Diurnal and Seasonal Variation in CO2 Levels in the Surface Air of Garhwal Himalaya
Authors: Chandra S. , Joshi S.
Published: December 2024

Systematic measurements of atmospheric CO2 in the surface air of the study site during the period from February 1996 to January 1997 showed seasonal and diurnal variability in the atmospheric CO2 concentration, with highest values in the morning and lowest values in the afternoon.

A STAR-based Cointegration Analysis of Globalization and Air Transport in Türkiye
Authors: Sedefoglu Gulsah
Published: December 2024

This study employs the smooth transition autoregressive (STAR) model-based cointegration tests developed by Kapetanios et al. (2006) and Maki (2010) to investigate the long-term relationship between air transport and globalization, including its economic, social, and political dimensions in Türkiye. STAR models reflect the smooth nature of real-world processes and can capture the complex and nonlinear relationships between variables that linear models struggle to represent effectively. We offer a novel methodological approach to examine the relationship between air transport and globalization in Türkiye, providing valuable insights for policymakers and researchers. Our empirical results reveal a long-term equilibrium relationship between air transport and overall globalization and the economic and political dimensions of the globalization index. These results imply that both variables move together in the long run. However, no cointegration was found between air transport and the social dimension of globalization.

Published: December 2024

In this study, remote sensing technology was used to assess the carbon stocks of forest vegetation in the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area in Mongolia and Seoraksan National Park in South Korea. The aboveground biomass of the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area in 2021 was estimated to be approximately 65 million tons, which is equivalent to approximately 46 million tons of carbon. By contrast, the aboveground biomass of Seoraksan National Park in the same year was approximately 6.07 million tons, with a carbon stock of approximately 4.34 million tons. The carbon stock per unit area was higher in Seoraksan National Park (104.23 ton C/ha vs. 51.78 ton C/ha in the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area). The biomass of the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area had decreased by approximately 4 million tons since 2010, whereas that at Seoraksan National Park showed no significant difference over the same period. These results suggest that the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area could emit approximately 939,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually. The findings of this study are expected to serve as an important reference for management of the forest ecosystem and the formulation of climate change response policies in both countries.

Any revision of the Constitution, regardless of the reasons invoked and the procedure used, must comply with the procedure provided by Title VI of the Supreme Law. The circumvention of the constitutional provisions regarding the revision of the Constitution represents a violation of the supremacy of the Fundamental Law.

Reforming Food Systems Through Global Trade: An Exploration of Sustainable Food Systems Chapters in EU Trade Agreements
Authors: Hänel Rena
Published: December 2024

Agriculture and food production are some of the greatest drivers of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, freshwater consumption, and biodiversity loss worldwide. At the same time, enhancing the capacity and resource efficiency of food production remains crucial to reduce hunger and malnutrition among a growing global population. Seeking to address these concerns in its free trade agreements (FATs) with third states, the European Union (EU) has recently started to propose dedicated chapters on Sustainable Food Systems (SFS), an increasingly popular framework in both academia and policymaking, which encapsulates the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of food sustainability in a holistic manner. This article explores the question of whether and in which ways the regulatory approach advanced in SFS chapters in recent EU trade agreements reflects the holistic approach of the SFS framework. It argues that although SFS chapters cover a broad range of policy issues, they do not address the key issues of food security and demand-side interventions. Further, SFS chapters currently primarily serve to establish commitments to regulatory cooperation, missing out on the chance to introduce more direct measures to steer trade in food to become more sustainable.

Aquileiai Chromatius Máté-evangéliumhoz írt kommentárja
Authors: Csigi Péter
Published: December 2024

A Szentírás értelmezése kezdettől fogva komoly kihívás elé állította az Egyházat.
Főképp a különféle eretnekmozgalmak feltűnése tette szükségessé, hogy világosan
megkülönböztessék, melyik az az írásmagyarázati tradíció, amely kifejezi és hordozza az Egyház hitét.
Az Írás értelmezésének nemcsak tudományos vagy apologetikus céljai voltak,
hanem mindenekelőtt a keresztény hívek lelkének táplálása, hitük megerősítése. Ezen
a téren kitűntek azok a püspökök, akik egy-egy helyi egyház élén állva felelősséget
éreztek a rájuk bízott nyáj iránt. Ezek sorába illeszkedik Chromatius, Aquileia IV.
századi püspöke, aki bár a saját korában méltán nagy tiszteletnek és ismertségnek
örvendő főpap volt, a legújabb korra neve mégis majdnem feledésbe merült. A megismerésre pedig érdemessé teszi Chromatius püspököt Jeromoshoz és
Rufinushoz fűződő barátsága mellett kikezdhetetlen ortodox hite, kitűnő stílusa
és lelkipásztori érzékenysége. Jelen tanulmány témája Chromatius legfontosabb
művének, a töredékesen fennmaradt Máté-evangéliumhoz írt kommentárnak a
bemutatása.

The Mediating Role of Achievement Behaviors on Motivation and Employee Performance
Authors: Resawati Retno , Rinawati Nenny
Published: December 2024

Human resources are essential to delivering organizational performance. Motivation is one factor that can improve employee performance. Motivated and achievement-oriented employees are more likely to set challenging goals, persist in the face of obstacles, seek opportunities for improvement, and demonstrate high levels of performance.
This research investigates the mediating role of achievement behavior on employee motivation and performance. To test the research model, the author used a structured survey approach on employees at a government agency in Bandung with 126 employees. Before testing the data, the author first carried out a validity test by referring to the outer loading value of the research instrument and the cronbach alpha value, which met the testing requirements. The author uses a non-parametric approach, namely Partial Least Squares (PLS). The research results indicate that achievement thinking influences employee performance as well, and achievement behavior influences performance. The implications of the research show that employee motives, such as a strong mind, can encourage enthusiasm to carry out work optimally so that they can complete the task as well as possible. This research explores the mediating role of achievement behavior on employee motivation and performance. The research has shortcomings, namely that it is cross-sectional, so it only applies at one time and examines the impact of achievement behavior on employee motivation and performance. To strengthen these findings, further research with more representative samples is important.

Published: December 2024

This study concludes that leadership and work discipline significantly affect employee performance in a beauty clinic in Bandung. Both variables have been demonstrated to enhance staff productivity and work efficiency significantly. Effective leadership fosters a supportive work environment wherein individuals feel encouraged, directed, and inspired to attain optimal outcomes. An effective leader provides clear guidance and fosters open communication with the team, enabling people to execute their tasks confidently.
Moreover, work discipline is a crucial element in enhancing performance. Effective discipline signifies employee adherence to regulations and obligations inside the workplace. This condition is shown in punctuality, achievement of job objectives, and persistence in task execution. Work discipline is crucial for upholding high and consistent performance levels in a clinical setting, where patient care quality significantly influences reputation and operations.
The correlation between leadership and work discipline indicates that effective leadership can foster enhanced employee discipline. Leaders who can implement regulations decisively yet equitably will foster a disciplined work environment, inspiring employees to adhere to relevant protocols. Employees who perceive appreciation and encouragement from their bosses typically exhibit a more disciplined work ethic. Consequently, both are interrelated and mutually enhance one another in promoting superior performance. This study's findings underscore the significance of clinic management in fostering an inclusive leadership style and promoting a culture of discipline. Enhancing employee performance can be accomplished not only via effective leadership but also through the establishment of consistent disciplinary measures. Consequently, strategic measures encompassing leadership development and enhancing work discipline are necessary. A Beauty Clinic in Bandung can enhance patient service quality by optimizing human resource management, emphasizing leadership development, and rigorous discipline enforcement.

Evidence suggests that transformational leadership and effective communication can positively impact employee performance. Effective communication plays a crucial role in translating the vision and goals of transformational leaders into actionable plans and tasks for employees, which can positively impact employee performance.
This research analyzes the impact of transformational leadership and communication on employee performance in one of the companies providing architectural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and environmental management consulting services in Bandung. The research method used is quantitative, with a descriptive and verification approach. The sample used was 100 employees of a staff company engaged in Bandung's architectural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and environmental management services. We tested the data using validity and reliability tests and then analyzed it using path analysis.
Research results indicate that transformational leadership and communication significantly influence employee performance. Transformational leadership and communication influence 81.0% of employee performance, while the remaining 19.0% is caused by other variables or factors that were not researched.
This research focuses on transformational leadership and effective communication to improve employee performance. It contributes to increasing effectiveness and communication, which has implications for improving employee performance, especially in the environmental management consulting services sector. By investing in leadership development and promoting effective communication strategies, organizations can create an environment that maximizes employee potential and enhances performance.
This research only discusses transformational leadership and effective communication to improve employee performance. However, several factors can still enhance performance, and this research only uses a small sample, so the results cannot be generalized.

Several studies related to numeracy and technology have been carried out a lot, but researchers have not paid much attention to inclusion organizers in developing numeracy skills in dyscalculia-students by integrating technology. Therefore, this study aims to describe what obstacles are experienced by inclusion schools in developing the numeracy skills of technology-integrated dyscalculia students. This study is a qualitative study with a phenophysiological approach. The subjects of this study are 6 Headmasters and 12 teachers of inclusive schools in 6 junior high schools in Riau Province, Indonesia. Data was collected using interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that there are several obstacles as follows: First, the limitation of human resources. Second, government policies and regulations have not presented comprehensive program guidelines. Third, the implementation of the curriculum in the learning process is inadequate. Fourth, the inclusive school culture is not conducive and some teachers are not used to integrating technology in mathematics learning for children with special needs. Fifth, the numeracy skills of dyscalculia students still has problems in calculation operations, and comprehension of mathematical symbols, and Sixth, the participation and support of the family have not been well communicated.

Published: December 2024

The rapid expansion of 5G networks has revolutionized mobile communication by offering unprecedented speed, low-latency connections, and the ability to support vast numbers of connected devices. However, these advancements bring new challenges in maintaining consistent and reliable signal strength, critical for ensuring optimal Quality of Service (QoS). Traditional models, such as ARIMA, Random Forest (RF), and K-means clustering, struggle to capture the complex, nonlinear, and dynamic behaviour of 5G networks, leading to suboptimal prediction accuracy. In this study, we propose a novel hybrid model, Clustered Temporal Memory Networks (CTMN), which integrates DBSCAN clustering with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to improve signal strength prediction in mobile networks. The CTMN model combines DBSCAN's ability to handle spatial variability and outliers in 5G data, combined with LSTM's capacity for modelling long-term dependencies and nonlinear time-series patterns. Our empirical analysis demonstrates that CTMN outperforms traditional methods, achieving up to a 20.82% improvement in prediction accuracy across key performance metrics, including Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). These findings indicate that CTMN provides a scalable, robust solution for enhancing signal strength prediction and optimizing network performance in next-generation mobile networks.

Creative Documentary Research Data Methodology for mixing the Qualitative Research Methods and collecting research data through surveys, interviews, observations, group discussions and seminars, literature analysis, and field research.to let the educational audience understand and learn the historical background and aesthetic knowledge of Tang Sancai Pottery Figurines.  Sancai is a versatile decoration on Chinese pottery and other painted pieces using glazes or slip, predominantly in the three colors of brown (or amber), green, and creamy off-white. Tang Sancai Pottery Figurines is three-colored pottery in Kilns near Xi'an and Luoyang. During the Tang Dynasty, porcelain pottery appeared. Porcelain is ceramic pottery characterized by its white, translucent appearance. It is known for its durability and is often used for making delicate and intricate objects such as vases, bowls, and figurines. This research focused on the inheritance strategy of traditional handicrafts combined with education in the regional cultural regeneration system under the background of China's social transformation.  In social transformation, combining traditional handicrafts with modern education and cultivating the educational audience's awareness of protecting traditional culture can not only allow handicraft skills to continue in the classroom. It is also conducive to the survival and development of traditional handicrafts in their place of origin can reshape the regional cultural identity of traditional handicrafts, promote the diversity and innovation of different cultures, traditions, and perspectives, and how to promote cultural diversity, equity, and harmony education and enhance cultural confidence and national identity.
Attitudes towards learning English for specific purposes (ESP): A study on changes in attitudes of international studies students at Saigon university
Authors: Hoang Quoc
Published: December 2024

English for specific purposes (ESP) is absolutely indispensable in any university programs in countries where English is not an official language. After finishing ESP courses, students are expected to approach the best practices that have already been in place around the world. However, students’ attitudes towards ESP are considered as one of the challenges in ESP teaching practice. On this account, this study was conducted to investigate the changes in students’ attitudes towards ESP courses to make some significant suggestions to the future practices in ESP teaching and learning. To achieve this objective, two surveys, called pre-course and post-course ones, were conducted at Saigon University with the participation of 165 students in the pre-course survey and 146 students in the post-course one. They all major in International Studies and have completed an ESP course. The findings show that there are negative and positive changes in students’ attitudes towards the ESP course after they took the ESP course, compared to the result of the survey conducted before the ESP course. The negative changes in students’ attitudes are mainly due to teaching methods and partly due to assessment methods whereas the positive changes in students’ attitudes are partly due to the content of the course. From these findings, the program managers need to make necessary changes to teaching methods to foster students’ motivation, to assessment methods to increase students’ satisfaction, and to the content of the ESP course to improve students’ learning outcomes.

Authors: Maqbali Rashid Al , Khudari Mohamed
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this research is to analyze how different types of leadership impact productivity in the Omani food business. In this case, we adopt a mixed-methods strategy, combining quantitative data from surveys given to 300 professionals with qualitative findings gleaned from in-depth interviews. The statistical investigations undertaken in this study comprise regression analysis as a means to explore the relationships between different leadership styles and performance outcomes. This study uses a mixed-method approach to its research design, combining qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys with a total sample size of 300 people. The regression study shows a favorable connection (r=0.60, p0.001) between transformative leadership and productivity in the workplace. Both employee performance (=0.60) and organizational success (=0.55) are positively correlated with transformative leadership. Transactional leadership is associated with improvement in both metrics. The two types of leadership, autocratic and laissez-faire, are not significantly linked. When compared to transactional leadership, transformational leadership is seen as having a more significant impact on organizational outcomes. The importance of acknowledgment and innovation is highlighted, and a fuller picture of leadership dynamics is shown, thanks to qualitative research. Practitioners can use the book as a guide to adopting a well-rounded approach to leadership in the dynamic environment of the Omani food industry. Despite its limitations, this study adds important depth to the discussion of what makes for good leadership. These results provide valuable insights that could guide future research and strategic planning efforts.
