Published: February 2025

This study’s central theme is determining the effect of stockpiling on price hikes. Additionally, the media through which rumors are spread and which medium has a more significant influence on encouraging excessive purchasing, known as stockpiling. Stratified random sampling was utilized to get data from 200 participants. The data were analyzed using the partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach with the assistance of Smart PLS 4.1.0.0. This unique work examines the correlation between stockpiling and price increases. The study revealed that stockpiling leads to price increases, mainly when prompted by rumors spread through social media and word-of-mouth (WoM) communication. Social media has a more significant influence on stockpiling compared to word-of-mouth communication. This study’s findings offer a precise insight into how rumors systematically impact price hikes. The message explicitly advises buyers from participating in panic buying without verifying information.

Authors: Marane Bayar Mohamed Rasheed , Asaad Zeravan Abdulmuhsen
Published: February 2025

This study examines the correlation between “job security” and “turnover intention” while also exploring the potential moderating influence of the “compensation system” and “performance appraisal.” Data collection for this study involved the use of a structured survey questionnaire, which yielded 253 responses from telecommunications companies in Iraq. The findings suggest a significant relationship between job security and turnover intention within organizations. The impact of the “Compensation System” and “Performance Appraisal” were determined to be statistically insignificant. This study makes a valuable contribution to the existing body of literature on the topic of “Job security” by examining the association between “Job security” and “Turnover intention” within the context of a developing country. In the post-COVID-19 era, it is imperative for businesses to adopt a comprehensive approach to employment security, considering both practical considerations and a holistic perspective. The significance of “job security” has heightened in light of the COVID-19 pandemic owing to the economic uncertainty it has brought about. This uncertainty has had a profound impact on various aspects of individuals’ lives, including employment, financial stability, mental and emotional well-being, access to benefits and support, career advancement, social and family stability, and preparedness. In the aftermath of the pandemic, it is imperative for both individuals and organizations to prioritize employment security as a crucial factor in fostering the growth of resilient and sustainable economies. However, the “Compensation System” and performance evaluations remain crucial elements of the employment relationship. The impact of the pandemic has underscored the significance of “Job security.” Individuals have the ability to shape their lives, strategize for the future, and make meaningful contributions to the well-being of organizations and society through their educational experience. In order to enhance “job security” outcomes and address the critical issue of “turnover intention,” it is imperative to implement strategies such as the “Compensation System” and “Performance Appraisal.” Additionally, it is crucial to evaluate all significant organizational decisions from a sustainability perspective. These measures aim to foster a meaningful value proposition and garner increasing recognition of their role in mitigating turnover.
The Impact of Cultural Distance and Political Risk on SMEs’ Internationalization Strategies: The Case of SMEs in the UAE and Lebanon
Authors: Slaiby Walid , Matta Fadia
Published: February 2025

This paper aims to study the effects of cultural distance and political risk on the Middle East international SMEs’ choice of entry mode to the foreign target markets relative to their resource commitment. The SMEs were studied from two countries the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Lebanon. The market entry could be either through non-equity entry modes (exports and contractual agreements) or equity entry modes (shared and full ownership/ control of foreign direct investments). The respondents of this study were owners and managers of UAE and Lebanese international SMEs. We obtained primary data through a survey using a semi-structured questionnaire. We studied the attitudes of SME owners and managers by using a quantitative method, statistically analyzing the responses using a one-sample T-test and the Spearman correlation coefficient. The findings show that when cultural distance is high between UAE/Lebanon and the host country, the SMEs tend to prefer less commitment in terms of financial resources. Therefore, the contingency approach suggests that high cultural distance leads investors to favor entry modes with greater flexibility, enabling easy dissolution in the event of failure. When looking at how political risk affected the choice of entry mode for UAE and Lebanon’s small and medium-sized businesses into international markets, it seemed that these businesses would rather commit fewer resources and limit their financial loss in case they fail. This supports the Transaction Cost Theory, which says that foreign investors are unwilling to commit many resources in a high political risk environment. In addition, the research findings confirm the contingency approach since both UAE and Lebanon SMEs tend to choose non-equity entry modes to have a flexible position to be able to dissolve their commitment when they face unfavorable changes in environmental conditions. Furthermore, the results show that UAE and Lebanon SMEs don’t seem to agree with choosing high-commitment full ownership/control FDI as an entry mode in a high-political-risk context. The originality of this research is its emphasis on UAE and Lebanon SMEs’ internationalization strategies and how these companies with limited resources could build on key success factors for developing their businesses in new markets.

The Vampire Effect: The Role of Humour and Involvement Level in Advertisement Recall and Recognition
Authors: Dobbelstein Thomas , Oberluggauer Teresa , Mason Roger B.
Published: February 2025

The effect of humour on brand and product recall and recognition in advertising, and the consumer’s level of involvement, were studied by examining the “vampire effect,” wherein factors, such as humour, draw attention away from an advertising message. A descriptive, cross-sectional quantitative online survey using convenience and snowball sampling recruited 443 participants, who assessed the humorousness of six advertisements, were asked to recall the advertisements without prompts, and then to identify those recognized from a list of brand names. The study showed that humour in an advertisement negatively influenced brand recall and recognition and also reduced product recall and recognition. In both cases, respondents were less able to remember the products and brands in the humorous advertisements. Furthermore, people with low involvement in the advertised product category were more affected by the vampire effect and so were less likely to remember the product or brand. Finally, recommendations are provided for when humour in advertising is appropriate and when not. The study is important because, although there is much research on effectiveness of advertisements, especially recall and recognition, there is relatively little research on the vampire effect, and almost nothing on the vampire effect of humour in advertising.

Published: February 2025

The aim of this study is to investigate how personal value orientations—altruistic, biospheric, and egoistic—influence consumers' attitudes towards eco-friendly fashion brands and their purchase intentions. Data were gathered through a survey of 389 potential consumers in Indonesia, selected via simple random sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that personal value orientations significantly impact both attitudes and purchase intentions towards eco-friendly fashion brands. Although the values were not assessed individually, they collectively represent consumers' overall value orientations. Additionally, pro-environmental attitudes emerged as a crucial determinant of purchase intentions. The demographic analysis provided further insights into attitudes and behaviors related to eco-friendly practices. The study highlights practical implications for marketers, emphasizing the importance of aligning promotional strategies with consumers' personal values to enhance engagement and purchase intentions. Furthermore, a comprehensive understanding of demographic variables is essential for crafting targeted marketing campaigns. This research contributes to the Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory by providing empirical evidence on how personal value orientations shape consumer attitudes and purchase intentions towards eco-friendly fashion. The study acknowledges limitations and suggests that future research should include diverse cultural and geographic samples and explore other eco-friendly product categories.

Authors: Rahman Md Shafiqur , Bhowmik Proshanta Kumar , Hossain Balayet , Tannier Nikhil Rao , Amjad Mohammad Hamid Hasan , Chouksey Anchala , Hossain Miraz
Published: February 2025

The landscape of financial fraud in the United States is more advanced today, with fraudsters adopting sophisticated methods that elude traditional detection systems. As digital payments gain popularity, the number of potential fraud cases and their sophistication also increased, causing heavy financial losses to institutions and consumers alike. The primary objective of this research was to design and implement machine learning models that can significantly improve fraud detection systems in their precision. This study was centered specifically on fraud detection in the US financial system, researching artificial intelligence approaches that can be applied to support anomaly detection and risk analysis processes. The dataset employed in the analysis is a high-level transaction dataset that includes a spectrum of financial transaction details. Each transaction entry included primary details such as timestamp, transaction value, and sender-receiver information. The timestamp enabled each transaction to be sorted in chronological order, making it possible to carry out time-series analysis of patterns such as maximum transaction time or seasonality in spending behavior. Three models were predominantly employed: Random Forest Classifier, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Classifier. The performance of models was measured using a set of metrics that included accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC. The Random Forest model was better in terms of higher accuracy, thanks to its ability to handle non-linear relationships via ensemble learning. The integration of machine learning in fraud detection enhances the capabilities of payment providers and financial institutions tremendously. With sophisticated algorithms, financial institutions can process large volumes of transactional data in real time, enabling them to detect anomalous patterns that speedily indicate fraud. The findings of this study reinforce the effectiveness of machine learning models in identifying anomalous transactions, verifying that advanced approaches such as Random Forest and Support Vector Machines significantly enhance fraud detection compared to legacy approaches. One key to such effectiveness is that feature selection is crucial; carefully chosen features that included user behavior and transactional context played a key role in increasing detection rates and eliminating false positives.

One of the roles of stomata was as a place of exchange of oxygen from the tissues into the atmosphere and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into plant tissues.  Dicot plants have stomata that spread throughout the surface of the leaves. This study aimed to identify the stomata type characteristics leaves of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Tamarindus indica and Mangifera indica.  The method of making preparations to see stomata using the replica method. The results showed that hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaves have anisositic stomata type, Tamarindus indica leaves have parasitic stomata type and Mangifera indica leaves have anomositic stomata type.  The conclusion of the study proves that in some dicot plants have a variety of stomata types.

Kehadiran dan kemelimpahan Komodo (Varanus komodoensis) dipengaruhi oleh kondisi vegetasi sebagai habitatnya. Belum pernah ada kajian terhadap vegetasi habitat komodo yang ditampilkan dalam bentuk profil hutan. Ada dua lokasi yaitu di Flores sebagai Pulau Besar dan Ontoloe sebagai Pulau Kecil. Kedua lokasi didominasi oleh ekosistem karst. Lokasi kajian di Riung terdiri dari Cagar Alam (CA) Wolo Tado dan CA Riung. Sebaliknya di Pulau Ontoloe termasuk dalam Taman Wisata Alam Laut (TWAL) 17 Pulau sejak tahun 1992. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk  mengkaji profil vegetasi habitat Komodo di pulau besar yaitu daerah Riung dan pulau kecil yaitu Pulau Ontoloe. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan metode  kuadrat plot dengan bantuan transek yang memotong lokasi kajian. Ukuran plot pada ekosistem hutan bakau, hutan ekoton dan hutan legong 20m x 20m dengan ulangan 4x. Sedangkan  padang rumput yang jarang pohon, ukuran plot 100m x 100m dengan ulangan 4x. Gambar profil diambil dari data yang mewakili vegetasi habitat komodo.  Hasil yang diperoleh bahwa Riung dan Ontoloe memiliki tipe ekosistem meliputi ekosistem hutan bakau, hutan ekoton, dan hutan bukit. Ketinggian profil mulai dari 0,03 m sampai lebih tinggi dari 10 m. Strata profil hutan ada first layer, second layer dan third layer. Heteropogon concortus tetap lestari di Riung dan Pulau Ontoloe sehingga menjadi sumber pakan herbivora yang akan menjaga pakan V. komodoensis. Pohon dan sapling menjadi tempat perteduhan bagi herbivora. Pengetahun profil ini akan mendukung perilaku konservasi vegetasi sebagai habitat komodo.

Distribution and abundance of Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) influenced by vegetation as their habitat. The study about vegetation profile of Komodo dragon’s habitat in Riung and Ontoloe Island in East Nusa Tenggara is a new. Riung’s location is in Big Island or Flores and Ontoloe as Small Island. They are dominated by karst ecosystem. Riung have Wolo Tado and Riung as Cagar Alam (CA). But Ontoloe Island include in Taman Wisata Alam Laut (TWAL) 17 Pulau since 1992. The purposes are to study about verrtical and horizontal diagrame of vegetation profil in Big Island and Small Island. We use plot quadrat with transect. Plot in mangrove ecosystem, ecotone and legong were 20m x 20m with replication 4 times. In sabana woodland, plot was 100m x 100m because the trees were rare, replication 4 times. Vegetation profile drawn from representative datas. The result that in Big and Small Island had some types of ecosystem: mangrove, ecotone and hills. Profile of forest starts form 0,03 – 10m, vertically with first. Heteropogon concortus sustains in Riung and Ontoloe then will support herbivore as Komodo dragon’s prey. Trees and sapling become canopy for herbivores. This study will inform and support people’s knowing and conservation acts in Komodo dragon’s habitat.

UJI SENSITIVITAS BAKTERI TAHAN LOGAM BERAT PADA PERAIRAN SUNGAI DRIYOREJO GRESIK

Heavy metal pollution is one of the problems that arise because of the large number of industrial wastes containing heavy metals. Efforts to control waste, especially heavy metals in waters need to be carried out immediately, because heavy metals, such as lead (Pb) and chromium (Cr) are toxic to humans. One way that can be done is by doing biomonitoring. Microbes can be used as bioindicators of the presence of pollutants/waste in waters. Microbes utilize organic, inorganic, and metallic wastes as substrates for their growth. The sensitivity test of Pb and Cr heavy metal-resistant microbes was carried out using the paper disc method. Paper discs with various concentrations of heavy metals Pb and Cr were placed in such a way on the surface of NA media that had been inoculated with Pb and Cr heavy metal-resistant microbial isolates. Incubated for 24 hours and measured the inhibition zone. The results showed that 3 heavy metal resistant bacteria were K1 (Pseudomonas pseudomallei), K2 (Pseudomonas fluorescens), and K3 (Bacillus subtilis). Overall, none of the inhibition zones exceeded 0.50 mm and this indicated that the sensitivity of the three bacteria to heavy metals Pb and Cr was low. They are can be used as bioindicators of the presence of heavy metals Pb and Cr because they are able to grow in an environment with heavy metal concentrations of Pb and Cr above the threshold. K1 (Pseudomonas pseudomallei), K2 (Pseudomonas fluorescens), and K3 (Bacillus subtilis) have potential as bioremoval agents for heavy metals Pb and Cr.
