Impact of Intellectual Capital on International Trade: Knowledge Management and Business Processes as Intermediaries
Authors: Hu Ya-Ping , Lee Ching-Min
Published: April 2022

The global international trade market is changeable and highly competitive. In order to discover the market competitiveness of trading companies, we develop a second-order research model to explore the impact of intellectual capital on a company’s performance through the intermediaries of knowledge management and business processes. The main purpose of this study is to discover the roles that knowledge management and business process capabilities play when companies introduce intellectual capital. We used a five-part questionnaire to conduct our research. Structural equation modeling techniques were used to analyze the research model, and we used PLS-SEM for data analysis. The analysis results show that the direct impact of intellectual capital on company performance is not significant (path coefficient is 0.08), and if a company only implements knowledge management it will have no significant effect on performance (path coefficient is 0.06). However, these two factors do have a significant impact on company performance through business process capability. Therefore, the results show that knowledge management and business processes mediate intellectual capital to affect a company’s performance and lead to the better identification of the successful elements of competitive export trade strategies in dynamic business environments. Moreover, the results also show that the factor loading of information capital (weight=0.63) in intellectual capital is much higher than the other aspects of intellectual capital. That is, companies must prioritize information capital when investing in intellectual capital.

Objective: This study was designed to assess the effects of preventive nursing care combined with auricular acupressure on the incidence of postpartum urinary retention in women with vaginal delivery. Methods: A total of 260 women who delivered vaginally in Shijiazhuang Fourth Hospital from March 2019 to March 2020 were enrolled into the observation group and the control group, with 130 cases in each group. Both groups were given preventive nursing, and the observation group was given additional auricular acupressure. The incidence of urinary retention, duration of voiding, residual urine volume, and indwelling urinary catheter were analyzed, and the treatment efficiency and satisfaction towards nursing care were compared. Results: The observation group showed a significantly lower incidence of urinary retention and experienced a significantly earlier time to first urination than the control group (both P<0.001). The amount of residual urine at 6h and 24h after delivery in the observation group was significantly less than in the control group (P<0.05).Fewer cases of indwelling urinary catheters were found in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.05). The treatment efficiency and nursing satisfaction in the observation group were both significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The combination of preventive nursing with auricular acupressure can contribute to a higher satisfaction among parturients by alleviating postpartum urinary retention, shortening the time to first voiding, reducing residual urine volume, and avoiding indwelling urinary catheters, so it merits clinical promotion.

Published: April 2022

The current study aims to discover how the woman was depicted and the way gender roles were defined and described in Eugene O’Neill’s “A Moon for the Misbegotten”. The importance of this paper is obtained from the broad subject of gender in general. Depicting women is highly suitable topic to many domains and fields to discover the impact of sex type in one domain donates to the comprehension of sex in another domain. The purpose of this study is to expose the playwright’s potentiality to go beyond a narrow image of the woman in the western metaphysics, to depict the way he adopted in his play to present female’s orientations, perceptions, and opinions associated with gender functions. This paper focuses on Eugene O’Neill’s heroine; (Josie Hogan) as she reflected the playwright’s increasing concern for woman’s acknowledgement, self- fulfillment, and integration in a man dominated society. Eugene O’Neill; the playwright, has demonstrated that the act of composing this play, can play just like a mirror to reflect his contemporary given culture’s lifestyle, mores, and values, by which these are considered the essence critiques of any society. The study has concluded that, Josie Hogan was described as an idealistic lady both mentally and physically, she represented the essential part of Jim Tyron, she was not a traditional stereotypical woman, she devoted and sacrificed herself for other people in the play. She dramatized the playwright’s composite heroine and his most comprehensive description of self-renunciation, she was not depicted as a defeated sex but a female who extremely aware of her own social and cultural limitations.
Global Clinical Trials: Ethics, Harmonization and Commitments to Transparency
Authors: Li Rebecca , Barnes Mark , Aldinger Carmen , Bierer Barbara
Published: April 2022

Over the last two decades, globalization of clinical trials, particularly those sponsored by global foundation and government funders (e.g., Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Wellcome Trust) and multi-national pharmaceutical companies, has steadily increased. This increased globalization of clinical trials has been attributed to multiple factors, including access to well-characterized and often treatment naïve, willing participants, thus expediting enrollment; availability of qualified local investigators who are eager to conduct trials; the enhanced capacity of international sites; and the lower cost of conducting trials in developing countries. Economic incentives to site trials in developing economies also stems from the dramatic increase in clinical trial costs in the United States and Europe–one publication cites a $600M cost savings per year (assuming 60,000 trial participants) through shifting 50 percent of late phase trials from the U.S. and Europe to less costly locales such as India and South America. Indeed, the majority of clinical trials regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration are now performed in multi-national settings. Further, national regulations increasingly require local, in-country study data to demonstrate that a medicinal product or device is efficacious and safe in that country and thus across racial and ethnic groups. These regulations propel multi-national pharmaceutical companies to consider involving these multi-regional sites early in any drug development program.

Published: April 2022

Refugees arrive in the United States with medical and non-medical needs, many of which require collaborative support from multiple stakeholders. The Philadelphia Refugee Health Collaborative (PRHC) was developed through partnerships between resettlement agencies and health clinics to create an equitable and sustainable system to address these needs and improve resettlement success. By providing access to high-quality, community-centered health care, PRHC has successfully decreased the time to initial health screenings, connected refugees to a patient-centered medical home, and addressed complex medical needs of refugees, while improving the knowledge and capabilities of health care providers and community partners. These achievements have made the PRHC a model for providing continuing health care to newly arrived refugees, with a particular focus on those facing complex medical and social challenges.

EthnoMed has been providing online information for clinicians caring for refugees since 1994. EthnoMed exists to provide clinical support and cultural context to clinicians caring for select populations of refugees. This information is retrieved from a network of case managers and clinicians engaged in ongoing refugee care and in refugee communities. Over the past 22 years we have observed successive waves of refugees entering and adjusting to U.S. health care. This article is intended to summarize common challenges to be anticipated by public health professionals and clinicians who will care for the next wave of arriving refugees. These are challenges for refugee families and therefore must be assessed and tracked for therapeutic success since challenges faced by patients are simultaneously challenges to patient care; from these we identified recommendations for providers.
Off the Podium: Why Public Health Concerns for Global Spread of Zika Virus Means That Rio de Janeiro’s 2016 Olympic Games Must Not Proceed
Authors: Attaran Amir
Published: April 2022

Brazil’s Zika problem is inconveniently not ending. The outbreak that began in the country’s northeast has reached Rio de Janeiro, where it is flourishing. Clinical studies are also mounting that Zika infection is associated not just with pediatric microcephaly and brain damage, but also adult conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome1 and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, which are debilitating and sometimes fatal.2

Simply put, Zika infection is more dangerous, and Brazil’s outbreak more extensive, than scientists reckoned a short time ago. Which leads to a bitter truth: the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games must be postponed, moved, or both, as a precautionary concession. There are five reasons.

Authors:   ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Bengaluru, Karnataka, R. Venkattakumar R.
Published: April 2022

The concept of Farmers Producers Organizations (FPOs) has been embraced to solve the problems faced by majority of small and marginal farmers of the country, through collectivizing themselves as business performing organizations across various stages of agriculture related supply and value chain activities. From 2002 onwards, such organizations were promoted by various development departments, by making them to register under Companies Act. Through a research study, the best practices of such FPOs were documented during 2016-2020. These FPOs started serving the broadbased needs of their producer members such as input supply, output procurement, custom hiring facilitation and overall technological backstopping. But performance of many of these organizations were not so successful on a long run due to many emerging challenges. Through focus group discussions and telephonic survey with the offi ce bearers of the FPOs, some of the emerging challenges of the FPOs were delineated such as failure to strike business partnership with input companies, failure to initiate market tie-up with big companies, managing operational costs during the initial years, non-adoption of innovative marketing strategies, lack of experience in branding and profi t making business process, lack of adequate technical manpower, failure to arrange credit and crop insurance facilities for the producer members etc. This paper discusses about such emerging challenges and derive implicative strategies to be recommended for practicing towards eff ective management of FPOs.

Published: April 2022

Malnutrition, including undernutrition, micronutrient defi ciency, and overnutrition, remains one of the biggest challenges to global development. Many types of approaches were suggested to achieve a balanced diet; like food fortifi cation, biofortifi cation, and dietary diversifi cation. Dietary diversifi cation is a more practical approach to full fi ll the daily needs of nutrients at the community level. The main objective of the study was to encourage diversifi cation in the diet through Local nutritional solutions to improve the nutritive value of the diet. The 491 individuals were included in the study from 128 randomly selected rural HHs from Kannauj and Banda district of Uttar Pradesh state. A total number of sixteen nutrients were evaluated as dependent variables and one independent (Individual Dietary Diversity Score) variable. To improvement in the dietary diversity score, an intervention schedule was prepared with the help of booklets, posters, videos, charts, and personal counseling. A signifi cant diff erence between controlled and intervention groups was found for 11 nutrients out of 16 nutrients. All 11 signifi cantly improved nutrients belonged to the micronutrients category. The Individual Dietary Diversity Score of controlled groups was 4.31 and the same score of the intervention group was 5.28, with a signifi cant diff erence (p-values <0.001). The intake of phosphorus, magnesium, and sodium exceeded the Recommended Dietary Allowances, with NAR 1.82, 2.14, and 2.42, respectively. Five nutrients (calcium, vitamin-A, potassium, ribofl avin, vitamin-C) consumed less than 75 per cent of the prescribed amount in the control group, and the same in the intervention group was three (calcium, vitamin-A, potassium).

Precision Agriculture is a farm management technology that uses information technology to ensure that crops and soil get exactly what they need for better health and productivity. Now modern day technology or IoT invested in modern farms is growing alongside the concept of IoT and Precision Agriculture (PA). The concept of Internet of Things (IoT) helps us to integrate all these resources into precise agriculture. Monitoring real-time nature is an important factor in advanced farming. Graphical User Interface based software will be provided to control the computer system and the system will be isolated, equipped with sensors such as temperature sensor, moisture sensor, ground sensor, ldr sensor, DS18B20 temperature sensor etc. Therefore to overcome the problems in monitoring we go to “IoT Based Real Time Monitoring for Agricultural and Microirrigation system”. In the context of real-time monitoring of agriculture and small-scale irrigation of Agriculture, we face the challenge of integrating the Internet of Things with control and sensitivity to improve agricultural efficiency. The use of a sensor network that collects data from different types of sensors and transmits it to a large server using a controller and all of these parameters can be monitored using an LCD display and the Things Speak or Blynk app. Using IoT all data is analyzed with the help of speech tools and the blynk app. Advanced multimedia platform can be remotely controlled by mobile phone and laptop. Keywords–Precision Agriculture, Internet of Things(IOT), Sensor, ThingSpeak, Blynk.

Does the Causality Principle prove that there exists Greater Speed than the Speed of Light, Is the Speed of Light not the Maximum Speed in Universe?
Authors:   Delhi University, Delhi, India, Mund Surendra , Raj Abhi
Published: April 2022

This particular article is devoted to disprove a very crucial and controversial statement given by a great physicist of all times in the history of mankind Albert Einstein [8] that- “the speed of light is constant (c = 3 × 108 ) and the maximum speed in this universe” or nobody can experience faster than this speed (c). Now we are presenting new version of this ideology by using the “Principle of Causality” and the “Principle of Central System Relativity”. In this paper, we have proved that there does not exist light (as defined by Ein- stein) like thing, but all there exists in universe are ‘broken parts’ (at different geometrical scales) because light exist on a particular geometrical scale as broken parts (on all geomet- rical scales exist in universe). The shorter geometry broken parts usually travels faster than the bigger one.

Published: April 2022

With the proliferation of Online Social Networks (OSNs), people of all walks of life are able to have instant sharing of information and opinions. Thus they became virtual platforms for exchanging views and making friends. The news shared over social media helps in understanding various aspects. They also come in the form of reviews or product or service news that will help people in making well informed decisions. As people are increasingly relying on social media to ascertain knowledge of products or services, the news over social media needs to be genuine. Unfortunately, it is observed that there are some fake news articles or reviews over OSNs. Unless, such news is identified and eliminated, it will cause people in making wrong decisions. They influence of fake news on people will defeater the purpose of social media content. The existing machine learning algorithms used for fake news detection provide a great deal of advantages in detection of fake news. However, they suffer from deterioration of performance due to lack of multiple layers of training. This is achieved by deep learning techniques. In this paper, a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used for prediction of fake news. An algorithm known as Deep Fake News Detection (DFND) is proposed and implemented. A prototype application is built using Python data science platform to show the utility of the proposed system. The empirical results of the proposed system are compared with that of existing ones. Keywords – Deep Learning, Convolutional Neural Network, Fake News Detection Deep Fake News Detection Algorithm
CONSTRUCTION OF ANY ANGLE WITHOUT PROTRACTOR

Published: April 2022

Geometry is one of the foremost significant chapters in mathematics. Construction of angles is one of the important aspects of geometry. The term construction in geometry refers to drawing shapes, lines, or angles accurately with the assistance of mathematical instruments. You will simply need a compass, a ruler (straightedge), and a pencil to construct angles, and a protractor to measure the constructed angle. This is the pure form of geometric construction as no numbers are involved in it. We can only draw some special angles without employing a protractor, such as 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, etc. and non-special angles such as 83, 72, 68, etc. with 1or 2 degrees deviation from the required angles. The method of constructing special angles is generally taught in our lower secondary school. However, using the strategy we devised, we will draw any angle between 0 and 360 degrees without any deviation from the required angle. Constructing angles is important in maths as this method can be extended for the construction of other geometric figures as well, primarily triangles.

The issue of peripheral device space management is a pressing concern for everyday users who deal with massive amounts of media content obtained through social media applications. The content that is shared over the social media application can be important images such as notes, personal pictures like selfies, group pictures, etc., and along with these images, there are many unsolicited images shared that are directly stored in the device. These unsolicited/spam images not only consume storage space but also selecting them from all and then deleting them is a tedious process, sometimes by mistake, a user also deletes important images, which can consume a lot of time. This project aims to specifically detect and extract study notes, personal images & spam images separately and relocate them in three different folders, which will help to segregate the images. This will make searching for a particular image easier and save time and effort. Keywords- Unsolicited images, notes images, personal images
