The recent rash of corporate scandals has become a widespread problem due to the huge impact on creditors, investors, and the general public. The design of this study uses quantitative research methodologies; data was gathered via questionnaires. The sampling process made use of the purposive sampling technique. 105 employees were included in the samples that met the study’s criteria. The findings of the study indicate a positive, significant relationship at the level of significance between accounting fraud, business size, professional integrity, professional skills, and ethical code of professional behaviour. The results of the study reveal that corporate crises emphasize how imperative it is to establish and enforce strong company norms that highly value morality and integrity. An established company code acts as a foundation for ethical behavior, reducing the chances of wrongdoing and fostering responsibility and openness. In an increasingly complicated business environment, professional bodies help to foster long-term success and sustainability by enhancing reputation and trust among stakeholders. Therefore, the present study concluded that businesses should give priority to establishing, implementing, and strictly enforcing good corporate codes of conduct that respect ethical behavior and integrity. For the employees at all levels to understand, accept, and adhere to the provisions contained in the corporate code of conduct, regular training, communication, and monitoring processes should be established. Professional ethics are a cornerstone of organisational culture that is required to overcome obstacles with resilience in building long-term success and stakeholder confidence in an increasingly ethical global economy.
Risky Riding Behaviors and Safety Challenges in Malaysia’s Gig Economy: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Abdullah Muhammad Safizal , Azmin Adi Anuar , Kassim Muhammad Asyraf Mohd
Published: January 2025

The rapid growth of the gig economy, particularly in Malaysia’s P-hailing sector, has brought with it significant safety challenges, as evidenced by the prevalence of risky riding behaviors among delivery riders. This review synthesizes findings from recent literature to identify key determinants of these behaviors, including individual factors such as impulsivity and emotional regulation, economic pressures tied to delivery quotas, and work environments shaped by algorithmic management. These challenges differ notably from those in other sectors of the gig economy, such as ride-hailing or freelance platforms. For instance, in ride-hailing, safety concerns often revolve around vehicle maintenance, passenger interactions, or route optimization, while freelance platforms prioritize data security and work-hour regulation. In contrast, P-hailing uniquely emphasizes high-speed navigation through dense traffic under stringent time constraints, highlighting the distinct operational pressures and safety implications within this sector. The implications of these behaviors are far-reaching, impacting public health, urban mobility, and platform ethics. High accident rates and environmental inefficiencies highlight the urgent need for intervention. To mitigate these challenges, this paper proposes a multifaceted strategy encompassing platform-level changes, such as algorithm redesign and rider incentives; policy-level reforms, including mandated rest periods and improved urban infrastructure; and technological advancements like AI-driven safety tools and drone deliveries. Despite these efforts, research gaps remain, particularly in understanding regional variations and long-term behavioral trends. Addressing these gaps through interdisciplinary and longitudinal studies is critical to fostering a safer and more sustainable gig economy. This review provides actionable insights for policymakers, gig platforms, and researchers aiming to enhance rider safety and operational efficiency.

Authors: Ge Peters , Be Moffat , Edidiong E Peters
Published: January 2025

This article seeks to review the economic importance of nursing care practice and its future role in health care delivery system in Nigeria. Nurses constitute a very critical segment of healthcare workforce in Nigeria and over the past decades, the economic importance of this critical segment has not been thoroughly evaluated. Nursing practice contributes a substantial portion to the gross domestic product (GDP) in health care delivery in Nigeria. It therefore becomes quite imperative that the economic contribution of nursing practice should be highlighted with a view of strengthening the perceived weakness and shortcomings of nursing practice in Nigeria. Moreover, the evaluation of nurses’ knowledge of health economics as a fundamental strategy that will enhance their level of productivity is advocated. This review article therefore essentially gives a general overview of the economic importance of nursing practice and further highlights their future role in the healthcare delivery system in Nigeria. This will enhance and emphasize the importance of nursing practice as a profession in Nigeria in particular, and the world in general.

A Comparative Study on Economic Growth and Bilateral Trade Dynamics between India and China
Authors: Sandhu Alka , Sakshi
Published: January 2025

This research paper attempts at analyzing bilateral trade and economic growth of India and China and explore future implications of their trade and economic cooperation. This paper examines the changes and major movements in the exports, imports, trade openness, and terms of trade and gross domestic product of both countries. Appropriate statistical methods are applied to obtain results which reveal that exports and imports of China are higher than India’s which has resulted in much better integration with the world economy for China as compared to India. The lack of significant difference in TOT implies a relatively balanced economic relationship. No significant difference in trade openness suggests that both countries are equally open to international trade. Significant difference is observed in the GDP and GDP growth over the time period under study. The large size of the economy and rapid growth shows that China has significantly scaled up its economy. Regarding bilateral trade, there has been substantial increase in bilateral exports and imports but a statistically significant difference is observed in their performance. India’s imports from China outperformed the exports from the country to China. This has resulted in trade imbalance and it is skewed in favor of China. Policy makers need to focus on other areas to improve bilateral trade such as infrastructure, reduction in barriers to trade, technology exchange, innovation, sustainable trade practices and diversification in types of goods traded.

Virtual work opened a whole lot of change when it came to the cybersecurity landscape. Technology has made many contributions to secure remote workplaces, but the human element has always been a targeted attack vector to mitigate cyber threats. This paper explores the influence of human behavior and cognitive biases on the vulnerabilities that affect remote work environments due to poor security decisions coming because of some particular biases and how the features of remote work amplify their effects. The paper also suggests appropriate techniques for organizations on how to tackle these issues through effective training, awareness programs, and by improving security policies. Understanding and mitigating the human factors involved in Cybersecurity would give organizations an edge in developing more secure and resilient remote work environments.
Factors Mitigating Against Women Participation in Computer Science in Borno State

Published: January 2025

Women's “second class” position in our society
necessitated their struggle for equality with men to enable
them survive in this changing society. Western education
has influenced some traditional practices of our society, so
much that the traditional ties of domestic responsibilities
such as running the homes do not bind the modern women.
The development of science and technology can make men
and women to become self-reliant and less dependent and
enable them to contribute meaningfully to the nation
building. The paper examines the concept of computer
science; the access of women to computer science; the role of
computer science knowledge in nation building; and the
factors mitigating against the active involvement of women
in computer science. Recommendations were suggested:
government should provide the necessary facilities needed
for the programme; Religious and Community leaders
should educate their members about the important of girl-
child(women) education in the family and nation building.;
They should also be enlightened about gender equality in
the society so that the preference of males over females
should be eliminated; In order to improve on the enrolment
of female children into school, government should
emphasis on the laws and policies that prohibit the removal
of female children from school and early/forced marriage.
So that they (women) can be equally represented with their
male counter parts in the discipline.

Published: January 2025

The study investigated social media political campaigns
and voting behaviour among electorate in Owerri
Municipal in the 2023 general elections. The study was
anchored on public sphere theory. Descriptive survey
research design was employed to sample opinion of the
electorate on social media and voting behaviour. The
population of the study comprised 134,169 registered
voters in Owerri Municipal A sample size of 399 was.
derived from the population using Taro Yamene sample
size calculator. Using the instrument of questionnaire, 378
copies of the questionnaire was returned and found valid.
Findings revealed that the electorate got exposed to social
media political campaigns during the 2023 general elections
extensively at 62.7%. Also, exposure to social media
political messages had little or no influence on the electorate
voting behaviour during the electioneering of the 2023
general elections (Average weighted mean score = 2.11).
Further findings indicated that other factors influencing
their voting behaviour are as follows: candidate's pedigree,
personality of candidate, manifestos of candidates,
senatorial district of the candidates, party loyalty and no
better choice of candidates (Average weighted mean score =
3.14). This implies that social media political campaigns
have little or nothing to do with the way the electorate in
Owerri Municipal voted in the 2023 general elections. The
researcher, therefore, recommend that the civil society
organisations should endeavour to organised trainings,
town-hall meetings, campaigns, grassroots advocacy,
community mobilisation, and sensitisation workshops on
regular basis in order to change the voting narrative in
Nigeria as they people no longer have trust again on these
politicians as such do not take information emanating from
them into action.
Research on Public Political Trust in Public Crisis Management in Laos
Authors: Vatsalaphone Sithileuxay
Published: January 2025

The public's trust in the government is related to its
legitimacy, social stability, and legal effectiveness.
As an objective result of the government's
administrative ability and an objective criterion for the
authority, democracy, and rule of law of government work,
government credibility also reflects the government's
service capacity to a certain extent. In recent years, with the
frequent occurrence of crises, many countries have faced
the dilemma of decreasing public trust in their
governments. After years of development, Laos has
achieved good progress in politics, economy, and society.
However, in the current context of economic globalization,
increasingly complex social environment, and continuous
deterioration of natural environment, public crisis events
have changed from occasional occurrences to frequent
occurrences, becoming an unavoidable problem for the
Laotian government in social management. “Crisis”
includes both risks and opportunities. If the government
can handle these crises well, it will also be an effective way
to enhance the government's image in the people's hearts
and enhance public trust in the government. Based on the
above, this article explores the issues of public behavior,
public trust in the government, and the reasons that lead to
these problems, and proposes relevant suggestions to
enhance the credibility of the Lao government. I hope it can
play a promoting role in improving the ability of the Lao
government to manage public crises.

Protective effect of caffeine against cyclophospha mide induced in vivo genotoxicity
Authors: G Prakash , A D Ingle , B B Hosetti
Published: January 2025

Cyclophosphamide is a DNA non-intercalating agent with wide application against several human neoplasms.  It is found that caffeine alters protection against cytogenotoxicity of different chemicals and physical mutagens  including cyclophosphamide. Modulation of the clastogenic induced effect of cyclophosphamide by three  different doses of caffeine (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg) was assessed through the chromosomal aberration and  mitotic index studies in bone marrow cells. Micronucleus level were decreased significantly (28.8%) in 100 mg  caffeine treated group at 30 h post treatment. Results revealed that caffeine decreased the cyclophosphamide  induced chromosomal aberration and mitotic index in bone marrow cells. In the present study, the percentage  of dividing cells were reduced more in the mice pre-treated with CAF at the dose rate of 100 mg/kg than  with lower doses of CAF in all the three anticancer drugs tested. Thus, CAF modulation is expected to play  an important role in the development of cancer chemotherapy. The protective effect of caffeine was found to  be dose dependent. However, further study on the mechanism of quenching of free radicals and induction of  apoptosis by caffeine are required to substantiate the results.

Published: January 2025

Sub-health centers, as the first point of contact between the community and the primary health care system, require adequate physical infrastructure to function effectively. According to the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS), each sub-center should have a designated building within the village, equipped with basic amenities such as electricity, water supply, and sanitation facilities. The building should include separate spaces for consultation, immunization, and storage of medical supplies. Adequate furniture and equipment are essential to ensure the smooth delivery of health services. Despite these guidelines, many sub-centers face challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and lack of continuous utilities, which hinder their ability to provide quality care

The Dramatised Landscape of Juktas : A Topoanalytic Approach to a Minoan Peak Sanctuary in Crete
Authors: Chountasi Maria
Published: January 2025

This chapter presents a discussion on the dramatised landscape of Juktas, providing a topoanalytic approach to a Minoan peak sanctuary in Crete. Chountasi’s argument lies in the fact that although there is an intensified pace in the current research on Minoan peak sanctuaries, in most cases, it either lacks a synthetic approach or its full extent of synthesis is exhausted on the criteria for identifying a peak sanctuary, thus employing passive approaches to the Cretan mountainous sacred landscape. From this, the chapter analyses the gaps in current research on Minoan peak sanctuaries and examines Bachelard’s phenomenological approach to landscape as a methodological tool for emphasising the active interaction between humans and their surrounding environment. The chapter concludes by showing that the sacred landscape constitutes a dynamic framework, a topos, where ritual performances are enacted, ordinary realities blur, participants’ inner and outer worlds fuse, and communities can integrate and transform concrete places, such as mountains.

DIREITO AMBIENTAL: UMA REVISÃO DA LEGISLAÇÃO BRASILEIRA E SUA IMPORTÂNCIA PARA A SOCIEDADE
Authors: Carvalho Robson Amparo de
Published: January 2025

Este artigo trata-se de um artigo de revisão literária com objetivo evidenciar a relevância da legislação ambiental no contexto brasileiro. O Brasil destaca-se como um exemplo global a ser seguido no que se refere às normas ambientais. A metodologia se baseou em revisão de leitura de artigos e leitura de leis federais e estaduais entendendo principalmente a hierarquia da legislação e aplicação. Registros históricos demonstram a existência das primeiras legislações ambientais desde os períodos coloniais e imperiais, criadas com o intuito de regulamentar a exploração de recursos naturais. Consideramos como marco na nossa legislação o artigo 225 da Constituição Federal de 1988 que dispõe que todos têm direito ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado, impondo ao poder público o dever de preservá-lo. Após a realização de revisão literária concluímos que o Brasil é um país importante no cenário global por ter uma legislação tão rica e robusta dentro do cenário ambiental.
DESAFIOS E POSSIBILIDADES DAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS NA FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE: CAMINHOS PARA UMA EDUCAÇÃO TRANSFORMADORA
Authors: Cotta Alexis dos Santos , Beuttenmuller Zailton Frederico , Alves Jose Jakson Amancio
Published: January 2025

A formação de professores no Brasil é influenciada por contextos políticos, sociais e históricos, desde a atuação jesuítica na educação colonial até a criação de políticas públicas contemporâneas. Avanços significativos, como a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases (LDB) de 1996, estabeleceram diretrizes para promover competências pedagógicas e articulação entre teoria e prática. Programas como o Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) e o Plano Nacional de Formação de Professores da Educação Básica (PARFOR) fomentam a valorização docente, embora desafios como precarização, desigualdades regionais e infraestrutura insuficiente persistam. A literatura destaca a relevância de uma formação crítica, defendida por autores como Paulo Freire, que propõem uma educação libertadora e centrada na justiça social. Além disso, estudos enfatizam a necessidade de formação continuada e o uso de tecnologias digitais para atender às demandas contemporâneas. No entanto, a implementação eficaz dessas iniciativas requer adaptação às realidades locais, especialmente em áreas rurais. Políticas públicas que promovam inclusão digital, redes colaborativas e habilidades socioemocionais são apontadas como soluções para superar desafios e fortalecer a identidade profissional docente. Assim, a integração de modelos internacionais bem-sucedidos, adaptados ao contexto brasileiro, é essencial para construir um sistema educacional mais equitativo e inclusivo.

Published: January 2025

Introdução: O Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) é uma condição neuropsiquiátrica comum, marcada por sintomas persistentes de desatenção, hiperatividade e impulsividade. Os tratamentos tradicionais, predominantemente baseados no uso de medicamentos, apresentam limitações e efeitos adversos, motivando a busca por abordagens terapêuticas integrativas. Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo revisar as evidências recentes sobre o uso de estratégias integrativas no manejo do TDAH. Métodos: Foi realizada uma busca sistemática em publicações científicas, entre 2004 e 2024, nas bases PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus e Scielo. Critérios de inclusão: Artigos originais e revisões nos idiomas inglês, português ou espanhol, que abordassem intervenções integrativas voltadas ao TDAH. Resultados e Discussão: Estratégias como dietas de eliminação, suplementação com ácidos graxos ômega-3 e micronutrientes demonstraram potencial na redução dos sintomas do transtorno. Técnicas como TCC, mindfulness e biofeedback mostraram eficácia na regulação emocional e no manejo dos sintomas.

Abstract. Volatile chemical products (VCPs) and other non-traditional anthropogenic sources, such as cooking, contribute substantially to the volatile organic compound (VOC) budget in urban areas, but their impact on ozone formation is less certain. This study employs Lagrangian box modeling and sensitivity analyses to evaluate ozone response to sector-specific VOC and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in two Los Angeles (LA) Basin cities during the summer of 2021. The model simulated the photochemical processing and transport of temporally and spatially gridded emissions from the FIVE-VCP-NEI17NRT inventory and accurately simulates the variability and magnitude of O3, NOx, and speciated VOCs in Pasadena, CA. VOC sensitivity analyses show that anthropogenic VOCs (AVOC) enhance the mean daily maximum 8 h average ozone in Pasadena by 13 ppb, whereas biogenic VOCs (BVOCs) contribute 9.4 ppb. Of the ozone influenced by AVOCs, VCPs represent the largest fraction at 45 %, while cooking and fossil fuel VOCs are comparable at 26 % and 29 %, respectively. NOx sensitivity analyses along trajectory paths indicate that the photochemical regime of ozone varies spatially and temporally. The modeled ozone response is primarily NOx-saturated across the dense urban core and during peak ozone production in Pasadena. Lowering the inventory emissions of NOx by 25 % moves Pasadena to NOx-limited chemistry during afternoon hours and shrinks the spatial extent of NOx saturation towards downtown LA. Further sensitivity analyses show that using VOCs represented by a separate state inventory requires steeper NOx reductions to transition to NOx sensitivity, further suggesting that accurately representing VOC reactivity in inventories is critical to determining the effectiveness of future NOx reduction policies.
Assessing the impacts of simulated ocean alkalinity enhancement on viability and growth of nearshore species of phytoplankton

Abstract. Over the past 250 years, atmospheric CO2 concentrations have risen steadily from 277 to 405 ppm, driving global climate change. In response, new tools are being developed to remove carbon from the atmosphere using negative emission technologies (NETs), in addition to reducing anthropogenic emissions. One proposed NET is ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE), in which artificially raising the alkalinity favours formation of bicarbonate from CO2, leading to a decrease in the partial pressure of CO2 in the water. Subsequent invasion of atmospheric CO2 results in net sequestration of atmospheric carbon. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of simulated OAE, through the alteration of pH, on phytoplankton representative of the spring and fall blooms in nearshore, temperate waters. The potential impacts of OAE were assessed through (1) an analysis of prior studies investigating the effects of elevated pH on phytoplankton growth rates and (2) an experimental assessment of the potential impact of short-term (10 min) and long-term (8 d) elevation of pH on the viability and subsequent growth rates of two representative nearshore species of phytoplankton. Viability was assessed with a modified serial dilution culture–most probable number assay. Chlorophyll a fluorescence was used to test for changes in photosynthetic competence and apparent growth rates. There were no significant impacts on the viability or growth rates of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana and the prymnesiophyte Diacronema lutheri (formerly Pavlova lutheri) with short-term (10 min) exposure to elevated pH. However, there was a significant decrease in growth rates with long-term (8 d) exposure to elevated pH. Short-term exposure is anticipated to more closely mirror the natural systems in which land-based OAE will be implemented because of system flushing and dilution. The analysis of prior studies indicates wide variability in the growth response to elevated pH within and between taxonomic groups, with about 50 % of species expected to not be impacted by the pH increase anticipated from unequilibrated mineral-based OAE. To the extent that the growth responses reflect (largely unreported) parallel reductions in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) availability, the susceptibility may be reduced for OAE in which CO2 ingassing is not prevented.

Abstract. The Devonian is a warmer-than-present geological period spanning from 419 to 359 million years ago (Ma) characterized by multiple identified ocean anoxic/hypoxic events. Despite decades of extensive investigation, no consensus has been reached regarding the drivers of these anoxic events. While growing geological evidence has demonstrated a temporal correlation between astronomical forcing and anoxia during this period, underlying physical mechanisms remain unknown, hence questioning causality. Here, we perform multiple sensitivity experiments, using an Earth system model of intermediate complexity (cGENIE), to isolate the influences of specific Devonian climate and palaeogeography components on ocean oxygen levels, contributing to the better understanding of the intricate interplay of factors preconditioning the ocean to anoxia. We quantify the impact of continental configuration, ocean–atmosphere biogeochemistry (global mean oceanic PO4 concentration and atmospheric pO2), climatic forcing (pCO2), and astronomical forcing on background oceanic circulation and oxygenation during the Devonian. Our results indicate that continental configuration is crucial for Devonian ocean anoxia, significantly influencing ocean circulation and oxygen levels while consistently modulating the effects of other Devonian climate components such as oceanic PO4 concentration, atmospheric pO2 and pCO2, and orbital forcing. The evolution of continental configuration provides a plausible explanation for the increased frequency of ocean anoxic events identified during the Middle and Late Devonian periods, as it contributed to the expansion of oxygen-depleted zones. Our simulations also show that both the decreased atmospheric pO2 and increased oceanic PO4 concentration exacerbate ocean anoxia, consistent with established knowledge. The variation of pCO2 reveals a wide range of ocean dynamics patterns, including stable oscillations, multiple convection cells, multistability, and hysteresis, all leading to significant variations of the ocean oxygen levels and therefore strongly impacting the preconditioning of the ocean to anoxia. Furthermore, multistability and important hysteresis (particularly slow ocean time response) offer different mechanisms to account for the prolonged duration of some ocean anoxic events. Finally, we found that astronomical forcing substantially impacts ocean anoxia by altering ocean circulation and oxygen solubility, with obliquity consistently emerging as the primary orbital parameter driving ocean oxygen variations.
