General Manager Succession in Multinational Enterprise Subsidiaries
Authors: Li Arthur
Published: November 2024

This dissertation, based on interviews with over 40 managers and quantitative data on over 1,900 foreign subsidiaries, aims to provide new insights regarding subsidiary general manager (GM) changes in multinational enterprises (MNEs). I study continual GM change, individual succession event, the decision-making process through which different types of subsidiary GM successors are selected, and how they link to subsidiary performance. I found that GM succession decisions are path dependent and evolving, can be influenced by MNE environments, and need to be based on both GM successor nationality and origin. My dissertation underscores the complexity of subsidiary GM succession and bridges succession strategy with implementation.

Amphibians are among the most globally threatened vertebrates, with habitat loss and degradation being the primary drivers of their decline. While natural wetlands are essential for amphibian survival, artificial habitats can also play a significant role as refuges, especially in human-altered landscapes. This study examines the role of artificial waterbodies in supporting amphibian populations within villages and human-disturbed areas of Peneda-Gerês National Park (PNPG) in northern Portugal, a unique protected area recognized for its rich natural and cultural heritage. We conducted surveys across 162 natural (ponds, streams, stream pockets, caves) and artificial (tanks, drains, fountains, cave-like structures), waterbodies, to assess species richness, abundance, and breeding activity in human-altered landscapes within PNG. A total of ten amphibian species were observed, with natural waterbodies showing higher species richness and occupancy rates. The Iberian frog (Rana iberica) was the most abundant species, found primarily in natural habitats, where it bred exclusively. Although the fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) was also most common in natural waterbodies, it bred across a wide range of both natural and artificial waterbodies. In contrast, the endemic Bosca’s newt (Lissotriton boscai) and the marbled newt (Triturus marmoratus) were more prevalent in artificial waterbodies, particularly in historic water tanks. These water tanks, traditionally used for laundry and water storage in local villages, were crucial for these amphibians, with approximately two-thirds occupied and over a quarter serving as breeding sites for four different species—supporting more species than all the natural waterbodies combined. These findings emphasize the need to integrate the conservation of both natural and artificial aquatic habitats to sustain amphibian biodiversity, particularly in human-altered landscapes like PNPG. As climate change diminishes natural breeding sites, artificial waterbodies can offer crucial refuges that complement natural habitats, playing a vital role in protecting both biodiversity and the region's cultural heritage.
Molecular basis of senescence in osteoarthritis
Authors: Lawson Maria G. , Ritchison Heather M.
Published: November 2024

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifaceted degenerative joint disorder with substantial global socioeconomic implications. Cellular senescence, defined by permanent cell cycle arrest, has been identified as a critical contributor to OA progression, driving the disruption of cartilage homeostasis and structural integrity. Here, we first delve into the molecular triggers of senescence in OA, including impaired DNA damage response, telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative and autophagic stresses, epigenetic modifications, and dysregulated sirtuins and noncoding RNAs. These factors collectively contribute to the establishment of a senescent phenotype in joint tissues, perpetuating the degenerative processes observed in OA. Later, we present the pro-inflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) as a driving force behind senescence-mediated OA progression that fuels chronic inflammation via the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and matrix-degrading enzymes, disrupts tissue repair mechanisms, and alters the microenvironment to favor catabolic processes, further exacerbating joint degeneration. The interplay between these factors highlights the complexity of senescence-driven degeneration in OA, underscoring the need for deeper insights into molecular basis of the disease. This review aims to illuminate these mechanisms, providing a foundation for understanding the cellular and molecular pathways that drive senescence in OA and identifying knowledge gaps to guide future research on this pervasive disease.

Authors: Yücel Katı  , Cemal Çevik
Published: November 2024

In this research, it was aimed to evaluate effectiveness of acupuncture treatment in dry eye disease by using meta-analysis. In total, 10 researches with 11 samples were used in the study among evaluated 645 researches on acupuncture on academic databases. Female and male ratios, ages, Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and Schirmer I test (SIT) levels of patients in researches were recorded. In total, 349 patients were subjected to the study including 260 (74.50%) female and 89 male (25.50%) dry eye patients. Mean age was 50.46 with 22.37-60.71 range. Initial OSDI mean was 50.46 and final OSDI mean was 34.71 with -14.32 mean OSDI difference. SIT difference mean was 0.96 with 5.92 initial and 7.75 final mean values. Spearman’s rho correlation analysis results showed that female frequency, male frequency and age were not significantly correlated with OSDI and SIT difference (p>0.05). Generalized Linear model (Logit) results showed that age had significant effect on OSDI difference (OR=-0.205; p<0.05), and effects of gender and age on SIT difference were statistically insignificant (p>0.05).Acupuncture provides important results in terms of stimulating the lacrimal glands in patients with dry eyes and allowing more tears to be produced. Although acupuncture method provides effective results for both genders, its effect is more in young individuals than in older individuals.

The riverbank of the Cisadane in South Tangerang, Indonesia, is experiencing erosion issues due to significant fluctuations in water levels and currents. Planting trees with deep and dense root, such as Kiray trees, on the riverbank slopes can help slow down the erosion. Many institutions/individuals have planted trees in the area; however, the survival rate of the tree saplings is rarely monitored. The monitoring of 50 Kiray trees planted by Binus University in June 2024 shows that only 50% of the saplings survive after 2 months. In order to improve the survival rate, it is necessary to monitor the growth of the trees in more detail. This study proposed to develop a mobile application that can be used by many people to register and monitor the growth of the planted trees. The mobile application have been designed based-on the discussion with the riverbank community, to allow multiple users to register and update the data of the trees, including their height and location from time to time.

The partner in this PKM (Community Service Program) is the Indonesian Community Organization (PERMAI) MSMEs in Penang, Malaysia. These MSMEs, which produce a variety of products such as food, beverages, and handicrafts, have shown promising growth. However, this development must be complemented by advancements in information technology, particularly in digital marketing, finance, accounting, and academic knowledge. Despite the rapid growth of digital media, many MSME actors within PERMAI face challenges in effectively utilizing digital marketing. The lack of skills in this area hampers their ability to compete in an increasingly digital marketplace. As a result, the need for training in digital marketing has become crucial for these MSME players. This program aims to provide MSME actors in PERMAI with the necessary skills to master digital marketing. First, many of them have not fully utilized digital platforms to promote their products. Second, without these digital marketing competencies, it becomes difficult for MSMEs to stay competitive in the market. The training focuses on providing directed mentoring, tailored to the specific needs of the MSMEs, to help them effectively adopt digital marketing strategies and enhance their business operations in the long run.

الذكاء العاطفي: مفهومه ومجالاته ومهاراته في ضوء هدايات القرآن الكريم – دراسة تحليلية موضوعية
Authors: Bey Zekkoub Abdelali
Published: November 2024

Western scholars such as Goleman, Salovey, Mayer, Edward, Bar-On, and others have authored numerous books on emotional intelligence. However, they approached the subject through the lens of their own religions and philosophies, largely overlooking the unique Qurʾānic contribution in this regard. Similarly, Eastern educational psychologists have followed in their footsteps, without attempting to align this subject with Qurʾānic principles. Such alignment could have facilitated a deeper understanding of Qurʾānic teachings on self-management, interacting with the surrounding environment, and dealing with the universe in a sound and stable manner. Furthermore, it could have promoted the development of emotional intelligence skills based on instructions and role models found in the Noble Qurʾān. In light of these considerations, this research aims to establish a clear concept of emotional intelligence, explore its domains, and define its skills within a comprehensive Qurʾānic framework, utilizing an inductive-analytical and deductive approach. Key findings include: (1) Emotional intelligence is the active positive sentiment in this life; towards the Creator, oneself, others, the Earth entrusted to us, and the universe; (2) Emotional intelligence domains are categorized into five categories: Religious, Psychological, Social, Environmental, and Divine Laws; (3) Forty emotional intelligence skills have been identified, inspired by Qurʾānic verses. Finally, it suggests further studies to integrate emotional intelligence within its Quranic context, enriching understanding and application across various facets of life.

Published: November 2024

Background: This study explores the captivating query about how olfactory stimulation affects neural activity, particularly examining changes in the absolute and relative power of lower frequency waves (delta and theta across various brain regions). This investigation employs Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) to analyze the effects of exposure to the aroma of lemongrass (Cymbopogon Citratus) essential oil. Aim: To evaluate the impact of inhaling lemongrass (Cymbopogon Citratus) essential oil aroma on EEG patterns in awake healthy female adults, employing power spectral analysis. Materials and Method: In this self-controlled experiment, 30 healthy adult female participants were exposed to the water mist as control and after taking baseline recording, they inhaled aromatic mist from room air, and again brain activities were recorded using QEEG. Data was collected from scalp electrodes readings and outcomes from before and after exposure to the aroma were compared. This analysis was strengthened by comparing the results between exposure to water mist and oil mist employing the Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed Rank Test. Results: Significant elevation of absolute and relative power of theta in prefrontal region (p=0.002; p=0.000) along with rise of delta and theta absolute power in frontal area (p=0.000; p=0.000) was observed. Conclusion: This study sheds light onto the background oscillatory fluctuations in lower frequency bands that may indicate more relaxed state of brain activity due to inhalation of lemongrass essential oil.

Students sometimes visited doctor before taking antibiotics and they practiced self-medication because it seems convenient to them. Common symptoms for self-medication were fever, diarrhea, runny nose, cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, aches and pain. Sources of medicines were pharmacy, personal stocks and doctor parents. The relationship between self-medication and year of study, occupation of the father or mother of the respondents, monthly family income were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Self-medication among medical students is very common practice. The study recommends to increase awareness and promote safe practice about self-medication with antibiotics to prevent the emergence of antibiotic resistance and other adverse effects.

Published: November 2024

Background: The global rise of obesity is alarming, not only for its increasing prevalence but also for its constellation of associated diseases that diminish life quality and expectancy. In developing countries like Bangladesh, tackling obesity-related metabolic and other morbidities pose a significant challenge. Obesity demonstrably strengthens the links between diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke, and even mortality associated with these events. This study investigated the connection between body mass index (BMI) and glycemic status (measured by HbA1c) of both diabetic and non-diabetic obese individuals in Bangladesh, along with the spectrum of morbidities leading to hospitalization. Understanding these connections empower clinicians to prioritize specific management goals and ultimately lessen obesity-related morbidity in this population.
Materials and Method: This prospective observational study has been carried out at a tertiary hospital among 50 patients with clinical obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2 ) and excluded those with pathological causes of obesity, e.g. hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, etc. The anthropometric measurement, glycemic status, and obesity related complications were recorded for all patients. BMI was stratified into three groups, Group I (BMI 30.1-40 kg/m2), Group II (BMI 40.1-50 kg/m2) and Group III (BMI >50 kg/m2) where HbA1c in these groups were compared to find out any association including morbidity. Data analysis was performed with SPSS for windows version 22.0 and then was presented in tables and charts.
Results: The cohort included 41 (82.0%) women and 9 (18.0%) men. The mean age of the obese patients was 54.71 years with almost half being in the age group of 51-60 years (46.0%). Majority i.e. 43 (86.0%) of the patients had a BMI ranging from 30.1-40 kg/m2. Among the study subjects, 28 had diabetes mellitus (56%) and the rest were non-diabetic (44%).  There was a significant relationship found between HbA1c and BMI of the obese patients with diabetes mellitus (p = 0.009). Scatter diagram showed significant correlation between BMI and HbA1c in obese diabetes patients (r=0.622; p=0.001).
Conclusion: This study identified a positive correlation between BMI and HbA1c in diabetic patients, but not in non-diabetic ones. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms at play in non-diabetic patients with higher BMI.

MOBILENET PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS FOR DEEPFAKE IMAGE IDENTIFICATION USING ACTIVATION FUNCTION AND REGULARIZATION
Authors: Noprisson Handrie , Ayumi Vina , Purba Mariana , Ani Nur
Published: November 2024

Deepfake images are often used to spread false information, manipulate public opinion, and harm individuals by creating fake content, making developing deepfake detection technology essential to mitigate these potential dangers. This study utilized the MobileNet architecture by applying regularization and activation function methods to improve detection accuracy. ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) enhances the model's efficiency and ability to capture non-linear features, while Dropout and L2 regularization help reduce overfitting by penalizing large weights, thereby improving generalization. Based on experimental results, the MobileNet model optimized with ReLU and Dropout achieved an accuracy of 99.17% in the training phase, 85.34% in validation, and 70.60% in testing, whereas the MobileNet model optimized with ReLU and L2 showed lower accuracy in the training and validation phases compared to Dropout but achieved higher accuracy in testing at 72.18%. This study recommends MobileNet with ReLU and L2 due to its better generalization ability when testing data (resulting from reduced overfitting).
AVRUPA’DA POPÜLİST RADİKAL SAĞ VE KÜLTÜR SAVAŞLARI: İTALYA’NIN KARDEŞLERİ PARTİSİ ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: Saylan İbrahim
Published: November 2024

Popülist radikal sağ siyasetin kültür savaşları ile yakın ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. Kültür savaşları popülizmin yükselişini açıklamakta kullanılan bir değişken olmasının yanı sıra, popülist radikal sağ ideoloji ve siyasetin önemli bir bileşenini oluşturmaktadır. Ekonomik açıdan sosyal politikaları dışlamayan ama neoliberalizmi temel alan, siyaseten otoriterlik ve kültürel olarak muhafazakârlık paydalarında buluşan popülist radikal sağ partiler toplumlarında var olan kültürel bölünmeleri siyasal çıkarları için kullanmaktadırlar. Ancak bu partilerin kültür savaşlarındaki tutumları sadece iktidar stratejileriyle açıklanamaz. Çünkü bu partiler ideolojik olarak muhafazakâr kültürel programa sahip ve liberal/sol değerlere karşı kültür savaşları yürüten partilerdir. Siyasal sistemde yerleşik birer güce dönüştükçe bu alanda daha etkili hale gelmektedirler. İtalya’da 2022 yılında iktidara gelen İtalya’nın Kardeşleri Partisi (Fratelli d’Italia – FdI) bu anlamda dikkate değer bir örnektir. “Tanrı, Aile ve Anavatan” değerleri temelindeki söylemleri FdI’nin iktidar yürüyüşünde ve hükümet politikalarında etkili olmuştur. Liberal/sol kültürel değerlerin İtalya’daki hegemonyasını kırmayı amaçladığını ilan eden FdI örneği, popülistlerin kültür savaşlarında Batı Avrupa’da da güç kazanmakta olduğunu göstermektedir.

Authors: Coen Anna , Cravotta Andrea , Romano Piera , Tarallo Chiara
Published: November 2024

La richiesta di progettare e sperimentare un’attività con la metodologia del Digital Interactive Storytelling in Matematica (DIST-M) durante un corso di formazione per docenti in servizio si è rivelata un’efficace opportunità di sviluppo professionale. Vengono qui presentate le riflessioni degli autori in merito alle ricadute e alle potenzialità di una sperimentazione didattica attuata secondo il quadro teorico e il protocollo del DIST-M, in riferimento alla progettazione per competenze, all’interazione tramite Moodle, che offre la possibilità di esaminare le discussioni di classe attraverso la trascrizione delle chat, e alla modalità immersiva dello storytelling, che ha richiesto a docenti e studenti di agire impersonando personaggi con ruoli predefiniti, alternando le modalità di attore e di osservatore. In particolare, viene evidenziato come la metodologia del DIST-M possa diventare utile strumento di valutazione formativa degli studenti, nonché occasione di autovalutazione per docenti e studenti riflessivi.
