Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Tarabay Khaldoun
Published: July 2022

The emergence and constant development of technologies and newfangled digitalized systems in work environments play a role in shaping a myriad of employees’ resulting behaviors. Nowadays, while high-tech dominates the business realm, numerous developing countries end up affected by the digital divide phenomenon where adoption and adaptation to modern technologies occur at a slower pace. Nevertheless, the Covid-19 pandemic’s health measures forced most organizations in both developed and developing countries to transition towards Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for work. This abrupt change created technology-related workloads and obliged workers to acquire new digital skillsets, which consequently amplified stress. This thesis aims to investigate the impact of Technostress on Work Engagement while taking into consideration the role of Grit and Voice Behavior, amongst employed labor force in Lebanon. The study uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test seven hypotheses through analyzing completed questionnaires from a random sample of 186 employees within Lebanese territory. This thesis hopes that its findings can guide managers and policymakers by contributing to theoretical and empirical evidence on ways to increase employee motivation and improve overall organizational performance.
A gender perspective on counter-terrorism. (c2022)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Faddoul Leila-Maria
Published: July 2022

Following the September 11 2001 attacks on the United States, terrorism has evolved to a point where it became crucial for countries to move from exclusively military counter-terrorism approaches towards rights-based and gender-inclusive ones. This study sheds light on this shift, by providing a qualitative examination of how the pertinent United Nations (UN) bodies incorporated a gender perspective into counter-terrorism strategies and adopted concrete measures in this regard. To date, 22 UN Security Council (UNSC) resolutions, as well as 7 initiatives by UN bodies, address the role of women in formulating and implementing counter-terrorism measures. These findings indicate the continuous need to keep the issue of gender at the core of all international initiatives in the domain of countering terrorism.
UAV-assisted Multi-tier Computing Framework for IoT Networks
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Tout Abeer
Published: July 2022

Next-generation wireless networks are expected to support a massive amount of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in delivering a wide range of novel resourceintensive applications. IoT devices, despite their enhanced capabilities, fall short of meeting the computational requirements of these applications within a strict deadline. This thesis leverages a hierarchical computational model where IoT devices offload their computational tasks to a number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can be deployed in a way to establish strong Line-of-Sight (LoS) links. Being equipped with computational resources, UAVs process part of the tasks within the set time threshold while the other tasks are transferred to edge and cloud servers for potential processing. This work aims at optimizing the number and position of deployed UAVs, IoT-to-UAV association, resource allocation, and task offloading to UAVs, edge servers, and the cloud, while ensuring various system constraints. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer programming problem and solved using Successive Convex Approximation. An efficient solution is then proposed to decompose the main problem into two subproblems that are solved iteratively. The first subproblem minimizes the number of IoT clusters and positions a UAV to serve each cluster while the second subproblem maximizes the percentage of admitted tasks using the resulting number of UAVs determined by the first subproblem. As long as not all devices are fully served, an additional UAV is introduced and the two subproblems are solved repeatedly. The proposed decomposition solution has been evaluated as a function of various system parameters and application use cases to show optimized performance and high scalability.

Authors:   Department of Economics, University of Lagos, Akoka-Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria, AYADI Folorunso Sunday
Published: July 2022

This research examined the relationship existing between subsidies, economic growth and environmental performance and also tested empirically; the existence or otherwise of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) in four of the BRICS’ countries using the method of Panel Least Squares and Fully Modified Least Squares (FMOLS). The data for this study spanned from 1990 to 2018. The study found among others; the non-significant EKC for the BRICS countries analysed. Trade openness did not increase economic growth of the BRICS significantly, but it significantly fuelled emissions. Capital formation however, positively contributed to economic growth. Subsidies and transfers significantly increased productivity in the BRICS. Subsidy exerted no significant impact on carbon dioxide emission in the BRICS. The study recommends that BRICS countries must reorganise their economies so as to gain more from trade while putting up measures towards reducing the environmental impacts of trade liberalisation. Capital formation needs boosting so as to encourage growth. In addition to the above, more beneficial subsidies which do not raise environmental concerns may be encouraged so as to enhance further economic growth.
Context and Pedagogy as Signpoints to Authentic Learning Paths
Authors: Meriläinen Merja , Piispanen Maarika
Published: July 2022

In the Finnish National Core Curriculum for Compulsory Education (2014), the conception of language is based on the communal and functional linguistics model of language. From the perspectives of teaching and learning, this requires that learning contexts and pedagogies enable learning in such learning environments, roles, and processes where the pupil can think and act authentically, according to his or her age (National Core Curriculum 2014). Thus, in this article we examine the integration of subject teaching with topic teaching in the frameworks of sociocultural learning, functional linguistics, and authentic learning, in the contextual-pedagogical learning landscape, where the individuality of learners as well as timely learning support (scaffolding) in the zone of proximal development (Vygotsky 1978) enable the learning of content as part of interdisciplinary learning. The subject Finnish language and literature is defined as a interdisciplinary, practical, theoretical, and cultural subject (National Core Curriculum 2014) that requires cooperation with other subjects. This article will present a interdisciplinary approach to learning, where the thematic context created for learning gives meaning to the subject related content that must be learned, and where the ability to acquire the core content of the subject becomes a prerequisite for the processing of the theme or topic presented through the thematic context.

The purpose of the work is to create a drought-resistant, highly productive variety of winter triticale for the arid conditions of the Volga region. The article presents the main methods of creating and studying a new variety of winter hexaploid triticale Zubr. Breeding work on the creation of variety Zubr was carried out at the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Organization “Federal Center of Agriculture Research of South-East Region”. The variety was selected by the method of intervarietal hybridization within the genus Triticale, followed by a single individual selection from hybrid population F7 Strelez /Student.  The characteristics of the variety according to the most important economically valuable traits are given in comparison with the varieties Student and Valentin 90, approved for the use in the 8th region of the Russian Federation of the state register of breeding achievements. Grain can be used for animal feed in the form of fodder. The increase in grain yield to the standard variety Student on average over the years of study was 9.6 c/ha and to the Valentin 90 – 2.0 c/ha. The high yield of the variety is formed due to the high mass of 1000 grains, the number and weight of grain per spike as main characteristics in the breeding for drought resistance. The laboratory study also confirmed the high drought resistance of the Zubr variety. Cell membrane permeability, as an indirect indicator of drought resistance, had the lowest value in the new cultivar among 70 samples of the world collection. The new variety forms the completed grain (actual weight is 722g/l). The new cultivar and standards did not differ in the crude protein content in the grain (13.3-13.4%). In terms of the fall number, as an indirect indicator of resistance to pre-harvest grain germination, the new variety is inferior to standard varieties.

Authors: Shevkhuzhev Anatoly Foadovich , Pogodaev Vladimir Anikeevich
Published: July 2022

By regulating the nutritional level of young animals in the postembryonic period, it is possible to change the growth rate of animals, the forming of meatiness and the ratio of the most important tissues in the carcass. The aim of the work was to establish the influence of different nutritional levels on the growth, development, meat productivity of Black Pied young cattle of different ages. The scheme of young animals growing was as follows: group 1– increased nutritional level up to 14 months of age; group 1-a – young animals were grown in the same way as young animals of group 1 up to 8 months (increased nutritional level), and from 8 to 14 months they were on average nutrition; group 2 – average nutrition was up to 14 months; group 2-a – average nutrition was up to 8 months, and from 8 to 14 months – an increased nutritional level. During 14 months of growing, it was spent on each head in group 1 – 2114.8; in 2-a – 1888.1; in 1-a – 1919.0; in group 2 – 1692.3 energetic feed units. During 18 months of growing, it was spent respectively: in group 1 – 3673.2; in 2-a – 3345.6; in 1-a – 3197.4 and in group 2 – 3240.0 energetic feed units. Young animals of group 1, which had improved nutrition, on average gained 837 g daily for the entire period, which is more than young animals of groups 2-a, 1-a and 2 by 124, 161 and 170 g (B> 0.999), respectively. With a high nutritional level of young cattle for meat, there is a dramatic increase in meat productivity and an improvement in the quality of meat. Moreover, the cost of feed for the output is reducing and the economic efficiency of livestock breeding is increasing. Nutritional level has a differentiated effect on the development of individual organs and tissues. The growth of the same tissue in different parts of the carcass with insufficient nutrition is delayed to varying degrees.

The modern stage of development of science and technology is characterized by a rapid increase in the complexity of the created technical systems. The management of such systems requires the development of new management methods, since the modification and improvement of traditional management techniques does not always ensure the fulfillment of stringent requirements for management quality indicators. Classical control methods are mainly based on the theory of linear systems, while most real objects are non-linear. The problem of the synthesis of control systems under conditions of uncertainty is currently one of the central problems in the modern theory of automatic control. The complexity of the control object itself, structural, parametric and information uncertainties in the description of the control object, and the complexity of control problems, the multi criteria of optimization problems, the lack of possible analytical solutions, the need to take into account all the properties of disturbances, etc. The solution to this problem requires a search for alternative approaches to the design of control systems, one of which involves the introduction of neural network systems. Neural network control systems are a high-tech direction of control theory and belong to the class of nonlinear dynamic systems. High performance due to parallelization of input information in combination with the ability to train neural networks makes this technology very attractive for creating control devices in automatic systems. Neural networks can be used to build regulating and switching devices, reference, adaptive, nominal and inverse-dynamic models of objects, on the basis of which objects are studied, analysis of the influence of disturbances acting on an object, determination of the optimal control law, search or calculating the optimal program for changing the impact when changing the values of the parameters of the object and the characteristics of the input data. In addition, neural networks can be used to identify objects, predict the state of objects, recognize, cluster, classify, analyze a large amount of data arriving at high speed from a large number of devices and sensors, and the like. The ability to learn according to a given principle of functioning allows creating automated control systems that are optimal in terms of speed, energy consumption, etc. Naturally, in this case, it is possible to implement several principles of functioning and the transition from one to another. They are a universal tool for modeling multidimensional nonlinear objects and finding solutions to ill-posed problems.

Authors: Budiman Budiman
Published: July 2022

This research trying to explains the management of the nation's economic development based on preserving the environment, which is the forest. This is because economic development has always been identified with environmental damage, including deforestation. As one of the countries with the largest tropical rainforest globally, Indonesia is automatically one of the focuses on its economic development is utilizing existing forestry resources. This causes a massive deforestation process, so the international community pressures Indonesia by accusing Indonesia of being one of the world's countries that cause climate change. Therefore, currently, the Government of Indonesia has established a Green Economy Development Program to overcome the problem of climate change caused by economic activities. The idea of Green Economic Development is essential to discuss because of the nation's priority for strong economic growth and sustainable development. One form of green economic development is to introduce the hutanomics concept, a concept of economic development management that is harmonized and based on the interests of forests and nature, which the author has adopted as the theme of this research. With a qualitative approach, the descriptive method, the researcher explains the management of the nation's economic development based on preserving the environment, which is the forest. Research findings show that economic development does not always have to come at the expense of the environment like deforestation. One of the concepts introduced is Hutanomics (Forest Economic), a management concept of economic development by aligning economic interests with the interests of forests and nature. Environmental impact analysis is critical to Hutanomics because it involves the claims of nature and the necessity of a collaboration between the government, the corporate world, and the community, each with their own functions

The intensity of consumers and the declining flow of goods and services resulted in a reduction in the income of business actors and a decrease in the flow of goods and services traded. This study discusses marketing and entrepreneurship in the era of social restriction policies. The research methodology uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The results of the study show that the decline in marketing as a result of COVID-19 has caused entrepreneurs who are generally SMEs to transform into digital entrepreneurs by adopting digital technology and digital marketing. . However, in this study, the authors also found that the process of transformation into a digital entrepreneur cannot be done without the support of the government through the promotion of digitalization of the entrepreneurial sector such as the entrepreneurship sector. In general, the conclusion from the entrepreneurial side is that businesses must grow according to consumer needs, namely where they want to go and under any conditions. This is where the need to transform marketing and entrepreneurship into digital entrepreneurship and digital marketing.

This study discusses the strategy of developing Islamic microfinance institutions facing the era of financial technology in West Java. The study examines internal strategy factors in the development strategy of Islamic Microfinance Institutions (LKMS), external strategy factors, and the formulation and alternative development strategies. In conclusion, the internal strategic factors include generally good financial performance, increasing trend of public deposits, suitable financing and supporting the strengthening of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), risk management implemented effectively and gradually, and digital-based services (savings, financing proposals) & payment), education and assistance, easy access, competency development of human resources and members, development of information technology organization tools, innovation in strengthening competitiveness (digitalization of services, development of human resources in the field of information technology), relations, collaboration with institutions others (sharia fintech/marketplace platforms, etc.), and digital marketing strategies. The external strategic factors include: relatively good investment realization, government support, fintech-based services (zakat and waqf), the performance of the national and Islamic finance industry is quite good, global and national economic growth is not conducive, and the market share of the Islamic finance industry is still low, other financial institutions in providing services to MSMEs or digital-based services, and household consumption activities have decreased. The formulation and alternative of SWOT analysis with EFAS and IFAS approach resulted in a weighted EFAS of 3.03 and a weighted IFAS of 2.95. BOS results in: eliminating barriers to inclusion, reducing investment of less productive funds, increasing assistance and excellent service, and creating fintech service innovations in the form of a crowdfunding platform.
An Analytic Network Process Method Approach to Design Models of Lecturers Performance Evaluation
Authors: Purwani Fenny
Published: July 2022

One approach to greatly enhance the quality of university education level is improving the quality and career of lecturers, including services to students. Therefore, performance and work ethic are critically evaluated to obtain re-liable information. Most performance evaluations are limited to assess students in the classroom exclusively. This research employed a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), a model designed to evaluate the lecturer’s performance and factors influencing their performance. These factors were examined from various variables, such as training and development experience, motivation, self-esteem, competency, and job satisfaction. To demonstrate the correlation and dependency among factors of lecture performance evaluation, this study employed the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method, which is part of MCDM technique. The ANP method could serve different levels of stakeholders by considering available criteria and sub-criteria. Moreover, the method could predict performance measurement of human resources by considering factors affecting lecturer’s performance. This research produced a model to evaluate lecturers’ performance effectively
Una visión insurgente al Statu Quo de la industria biotecnológica y el establecimiento de biorrefinerías
Authors: Martínez-Herrera Raúl E. , Alemán-Huerta María E.
Published: July 2022

El concepto de biorrefinería fue creado con la intención de promover el uso sustentable de los recursos naturales para su conversión en productos biotecnológicos con valor comercial. Sin embargo, la problemática mundial de contaminación ambiental y la falta de acceso a productos de origen biotecnológico tales como vacunas, medicamentos e inclusive alimentos en poblaciones vulnerables, ponen de manifiesto la insuficiente visión de beneficio social, justicia y equidad por parte de dicho gremio industrial. Bajo este contexto, es necesario desafiar el estado actual promoviendo una insurgencia multidisciplinaria que vea prioritariamente por el desarrollo socioeconómico de las comunidades rurales y la protección de los ecosistemas nativos. Es por ello, que el presente escrito enfatiza una serie de puntos críticos que deben ser abordados antes de la instalación de cualquier biorrefinería, teniendo como base un clúster académico, gubernamental y empresarial que opere de manera íntegra.
Un lado menos conocido del cambio climático:
Authors: Díaz-Castañeda Victoria
Published: July 2022

El océano es una parte integral del sistema climático global, absorbe calor y CO2, ayudando a moderar el cambio climático y la acidificación de los océanos. El exceso de CO2 producido por actividades antropogénicas ha afectado la química del océano y provocado lo que conocemos como acidificación. Los ambientes marinos albergan una gran diversidad biológica que puede verse afectada negativamente por estas alteraciones. Entre los afectados estan los organismos calcificadores como moluscos, corales, crustáceos entre otros. Se mencionan efectos del proceso de acidificación. Diversos grupos de investigación han desarrollado técnicas para evaluar efectos en la calcificación, aquí enumeramos algunas de ellas. Debido a que la disminución de pH altera el funcionamiento de enzimas y proteínas y los procesos de desarrollo larvario han surgido grupos de investigación trabajando en estos aspectos. Las investigaciones sobre los efectos de la acidificación nos permitirán hacer proyecciones de lo que puede suceder en un futuro cercano. Generar información sobre cuáles serán los grupos animales y vegetales más afectados y los más resistentes, puede ser de gran utilidad para tratar de preservar los ecosistemas marinos y las especies que sirven de alimento para los seres humanos. Las naciones deben hacer esfuerzos importantes y coordinados para tratar de mantener el incremento de temperatura debajo de 2 °C y evitar aumentar la concentración de CO2 en la atmósfera.

Given the unceasing momentum of the ongoing global biodiversity crisis, we placed an elevated sense of urgency on documenting and reporting the occurrence and distribution of species, and the threats to their persistence. Further, this urgency is enhanced when dealing with secretive species from understudied regions. Herein, we present an updated taxonomic list of the 155 species of amphibians and reptiles found in the Los Chimalapas region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, Mexico. We also include data on the geographic and ecological distribution and conservation status of the species involved, which includes 44 anurans, eight salamanders, one caecilian, one crocodylian, 93 squamates, and eight turtles. The Chimalapas stand out as a high biodiversity region for amphibians and reptiles.

Published: July 2022

La inteligencia emocional (IE) ha sido definida como la habilidad para identificar y valorar las emociones propias y reconocer las de los otros, es la habilidad de manejar los sentimientos para facilitar el pensamiento, la atención y la automotivación, así como, para comprender y regular las emociones hacia el crecimiento integral de sí mismo (Goleman, 1995/2021). De acuerdo con Mayer y Salovey (1997) y Goleman (2010), la IE ha mostrado relaciones significativas con una mejor salud mental y como mediadora del estrés. En el contexto deportivo, se ha explorado la relación entre la IE y la educación deportiva; el desarrollo integral; y el rendimiento deportivo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar una revisión sistemática de las investigaciones empíricas de los últimos cinco años sobre la relación de la IE y el rendimiento deportivo. Se realizó la búsqueda en las bases de datos Dialnet, Google Scholar, PubMed y Redalyc,utilizando las palabras “inteligencia emocional”, “rendimiento deportivo” y “deporte”. Los criterios de inclusión de los artículos fueron: el año de publicación 2016-2021; el tipo de investigación; y que la población estuviera conformada por deportistas universitarios o deportistas de rendimiento. Se obtuvieron 20 artículos que cumplen con los criterios de inclusión, de los cuales son 13 en español y siete en inglés; identificando el instrumento TMMS-24 como el más utilizado para la medición de IE. Estas investigaciones muestran una relación importante entre la IE y el deporte en diferentes contextos y especialidades deportivas, que dan pie a futuras líneas de investigación.
Jorge Luis Borges’te ve Sezai Karakoç’ta Gül İmgesi
Authors: KARACA KÜÇÜK Şeyma
Published: July 2022

Arjantin’li yazar Jorge Luis Borges öyküleri ve şiirlerinin yanı sıra deneme ve kurmaca arasındaki sınırı zorlayan çalışmalara imza atan bir sanatçıdır. Edebiyattan felsefeye, inanç tarihinden mitolojiye uzanan geniş bir yelpazede fikirlerinin izini sürdüğümüz Borges şiirlerinde sık sık gül imgesine yer verir. Bu durum onun hem dünya görüşünün hem de edebi perspektifinin bir ürünü olarak nitelendirilebilir.
Sezai Karakoç ise gerek sanata bakış açısını gerekse de dünya görüşünü diriliş düşüncesi çerçevesinde şekillendiren ve bu ideal etrafında hem şiirler yazan hem de medeniyet ve kültür temelinde bilgi ve fikirlerini aktaran yazılar kaleme alan önemli bir Türk şairdir. Dolayısıyla fikir yazıları ve şiirleri arasında bir etkileşim vardır ve bu etkileşimden doğan önemli kavramların izini sürmek özellikle şiirlerine yansıyan imgeleri değerlendirmek bakımından önemlidir. Bu anlamda gül, Karakoç’un şiirlerinde sıkça yer verdiği ve düşünce yazıları bağlamında değerlendirildiğinde onun sanata ve dünyaya bakış açısını da ortaya koyan bir imgedir.
Karakoç ve Borges farklı iki edebiyata mensup sanatçılar olmasına rağmen şiirlerinde ve düz yazılarında sıkça yer verdikleri gül imgesiyle sanata ve dünyaya bakış açılarını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı her iki sanatçının düz yazılarından yola çıkarak gül imgesi bağlamında sanata bakış açılarını ve dünya görüşlerini değerlendirmek ve şiirlerinde kullandıkları bu imgeyi karşılaştırmaktır.
