Authors: Lusambili Maynard , Kimamo Charles , Muthami Josephine Muthoni
Published: December 2023

This study investigated the role of resilience in the traumatic events of June and July 2016, when more than 130 high schools were set ablaze. Learning was disrupted. The survivors were gripped with trauma symptoms and signs. This impaired their mental health and functioning. They needed psychological adjustment in order to return to normalcy. There were 835 students. Self-revealing questionnaires were adopted to gather information for analysis. The findings showed a link between resilience, adaptation, and functioning. Resilience and Mindful lessons were not taught in schools, and most schools missed out on facilities that would instill resilience among students.

В этом исследовании изучалась роль устойчивости к травмирующим событиям июня и июля 2016 года, когда было подожжено более 130 средних школ. Обучение было сорвано. Выжившие были охвачены симптомами и признаками постравматического синдрома. Это нанесло ущерб их психическому здоровью и функционированию. Им нужна была психологическая корректировка, чтобы вернуться к нормальной жизни. Было опрошено 835 студентов. Для сбора информации и для анализа разработана специализированная анкета. Результаты показали связь между психологической устойчивостью, адаптацией и функционированием. Уроки психологической устойчивости и осознанности не преподавали в школах, и в большинстве школ не хватало средств, которые могли бы привить учащимся психологическую устойчивость.

Päihde- ja riippuvuushuollon kipupisteet:
Authors: Rantala Pauliina , Hellman Matilda , Alanko Anna
Published: December 2023

Sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon uudistus on tuonut suomalaisen päihde- ja riippuvuushuollon siirtymävaiheeseen. Tässä artikkelissa kartoitamme asiantuntijoiden ja ammattilaisten näkemyksiä päihde- ja riippuvuushuollon nykytilasta. Olemme analysoineet Riippuvuuskysely 2020 -tutkimuksessa kerättyä laadullista aineistoa aineistolähtöisellä sisällönanalyysillä. Tarkastelun teoreettisena viitekehyksenä on keskustelu hyvinvointivaltion vastuusta ja hyvinvointivaltion vastuuvelvollisuuden käsite.
Analyysin perusteella päihdehuollon vastuuvelvollisuuden toteutumisessa hahmottuu kaksi kipupistettä: (i) järjestelmän työnjakoon ja sisäisiin rooleihin liittyvät haasteet sekä (ii) saavutettavuuteen ja järjestelmän valmiuksiin liittyvät haasteet.
Kyselyn osallistujat korostivat moniammatillisuuden ja toimivan tehtäväjaon varmistamista, korjaavien ja ennaltaehkäisevien palveluiden tasapainoa ja ennaltaehkäisyn merkitystä. He kaipasivat myös palveluiden jakautumisen riskin tiedostamista ja huomioimista. Käsitys hyvinvointiyhteiskunnan vastuuvelvollisuudesta näyttäytyy suurena taustavaikuttajana: kyselyn vastaajat painottavat hyvinvointipluralismin arvoja ja järjestelmän valmiutta käsitellä universalismin ja partikularismin välistä jännitettä. Päihde- ja riippuvuushuollon vastuita osallistujat pohtivat monitahoisesti, muun muassa oikeudenmukaisuuden perspektiivistä ja valottamalla sosiaali- ja terveysalojen keskenään kilpailevia näkemyksiä.
Haavoittuvuuden etiikka hoidossa ja kliinisessä tutkimuksessa
Authors: Lindholm Oskar , Karjalainen Sakari , Launis Veikko
Published: December 2023

Haavoittuvuutta on perinteisesti kuvattu sekä yksilöön että ryhmään tai ihmisyhteisöön liittyvänä ominaisuutena. Haavoittuvina ryhminä on pidetty esimerkiksi pakolaisia, eri tavoin vammaisia ja vakavasti sairastuneita. Haavoittuvuutta pidetään tärkeänä ilmiönä, mutta itse käsitteen määritteleminen teoreettisesti tyydyttävällä ja käytäntöön soveltuvalla tavalla on osoittautunut vaikeaksi. Haavoittuviksi määriteltyjen ihmisten tai ryhmien kuvaukset ovat usein joko rajauksiltaan epämääräisiä tai liian laajoja ja kategorisia. Määrittelemme tässä artikkelissa haavoittuvuuden tavalla, joka ratkaisee aiempiin määritelmiin liittyviä ongelmia ja jota voidaan käytännössä hyödyntää terveydenhuollossa ja lääketieteellisessä tutkimuksessa väärinkohtelun välttämiseksi ja haittojen minimoimiseksi. Esittelemme ihmisarvon kunnioittamisen vaatimukselle rakentuvan periaate-etiikan näkökulmasta keskitason moraaliperiaatteita täydentävän haavoittuvuuden periaatteen. Se määrittelee terveydenhuollon toimijoille velvollisuuden pyrkiä tunnistamaan potilaan haavoittuvuus ja ehkäisemään tälle mahdollisesti koituvia haittoja.

A heightened emphasis on business recovery and expansion characterizes the post-pandemic era. According to reports, numerous organizations in Malaysia have encountered a decline in their business performance due to the ongoing pandemic. The restoration of the company's performance is significantly dependent on its human resources. The performance of employees is a critical factor that determines the success or failure of an organization. Given the unfavourable circumstances, it is imperative to recognize the issues that may impact employee performance during crisis recovery. Therefore, individuals who exhibit a high level of commitment towards an organization are more inclined to exert more significant effort and dedication compared to their less devoted counterparts. Hence, this research investigates the correlation between the independent variables, specifically management support, remuneration and benefits, colleague support, and job security, and the dependent variable of employee work performance. This research employs Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory to elucidate the correlation between the independent and dependent variables. The present study employs a quantitative methodology, utilizing an online questionnaire as the significant data collection instrument. 86 responses were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 27. The study results indicate a favourable and statistically significant correlation between colleague support, job security, and employee work performance. There is no significant association between managerial support, compensation, and benefits and employee work performance. The primary determinant in this study is the level of assistance colleagues provide. The factors of colleague support and job security are indicative of hygiene considerations, which serve to mitigate employee unhappiness. Hence, the findings of this research can serve as a valuable framework for organizations to improve their managerial practices, particularly concerning fostering colleague support and ensuring job security to raise satisfaction with work and subsequently boost employee job performance.

Cylinder Spark Ignition Engine Operation
Authors: Mohammud @ Mahmood Mohd Mahadzir , Mohd Fauzi Ahmad Faiz , Ismail Noor Iswadi , Mahamad Basri Mahamad Hisyam , Mohamad Shamsul 
Published: December 2023

In the operation of SI engines, alternative biomass fuels such as rice husk can be
utilized. This will contribute limit the consumption of fossil fuels. The dual-fuel
approach can also be employed on SI engines. One of the solutions that can be employed
in dual-fuel SI engines with gasoline is producer gas, a flammable gas created by
biomass gasification. However, the numerous methods of incorporating gases into SI
engines necessitate substantial investigation. In this study, producer gas and gasoline
are combined and fed into an SI engine. The dual fuel is used to power the
single-cylinder SI engine. The most optimal operation of the Y-shaped mixing chamber is
investigated. Experiments were conducted to determine the optimal air-producer gas ratio
values based on the SI engine's ability to operate in time at idle. Two variables were
chosen as inputs: air producer gas ratio and fuel mixture percentage. According to the
study's findings, an air-producer-gas ratio of 1.5:1 with 50% gasoline results in better
mixing. The single-cylinder SI engine has been running smoothly and longer than other
parameters without knocking.

Published: December 2023

Reverse engineering is an extraction process of design data from an existing
product in order to get its 3D model by data acquisition method. This type of
engineering is often applied in software engineering, biomedical field, and parts
restoration. The main reasons for implementing reverse engineering are due to obsolete
parts, unavailable spare parts and the absence of documentation design.. The objective
of the work is to reproduce an automotive part utilizing a 3D printer from data
acquisition and CAD model. The reverse engineering technique in this work involves data
acquisition, surface and model construction, post-processing and fabrication of the
final product. One of the equipment in the non-contact method, the 3D scanner is used to
extract design data from the master part. Then, the scanned model is transferred to
Solidworks in order to reconstruct the missing features in the model. The findings show
that the reverse engineering technique used in this work can reproduce the automative
part which is near net-shape of the master part. However, the CAD model require some
surface and model reconstruction due to data loss during the conversion of information
from scanning data to CAD data. After the final product is fabricated using a 3D
printer, it is compared with the master part in terms of the difference of dimensions
found between them. Besides, the data loss occurred throughout data acquisition is also
discussed in this work. As a conclusion, reverse engineering should be the best
alternative to reproduce an object without any design details provided.

Authors: Anwar Rully Khairul , Saepudin Encang , Rukmana Evi Nursanti
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to investigate local communities’ participation in eco-tourism projects by using the community of Situ Cisanti located in Tarumajaya Village, West Java as a case. Data were gathered through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis. Observations and in-depth interviews were conducted simultaneously for two months, from September to October 2021. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 informants from the elements; village government officials of Tarumajaya, Perhutani, and local communities who participated in the Situ Cisanti eco-tourism project, which was completed through a documents analysis. According to the findings, local community participation in Situ Cisanti eco-tourism consists of conservation and economic participation. Conservation participation is demonstrated by their participation in restoration and greening activities such as reforestation, etc. in Situ Cisanti and its surroundings, whereas economic participation is demonstrated by the establishment of stalls, culinary, coffee, souvenir, and homestay businesses as a result of Situ Cisanti eco-tourism. Furthermore, the existence of this eco-tourism has empowered women because new business opportunities that arise are not only run by men but also by women. As a result, this study implies that the participation of local eco-tourism communities not only has an impact on empowering conservation knowledge and economics, but it can also imply women empowerment.

Determinants of Profitability in Railway Transport of Selected Companies in the European Union
Authors: Gligić Toni , Herceg Tomislav
Published: December 2023

This paper explores the factors affecting the net profit margins of railway companies, a relatively under-researched topic. The analysis focuses on ten railway companies within the European Union from 2010 to 2019. Historically, the railway has played a critical role in economic growth, especially during the first industrial revolution. Despite its influence waning in the latter half of the 20th century, it remains an integral component of the economy. The current rise of the green economy provides a vital motivation to focus on railways as a research subject. In this study, the authors examine the effect of six factors on the net profit margin of railway companies. The results indicate that the number of passengers, labour productivity, and the number of employees positively influence the net profit margin. Interestingly, the paper finds evidence of economies of scale in passenger transport but not goods transport. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the number of employees positively affects the net profit margin, contradicting the widely held assumption about the low productivity of workers in the public sector and state-owned companies.
Crowdfunding as a Financing Alternative for Entrepreneurial Ventures
Authors: Rončević Ante , Šafarić Petra Furdi
Published: December 2023

Entrepreneurs often use various sources of financing to finalise an entrepreneurial idea. Crowdfunding on specialised internet platforms is an alternative method for collecting funds from several small sources for business investments and projects. The biggest difference between crowdfunding and other forms of financing is that crowdfunding uses smaller amounts of money from many investors interested in a business idea. Crowdfunding has been globally known for over a decade, and in Croatia, the interest has been growing for several years. The paper aims to demonstrate the importance and potential of crowdfunding, which, as a collective micro-investment of citizens, can serve as an alternative funding source for entrepreneurial ventures. The paper presents the research results conducted in Croatia based on the data collected through survey research. The paper investigates the knowledge and familiarity with the term and motives for investing through crowdfunding platforms.

Published: December 2023

This paper describes step by step the modelling and simulation of the open loop scalar command for a three-phase induction machine with known parameters, which operates in motor regime. In order to change the electromagnetic torque and implicitly the rotor speed, in this paper the solution of applying a positive mechanical torque from outside the machine was chosen, without dynamically adjusting the supply voltage. The chosen mathematical model for the induction machine is the one described by Krause’s equations, written in a stationary reference frame. The simulations were done on the Matlab/Simulink simulation environment and the behaviour of the machine was monitored under the working conditions listed above.

Authors: SEREBRYAKOVA Tat'yana Yu. , SEMENOV Artur A.
Published: December 2023

Subject. This article deals with the issues of ensuring the objectivity of the interpretation of accounting (financial) statements when evaluating them using financial ratios and other analytical indicators in connection with the adoption of Federal Accounting Standard (FSBU) – Accounting for Leases, which leads to a change in the concept of accounting and the operation of the principle of property segregation.
Objectives. The article aims to study the impact of the new rules for accounting for lease relations on the results of the analysis of financial statements.
Methods. For the study, we used the general scientific cognition methods, economic analysis, and the logical approach.
Results. The article presents the results of the assessment of the impact of the new rules of accounting for lease transactions on financial ratios usually used in the analysis of accounting (financial) statements.
Conclusions. Modern standardization of accounting leads to the reformatting of accounting (financial) statements. Particularly, critical changes were introduced by Federal Accounting Standard (FSBU) – Accounting for Leases. More research is needed on the development of new criteria for assessing financial ratios and the use of not only industry criteria, but also the materiality of the share of leased funds recognized as assets in the accounting records. The results of the study are intended for the development of the methodology and practice of analysis of financial statements, as well as a critical look at the accounting standard for lease accounting.

Institutional environment of innovative development of Russian regions – Theoretical treatment, empirical analysis
Authors: TRESHCHEVSKII Yurii I. , ZAGORNAYA Tat'yana O. , IBRAGIMKHALILOVA Tat'yana V. , PRACHENKO Anton A.
Published: December 2023

Subject. This article discusses the relationship between innovation, economic processes and the institutional environment, as well as the motivation to consume and save.
Objectives. The article aims to identify the vectors of influence of the parameters of the institutional environment on the innovative development of regions.
Methods. For the study, we used the methods of logical, cluster, correlation and regression, and comparative analyses.
Results. Calculations of the propensity to save and the propensity to immobilize savings show the absence of functions that describe their dynamics with sufficient reliability. During the analyzed period, the scalar and vector values of the indicator changed in a wide range, which is an unfavorable factor for the innovative development of the region. The institutional component of the economic behavior of producers of goods and services has a pronounced innovation orientation, in contrast to the consumer sector.
Conclusions. The contradiction between the institutional and economic vectors of innovative development in the region is explained by the unstable dynamics of institutional indicators reflecting the behavior of consumers in the areas of consumption, savings, and investment. This circumstance requires the State's influence on the institutional parameters of the regional environment.

Dismenorea, diartikan sebagai nyeri haid, seringkali cukup berlebihan sehingga membatasi seorang perempuan ketika melakukan aktivitas normal. Seringkali, juga dapat bersamaan dengan gejala lainnya mencakup pusing, sakit kepala, muntah, mual dan diare yang dirasakan ketika haid. Angka kejadian dismenorea di Indonesia sebesar 64,25%, yang terdiri dari 9,36% dismenorea sekunder dan 54,89% dismenorea primer. Derajat dismenorea yang dialami setiap perempuan berbeda dan umumnya terjadi pada masa pubertas. Usia remaja sampai dewasa muda lebih rentan mengalami dismenorea karena beberapa faktor risiko, salah satunya ialah konsumsi makan cepat saji yang berlebih. Tujuan studi analitik cross sectional ini sebagai acuan untuk edukasi tentang kebiasaan konsumsi makanan cepat saji terhadap kaitannya dengan dismenorea. Pengambilan data 196 mahasiswi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Tarumanagara angkatan 2020-2022 menggunakan teknik non-random consecutive sampling. Pengambilan data tingkat nyeri dismenorea dan pola konsumsi makanan cepat saji menggunakan kuesioner visual analogue scale (VAS) yang dikombinsikan dengan numeric rating scale (NRS) serta semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQFFQ). Data yang didapatkan mayoritas mengalami dismenorea sedang (126 subjek; 64,3%) dan sebagian besar sering mengonsumsi makanan cepat saji (131 subjek; 66,8%).  Analisis secara statistik didapatkan hubungan yang signifikan antara dismenore dengan kebiasaan konsumsi makanan cepat saji (p-value = 0,047).

Fitokimia merupakan antioksidan yang berperan dalam penghambatan stres oksidatif. Senyawa ini digolongkan dalam empat kelas utama yaitu terpenoid, alkaloid, glikosida, dan polifenol. Stres oksidatif dapat timbul karena ketidak seimbangan antara radikal bebas dengan antioksidan di dalam tubuh akibat kurangnya antioksidan atau meningkatnya radikal bebas seperti reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), dan reactive sulfur species (RSS). Namun jika jumlah radikal bebas berlebihan, dapat menyebabkan kerusakan sel yang akan menyebabkan percepatan penuaan dan penyakit degeneratif. Antioksidan dari luar dibutuhkan untuk membantu menyeimbangkan kembali, dan salah satunya didapat dengan mengonsumsi buah dan sayur. Penelitian termasuk penelitian eksperimental bersifat in vitro dan bioassay terhadap ekstrak buah aprikot. Pada uji in vitro, terdiri dari uji fitokimia, uji fenolik dan alkaloid total, uji kapasitas total antioksidan, metabolit sekunder. Sedangkan uji bioassay menggunakan uji toksisitas BSLT. Kemudian, melakukan ekstraksi menggunakan metode perkolasi dan untuk uji kapasitas antioksidan menggunakan metode DPPH. Uji fitokimia menunjukkan buah aprikot mengandung alkaloid, flavonoid, kardioglikosida, saponin, kumarin, fenolik, kuinon, betasianin, antosianin dan tannin. Uji kapasitas antioksidan DPPH didapatkan IC50 78,656 mg/mL. Uji toksisitas didapatkan LC50 sebesar 306,846 µg/mL.

Irregular Migration: Factors and Policies That Influence Irregular Migration from Sub-Saharan Africa to the EU
Authors: Fred Egwu
Published: December 2023

Over the past decades, there has been an increase in the number of African asylum seekers applying for international protection in the European Union (EU). In 2015, more than one million people crossed the Mediterranean Sea, risking their lives to reach European soil. African asylum seekers and other irregular migrants now find themselves at the centre of the political debate on immigration in Europe. Although human migration is not a new development in our world today, how people migrate, where people migrate to, the routes people migrate by, and the consequences of their migration have generated different perspectives on migration, especially irregular migration. This article aims to explore the causes and motivations of African asylum-seekers who enter Europe to seek international protection. The study will then robustly examine the EU policies that seek to reduce the number of African asylum seekers who arrive in the EU, focusing on the EU Border Management Agency (FRONTEX) and the European Union Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF). It proceeds to consider these policies in light of the experiences of asylum seekers who have encountered them firsthand. The study will conclude by dismissing financial aid as a means of reducing the number of African asylum seekers arriving in the EU and will make a recommendation as to how the EU might address this issue.

Globally, customer satisfaction remains a major predictor of brand loyalty and customer satisfaction in the telecommunication industry. Regardless of this, mobile telecommunication firms in Kenya are yet to achieve the required brand loyalty levels. This is evident given the high levels of switching freedom and churn rate levels, which rose from 21.20% to 31.45% in Safaricom, while in Airtel, this rose from 4.9% to 6.0% in 2021. Studies on the relationship between customer satisfaction and brand loyalty revealed both positive and negative results. The main purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. The study hinged on the theory of planned behaviour. The research used descriptive research design. The target population was 124,849 subscribers drawn from four telecoms: Safaricom, Airtel, Telecom and Equitel. The stratified sampling technique was used to select a representative sample of 443 respondents. The primary data for the study was collected using a closed-ended survey instrument. Quantitative data was analyzed using both descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Correlation and Regression). The findings indicated that there is a positive and significant relationship between customer satisfaction and brand loyalty, where customer satisfaction explained 50.9% of the variance in mobile telecommunication service providers' brand loyalty. The study concludes that customer satisfaction has a significant effect on brand loyalty. The study recommended that the telecom management should put more effort into service promptness, responsiveness, staff courtesy and customer understanding to enhance brand loyalty in their companies.

This study investigates the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into business processes and its effects on operational efficiency and customer satisfaction, focusing on two AI platforms, Zenith’s Virtual Banker, ZIVA and UBA’s Virtual Banker, LEO. Data were collected from respondents using a well-designed Google Form and were analysed using regression analysis. It was discovered that the major attractive features of LEO and ZIVA to customers included 24/7 availability for interaction, transaction processing, natural language processing (NLP) capabilities, personalized customer interactions. These features enhanced efficiency, customer engagement, and decision-making in business processes. Approximately 46% of respondents were satisfied that LEO improved customer satisfaction, while 50% were satisfied with ZIVA. Both platforms demonstrated a substantial positive impact on customer satisfaction, emphasizing their ability to enhance user experiences. Respondents showed a positive belief in the potential of both LEO and ZIVA to impact organizational processes positively, enhance decision-making, reduce response times for customer issues, and streamline business processes. While some skepticism exists, a substantial proportion held positive views, highlighting the importance of careful AI implementation. Analyses revealed that organizational processes had a significant positive impact on perceived improvement in operational efficiency for both LEO and ZIVA. Hypotheses were supported by statistical tests, indicating that both LEO and ZIVA improve customer experience and satisfaction, enhance operational efficiency, and contribute to revenue generation and business growth. In conclusion, the integration of AI, represented by LEO and ZIVA, offers substantial benefits in terms of improving customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. While some caution is warranted, these findings emphasize the transformative potential of AI in modern banking processes and underscore the need for continued research and development in the banking industry.

This paper studies the pros and cons of using mobile applications like Google Translate as a translation tool for non-Arabic speakers in Saudi Arabia. Translation Apps are simple to use, cost-free, and capable of providing direct translations. Some of them, like Google Translate, support many languages, making it an essential tool for people who need to translate material swiftly or survive in a foreign country. However, employing these tools has certain disadvantages as well. Although Translation Apps can be a helpful tool, it is vital to use caution and consider any potential drawbacks. The paper will highlight the challenges non-Arabic speakers face while decoding the texts and whether these apps can bridge linguistic gaps between the two cultures. The biggest issue with translating text or images with text is correctness and perfection, especially regarding creative and scientific works or contextual texts. The study's objectives are to examine the pros and cons of Translation Apps and the challenges and possible solutions concerning translating Arabic into English.
