Published: October 2021

Digital transformation, one of the key areas of change management in the digital age, is defined as a process of changes by the means of using IR technologies in firm's operation. The extant literature suggests that implementation of digital technologies could improve communication, information flow, thus contributing towards value creation and firm performance. Notwithstanding of scarce financial, human resources and strategic capabilities to adopt new technologies among SMEs (Lee et al., 2020), the firm structure, which is more flexible as compared to large firms, offers opportunity in terms of quick decision making (Ghobakhloo & Ching, 2019) for the owner to adapt the firm's business model with market changes and implement necessary changes to sustain in the business. Moreover, previous studies indicate SMEs gained benefit from technology adoption. Nevertheless, transformation towards digitalisation requires a considerable judgement of decision, investment and effort by management and among the employees.

Theoretical aspects of forming the economic potential of a territorial community: a synergetic approach
Authors: Kovtun I. B. , Tereshchenko T. V.
Published: October 2021

The article is devoted to highlighting the author’s views on the theoretical aspects of the application of a synergetic approach to the formation of the economic potential of the modern territorial community. It is established that the potential of the territorial community characterizes many opportunities for its development in terms of using the full range of its resources, features of the past, current and planned structure of its economy, geographical location and other factors. Systematic, reproductive and resource approaches to determining the content of economic potential are described. Particular attention is paid to the system approach, which allows to reveal such aspects to the interpretation of the content of economic potential as elemental, structural, functional, integral and historical. The content and elements of the economic potential of the territorial community are proposed to be considered from the point of view of its resource provision; ability to structure and readiness to carry out socio-economic transformations; formation of the market environment; level and quality of community life; areas of implementation. It is established that since the economic potential of a territorial community is a complex heterogeneous system, synergetics should be applied to its study, which allows to explain the complexity and diversity of social relations and processes occurring in the territorial community, as well as to substantiate the content and logic of its economic potential. The formation of the economic potential of the territory should take into account the systemic principles of the synergetic concept, namely: self-organization; self-reproduction; subordination; openness; resonant influence; instability; constant fluctuations; bifurcation of development; multivariate development; dynamic hierarchy; nonlinearity; interconnection, interaction and interchangeability of system elements.

The article explores an approach to ensuring widespread and constant web access for society, state, and the world scientific community to relevant, complete, reliable, and historical data on all the results of fulfilling its statutory tasks both for the NAS of Ukraine as a whole entity and for each of its subjects separately. The same data is proposed to be used to significantly improve the internal production activities of the Academy: automation of monitoring and control of performance indicators of each subject of the Academy, automation of the assessment and certification processes of their activities, automated generation, and analysis of any reporting data on this activity. The purpose of the article is to disseminate in the scientific society of Ukraine the original concept of the systemic digital transformation of the NAS of Ukraine, which, according to the authors, presupposes, first of all, the current registration of the official results of scientific, scientific and technical, scientific and organizational, coordination, innovative, scientific and pedagogical and other activities of the Academy as a whole and each of its subjects by all scientific and leading personnel of the Academy with the corresponding automatic publication of this data about results on the public portal www.nas.gov.ua and corporate Intranet portals with authorized access for internal production use. The means of results registration are based on corporate cloud services, access to which is carried out under the digitized current job statuses of an employee in the NAS of Ukraine, membership in collegial bodies, and statuses of work orders. The first stages in the practical implementation of the concept confirmed the effectiveness of the developed approach.

Authors: Ovcharenko O.V.
Published: October 2021

The article analyzes the existing approaches and methods to assess the economic security of the region. Certain features were identified during assessing the level of economic security of the region, namely: there are different approaches to the formation of a system of indicators for assessing the economic security of regions, their number, aggregation; the complexity of calculating indicators; availability of information; mathematical tools that are used to calculate indicators of economic security of regions. As a result of the analysis, a comprehensive approach to assessing the economic security of regions is proposed, which involves a sequence of certain stages: 1) grouping of the regions of Ukraine using cluster analysis methods according to the main socio-economic indicators to determine the state of their socio-economic development; 2) calculation of the integral indicator of the economic security of the region using a fuzzy-logical approach, which will allow comparing the state of the economic security of the region both with other regions of Ukraine and with regions of other countries of the world; 3) assessment of the level of threats that affect the economic security of the region using expert assessments for 7 groups of threats (industrial and technological nature; financial; organizational and legal; social and demographic; technogenic environmental; environmental pollution; information); 4) SWOT analysis for the study the strengths and weaknesses of the region, threats and opportunities, in order to further use the data obtained to develop a concept and strategy for the activities of regional authorities to improve the socio-economic situation of the region. 5) the use of an effective approach, which is based on the assessment of GRP per capita, as a generalized indicator of the economic security of the region, to assess the possibility of economic growth in the region.

Published: October 2021

Forests are the primary ecosystem on earth that preserves natural resources. This paper aims to identify the forest loss percentage in the Selangor River Basin areas from 1990 to 2020. The objectives are to analyze (i) the pattern of forest loss in the Selangor River Basin area and (ii) the land-cover changes in the study area using a change detection analysis. Datasets of four clear cloud images were based upon to produce the land-cover map and identify the forest loss. Landsat images were employed to detect the land-cover changes. The Landsat images’ methodology of land-cover classification was unsupervised pixel-based classification methods using maximum likelihoods. The specific land cover includes forest, built-up area, bare land, vegetation, water bodies, and cloud. The result showed that the forest areas decreased from 108546.93 hectares in 1990 to 70239.33 hectares in 2020, representing a class change of 17.05 percent. A drastic increase was also noted in the built-up area from 1407.51 hectares in 1990 to 43128.27 hectares in 2020, and this category of land cover increased by 18.56 percent over the 30-year timeline. The factors contributing to the forest loss include anthropogenic factors as the most important cause of land cover change. Urbanization, a lack of forest guards, and a failure to implement policies were all identified as human activities causing the loss of the forest and the rise of the built-up area. A DPSIR framework was produced to provide the relevant indicators and allow policymakers to contribute input on environmental concerns of the future impact in policy development. This framework act as a contribution in efforts to conserve natural resources through policy formulation.

Published: October 2021

Destructive leadership research is neither much studied by the researchers, nor their styles are studied together in the previous literature. This paper adds aversive and autocratic leadership (two shades of destructive leadership) to the investigation, particularly the Pakistani context, which has not been studied before. This paper further proposes that psychological contract breach (PCB) results from the aversive and autocratic leadership due to their destructiveness. The model also gets its support from the COR theory by [47]. People with proactive personalities were hypothesized to moderate the two relations. However, the results supported only two hypotheses. However, the moderation effect was found to be insignificant. It is a cross-sectional study. The data for the current study were collected from 386 nurses working in the public sector hospitals by questionnaires. Quota and convenient sampling techniques were used for the person. In addition to limitations and suggestions for future researchers, the theoretical and practical implications are also provided conclusively. Limitations to the study and suggestions for future examination alongside theoretical and practical implications are also stated.

Published: October 2021

The Mahakam lake cascade consists of Jempang, Melintang, and Semayang lakes. The cascade lakes have a complex hydrological system; the three lakes merged with the Mahakam River when flooding. Generally, analysis like that focuses on each lake; however, the cascade lakes are analyzed as a system in this research. In the dry season, the water is receding, and in the riparian part is becoming dry land even it is only left on the depth channel that is flooded. The extreme recede condition happened in 1997 during 192 days; however, the longest extreme flood condition lasted for 63 days in 2006. The lake function, which should be able to reduce the flood, cannot work optimally. Floods in this area happened every rainy season. This research intends to analyze the design flood that can still be stored by the storage capacity in each cascade lake (Jempang, Melintang, and Semayang). Therefore, the lake function for reducing the flood in this area can be optimized. The methodology consists of measuring water level depth in the lake multiplying by the lake section area, then conversed into discharge using the rational method. The lake boundaries were determined by spatial analyses that is GIS application. The result shows that the design flood in each lake is varied and depends on each lake capacity. The capacity of the Jempang lake is only for the design flood Q25, about 388.33 m3/s; the Melintang lake can only store the design flood Q10 that is about 140.10 m3/s, and the Semayang lake is only able to store the design flood Q25 that is about 82.05 m3/s. This result can be used as a reference to design the optimization model for reducing the flood downstream.

Published: October 2021

This study aimed to assess insider trading on a trading buying and selling shares in the capital market. Besides, it also evaluated investors' legal protection against insider trading that occurred in the capital market under the provisions of capital markets act 8 of 1995. The primary consideration of the choice of these studies is that this study was to examine the theoretical legal protection of investors in the practice of insider trading in the stock market, with the interpretation of Juridical Capital Markets Act, No 8 of 1995. This research approach uses the statute and case approaches, which refer to legislation and approaches based on cases. Capital markets have a strategic role in national development as one source of financing for the business and investment vehicle for the community. Capital markets are alternative funding for both public and private. Once the magnitude of the role of capital markets in national economic development did not rule violations contrary to the principles of disclosure of information, other than that the weak supervision system by the manager or supervisor stock exchange, can lead to insider trading. Insider trading can occur when someone is doing a transaction with a buy or sell stock based on material information and has not been open to the public obtained from a company insider. Insider trading can result in losses for investors who do not receive the same information. Investors who did not receive such information do not have the same opportunity to make a profit because so requires legal protection. Legal protection can be either preventive or repressive.

Published: October 2021

The increase in air temperature, which is quite extreme due to climate change, causes the comfort level of outdoor activities to be increasingly disturbed. Various efforts have been made to overcome the increase in air temperature by creating a greener environment and providing vegetation. This study aims to produce a pattern of vegetation distribution and its effect on the climate for decreasing outdoor air temperature in the Old City of Semarang, Indonesia. The data used in this study are primary in the form of air temperature data at 09.30 WIB and data on regional vegetation conditions at four stations. Secondary data is also used, mainly in real-time monitoring of regional activities on CCTV Online media owned by the Semarang City government. The data analysis method uses GIS and Ecotec-based spatial simulations and descriptive statistical data analysis methods to obtain vegetation distribution patterns and characteristics. The result is that the presence of vegetation as much as 5% of the total land area is still less influential in reducing air temperature due to climate change. The difference between this research and previous research is that it is located in a cultural heritage area. It requires special attention in providing vegetation so as not to damage the physical structure of the building. This study also found that the density of human activities around the vegetation site can inhibit microclimate modification. The vegetation coverage factor greatly affects the microclimate produced in the surrounding area.

Published: October 2021

Coal is a sedimentary rock containing approximately 50% to 70% carbon derived from the accumulation of plant residue that had undergone chemical and physical changes. In this research, the petrographic analysis method of coal was conducted based on the following parameters, measuring vitrinite reflectance (Ro%), estimation of moisture, volatile matter, and carbon-hydrogen content. This study aims to determine the zonation of coal rank through the vitrinite reflectance analysis in Maura Enim Formation. The samples observed were obtained from the Muara Enim Formation, which had undergone certain geological events to form lignite and anthracite coal ranks, then analyzed using the descriptive method. The results showed that the reflectance value of vitrinite was between 0.20% - 0.44%, which was utilized in the sorting of coal from lignite - sub-bituminous, according to ASTM D2798-06 (2006). Furthermore, in the Southwest region, coal is formed through greater pressure than those in the Northeast. Generally, the level of difference is caused by pressure, temperature, and time factor. Therefore, this study is recommended as a guideline in determining coal rank through vitrinite reflectance analysis in different formations.

The objective of this work is to identify and analyze the representations of a sample of Moroccan learners of the sixth year of primary school regarding the Electricity concept, which, to our knowledge, has never been done before and to raise teachers’ awareness and encourage them to improve their pedagogical practices concerning the management of the representations of their learners. The choice of the school level and the concept are justified respectively by the certifying status of this level and by the existence of prejudices from the social and family environment (Moroccan dialectal) about the concepts “Electricity and Light”. To this end, a survey was elaborated and administered to a sample of 80 learners in the sixth year of primary school. Considering the important role of teachers in processing representations, we also investigated the teaching practices of a sample of 50 teachers and their representations of the concepts “Electricity and Light”. The main results have shown that almost half of the learners (46,25℅) still confused the concept “Electricity” with the concept “Light”, and the majority (94℅) thought that batteries contained electricity. These same representations, with practically the same rate, have been found among teachers as well. Concerning the management of the learners’ representations, most of the teachers have declared that they didn’t exploit them in class and explained their persistence by the fact that these erroneous representations originated from the learners’ family and social environment.

This research aims to identify the best practices implemented by school teachers in Palestine online during COVID-19. A qualitative approach was used to explore in-depth the best practices through two focus group sessions composed of 24 different specialty teachers from different schools. Moreover, semi-structured interviews with 10 teachers were also conducted to listen to their lived experiences and how they sustain teaching and communicating with their students. A grounded theory was used to analyze and categorize the qualitative data. The findings of this study are unique and novel since no other studies related to online learning were done during COVID- 19 in Palestine to support best practices that teachers should adopt. Moreover, the results will benefit teachers to rejuvenate and adapt their methods and strategies in different ways to fit learners’ needs. The results revealed that teachers use many free tools such as Google Classroom and Zoom and spend a lot of time understanding and learning about these tools. Teachers were eager to explore and use new teaching strategies to engage their students and support them emotionally during the COVID-19 crisis. Additionally, teachers were committed to their social responsibilities during the crisis, weremotivatedand self-learners, as they asserted by exchanging experiences with colleagues. This study could be used to adapt experiences to other scenarios, so teachers can benefit from the findings of the studyand can transfer them to other contexts.It is recommended to conduct a mixed approach for generalization purposes for further investigation.
