The Relationship and Influences of Organisational Resilience and Open Innovation for United Kingdom (UK) Life Science Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)
Authors:   , Winn Michael
Published: June 2024

This research questions whether open innovation can enhance the organisational resilience of United Kingdom life science small and medium-sized enterprises, by asking how the two concepts are related and influenced. This provides a significant and original contribution to knowledge and practice, to best understand how the two concepts associate, and how practitioners should allocate their limited resources across three factors (internal, demographic, external) to enhance both concepts together. The rationale is drawn from a gap in the peer-reviewed and grey literature, as it reports that United Kingdom life science small and medium-sized enterprises face a 39% failure rate, with those practicing closed innovation being more at risk. These sized enterprises represent 99.9% of the national economy and those operating in the life sciences must become resilient to deliver important social health and economic benefits. This research contributes to the body of knowledge by first considering the concept of organisational resilience, which has a standardised industry definition as an ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond, and adapt to disruption and change. The second concept of this research, open innovation, is defined as using external resources for innovation, whilst also allowing any unused resources to go outside of organisational boundaries. Mixed methods with multi-stage validation of regression and thematic analyses, ensured rigour. Findings show a moderate, positive relationship between the concepts for United Kingdom life science small and medium-sized enterprises. It was, therefore, of value to combine them into an interaction variable, to measure their influences. The foremost contribution is that internationalisation is the most significant influence, implying that a globalised outlook is beneficial. Furthermore, the frequency of significant influences was equal across internal and external factors, indicating that owner-managers should be considerate of both contexts during their resource-based activities.
Disrupting the diagnostic paradigm of gestational diabetes mellitus using blood-based vibrational spectroscopy
Authors:   , Richards Oliver
Published: June 2024

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common obstetric disorder typically affecting 7-10% of pregnancies worldwide and is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. GDM can lead to further complications for both mother and fetus, including obstetric complications and development of type 2 diabetes later in life. The diagnostic test for GDM is the glucose tolerance test (GTT), which involves a lengthy hospital attendance, consumption of a glucose load in a fasting state and two blood tests. Vibrational spectroscopy (VS), notably Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, probe the vibrational modes of molecules to relay biochemical information of sample composition. The advantages of these techniques as a diagnostic platform mean they are a promising candidate technology to disrupt the current diagnostic paradigm of GDM. This project evaluated the current GDM diagnosis pathway through a qualitative investigation involving stakeholders and patients to unveil that the current GDM diagnostic paradigm requires change, with a more convenient approach for patients and staff needed. Evaluation of peripheral and capillary blood pre-analytical conditions revealed that serum is the optimal sample type to investigate the utility of VS for diagnosing GDM. Taking a cohort approach in parallel with routine GTT in the local health board, VS at 26–28 weeks of gestation was shown to have diagnostic potential, but curtailment of recruitment due to COVID-19 means that further validation with more participants is needed. Findings suggest VS might enable earlier diagnosis in pregnancy than the current GTT. Mechanistically, GDM appears to be associated with altered cargo composition and miRNA content of small extracellular vesicles. In conclusion, this thesis highlights the promising potential of VS as a disruptive opportunity to reshape the diagnostic paradigm for GDM, including earlier diagnosis for improved outcomes for mother and child.

Published: June 2024

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Eosinophilia, which may have a significant role in the inflammation process and obstruction of airways, is present in about one third patients suffering from COPD. The significance of eosinophil counts in COPD is currently debated, but they can potentially serve as biomarkers for treatment selection. Blood eosinophil counts can assist in determining the patients who can benefit from inhaled corticosteroid therapy to prevent or eliminate exacerbations.

The aim of this review is to demonstrate the significance of eosinophilic inflammation COPD and the use of eosinophilic inflammation biomarkers to guide therapy decisions.

To reach this goal, a search of relevant literature on the subject was conducted. Articles were searched in electronic sources: PubMed and Google Scholar. The keywords "COPD and eosinophilia", "COPD exacerbations and eosinophilia", "inhaled corticosteroids, COPD and eosinophilia" were used. One hundred and twenty sources were found, of which 66 were selected.

Results of the review showed high frequency of eosinophilic phenotype detection in COPD. Blood eosinophilia becomes a potential universal marker of eosinophilic COPD. Blood eosinophils level can predict response to inhaled corticosteroids treatment patients with COPD, but increases the likelihood of pneumonia. Overall, the role of eosinophilia in COPD has not been obtained to date, which suggests it needs further study.

The Europeanization of Georgian Consumer Law: A Pathway to Harmonization
Authors: Lakerbaia Tamar
Published: June 2024

On March 29, 2022, the Parliament of Georgia passed the Law on Protection of Consumer Rights, with its primary provisions taking effect on June 1, 2022. By enacting the Law, Georgia has largely fulfilled its commitment under the Association Agreement with the European Union (EU) to implement EU directives governing consumer protection into its national legislation. However, it is essential to recognize that this reform marks just the initial phase of approximation. Challenges persist, especially in relation to European directives concerning the regulation of the digital marketplace. This article aims to provide a concise overview of the reform facilitated by the adoption of the new Law. Moreover, given that only one year has passed since the implementation of the Law, there remains a lack of practical experience or judicial precedent to assess its positive or negative impacts. Academic studies in this direction are also lacking. Consequently, the discussion in this article primarily centers on the novelty and challenges presented by the Law in the light of EU directives.

Through the examination of Estonia’s successful transformation from a Soviet-era environment to a robust EU-compatible CIP system, the study offers recommendations tailored to Georgia’s context.
Morality in a Branching Universe
Authors: Miller Kristie
Published: June 2024

In most cases, we think that what settles what act it is right to perform is sensitive to what we take the facts about the world to be. But those facts include many controversial metaphysical claims about the world. I argue that depending on what metaphysical model we take to be correct, we will have very different views about what the right actions are. In particular, I argue that if a particular metaphysical model — the branching universe model — is correct, then many of our ethical intuitions are false. We need to think carefully about the relation between ethical and metaphysical intuitions, and ethical and metaphysical theories.

What We Know So Far about Transfer Pricing: a Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Mijoč Ivo , Alić Martina Briš , Drvenkar Nataša
Published: June 2024

The objective of this study was to provide comprehensive static information in the area of transfer pricing in order to assess the current situation and attempt to establish future research priorities. The data source used is the WoS database, where 788 different articles with 21,917 corresponding references were collected for the analysis. A bibliometric approach was applied using the VoSviewer software. In comparison to Kumar et al. (2021), who presented the results of the citation analysis of the articles found in the SCOPUS database, the authors performed a first-level analysis of the articles found in the WoS database, but also a second-level analysis, which was presented as a co-citation analysis. The primary similarity arises from the use of an identical methodology at the first level of analysing different sources, while the results of the co-citation analysis allow the formation of clusters for references, sources and authors, thus closing the obvious gap in the analysis of Kumar et al. (2021). The obtained results show two logical directions of continuation and development of the studied topic. The first direction allows future researchers to have a basic understanding of the breadth and depth of currently published works and studies on transfer pricing, while the development of the treated topic should be seen in the context of filling the gaps between transfer pricing and bibliometric analysis.

Muara Sahung District, Kaur Regency, is an area with a high level of landslide disasters. These incidents often cut off the connecting transportation route between Kaur Regency, Bengkulu Province, and South Oku Regency, South Sumatra Province. This research aims to analyze the potential for landslide disasters in this area. We used the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) technique to analyze microtremors and identify landslide-prone areas in this research. A total of 13 measurement points with a distance of 1–3 km between points are located in Serdang Indah Village, Luas District, Ulak Bandung Village, Bukit Makmur and Sumber Makmur, Muara Sahung District, Kaur Regency, Bengkulu Province. This was carried out using the PASI Gemini-2 portable seismometer device in the Kaur Regency area with hilly contours on the left and right of the road. The analysis results include the amplification factor (A0), dominant frequency (f0), and soil vulnerability index (Kg). The results of the analysis and calculations show that the highest landslide risk value among all points is at point (KR-4, KR-5) in Ulak Village, Bandung (KR-7). Bukit Makmur Village and (KR-9) Serdang Indah Village, where this location is on a road with steep hilly contours that often cause landslides.
Legal Anomie in the Legal Life of Modern Society
Authors: Malko A. V. , Lipinsky D. A. , Markunin R. S. , Ivanov A. A.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The article analyzes the problems associated with such a modern challenge as legal anomie. And although anomie is studied very actively in philosophy and sociology, this cannot be said about legal science. The authors advocate the creation of a theory of legal anomie, in which they propose to explore its essence, content and structure, and give it a general characteristic. In this regard, the article examines the concept and signs of legal anomie, shows its place and role not only in the legal system, but also in the legal life of society. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research is based on the following general scientific and special methods of cognition of the manifestation of legal anomie in the legal life of modern society: materialistic dialectics, complex and systematic approaches, sociological and statistical, comparative legal and formal legal methods. The results of the study. Anomalous processes are investigated both in relation to the legal system and in relation to a broader category — the legal life of society. Cognition in this way allowed us to "enter" the shadow component of legal life, which is reinforced by abnormal manifestations. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that legal anomie can be associated with the refusal to comply not only with established legal, but also with other social norms (political, moral, etc.), which sometimes allows it to transform into a special form — dysnomy. Based on the results of the analysis based on statistical and sociological data, it was revealed that the legal anomie that existed in Russia in the 90s has mostly been overcome, in Western countries (primarily in the USA) it is only "gaining momentum", acting as a significant threat to their development.Discussion and conclusion. It is proved that legal anomie has a very significant impact on the legal life of society through its legal system. Abnormal processes, being a destabilizing factor for the latter, thereby chaoticize any vital activity, including legal ones. Such a circumstance is one of the signs of legal anomie, because thereby, in terms of content, a number of legal consequences dangerous to society are created: violations of human and civil rights and freedoms, legality and law and order, harmful effects on the consciousness of the individual, etc.
Codes of Professional Ethics in the System of Regulation of Corporate Relations
Authors: Mitrofanov D. А.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The article presents a study of the feasibility of having corporate codes of ethics in corporations that have different statutory goals, examines questions about the correlation between business and moral rules, the role of ethical codes in the management of corporations, the practical benefits, “payback” of codes and attracting investments.Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the study was the following general scientific and special methods of cognition of legal phenomena and processes: the method of system-structural analysis; method of synthesis of social and legal phenomena; comparative legal method; formal logical method.Research results. As a result of the study, the Author came to the conclusion that the presence of codes of professional ethics is an indicator of the moral maturity of a society (in our case, a corporation), which can independently regulate the behavior of its members without the help of the state.Regardless of the degree of connection between codes of ethics and federal legislation, their blanket nature or sovereignty, corporate codes of ethics remain one of the most important tools for managing the activities of a corporation and regulating corporate relations.Examining the codes of ethics of corporations, it can be stated that, when integrated with the law, they have a positive impact on increasing the efficiency of the corporation and the formation of a morally oriented corporate culture.The inclusion of ESG principles in corporate codes of ethics increases the company’s responsibility in the field of environmental protection and brings corporations to a new level of social significance. In turn, this leads to the socialization of the business and helps to increase the business reputation of the corporation.Discussion and conclusion. The study of corporate codes of ethics allows us to draw conclusions that, having the status of a corporate regulatory legal act, it is a flexible and full-fledged tool for managing a corporation.The interaction of law and morality in corporations is implemented through a new model of influence on management, where the norms of ethics and morality are intertwined with legal mechanisms to achieve a synergistic effect - the formation of a unique corporate culture.The practical uniformity of the categories of morality and ethics used in corporate codes of ethics provides grounds for the development of universal ethical principles for their mandatory use in these acts.

Published: June 2024

Introduction. The article is devoted to the analysis of the reasons for the defectiveness of a number of regulations on economic activity in the country. The need to intensify the development of a methodology for the use of digital technologies in rule-making activities is substantiated.Materials and methods. In the course of writing the work, regulatory materials and works of domestic and foreign authors were used. Techniques of scientific knowledge were used: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalizations, analogies and others. The methodological basis of the study was made up of general scientific and special legal methods: systemic-structural, method of dogmatic analysis, method of interpretation of legal norms, method of legal-technical design, comparative legal, formal legal, logical, statistical, etc.Results of the study. Analysis of the current array of regulatory acts of the Russian Federation made it possible to identify its incomplete compliance with the requirements for building self-consistent management systems.It has been proven that the main condition for the effective use of digital technologies in rule-making is to ensure that the system of existing regulations in the country is closed from external influence. Ways have been proposed to improve the content of normative acts regulating civil law relations in the context of the introduction of digital technologies into law enforcement and legislative processes.Discussion and conclusions. The conducted research allows us to draw attention to the conceptual foundations of the transformation of its legal regulation in line with international agreements in this area, as well as critically evaluate the effectiveness of some areas of modern lawmaking.

The purpose of developing the colour coding system is to create better awareness and help consumers monitor and understand the sugar content of foods. Our research focused on food products (dairy products and cereal products on the Slovenian market) that contain so-called hidden sugars, as these can cause many health risks. The aim of the study was to raise awareness of the sugar content in dairy products and cereals through a packaging design with a uniform labelling and coding system. During the process of this research, few answers were provided to the following questions: How can a labelling system be designed to be clear and impartial, what is the hierarchy and layout of food information on packaging, and how can the system be coherently integrated with existing packaging? The impact of the information design on the consumer in the food packaging industry, which helps in further execution, was analysed. Based on the research, variants of a multi-colour labelling system were created, differing in primary information graphics, colour, placement and formats. The packaging for an imaginary brand and the placement of the code system were designed. Finally, the packaging design was implemented in the 3D models for each food group. The result of this research is a collection of packaging models with a labelling system that informs consumers about sugar content, facilitates decision-making and helps them control their food intake. The colour-coded labels were applied to the packaging in a uniform and coherent manner, which can provide sufficient attention and information.

One of the initial problems faced by young interior designers is to make a creative pattern to draw potential consumers’ attention. Their belief in the creative pattern should fit consumers’ expectations. This study scrutinized the relationship between young interior designers and potential consumers about both expectation, designers’ capital, and designers’ strategy to cap-ture the pattern in the design market. To this end, young interior designers (n=100) and potential design consumers (n=100) were recruited as respon-dents. Multiple linear regression and ordinal logisic regression were applied. The data analysis result demonstrated young designers’ marketing patterns to draw potential consumers’ attention. A correlation was found between young designers and design consumers. The expectation, capital, and strategy of designers were found to be interrelated by 48.1%, while those of consumers were interrelated by 28.6%. The research variables, which are designer capital, designer strategy and the two respondent groups, were found to have an impact on the expectation by 94.5%. This study concludes that young designers have a marketing pattern to draw poten-tial consumers’ attention. It showed a relationship between designers’ and consumers’ expectations, designers’ capital or information received by consumers, and designers’ strategy. This study may serve as a refer-ence for young designers’ behaviors when entering the market design.

RESILIENSI INDIVIDU TERHADAP FEAR OF MISSING OUT (FoMO) DALAM PERSPEKTIF ETIKA TELEOLOGI ARISTOTELES
Authors: Trianto Syaifullah Aji
Published: June 2024

Resiliensi individu merupakan kemampuan yang dimiliki oleh seseorang untuk dapat memulihkan diri dan mengelola emosinya dari permasalahan hidup yang mereka hadapi. Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) merupakan permasalahan psikologis yang seringkali dialami oleh pengguna media sosial, berupa kecemasan-kecemasan akibat melewatkan tren, informasi, momen kehidupan orang lain maupun hal lain di luar dirinya. Individu dengan resiliensi diri yang baik, akan lebih mampu mengatasi FoMO. Terdapat berbagai faktor yang mempengaruhi resiliensi individu, misalnya faktor eksternal dapat berupa nilai-nilai budaya, religius maupun filosofis yang dianut oleh individu bersangkutan. Dalam artikel ini, penulis tertarik menawarkan pandangan etika teleologi Aristoteles dalam kaitanya dengan pembentukan resiliensi individu terhadap FoMO. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi dan unsur-unsur metode filosofis, yaitu: interpretasi, refleksi kritis, holistik dan deskriptif. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukan, etika teleologi Aristoteles menekankan bahwa manusia sebagai makhluk rasional sepenuhnya bertanggung jawab atas hidupnya sendiri yaitu untuk mengaktualisasikan segala potensi yang dimilikinya untuk bertindak selaras dengan keutamaan moral dan semata-mata demi mencapai tujuan akhirnya yaitu kebahagiaan. Sehingga, tidak ada alasan bagi individu untuk mencemaskan hal-hal di luar dirinya dan mengabaikan potensi dan tujuanya sendiri.

The objective of this research is to study the possibility of utilizing kapreeta fish (like tuna) that has low nutritional value because of its bloody dark flesh and presence of many blood vessels and sus¬ceptibility to rapid spoilage, therefore. Kapreeta fish was used to prepare a high nutritional value of Surimi blends prepared from fish flesh supplemented with 15% level of soybean and rice bran protein concentrates to suggest its protein as a new protein source. Various compositional and functional prop¬erties were assessed to determine the effect of this substitution treatment on the final product charac¬teristics. The obtained results revealed that: rice bran protein concentrate is considered a good source of protein (72.90% on dry matter), more than 48.10 and 35.60% for soybean protein concentrate, whereas ash content of soybean protein (5.83%) are higher than that its value of rice bran protein con¬centrate (4.47%). The two protein sources showed to be rich in essential amino acids and met human requirements for all the essential amino acids since they have higher values than that recommended by FAO/WHO (1991) pattern for children of 10-12 years.

Tēmu var uzskatīt arī par visnotaļ aktuālu mūsdienu veselības aprūpes sistēmas attīstības kontekstā, kad māsas profesijas speciālistiem tiek izvirzīti aizvien jauni uzdevumi un radīti, šķiet, agrāk nepieredzēti izaicinājumi. Tikai izprotot māsas profesijas attīstību vēsturiskā secībā, ir iespējams precīzi mo delēt māsas lomu veselības un arī sociālās aprūpes sistēmu attīstības kontekstā nākotnē. Olgas Fokinas un Ingas Milleres pētījums atklāj noteiktu cikliskumu māsas profesijas attīstībā pēdējo nepilnu triju gadsimtu laikā. Tas korelē ar sabiedrībā valdošajiem uzskatiem, valsts ideoloģiskajiem uzstādījumiem un medicīnas nozares attīstības līmeni. Īpaši jāatzīmē, ka darba autores par atskaites punktu savam pētījumam ir ņēmušas laika periodu, kad pirmo reizi Latvijas teritorijā parādījās un sāka darboties speciālisti ar nosaukumu “žēlsirdīgā māsa”, tas ir, māsas, kas strādāja priestera Vincenta de Paula žēlsirdīgo māsu apvienībā. Protams, arī pirms 1789. gada Latvijas teritorijā pastāvēja slimnieku aprūpe, bet tās īstenotājus nesauca par žēlsirdīgajām māsām. Ne mazāk nozīmīgas ir pētījuma sadaļas, kas raksturo māsas profesionālās darbības autonomizāciju attiecībā pret pārējiem veselības un sociālajā aprūpē iesaistītajiem speciālistiem. Autonomizācijas cikliskais raksturs, sākot ar Vincenta de Paula žēlsirdīgo māsu profesionālo autonomiju, bet garīgo padotību baznīcas doktrīnai, ir nozīmīgs aspekts māsas profesijas attīstības izpratnē. Īpaši jāatzīmē, ka grāmatā plaši ir atspoguļoti arhīva materiāli, kas pieejami gan oriģinālā versijā, gan tulkojumā. Līdz ar to ikvienam lasītājam ir dota lieliska iespēja pašam iepazīties ar priestera Vincenta de Paula apvienības žēlsirdīgo māsu dzīves un darba organizācijas, kā arī reliģisko un profesionālo uzskatu aprakstu pirmavotiem, tādējādi papildinot savus priekšstatus gan par māsas profesijas attīstībā nozīmīgu vēsturisko periodu, gan par Latvijas, Lietuvas un Polijas vēsturi kopumā.

Tanaman porang (Amorphophallus muelleri B.) merupakan tanaman jenis umbi-umbian. Perbanyakan tanaman porang masih menggunakan metode konvensional dengan menggunakan biji atau katak yang mengalami dormansi dan membutuhkan waktu lama untuk dijadikan bibit. Pendekatan teknologi kultur jaringan melalui organogenesis merupakan solusi untuk bahan penyediaan bibit porang skala besar. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui respon TDZ (Thidiazuron) dengan konsentrasi berbeda terhadap pembentukan organogenesis. Penelitian ini menggunakan eksplan daun porang yang ditanam pada media MS. Metode penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) satu faktor hormon TDZ pada konsentrasi 0 mg/L, 1 mg/L, 2 mg/L, 3 mg/L, dan 4 mg/L. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa eksplan daun pada penambahan hormon TDZ dapat membentuk organogenesis secara tidak langsung, akan tetapi memberikan respon membentuk multiplikasi tunas. Media MS yang diberi perlakuan 2 mg/L TDZ memberikan nilai persentase tertinggi pada parameter daya pembentukan kalus sebesar 95%, daya regenerasi sebesar 88%, dan rata-rata jumlah tunas sebanyak 10.2 tunas.

Sunflower is one of the most profitable oil crops. The task of sunflower breeding is development of highly productive hybrids. The genetic diversity of initial germplasm is very important in this case. Molecular-genetic markers, particularly microsatellites, are used for the estimation of such material. The purpose of this research concluded in the genotyping of an Rf-lines collection, analyzing its genetic diversity using microsatellite markers. The analysis of 54 Rf-lines from a collection of V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops was carried out using 12 SSR-markers. Genetic passports of all studied lines were composed by these markers, the main indicators of SSR-loci information capacity were determined. The collection is characterized with a high genetic diversity, in total (Nа) 55 alleles were obtained, in average 4.58 alleles per locus. An effective allele amount (Ne) averaged 2.48. An index of polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.51. A level of line heterogeneity was quite low (5.5%) that certifies their good genetic uniformity. Due to the results, the collection was divided in two cluster at a joint level of 15.8. A minimal genetic distance between lines was equal 0. Eleven lines formed one cluster. The most lines (43 pcs) formed another cluster. The uniqueness of the collection was 91%.

Objectives:

The primary objective of this study is to measure the effect of melatonin in decreasing seizure frequency in intervention group as compared to controls in children with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Materials and Methods:

An open-label randomized controlled trial was conducted from July 2020 to June 2022 in children between 2 and 14 years with drug-resistant epilepsy attending Pediatric and Neurology outpatient department and inpatient department. After noting down baseline seizure frequency, children were randomized into the melatonin group and control group. In the melatonin group, add-on melatonin was added to the existing ASM, and in the control group, ASMs were continued. The primary and secondary outcomes were measured after 3 months of follow-up.

Results:

The percentage change in the seizure frequency between both groups at the end of 3 months of follow-up was not statistically significant, but the percentage reduction of seizure frequency was more than 50% in the melatonin group. Melatonin was well tolerated in our children except for 4 (22%) who developed minor adverse effects.

Conclusion:

Add-on melatonin decreases seizure frequency to some extent which was not statistically significant with no major side effects. Further studies are needed to assess add-on melatonin’s long-term effectiveness and safety in children with drug-resistant epilepsy.
