The Choice between Family CEO and Non-Family CEO: What Are the Determinants?
Authors: Bozec Yves , Trottier Kim , Di Vito Jackie
Published: July 2024

We examine the factors that influence family firms that are no longer run by the founder, to appoint a chief executive officer from the family rather than from outside the family. Based on agency and signaling theories, we hypothesize that the concentration of family ownership and the presence of the founder increase the likelihood of appointing a family CEO, whereas the gap between voting rights and cash-flow rights (excess voting rights) decreases it. Our regression analyses of Canadian S&P/TSX family firms over the 2002–2008 period confirm our theory that contextual governance factors are good predictors of the type of CEO chosen in family firms.

Published: July 2024

Even though faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important food crop on worldwide basis, its use as a vegetable i.e. use of green seeds as food is limited. We were interested in characterizing production and food quality traits of faba bean grown in eastern USA. Our main objective is to develop faba bean as a winter alternative crop for this region to diversify cropping system that currently mainly depends upon cereal grain crops. This necessitates existence of winter-hardy faba bean varieties. We conducted a preliminary experiment with two winter-hardy faba bean breeding lines to record production and seed composition traits. Two faba bean lines (VSX-BL and VSX-BH) were planted in the field in November 2022 and green pods were harvested in June 2023 at physiological maturity. Values of most of the traits under study were statistically similar between the two lines except for concentration of phosphorus. Results demonstrated that faba bean green pod and green seeds yields could be approximately 5700 and 2100 kg ha-1. The shelling percent in green faba bean pods was approximately 37 whereas seed number per pod was approximately 2.6. Concentrations (g 100 g-1) of fructose, glucose, and sucrose were 0.245, 0.668, 2.9021, respectively whereas concentrations of Fe and Zn (mg kg-1) were 103.7 and 69.7, respectively. Green faba bean seeds contained small amounts of RFO carbohydrates. Seed composition traits of green faba bean seeds compare well with green seeds of pea, soybean, and white lupin. Our results provide a positive proof of concept that production of green faba bean as an alternate winter food legume crop in eastern USA is possible.

Published: July 2024

It is essential to implement effective weed management programs to minimize white bean yield loss from weed interference. Four field experiments were conducted during 2022 and 2023 to determine the efficacy of one-pass compared to two-pass weed control programs. This study evaluated trifluralin + S-metolachlor + imazethapyr or trifluralin + S-metolachlor + halosulfuron applied preplant incorporated (PPI), bentazon + fomesafen + quizalofop-p-ethyl applied postemergence (POST), and trifluralin + S-metolachlor + imazethapyr or trifluralin + S-metolachlor + halosulfuron applied PPI followed by (fb) bentazon + fomesafen + quizalofop-p-ethyl applied POST in white bean. There was minimal white bean injury (≤ 5%) with the herbicide programs evaluated. Weed interference decreased white bean yield 44%. Weed interference with bentazon + fomesafen + quizalofop-p-ethyl applied POST resulted in a 24% decrease in white bean seed yield compared to the weed-free control; however, all other PPI and PPI fb POST herbicide programs resulted in white bean seed yield that was similar to the weed-free control. Weed interference with the one-pass herbicide programs (PPI or POST) resulted in 17% lower white bean seed yield compared to the two-pass herbicide programs (PPI fb POST). Trifluralin + S-metolachlor + imazethapyr, applied PPI, controlled velvetleaf 85%, common ragweed 35%, common lambsquarters 96%, and green foxtail 80% at 8 weeks after the POST application (WAT). Trifluralin + S-metolachlor + halosulfuron, applied PPI, controlled velvetleaf 68%, common ragweed 87%, common lambsquarters 94% and green foxtail 56% at 8 WAT. Bentazon + fomesafen + quizalofop-p-ethyl, applied POST, controlled velvetleaf 86%, common ragweed 97%, common lambsquarters 34%, and green foxtail 29% at 8 WAT. Trifluralin + S-metolachlor + imazethapyr, applied PPI, followed by bentazon + fomesafen + quizalofop-p-ethyl, applied POST, controlled velvetleaf, common ragweed, common lambsquarters, and green foxtail 98, 97, 96, and 94%, respectively at 8 WAT. Trifluralin + S-metolachlor + halosulfuron, applied PPI, followed by bentazon + fomesafen + quizalofop-p-ethyl, applied POST, controlled velvetleaf, common ragweed, common lambsquarters, and green foxtail 97, 99, 97 and 93%, respectively at 8 WAT. Based on orthogonal contrast, the two-pass herbicide programs provided 17, 21, 20, and 38% greater control of velvetleaf, common ragweed, common lambsquarters, and green foxtail in comparison to the one-pass herbicide programs, respectively at 8 WAT. This study concludes that the two-pass herbicide programs of trifluralin + S-metolachlor + imazethapyr or trifluralin + S-metolachlor + halosulfuron applied PPI followed by bentazon + fomesafen + quizalofop-p-ethyl applied POST provides the most consistent weed control in white bean in Ontario.

Published: July 2024

Low pH in soils is attributed as the main contributor to the low yields characteristic in maize production regions of Angola. Here, eight white-kernel acid soil tolerant donor lines (ASTDLs) sourced from CIMMYT-Colombia (testers) were crossed with eight white elite lines adapted to the mid-altitude climatic conditions from CIMMYT-Zimbabwe, in order to identify donor lines, which can be potential sources of acid tolerance genes in breeding programmes in Angola. The two groups of parents were crossed using a line by tester (L×T) mating design, yielding 47 crosses with sufficient seed, which were evaluated alongside eight acid tolerant commercial hybrids, during the 2014-16 cropping seasons at nine sites, representing acid and non-acid soils in Angola and Zimbabwe. Effects of general combining ability (GCA) due to lines and testers, as well as specific combining ability (SCA) on grain yield were significant (P < 0.05) under acid soils. From the CIMMYT-Zimbabwe breeding programme, inbred lines identified as ZW1, ZW4 and ZW5 together with the CIMMYT-Colombia ASTDLs (i.e., CW4 and CW8) seemed to be ideal parents for crosses that can do well under both the acid and non-acid soils. The best specific cross for acid soils was identified as ZW1 × CW8 (CH142512), whereas for non-acid soils, ZW3 × CW4 (CH142500) was identified. Interestingly, the cross ZW1 × CW8 was also observed as stable under both acid and non-acid soil conditions. Overall, data showed potential of exotic acid tolerance donor lines for enhancing low-pH adaptation in sub-tropical maize populations.

The divider in the designed system produce 1/V of the signal and multiplier produces the average squared SNR signal. The last stage in this design circuit is a low pass filter necessary to implement the desired “average” measure of the signal to noise ratio (SNR). From simulation, the output voltage of SNR is 9.167mVp-p and from practical, the output voltage is 13.2mVp-p.
«En la era del aeroplano». La policía y sus modernidades en el periodo de entreguerras
Authors: Palacios Cerezales Diego
Published: July 2024

Durante el periodo de entreguerras se desarrolló en España una esfera pública policial en la que se renegoció el perfil profesional de la policía, siempre en diálogo con lo que se entendía como la modernidad y sus consecuencias. Este artículo analiza una selección de los temas en torno a los que giró esa renegociación: el esperanto, las tecnologías policiales y la centralización, así como la inserción de las policías españolas en procesos transnacionales. El artículo propone dos operaciones historiográficas: el abandono del uso analítico del concepto de modernización policial, para pasar a entenderlo como una categoría operativa en la historia, y la valorización del carácter activo de los y las policías en su propia historia.

nacionalismos en el banquillo: la lógica represiva de los movimientos nacionalistas y autonomistas durante la Segunda República
Authors: Pérez Trujillano Rubén
Published: July 2024

Este artículo analiza el discurso judicial que justificó la represión selectiva de ciertos movimientos regionalistas durante la Segunda República. Basándose en fuentes nuevas, estudia cómo la interpretación del derecho dio cobijo institucional a una versión autoritaria de la ideología nacionalista española. Esto tuvo efectos en el ejercicio de derechos constitucionales por algunos sectores de la ciudadanía, así como en la materialización de la autonomía regional prevista por la Constitución de 1931. El cuerpo judicial obstaculizó ambos aspectos, llegando a conformar un estatus criminológico, el de «separatista», que sufriría una persecución sin precedentes bajo la dictadura de Franco.

Kashmir Under the Influence of the Nadir Shah’s Indian Campaign (1738-39) (According to the Persian Manuscript of the 18th c.)
Authors: Smirnova Anastasiia  M.
Published: July 2024

The article explores the impact of the Nadir Shah’s Indian campaign on the region of Kashmir in the 18th c., according to the Persian-language manuscript written by Muhammad ‘Azam Didamari. The manuscript provides unique insights into how Nadir Shah’s actions affected Kashmir, including the appointment of a new subahdar and a rebellion of the local population. Contrary to a popular belief, the author suggests that after the campaign the Mughal Empire retained control over Kashmir, highlighting the complex relations between Iran and the Mughal Empire. The study calls for a reevaluation of historical accounts of Nadir Shah’s campaign and emphasizes the need for further research of the role of Kashmir in this significant event. The information presented in the work of Muhammad ‘Azam encourages researchers to reconsider the history of Nadir Shah’s Indian campaign in order to more accurately determine the boundaries between the Mughal Empire and Iran after this event. The mention of Kashmir in the context of these events adds particular value to the study, since other sources on Nadir Shah and his military campaigns either do not mention Kashmir at all or only briefly touch on the region. In this context, the presence of this plot in the work of Muhammad ‘Azam is unique and calls for further research and analysis.

Yavru Anlatım Tekniği Açısından Murat Gülsoy’un “Kendi Üzerine Kapanan Köle Hakkında” Hikâyesi
Authors: Solak Caner
Published: July 2024

Bu çalışmada, Murat Gülsoy’un postmodern bir üstkurmaca örneği olan “Kendi Üzerine Kapanan Köle Hakkında” adlı hikâyesinin yavru anlatım tekniğine göre incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bir olgunun, içinde kendisinin küçük bir kopyasını barındırması anlamına gelen “mise en abyme” sanatının edebî eserlerde bir anlatım tekniği olarak kullanımına yavru anlatım tekniği denilmiştir. Bu teknik, hikâye sanatında anlatı içinde bir başka anlatıya yer vermek şeklinde kullanılabileceği gibi çeşitli dil kullanımları vasıtasıyla sonsuza uzanan döngülerin ve anlamların meydana getirilmesiyle de uygulanabilir. Görsel sanatlarda iç içe geçen görüntülerin yarattığı döngüyü; bu hikâyede, eseri başlangıç noktasına döndüren ifadeler meydana getirmiştir. Hikâyede bu tekniğin kullanılması vasıtasıyla köle-efendi rolleri arasındaki geçişkenliklerin vurgulandığı tespit edilmiştir.
Tercih edilen bu anlatma yönteminin ayrıca döngüsellik, döngüselliğin meydana getirdiği sonsuza uzanma ve metnin kendisinin farkında olması şeklinde sonuçları görülmüştür. Mekânın, zamanın ve şahıs adlarının belirtilmediği, sembolik anlatımın ön plana çıktığı bu eserde, köle ve efendi rollerinde olan iki kahramanın sonsuz bir döngü içerisinde birbirlerinin yerine geçmesi hikâyeleştirilmiştir.

Total Quality Management (TQM) is an integrative philosophy aimed at continuously improving the quality of products, services, and processes within an organization. TQM emphasizes customer satisfaction, process optimization, and a commitment to excellence at all levels of the organization. Administrative Information Systems (AIS) play a crucial role in supporting TQM initiatives by providing accurate, timely, and relevant information necessary for decision-making and performance assessment. This abstract explores the relationship between TQM and AIS, highlighting how AIS can enhance TQM implementation. The integration of AIS within TQM frameworks facilitates the efficient collection, processing, and dissemination of data, enabling organizations to monitor quality metrics effectively, identify areas for improvement, and implement corrective actions promptly. The synergy between TQM and AIS leads to improved organizational performance, enhanced customer satisfaction, and a culture of continuous improvement. By leveraging AIS, organizations can achieve better alignment of their strategic goals with quality objectives, foster a data-driven decision-making environment, and sustain long-term competitive advantage. This study underscores the importance of AIS in TQM practices, emphasizing that the successful implementation of TQM relies significantly on the robust support of comprehensive administrative information systems.

Published: July 2024

The concept of alienation and exile was very important among the postcolonial enthusiast literary researches. Due to the sporadic nature of the topic, it was estimated that a new area of research exists to be investigated. Due to this interest, this study attempted to discuss the concepts of exile, alienation from homeland and the colonialism in Mourid Barghouti's I Saw Ramallah with postcolonial theory.The research attempted to discuss the problem of resistance and personal choices in dealing with the wave of modernization in the colonized countries or regions. It should be mentioned that while this study focused on the ideological clashes caused by colonialism, it was interested to see how a new concept of comparative literature as a discourse tolerance can reveal the meaning of literary works. To do so, this study investigated comparative literature as a form of literary studies against nationalism. In this case, the Mourid Barghouti's I Saw Ramallah investigated new ways of reading about the literature of Palestine. On the Other hand, I Saw Ramallah showed that the ideology of nationalism was one of the main reasons which cripples the Palestinian literature to offer a more realistic investigation of colonial situation in Palestine which Mourid Barghouti attempted to criticize in the novel.

Published: July 2024

One minor but rapidly growing subset of the tourism business, educational tourism, is helping local economies thrive. Educational tourism boosts local economies by bringing in more tourists who spend money on lodging, dining out, and transportation. These visitors come from around the globe, including students, teachers, and researchers. In addition to increasing direct spending, this flood of tourists generates income, opens doors to new cultures, and helps fund the improvement of local infrastructure. The increasing worldwide exposure and collaboration of educational institutions are not just expanding academic programs and research prospects, but also enriching the local culture. Educational tourists, known for their longer stays and deeper immersion in the local culture, are like cultural ambassadors, bringing a unique flavor to the local companies and contributing more financially. Their presence is not just a boost to the economy, but also a celebration of diversity and cultural exchange. Recognizing the potential for economic growth, governments and commercial entities are strategically enhancing their educational offerings to attract more educational tourists. This, in turn, drives investment in the local education sector, creating a cycle of continuous improvement and long-term financial gains. The lasting benefits of this approach are not just economic, but also social and cultural, making it a wise investment for the future. Ultimately, educational tourism is a game-changer for local economies, boosting growth through increased spending, new jobs, cultural interaction, and infrastructure upgrades. Economic sustainability and improved global connectivity can be achieved by communities that make use of this sector.

Published: July 2024

Este artigo visa analisar e refletir sobre os movimentos pertinentes à empresa Vale S.A. para identificar aqueles que são tendenciais dentro do sistema econômico capitalista. Com a finalidade de dar conta dessa tarefa, buscamos compreender a história da empresa junto de seu papel na economia brasileira inserida na dinâmica do sistema, desenvolvendo conceitos centrais sobre o tema e refletindo a respeito o papel das organizações privadas inseridas no capitalismo. Somente assim, foi possível realizar uma comparação entre a esfera do desenvolvimento do modo de produção capitalista com o estudo de caso da mineradora. Com relação ao método, trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo mista, envolvendo as pesquisas quantitativa e a qualitativa. Outro aspecto considerado se refere à sustentabilidade do meio ambiente que foi comprometida com as tragédias recentes provocadas pela empresa em Minas Gerais. Foi possível constatar que uma parte substancial dos acontecimentos envolvendo a Vale, desde a sua fundação, são reflexos diretos da dinâmica do sistema capitalista e de suas particularidades, envolvendo os principais desdobramentos no decorrer da sua história.

A contemporaneidade vive cercada de novos fenômenos e comportamentos visualizados nos mais diversos segmentos. Considerando esse aspecto e voltando o olhar para a comunidade LGBTQIA+, existe um movimento de exclusão dos gays que não se assemelham aos comportamentos esperados de seu gênero denominado como afeminofobia. Esse trabalho objetiva reforçar o debate acadêmico já existente sobre a afeminofobia, com a finalidade de explorar suas raízes e formas. Dialogaremos sobre a masculinidade hegemônica e seu papel na construção de uma imagem de controle assimilada pela comunidade gay como a figura do gay “ideal”. Elaboraremos reflexões sobre a comunidade LGBTQIAP+, mesclando nossas experiências a partir do método autobiográfico. A título de considerações finais, retornaremos à discussão da imagem de controle e o papel da tolerância na superação da afeminofobia. O presente estudo foi confeccionado a partir do método qualitativo, bem como com o uso do método autobiográfico, a fim de inserir nossas observações e narrativas no estudo, em uma perspectiva de autoformação.
(Ir)racionalidade penal
Authors: Nunes Tiago Lopes
Published: July 2024

O propósito do presente trabalho consiste em apresentar, criticamente, a motivação subjacente ao desejo de punir. Para tanto, foi utilizado o método dedutivo, elegendo-se uma hipótese viável, comprovada mediante a pesquisa bibliográfica. Inicialmente, o texto traz breve digressão sobre a origem da filosofia da razão e suas implicações nas instituições pós-iluministas. Posteriormente, é demonstrado que, não obstante a crença na racionalidade, o processo de tomada de decisões dos seres humanos é composto, em grande medida, por componentes emocionais inconscientes. Assim, embora inexistam indicativos de que as funções declaradas da pena estão sendo minimente observadas, há uma espécie de obsessão social pelo recrudescimento do sistema punitivo. A hipótese aventada na pesquisa aduz que o elemento deflagrador do aumento da repressão estatal reside na ênfase dada ao medo causado pela possível prática de crimes, que é habilmente amplificado por uma criminologia midiática, cujo discurso populista dispara gatilhos emocionais provocadores do amplo engajamento da sociedade.
State Information Security – Threats and Risks in the Third Decade of the 21st Century
Authors: Aleksandrowicz Tomasz
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the categories of threats and risks to state information security. The author starts from the assumption that the dynamic development of modern society has become an important factor of change in the security and defence environment. The aim of the publication is to identify threats to the shielding apparatus of processes related to the flow of news. It is worth mentioning that the intercessory-defensive nature of the institution can be understood directly or indirectly, as destructive actions interfering with the security subject. The concept of risk is associated with the uncertainty resulting from the security subject's actions, with its consequences, especially undesirable and unforeseen. The author therefore puts forward a thesis proclaiming the necessity for authorities (understood as a security subject) to acquire defensive and offensive skills in the infosphere. In doing so, he makes two points: mastering the capabilities mentioned above only reduces the level of risk, but does not eliminate it. Realistically taming these skills requires first and foremost education on many levels, from the basics of ‘cyber security’ behaviour to the professional training of information security specialists eo ipso, and thus capable of applying both IT and engineering knowledge and at the same time social sciences, above all defence sciences.

Authors: Nsele Sanele
Published: July 2024

This study explores teachers’ understanding of teaching critical reading and reading comprehension using isiZulu literary texts in FET phase. The study adopted interpritivist worldview and employed qualitative research methods to generate data. Semi-structured interviews, lesson observations and document anaysis were used to generate data from selected teachers. Purposive sampling was used to select teacher participants who are teachig isiZulu Home Language literary texts in the FET phase. This study used inductive approach to analyse data and it is supported by two theories; Piagets’ cognitive theory and Vygotskys’ social contsructivsm theory. Piaget (1983) emphasises cognitive developmental stages that learners undergo when reading lterary texts and learning language skills. On the other hand, Vygotsky (1978) puts emphasis on the role that social and cultural aspects play in understanding the world during learning. Vygotsky highlights the role of the knowledgable person (teacher, parents or peers) to facilitate learning experience during learning. Findings shows that teachers are using traditiona method of teaching literary texts. Traditional method focuses only on the structure and acquisition of textual information. Traditional method does not develop critical reading and comprehension because literary text is viewed as a complete and factual piece. Traditional method does not afford learners opportunities to create new meanings and interrogate authors perspectives. IQOQA Lolu cwaningo luphenya ngokuqonda kothisha mayelana nokufundiswa kwekhono lokufunda ngokuhlolisisa kanye nokuqondisisa imibhalo yesiZulu emabangeni asesigabeni sokuFunda okuQhubekayo nokuQeqesha. Ngokusebenzisa indlelakubuka yomhumusho kanye nezindlela zobunjalo botho, lolu cwaningo lukhiqize ulwazi ngezindlela zezinhlololwazi ezisakuhleleka, ukubukela othisha befundisa kanye nokuhlaziywa kwamadokhyumenti. Kulolu cwaningo kwalandelwa indlela yokuqoka ngenhloso othisha abafundisa imibhalo yesiZulu ulimi lwaseKhaya. Kwasetshenziswa isu lokuholela kokuthile; nohlaka lwemicabango kaPiaget (1983) kanye nekaVygotsky (1978) njengezinsizakuhlaziya okutholakele ocwaningweni. Injulalwazi kaPiaget (1983) ibalula ubumqoka bokuthuthukiswa kwengqondo yomfundi ukukwazi ukucabanga okufundwayo. Kanti-ke, injulalwazi kaVygotsky imayelana neqhaza lenhlalo kanye namasiko ekufundeni imibhalo. Indlela yokuhlaziya okutholakele ngezindikimba (thematic analysis) iye yaholela ekutheni kuhlaluke ukuthi othisha basasebenzisa indlela yendabuko yokufundisa ukuhluza isakhiwo kanye nohlaka kombhalo, nokwenza bangagxili ekuthuthukiseni amakhono elokuhlolisisa kanye nokuqondisisa imibhalo yesiZulu. Le ndlela yokuhluza imibhalo igxilisa ukuthola ulwazi lombhalo kanye nezimpawu ezisobala.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are essential to the global economy, promoting employment, innovation and sustainable development. Effective sales information management is critical to your success, involving the collection, storage, analysis and application of data about customers, products, distribution channels, prices and market trends. Proper management of this data allows SMEs to understand customer demands, identify market opportunities and optimize their sales strategies.However, SMEs face significant challenges in this area, such as technological limitations, budget constraints and data complexity, which can lead to manual processes, lack of visibility in the supply chain and loss of competitiveness. The research carried out in the La Maná canton, in Cotopaxi, Ecuador, supports the implementation of a sales information management system due to its intense commercial activity and the presence of SMEs in sectors such as agriculture and commerce.The study adopted a mixed methodology, which combined literature review and field research, using inductive and deductive approaches. Managers, administrators and workers from two companies were surveyed. The results indicate that this methodology is effective in achieving the research objectives, underscoring the importance of integrating various methodologies to obtain a complete understanding of the topic

Published: July 2024

This study examined how artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the personalization of the virtual educational process in higher education programs. A systematic review of literature published between 2012 and 2023 was carried out, evaluating empirical studies, reports and review articles available in academic databases such as IEEE Xplore, SpringerLink and Google Scholar. Methods discussed include intelligent tutoring systems, learning analytics, and recommendation systems. The results showed that AI significantly improved the personalization of learning. Intelligent tutoring systems provide real-time adaptive feedback, adjusting content and pacing based on students' individual needs, improving their understanding and retention. Learning analytics helps identify student behavior patterns and predict academic issues, thereby facilitating timely interventions that help improve performance. Additionally, recommender systems personalize study materials based on student preferences and progress, thereby optimizing the educational experience. However, significant challenges have been identified, such as the need to protect data privacy and mitigate algorithmic biases that can affect the fairness and efficiency of these systems. In conclusion, the integration of AI into virtual higher education has enhanced the personalization of learning, improving both student satisfaction and academic performance. However, there is a need to continue to focus on developing ethical and equitable AI systems to address identified issues and maximize educational benefits
