Published: May 2024

Osobe koje su uključene u akademsku djelatnost tijekom razvoja karijere preuzimaju više profesionalnih uloga: nastavničku, upravljačku, istraživačku te pridonositelja društvu i zajednici. Za realizaciju svake navedene uloge osoba mora ovladati odgovarajućim skupom profesionalnih kompetencija koje čine kompetencijski profil te osobe. Profesionalna kompetencija određuje se kao dinamički sklop konceptualnih, proceduralnih i činjeničnih znanja, kognitivnih i praktičnih vještina te uvjerenja i vrijednosti, čija primjena u odgovarajućem akademskom kontekstu omogućuje učinkovito djelovanje. Odgovarajući skup profesionalnih kompetencija čini kompetencijski profil profesionalne uloge. Trenutačno su u profesionalnom (vojnom) obrazovanju u Republici Hrvatskoj prisutne tri profesije: vojna, civilno-vojna i civilna profesija. Cilj i svrha ovoga rada jest dokazati potrebu za kreiranjem kompetencijskog profila civilno-vojne profesije u Republici Hrvatskoj. Autori će u radu predložiti model kompetencijskog profila civilno-vojne profesije koji će poslužiti za razvoj kvalitete Sveučilišta obrane i sigurnosti „Dr. Franjo Tuđman“.
Nabava oružja radi osobne
sigurnosti
Authors: Ljubić Dinko
Published: May 2024

Osobna sigurnost jedno je od temeljnih ljudskih prava, a u posebnim okolnostima, odnosno specifičnim situacijama kada država, kao nositelj monopola legalne fizičke prisile putem svojih institucija ne može građanima u dovoljnoj mjeri omogućiti osobnu sigurnost, daje im mogućnost nabave vatrenog oružja kako bi ostvarili zadovoljavajući stupanj osobne sigurnosti. Rad je tematski podijeljen na uvodne napomene u kojima se iznose neki osnovni problemi i pitanja, središnje dijelove u kojima se obrađuju posebnosti nabave i posjedovanja oružja, analiziraju opravdani razlozi za nabavu oružja radi osobne sigurnosti, kao i sam pojam osobne sigurnosti s posebnim osvrtom na kaznenopravne institute nužne obrane i krajnje nužde te na osposobljavanje građana za pravilnu uporabu oružja, kao i na zaključna razmatranja. Cilj je rada, komparirajući prethodno važeće i aktualne propise, kao i sudsku praksu utvrditi smjer kretanja (liberalizacija, odnosno pooštravanje) propisa, koji reguliraju posjedovanje oružja radi osobne sigurnosti te pritom detektirati propuste, nelogičnosti, odnosno pravne praznine i dati prijedloge za njihovo uklanjanje.
De reza para mau olhado à dissertação de mestrado
Authors: Souza Jadnaelson da Silva
Published: May 2024

Este trabalho propõe uma reflexão sobre o papel crucial da religião na configuração dos arranjos sócio-históricos do Brasil, particularmente no Sertão Nordestino. Com foco no Catolicismo Popular sertanejo (SOUZA, 2023; NEVES, 2019; SILVA, 2019; OLIVEIRA, 2019; CRUZ, 2010), a pesquisa é conduzida a partir da perspectiva da autoetnografia (SANTOS, 2017; ADAMS; JONES; ELLIS, 2015), partindo da minha experiência pessoal para a descrição da experiência comunitária de acesso ao Sagrado, a partir dessa forma de exercício da fé. O foco do trabalho está na descrição e reflexão sobre a prática do Catolicismo Popular, especialmente por meio da atuação das rezadeiras (SOUZA; SANTOS, 2021; MORAIS, 2011; MAIOR, 1998) e do culto às Santas Populares Maria e Augustinha (SOUZA, 2023). As reflexões evidenciaram a centralidade da religião na estrutura social do território habitado/estudado, ressaltando a contínua presença e fortalecimento do Catolicismo Popular sertanejo, construído a partir dos conhecimentos indígenas e negros. Dentro desse contexto, o estudo proporciona insights valiosos sobre a dinâmica única do Catolicismo Popular sertanejo, destacando sua influência na vida cotidiana das comunidades locais. Essa abordagem, ancorada na experiência pessoal do autor, contribui para uma compreensão mais aprofundada da interação entre religião, cultura e identidade no contexto específico do Sertão Nordestino brasileiro.

Viral hepatitis is concentrated in populations with low healthcare system engagement, including non-white, rural, non-English speaking, and low socioeconomic status persons. Recruiting these participants for clinical trials has immense implications for trial feasibility and generalizability. Through the example of a trial delivering a behavioral intervention to patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a network of medical student-run clinics, we describe the implementation of a student-run HCV testing program in the community and describe novel strategies to improve the recruitment of hard-to-reach participants using medical student counselors and electronic consents.
A Novel Target Biomarker could be Galectin-3 for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration?
Authors: Kilic Guven , Alpay Merve
Published: May 2024

The process of disc degeneration represents an abnormal, cell-mediated response leading to progressive structural failure. A degenerated disc is one with structural breakdown accelerated or accompanied by signs of advanced aging. It tends to exhibit degenerative and aging changes earlier than other connective tissues in the body. Given the relationship between back pain and disc degeneration, it\'s considered clinically significant. The roles of Galectin-3 in brain development, within glial cells, and their interaction with other neural and invading cells in pathological conditions have been observed. Successful nerve regeneration via functional repair involves both internal and external factors such as neurons\' ability to rebuild axons, support for axonal growth, and accessible target tissues for re-innervation. The study evaluated the role of Galectin protein in tissue regeneration and its potential as a diagnostic marker in Lumbar Herniated Disc degeneration. It was conducted on a total of 50 individuals, including 29 LD trauma cases and 21 healthy subjects, at the Brain Surgery Clinic. Assessing the expression of two molecules in Lumbar disc degeneration, no significant difference was found in resistin levels between groups (p=0.853), whereas Galectin levels were significantly different between the Control and LD (Lumbar disc) groups (p<0.001). Galectin protein secretion was found to be higher in the LD group compared to the control group. Early assessment of Galectin protein could p

Exploring the Relationship Among Service Satisfaction, Motivation and Purchase Intention in Malaysia’s Online Banking
Authors: Wong Kok Yaw
Published: May 2024

Customer satisfaction plays a vital role in service marketing, especially for online banking, due to the advancement of technology and the ease of online banking transactions. Recent studies have found that consumer motivation is crucial in capturing customer value and trust. Consumer motivation will affect consumer purchase intention. However, the scarcity of empirical evidence has inspired researchers to examine the relationship between consumer motivation, perceived service satisfaction, and purchase intention simultaneously in Malaysian online banking. Thus, the role of service satisfaction as a mediating variable in the relationship between consumer motivation (information influences, consumption patterns, and consumer involvement) and purchase intention was discussed in this paper. Data were collected from 250 online banking users through a self-directed questionnaire. All the data has been analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Findings confirmed the significant relationship between consumer motivation, perceived service satisfaction, and purchase intention. The results also indicated that perceived service satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between consumer motivation and purchase intention. Managerial implications were provided to guide online banking service providers on effective ways to retain their users through consumer motivation.

Authors: Osman Suraiya , Ab. Rahman Suhaimi , Abu Bakar Elistina , Mohd Safian Yasmin Hanani
Published: May 2024

The vast number of Muslim consumers in Malaysia, which accounts for 63.5% of the total Malaysian population, offers a vast market segment to food producers—the food producers employ various marketing strategies to compete in the market. Among the strategies employed is the use of Islamic attributes in marketing activities. Food product marketers used Islamic attributes such as Muslim names, pictures, emblems, Quranic verses, and Hadith in their marketing campaigns. The free use of the Islamic attributes has drawn attention to knowing the Islamic perspective of the use. Through in-depth interviews, this research paper aimed to reveal the views of 7 Shariah experts in a rich and contextualized account of using Islamic attributes in food product marketing. The experts were selected through purposive and snowball sampling methods. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data, which resulted in the emergence of six themes in this study. These themes include (1) protection of Islamic honor and dignity, (2) prohibition of using Islam for personal gain, (3) prohibition of unjust practices, (4) prohibition of superstitious or syirik acts, (5) promotion of good business practices, and (6) promotion of a healthy diet, revealing the Islamic perspective on its use. This study contributes knowledge to Islamic marketing and the rulings on using Islamic attributes according to the Shariah principle. This research sheds light on the ethical implications of using Islamic attributes in scholarly and marketing domains. Further, this research explores the triangulation method of data analysis and validity via Shariah and socio-research.

Authors: Jaafar Hartini , Ismail Rosmini , Abdul Halim Hazianti , Basri Mohd Faizal
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of financial literacy, financial stress, financial management practices, saving behaviour, household size and income adequacy, on Malaysian female millennials’ retirement preparedness. A total of 268 questionnaires were self-administered and collected from Malaysian female millennials residing and working in the Klang Valley aged between 26 to 41 years old using a purposive stratified sampling method. Regression analyses were performed using SPSS software to determine the influence of variables investigated on retirement preparedness. Findings indicate that financial literacy level (β = 0.154, t-statistic = 2.669), financial stress level (β = 0.108, t-statistic = 2.207), saving behaviour (β = 0.281, t-statistic = 5.713) and household size (β = 0.242, t-statistic = 2.616), have significant positive effects on retirement preparedness. Income adequacy (β = – 0.298, t-statistic = – 2.595) on the other hand, is significantly and negatively associated with retirement preparedness, while financial management practices are found to have no influence. This study contributes to extant literature by examining the increasingly significant segment of the working population in our country. Hence, our findings should provide more insights to interested stakeholders in designing new or improving existing financial planning programs or mechanisms, particularly those related to retirement to better promote sound retirement planning among Malaysian female millennials.
Exploratory Factor Analysis on Acceptance of Artificial Intelligence as Online Healthcare Product Sales Advisor Among Consumers of Guardian Pharmaceutical Outlets in Malaysia
Authors: Md Darus Faridah , Tan Peck-Leong , Md Yusop Hamidah
Published: May 2024

Switching from human to artificial intelligence (AI) as online health sales advisors significantly impact sales. AI has been shown to influence customer purchases and adapt quickly to changes in online retail. While AI enhances efficiency and personalisation in sales, it also introduces ethical dilemmas, such as job loss and bias, alongside consumer scepticism about its accuracy and trustworthiness. Integrating AI into pharmacy practices demands a deep understanding of its effects on pharmacists’ roles, signaling a significant shift in healthcare delivery. This study aims to explore and confirm the seven Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 1 (UTAUT1) construct as a robust framework that can be utilized in the consumer acceptance of AI technologies in healthcare retail settings. The participants in the study were patrons of the Guardian Pharmacy in the Klang Valley region. The research team modified 46 questions from an earlier study, employing a dual translation method that involved translating the questionnaire from English to Malay and then back to English to better align with the demographics of the study group. The experts assessed and authenticated these revised statements to ensure their relevance and accuracy, focusing on content and appearance authenticity. The study analyzed and confirmed 103 responses using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) technique. The EFA results indicated that each construct’s items were grouped into one component with factor loading higher than 0.6, with the total variance explained ranging from 69% to 90% and overall internal reliability of 0.944. This study enriches existing knowledge by validating the UTAUT1 framework as a robust framework in assessing consumer acceptance towards AI integration in healthcare sales, marking a significant shift in healthcare delivery and underscoring the need for a nuanced understanding of AI’s implications on pharmacists’ roles amidst ethical and consumer.

Authors: Agustinus Suradi  , Sri Purwati  , Muhammad Zakaria  , Rezky Nurbakti  , Fahrina Mustafa
Published: May 2024

The goal of this research is to determine whether company parties have implemented engagement strategies in the current digital context. This research uses a qualitative marketing research approach. We used a digital platform for the initial data collection stage. The analysis then continued with the creation of a textual corpus. A deep understanding of consumer engagement with brands can help companies build stronger relationships with consumers, create greater value for brands, and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. By paying attention to emotional, cognitive, and behavioral dimensions, companies can develop more holistic and effective strategies for managing consumer engagement and strengthening their brand positioning. Research results reveal that consumers actively seek knowledge and information to enhance their decision-making about brands and products. Mobile telecoms have well-implemented Customer Brand Engagement strategies, but they also need to have a proactive approach in dialogue with customers to maintain their engagement. This means that in addition to understanding and responding to consumer needs and desires, companies also need to be proactive in communicating with customers to strengthen their relationship and engagement with the brand. According to a careful analysis of the lexical units in cluster one, the majority come from Twitter. Cluster two highlights the comparisons that consumers make regarding the technical characteristics of products and services with those of various competitors. Meanwhile, cluster three shows that consumers are increasingly looking for personal services that can meet their needs. Cluster four warns management about loss phenomena that are specific to certain areas or regions. Finally, Cluster Five allows management to understand that consumers are currently less involved in innovative services such as payments via smartphone.

Ensuring Compliance Integrity in AI ML Cloud Environments: The Role of Data Guardianship
Authors: Ghosh Samadrita
Published: May 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become ubiquitous across various industries, including security, healthcare, finance, and national defense. However, alongside its transformative potential, there has been a concerning rise in malicious exploitation of AI capabilities. Simultaneously, the rapid advancement of cloud computing technology has led to the emergence of cloud-based AI systems. Unfortunately, vulnerabilities inherent in cloud infrastructure also pose security risks to AI services. We recognize the critical role of maintaining the integrity of training data, as any compromise therein directly impacts the effectiveness of AI systems. In response to this challenge, we emphasize the paramount importance of preserving data integrity within AI systems. To address this need, we propose a data integrity architecture guided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework. Leveraging blockchain technology and smart contracts presents a suitable solution for addressing integrity challenges, given their features of shared and decentralized ledgers. Smart contracts enable automated policy enforcement, facilitate continuous monitoring of data integrity, and help mitigate the risk of data tampering.

Board Diversity and Governance Outcomes of State Corporations in Kenya
Authors: Nzulwa Joyce Daudi , Omondi Mary Nzasu Musyoka
Published: May 2024

Boards play a critical leadership role in good governance of Kenya’s state corporations, which exit by law to deliver effectual services to the citizenry. The sector has since independence undergone various reforms aimed at continuous improvement, mitigating inherent challenges and to deliver efficient service. In 2015, the Government of Kenya upscaled its governance architecture by sanctioning a governance code. Despite this endeavour, the state corporation’s    ecosystem has recorded unimpressive outcomes on the corporate governance front. This study sought to establish the relationship between board diversity and governance outcomes of state corporations in Kenya. A descriptive survey design was used on a target population of 138 state corporations and a simple random sampling technique used to draw a 20% study sample, amounting to 28 state corporations. The study collected primary data using a structured questionnaire. A drop and pick method were used to administer the questionnaire to three respondents from each sampled state corporation upon consideration and application of accruing research protocols. The data collection instrument was pretested prior to the actual data collection to check reliability and validity upon which the emergent issues were corrected and instrumentation enhanced. The collected data was analysed using simple regression analysis vide SPSS version 21. The findings have been presented using tables. The study established a significant positive relationship between board diversity and inclusion and governance outcomes of state corporations in Kenya and concluded that board diversity and inclusion is a key driver of corporate governance outcomes. The study recommended that firms should mainstream diversity and inclusion in order to drive sustainable advantage in boards as a tool to effective leadership and governance. Future studies may be undertaken in the private sector for contextual comparability
Islamic Educational Psychology: The Urgency In Islamic Religious Education Learning
Authors: Mahfud Heru Fatoni  , Siti Rohimah  , Baron Santoso  , Hamid Syarifuddin
Published: May 2024

This research aims to reveal the important role of Islamic educational psychology in the Islamic Religious Education learning process. The method used is library research which involves collecting information and data by utilizing various materials available in the library, such as reference books, articles, journals and other relevant documents related to the topic being researched. From the research results, it is concluded that Islamic educational psychology plays an important role in learning Islamic religious education because of the interactive dynamics between teachers and students during the learning process. Without the knowledge of Islamic educational psychology in every learning process, it is certain that learning objectives will not be achieved optimally and the learning process will be ineffective. Furthermore, Islamic religious education involves instilling and strengthening the principles of faith which serve as a spiritual basis. A person's entire being is shaped by the teachings of the Islamic religion, and every attitude and behavior is influenced by his faith.

Published: May 2024

Tourist satisfaction serves as a crucial indicator of successful tourism development. It is imperative for managers to periodically assess the tourism facilities to gauge the destinations' quality through the visitors' perspective. Therefore, this study endeavors to assess the level of tourist satisfaction regarding the tourism facilities at Slili Beach. A total of 100 respondents participated in the questionnaire, which was subsequently analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods. The findings revealed that tourists exhibited dissatisfaction with public toilet facilities and trash bins, with percentages of 42.25% and 38.75%, respectively. Conversely, tourists expressed contentment with rest area facilities, parking, and places of worship, with percentages of 51.34%, 47.71%, and 45.5%, respectively. However, the availability of disabled facilities left 61.5% of tourists significantly dissatisfied. These findings underscore the need for managers to address the discrepancies between tourists' expectations and the actual offerings at Slili Beach. Consequently, there is a pressing need for managers to enhance the quality of tourism facilities to ensure and bolster tourist satisfaction. Furthermore, future research endeavors could explore the correlation between tourist satisfaction and the inclination to revisit, providing managers with compelling reasons to continually improve the quality of facilities at marine tourism destinations.

The primary purpose of this research is to acquire a profound comprehension of the impacts of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on the operations of firms and on society as a whole, with Pakistan serving as the focal point of the research. This study's objective is to determine whether or not there is a moderating effect of CEO power on the relationships that exist between CSR, ownership concentration, and efficient business practices. In-depth research has been conducted on fifty different non-financial enterprises in Pakistan to see how well they performed before, during, and after the Covid-19 Pandemic. On the data that has been gathered, descriptive statistics and regression analysis have been carried out with the assistance of SPSS. The research found that in the middle of the Covid-19 outbreak in Pakistan, the degree of authority held by CEOs had a major impact on the dynamics of the economy. The authority of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has a significant impact on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the performance of an organization. Even in a developing country like Pakistan, the present study highlights the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the positive influence it may have on the bottom line of a firm. The purpose of this study is to investigate the beneficial benefits that corporate social responsibility (CSR) has on society, with a particular emphasis on emerging countries such as Pakistan. This research serves as a useful guide by emphasising how important CSR is for linking together the success of businesses and the well-being of the society in which they operate.

In the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration and project management efficiency (PME), a comprehensive research study has been conducted, primarily focusing on various industries in Pakistan. The intricate interplay between AI integration, team proficiency in AI, organizational support for AI technologies, and PME forms the crux of this investigation. The theoretical underpinning of this research has been rooted in the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. Data for this study have been collected through a structured questionnaire survey, targeting a diverse group comprising project managers, IT managers, senior executives, and other key personnel engaged in AI-driven decision support systems. The research has revealed significant positive correlations between the integration of AI, team proficiency in AI, organizational support for these technologies, and PME. These findings highlight the crucial role these elements play in enhancing project outcomes. This study, by uncovering these relationships, offers valuable insights for organizations aiming to optimize their project management practices, especially in emerging economies like Pakistan. It contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing a nuanced understanding of how AI integration can be leveraged to enhance project management efficiency. Furthermore, the study discusses broader implications for policy and suggests directions for future research, emphasizing the strategic importance of nurturing AI competencies and fostering organizational support for AI technologies to realize enhanced project management outcomes.
Research Status of Friction Interface Evolution Mechanism of Non-magnetic Steel
Authors: Xue Tiantian
Published: May 2024

The non-magnetic drill pipe (composed of male and female thread joints and rod bodies) is the key component of the directional drilling technology equipment for gas extraction in coal mine tunnels. The thread joint and the drill pipe body are connected by continuous drive friction welding. In the study, it was found that the banded structure appeared in the joint of continuous drive friction welding of non-magnetic steel, which reduced the strength of drill pipe. At the same time, it is found that the heat flow mode is one of the key factors affecting the banded structure, and the heat flow mode is based on the evolution of the interface plastic ring. In this paper, through the review of the research status of the interface evolution law of non-magnetic steel continuous drive friction welding, the experimental method for the study of the interface evolution law of non-magnetic steel continuous drive friction welding is found.

Published: May 2024

Background:We sought to find the patients’ views about the way preoperative informed consent (IC) was taken at MuhammadMedical College Hospital (MMCH) Mirpurkhas.Methodology/Principal Finding:100 patients, who had operation 5-10 days ago under General Anaesthesia (GA) were randomly chosen atMMCH. The patients who were seriously ill or who underwent a perioperative complication were excluded. Allpatients were aged 16 or above. They were requested to fill in a questionnaire (in Urdu and Sindhi) and thosewho could not fill the questionnaire were helped by the authors.Results:The patients were chosen from General Surgical Ward (62), Orthopaedic Ward (31) and Gynaecology Ward (7).There were 50 male and 50 female patients, operated by 8 different surgeons and anaesthetized by 4 anaesthetists. The mean age of patients was 38 years. Though 74 patients admitted meeting the surgeon preoperatively,only 56 had met the anaesthetist. 84 patients informed that the consent was taken by the House Officer (51) orthe Nurses (34).Conclusions:Despite the small sample size that do not permit to draw any firm conclusions, results indicate that preoperatively, very few patients get a chance to have their condition/ operation explained by the Surgeon and Anesthetist.

Background: Water pollution is one of the major threats to public health in Pakistan. Worldwide, around one billion people lackaccess to safe water supply, and two million annual deaths are attributed to unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene. Drinking water quality is poorly managed and monitored. Drinking water sources, both surface andgroundwater are contaminated with coliforms, toxic metals and pesticides throughout the country. The drinkingwater quality parameters set by the WHO are frequently violated.Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the concentrations of various pollutants in drinking waterin Taluka Sehwan, Sindh; and disseminate information for the control of community health hazardsMaterial and Methods: The drinking water samples were collected from 36 randomly selected water sourcesfrom the villages of four union councils of Taluka Sehwan as per standard procedure. These samples were transported to Water Testing & Surveillance Laboratory, Department of Community Medicine, Liaquat University ofMedical & Health Sciences, Jamshoro, Sindh and were assessed for physico-chemical parameters like turbidity,pH, EC (Electro Conductivity), salinity, TDS (Total Dissolved Salts), arsenic and chlorides. The water sampleswere also analyzed for the presence of fecal bacteria.Results: The turbidity of 28 out of 36samples was within permissible limits of NSDWQ/WHO. The EC of onlythree samples was within the permissible limits; and TDS of 32 samples was above the permissible limits. All pHvalues were in standard range i.e. 6.5 to 8.5. Arsenic was found higher than permissible limits in six samples; andChlorides were within the Pak/ WHO criteria of only four samples. Eight samples contained unacceptable numberof coliform.Conclusion: Drinking water of the surveyed areas was found contaminated with arsenic, chlorides, TDS, andwith coliform bacteria due to improper disposal of sewage and excessive application of fertilizers. The quality ofdrinking water was below the required standards, hence unfit for human consumption.Keywords: Water Contamination, Drinking Water, Unsafe Water, Health Impacts.
