Authors: Hossain M. M. , Alam M. Maksudul
Published: July 2024

A series of experiments were conducted to find out the best dimension combination of the 4-hole type Traditional chula with the aim of obtaining maximum heat utilisation efficiency (HUE). Four dimension parameters were considered in the experiment, such as, hearth diameter, hearth height, mouth diameter and hole area. The effect of these parameters on the HUE was also tested statistically. Experiments were carried out on 4 different sizes of chula. Dimension combination was found different for different sizes of chula at maximum efficiency. Maximum HUE was 21.55, 21.54, 25.05 and 24.4% for the hearth diameter of 180, 220, 260 and 300 mm respectively.

Published: July 2024

This study investigates the intricate relationships among spoilers (SP), word of mouth (WOM), genre (GEN), viewer engagement (VE), producer response (PR), advertising (AD), and viewership (VS) within the entertainment industry. Utilizing SmartPLS 4.0 for data analysis, we examined fourteen hypotheses through a cross-sectional, survey-based methodology with a sample size of 425 participants. Results reveal that SP and WOM significantly impact VE and PR, highlighting their importance in shaping viewer experiences and producer actions. Genre also plays a crucial role, influencing both VE and PR. Mediation analyses show that VE and PR significantly affect VS, with VE through AD enhancing VS, while PR through AD does not. However, WOM’s impact on VS via PR is not supported. These findings align with previous research but also reveal new insights into the differential impacts of producer responses and advertising on viewership. The study's limitations include its focus on specific content types, cross-sectional data, and potential biases in self-reported measures. Recommendations for future research include exploring diverse content types, conducting longitudinal studies, and incorporating external factors like marketing and social media trends. The study provides actionable insights for content creators and marketers to enhance viewer engagement and loyalty through strategic use of spoilers, word of mouth, and genre-specific approaches.

Adaptation In Knowledge Transfer Within MNC Subsidiary Episodes
Authors: Alias Jamsari , Mat Norazila
Published: July 2024

With the advent of multinational corporations (MNCs), it is more important than ever to understand how parent companies oversee their subsidiaries' activities and transfer knowledge to them. Japanese corporations have led the way in this field, employing approaches such as the Toyota Production System (TPS) to transfer the Japanese manufacturing ethos while maintaining quality and control in their international operations. While much has been said about the process of transferring Japanese manufacturing capabilities, little is understood about how these processes. Thus, a complete qualitative investigation was done in the Japanese multinational's subsidiary, which included three significant manufacturing initiatives (or philosophies): "TPS," "TPM," and "TS." Case data were acquired using 52 in-depth interviews with project participants, documentation, and moderate-participant observations. Using the subsidiary's procedures, forming the complete process, and, most importantly, utilizing and developing episodes in snapshots to comprehend the process, we gain a better grasp of knowledge transfer. This article further elaborates how adaptation is a major element in episodic knowledge transfer.

Authors: Kanapi-Villanueva Ma. Erika Luis , Campoamor-Olegario Lizamarie
Published: July 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic caused physical schools to close, leading to a sudden shift to remote learning. This transition posed a significant challenge, as the course designs and strategies were initially designed for face-to-face settings. Despite efforts to provide quality education to all students during the pandemic, children with academic difficulties faced limited support. As a result, the responsibility for teaching fell on the parents and other family members, as students were bound to stay at home. Thus, the purpose of this case study is to describe the roles, experiences, and challenges of the nine parents of children with academic difficulties while engaging in their child’s remote learning during the sudden shift. Semi-structured interviews, online class observations, and focus group discussions were conducted via videoconferencing. The data gathered during the lockdown were thematically analyzed. The findings of this study revealed five primary types of parental involvement within this setting: (1) providing for their child’s needs, (2) organizing space and time, (3) motivating and monitoring the child’s behavior, (4) instructing technology and lesson-related problems and (5) adapting the lessons. Despite the challenges, parents have gone above and beyond to provide their children with the necessary resources and support for remote learning. This study also suggests relevant implications and recommendations for educators and policymakers.

Published: July 2024

The increasing interest in the subject of management of foreign exchange exposure in Nigeria has been the sequel to the rising transactional, translational and economic risks experienced in the country. Thus, concerns for the incessant devaluation of the naira (increasing foreign exchange rate) continued to mount, explaining the main objective of this study - in attempting to evaluate the most suitable and effective measures and techniques for the management of foreign exchange rate exposures, while attempting to demonstrate the relationship between foreign exchange rate exposures and the economic growth of a developing country like Nigeria. Expo-facto design was deployed for this study. Regression analysis, descriptive statistics, residual statistics, Collinearity Diagnostics and Durbin-Watson were the techniques used to analyze data and examine the relationship between the two major variables of the study. The yearly highest foreign exchange rates (Nigerian Naira to a US dollar) – as at the official market; and the yearly average of the quarterly GDP of Nigeria, constituted the datasets, for the period 2019 – 2023 respectively. The study found that a statistical and significant relationship exists between foreign exchange exposure and economic growth. The study concludes that better exposure mitigation could be achieved with efficient use of hedging measures (currency forwards, currency option currency futures, cross-currency swaps, or even ‘natural’ hedging).

Authors: Shamim Dr. Kamruzzaman

This article is focused on the political impact of the six-points on the independent war of Bangladesh. The Pakistan state was created in 1947 on the basis of biracialism by the Lahore resolution. The Bengal called this time East Pakistan, got its independence under West Pakistan. Although the Lahore resolution called for provincial autonomy, autonomy was not established in the East Pakistan. The ruling class of West Pakistan began oppression, exploitation and deprivation upon the people of Bengal which lasted two decades. As a result, administrative, social, political and economic disparities appeared between East and West Pakistan. The people of Bengal were outraged against the disparities, exploitation and oppression. The movement began everywhere of East Pakistan demanding political autonomy and economic equality.
The Awami League under the leadership of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman played a vital role in this movement. On 5-6 February, 1966, a conference of the opposition was held in Lahore. Sheikh Mujib submitted to the subject committee six-points to include the issue in the agenda of conference. The proposal was rejected by the committee and Awami League under leadership of Sheikh Mujib boycotted the conference. Later Bangabandhu announced historical six points in a press conference. The inhabitant of East Pakistan received the six-points as a charter of freedom from disparities. They became united under the leadership of Bangabandhu and raised their sound for achieving the autonomy. But West Pakistan ruling class did not fulfill the demand of East Pakistan leaders. As a result, it turned to the movement of independence of Bengal from West Pakistan day by day. So six-points are considered a milestone on the road to Bangladesh's independence. This study tries to find out political impact of six-points which played a leading role to turn the movement into a struggle of independence.

Authors: Deliana Dian
Published: July 2024

Perlis has extraordinary natural wealth with green rice fields, stunning mountains, and rich biodiversity. This indicates great potential for ecotourism development in this area. The aim of this research is to explore ecotourism strategies in Perlis Malaysia to become one of the main destinations in Malaysia for sustainable ecotourism. This research adopts a qualitative method that places the researcher as the main instrument, carries out triangulation techniques for data collection, and applies inductive analysis. The research results show that cross-institutional collaboration is key to optimizing the tourism potential of the Perlis ecotourism area, creating positive effects for the local community and the tourism industry as a whole. The availability of amenities and public facilities in the Perlis ecotourism area is still not optimal, and promotion plays a crucial role in introducing, convincing, and maintaining interest in certain tourist products or destinations. In this case, the use of effective promotional media is the key to increasing the popularity and public awareness of Perlis ecotourism. Promotional strategies must take into account variations in audience interests and utilize various marketing tools, such as advertising, face-to-face sales, and publicity, to achieve optimal marketing goals.

Forecasting the Unemployment Rate in the Philippines using Box-Jenkins Methodology: Advancing Economic Strategies for Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Pono Joemarie ,   Sultan Kudarat State University
Published: July 2024

Unemployment remains a critical macroeconomic issue in Southeast Asia, significantly impacting the Philippines. This study aims to forecast the unemployment rate in the Philippines using ARIMA models to inform policy decisions and economic planning. The study utilized ARMA model for time series forecasting, leveraging past values and error terms to predict future data points. The methodology involved identifying suitable models through stationarity tests and autocorrelation analyses, estimating model parameters, and conducting diagnostic checks to ensure accuracy. Finally, the models were used to forecast future values and compute confidence intervals, providing insights into potential future trends. Monthly unemployment data from 2019 to 2023 was analyzed using the ARIMA (1,1,0) model, selected for its optimal fit based on statistical criteria. Initial findings indicated non-stationary unemployment data, necessitating first differencing to achieve stationarity. The ARIMA (1,1,0) model showed robustness, evidenced by diagnostic checks and Portmanteau test results confirming white noise residuals. Forecasts from 2024 to 2050 suggest fluctuating unemployment rates until 2034, followed by a gradual decline, indicating potential economic growth and improved labor market conditions. These forecasts align with the broader goal of sustainable economic development and highlight the importance of strategic policy interventions to foster job creation and economic stability in the Philippines. The study highlights the efficacy of ARIMA models in capturing unemployment trends and aiding policymakers in mitigating the socio-economic impacts of unemployment.
Perceived Organizational Support, Job Satisfaction, and Turnover Intention among Selected BPO Employees in Metro Manila: Basis for a Proposed Employee Retention Program
Authors: Tamundong Jerome ,   University of Santo Tomas, Caballero Rosalia ,   University of Santo Tomas
Published: July 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of perceived organizational support on job satisfaction and turnover intention among selected BPO employees in Metro Manila using a quantitative approach through descriptive and predictive research design. The data were collected from 403 BPO employees who were chosen purposively using a researcher-made demographic questionnaire and standardized questionnaires. All collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through Path Analysis. Findings revealed that there is a significant positive effect of perceived organizational support on job satisfaction, while there is a significant negative effect of perceived organizational support on turnover intention, and likewise, a significant negative effect of job satisfaction on turnover intention. This implies that when employees find their organization supportive and caring, it leads to an increased level of job satisfaction and a decreased level of turnover intention; while when employees find their job satisfying and fulfilling, it leads to a decreased level of turnover intention. The findings were utilized as basis in creating a proposed employee retention program which may help leaders and HR practitioners implement and communicate stronger organizational support designed to retain key talent that is crucial to achieving targeted business outcomes.

limites do capitalismo no espaço e no tempo:
Authors: Leite Leonardo de Magalhães
Published: July 2024

Pretendo mostrar que a exposição de Marx no Livro I de O capital conecta os limites da sociedade moderna tanto no espaço quanto no tempo, isto é, conecta mercado mundial e revolução. Ademais, sugiro que essa conexão revela a classe trabalhadora como um todo, necessariamente em nível mundial, como o sujeito social com o potencial de abolir o capital. Para isso, analiso a teoria de Marx em O capital cotejando-a com outros textos do autor.
Processos de generificação e racialização nas políticas públicas de bem-estar social:
Authors: Alencar Thiago Romão de
Published: July 2024

Esse artigo aborda a inserção das mulheres trabalhadoras na estrutura de bem-estar social através de um panorama histórico das políticas sociais desenvolvidas no Reino Unido desde o início do século XX. A partir da análise de algumas dessas políticas, discuto os critérios que as estruturavam e a interação entre classe, gênero e raça na redefinição que o Estado de Bem-Estar impôs às relações familiares, à cidadania e à noção de trabalho assalariado, tendo como pano de fundo algumas perguntas em mente: qual a relação dessa expressiva fração da classe trabalhadora com os benefícios do Estado de Bem-Estar britânico? O que a lógica de tais políticas ocultava e ao mesmo tempo reforçava? A partir das críticas feministas e da teoria da reprodução social à obra clássica de Esping-Andersen, mostro como o Estado de Bem-Estar no Reino Unido serviu para fortalecer determinados papeis sociais de gênero nesta sociedade.
Para um entendimento realista d’O engenhoso fidalgo D. Quixote de La Mancha
Authors: Álvaro Martins
Published: July 2024

Este trabalho constitui o produto de um estudo sobre apreciação teórica da obra mais conhecida de Miguel de Cervantes, e seu objetivo é formular uma base para uma interpretação marxista e realista desse romance. Para isso, em primeiro lugar, examinamos algumas correntes interpretativas importantes em circulação, apontando alguns de seus limites conforme os critérios dessa própria bibliografia. Na sequência apresentamos um referencial teórico literário a partir de obras de Antônio Cândido e György Lukács. Por fim, defendemos uma diretriz de interpretação a partir de Marx e da obra tardia de Lukács que procura não corromper o sentido original da obra e, ainda assim, tirar consequências importantes para a contemporaneidade.
Contribuições da Teoria da Reprodução Social para o Debate Contemporâneo sobre as Opressões
Authors: Fonseca Rhaysa
Published: July 2024

Este artigo apresenta uma breve reconstrução da história e do que considera as principais contribuições da Teoria da Reprodução Social (TRS) para o debate contemporâneo sobre as múltiplas relações de opressão – como gênero, raça e classe – no capitalismo. Embora a perspectiva feminista-marxista da reprodução social tenha uma história mais antiga, por TRS compreende-se o recém-formado campo de diálogo liderado por Tithi Bhattacharya, e pelas autoras que subscrevem o manifesto internacionalista Feminismo para os 99%, publicado no Brasil em março de 2019. Este conforma hoje um dos setores mais pulsantes e críticos do movimento feminista mundial, e tem em seu centro o objetivo de desenvolver uma compreensão unitária das relações de opressão, exploração e alienação que compõem a realidade social no mundo em que vivemos. Tal compreensão tem em seu centro um resgate da noção de totalidade social tal qual desenvolvida por Karl Marx nos Grundrisse.
David Harvey: mercadoria, capital, capital de empréstimo e capital fictício
Authors: Araujo Paulo Henrique Furtado de
Published: July 2024

O artigo apresenta criticamente a compreensão de David Harvey sobre a obra O capital de Marx, destacando, em particular, a forma como o autor trata das categorias mercadoria, capital, capital de empréstimo e capital fictício. Ressalta que Harvey atribui a Marx a construção de um modelo gnosiológico sem compreender que Marx instaura uma ontologia materialista do ser social. Além disso Harvey, ao não perceber que valor é uma forma de mediação social produtora de fetiche, acaba por alternar seu entendimento de fetiche como algo próprio do mundo do capital e algo de falsa consciência ou engano sobre o mundo real. Por fim, ao tratar de capital de empréstimo e capital fictício e utilizar aquele enquadramento de modelo e essa compreensão de fetiche, termina por não apreender adequadamente o capital fictício e identificar uma insuficiência explicativa no suposto modelo de Marx.
Value Lang Edit Predictors of Attitudes towards Abortion in Lebanese Females
Authors:   , Mneimneh Lara
Published: July 2024

Despite the fact that abortion has been pronounced as a reproductive right for women, it still is illegal in Lebanon and in many other Arab countries. This study investigated three possible predictors of attitudes towards abortion in a group of Lebanese females: the religious orientation of the participant, the political idealization of the participant, and the feminist attitude of the participant. In addition, the study proposed an explanation of the relationship between these variables based on the System Justification Theory. This quantitative study followed a correlational design and the survey was administered through a questionnaire to a purposive convenience sample. The study used four instruments: Krauss & Hood’s (2013) Circumplex Religious Orientation Inventory (CROI); Duckitt et al.’s (2010) Conservatism and Traditionalism scales from the Authoritarianism – Conservatism – Traditionalism (ACT) model; Morgan’s (1996) Liberal Feminist Attitude and Ideology Scale; and Taylor & Whitehead’s Abortion Attitude Scale. The study predicted that 1) a high level of a committed/ unreflective religious orientation, that a high level of conservatism and that a low level of feminism will predict criminalizing attitudes towards abortion; 2) Feminist attitudes will predict attitudes towards abortion more strongly than both religious orientation and conservative political idealization in Lebanese females; 3) Lower levels of education in the participants will negatively predict attitudes towards abortion in Lebanese females; 4) Having an unemployed mother will negatively predict attitudes towards abortion in Lebanese females. The study tested these hypotheses using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (version 25) and the statistical tests ran were a standard multiple regression and two independent-samples T-Tests. The statistical analyses showed support for the first hypothesis only. The other three hypotheses were rejected. Hence, the study showed that attitudes towards abortion are affected by many predictors including religious orientations, political idealizations, and feminist attitudes. Future studies can try to replicate this study and target its limitation by choosing a larger sample size, a random sample that is more representative of Lebanese women, and a counterbalanced survey that controls for order and carryover effects.
The Relation between Coping Styles and Posttraumatic Stress and Growth among Lebanese Nurses
Authors:   , Sarkis Elie
Published: July 2024

A coping style is the type of strategy used to reactively manage emotional distress in response to a stressor (Xiong et al., 2020). Coping style can be adaptive, whereby appropriate approaches are employed, or maladaptive, whereby unhealthy, or harmful methods are used (Lazarus & Folkman, 1986). Coping styles have been studied in relation to posttraumatic outcomes including post-traumatic stress (PTS) and growth (PTG), and many other predictors. However, recent events including the eruption of the COVID-19 pandemic and the August 4th explosion in Beirut have called for investigation of these models among Lebanese nurses. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of coping styles on posttraumatic growth and stress models among 130 nurses in Lebanon while moderating for the effect of proximity to the traumatic events. A study with a cross sectional design using 3 tools to measure PTS, PTG and coping styles were respectively PCL5, PTGI and BRIEF COPE .Results showed that only avoidant coping style was a significant positive predictor of PTS. Seeking social support and problem-solving coping styles were revealed to be significant predictors of PTG. The findings of this study can be used to empower nurse education programs and clinical interventions to shift their approach to dealing with trauma among this population by focusing more on posttraumatic growth (PTG).
Predictors of Psychological Well-being in Lebanese Gay Men
Authors:   , Kleit Hussein
Published: July 2024

Lebanon has been a focal point of ongoing discussions and debates in the MENA region surrounding gay rights and well-being. Globally, studies on the psychological well-being of gay individuals have shifted from traditional models focusing on stressors and pathological outcomes to positive psychology frameworks examining the predictors of strength and resilience in the community. This study aimed to examine authenticity, outness, community connectedness, and self-compassion as predictors of psychological well-being among Lebanese gay men using a quantitative, correlational, and non-experimental design. A sample of (N=105 ) Lebanese gay men filled an online survey that included a demographic sheet along with the Outness Inventory (Mohr and Fassinger, 2000), LGB authenticity subscale of the LGB Positive Identity Measure (Riggle et al., 2014), Community Connectedness Scale (Frost and Meyer., 2012), Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (Neff, 2003b), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff and Keyes., 1995). Consistent with the study hypotheses, multiple regression analysis revealed that authenticity, outness, and self-compassion were significant predictors of psychological well-being. On the other hand, community connectedness did not appear as predictor of psychological well-being nor did it mediate the relationship between outness and well-being. Similarly, moderation analysis using regression analysis indicated that self-compassion did not significantly moderate the relationship between outness and psychological well-being in contrast to the study’s hypothesis. Future studies are encouraged to replicate this study and target its limitations by selecting a larger sample size with a diverse population and to consider intrapersonal factors like authenticity and self-compassion in models targeting the well-being of Lebanese gay men.
Omental Implantation, Mesenteric Defect, and Bilateral Ovarian Cysts Post Salpingectomy for Ruptured Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy
Authors: Sharan Tripti , Khetan Keerti
Published: July 2024

This study describes a rare case of omental implantation of gestational tissue with a mesenteric defect in an intestinal segment and large bilateral multiseptate clear ovarian cysts in a 31-year-old patient who presented 32 days after laparoscopic salpingectomy for a ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy, manifesting with acute abdomen. The patient underwent partial omentectomy, bilateral ovarian cystectomy, and segmental intestinal resection with side-to-side anastomosis. Serial β-HCG monitoring post-partial omentectomy revealed a rapid decline, confirming successful removal of trophoblastic tissue. Histopathological examination confirmed omental pregnancy. This case underscores the importance of caution during laparoscopic procedures to prevent omental implantation, advocating for meticulous extraction of trophoblastic tissue, preferably using a tissue retrieval bag, and diligent postoperative monitoring with serial β-HCG assays to ensure complete resolution.
Research Methodology and Biostatistics Series II - Quality of Medical Research
Authors: Indrayan Abhaya
Published: July 2024

Medical research has mushroomed, and concerns are expressed regarding the quality of such voluminous research output. Among several factors, the quality can be substantially improved by effective control ofuncertainties that severely afflict the reliability and validity of all empirical research. Uncertainty is an endemic affliction of human activity, and medical research is particularly susceptible. Two primary types of medical uncertainties are aleatory and epistemic. The former is inherent due to biological, environmental, and other natural variations, and the latter arises mostly from knowledge gaps. Biostatistical methods are equipped to handle sampling fluctuations that are a source of a major part of the aleatory uncertainties. Tools such as scoring systems, aetiology diagrams, and expert systems can help to reduce some types of epistemic uncertainties. Proper choice of research toolsremains crucial for controlling most epistemics.

Authors: MG Narahari
Published: July 2024

Scorpion bites are common in India. Usually harmless, some scorpion bites do develop serious systemic complications such as myocardial infarction, pulmonary oedema, myocarditis, cerebrovascular accidents. These complications are rare and seldom reported. First is a case of acute myocarditis and pulmonary oedema following scorpion bite; second is a case of acute haemorrhagic stroke and tachyarrhythmia following scorpion bite. The authors report these two cases of fatal complications of scorpion sting that illustrates the brief review of literature on its clinical presentation and emergency resuscitation.
From instance generation to parallel computing : insights on implementing an on-demand transportation system
Authors:   , Queiroz Michell
Published: July 2024

On-demand public transportation operates without fixed routes and schedules, dynamically adjusting to passenger-provided information about locations and destinations. These systems address the limitations of traditional public transportation, which often has limited coverage and inefficient vehicle use during off-peak hours, leading to resource waste and infrequent services. By contrast, on-demand transportation adapts more flexibly, reducing inconveniences such as prolonged waiting times and overcrowded vehicles. In this thesis, we focus on the optimization aspect of an on-demand public transportation system. To investigate optimization problems, it is crucial to simulate real-world scenarios, known as instances. One of the primary contributions of this thesis is the introduction of REQreate, a tool designed to generate realistic instances for on-demand transportation problems. We also address the Heterogeneous On-Demand Bus Routing Problem (H-ODBRP), aiming to minimize total user ride time by using a metaheuristic based on the Simulated Annealing framework. Finally, we introduce a parallel approach for large-scale H-ODBRP scenarios, demonstrating superior efficiency and solution quality compared to sequential algorithms.
Knowledge and Preventive Practices on Community-Acquired Pneumonia Among Residents in General Santos City
Authors: Dajay Jules Alexis
Published: July 2024

This descriptive-correlational study described the profile of respondents and determined the association between knowledge and preventive practices regarding Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) among residents in ten selected barangays in General Santos City. A validated self-made pen-and-paper test and survey questionnaire were used to determine the demographic profile, knowledge, and preventive practices on CAP among 300 respondents selected through quota sampling. The study revealed that most respondents were aged 41-50 years old, female, married, had an extended family structure, had reached the high school level, had an estimated monthly income of less than P 10,000.00, and had no family history of CAP. It was found that most respondents had very low knowledge about the diagnosis of the disease and a very low perception of rest/sleep and physical activity as significant preventive practices for CAP. A significant relationship between knowledge and preventive practices on CAP was identified. Therefore, it is necessary to intensify information, education, and communication (IEC) campaigns to improve awareness of CAP. The study suggests partnerships between public and private organizations to initiate, facilitate, and coordinate programs aimed at reducing CAP and providing training for the implementers of IEC campaigns. Additionally, a high level of healthy practices should be maintained and strengthened through various program interventions by allocating funds at city and barangay levels. Further research is recommended to determine the effects of demographic profiles on the knowledge and preventive practices of CAP.
Barong dan Rangda: Memaknai Sebuah Kearifan Lokal dari Budaya Bali
Authors: Ramadhani I Gusti Ngurah Aswin
Published: July 2024

One of the wellkown Balinese sacred art is 'Barong and Rangda' dance, which symbolises the two supernatural and complementary powers, namely the good and the evil, the white and the black, the right and the left. The writer argues that it actually has a very long history, an encounter and acculturation of various traditions, such as of the Javanese Hinduism, the Chinese culture, and the religious tradition and cosmology of the Balinese. If one wants to comprehend the Balinese way of life, he or she should have to understand these two supernatural powers which are basically complementary to each other.
