Published: November 2023

Risk perceptions and attitude are important in the context of decision-making process involving risky options because individuals normally do not have perfect information and their decision making is affected by bounded rationality. The paper aims to analyse and develop the instrument for the examination of the central roles of risk perception and attitude, sequentially, in affecting the behavioural intention towards financial investment. Items included in the pre- test and pilot test stages were adapted from literature, but not specifically related to personal finance. The two stages have significant roles in ensuring and strengthening the content validity and the reliability of the instrument. The finalised survey instrument contained a total of 40 indirect measured items, which were then employed in the study.

THE IMPACT OF REGIONAL INTEGRATION: ASSESSING OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR ASEANâ€™S TRANSITIONAL ECONOMIES
Authors: Sulong Rini Suryati , Lim Beatrice  Fui Yee
Published: November 2023

The growing economic and political interdependencies of markets around the world characterize the complexity of globalization in the 21st century. For most developing countries, globalization of markets presents a greater opportunity to attract foreign investments that would help stimulate national economic growth. Among the factors that influence a companyâ€™s decision to invest in a foreign location, accessibility to markets and stability of the host countriesâ€™ political environment are important determinants because internal political stability is interdependent with internal economic stability. We propose that the determinants of investments in the transitional economies of ASEAN are not confined to its national political stability alone but rather to regional political stability and the opportunity of greater market share acquiesced by regional economic integration. This paper therefore aims to stimulate discussions regarding the influence of regional integration on national development, as well as to contribute to the greater body of knowledge of regional integration studies.Keywords: Regional economic integration, foreign direct investment, ASEAN, Southeast Asia.
“The Sack of Benjamin... I am Now Putting it in Order”. One Unfulfilled Vision
Authors: Stepanova S. S.
Published: November 2023

The article is the first to consider Alexander Ivanov's process of drafting the sketches for an unrealized painting based on the Bible story “Joseph’s Brothers Finding a Cup in the Sack of Benjamin”. The paper also considers the artist's discussion of compositional options with his father – historical painter A. I. Ivanov, as well as with famous European masters – Bertel Thorvaldsen, Vincenzo Camuccini, Johann Friedrich Overbeck. Such a dialog and exchange of opinions is of particular importance for understanding the specifics of both Alexander Ivanov's creative personality and the peculiarities of compositional, scenic and figurative approaches to historical painting in the times of classicism.

The impact of entrepreneurship programmes on students’ career decisions : the case study of the Durban University of Technology
Authors:   , Mzimela Mthokozisi Nkululeko
Published: November 2023

Unemployment is a severe scourge that many countries, from both developed and underdeveloped economies, face. Thus, it has a very negative impact on the economy since it increases unemployment rates, poverty, and other social ills. In the South African context, it has been noticed that there seems to be an increasing trend in graduate unemployment and a lack of interest in entrepreneurship careers after graduating. In a quest for the best solution to this dilemma of graduate unemployment, the government has realised that the only way to revitalise the economy is through the development of entrepreneurship. Therefore, it has made entrepreneurship education a top priority in the institutions of higher learning. This resolution by the government was aimed at facilitating entrepreneurial activities and the cultivation of entrepreneurial talents through tertiary education. It was for this reason that most tertiary institutions introduced entrepreneurship education modules and qualifications in their course offerings. The primary aim of the study is to investigate the impact of entrepreneurship education on students’ future career decisions and also to identify challenges that prevent students from pursuing entrepreneurial activities. In addition, this study aims to find the most effective methods that can mitigate against identified challenges. This study was conducted at the Durban University of Technology (Durban campuses only). A mixed methods approach was used to conduct this research study. A sample size of 274 respondents was sampled from a population of 932 registered students of the entrepreneurship education module for the academic year of 2017 at the Durban University of Technology – the respondents were selected to participate in the data collection. A further three academic staff members within the department of entrepreneurial studies were also included in this study. The study findings highlighted that entrepreneurship education is instrumental in fostering students’ entrepreneurial skills and proclivity towards self-employment. However, certain challenges were identified as the root cause for entrepreneurship education not yielding the much-anticipated results. The study highlighted access to start-up capital as a major challenge, since the majority of students do not have a good credit record or collateral, as required by financial institutions. Therefore, the recommendations made in this particular study can be considered a point of reference for improved outcomes.
The experience of South African gig workers in acquiring and transferring skills
Authors:   , Palhad Sudhika
Published: November 2023

Scholarly investigation into the gig economy has multiplied since the era of COVID 19. Digital labour has provided a key source of income for people globally and in South Africa. However, narratives surrounding gig work has thus far, been primarily centred on worker protection, and worker rights’. This study shifts this narrative towards a developmental perspective of gig work. The study explores the potential for the gig economy to be a conduit for skills acquisition, expansion and transfer. In doing so, some key questions around attaining developmental value via the gig economy is reflected on. The study is primarily exploratory in nature and employs a qualitative methodology to inductively analyse the cases of selected South African freelancers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 South African freelancers (gig workers) to understand how their experiences in terms of skill acquisition, expansion, transfer, career pathways and upskilling can better frame their developmental value. The data was recorded and transcribed to ensure credibility. The results were interpreted and analysed against existing literature using thematic content analysis. The overarching finding was skills acquisition, expansion and transfer and other developmental gains can be attained from gig work. However, these gains are highly dependent upon the type of work being conducted. Significantly, the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations behind the uptake of such work is also a determining factor in whether developmental value is achieved through gig work. More so, this study contests the dominant discourses around gig work, by exploring subjective experiences of South African freelancers who highlight both the pros and cons of such work. Thus, the complexity of gig work is acknowledged in this study. Whilst the gig economy has opened up doors of opportunity, especially for those who have been at the periphery in terms of employment opportunities, underemployment, and a lack of opportunities for upskilling are serious skills-related challenges that gig workers must confront. Finally, this study recommends a conceptual framework that enables a collaborative approach for the upskilling of gig workers.
Evaluating the ethical management practices of small, medium and micro-enterprises to ensure effective business decision-making in the eThekwini Municipal area
Authors:   , Ndlazi Sandile Edwin
Published: November 2023

This study is premised on the understanding that the democratic government of South Africa has made use of many initiatives to sustain the development of SMMEs. This is due to the fact that this sector has the potential to develop the country's economy. The study then aimed to explore the effect of a knowledge of ethics and its management on the business decisions of entrepreneurs. This research examined the potential of SMME managers and business owners in terms of how they can use their ethical management knowledge to ensure effective decision-making which can make their enterprises promote viable economic growth. The basis on which this research was initiated was that of the human behaviour of SMME managers, operators and business owners in relation to how they can contribute to economic development and survive the competitive market using ethical management practicesto make good decisions. The data of the study was accumulated from different SMMEs in the eThekwini Municipal Area using simple random sampling. A total of 200 entrepreneurs answered to the questionnaire, which comprised the sample of the study. This data was captured and evaluated on the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 28 and yielded the descriptive statistics. Significant findings of this research were that to add positively to economic development, SMME owners, managers and operatives must be equipped with knowledge to run their operations with elements of trustworthiness and values of honesty, integrity, fairness accountability, loyalty and empathy if they are to succeed in their choice of operation. The constraining factors that stemmed from the answers of the respondents were that they did not give preference to the legal standards and ethical ideas that regulate their operation with results that end up affecting their ability to make good decisions. The main recommendation is that prospective entrepreneurs must be equipped with knowledge to understanding of how to cope with the changing risks encountered in the process of operation, as well as how to come up with emergency plans that can mitigate this problem. This could also be an avenue for further research.

Published: November 2023

"The UN is the most universal system regulating modern international relations, the supreme holder and guardian of modern international law and as such enjoys the highest moral authority. During its existence, the United Nations has shown both strengths and weaknesses. In the first four decades, the UN really sought to function as an international institution of peace and security, but in the last 30 years its achievements have been insignificant; the negative prevails over the positive, and in some cases the UN simply looked helplessly at violations of international law by its members. The article discusses modern and relevant approaches to reforming the relationship and reciprocal influence of the main UN bodies. Furthermore, the author analyzes the positions of experts and politicians – members of the UN, reflected in their interviews and public speeches of recent years. At the same time, based on significant differences of opinion in the international arena on the reform of the UN Security Council, specific approaches are proposed for the revitalization of the UN"

Expressive illocutionary acts and politeness in managerial responses to online hotel reviews
Authors: Radovanović Aleksandra
Published: November 2023

This paper explores expressive illocutionary acts in responses to hotel guests' reviews posted on Tripadvisor and aims to compare their occurrences and realizations in 320 managerial responses in English from English and Serbian hotels, with manifestations of linguistic politeness a focus of analysis. Drawing largely on Leech's (2014) framework, it has attempted to determine whether the acts which tend to come in the form of formulaic, routinized expressions occurring in the responses written by hotel representatives with different backgrounds exhibit some differences as a reflection of culture-specific politeness values. The analysis has revealed considerable similarity between the two data sets in the lexico-grammatical realization of expressives and the use of resources for politeness. However, some noteworthy points of dissimilarity have emerged which correlate closely with the differences in cultural value preferences of the two countries in Hofstede et al.'s (2010) dimensions of power distance and of individualism.

Access to justice through the prism of digitalization of the information
Authors: Ciaglic Tatiana
Published: November 2023

The topic of digitisation of the justice sector has become mainstream in recent years, thanks to a complex system of both social and technical factors. The pandemic crisis has highlighted the importance and usefulness of information technologies in justice-making. At the same time, however, it has raised new questions, since the initial limits of digitization and the involvement of this phenomenon in public life, including in the field of justice, have been essentially exceeded, and the prospects of digitization of information and its practical applicability in the field of justice require a reconceptualization of many components of law. For today’s crisis-prone society, it is necessary to reconceptualise how litigants interact with the courts and realise their rights and legitimate interests.

Published: November 2023

This study investigated the effect of Phytobiotics (PB) and Antibiotic Growth Promoter (AGP) on performance, intestinal morphology and nutrients transporters mRNA gene expression of broiler chickens. One hundred eighty unsexed one-day-old Ross strains with an average initial body weight (BW) of 45 ± 0.5 g were randomly assigned into three treatments with six replications of 10 chicks in each pen. (1) Control group (CON), basal diets only; (2) antibiotic group, Antibiotic Growth promoter (AGP), basal diet supplemented with 5 mg/kg tetramycin; (3) Phytobiotics (PB), basal diet supplemented with 0.5g/kg, phytobiotics the research lasted for 42 days. Average Daily Feed Intake (ADFI), Average Daily Gain (ADG) and Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) were calculated weekly, and intestinal morphology of Villus Height (VH), Crypt Depth (CD), and Villus Height to crypt depth ratio (VH: CD) from the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, nutrients transporters qRT-PCR mRNA expression of GLUT1, SGLT4, GLUT5, PEPT2, CAT1, and LAT1 were evaluated at day 42. Chicks fed PB had significantly (P=0.0413) higher ADG at 1-42 days, PB and AGP significantly had lower FCR (P=0.0001) and (P=0.0001) at 22-42 d and 1-42 days, respectively, in duodenum the villus height was significantly (P=0.0001) longer in PB fed chickens and the lowest was recorded in CON, while the CD and VH: CD were significantly longer in AGP and PB fed chickens, in jejunum VH and CD were significant (P=0.0001) longer in PB and AGP than the CON fed chickens, in ileum PB fed birds had significant higher VH and CD than the AGP and CON fed groups, in duodenum and ileum GLUT1, SGLT4 and GLUT5 expression were highly expressed in AGP and PB fed chickens similar results was obtained in jejunum and ileum by PEPT2 and CAT1. These findings suggest that supplementing phytobiotics in broiler diets improves growth performance and intestinal morphology and up-regulated the expression of nutrient transporters' genes. However, the underlying detailed biological mechanisms and dose standardisation for inclusion in broiler diets need to be further studied.

The prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases is on the rise due to the aging global population, leading to a significant increase in cognitive impairments characterized by progressive neuronal degeneration. Within these impairments, both spatial and non-spatial attention deficits have emerged as critical features that profoundly impact the quality of life. Spatial attention, crucial for the selective processing of sensory information, involves intricate neural networks, including the parietal and frontal lobes. This review, based on a narrative literature review, synthesizes current research on the neuropathological foundations of spatial and non-spatial attention deficits in various neurodegenerative diseases.
Políticas de ciencia, tecnología e innovación en el Uruguay contemporáneo. Los déficits de la coordinación y la regulación
Authors: Zeballos Lereté Camila , Castillo Marcelo , Fuentes Guillermo
Published: November 2023

Este artículo indaga cómo ha funcionado la complementariedad de las políticas de ciencia, tecnología e innovación (PCTI) en Uruguay desde 2005 hasta 2022. El período de tiempo considerado contempla tres gobiernos de un partido de centroizquierda, el Frente Amplio, y los primeros tres años de una coalición de centroderecha, la Coalición Multicolor, a efectos de ponderar posibles diferencias según orientaciones políticas. Este artículo argumenta que el logro de mayores y mejores niveles de complementariedad en las PCTI se da con adecuadas capacidades estatales para el despliegue de políticas de regulación y de coordinación, pero este tipo de medidas no ha sido considerado adecuadamente. Las construcciones de capacidades técnicas y políticas para liderar PCTI, a partir de la puesta en marcha de políticas regulatorias y el establecimiento de espacios de coordinación, no son atributos inherentes a las instituciones estatales, sino que son una construcción política con el mismo nivel de importancia, por ejemplo, que las de provisión. La metodología que se utiliza es cualitativa y se realiza un análisis de información secundaria.

Este artigo analisou as evidências da análise espacial na bioenergia florestal para geração de eletricidade, no período de 1980 a 2019. Realizou-se uma análise bibliométrica e revisão sistemática de literatura utilizando os bancos de dados da ISI Web of Knowledge e Scopus. Os resultados mostraram que no período estudado houveram 28 publicações distribuídas em artigos científicos (92,85%) e em artigos de revisão (7,14%). Na análise de conteúdo, destacaram três áreas principais presentes na literatura, foram elas: ambiental, econômico-financeira, e disponibilidade de biomassa. O primeiro estudo foi publicado em 1989, tratando do uso energético biomassa florestal na Zâmbia; todavia observou-se aumento significativo das publicações durante a década de 2010, sendo os Estados Unidos o país com maior contribuição (11 trabalhos). Observou que as análises espaciais podem contribuir como ferramenta de apoio para tomadores de decisão, fornecendo orientação explícita sobre custos, eficiência e localizações ideais para o uso da bioeletricidade florestal.
Marx y Mumford. Dos miradas sobre la maquinaria industrial y su génesis
Authors: Sandrone Darío
Published: November 2023

Nos proponemos comparar dos modelos de génesis de la maquinaria industrial. Por un lado, el que elaboró Karl Marx a mediados del siglo XIX; por el otro, el que desarrolló Lewis Mumford a finales de la década de 1960. Esta comparación pretende ser un aporte para repensar el vínculo entre maquinaria industrial y organización social. Para ello, partiremos del presupuesto de que todo sistema técnico requiere determinadas condiciones sociales para su funcionamiento o, dicho de otra forma, que todo sistema técnico es más o menos compatible con un tipo específico de organización social. Sin embargo, no es fácil caracterizar como estas dos esferas se vinculan entre sí. Nuestra tesis es que, teniendo en cuenta el fenómeno de la génesis de la maquinaria industrial, los desarrollos de Marx están más cercanos a enfatizar cierta autonomía entre ambas; los de Mumford, en cambio, una clara continuidad. Sobre el final, intentaremos extraer algunas conclusiones de este contraste y señalar sucintamente ciertas conexiones teóricas con enfoques filosóficos posteriores.
Hacia una política de ciencia, tecnología e innovación más inclusiva en Perú
Authors: Harman Ursula , Corilloclla Pavel , Alayza Bernardo
Published: November 2023

Desde hace más de una década, en América Latina se viene discutiendo la relación entre la ciencia, tecnología e innovación (CTI) y la inclusión social. Para ello se han implementado políticas de CTI que promueven el establecimiento de prioridades sociales y ambientales y la participación de diversos actores. Si bien la política de CTI en Perú se ha enfocado en promover la productividad y competitividad y no cuenta con un enfoque inclusivo explícito, sí se reconoce la importancia del conocimiento ancestral, las innovaciones sociales y la necesidad de priorizar la salud pública y el cambio climático con políticas de CTI. Por ello, este artículo tiene la finalidad de analizar en qué medida las políticas y programas de CTI en Perú promueven la inclusión social, utilizando el marco conceptual de la política de innovación inclusiva. Los hallazgos de esta investigación muestran que existen iniciativas aisladas, contradictorias y con poca claridad sobre qué necesidades se pueden satisfacer mediante la CTI, cuáles son los grupos sociales excluidos y cómo estos pueden participar en la toma de decisiones. Se concluye que la incorporación del enfoque inclusivo contribuiría a tener una política de CTI que responda a las necesidades y particularidades del país.
O papel das associações para o progresso das ciências na génese das políticas científicas Um olhar comparado
Authors: Brandao Tiago
Published: November 2023

O estudo dos encontros, conferências, congressos, simpósios científicos, tem estado associado ao entendimento das sociabilidades científicas enquanto manifestações de cultura científica e sublinhando a capacidade de projeção internacional de grupos nacionais de cientistas. É uma perspetiva que se baseia sobretudo na sociologia e na história social e que se preocupa com o grau de profissionalização (e afirmação) das comunidades científicas domésticas. Estes contributos, todavia, demostram que há um aspeto largamente por explorar (e afirmar), que é a dimensão política das associações científicas, que participaram da construção histórica das políticas científicas em seus respectivos contextos nacionais. É neste sentido que este artigo pretende contribuir, baseando-se numa revisão de literatura e proporcionando uma análise comparada das associações para o progresso das ciências desde o século XIX, acompanhando-se o próprio desenvolvimento de um associativismo científico de tipo federativo e transversal às sociedades disciplinares.
