external aspect and taqwa and ihsan for the internal aspect. In addition, since internal aspects were related to internal spirits, which may relate to the emotional and spiritual intelligence of a Muslim, this study also proposed the use of the Al-Fatihah chapter as a prominent guide in the framework. It is hoped that the guidelines can be useful for Muslims who are developing Islamic mobile apps.

Authors: Gupta Manoj , Vashishth Tarun Kumar , Verma Pushpendra Kumar
Published: July 2024

The inherent security weaknesses of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks can lead to serious consequences, with Blackhole attacks being particularly challenging due to their stealthy nature. This research paper introduces a novel approach  that system utilizes powerful computer algorithms to learn from network data and effectively detect intrusions in mobile ad-hoc networks, making them more secure. Machine learning and deep learning are two powerful techniques that can be used to detect blackhole attacks in mobile ad-hoc networks. Machine learning systems can be cast-off to learn the normal behaviour of the net-work and then identify any deviations from that behaviour as potential attacks. Deep learning techniques can learn more complex patterns in the data, which can make them more effective at detecting blackhole at-tacks. This paper proposes a machine learning and deep learning based intrusion recognition organization for blackhole attacks in MANETs. The system uses a combination of machine learning and deep learning systems to learn the normal behaviour of the network and then identify any deviations from that behaviour as potential attacks.

The current study investigates the effect of perceived organizational support on job adjustment and retention rates among expatriate employees, as well as the role of self-regulation as a moderator. This study employed a quantitative method in explanatory research with the purpose of explaining the pattern of correlation between the concepts hypothesized. The technique of simple random sampling has been practiced towards the targeted population of expatriates working in the international education sector in Vietnam. With a sample size of 357 respondents, the specific analytical method, regression, moderated multiple regression, and PLS-SEM, was conducted to test the hypotheses constructed in this research. Results indicated that perceived organizational support had a positive impact on job adjustment, and job adjustment had a positive effect on expatriate retention. This study also has shown a significant impact on expatriate retention strategy, and most of the self-regulation components were related to planning and performance outcomes for expatriates’ employees. It was also discovered that job adjustment mediates the relationship between perceived organizational support and expatriate retention. The results of this study, utilizing a specific conceptual structure, may also lead to expatriate retention in an emergent economy like Vietnam and can provide a significant avenue for more analysis. This study speculates that before expatriates are hired to work in the higher education sector in Vietnam, they should be made aware of the complexities of working in a foreign country with a mostly homogeneous workforce and emphasize positive and proactive behavior to counter stress, challenges and embrace seamless adaptation. This study is one of few that comprehensively investigate the relationship between perceived organizational support (IV), expatriate retention (DV), self-regulation (moderator) and job adjustment (mediator). The novelty of this research is in its effort to observe the moderation of self-regulation with job adjustment and expatriate retention. In this study, the perceived organizational support, job adjustment and expatriate retention have a positive relationship between these variables. Furthermore, it is the first to test the model on the international education sector in Vietnam.

This study delved into examining the interplay among TQM, GM, RSK, and OP, alongside exploring the moderating influence of IT infrastructure within these relationships in organizations. Drawing from a sample of 361 owners/managers in north-western Nigeria, the research focused on managers due to their comprehensive understanding of organizational dynamics. Employing the PLS-PM algorithm, the analysis revealed that GM and TQM significantly influence OP directly, while the association between IT infrastructure and RSK was not statistically significant. Additionally, the study shed light on the moderating role of IT infrastructure, particularly in the relationship between GM and OP, an area less explored in previous research. These findings underscore the importance of proactive approaches and innovation to foster organizational success, with TQM and GM policies emerging as crucial factors for sustaining and enhancing OP in SME manufacturing organizations.
