AN INVESTIGATION OF MACROECONOMIC FACTORS ON NON-PERFORMING LOANS: A STUDY BASED ON COMMERCIAL BANKS OF PAKISTAN
Authors: Maryam Qureshi, Tooba Hashmi
Published: December 2023

Following privatisation, Pakistan's banking industry grew and is now one of the main drivers of the country's economy. Nonetheless, the sector is vulnerable to a number of hazards, the most important of which is credit risk. This risk appears when borrowers fail to make their loan payments on schedule, which leads to non-performing loans. In order to maintain their operational, liquidity, and profitability position, banks must manage these loans. This study looks into how the nation's economic circumstances, inflation, and interest rates affect non performing loans. Time-series data analysis is used, and secondary data covering the last ten years (2008–2017) is used. The study looks at the link between the independent and dependent variables using a multivariate linear regression model. Non-performing loans are the dependent variable, whereas interest rates, inflation, and the nation's economic status (as indicated by GDP) are the independent factors. The study found that the non-performing loans of Pakistani commercial banks are significantly influenced by all three variables. On the other hand, there is an inverse relationship between inflation, GDP, and NPL, whereas there is a direct association between interest rates and NPL. The study's findings will assist Pakistan's banking industry in lowering the percentage of non performing loans.
UNVEILING THE HIDDEN LINK: HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND VOTER TURNOUT IN BALOCHISTAN, PAKISTAN
Authors: Waqar Ali Babar Ali, Haider Ali,
Published: December 2023

The province of Balochistan in Pakistan provides an intriguing opportunity to analyze the complex correlation between human development and voter engagement. This study aims to determine if there is a direct relationship between the Human Development Index (HDI) and voter turnout in Balochistan. The study utilizes a quantitative research approach, analyzing data from the Human Development Index (HDI) and voter participation records for districts in Balochistan, Pakistan. The HDI data was acquired from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), whilst the voter turnout data was gathered from the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). The study's findings indicate no direct correlation between HDI and voter turnout. Some districts with low Human Development Index (HDI) values have a high voter turnout, whereas, on the other hand, certain districts with high HDI values have a low voter turnout. These findings indicate that other factors beyond HDI substantially influence voter turnout in Balochistan. Further research would be helpful to thoroughly understand the intricate relationship between HDI and voter turnout in Balochistan. These research efforts have the potential to find strategies that can increase voter turnout in the province.
«Our Town» and its «End»: an intertextual journey between the worlds of T. Wilder and D. Hatzis
Authors: Сатдарова А.А.
Published: December 2023

Сопоставление произведения-источника интертекста и произведения-реципиента интертекста расширяет возможности для интерпретации последнего. Осветив тему взаимосвязи текста «Το τέλος της μικρής μας πόλης» Д. Хадзиса и «Нашего городка» Т. Уайлдера, мы получили более точное представление о логике построения сюжетов, выстраивания системы персонажей, формирования образа нарратора, пространственно-временного плана произведения, тематического и смыслового наполнения сборника.

The title of the book «Το τέλος της μικρής μας πόλης» by D. Hatzis suggests a vague reference to the title of another literary work — «Our Town» by T. Wilder. Reading the book, we try to understand if there is any reason to assume that these works are related, and perhaps conclude that this is just a coincidence. However, the narrator interrupts the process of figuring out and exposes his intention in the short story «Ο ντέτεκτιβ», directly making reference to the play by T. Wilder, and even speaking to the writer himself. As in the story itself, the clue that promises a sense of relief only raises new questions. The manifestations of intertextuality are always evidence of permeability of boundaries of the world of the literary work. Testing this boundary is one of D. Hadzis’s regular artistic purposes, so references to other literary works are quite frequent in his work. The use of intertext in «Το τέλος της μικρής μας πόλης», background at first glance, nevertheless reaches into the foundations of the world of literary work, creating many interconnections at all levels: plot, genre, composition.

Microarray Cancer Data Classification using Deep LearningMethods
Authors: Sharath Kumar Y .H. Narayan Naik,
Published: December 2023

A proposal is made in this paper regarding the deep feed-forward neural network for the microarray binary dataset’s classification. We have used eight binary class standard datasets of microarray cancer used the purpose of validating the suggested approach, specifically cancers of the brain, colon, prostate, leukemia, ovary, lung-Harvard2, lung-Michigan, and breast.In addition, six multiclass microarray datasets namely 3-class Leukemia, 4-class Leukemia,4-class SRBCT, 3-class MLL, 5-class Lung cancer and 11-class Tumor are alsoconsidered.To come out with curse of dimensionality, the method for reducing dimensionality is PCA in binary class dataset’s case. We have crafted architecture of neural network which is fully connected, configuring its parameters with sigmoid initialization for network's input and hidden layer. This includes specifying the number of epochs, batch sizes, and selecting appropriate activation functions. The suggested method's multiclass behavior is made possible by initializing the activation function SoftMax to the output layer. The min-max approach is used for featurescaling.To compute the magnitude of error of the method,binary cross-entropy, and categorical cross-entropy are used on the binary and multi-class datasets and the ADAM optimizer is for optimization.A study is conducted to compare the suggested approach with the most advanced techniques available. According to experimental findings on these common microarray datasets and comparisons with the most advanced technique, the suggested method's performance is quite respectable.
Modelling and Optimizing CSP-PV Hybrid Systems Using the Hybrid Optimization and Performance Platform (HOPP)
Authors: Hamilton William , Martinek Janna , Cox John , Newman Alexandra
Published: December 2023

The hybridization of concentrating solar power (CSP) with thermal energy storage (TES), photovoltaics (PV), and electrochemical battery energy storage systems (BESS) has the potential to provide continuous, high-capacity-factor energy production at a lower cost than a PV-BESS or CSP with TES alone. Because of the system complexity of CSP technology, it is challenging to evaluate the technological and financial performance of a CSP-PV hybrid system without detailed modeling of annual operations. To address this challenge, we have developed a modeling framework for evaluating the performance and financial viability of CSP systems hybridized with PV and BESS technologies. This modeling effort incorporates CSP tower and trough configurations into an existing modeling tool recently developed by NREL, the Hybrid Optimization and Performance Platform (HOPP). This paper provides a brief overview of our methodology, as well as an example case study. CSP with TES hybridized with PV provides the best benefit-to-cost ratio compared to the other simulated technology combinations. However, for the conditions considered, this configuration only increases the benefit-to-cost ratio by about 1% compared to the CSP with TES configuration. The PV-BESS system provides the lowest benefit-to-cost ratio compared to the other configurations explored because of the relatively low capacity credit received by the system.

When saying no is not an option: Forced marriage in Australia and New Zealand
Authors: Lyneham Samantha , Bricknell Samantha
Published: December 2023

Australia is one of a small number of countries to criminalise forced marriage, introduced into the Criminal Code 1995 in 2013 as a slavery-like practice. However, unlike other nations where forced marriage is a criminal offence, there has been little formal examination of the nature and context of forced marriage in Australia and the consequences (positive and negative) of criminalising this practice. This report uses interviews with victim/survivors of forced marriage, community members and government and non-government stakeholders in Australia and New Zealand (where forced marriage is not criminalised) to describe the perceptions and realities of forced marriage, including the circumstances of the marriage, experiences of victim/survivors while married and their help-seeking behaviours, and post-marriage support and consequences. It also examines the course of intervention adopted in Australia to respond to forced marriage and the cultural challenges to these interventions.
Organised crime research in Australia 2018
Authors: Smith Russell
Published: December 2023

Organised crime and its transnational dimension is a persistent threat with the very real potential to undermine the rule of law and the security of Australia. In 2016, the Australian Institute of Criminology and the Australian National University established the Organised Crime Research Forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from around the country to present and discuss their work. The purpose of the Forum was to raise the profile of a pressing global and domestic crime problem and to forge research partnerships between law enforcement agencies and the university sector. This collection of papers, presented at the second national Organised Crime Research Forum, draws on the insights and experiences of organised crime researchers to contribute to the evidence base needed to adapt and develop ever more effective responses to the threat of organised crime.

Authors:   Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Varela González José Antonio , Bande Vilela Belén ,   Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Del Río Araújo M. Luisa ,   Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Fernández Ferrín Pilar ,   Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU)
Published: December 2023

This study analyzes the relationship between cross-functional integration and new product performance in a sample of Spanish innovative firms. Managers' perceptions in R&D, marketing, manufacturing and other areas show that the lack of management support for integration and the physical distance between areas are significant barriers to cross-functional integration. Besides, managers perceive that cross-functional integration relates to new product programme performance. Our results support most of the proposed hypothesis and are coherent with previous studies. Some implications of this study and directions for future research are also addressed.

Consumer's trust in Internet shopping: a modelling proposal based on the standard learning hierarchy
Authors:   Universidad de Granada, Martínez López Francisco J. , Ortigueira Sánchez Manuel ,   Universidad de Sevilla, Pérez Ronchel Mario ,   Universidad de Sevilla
Published: December 2023

This paper is placed on the framework of studies focused on analyzing the consumers' buying behaviour on the Internet. We have based on adapting the hierarchy-of-effects model (standard learning hierarchy), in order to theoretically propose a conceptual model explaining how consumers' beliefs i.e. design, interaction speed, social benefits, and privacy and attitudes toward the Internet as a communication medium can be plausible determinants of trusting in Internet shopping. Furthermore, our model poses that consumers' overall opinions regarding with in-home shopping might also exert an influence on their evaluations about the Internet as a communication medium and, specially, as a shopping medium. The proposed conceptual model is supported by a deep and specific literature review. The relationships contained in the model have been estimated by means of structural equation modelling. Results confirm that this approach based on the cognitive information processing is valid to model consumers' shopping behaviour on the Internet. Finally, several academic reflections, as well as a set of managerial implications based on the questions analyzed, are put forward.
Current perspectives on the management of lateral pelvic lymph nodes in rectal cancer
Authors: Chua Jonathan Yu Jin , Ngu James Chi Yong , Teo Nan Zun
Published: December 2023

Significant controversies exist with regards to the optimal management of lateral pelvic lymph nodes metastases (mLLN) in patients with low rectal cancer. The differing views held by Japanese and Western clinicians on the management of mLLN have been well documented. However, the adequacy of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) or neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NACRT) alone in addition to total mesorectal excision (TME) have recently come into question, due to the relatively high incidence of lateral local recurrences following PLND and TME, or NACRT and TME alone. Recently, a more selective approach to PLND has been suggested, involving a combination of neoadjuvant therapy, followed by PLND only to patients in whom the oncological benefit is likely to outweigh the risk of potential adverse events. A number of studies have attempted to retrospectively identify certain nodal characteristics on preoperative imaging, such as nodal size, appearance, and size reduction following neoadjuvant therapy. However, no consensus has been reached regarding the optimal criteria for a selective approach to PLND, partly due to the heterogeneity and retrospective nature of most of these studies. This review aims to provide an overview of recent evidence with regards to the diagnostic challenges, considerations for, and outcomes of the current management strategies for mLLN in rectal cancer patients.

Authors: Giard Vincent
Published: December 2023

Cet article met en lumière l'influence de diverses perspectives intellectuelles sur l'approche intégrative et la transformation du management de la chaîne logistique (CL). Plusieurs articles de la RFGI reflètent cette évolution, dont trois ont été choisis pour illustrer le rôle de la revue dans la diffusion de nouvelles pratiques managériales. Le courant du reengineering préconise la simplification des processus pour résoudre les problèmes de coordination liés à la complexité croissante des techniques de gestion, tandis que l'analyse systémique promeut une approche holistique en remettant en question l'efficacité des modèles analytiques. Le concept d'alignement souligne l'importance de la cohérence verticale et horizontale entre les niveaux hiérarchiques et les entités de production. Les articles sélectionnés explorent des thèmes tels que l'intégration, la simplification des processus, la réactivité, les risques liés à la focalisation excessive sur l'efficacité locale, et la mutualisation logistique entre entreprises de réseaux contractuels, mettant en évidence deux formes d’alignement : verticale et horizontale.
Maximizing the value of a volunteer: A novel method for prioritizing humanitarian VGI activities
Authors: Watkinson Kirsty , Huck Jonathan , Harris Angela
Published: December 2023

As a consequence of their reliance on a scarce volunteer resource, humanitarian mapping organizations must prioritize their mapping activities. For mapping in anticipation of a crisis or mapping in support of long-term crises, the only method available to organizations is an estimation of the "completeness" of the map, with organizations directing volunteers to map areas where data are missing. Whilst this method is suitable for organizations that focus on general map improvement, for those who create data for a specific reason (e.g., drinking water provision) the method is sub-optimal. In this article, we present a new method of humanitarian mapping prioritization, that considers the purpose of map data collection. The method identifies locations where contributions by volunteers are expected to have the biggest impact on the desired use of the map data and therefore maximizes the value gained from volunteer contributions. We explain our method using the example of measuring distance to healthcare and demonstrate its superior ability to consider the context of map data over generic estimations of map "completeness". Our method provides humanitarian mapping organizations with an easily reproducible and low cost method and an opportunity to make better informed decisions about mapping prioritization, when the purpose of map data collection is known. Using our method, organizations will be able to maximize the value gained from a scarce volunteer resource and increase the efficiency of humanitarian map data production.
An Interdisciplinary Review on The Culture of Sacred Time in The Context of Social Learning
Authors: İDER Saadet
Published: December 2023

The coexistence of religion and culture emerges in folk beliefs at sacred times. Sacred times play a mediating role between God and his believers. The endeavour to access the Sacred Being results in the productivity of human beings and cultural heritage. Religious references on sacred time are associated with the behaviours of people and enable the emergence of many cultural elements. The representation of the Sacred over time creates "the culture of sacred time" unique to each society. Cultural practices in different forms at sacred times contribute to the acquisition of religious feelings and behaviours in religious education. The study aims to reveal the contribution of the culture of sacred time to the development of behaviour through social learning in religious education. Since the phenomenon of sacred time is a common problem in folklore and religious sciences, the study is carried out by interdisciplinary approach. The method of the study is systematic literature review on the resources of both disciplines. The study reveals the contribution of the culture of sacred time to the development of religious behaviours through Bandura's social learning theory and Vygotsky's cognitive development theory.
Editorial. The hard, but rewarding, work of collaborating across sectors - dance in cross-sectoral educational collaborations
Authors: Østern Tone Pernille , Karlsen Kristine Høeg , Bjørnstad Gunhild Brænne
Published: December 2023

This special issue is motivated by a firm belief that cross-sectoral educational collaborations are needed and have value. In response to the recognised gap in research addressing the possibilities and challenges inherent in cross-sectoral educational collaborations, we initiated this special issue. We invited research contributions focusing on dance within cross-sectoral educational collaborations, encompassing schools, teacher education institutions, and other formal or informal educational institutions as the contextual backdrop.
As we initiated the special issue, we pondered around a myriad of questions: how do teachers, teacher educators, and/or teacher candidates organise, develop, implement, and carry out collaborations with external choreographers, professional dancers, and/or dance teachers? How do collaborative planning, pre-workshops among participants, or other preparatory actions before the actual school, teacher education, or other educational institution practice support transformational mutuality? How and why do obstacles, friction, and tension arise, and how are they solved in dance in cross-sectoral educational collaborations? Furthermore, how might dance in cross-sectoral educational collaborations critically challenge stereotypical views on knowledge or uneven power distribution among participants in different positions in cross-sectoral collaborations? How do collaborations with other arts fields influence, support, or complicate dance in cross-sectoral educational collaborations? Additionally, we contemplated the integration of dance and technology in cross-sectoral educational collaborations and how these two domains can complement each other. The eight peer-reviewed articles included in the special issue touch on and contribute knowledge in response to these, and more, questions.
We warmly invite readers to actively immerse themselves in these articles, as each presents a unique viewpoint and profound insights into the complex landscape of dance in cross-sectoral educational collaborations. In doing so, we hope to ignite a passion for this important topic, inspiring transformative and collaborative approaches to dance education.
Gamete Space Colonization: Why Space Colonization Based on Gametes Is Morally Preferable to Colonization Based on Embryos
Authors: Balistreri Maurizio
Published: December 2023

Embryo space colonization is one of the solutions that have been proposed to minimize the existential risk that, in the coming centuries, the human species will undergo irreversible extinction. This type of solution involves sending cryopreserved human embryos into space on board a spaceship entirely guided by intelligent machines tasked with identifying and finding the most suitable planet for human colonization within the solar system or another stellar system. The goal is not to assess the feasibility of this project, but rather to consider whether the use of human gametes would constitute a more ethical solution. It will be argued that, all else being equal, sending gametes instead of embryos into space presents at least three advantages. First, it makes it possible to have a more genetically diverse range of human embryos available, facilitating the selection of genetically better embryos for colonizing the new planet. In addition, producing embryos ad hoc from gametes allows improving the genetic characteristics of embryos without resorting to genome editing, which could present safety issues. Finally, gamete space colonization does not eliminate but reduces the possibility that the designers’ biases influence the selection of embryos.
Wendy Mitchell as an Epitome of a Posthuman Subject
Authors: Ganesan Niranjana , Gopalakrishnan Bhuvaneswari
Published: December 2023

Memories work through encoding, processing, consolidation, and retrieval, as well as absence and interruptions. The retrospective and anticipatory activity of the brain accounts for continuity in human life. Any cognitive impairment in the brain disrupts this process and alters the order of things. L. Malafouris suggested that cognition exists not in the brain but in interaction with the material world, and different forms of material culture enable these cognitive capacities and processes or change them over different periods. This vital, enactive, and constitutive quality of material things/technology in shaping the memory, and consequently the human subject, is investigated in the epiphanic memory narrative of Wendy Mitchell’s Somebody I Used to Know. This article foregrounds the optimistic essence of a posthuman subject through Wendy Mitchell’s life, as well as how technologically mediated relations are foundational for the construction of life. It reflects on the postanthropocentric view of the world by demonstrating how dementia narratives are critical for comprehending the material/technological world’s role in the formation of life.

İstanbul’da Müttefikler Arası İşgal Yönetimi
Authors: BOZKURT Abdurrahman
Published: December 2023

"The economic problems, political and military conditions faced towards the end of World War I caused the Ottoman Empire to sign the Armistice of Mudros. The Armistice of Mudros allowed the Straits to be opened and the fortifications to be occupied by Allied Powers. On 13 November 1918, British Empire, France and Italy violated the Armistice of Mudros and occupied Istanbul. The Tevfik Pasha Government, which was shocked and protested against the occupation, tried to meet the demands of the Allied forces for accommodation, food and supplies. However, these demands continued to increase. Aiming to completely disperse the Ottoman army and seize the military supplies and navy, the Allied High Commissioners confiscated the assets of the Central Powers citizens who had to leave Istanbul. Allied citizens, on the other hand, enjoyed special financial and commercial privileges, even though the Capitulations were abolished. Due to the special privileges provided to them by the occupation administration, the minorities broke their ties with the Ottoman Empire and confronted both the government and the Muslim population. The Mixed Armistice Commission, which was established to solve the problems arising from the implementation of the Armistice of Mudros, lost its function as it came under the control of the Allies. The inter-allied occupation administration, which was established and organized by the British, French and Italian High Commissioners and Generals, tried to direct the Ottoman Government and the Sultan with their directives. In this respect, the occupation administration of Istanbul carried out actions incompatible with the essence, philosophy and provisions of the armistice. The inter-allied occupation administration seized ports, railways, and postal, telegraph and radio services in Istanbul. The inter-Allied occupation administration, which established its own police force, courts and prisons, enforced visas for travel, and tried to silence the press with censorship, ended with Turkey's ratification of the Treaty of Lausanne."

Este documento presenta una primera caracterización de las empresas receptoras de los fondos del programa Next Generation EU (NGEU) desde el comienzo del mismo y hasta abril de 2023. Las empresas adjudicatarias de licitaciones asociadas al NGEU presentan un mayor tamaño, una mayor productividad y unas mejores condiciones de acceso a la financiación bancaria, tanto respecto a las empresas no adjudicatarias de licitaciones públicas como respecto a las empresas adjudicatarias de otras licitaciones no vinculadas al NGEU. Sin embargo, en el caso de las subvenciones, las empresas beneficiarias de subvenciones asociadas al NGEU son, en términos generales, más pequeñas que las empresas beneficiarias de otras subvenciones públicas no vinculadas al NGEU.
Çay Bitkisinin Kentsel Yeşil Alanlarda Kullanımı: Rize İli Ziraat Botanik Parkı Çay Bahçesi Uygulaması

Published: December 2023

Rize kenti ile özdeşleşmiş olan ve kente ekonomik, kültürel ve turistik açıdan fayda sağlayan çay bitkisinin peyzaj değerinin ön plana çıkarılması ve bu bitkinin kentsel yeşil alanlarda peyzaj amaçlı kullanımının arttırılmasının teşvik edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda peyzaj tasarımı ve uygulaması ile çay tarımının ve kültürünün tanıtımının yapıldığı turistik bir cazibe alanı oluşturmak hedeflenmiştir. Çalışma alanı olarak seçilen Rize ili kent merkezinde yer alan Ziraat Botanik Parkı yerleşkesi içerisinde yer alan 4 dönümlük alan örnek bir çay bahçesi şeklinde tasarlanmış ve uygulaması yapılmıştır. Yapılan bu proje ile çay bitkisinin yalnızca ekonomik ve tarımsal amaçlarla değil bitkisel tasarımın ana kriterleri olan renk, doku, form ve çizgi gibi estetik ve tasarımsal değerleri ile de ön plana çıkarılan bir peyzaj ögesi olarak kullanılmasına olanak sağlanmıştır. Çalışma alanında yapılan incelemelerle kültürel ve doğal veriler toplanarak tasarım modeli oluşturulmuştur. Oluşturulan model geliştirilip detaylandırılmış alana ait yapısal ve bitkisel plan çizimleri üretilmiştir. Geliştirilen bu planlar üç boyutlu görsellere dönüştürülmüş, alanın uygulama sonrası görünümüne yakın görseller elde edilmiştir. Tasarım sürecinde alanda bir çay bahçesinin taşıdığı karakteristik özelliklerin yanı sıra çay bitkisinin peyzaj mimarlığı için değer taşıyan alternatif kullanımlarının bulunduğu mekânların tasarlanmasına da önem verilmiştir. Yapılan projelendirme ve çizim sürecinin sonunda uygulama süreci başlamıştır. Proje bu anlamda ulusal çapta çay bahçelerinin kentsel alanda peyzaj amaçlı kullanıldığı ve çay tarımının dikimden hasat sürecine kadar her yönüyle deneyimlenebildiği en kapsamlı projelerden biri olacaktır. Proje sonucunda ise çay bitkisinin peyzaj değeri ortaya koyularak, kente ekonomik ve estetik anlamda değer kazandırması hedeflenmektedir.

Authors: Silva Anderson Gonçalves da , Santos Rodiney Marcelo Braga dos
Published: December 2023

Education consists of the exercise of citizenship, therefore a right for everyone, therefore the school curriculum must be inclusive. This work seeks to present a proposal for an accessible educational product, in the form of a board game, in light of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and that addresses the theme “financial education”. To this end, exploratory research was carried out, with a qualitative approach and bibliographic procedure. At first, the research presents the principles and guidelines of the UDL approach that aims to minimize barriers and expand equality of opportunities in the face of an inclusive school curriculum. Next, the planning of the aforementioned board game is presented, entitled “Game of life: structuring monthly finances”, capable of working on fundamental concepts of financial education and guided by the principles of UDL.
