Effect of Hygiene on Milk Quality and Milking Factors of Small Andean Herds during the Rainy Season
Authors: Facundo Gloria Betti Adrianzen , Maquen Julio Alberto Ruiz , Calderón Nelly Umpiri , Espinoza-Montes Francisco
Published: February 2025

Dairy production in the Peruvian Andes is mainly based on small herds. However, there is little information on how hygiene affects milk quality during the rainy season. The study's objective was to evaluate the hygienic factors of milk and milking practices during the rainy season in small herds located at two high Andean altitudinal levels. The characteristics of the factors related to the milking process were recorded using an observation guide, and 108 raw milk samples were collected from 18 herds with Brown Swiss cows at two altitude levels. Samples were obtained from the milk collection containers and milk. The results showed that 56.5% of the samples analyzed were unhygienic, with no significant differences in bacterial counts between altitudinal levels. However, a strong correlation was identified between precipitation and the presence of coliforms (0.726) and mesophilic aerobes (0.861). Factors such as milking location, hand washing, and use of cleaning agents were associated with microbial contamination, acquiring odds ratios (OR) of 4.04, 5.26, and 4.71, respectively, during the months of heavy rain. The study concludes that the hygienic quality of milk in small high Andean herds significantly deteriorates during the rainy season, with counts of total coliform bacteria and mesophilic aerobes exceeding recommended levels, particularly during peak rainfalls. This finding highlights a direct relationship between the intensity of rainfall and the quality of milk, underscoring the need for improved milking practices in the rainy season to ensure the safety of the products.

Published: February 2025

Hepatitis Hydropericardium syndrome (HHS) is an acute infectious disease affecting broiler chickens. It is caused by a fowl adenovirus (FAdV) of Group I, serotype 4. This disease is characterized by sudden deaths in broilers as young as three weeks, with mortality rates reaching up to 65%. The current study aimed to evaluate the outbreak of HHS in three broiler farms in southern Iraq. It also sought to identify the specific serotypes of fowl adenovirus (FAdV) responsible for this outbreak, primarily focusing on its genetic characteristics and diversity. Ten liver and heart tissue samples were collected from broiler chickens (Ross 308) that had displayed clinical signs of depression, ruffled feathers, and a tendency to huddle in corners before death. Viral DNA was extracted from liver tissues for further virus detection using PCR and RT-PCR. A post-mortem examination showed a turmeric-yellow discoloration in the dividing lines between the pectoral muscles and the abdominal cavity. The livers of infected chickens were markedly enlarged, and clear, yellow-colored fluid was observed in the pericardial sac. Histopathological analysis of stained liver and heart tissues revealed small multifocal areas of necrosis and mononuclear cell infiltration, including basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies in hepatocytes and lymphocytic infiltrates. Conventional PCR analysis of liver tissues confirmed the presence of FAdV serotype 4, identifying all samples as the Melad strain, a novel strain responsible for the ongoing epidemic in Iraq. This study confirmed the presence of FAdV serotype 4 and identified all samples as the Melad strain. This research also addresses the need to investigate FAdV with molecular techniques for a better understanding of the epidemiology of the disease.

Cyanide poisoning poses a significant global health risk, affecting both humans and animals due to its rapid and often fatal effects. Cyanide compounds, such as hydrogen cyanide, potassium cyanide, and cyanogenic glycosides found in certain plants, interfere with cellular respiration by blocking cytochrome oxidase, causing cytotoxic hypoxia and organ failure. Human exposure to cyanide is primarily linked to industrial activities such as mining and electroplating, as well as smoke inhalation during fires. Symptoms of poisoning include respiratory distress, dizziness, and, in severe cases, cardiac arrest and death if left untreated. In animals, particularly livestock, poisoning often results from consuming cyanogenic plants such as sorghum and specific grasses. Different species have varying susceptibility to cyanide, with cattle showing signs such as respiratory distress, seizures, and death after ingesting these plants. Detection methods for cyanide, including spectrophotometry, gas chromatography, and ion-selective electrodes, which analyze cyanide levels in blood, urine, or tissues. Treatment generally involves the administration of antidotes, such as hydroxocobalamin, sodium thiosulfate, and sodium nitrite, which neutralize cyanide in the body. The current study aimed to highlight the importance of stringent regulatory measures on cyanide usage in industrial and agricultural contexts to prevent accidental poisoning. Environmental monitoring and processing of safe food are vital to reduce the incidence of cyanide poisoning in both humans and animals.
Shareholder Litigation Rights and Financial Fraud Risk: New Evidence from Exclusive Forum Provisions
Authors:   SLTC Research University, Weerathunga W.D.
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the effect of shareholder litigation rights on the firm’s exposure to
financial fraud risk. We define fraud risk as the likelihood that a firm may experience financial
statement manipulations at the organizational level. We look at fraud risk as it helps us go beyond
the level of fraud detected at the firm level, which has been the focus of a large stream of prior
research. Following the Business Judgement Rule, we argue firms that fall short of shareholder
expectations experience a higher risk of shareholder litigation. Thus, managers will generally
attempt to demonstrate superior performance to the shareholders in the presence of excessive
litigation pressure, increasing the risk of financial statement fraud for these firms. Consistent with
our presumption, we observe a reduction in multi-forum litigation followed by EFP adoption to
curtail the financial fraud risks among these firms. Our results remain consistent when fraud risk
is measured using Benford’s Score and the discretionary accruals, consistent with the earnings
management literature. Although shareholder litigation is expected to lower the risk of financial
risk of fraud , our findings suggest that increasing litigation threats may worsen financial fraud
risks among firms. Overall, the findings of this paper contribute to the existing literature by
showing that it is not the quantity but the quality of litigation that matters in enhancing
organizational outcomes.

Published: February 2025

This study explores into the key drivers, challenges, and internal determinants
influencing the adoption of green financing within Sri Lankan banking institutions. The study
expounds the motivations and strategic frameworks supporting the incorporation of sustainability
into banking practices through conducting in-depth interviews with the representatives from
Domestic Systematically Important Banks (D-SIBs) in Sri Lanka. The findings pinpoint several key
drivers such as regulatory frameworks, varying consumer preferences, shareholder involvement,
and the quest for innovation. Regulatory transformations, colliding with targeted incentives and
policies, have substantially driven banks toward sustainable practices. Simultaneously, changes
in consumer behaviour and high environmental awareness have infused the development and
introduction of innovative green financing products. Additionally, investor demands for increased
transparency and the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria have
significantly influenced banks' strategic directions. This should be acknowledged as pioneers in
sustainable finance and the necessity for competitive differentiation has been a key internal driver.
Further, the results are aligned with the Resource Based View Theory and the Resource Theory of
Sustainable Finance, underlining the vital role that firm-specific resources, competencies, and
institutional framework contribute towards accomplishing sustainable finance goals. The study
highlights that to promote the adoption of green financing initiatives, favourable regulations,
increased consumer awareness, internal collaboration, capacity development, coordination of
strategies, involvement of stakeholders, product innovation, risk management, and partnerships
are essential. Hence, this study offers an in-depth comprehension of the intricate factors guiding
the incorporation of green finance into Sri Lankan banks, with significant implications for
decision-makers, financial institutions, and other parties involved in fostering green finance.

This study aimed to summarize and identify factors affecting online behavioural
advertising identified until 2024, and to create an integrated conceptual framework that explains
relationships between these factors affecting OBA. Even though a significant number of recent
studies have been published on online behavioural advertising during recent years, systematic
reviews about online behavioural advertising is limited, which is the focus of this study. The study
utilized the systematic review method to organize publications gathered from Scopus database,
Emerald Insight and Google Scholar. Thematic analysis was used to identify and according to
themes. Review of 46 publications revealed that, advertiser-controlled factors are the initial
predictors of user-controlled factors, leading to OBA outcomes. By reviewing 46 publications it
was revealed that, advertiser-controlled factors such as: ad-skip option, time display, content
quality and source attractiveness affect user-controlled factors. User controlled factors that are
highly prevalent in the existing literature are: privacy concerns, ad-scepticism, ad-relevance and
user attitude. The impact from advertiser-controlled factors to user-controlled factors are
moderated by social and cultural factors and personality traits. The final outcomes of OBA depend
on each platform, context and group of users. As identified in the literature OBA outcomes are,
OBA acceptance, OBA avoidance, ad-blocker use, purchase intentions and brand engagement.
Influence from user-controlled factors to OBA outcomes is moderated by gender, trust and
psychological ownership. This systematic review is unique because recent knowledge on
personalised advertising is reviewed here through empirical findings, while providing an idea of
the broader picture for advertising practitioners.

For decades, technological advancements and digitization have captivated academics
and professionals. Digitalization has brought a transformed organizational efficacy and business
operations, and the adoption of these technologies has become a necessity for industries to remain
relevant and maintain their competitive edge. In the implementation of digital transformations in
companies, more attention has been paid only to infrastructure and technologies, and in some
cases, organizational culture and its role have been overlooked, and there is little discussion about
them. The information technology sector is a rapidly growing industry in the world which heavily
utilizes novel technologies. Thus, there is a necessity to identify the appropriate organizational
culture for the Informational technology sector. With this understanding, this study has been
conducted to identify the role of organizational culture in the global Information Technology
sector. The comprehensive literature review was conducted to assess the type of organizational
culture and key characteristics of the organizational culture of the information technology industry.
The methodology for the study consisted of conducting a systematic literature review on literature
focused on the areas of organizational culture and technological innovation that were sourced
from the Scopus databases including Scopus Science Direct, Pearson, IEEE, Emerald Insight,
Willey e-books, Taylor and Francis, Research Gate, and Google scholar. A total of 26 articles
were selected for the final analysis from the 46 papers that were chosen. According to the findings
from past studies in this field, this study concludes the need for a strong organizational culture
that values innovation, adaptability, and risk-taking. These characteristics are essential for the
navigating challenges of digital transformation. Most researchers have defined cultures with these
characteristics as innovative cultures of digital culture. Managers and decision-makers in the
industry, technology transition-related project implementation teams and scholars may benefit
greatly from the findings of the study, which can help outline programs and policies focused on
removing obstacles to technology adaptation in the IT industry. The goal of this research is to
advance a more inclusive organizational culture for the industry to persist in the constantly
changing digital landscape.

Authors:   University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, Kasturiarachchi S. , Senevirathne V.V.K. ,   University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka
Published: February 2025

Internal stakeholder satisfaction is critical for project success. Adopting agile
methodologies in software projects is perceived as a more adaptable approach than traditional
project management methods, potentially leading to higher internal stakeholder satisfaction.
However, numerous agile projects in the Sri Lankan software industry struggle with poor internal
stakeholder satisfaction. Addressing this gap, the study has investigated the drivers of internal
stakeholder satisfaction in agile projects within the Sri Lankan software industry. Accordingly, the
five most appropriate practices – communication among internal stakeholders, frequent customer
feedback, iterative development, collaboration, and flexibility to adopt customers’ late changes
and a mediating factor – trust were identified, forming the basis for the conceptual framework. To
evaluate it, the researchers analysed data from 137 internal stakeholders using multiple linear
regression. The results showed that trustworthy communication, iterative development, and
collaboration have a positive impact on internal stakeholder satisfaction, while mere
communication among internal stakeholders, frequent customer feedback, and flexibility to adopt
customers' late changes do not significantly impact internal stakeholder satisfaction in this context.
The research provides valuable insights and practical recommendations to enhance internal
stakeholder satisfaction in agile projects.

Authors:   University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, Italy., Greco Marco
Published: February 2025

The idea of supporting the transition toward a circular economy increasingly attracts
managers for many good reasons, such as the institutional pressures from governments
and society, the desire to imitate the industry leaders that increasingly disseminate their
circular economy initiatives, the growing space sustainability and circular economy have
in education and training programs, and the challenges associated with raw materials.
This keynote speech will discuss how the quest to make a firm’s products and processes
‘more circular’ needs a team effort with other organizations and a fair dose of
digitalization. The audience will be left with some thought-provoking questions about
how inter-organizational collaboration, digitalization, and circular economy innovation
intertwine.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformational force in today's rapidly
changing business environment. The apparel sector in Sri Lanka increasingly embracing AI
technologies for the forthcoming adoption of AI technologies within the industry. Referring to
evidence from companies that have evolved in Sri Lanka's apparel sector, this study examines the
gap between AI’s rhetorical promises and its practical (reality) application. It focuses on
workplace perceptions of AI, bridging the gap between theoretical AI concepts and their
implementation, the dynamics of integrating AI into organizational processes, future directions,
and the reasons behind the adoption of AI technologies by case study organizations. Drawing from
qualitative data, the study delves into the perceptions of AI among industry professionals, the
integration of AI into organizational processes, and the strategic motivations behind adopting AI
technologies. The findings highlight a significant disparity between the high expectations
promoted by AI rhetoric and the reality and effectiveness of AI in practice. While AI is often
heralded as a tool to enhance efficiency and reduce manual Labor, the reality within the case study
organizations reveals a slower, more complex adoption process. This research paper further
describes the rhetoric and reality insights of AI in case study organizations while extending the
rhetoric institutionalism theory, how organizations develop specific rhetorical strategies when
defining the organizational goals and how organizations strategically use symbols like (words and
signs) to empower the ability of practicality in the organizations.

Published: February 2025

ASEAN member states have proactively taken steps to address climate change issues at the national, regional and global levels. However, the rapid growth of the global economy and human activities on climate is increasing and has become a cause of environmental damage. This study aims to examine the effect of economic growth (GDP), foreign investment (FDI), population and energy consumption on CO2 emissions and examine the determinants of dynamic interaction of long- and short-term relationships using fixed effects panel data models and vector error correction models (VECM) for five ASEAN countries namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam using panel data with a time span of 1997 to 2020. The results of the fixed effects panel model test confirmed that economic growth, foreign investment and energy consumption affect CO2 emissions while population has no effect on CO2 emissions. In simultaneous testing, economic growth, foreign investment, population and energy consumption variables jointly affect CO2 in ASEAN countries. In addition, the VECM test results confirm that economic growth, foreign investment and energy consumption affect the CO2 of ASEAN countries in the long run, while population has no effect on CO2 of ASEAN countries in the long run. Other findings confirmed the existence of homogeneous causality relationship of GDP and FDI to CO2 and vice versa CO2 has homogeneous causality relationship to GDP and FDI. Population and Consumption have heterogeneous causality relationship to CO2. These variables are different in different situations and in different countries. The above results are expected that stakeholders can formulate appropriate policies.

Published: February 2025

Студентський туризм має велике значення з точки зору особистісного та професійного розвитку студентської молоді. У зв'язку з цим, актуальним є дослідження сучасного стану та успішних практик інституціоналізації даного виду спеціалізованого туризму. Метою дослідження є вивчення такого елемента інституціоналізації студентського туризму, як міжнародні асоціації та об'єднання; удосконалення підходів до організації та самоорганізації таких структур. Вивчення діяльності асоціацій та об'єднань, що спеціалізуються на студентському туризмі (на прикладі Всесвітньої конфедерації молодіжних, студентських та освітніх подорожей), здійснювалося за допомогою методів спостереження, порівняльно-зіставного аналізу та інтелект-карт. Під час проєктування та просування продуктів студентського туризму часто відбувається практичне ототожнення студентського, молодіжного та освітнього туризму. У діяльності спеціалізованих асоціацій та об'єднань також простежується ця тенденція, причому часто починаючи прямо з визначення місії організації. Оскільки цільові аудиторії цих видів туризму мають значну область перекриття, такий підхід є частково виправданим. Водночас наявні дослідження показують відмінності принаймні в мотивах здійснення подорожі у студентської та не-студентської молоді. Цей факт необхідно враховувати при здійсненні туристської діяльності. Найсприятливіші умови для розвитку студентський туризм може мати в умовах сформованої екосистеми соціокультурного та професійного розвитку молоді. Спеціалізовані асоціації та об'єднання є важливим ініціативним перетворювальним елементом цієї екосистеми. Аналіз діяльності Всесвітньої конфедерації молодіжних, студентських та освітніх подорожей дав змогу виявити чотири критично важливих напрями: інформування; навчання; дослідження і аналітика; маркетингове просування. Високий якісний рівень діяльності забезпечується розгалуженою глобальною мережею професіоналів, що сформувалася протягом тривалого періоду часу. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає в уточненні успішних практик та удосконаленні підходів до організації діяльності асоціацій та об'єднань, що спеціалізуються на студентському туризмі. Практична значущість дослідження полягає у можливості використання його результатів: 1) у практичній діяльності суб'єктів туристичного бізнесу, що спеціалізуються на студентському туризмі; 2) при викладанні відповідних академічних дисциплін. Перспективи подальших досліджень пов'язані з необхідністю подальшого вивчення та аналізу процесу розвитку і інституціоналізації студентського туризму. Тип статті: теоретичний.

Fatigue in aviation operations is a critical issue affecting safety and operational performance. Traditional Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS) rely heavily on subjective reporting and retrospective data, limiting their effectiveness in real-time fatigue detection and mitigation. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers transformative solutions through predictive analytics, real-time monitoring, and machine learning algorithms, enhancing FRMS capabilities. Integrating AI into FRMS introduces unprecedented capabilities in monitoring, predicting, and mitigating fatigue risks. AI-powered tools leverage real-time data from diverse sources, including biometric sensors, flight schedules, environmental factors, and operational logs, to deliver actionable insights. Machine learning algorithms analyze historical patterns and operational data to identify high-risk scenarios, enabling predictive fatigue modeling. Such tools enhance the ability to forecast fatigue hotspots, allowing for proactive mitigation strategies, such as dynamic crew scheduling and workload redistribution.Computer vision and natural language processing (NLP) technologies also provide innovative methods for monitoring behavioral indicators of fatigue, such as speech patterns, facial expressions, and task performance during pre-flight checks or in-flight operations. AI also contributes to resilience by automating the continuous evaluation of fatigue management policies. Adaptive systems can recommend adjustments to policies and practices based on evolving data trends, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while optimizing operational efficiency. Furthermore, AI facilitates personalized fatigue management by tailoring interventions to individual crew members' physiological and operational profiles, improving effectiveness and crew well-being. This paper explores the limitations of current FRMS approaches and discusses AI's role in advancing fatigue risk management using wearable technologies, predictive models, and decision-support systems. It examines ethical considerations, regulatory challenges, and a comparative analysis of FAA, EASA, ICAO, and IATA standards. The findings highlight AI's potential to transition fatigue management from reactive to proactive strategies, fostering a safer and more efficient aviation environment.
