The function of feeling kama muta in face of collective threat
Authors: Koh Alethea H. Q. , Nakayama Masataka , Liew Kongmeng , Uchida Yukiko
Published: February 2025

Kama muta is a positive emotion that is commonly elicited against a backdrop of difficulties and reorients one’s values towards priorities in life. Hence, we expect kama muta to cause similar beneficial shifts in attitudes, when exposed to collective threat such as natural disasters. In these contexts, kama muta may help to build individuals’ resources for prosocial action, through mechanisms like reducing the perceived burden of their own personal problems. As such, the current research proposes that kama muta reduces negative attitudes towards one's personal problems (personal problem appraisals) and is simultaneously enhanced by exposure to collective threat. Across three studies on Japanese participants (N = 725), we found that participants' experiences of kama muta predicted alleviations in their personal problem appraisals, even after controlling for other positive emotions. However, kama muta was not enhanced by experimental manipulation of collective threat contexts, but was instead positively correlated with subjective perceptions of the societal impact of these threats.

As outlined by the Council of Europe’s Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture (RFCDC), civic competences are core elements for active participation in a democratic society. This study aimed to examine the linkages between four civic competences (empathy, respect, responsibility, and cooperation) and civic engagement (attitudes and behaviors) during adolescence, as well as test the potential role played by gender, both as a covariate and a moderator. We recruited a sample of 446 adolescents (70% females; M
age = 16.51, SD = 1.35) from a high school in Southern Italy and administered a set of online self-report scales: civic attitudes and behaviors were evaluated through the Civic Engagement Scale; empathy was assessed through the Empathic Concern subscale of the Brief Interpersonal Reactivity Index; cooperation was assessed through the Cooperation Scale; responsibility and respect were measured through a set of descriptors provided by the RFCDC. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) was run to test the hypothesized associations, and a series of multiple group SEM was performed to evaluate the moderating role of gender on the relations between civic competences and civic engagement. Our findings showed only empathy and cooperation were positively and significantly related to civic attitudes and civic behaviors. Gender differences were found for empathy, cooperation, and respect, with girls reporting higher levels than boys. Adolescents’ gender was also found to be a significant moderator of relations linking empathy, cooperation and respect with civic engagement. Limitations and implications are discussed.

Published: February 2025

Today’s gas stations with convenience stores in the United States are not inclined to only selling gas and diesel, they are now offering more value propositions to their respective customers following their needs and choices. In the United States, people from every corner are now connected to gas stations and convenience stores for their daily needs. Therefore, any further improvements in this sector would benefit them even more. Gas stations with convenient stores can develop and maintain Business Model Canvas (BMC) for further improvement in their business and create even better value propositions for their customers. BMC will facilitate gas stations with better control of their business and help increase revenue streams. It also helps optimize the cost structure and fair pricing. Therefore, applying BMC model could facilitate gas stations with endless benefits by integrating all the nine segments of the model. In this research work, we designed our plan to explain the BMC model and analyze segments to the most relevant extent. Then we like to apply the model in a typical Gas station with C-store in the United States of America to see how a gas station can develop BMC in their business. In a typical gas station with C-store, we see, the customer segment composed of local consumers, commuters, travelers, and late-night shoppers. Gas stations are striving to extend their value propositions to attract more consumers and satisfy their growing needs. Value propositions include uninterrupted flow of gas/diesel supply, fresh produce, foods, merchandise items, friendly customer service, a wide range of products available in-store, ATM service, EV (Electric Vehicle) charging facility, car wash facility and more. Procurements of merchandise from various suppliers, building credit-worthy relationships with them, managing inventory/stocks are the key activities for this type of business. Key partners like banks, suppliers, delivery partners, and professional IT partners. A typical gas station with C-store may have multiple revenue streams. The cost structure of a typical gas station is classified as fixed costs and variable costs including suppliers’ pay, utilities pay, payroll, monthly rents, and maintenance costs.

Published: February 2025

Companies are required to prepare a pension fund for their employees as a form of appreciation and compensation for the services that have been given to the companies. In Indonesia, the calculation of pension funds is regulated in the Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK) number 3 concerning Pension Fund Investments. Projected Unit Credit uses the distribution of pension benefits that pension participants will get if they work until they reach normal retirement age with a total of years of service. In this research, the researchers are using two mortality tables on the value of pension funds using the projected unit credit method. The data in this research uses salary data from PT. XYZ with the assumption of retirement age at the age of 58, and an interest rate of 6.25% based on Bank Indonesia’s rate. The results of this research show that changes in normal cost and actuarial liability for both males and females are visible at the age of entry into employment until the middle of the working period, while the effect of changes in the mortality table at the final age approaching retirement is not very significant.

In Law no. 7 of 2017 concerning Elections which are the legal basis for the implementation of the 2019 elections. This provision is contained in Article 245 mandating that the list of prospective candidates must contain at least 30 percent women's representation. In the Indonesian context, legal reform with a justice perspective through the insistence of a 30% quota for women in parliament is a contribution from the liberal feminist experience. The regulation regarding the mandatory 30 percent quota for female candidates is one of the important achievements in Indonesia's post-reform democracy journey. These conditions must be met by political parties in order to participate in the Election. This 30 percent figure is based on the results of UN research which states that a minimum number of 30 percent allows a change to occur and has an impact on the quality of decisions taken in public institutions. However, the issue of gender inequality is clearly reflected in the low representation of women in the structure of Indonesia's representative institutions. Based on the 2010-2035 Indonesian Population Projection data, out of a total of 261.9 million Indonesians in 2017, the female population is 130.3 million or around 49.75 percent of the population. Unfortunately, the large population of women is not represented in parliament. The proportion of women in DPR seats is much less than the proportion of men.

Published: February 2025

El objetivo del presente estudio es valorar el estado que guarda la competitividad de la fresa mexicana en los mercados internacionales. Se parte de la hipótesis descriptiva que postula que, entre los años 1990 y 2022, la fresa mexicana mostró una competitividad internacional favorable con un comportamiento ascendente. Para probar la hipótesis se midieron cuatro indicadores de competitividad basados en indicadores comerciales: el Índice de Autosuficiencia Alimentaria (IAA), la Balanza Comercial Relativa (BCR), el Grado de Apertura Exportadora (GAE) y el Grado de Penetración de las Importaciones (GPI). Los resultados confirman la mejora en la competitividad de la fresa mexicana y la autosuficiencia de México en su producción y abasto. Pese a su buen desempeño, algunos de los retos que enfrenta la producción y comercialización de este producto son de corte socio-ambiental, relacionados, por ejemplo, con el uso de pesticidas, la sobreexplotación de los cuerpos de agua y la expansión de la superficie de cultivo.
Revenue collection contracts in the municipality of Coimbra (Portugal): the role of transaction costs and risk in contract choice (1557-1836)
Authors: Dos Santos Barbosa José Luís
Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyse revenue collection contracts in the municipality of Coimbra (Portugal), from 1557 to 1836. It will focus on examining the role of transaction costs and risk in contract selection. It is documented that from the sixteenth century to the early nineteenth century, the municipality of Coimbra used three types of contracts with private contractors, namely fixed-price, salary, and sharing contracts, although most were of the fixed-price type. The central question explored here is the influence of transaction costs and risk on the decision-making process for indirect collection contracts. The findings indicate that the municipality aimed to minimize both transaction costs and risk, leading mainly to the use of fixed-price contracts. In this arrangement, the agents (revenue contractors) bore responsibility for both the risk and the costs associated with the collection process. From 1739 onwards, the municipality shifted to direct rather than indirect collection methods, introducing additional constraints.

Dalam upaya meningkatkan akurasi, efisiensi dan kualitas pelayanan, banyak fasilitas kesehatan, termasuk klinik gigi yang mulai memanfaatkan teknologi berbasis digital untuk mendukung operasional mereka. Salah satu inovasi yang sedang berkembang adalah aplikasi mobile penginputan data pasien berbasis digital untuk mengelola rekam medis pasien. Selama ini, banyak klinik gigi yang masih menggunakan sistem manual dalam pencatatan dan pengelolaan rekam medis pasien. Meskipun metode manual ini masih banyak digunakan, sistem tersebut memiliki sejumlah kelemahan, di antaranya adalah rendahnya efisiensi, potensi kesalahan dalam pencatatan, serta keamanan data yang rentan terhadap kebocoran atau kerusakan. Kemajuan sistem informasi berkontribusi pada perampingan proses bisnis dan memberikan dukungan untuk kegiatan operasional dan strategis dalam organisasi. Teknologi yang jelas terlihat di masyarakat adalah pemanfaatan smartphone sebagai media utama untuk komunikasi. Penggunaan smartphone tidak hanya mempermudah komunikasi, tetapi juga mempercepat akses informasi, mendukung bisnis online, dan mengubah cara orang berinteraksi dengan teknologi. User Interface (UI) dan User Experience (UX) mengacu pada representasi visual dari aplikasi atau alat pemasaran digital, baik di seluler atau situs web, yang berupaya meningkatkan citra merek bisnis atau perusahaan. UI berkaitan dengan desain tampilan aplikasi, sementara UX berkonsentrasi pada elemen desain yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kepuasan pengguna saat terlibat dengan aplikasi tersebut.
Reconstructed Southeastern European Identities in the Tourist Western World: Phenomenological Research
Authors: Chonevski Aleksandar
Published: February 2025

The article analyzes the experiences of modern Southeastern Europeans regarding social and economic mobility in Western tourist areas. It aims to investigate Southeastern European seasonal workers who have not remained silent, even after their visas expired in developed countries. This study seeks to understand how these Southeastern European identities are constructed while working as immigrant students, conceptualizing language learning, and contributing as multicultural members in a service-oriented tourist society. In higher education, within a democratic paradigm, the content of ethnographic and global sociolinguistic literature is supported by cultural capital, where constructed identities are understood from a critical perspective. This study uses qualitative data underpinning Husserl’s phenomenology. Qualitative methods include interview protocols, ethnographic observations, and individual narratives. Overarching themes from seven semi-experienced individuals in Southeastern Europe who faced accountability, intercultural adaptation, and educational integration reflect the progressive education that evolved from home to the new tourist world abroad. The findings revealed three main themes: individual acculturation, evolved identity view, and social incisiveness in a multicultural society. Furthermore, Southeastern European immigration rises daily and collaboratively, opening new global perspectives in educational policies, global citizenship education, and social justice curricula within the hospitality industry, where tourists' identities seek protection for their initial Western jobs. These findings suggest that, through an experiential curriculum, ESL learners integrate Southeastern potential tourist workers and become students to understand social and economic perspectives while incorporating them into corporate higher education. The implications contemplate how tourist identity is formed, transformed, and plays a significant role in modern society, with limited potential in the Western tourist world. The policy challenges of higher education for immigrants, such as those from Southeastern Europe affected by the brain drain phenomenon, emphasize social injustice, language barriers, and cultural anxiety. Therefore, higher education policy acknowledges this vulnerable group of Southeastern individuals and creates educational pathways for social and emotional support.
Violent Crime and Enrollment Trends: A Quantitative Analysis Reassessing the Impact at Public Postsecondary Institutions in the United States
Authors: Bhattarai Richa
Published: February 2025

This study examines the relationship between rates of reported violent crime and public institutional enrollment in postsecondary education between 1980 and 2020 in the United States. Focusing on violent crimes such as aggravated assault, forcible rape, and homicide, this research employs descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, and regression analysis to examine the influence of rates of reported violent crime on public institutional enrollment in postsecondary education. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between violent crime and public institutional enrollment, with forcible rape demonstrating a significant impact. These results challenge the hypothesis that higher crime rates prevent enrollment in postsecondary education suggesting instead that the rates of reported violent crime could be associated with increased student enrollment in public institutions. This research contributes to ongoing debates about the impact of reported violent crime on institutional enrollment in postsecondary education.
Advancing Accessibility: A Systematic Review of Healthcare Accessibility for Individuals with Disabilities and a Proposed Collaborative Partnership Model
Authors: Roy Moumita , Shoshi Susmita Roy
Published: February 2025

Despite the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other policy efforts, healthcare facilities in the U.S. often fail to provide adequate accommodations for individuals with disabilities, resulting in preventable health issues and diminished quality of life. This study aims to synthesize existing literature on healthcare disparities faced by disabled individuals, focusing on barriers such as insufficient physical accommodations, communication challenges, and a lack of disability awareness among healthcare providers. A systematic review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines, with 23 research papers selected from 2006 to 2022. The analysis identified recurring themes of inadequate accessibility, with legal frameworks like the ADA being insufficient in addressing the complexity of these challenges. Key gaps include a lack of scalable, collaborative interventions and insufficient research on disability populations. To address these limitations, this study proposes a novel partnership model that integrates academic institutions, advocacy groups, and healthcare education providers to promote inclusive healthcare environments. The findings highlight the critical need for collaboration across sectors to improve healthcare accessibility for all individuals with disabilities.
Contemporary Features and Challenges of Democratic Governance of the European Union
Authors: Konc Andraž
Published: February 2025

This article describes the structure of the economic and political system of the European Union through the prism of democracy. It analyses the notion of democratic governance of the European Union, grounded on its key institutions - the European Commission, the European Council and the European Parliament. The author highlights the complexity of the EU as a supranational organisation where legislative, executive and judicial powers are intertwined. Consequences of the 2024 European Parliament elections and the growing influence of far-right parties, leading to increased political polarisation, are highlighted. While reviewing methods and theories, the paper examines reforms such as the direct election of the President of the European Commission, the strengthening of the Parliament and digitalisation that could strengthen the EU's democracy and effectiveness. The paper in its approach provides a robust foundation for further research and a deeper exploration of EU democracy.
