Authors: Pylypchynets I.V. , Pop Oksana , V.I. Roman
Published: December 2023

Purpose. The value of the autoionization cross section and its energy dependence are determined to a great extent by excitation and subsequent electron decay of the lowest energy states. Recently, experimental data on the excitation cross sections of the rubidium atom lowest doublet (4p55s2)2P3/2,1/2 and quartet (4p54d5s)4P1/2,3/2,5/2 autoionizing states were obtained which promoted their theoretical investigations.

Methods. Theoretical calculations were performed using the Flexible Atomic Code universal program package which takes account of the relativistic nature of the complex atoms excitation by the use of the Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian. The radial orbitals for basic relativistic wavefunctions were obtained by solving the Dirac-Fock-Slater equation.

Results. Comparison of the experimental excitation cross sections for the doublet (4p55s2)2P3/2,1/2 and quartet (4p54d5s)4P1/2,3/2,5/2 autoionizing states with available theoretical data and our relativistic calculations is presented. The results of the study of the parameter R0 for the intensity ratio for the 2P3/2 and 2P1/2 states of the 4p55s2 configuration are presented. Our calculations in the distorted waves approximation is shown to well describe the experimental data in the energy region above 70 eV. At low collision energies our calculations qualitatively predict the presence of the threshold resonant excitation; however in the energy region 20-50 eV only the R-matrix method qualitatively describes the complex nature of excitation and decay of the lowest quartet autoionizing states of the rubidium atom.

Conclusions. Electron excitation of the doublet (4p55s2)2P3/2,1/2 and quartet (4p54d5s)4P1/2,3/2,5/2 autoionizing states of the rubidium atom in the collision energy range from the excitation thresholds up to 700 eV was studied in the terms of the distorted waves relativistic approximation. A comprehensive analysis of the obtained results using the available experimental and theoretical data showed that the relativistic distorted waves approximation taking into account the configurational mixing is a suitable tool for describing the autoionizing states of the rubidium atom in a wide range of collision energies and allowed one to obtain the absolute values of the experimental excitation cross sections of the (4p55s2)2P3/2,1/2 and (4p54d5s)4P1/2,3/2,5/2 states.

Published: December 2023

In the article, based on the disclosure of the phenomenology of breathing, the improvement of the theory and practices of the development of the health-preserving competence of the physical education teacher in the conditions of postgraduate education is carried out. For this, pedagogical tasks, the theory of functional systems, ideas about the synchronous work of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems (cardio-respiratory synchrony), patho-pedagogy, humanistic and child-centered intentions of the "New Ukrainian School" and anthropological approaches are used integratively. The basis of the theoretical understanding of the breathing phenomenon is based on modern physiological knowledge, which to some extent does not correlate with the currently available understanding of the respiratory function as such, which seems to require conscious control and management. Among the theoretical provisions aimed at practical application, we can single out the following: the respiratory function is automatically (implemented reflexively) synchronized with the work of the cardiovascular system (cardio-respiratory synchrony) and, accordingly, these two systems of the first type whose regulation is internal (according to the theory of functional systems and physiological observations) function holistically and synergistically, therefore purposeful and conscious "external" synchronization with motor actions is presented as competitive and, accordingly, as such that can disrupt the specified harmonious interaction; the majority of motor actions and training regimes should be carried out without purposeful control over breathing, which is considered as a priority strategy for preserving the health of the respiratory organs and minimizing the risks of developing acute heart disease; the defining and system-organizing strategy of the teacher is to focus on maintaining the rhythm and automatism of breathing during physical activity; the breathing function, which is synchronized with blood circulation, automatically synchronizes and adapts to certain motor actions and modes and, accordingly, to the intensity and duration of physical exertion; at the same time, there are certain motor modes (swimming, shooting, etc.) and motor actions that require mandatory control over the function of breathing and its management, which includes synchronization with movements. The development of the health-preserving competence of the physical education teacher is carried out taking into account the phenomenology of breathing, which includes the application of pedagogical tasks, problematic issues and their analysis; analysis of pedagogical situations; ethical and dialogical practices; actualization of the teacher's health-preserving thinking.

Published: December 2023

Energy and environmental impacts are at the top of the list of major international challenges to be addressed at intervals in the ensuing few years. With transportation being one of the foremost waste management sectors, focus has been directed towards electric vehicles because of their considerably lower dependency on fossil fuels. Nonetheless, electrical quality is presently characterized by a restricted practice range, leading makers to work on new strategies that might increase variety and charging potency. Current analysis is especially centered on increasing battery performance and reducing charging time. This study concentrates on presenting a completely unique approach: supported commutation battery stations, wherever the vehicle’s batteries are replaced with a completely charged one (available at the station), whereas new standard batteries may be created on the spot. The prevailing service station networks may be used for the replacement of electrical automobile batteries. This could be addressing the issue of long battery charging times. Through the assimilation of Trade 4.0 Key Sanctioning Technologies, individual challenges are often addressed. This can be illustrated through a holistic framework whereby the necessities for the context-aware style of the automobile itself are given and a selected answer supporting the mechanical mounting of batteries is mentioned.

Published: December 2023

SMS spam detection using Naive Bayes algorithm is a widely used technique in the field of text classification. The main aim of this approach is to classify the incoming messages into spam or ham categories. The Naive Bayes algorithm works by calculating the probability of a message belonging to a particular class, based on the occurrence of different words in the message. In this paper, we present an efficient and accurate approach for SMS spam detection using the Naive Bayes algorithm. The proposed approach utilizes a pre- processing step for feature extraction, which includes tokenization, stop-word removal, and stemming. The Naive Bayes algorithm is then trained on a dataset of labeled messages to learn the probability distributions of different words in spam and ham messages. Finally, the trained model is used to classify incoming messages into spam or ham categories. The results of our experiments show that the proposed approach achieves high accuracy in detecting SMS spam messages.

Social media is a platform that connects people especially between the business organisation and customer. It became a marketing strategy to manage market shrinkage in diverse industries. This study aims to investigate the influence of brand awareness on purchase intention through the mediating role of influencers’ attributes (credibility and endorsement) among consumers in Selangor, Malaysia. This study was hinged on the Source Credibility Theory. Using a survey research method, a structured questionnaire was administered among 389 social media (such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok) followers in Selangor with experience in purchasing products/services after watching or browsing social medias endorsed by an influencer. The findings revealed that majority of consumers’ purchase intention are moderately affected by the social media influencers. Further, the results show that brand awareness, influencers’ credibility, and influencers’ endorsement have a stronger influence on purchase intention. Besides, both influencers’ credibility and influencers’ endorsement have a mediation role on the relationship between brand awareness and purchase intention. This result indicates that a “credible” social media influencer that endorsed the specific product/service with social media post stated an '#sponsored' '#ad' have a positive effect towards the brand and purchase intention. It was recommended that companies should ascertain the credibility of social media influencers whose services would be employed in order to enhance positive perception about product promotion among the consumers.

Published: December 2023

Cavite is a historical province in the Philippines the province is also known for historical Churches. This study assessed the disaster preparedness of the historical churches. The method is qualitative in nature and utilized interviews as the instrument of the study. The respondents are representatives of each historical church. The results show that NHCP is aware of the ancient churches' vulnerability to disasters based on their findings. Disaster response is a problem since historical churches aren't given priority and because of the geographical characteristics that rendered them vulnerable. Due to their significance to religion, culture, history, and identity, historic churches have social significance. Due to its age, worth to the community, and importance, historic museums must be prepared for disasters. While local governments have developed measures to reduce flooding, floods can be avoided provided that government policies and regular water level monitoring are put into practice. Earthquakes can cause the historical churches to shake. For disaster readiness in the event of ground shaking, the NHCP and the local government coordinate. Finally, since ground shaking cannot be entirely avoided, precautions like routine structural inspections are made.

Published: December 2023

This study examines the key factors that determine the key success factors for Malaysian family businesses from various perspectives, including the nature of family, business, and successor. As family businesses are the primary context of the study, the 125 respondents are consisting of business owners, successors, or potential successors of family-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). All respondents are in any state of West and East Malaysia that have been incorporated for more than 10 years. Multiple regressions, ANOVA, and descriptive statistics are used to analyse the data in this study. The results indicate that the management succession of Malaysian family firms is significantly impacted by successor-related factors and the efficiency of the succession process. Family and business-related elements were found to have a negligible impact on the management succession of the family business since these characteristics are directly influenced by a successor's motivation to take over or engage in the family firm. The findings assist the family business owner in succession planning, communication, governance, and decision-making including financial transparency.

Published: December 2023

The issue of patriotism, nationalism, racism, and sensitivity between races is increasing. Many of it has caused debate in society. It encompasses all aspects of society from students, civil servants, professionals, and politicians. The case is frequently linked to claims of equality between two groups of different interests. The education system that is expected to play a role in shaping the community's thinking and behaviour is also disputed by some groups. The aim of the study is to investigate the perception of equality among graduates from the two dimensions of educational equality and social equality, so as to discover existing problems and propose effective countermeasures. The data is collected through a questionnaire adapted from Wang et al. (2020) and distributed to graduates at an established state private university. A total of 982 individuals participated in the study. Most of them are at diploma (49.7%) and degree (31.5%) program. The findings show that there is a low correlation between student acceptance on the education system and all components of education equality and social procedure equality, and a very low correlation to social opportunity equality and social outcome equality. This will open up a wide space for debate on the effectiveness of the education system in shaping people's thoughts and behaviours. Educational institutions have to ensure their programs are capable of enhancing students' understanding and awareness of equality issues in society. As for educators, they must realize that they are the most influential factor to contribute to shaping the thinking and behaviour of students for the society.

Published: December 2023

This study aims to investigate the role of financial accounting technology in improving customer relationship management (CRM) in Jordanian banks. The study used a questionnaire survey based on previous relevant literature to obtain the necessary data. Using a quantitative analysis method, a random sample of 113 employees working in Jordanian banks was selected. The bootstrapping method was used to investigate the connection between financial accounting technology and CRM. To comprehend the significance levels, the path coefficients, T-values, and p-values are the most typical outcomes in the structural model. The direct effects showed that financial accounting technology, including innovation, flexibility and transparency, had a significant positive effect on CRM. In line with the results, relying on financial accounting technology in banking transactions enables the creation of global electronic markets that contribute to economic growth, and banks' use of financial accounting technology can provide high-quality services for customers. The outcome of this study lays the groundwork for future research to advance the knowledge in this field.
Systematic review of strategies for rural tourism regeneration in the post-epidemic era-the case of mainland China
Authors: Sun Yichen , Li Mingxuan , Liu Yu
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to summarise the methods of rural tourism revitalization in the post-epidemic period in the existing literature and screen out the strategies suitable for China. The method of subject analysis and the stakeholder theory are adopted as the main approaches to achieve the goal by analysing the methods to help rural tourism development from four dimensions: local government, local community, travel agency, and residents. According to China's conditions and experience from other countries, the paper finally puts forward four strategies for China's rural tourism regernation. Specifically, for the government, the accessible strategies are to provide low-interest loans to tourism practitioners, for communities, it is proper to help scenic spots install disinfection facilities. Considering the travel agencies, to develop Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) programs could help, and residents in rural tourism destinations can participate in the environmental protection to help the revitalisation. The practical significance of this study is mainly to provide theoretical basis for the development direction of rural destinations in China in the post-epidemic period. At the same time, other countries with similar situation to China's rural tourism can also make selective reference. Despite the problems of a single database and neglect of regional differences within China, the research results still have particular value.
Do foreign investors trading behaviors affect mutual fund performances or vice versa?
Authors: Auzairy Noor Azryani , Ibrahimy Ahmad Ibn
Published: December 2023

This paper is to examine the trading behavior, buy and sell, by foreign investors: institutional and retail investors, on the performance of the mutual funds (information contribution effect). The impact of mutual funds performances on the trading behavior (feedback effect) of foreign investors are also to be investigated. Since there have been increasing demand for much more secured and cheaper investment, such as mutual funds, the study on these funds is crucial. Granger causality, Spearman’s rho and Vector Autoregressive model analyses are applied on daily data of foreign institutional and retail buy, sell and net flows volume and Malaysia’s average mutual fund returns from 1st October 2009 to 31st December 2019. The findings reveal that only foreign retail investors have cause-effect relationships with the performance of the mutual funds. Thus, mutual funds companies, especially in the emerging countries, should be given more attention to foreign retail investors in attracting them to remain invest in our mutual funds for long-term. Having better anticipated returns would also discourage those foreign retail investors from selling the funds, indeed, would motivate them to contribute more into the funds. The findings would be able to guide the Mutual Fund companies in managing and promoting foreign investors and enhancing the mutual funds performances.
An empirical analysis of public debt and government expenditure in South Africa
Authors: Thusini Sphesihle , Mah Gisele
Published: December 2023

The high rate of growth of public debt in African countries has stimulated debate among professionals, public representatives, and the general public on how government expenditure affects public debt levels. The primary focus of this paper is to study the relationship between public debt and government spending in South Africa. The methodology of this study employs the Johansen test of co-integration, the VECM, and the Granger causality test. The data period is from 1980 to 2020, and time series data was taken from the South African Reserve Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The findings of this study reveal a negative, statistically significant, and unidirectional causality coming from capital expenditure to public debt. Recurrent expenditure is positive and statistically significant, with unidirectional causality from public debt to recurrent expenditure. Inflation is positive and statistically significant; the causality result shows unidirectional causality, that is, from inflation to public debt. The study yielded positive outcomes and demonstrated statistical significance in relation to the relationship between the exchange rate and public debt. The practical implication is that the South African government should spend more borrowed money on capital expenditures. Secondly, public debt could be reduced by continuing with inflation targeting. Lastly, the government should be encouraged to borrow in local currency.
The Grading Process in System 1 and System 2 of Thinking: A Behavioral Economic Approach to Evaluation
Authors: Călinescu Amalia
Published: December 2023

The concepts of heuristics and biases underlie the decision-making process both at intuitive and rational levels, which Daniel Kahneman refers to as System 1 and System 2 of thinking. This research seeks to explore the interplay between these cognitive mechanisms and students’ grading decisions, examining the extent to which heuristics and biases can influence evaluation in the everyday process of learning and teaching. A survey was conducted, containing four grading situations that combine the experiences of reading, evaluation, and decision-making in four stages of System 1 and System 2 of thinking. The hypotheses and sub-hypotheses were tested using a quantitative approach, through a 15-item self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) in English, which collected data about the heuristics influencing Romanian students’ grading decision in four evaluative situations based on a synopsis of The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. The self-constructed questionnaire was filled in by 108 Romanian students studying for a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in public and private universities. The data set was analyzed, using descriptive, inferential, and path-analysis methods (frequencies, percentages, measures of central tendency, t-tests, ANOVA, simple and multiple linear regression, mediation, and moderation) and one statistical program (R Studio 4.3.4.). Grade 1 (the most intuitive) can predict Grade 4 for the synopsis of The Book Thief. However, the correlation between Grades 2 + 3 and Grade 4 is much stronger than the correlation between Grade 1 and Grade 4. Furthermore, the impact of Grade 1 on Grade 4 is mediated by Grade 3 while Grade 1 has no effect on the impact of Grade 3 on Grade 4. The rational model of heuristics involved in the grading process is much stronger than the intuitive model. The study sheds light on the intricate interplay between intuition and rationality in the grading process, offering novel insights into the cognitive mechanisms that underlie decision-making.

Cuervo al CORDIAM: los corpus lingüísticos en el contexto de la historia del español de américa
Authors: Medina López Javier
Published: December 2023

Este artículo plantea una revisión historiográfica de cómo surgió el estudio histórico del español en América. La dialectología hispanoamericana se inicia con el artículo de Cuervo (1901). A partir del mismo, lentamente se fueron incorporando datos diacrónicos que trazaban la fisonomía diacrónica de la llega del español a las Indias. Sin embargo, no será hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XX cuando comience a darse un verdadero interés por la historia del español en América. La contribución de algunos lingüistas fue clave, si bien el proyecto del «Estudio Histórico del Español de América» no comenzará su andadura hasta los años ochenta. A partir de ahí, toda una generación de investigadores sacará a la luz documentación archivística muy relevante. Este trabajo muestra la contextualización de las primeras aportaciones documentales hasta llegar a la aparición del Corpus Diacrónico y Diatópico del español de América (Cordiam), plataforma fundamental en la historia de la lengua española en América.
