Published: October 2024

This research aims to analyze the influence of profitability, dividend policy and institutional ownership on Stock Pricesboth simultaneously and partially. The sample used in this research was 41 banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during the period 2020 to 2022, resulting in a total of 123 observation data. The analytical method used is multiple regression analysis. The results of the analysis show that simultaneously, profitability, dividend policy and institutional ownership have a significant influence on Stock Prices. However, partially, profitability does not have a significant influence on Stock Prices. On the other hand, dividend policy was found to have a positive and significant influence on Stock Prices, indicating that a consistent and profitable dividend policy can increase investor interest and Stock Prices. Institutional ownership also has a significant effect on Stock Prices, indicating that ownership by financial institutions can give the market more confidence regarding the company's prospects. This research provides a better understanding of the factors that influence Stock Pricesin the banking sector in Indonesia and can be a reference for investors in making better investment decisions.

Virtual Assistant for Local Government Units Using BERT-Based Natural Language Processing
Authors: Casas Joshua A. , Villafuerte Ritchell S. , Paragas Jessie R.
Published: October 2024

Local Government Units (LGUs) play a critical role in public service delivery, yet they often encounter challenges such as limited resources, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and high volumes of citizen inquiries. To address these issues, this paper proposes the development of a virtual assistant powered by Natural Language Processing (NLP), specifically utilizing the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model. This assistant is designed to automate the handling of common citizen inquiries, thereby enhancing the efficiency of service delivery. The virtual assistant was implemented as a web application using the Django framework, with an evaluation based on ISO 9126 standards, including aspects of functionality, reliability, usability, and efficiency. The findings demonstrate that the BERT-based NLP system significantly improves the responsiveness and accuracy of LGU services, leading to enhanced citizen satisfaction and more streamlined public service operations. The model achieved an Exact Match score of 48.0 and an F1 score of 68.01, indicating its effectiveness in accurately understanding and responding to citizen queries. Additionally, the system scored highly in usability, efficiency, maintainability, and portability, confirming its ease of use and operational effectiveness. These results give rather strong evidence that the use of the NLP-driven virtual assistant can be beneficial for increasing the citizen satisfaction and improving the effectiveness of the public service delivery.

Published: October 2024

This study contributes to the entrepreneurial gestation behaviour literature based on data from an under-researched developing country context. Specifically, it explores the influence of entrepreneurial competencies (EC) on entrepreneurial gestation behaviour (EGB) as well as the mediating role of entrepreneurial intention (EI). Predicated on a quantitative research design with survey questionnaire data from 393 respondents, the research findings indicate that each of the EC elements is positively related to EGB. Moreover, all the mediation effects of EI on relationships between EGB and each EC element are statistically significant. The EC elements included ideation, modelling, planning and implementation alongside prior entrepreneurial exposure (PEE) and entrepreneurial education (EE). The foregoing conclusions imply that policymakers and enterprise support institutions may facilitate the establishment of entrepreneurship support mechanisms to help university students identify and grow their competencies and accelerate the transition from intention to actual business gestation. Lastly, educators may consider enhancing practical entrepreneurship education and linkages to institutional support for the entrepreneurial process.

Authors: Salleh Kaharudin Md. , Lokman Eleanor Daniella , Ma’mur Dzulfikkar Baitul , Ibrahim Nurul Shuhada , Yahaya Mohd Zukri
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the impact of changes in salinity on the survival rate of Amphiprion ocellaris, commonly known as the Common Clownfish. The aim is to ascertain the minimum salinity threshold that clownfish can tolerate, thereby offering valuable insights for professionals and researchers in the field of ornamental fish. This study utilized ten fully-grown clownfish, all of which were over one year old and had an average length of 38 mm and weight of 1.50 g. Every fish was placed in a carefully regulated tank where the salinity was systematically reduced by around 3 parts per thousand (ppt) every week, beginning from an initial salinity of 32.42 ppt. The weekly monitoring involved the assessment of water quality indices, including dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, and pH. Clownfish exhibited indications of distress, such as reduced appetite and depigmentation, when exposed to a salinity of 8 parts per thousand (ppt). Death occurred when the salinity was decreased to 7 ppt, indicating their incapacity to survive below 10 ppt. These findings suggest that common clownfish are not appropriate for freshwater environments and necessitate specific salinity levels in order to flourish. These findings have practical consequences for the ornamental fish industry, underscoring the significance of maintaining suitable salt levels to avoid misinformation and financial setbacks. Additional investigation should focus on the possibility of raising clownfish in settings with reduced salinity to improve their ability to adapt and better aquaculture techniques.
Foreign Investment Flows and Stock Market Performance in Nigeria
Authors: Werigbelegha Ph.D Andabai, Priye
Published: October 2024

This study looks at how foreign investment flows affected Nigeria’s stock market performance from 1994 to 2023. The paper utilised an ex-post facto research approach, and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) bulletin, 2023, offered the data for analysis. Market capitalisation (MCAP) was the dependent variable in the study, and the independent variables used to measure foreign investment flows were foreign direct investment inflows (FDINF), outflows (FDIOUF), inflows from foreign portfolio investments (FPINF), and outflows from foreign portfolio investments (FPIOUT). The study tested the proposed hypotheses using the Ordinary Least Squares estimation approach. In order to determine the dependent variable, market capitalisation, the research examined the effects of four independent variables: FPI inflow, FDI inflows, and FPI outflows. The results show that the influx of FDI has little effect on market capitalisation. Outflows of FDI have a big effect on market capitalisation. Inflows of foreign portfolio investments have little effect on market capitalisation. Outflows from foreign portfolio investments dramatically increase the capitalisation of the stock market. As per the r2, changes in foreign investment variables in Nigeria may account for around 59% of the variations in stock market performance within the Nigerian economy. According to the study’s findings, foreign investment flows significantly affect Nigeria’s market capitalisation. Suggestions include promoting foreign direct investment inflows continuously, encouraging domestic companies to invest overseas, improving market transparency to draw in foreign portfolio investment inflows, and cautiously promoting outward investments to avoid excessive capital outflows.

Published: October 2024

The preservation of poultry stock can be improved by incorporating therapeutic and preventive agents, including hepatoprotectors, into the diet. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an experimental drug containing hepatoprotectors on the health of broiler chickens. The research sought to identify the potential of the preparation to enhance liver function and overall poultry stock survival. The study was conducted from 2023 to 2024 at Odesa State Agrarian University. Investigations were carried out to assess the effects of the experimental preparation in the following doses: 1.0 g/kg body weight (therapeutic dose), 2.0 g/kg body weight (double therapeutic dose), and 5.0 g/kg body weight (fivefold therapeutic dose) over 30 days. The experiment was conducted on 500 Cobb 500 broiler chickens aged 1 to 40 days. Additionally, biochemical blood parameters were measured and analysed using a Polish biochemical selective automatic analyser, the Hitachi 902. Studies have established that the optimal dose of the experimental drug for hepatosis in broiler chickens is 1.0 g/kg body weight. After administration of the drug, the serum bilirubin content decreased by 27.3%, lactate dehydrogenase activity decreased by 17.1%, aspartate aminotransferase activity decreased by 16.4%, alanine aminotransferase activity decreased by 19.3%, and vitamin A content increased by 25.6%, while the phagocytic activity of pseudoeosinophils increased by 23.1%. The results of the studies have proven that the experimental drug normalises liver function, positively affects the biochemical composition of blood, promotes growth, provides protection and natural resistance of the broiler organism, and even improves the quality of poultry products. Based on the above, it is necessary to improve methods for early diagnosis of liver function disorders in poultry and apply effective methods for correcting metabolic processes

Published: October 2024

The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of biostimulants, such as humic acid preparation, Seaweed algae extract and microbial preparation BaikalEM, on plant growth and yield. The impact of biostimulants on plant development and crop yields was studied on sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) and maize (Zea mays). To achieve this goal, field studies were conducted to compare different biostimulants in terms of germination and yield (total crop weight, weight of a single fruit, sugar, starch and protein content). The study was conducted in April-August 2023 in the Sumy district of the Sumy region. Standard agronomic methods, including soil cultivation, measurement of plant growth and yield parameters, and statistical processing of the data were used in the study. The results showed that humic acids and algae extract, when applied separately, provided the highest seed germination and yield. Among all the variants of combined application, the most significant increase in germination rates for beetroot was provided by treatment with a combination of Seaweed and Baikal-EM – 91.7%. For maize, Seaweed with humic acids and Seaweed with Baikal-EM are 92% each. The combination of Seaweed and humic acids had the best effect on the yield of both crops: 460.9 c/ha for beetroot (compared to 325 c/ha without treatment) and 61 c/ha for corn (41.5 c/ha without treatment). The microbial preparation Baikal also demonstrated a positive effect, but its results were lower, and it proved effective in combination with humic acids. The results obtained indicate the feasibility of using humic acids and algae extract to increase plant productivity, while Baikal can be useful for improving the general condition of soil and plants in combination with other fertilisers

Published: October 2024

In today's fiercely competitive landscape, industries are increasingly embracing lean manufacturing strategies for survival. However, the adoption of lean principles in Jordanian manufacturing sectors remains relatively new. This study aims to evaluate the current state of lean adoption in Jordanian industries, focusing on its techniques, motivations, and challenges. Employing a quantitative methodology, surveys targeted Production, Operation, and Quality Managers in Jordanian organizations. Out of 300 distributed questionnaires, 176 valid responses were received, representing a response rate of 58.7%. The findings indicate a relatively low adoption of lean practices in Jordanian industries, though firms that have implemented lean report significant benefits, particularly in quality enhancement and cost reduction. Key challenges include inadequate training, a scarcity of experts, and complexities in small batch production. While the study's sample size is limited, caution is warranted in interpreting the results. Further empirical research is needed to quantify the performance benefits of lean adoption. This study sheds light on lean adoption in Jordanian manufacturing, informing knowledge development and guiding future efforts to promote lean practices in the industrial landscape.

Analysis of the Variation in Salaries of Employees of Government Ministries in Iraq by Using of The Lorenz Curve and The Gini Coefficient*H.
Authors: Mahdi Haider Khadim
Published: October 2024

The disparity in the distribution of income is one of the main reasons for the failure to achieve  social justice among members of society, which creates an unhealthy environment for workers  in government sectors and institutions and also works to reduce the quality of work and lower  the level of productivity. Conversely, reducing disparity leads to increased productivity and  creates a suitable environment. It contributes to increasing productivity rates and improving  the quality of institutional performance. The research discussed an important topic related to  the extent of the discrepancy between the salaries of employees in Iraqi government institutions  using the Lorenz curve and the Gini coefficient through a presentation of the research problem,  which is the extent of the discrepancy in the salaries of state employees according to the  approved salary scale, and what impact this has on social justice in the distribution of income,  assuming that the adoption of A salary scale set by the authorities is based on reducing financial  disparities between state employees with equal qualifications, such as educational attainment  and work tasks, and reduces disparities of discrimination between workers in various  government sectors and achieves social justice in income distribution. The research concluded  that the actual distribution curve was very close to the symmetry line curve, in addition to the  presence of a very small gap between the two lines, which indicates fairness in the distribution  of monthly salaries among workers in government ministries who are in the fourth degree/first  stage of the approved salary scale. The value of the Gini coefficient complementary to the work  of the Lorenz curve was about (0.4), which means that the value of the Gini coefficient is close  to zero. This indicates that the distribution of salaries of employees of government ministries  is close to equitable distribution.

Authors: Ms. Pranjal Hridaynath Kamble  , Dr. Mangesh Bhople
Published: October 2024

In recent years, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has evolved from a peripheral concern to a central element of business strategy, particularly in developing economies like India. This shift underscores the growing importance of integrating social responsibility into corporate operations, not merely as an ethical obligation but as a strategic imperative that can influence employee behaviour and organizational performance. This research paper investigates the intricate relationship between CSR initiatives and employee engagement, with a focus on how these initiatives can enhance workforce motivation in the Indian context.
Utilizing a multi-method approach that combines qualitative analysis, case studies, and a comprehensive literature review, this study explores the mechanisms through which CSR impacts employee engagement. It emphasizes the significance of aligning CSR efforts with the values and expectations of employees, thereby fostering a sense of belonging, pride, and purpose in their work. The findings reveal a positive correlation between well-implemented CSR initiatives and increased levels of employee motivation, job satisfaction, and organizational loyalty.
Additionally, the research identifies specific types of CSR activities—such as environmental sustainability programs, community engagement, and ethical labour practices—that have proven particularly effective in enhancing employee morale. By presenting real-world examples from leading Indian companies, this paper offers actionable insights for organizations looking to leverage CSR as a tool for improving employee engagement and overall performance.
Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on the role of CSR in shaping employee experiences and organizational outcomes, providing a framework for companies to develop effective CSR strategies that not only benefit society but also cultivate a motivated and engaged workforce.

Something Greater Than Ourselves: Towards Good Academic Management
Authors: Kociatkiewicz Jerzy , Kostera Monika
Published: October 2024

Universities have been with us for centuries if not millennia. The academy is one of the oldest organisational forms still in existence. Throughout their history, universities have evolved, experimenting with various kinds of organisational structure: from student association, through private company, to ecclesiastical, state, or local government institution. They have been continually altering their management structure: from a collective of peers through a centralised hierarchy and a loose federation of faculties to a structure based on deeply democratic collegiality. Currently in Poland, as in many other countries, a series of reforms have put universities under pressure to “marketise.” This paper discusses some of the urgent dilemmas that have arisen after the transformation of the sector and offers some ideas for where sustainable managerial solutions could be sought.
Towards a Hopeful University
Authors: Ciżewska-Martyńska Elżbieta
Published: October 2024

Drawing on insights from sociology and psychology, this paper points at hope as one of the key personal and communal strengths that contemporary academia needs in order to make use of its potential and fulfil its unique mission. It also shows the connection between futures studies, sociological reflection on hope, and the sociological understanding of leadership. The difference between unwarranted optimism and hope is explained, and hope is presented as a deeply creative, active process involving thinking more than feeling. The author argues that modern universities pay too little attention to the positive aspects of life, and thus universities become paradoxically less capable of executing their mission: to be leaders of positive change in every dimension of life, to conduct free research and free debate in which every bit of truth is respected, and to form ethical, wise leaders. Sadly, some fields of knowledge, such as sociology, lack a sufficiently developed theoretical apparatus to confront the problem. This paper concludes with recommendations for Eastern European academia.
Almost Impossible Leadership: Understanding the Crisis in Polish Academia
Authors: Czekierda Piotr
Published: October 2024

Dominant leadership models, derived from business or politics, fail to address the unique nature of academia. This article proposes the integral leadership model, tailored to the specific challenges of universities, particularly in the Polish context. Drawing on data from 36 in-depth interviews and polarity management theory (Johnson, Koestenbaum), the article argues that inherent tensions (polarities) at every level of the academic system are a key factor in understanding leadership complexities. Unlike problems requiring a single solution (A OR B), polarities necessitate managing seemingly opposing elements (A AND B) for long-term effectiveness. This framework sheds light on the challenges faced by academic leadership in Poland across three dimensions: individual, organisational, and moral. Individual challenges include a lack of aspiring leaders and inadequate role models. Organisational challenges stem from prioritising stability over change and individual over team. Moral challenges arise from a lack of clarity about leadership goals and values, resulting in conflicts between excellence and relations (inclusion). The article emphasises the growing need for integral leadership that acknowledges and manages these particular polarities.

Authors: Battumur Maraltsetseg
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the interplay between socio-demographic factors, mental state, and stock price prediction behavior among a sample of 150 individuals in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Participants were tasked with completing incomplete graphs, varying in context in three survey groups, allowing for an exploration of how age, gender, and past value perceptions, and contextual things influence prediction patterns. The research aims to understand the cognitive biases underpinning investment decisions, particularly in a context of limited financial literacy. By analyzing completed graphs, the study identifies distinct decision-making tendencies across age and gender groups. Additionally, it examines whether the type of given context of the graph impacts prediction behavior in a certain way. While emotional bias was found to be less influential, the study reveals significant differences in predictions based on contextual differences, also the study revealed certain age and gender group tendencies bias proneness for certain biases. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of investor psychology and provide insights for financial advisors seeking to tailor strategies based on client demographics.

Предпосылки и цель. В Юго-Восточной Азии гигантская креветка давно стала важным объектом аквакультуры, изначально выращиваемым традиционными неэффективными технологиями. За последние полвека проведено много научных изысканий по выращиванию и разведению пресноводных креветок. Производство креветок существенно усовершенствовалось благодаря внедрению современных интенсивных методов и инновационных технологий. В связи с чем, разработка отечественных методик кормления молоди креветки Розенберга для снижения зависимости от импорта посадочного материала и для расширения производства отечественных производителей имеет большое значение.Материалы и методы. Научная работа проводилась в Казахстанско-Чешском международном научном центре аквакультуры НАО «Казахский агротехнический исследовательский университет им. С.Сейфуллина» (КАТИУ им.С.Сейфуллина) по кормлению пресноводной креветки Розенберга (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). Для содержания креветки использовалась установка замкнутого водоснабжения (УЗВ), для проведения гидрохимических исследований использовались термооксиметр и РН метр. Для расчета линейных и весовых показателей использовались общепринятые методики для аквакультуры.Результаты. Выявлена эффективность комбинированного метода кормления, в котором абсолютный прирост у молоди креветки за период выращивания составил 458 мг, а относительный прирост 347%. Практически одинаковые результаты показали остальные группы с абсолютным приростом 363 мг и 396 мг, и относительным приростом 231% и 228% соответственно.Заключение. На основании проведенных исследований разработаны оптимальные рационы кормления молоди креветки Розенберга для благоприятного содержания в УЗВ. Комбинированный метод кормления живыми кормами и комбикормом показал лучший результат и свидетельствует о наилучшей усвояемости питательных веществ, чем при кормлении моно-кормами. Одной из причин снижения выживаемости при кормлении исключительно мороженым мотылем могла быть нехватка питательных веществ и микроэлементов.

The persistent challenges being faced daily on the downtimes and completely data outages of Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) is becoming worrisome and also the unavailability of GNSS control points around local regions where access to CORS is also difficult or unavailable in developing countries, such as Nigeria, has become a major challenge to accurate positioning by differential GNSS method. Also, acquisition of two units of dual frequency GNSS receivers is as well becoming too costly and unaffordable for users due to economic downturn. With the advent of International GNSS Service (IGS) – real-time service (IGS-RTS) which provides corrections that can be applied in real time, precise point positioning (PPP) with just a receiver unit has recently given a relief. The purpose of this study was to assess the positioning with IGS02 and IGS03 Real Time Service data stream compared to long convergence Static-PPP in Gwagwalada, Abuja, Nigeria. The study determined the GNSS Static observations (minimum of three hours per session) on the chosen stations as reference, determination of the IGS-RTS data observations using RTKLIB software; and also observations were done with IGS-RTS data stream of IGS02 and IGS03 and statistical tests were performed. The GNSS Static coordinates and IGS-RTS coordinates were compared and analyzed. The results show the Root Mean Square (RMS) discrepancy of IGS02 and IGS03 observations, as was compared to the Static-PPP, the results fell within 0.065(m) and 0.028(m) respectively. This result indicates that IGS03 yields better performances in term of accuracy.

В статье приводятся исследования современных движений земной поверхности по результатам GPS наблюдений на территории Восточного Казахстана. Исходными данными послужили высокоточные измерения на сети из 31 перманентных станций, расположенных в Восточно-Казахстанской и Абайской областях. Методы включали обработку измерений комплексом программ GAMIT/GLOBK с вычислением векторов скоростей смещений в системе ITRF14_EURA. Результаты локальной сети объединялись с решениями координат сети глобальных станции IGS. Для этого в пределах недеформируемого Евразийской и Индийской литосферных плит выбраны опорные IGS станции с наиболее длинной историей, наименьшими погрешностями и охватывающее регион исследования. Всего в обработку были включены данные измерений с 12 опорных станций глобальной сети IGS. Результаты представлены картами скоростей современных движений. Рассчитаны главные оси ориентации деформаций с построением схематических карт параметров поля напряжённо-деформированного состояния земной коры. Проведён сравнительный анализ с наблюдаемой сейсмичностью. Исследования востребованы при сейсмическом районировании территории с выделением новых областей критических деформаций по спутниковым данным. Результаты применимы для изучения регионального движения литосферных плит и интерпретации геодинамических особенностей прилегающих районов Северо-Западного Китая и Российской Федерации.
