A research competing model of organizational culture, organizational learning, management innovation and NPD: Evidence from technology firms
Authors: Zehir Cemal , Karaca Dilek
Published: June 2023

This study aims to develop a competing model to identify the best-fitting culture type in the relationship between organizational learning, management innovation, and New Product Development (NPD) performance, and it also aims to explore the moderator role of organizational culture in this relationship. The study collected data from 661 employees through survey methods from 234 firms in Turkey and tested with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The research shows that, despite the acceptable goodness of fit indices for each type in comparing four culture types, the market and adhocracy culture model is the best-fitting model and performs better with the best goodness of fit. In addition to the fact that the market and adhocracy cultures have partial moderator effects on the relationship between organizational learning, management innovation, and new product development, the study explains the relationship between organizational learning, new product development performance, and management innovation within a competing model based on organizational culture. It also provides a framework for firms to prioritize new product development to decide which cultural structure to choose.
The causal relationship among trade openness, financial development, and economic growth: Recent evidence from newly industrialized countries (NICs)
Authors: Tosunoğlu Burak Tuğberk
Published: June 2023

A country's financial development and trade openness are important indicators that affect integration into the economic system at the international level. Especially in newly industrializing countries, these variables can be beneficial in ensuring economic growth. Financial development supports economic development through the mobilization and effective use of capital. Trade openness is one of the unifying forces of productivity and economic growth. The effectiveness of trade openness is highly dependent on structural reforms. Newly industrialized countries are motivated to attract large amounts of capital and investment from the global economy. These countries tend to encourage exports while ensuring their industrialization. This research investigates the relationships between financial development, trade openness, and economic growth for ten newly industrializing countries. Research data contained the period from 1990 to 2020. The Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test was used in the analysis. Considering the results, there is a uni-directional causality relationship between trade openness to economic growth and financial development to trade openness. Moreover, a bidirectional relationship between economic growth and financial development has been observed.

The role of services mix and value-based benefits on customer switching intention: A study on online food delivery services platforms
Authors: Sözer Edin Güçlü , Uzpeder İbrahim , Özcan Hakan
Published: June 2023

Increased mobile technology adoption, the convenience of one-click shopping using mobile apps, and the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic have shifted consumer preferences, habits, and priorities in their communication, transaction, and consumption processes. As a reflection of these changes, the growth of the online food delivery (OFD) market has gained tremendous momentum in the last couple of years. Unlike physical store retail services and non-food item delivery services, OFD services require adapting the retail service mix. This study aims to generate a holistic view of OFD service marketing by determining the role of adapted OFD service mix elements in shaping consumers’ utilitarian and hedonic value perceptions regarding the service provided, which may influence consumers’ satisfaction and switching intentions. The findings confirm the significant effect of OFD service mix elements, namely quality, convenience, and price factors, on consumers’ utilitarian and hedonic value perceptions. Utilitarian value perceptions positively influence customer satisfaction with OFD services. On the other hand, results confirm no significant effect of hedonic value perceptions on customer satisfaction. Increasing customer satisfaction levels related to OFD services negatively affect consumers’ switching intentions.

Objective: to study the risk factors for COVID-19 adverse outcomes in repurposed hospitals of various types.Material and methods. A retrospective study was conducted in the ICUs of three repurposed hospitals: a municipal hospital, a federal center and a private clinic. Data of 369 patients were analyzed for the period from April to December 2020. Gender, age, BMI, NEWS score, severity of lung damage based on CT quantification, blood gases and pH, patterns of antibiotic administration during hospital stay (all classes and number of antimicrobials, regardless the sequence of administration), patterns of main drugs administration (glucocorticosteroids, lopinavir/ritonavir, tocilizumab/ solilumab, hydroxychloroquine) were evaluated as risk factors. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated by logistic regression.Results. Patients from repurposed hospitals of various types were distinguishable in terms of distribution by sex, severity of lung damage, administered therapy, blood gases, and the number of antimicrobials used. Mortality rates were 21.8% in the federal center, 41.4% in the private clinic, and 77.2% in the municipal hospital. The most significant risk factors were: the severity of lung damage based on CT quantification (OR=3.694, 95% CI: 1.014–13.455, P=0.048) — in the federal center, patient’s age (OR=1.385, 95% CI: 1.034–1.854, P=0.029) and arterial oxygen tension (OR=0.806, 95% CI: 0.652–0.996) — in the municipal hospital, and patients’ age (OR=2.158, 95% CI: 1.616–2.880, P0.0001), number of antibiotics (OR=1.79, 95% CI: 1.332–2.406, P=0.0001), and blood pH (OR=0.381, 95% CI: 0.261–0.555, P0.0001) — in the private clinic.Conclusion. Patient’s profiles in municipal, federal, and private ICU settings varied significantly in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gender distribution and severity of the diseases were found as the most significant differences among them. Clinical outcomes were also different, with the lowest mortality rate in the federal center and the highest in the municipal hospital. Arterial pO₂, blood pH, and the number of antimicrobials used in the course of treatment were the significant risk factors of fatal outcome (in some hospitals).

Authors: Kol Hamiyet Şahin , Vaydoğan Kübra Gündüz
Published: June 2023

Effects of temperature dependence and relative humidity were studied relative to the thermal conductivity of heat-treated pine and heat-treated beech, which are frequently used for building construction. Pine and beech wood were exposed to heat treatment at 180, 200, and 220 °C in nitrogen gas for 2 h. As a result, the thermal conductivity values of the heat-treated wood decreased as the temperature of the heat treatment process increased and relative humidity increased. However, thermal conductivity of wood became more stable after heat treatment under relative humidity changes. The thermal conductivity values increased with rising mean plate temperatures, while the temperature dependence of the heat-treated wood was not affected by the relative humidity changes. Consequently, heat-treated wood, with variable humidity without excessive heat changes, can be preferred for the construction of buildings.

Authors: Asgher Muhammad , Ahmed Nadeem , Nasir Iqbal Hafiz Muhammad
Published: June 2023

An indigenous locally isolated white rot fungal strain Phanerochaete chrysosporium IBL-03was investigated for the hyper-production of ligninolytic enzymes from different agro-industrial wastes including wheat straw, rice straw, banana stalks, corncobs, corn stover, and sugarcane bagasse as substrate material in still culture fermentation technique. Screening experiments were performed at 30oC from 1 to 10 days and maximum enzyme activities were recorded after the 5th day of incubation on banana stalk. P. chrysosporium IBL-03 produced highestactivities of lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) but no laccase activity was detected in any fermented culture media. Production of ligninolytic enzymes was substantially enhanced through the optimization process. When banana stalk at 66.6 % moisture level and pH 4.5 was inoculated with 5mL spore suspension of P. chrysosporium IBL-03 at 35oC in the presence of molasses (1%) as carbon source, ammonium sulfate (0.2%) as nitrogen supplement, (1%) Tween-80 (0.3 mL) as surfactant and mediators (MnSO4 and veratryl alcohol) enhanced the LiP and MnP production up to 1040 and 965 (U/mL), respectively.
Efficient enzymatic in situ saccharification of cellulose in aqueous-ionic liquid media by microwave pretreatment
Authors: Li Lu , Yu Shi-Tao , Liu Fu-Sheng , Xie Cong-Xia , Xu Cui-Zhi
Published: June 2023

Several representative ionic liquids (ILs) were synthesized, and [Emim]OAc was chosen as environment-friendly solvent for enzymatic in situ saccharification in view of its biocompatibility with both natural and microcrystalline cellulose, as well as its enzymatic activity. With the microwave pretreatment of natural and microcrystalline cellulose, directly enhancing the in situ enzymatic saccharification, the rate was compared versus an untreated control by the detection of dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS). It is suggested that the molecular structure of cellulose in the process of pretreatment was changed, e.g. intramolecular hydrogen bonds were broken (detected by FT-IR), and the crystallinity (monitored by SEM and XRD) changed significantly from a crystalline to an amorphous pattern. These changes of cellulose led to an increase of reducing sugar conversion during cellulose enzymatic hydrolysis.

Authors: Sabaani Satra A
Published: June 2023

Developing different levels of pasture combinations in goat diets still needs to be well established. Although many farmers have already practiced introducing different kinds of pasture in the goat grazing habits, fewer are into feeding goats with various levels of Indigofera and super Napier grass. The study was conducted to assess the effect of different Indigofera and super Napier combinations on the growth performance, morphometry, and carcass characteristics of goats. The study was carried out using a Completely Randomized Designed (CRD) with six treatments replicated four times, where Treatments 1 and 6 served as a control. Tukey HSD test carried out a multi-comparison of means among different treatments. Feeding goats with 100% Indigofera, 80% Super Napier + 20% Indigofera and 100% super Napier significantly resulted in better growth performance of goats, specifically on the final weight (16.93kg, 16.68 kg, and 16.57 kg, respectively) live weight change (3.16 kg, 2.90 kg and 2.67 kg, respectively). Sixty percent super Napier + 40% Indigofera combination significantly affects the feed intake (1.71 kg), while 70% super Napier + 30% Indigofera and 60% super Napier + 40% Indigofera significantly influence the feed efficiency of goat (0.60 and 0.76, respectively). One hundred percent Indigofera likewise influenced the chest perimeter (57.20cm), loin eye area (11.66 cm2), gastrointestinal contents (2.90 kg), hot carcass weight (6.72 kg), cold carcass weight (6.45%), pluck weight (0.68 kg), the weight of total trimmable fats (0.33 kg), percentage weight of total trimmable fats (2.02%) and 70% super Napier + 30% Indigofera also has a significant effect on the percentage rib cut with a cooler shrink (7.62%) after 60 days of experimentation. These results recommend 80% SN+20% Indigofera, 70% SN + 30% Indigofera, and 60% SN + 40% Indigofera.
The Potential Profitability of Poultry Farm: A Case of Mini Poultry Farm Feasibility of Tawi-Tawi Regional Agricultural College: Tarawakan Campus
Authors: Puhagan Edwin M , Juljani Nurshima H
Published: June 2023

It was a school-based research project examining the viability of a farm producing Mini-Poultry broilers on the Tawi-Tawi Regional Agricultural College Tarawakan campus. As input costs and point-of-sale prices changed, potential profitability was assessed using sensitivity analysis. This was decided based on the growth rate, survival, and return on investment of the grown chicken. Running down the data using Statistics for Applied Science (SAS) produced a P-value of 0.131927, showing a linear trend with a minor deviation. As the number of chicks rises, profitability generally rises as well, or it stays the same if the quantity is maintained. This practical study boosts the output and incomes of locals who sell live chicken meat. It also continuously contributes to improving local bird production as it creates supplemental feed at its own feed mill using increasingly inventive techniques and primarily local products. As an alternative to expensive feed sold by feed millers, which has a lower "nutrient density" balanced for all nutrients but low energy due to the inclusion of low-energy ingredients like cassava leaf meal, acacia fruit meal, and swam cabbage mixed with commercial broiler diets, the small flocks of poultry are fed on "Domestic but improvised Feed." Due to the increased demand for meat with very small starting flocks that are then sold for growth under the traditional extensive system achieved by better health care, backyard village poultry flock producers are now transitioning into relatively small-scale or mini poultry chicken producers

Authors: Juljani Nurshima H
Published: June 2023

The study sought to determine which of the four Tawi-Tawi Regional Agricultural College mandates had the most and least practical justifications. A quality and quantity descriptive-correlation design was used in the study. Research, instruction, extension services, and college productivity were the topics of the five parts of questions. The significance of the independent variables was assessed using multiple regression analysis. The majority of respondents were Muslim, female, from the Sama tribe, between the ages of 36 and 40, and single. The socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents did not indicate a significant impact on the efficiency of the institutions. A similar conclusion was made about production and extension services. The majority of the metrics used to gauge institutional performance received high marks. The college's primary mandate was production, and its primary objective was instruction. Overall, all of the metrics received a "good" rating. This was suggested by the overall grand mean of 3.68. Three co-curricular program indicators were the only ones to obtain an overall rating of "very satisfactory." The indicators have qualified, capable faculty advisers for the numerous student organizations and clubs, and nominated officers methodically coordinate them. The socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents did not indicate a significant impact on the efficiency of the institutions. The college must have a tight admissions and retention policy. The latter group needs exceptional guidance in their extracurricular and academic endeavors.

Published: June 2023

Slangs are phrases that have strong roots in the culture of a given social and cultural stratum; translating them is challenging. Slang is a kind of daily socio-linguistic manifestation that emerges from a particular socio-cultural or socio-economic group's efforts to codify its members' ideology or mental projections. Slang refers to a language or set of words that are widely used but seldom defined. This study is an Arabic translation of slang used in 21st-century American songs. The research also examines how the slang was translated and the attributes that made them practical communication tools. Arabic speakers learning American English will benefit most from this concentration on slang and its context. The analysis is carried out through the thematic analysis method based on an apparent qualitative study. Twenty (20) slang terms borrowed from 21st-century American pop songs were adapted to be translated into Arabic. The study's data consists of slang expressions in the song lyrics of two American hip-hop/rap singers, Eminem and Wiz Khalifa. Marshal Mathers II by Eminem (2013) and Khalifa by Wiz Khalifa (2016) were picked as the only albums by each artist. To communicate with native Arabic speakers, the researcher modified the English-Arabic Translator used for superficial translation. Functional equivalents, social equivalents, modulations, substitution, and paraphrases are the main translation strategies adopted in translating the selected slang into formal Arabic. Based on the thematic evaluation, it was discovered that paraphrasing is the most effective strategy for translating American slang into Arabic. Consequently, the research shows that the meanings of slang terms are affected by context and situational variability. The conclusion is that slang plays a significant part in a conversation. To utilize it fully, learners must be familiar with their contexts and interpretations.
Mediated Role of New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) Between Environmental Concerns and Students’ Green Purchase Behavior (GPB) Interfered by Big-5 Personality

Published: June 2023

Human basic needs should be filled with satisfaction in daily life for survival and growth. One of the behavior, in this case, is the ability of the people to consume goods they need, that is why they are called consumers. To satisfy their needs, they have to use their purchase behavior for the transaction, which is called green transaction when they perceive that behavior would be meant to preserve our nature since most of the goods as products derived from the exploitation of nature. That was why this research was urgently conducted to find out the information, on what factors should be considered that affect people’s green purchasing behavior (GPB). For this purpose, a causal survey was used by selecting randomly 160 university students as a sample. There were four instruments developed to measure green purchase behavior (reliability was 0.947), environmental concern (rel. was 0.927), students’ new environmental paradigm (NEP/rel. was 0.961), and big-5 personality (rel. was 0.972). Data were analyzed by path analysis. The research results revealed that all those exogen variables found affected directly and significantly students’ GPB. It was found also the good role of students’ NEP which was proven to be highly significant as mediated variable between environmental concerns with students’ GPB even though it was interfered with by students’ personalities empirically. Therefore, it could be concluded that in developing university campus policies, it is well suggested to involve those factors such as students’ environmental concerns, their NEP, and personalities as well to be taken into consideration.

Published: June 2023

Each profession has its own requirements, legal norms and we also work with the personal aspect of the worker. This professional text provides a description of the professional nature of the social worker in the Czech Republic and points out the developments that should reflect the upcoming changes. So what are the prerequisites for performing social work? Of course, we are aware that in the application of the situational approach, the personal setting of the social worker is only one side of the coin, the other side being the organisational and legislative conditions for the performance of social work by a given worker. However, based on our findings, it appears that personal setting plays a slightly more significant role. Since 2006, the Czech Republic has had legislation regulating the nature of social services, and in view of the reflection, there is new talk of necessary changes.

Published: June 2023

Dehydration is a major factor in both illness and mortality in children. Nurses play a vital role in managing dehydration. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of an educational program on nurses’ clinical practice on patients with moderate to severe dehydration. In this quasi-experimental study design, we divided 48 nurses into two groups equally: the experimental group was exposed to the educational program; the control group was not exposed to the educational program in Duhok and Zakho Cities/Iraqi Kurdistan (March 6, - June 12, 2022). The mean score of practice of the experimental group was significantly higher compared to the control group at the posttest step (27.71 vs. 2029; P<0.0001) and the second follow-up (26.63 vs. 20.96; P<0.0001). The experimental group had a significantly higher correct practice of dehydration practice than the children at the post-test and the second follow-up. The study showed that the level of practice score was significantly increased from the pretest to the posttest (20.96 vs. 20.29; p=0.0053) and from the posttest to the second follow-up (20.96 vs. 20.29; P=0.0174) in the control group. However, the practice level was significantly increased from the baseline to the posttest and posttest 2 in the experimental groups. The nurses in the surgical and medical wards had significantly higher practice scores compared to those in the NICU; 28.0 and 27.71 vs. 24.67, respectively.  The educational program is an effective method to increase the practice of nurses in caring the children with moderate-severe dehydration.

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the size of the construction business and the location of the risk with the risks that arise in construction projects in Indonesia. The method used is two-way anova analysis by sampling 90 construction projects in Indonesia. The independent variable in this study is the size of the construction business and the location of the risk, while the dependent variable is the risk on the construction project. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the size of the construction business and the risks of construction projects in Indonesia. In addition, there is also a significant relationship between the location of risks and risks in construction projects in Indonesia. However, there was no significant interaction between the size of the construction business and the location of risk to risk in construction projects in Indonesia. This research contributes to the construction industry in Indonesia in evaluating the factors that affect risk in construction projects. By knowing the relationship between the size of the construction business and the location of the risk with the risk on the construction project, the contractor company can improve the risk management strategy to minimize the risk to the construction project in the future. Future research may consider other variables such as contractor experience and expertise as well as external factors such as market and political conditions to better understand the factors that influence risk in construction projects in Indonesia.

Published: June 2023

The school greening program supports the inculcation among learners with the love of nature since it cultivates among them the significance of plants in making the learning space beautiful and healthy. However, people cannot just bring any beautiful ornamental plants as they please especially to a school campus. Plants ideally possess defense mechanisms to protect themselves from harm. Hence, they develop thorns, spikes, and scents to ward off any potential predators. A piece of knowledge about this plant defense mechanism as well as plants’ toxicity should be instilled among the adults in the learning space, particularly the teachers. Thus, this paper intends to ascertain the level of awareness of public school teachers on toxic and harmful plants commonly found in the classroom or school premises and determine the level of prevention and protection for learners against plant-causing emergencies. Results reveal that the teachers’ awareness particularly on making the learning space safe may have something to do with first aid application in case of emergencies and protecting children. The more the teachers aim to provide a wholesome and safe space for the learners, the more they try to learn and apply first aid as their way of protecting their learners. It is recommended that the school should provide first aid kits with antihistamines and teachers should be provided by the concerned agencies list of plants that may potentially be toxic or harmful to the schoolchildren. Furthermore, school gardening activities must be done with great precautions.
