Authors: den Ouden Marjolein , Groeneveld Sjors , Engelbertink Monique , Talsma AkkeNeel , Ríos Rincón Adriana , Liu Lili
Published: February 2025

Innovation skills are part of 21st century skills, a broad skillset that supports healthcare professionals to better sustain, or future-proof, a career in the modern workplace. Educational programs and services in healthcare need to prepare students to innovate in order to address complex needs of aging and changing demographics in global populations. Early career healthcare professionals will benefit from skills and adaptability to tackle challenges and innovate their practices. Engagement in innovation that involves technology cultivates such new skill sets, fosters leadership, and positions these healthcare professionals as critical players in shaping the future of their professions. In this article, we describe examples of integrating 21st century skills into three categories: curriculum and instruction, professional development, and learning environments, based on a partnership framework for 21st century learning. Our shared examples offer an international perspective on the topic of innovation, describing efforts within occupational therapy, nursing, and social work programs in Canada, The Netherlands, and the USA. In the area of curriculum and instruction, we include initiatives to build innovation skills both within a single course and integrated opportunities throughout the curricula. From the professional development perspective, new professional roles and programs have emerged with a focus on technology. Finally, educational support systems have fostered innovative learning environments for interdisciplinary education with a focus on collaboration, innovation, and creativity. In all examples, interprofessional collaboration between education and practice was a leading strategy to prepare healthcare professionals across the globe with necessary 21st century leadership skills for innovative practice.
Exploring the Capacity of Practicing Registered Nurses for Precision Health
Authors: Fangonil-Gagalang Evangeline , Schultz Mary , Huryk Laurie , Payne Pamela , Schoenbaum Anna , Velez Kimberly , Wilson Marisa
Published: February 2025

Precision Health (PH), a novel approach to care provision, tailors medical decisions, interventions, and treatments to an individual's uniqueness by recognizing individual variations in genes, environment, and lifestyle. Although the implementation of PH is proliferating, there is currently no clear shared understanding of it among practicing Registered Nurses (RNs). This descriptive cross-sectional study assesses nursing’s capacity to integrate PH into practice through a survey examining knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) in a sample of RNs. Pilot testing of the Precision Health Nurse Capacity Scale (PHNCS) was aimed at determining its utility in assessing nurses' capacity for PH. Results indicate that nurses favor PH and that the PHNCS is a valid and reliable tool. Knowledge gains will be deployed in a nationwide survey of nurses in which the aim is to measure the capacity of the nursing workforce for both PH and genetics/genomics.

Published: February 2025

Purpose

The current study examined trends and help-seeking behaviors among individuals who died by suicide in South Korea, analyzed by age and sex.

Method

This secondary data analysis encompassed all cases of death by suicide among adults aged 20 to 39 years in Seoul, Korea, from 2013 to 2020. Using descriptive statistics, we analyzed data from the Korea National Investigations of Suicide Victims Study using police records.

Results

Over 8 years, the number of deaths by suicide among adults fluctuated, with a notable increase among female individuals since 2017. Mental health problems were the main causes of suicide for males and females. Males tended to die by suicide due to economic or employment issues, whereas suicide among females was often linked to interpersonal relationships. Males were found to be less likely to seek help for mental health problems than females.

Conclusion

This study emphasizes tailored suicide prevention strategies, considering internal and external characteristics of at-risk individuals. [

El arquetipo cobra vida. Noticias sobre ajusticiamientos por brujería en el siglo XIX
Authors: Lara Alberola Eva
Published: February 2025

Este artículo aborda la pervivencia de la superstición en el siglo XIX, presentando algunas reflexiones de diversos autores aparecidas en prensa desde 1763 a modo de introducción y profundizando en cinco noticias que ven la luz a lo largo de la centuria. Dichas noticias evidencian con hechos reales el arraigo de la creencia en brujas y del fanatismo, ya que en ellas se da el ajusticiamiento de una anciana por parte de sus vecinos y los agresores terminan en manos de las autoridades. Esto es posible por la existencia de un arquetipo muy bien asentado en el ideario, reflejado en diversas producciones, tanto en la literatura como en la prensa, que en un momento determinado toma vida en la figura de una mujer que presenta ciertos atributos y cualidades. El mito se encarna, como sucedía durante la caza de brujas, con la gran diferencia de que las personas apresadas y condenadas no son, en esta ocasión, las agentes de un crimen imaginario, sino los delincuentes materiales.
Les Fées, un cas d’école
Authors: Eichel-Lojkine Patricia
Published: February 2025

Dans ce chapitre construit en deux volets, nous explorons l’hypothèse que le parti pris d’une écriture de la « naïveté » dans Les Fées de Perrault est le résultat de deux opérations combinées :– un filtrage du langage allégorique des Enchantements de l’éloquence de Mlle Lhéritier, de manière à le rendre compatible avec un conte « imitant le style et la simplicité des nourrices » (selon l’expression de l’abbé de Villiers), à quoi s’ajoute marginalement une relecture d’un conte en vers grivois de La Fontaine (Le petit chien qui secoue de l’argent & des pierreries) ; – un filtrage de l’imaginaire de Basile dans ce qu’il peut avoir de grotesque, d’incongru, de malséant.Si réécriture il y a, celle-ci va de pair avec des stratégies de détournement de modèles et d’occultation.

Deux semaines avec Charlie
Authors: Molinier Pascal
Published: February 2025

Les tueries des 7, 8 et 9 janvier 2015 ont bouleversé l’opinion française et déclenché une série de mouvements collectifs, de réactions médiatiques et de débats publics rarement observés dans notre pays. Au-delà des explications rapides en termes de choc émotionnel, de sursaut citoyen ou de défense des valeurs républicaines, cet ouvrage porte sur ces évènements un regard original, différent de celui suggéré par les commentateurs médiatiques et les responsables politiques. Pourquoi tant de gens dans les rues ? Quels sont les ressorts des théories conspirationnistes apparues sur Internet ? Pourquoi cette subite sévérité des juges à l’égard de toute parole supposée faire l’apologie du terrorisme ? Voilà quelques-unes des questions auxquelles cet ouvrage tente d’apporter des réponses en décryptant les processus psychosociaux sous-jacents à ces évènements et en proposant des clés théoriques pour leur compréhension.

Leadership insights from selected Setswana proverbs: An African perspective
Authors: Resane Kelebogile T.
Published: February 2025

This article demonstrates that Setswana proverbs enrich the concept of leadership within the Setswana culture. Some Setswana proverbs and cultural leadership principles are in synergy towards character formation, community building and competency expectations. In other words, leadership principles expressed through Setswana proverbs are categorised according to the character, community and competency in leadership. There are hundreds of proverbs in this language speaking about character formation whereby an individual takes responsibility for self-formation through community engagement based on leadership. The kgosi [king] is expected by the community to be competent in or through participative leadership style. The kgosi is a leader showing no favouritism, but is accommodative to all people regardless of their abilities and disabilities. The three Cs (Character, Community and Competency) are not ordered in priority, but for discussion purposes. The discussion starts by understanding the Setswana concept of leadership and makes conclusions by appealing to the inclusion of Setswana proverbs in all academic interdisciplinary studies as a way of decolonising education towards emancipation from religio-cultural inhibitions and stereotypes.Contribution: This article reawakens the importance of the knowledge of African proverbs and idioms. These are invaluable tools with high potency towards the decolonisation of education including religion and philosophy in Africa. Leadership from an African perspective, especially from Setswana understanding, is accurately expressed through some Setswana proverbs. Learning leadership principles through Setswana proverbs enriches African epistemologies and ontologies.

An elderly male patient clinically presented with painful nodules over the trunk which progressed to involve limbs over 2 months. On examination, there were multiple bluish-red subcutaneous nodules with the local rise of the temperature. Clinically, we have considered the following conditions such as lupus panniculitis, erythema nodosum, and other causes for panniculitis. Finally, histopathological examination revealed classical findings suggestive of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. It was a challenging case to diagnose clinically, it needs a high index of suspicion to diagnose early and manage effectively. The patient was started on cyclophosphamide, hydroxyurea, oncovin, and prednisolone therapy.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide rejuvenates septic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
Authors: Xia Xin , Zhou Kun , An Lin-Ying , Zhao Min , Tian Bin-Le , Zhao Jin-Yan , Zhou Zhi-Gang , Tong Yin
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Sepsis is a severe illness characterized by systemic and multiorgan reactive responses and damage. However, the impact of sepsis on the bone marrow, particularly on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), is less reported. BMSCs are critical stromal cells in the bone marrow microenvironment that maintain bone stability and hematopoietic homeostasis; however, the impairment caused by sepsis remains unknown.

AIM

To investigate the effects of sepsis on BMSCs and the underlying mechanisms.

METHODS

BMSCs were obtained from healthy donors and patients with sepsis. We compared the self-renewal capacity, differentiation potential, and hematopoietic supportive ability in vitro . Senescence of septic BMSCs was assessed using β-galactosidase staining, senescence-associated secretory phenotype, intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, and the expression of P16 and P21. Finally, the changes in septic BMSCs after nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) treatment were evaluated.

RESULTS

Septic BMSCs showed decreased proliferation and self-renewal, bias towards adipogenic differentiation, and weakened osteogenic differentiation. Additionally, hematopoietic supportive capacity declines in sepsis. The levels of aging markers were significantly higher in the septic BMSCs. After NAD treatment, the proliferation capacity of septic BMSCs showed a recovery trend, with increased osteogenic and hematopoietic supportive capacities. Sepsis resulted in decreased expression of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) in BMSCs, whereas NAD treatment restored SIRT3 expression, enhanced superoxide dismutase enzyme activity, reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, maintained mitochondrial stability and function, and ultimately rejuvenated septic BMSCs.

CONCLUSION

Sepsis accelerates the aging of BMSCs, as evidenced by a decline in self-renewal and osteogenic capabilities, as well as weakened hematopoietic support functions. These deficiencies can be effectively reversed via the NAD/ SIRT3/superoxide dismutase pathway.
Stem cell therapy: A promising therapeutic approach for skeletal muscle atrophy
Authors: Wang Ying-Jie , Chen Ze-Hao , Shen Yun-Tian , Wang Ke-Xin , Han Yi-Min , Zhang Chen , Yang Xiao-Ming , Chen Bing-Qian
Published: February 2025

Skeletal muscle atrophy results from disruptions in the growth and metabolism of striated muscle, leading to a reduction or loss of muscle fibers. This condition not only significantly impacts patients’ quality of life but also imposes substantial socioeconomic burdens. The complex molecular mechanisms driving skeletal muscle atrophy contribute to the absence of effective treatment options. Recent advances in stem cell therapy have positioned it as a promising approach for addressing this condition. This article reviews the molecular mechanisms of muscle atrophy and outlines current therapeutic strategies, focusing on mesenchymal stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and their derivatives. Additionally, the challenges these stem cells face in clinical applications are discussed. A deeper understanding of the regenerative potential of various stem cells could pave the way for breakthroughs in the prevention and treatment of muscle atrophy.
WDR36 inhibits the osteogenic differentiation and migration of periodontal ligament stem cells
Authors: Wang Yi , Zhang Feng-Qiu , Fan Zhi-Peng , Zhu Xin-Ling , Yan Wan-Hao , Zhang Xiu-Li
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by the host’s immune response and various interactions between pathogens, which lead to the loss of connective tissue and bone. In recent years, mesenchymal stem cell (SC) transplantation technology has become a research hotspot, which can form periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone through proliferation and differentiation.

AIM

To elucidate the regulatory effects of WD repeat-containing protein 36 (WDR36) on the senescence, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament SCs (PDLSCs).

METHODS

The migration and chemotaxis of PDLSCs were detected by the scratch-wound migration test and transwell chemotaxis test. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin red staining, calcium content, and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) of key transcription factors were used to detect the osteogenic differentiation function of PDLSCs. Cell senescence was determined by senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining.

RESULTS

The 24-hour and 48-hour scratch-wound migration test and 48-hour transwell chemotaxis test showed that overexpression of WDR36 inhibited the migration/chemotaxis of PDLSCs. Simultaneously, WDR36 depletion promoted the migration/chemotaxis of PDLSCs. The results of ALP activity, Alizarin red staining, calcium content, and RT-qPCR showed that overexpression of WDR36 inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs, and WDR36 depletion promoted the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining showed that 0.1 μg/mL icariin (ICA) and overexpression of WDR36 inhibited the senescence of PDLSCs, and WDR36 depletion promoted the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs.

CONCLUSION

WDR36 inhibits the migration and chemotaxis, osteogenic differentiation, and senescence of PDLSCs; 0.1 μg/mL ICA inhibits the senescence of PDLSCs. Therefore, WDR36 might serve as a target for periodontal tissue regeneration and the treatment of periodontitis.
Effects of macrophages on the osteogenic differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells in two-dimensional and three-dimensional cocultures
Authors: Zhang He-Ao , Zhang Bo-Yu , Tang Hong-Bo
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Fracture is one of the most pervasive injuries in the musculoskeletal system, and there is a complex interaction between macrophages and adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in fracture healing. However, two-dimensional (2D) coculture of macrophages and ADSCs can not accurately mimic the in vivo cell microenvironment.

AIM

To establish both 2D and 3D osteogenic coculture models to investigate the interaction between macrophages and ADSCs.

METHODS

After obtaining ADSCs from surgery and inducing differentiation of the THP1 cell line, we established 2D and 3D osteogenic coculture models. To assess the level of osteogenic differentiation, we used alizarin red staining and measured the relative expression levels of osteogenic differentiation markers osteocalcin, Runt-related transcription factor 2, and alkaline phosphatase through polymerase chain reaction. Verification was conducted by analyzing the expression changes of N-cadherin and the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway using western blotting.

RESULTS

In this study, it was discovered that macrophages in 3D culture inhibited osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs, contrary to the effect in 2D culture. This observation confirmed the significance of intricate intercellular connections in the 3D culture environment. Additionally, the 3D culture group exhibited significantly higher N-cadherin expression and showed reduced β-catenin and Wnt1 protein levels compared to the 2D culture group.

CONCLUSION

Macrophages promoted ADSC osteogenic differentiation in 2D culture conditions but inhibited it in 3D culture. The 3D culture environment might inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by upregulating N-cadherin expression, ultimately hindering the osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs. By investigating the process of osteogenesis in ADSCs, this study provides novel ideas for exploring 3D osteogenesis in ADSCs, fracture repair, and other bone trauma repair.

Preliminary reflections on the consequences of zeroculturality in the digital communication space
Authors: Grzechynka Agnieszka
Published: February 2025

The maxim: Quod principi placuit, legis habet vigorem, deemed foundational in Roman law, has exerted influence on the evolution of legal systems throughout history. Contemporary considerations prompt an analysis of this dogma in both historical and current political contexts, the latter discerning sovereignty in the voice of the people and democratic structures. The author posits that, instead of solely adhering to historical interpretations, scrutiny of this principle is warranted from the perspective of dynamic communicative processes and media. Undoubtedly in the era of Marketing 5.0, the viewer/reader/consumer of online content becomes a peculiar sovereign, possessing not only significant evaluative power but also the potential to influence a paradigm shift.
In today’s world, the consumer of online content plays a decisive role, imposing styles and narrative preferences on the content creator. Recognizing this, brands actively strive for content personalization, seeking alignment with the variable tastes and needs of the audience. This fact alone inevitably gives rise to numerous challenges, including the loss of control over the communication process and the necessity to consider various parameters effective in capturing the consumer’s attention. In the face of this dynamic context, the question arises: what are the consequences for communication and marketing strategy posed by emerging phenomena such as zeroculturality? Will the observed trends of selective identification with specific demographic, linguistic, or cultural traits among audiences in recent years impact the future shape and efficacy of brand communication?
The aim of this article is to draw the reader’s attention to a new phenomenon observed in the public sphere, which is highly likely to impact the mechanisms of political and business communication with audiences. The author identified this phenomenon during her research and provisionally named it “zeroculturality.” The results of the observations, which are discussed in detail in her monograph, will be presented here in a condensed form necessary to lay the foundation for further considerations. Zeroculturality refers to a growing trend in which traditional cultural boundaries and identifiers become increasingly fluid and fragmented, leading to a more individualized and less culturallyrooted form of identity. This concept may prove crucial for understanding how some contemporary audiences analyze content, and thereby assist brands and political entities in developing more effective communication strategies based on content targetting.
A Study on Derivation of Lag Phase of Methane Production and Kinetic Parameters of Ammonia Inhibition During Anaerobic Digestion for Swine Manure
Authors: Cho Hyojin , Sung Nak seung , Ha Dahyun , Oa Seongwook
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to derive an estimation equation for calculating the lag time for ammonia load adaptation of methanogens during anaerobic digestion and to derive model coefficients using the results derived from the batch experiment results. Pig manure is known to be a representative substrate that inhibits the normal operation of the anaerobic digestion process by accumulating ammonia. AMPTS (Automatic Methane Potential Test Systems) equipment was used in the laboratory to determine whether methane bacteria can be suppressed and applied to the high concentration of ammonia in general pig manure and the operating factors for operating an on-site anaerobic digester at a pig farm. The methane production rate before adaptation to ammonia concentration is 0.68 L/gVS at TAN 2,700mg/L, while the microorganism after adaptation shows a generation rate of 0.82L/gVS at TAN 4,250mg/L. The delayed phase length (λ) range from 45 to 99 days in unadapted microorganisms, showing that methane production is possible without a delayed phase when using adapted microorganisms. The modified Gompertz model applied in this study not only shows a difference in the λ value, which represents the lag time, depending on whether the microorganisms adapt, but also shows a larger difference in Pm1, which represents the amount of methane production by stage, while the half-saturation constant K and the maximum gas in the second stage show a greater difference. The production rate, Rm, changes depending on the organic matter load and shows similar values ​​regardless of whether the microorganisms have adapted or not.

Authors: Shilaskar Swati , Bhatlawande Shripad , Sheikh Shafaque , Salve Sahil , Shaikh Tayyab
Published: February 2025

Detecting honeybee species is important for ecological and agricultural research, as it helps researchers understand their behavior, population, movement pattern, and pollination habits. The paper proposes a honey bee Identification system categorizing five subspecies: Apis Cerena Indica, Apis Mellifera, Apis Florea, Apis Dorsata, and Trigona. Input images of honeybees are preprocessed to improve quality and eliminate any noise. Data augmentation methods are used to increase the dataset size, ensuring effective model training. The VGG16 architecture, known for its success in image recognition tasks, is utilized to identify important features from the dataset. Further, Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) and Softmax layers are added, increasing the model's efficiency. The support Vector Machine model is trained to classify 5 classes of honey bees. After training the model, accurate predictions of different honeybee species with high levels of precision and recall are made.

Este texto busca determinar la naturaleza jurídica de la información pública gubernamental en México partiendo de un análisis constitucional y filosófico. Para ello, se sigue la metodología de Ponce de León Armenta (1996), quien plantea la necesidad de hurgar en la teleología y la axiología jurídica, desentrañando las causas últimas del mandato legal para poder colegir si se cumplen los aspectos fundamentales para la gobernanza. Del análisis resulta que, a partir de un manejo indistinto de las nociones de propaganda e información gubernamental en el texto constitucional, se desprende un conflicto para una adecuada interpretación de la naturaleza jurídica de la comunicación social en México. El estudio implica la necesidad un marco constitucional propio para el ejercicio de la comunicación social del gobierno mexicano, de manera que contemple a la eficacia y eficiencia del gasto público como consecuencia, no como origen, y como principios superiores al de la austeridad presupuestal.

La militarización de la seguridad pública en México se ha estudiado poco en tanto a su relación con las masculinidades militarizadas. Este artículo busca identificar elementos de las masculinidades militarizadas en normativas e instrumentos de seguridad pública en los ultimos tres sexenios: el de Felipe Calderón de 2006 a 2012, el de Enrique Peña Nieto de 2012 a 2018 y el de Andrés Manuel López Obrador de 2018 a 2024. Para aportar a la literatura sobre seguridad y masculinidades, se analizaron las masculinidades militarizadas en política pública a partir de cuatro dimensiones constitutivas: valorización del Uso de la Fuerza, jeraquización de género, raza y clase, uso de lenguaje y narrativas bélicas, y asociación entre nacionalismos y militarismo. Los hallazgos sugieren que las masculinidades militarizadas están presentes en los instrumentos de política pública en seguridad implementados en México de 2006 a 2024, primordialmente las dimensiones de uso de lenguaje y narrativas bélicas y valorización del Uso de la Fuerza.
Falocentrismo en el ejercicio del poder en brasil: Análisis del discurso político de Fernando Collor, Jair Bolsonaro y Lula da Silva
Authors:   PUC-Rio, Moratelli Valmir
Published: February 2025

Este artículo investiga el discurso político desde la perspectiva de la virilidad como uno de los códigos sociales más relacionados con el cuerpo masculino y su identidad de género socialmente construida. A partir de estos discursos de tres representantes políticos del poder ejecutivo brasileño, Fernando Collor de Mello, Jair Bolsonaro y Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, se pretende discutir la representación discursiva de la masculinidad en el ejercicio del poder y su relación con el liderazgo público. Para lograrlo, la metodología adoptada es la descripción literal de dichos discursos con el aporte teórico de los estudiosos del género. La hipótesis es que hay un intento de enmascarar el envejecimiento corporal estigmatizado en una sociedad que discrimina por la edad, la cual prioriza los valores de la juventud masculina en la cima de la jerarquía política brasileña.
Masculinidad hegemónica, sujetos endriagos y gobernanza criminal en un pueblo zacatecano
Authors:   Universidad de las Américas Puebla, Flores Alvarez Jeaqueline
Published: February 2025

En este artículo, se explora la forma en que, bajo las lógicas de precariedad impuestas por el horizonte neoliberal, se configura y legitima un ideal de necromasculinidad en íntima relación con el crimen organizado, con las lógicas estructurales patriarcales del Estado y sus instituciones. Se toman como ejemplo sucesos locales para analizar la forma en que los sujetos endriagos modelan patrones de comportamiento generizados que entrelazan el necropoder y las técnicas necropolíticas para asentarse como una forma de gobierno local y un modelo de masculinidad que produce un tipo de sensibilidad específica donde la violencia se glamouriza, al mismo tiempo que se ocultan sus consecuencias más atroces.

El presente estudio analizó la relación entre los costos altos y la rentabilidad en empresas de producción, tomando como caso “La Nevada”. Se identificó la necesidad de optimizar la gestión de costos directos e indirectos y gastos operativos para mejorar la estabilidad financiera. El objetivo fue determinar como la adecuada administración de estos costos influyen en la sostenibilidad empresarial. Se empleó un enfoque cuantitativo, descriptivo y comparativo, utilizando encuestas, revisión bibliográfica y análisis estadísticos mediante Excel y SPSS, incluyendo el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson. Los resultados demostraron que los costos altos no afectan directamente la rentabilidad (r = 0.000, p =1.000); sin embargo, variables como la eficiencia operativa, la distribución del personal y la estrategia de ventas, son determinantes en la estabilidad del mercado. Se concluye que, a pesar de los costos elevados, una gestión eficiente de recursos y planificación estratégica puede compensar estos factores, promoviendo una rentabilidad sostenible.

Published: February 2025

Bandara Internasional Jawa Barat Kertajati (BIJB) memiliki potensi besar sebagai pusat transportasi udara di Jawa Barat, namun menghadapi tantangan dalam okupansi penumpang dan kargo akibat terbatasnya rute penerbangan dan keterlibatan maskapai. Regulasi pembukaan rute penerbangan menjadi faktor kunci dalam meningkatkan daya saing bandara. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak regulasi terhadap okupansi penumpang dan kargo di BIJB serta mengidentifikasi strategi yang efektif untuk meningkatkan lalu lintas penerbangan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) dengan pendekatan deskriptif-analitis. Data yang digunakan berupa data sekunder dari dokumen regulasi, laporan kinerja bandara, statistik penerbangan, serta wawancara dengan pemangku kepentingan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa alternatif tindakan yang berbasis promosi, kerja sama strategis, serta peningkatan fasilitas dan layanan (Alternatif 2) memberikan dampak positif dalam meningkatkan jumlah penumpang dan kargo. Selain itu, kebijakan regulasi seperti subsidi, insentif, pengalihan rute, dan pengembangan infrastruktur (Alternatif 3) juga terbukti efektif, meskipun menghadapi tantangan dalam implementasinya. Implikasi dari penelitian ini menekankan perlunya kombinasi strategi berbasis regulasi dan non-regulasi untuk meningkatkan daya saing BIJB. Kolaborasi antara pemerintah, operator bandara, maskapai, dan sektor swasta menjadi kunci keberhasilan dalam meningkatkan okupansi penumpang dan kargo. Dengan penerapan strategi yang lebih adaptif, BIJB dapat berkembang menjadi hub transportasi udara yang kompetitif di tingkat nasional dan internasional.
Do Entrepreneurs’ Financial Literacy Moderate the Effect of Financing Decisions on the Growth Prospects of Micro, Small and Medium-Scale Enterprises in Northeastern Nigeria?
Authors:   Accountancy Department, Federal Polytechnic Bali, PMB 05 Bali, Taraba state, Nigeria, Sani Abdullahi
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the moderating influence of entrepreneurs’ financial literacy on the relationship between financing decisions and growth prospects. The research sampled 176 micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Northeastern Nigeria from 2018 to 2023. The data was generated from the financial statements of these organisations and through the administration of a questionnaire and analysed using ordinary least square regression (OLS). The research outcome suggests that long-term financing options have a significant positive effect on growth, while short-term financing loans may constrain growth prospects. The moderation analysis reveals that entrepreneurs’ financial literacy moderates the impact of long-term debt on growth, supporting the upper-echelon theory. The findings indicate that MSMEs can achieve sustainable growth by employing entrepreneurs with financial expertise to manage financing decisions for sustainable growth. The research outcome may guide managers in selecting the appropriate financing sources to boost firm value for optimum growth.
Stakeholders’ Support and Academic System Optimisation: Interrogating The Issues in Public Universities

Published: February 2025

The significance of having a viable academic system, particularly at the university level cannot be overstated. This is because apart from enhancing self-confidence in teaching, learning, and research, the skills and knowledge acquired open opportunities for personal career development, social responsibility, and greater prospects of harnessing vital resources for the economic success of the country. Even with the many ambitious educational initiatives designed by government institutions and other key players to guarantee the intended results, there is still much room for improvement in the value that the universities add and create. This paper aims to optimise the benefits of teaching, learning and other mandates of universities, as academic systems, and provide paths that shift from the current narrative to produce desired alternative outcomes. Participant observation as well as systematic desk research were used to raise stakeholders' support concerns in a thematic format to interrogate the issues working against the achievement of academic system optimisation in public universities in Nigeria. It was suggested amongst other things that, resolving the inter-influencing stakeholders' support concerns about important stakeholders such as students, lecturers, institutional policymakers, professional bodies, and society at large, will provide the necessary boost for academic system optimisation.
