Investigating social entrepreneurial intentions of Generation Z
Authors: Turčić Ivan
Published: December 2022

In this paper, the social entrepreneurial intentions and the three main constructs of the Theory of planned behavior were investigated concerning gender and the (non)existence of parental role models among Generation Z. Role models and gender are used variables in the research of (social) entrepreneurial intentions, but they were not examined in the context of Generation Z. This paper seeks to fill that gap in the literature with additional research into possible differences in three main constructs of the Theory of planned behavior regarding parental role models and gender. The research was conducted on a sample of 306 respondents of Generation Z. The respondents were third-year undergraduate business major students. Independent samples t-tests were used to test the hypotheses. The obtained results show that Generation Z students have statistically significant differences in social entrepreneurial intentions and the three main constructs of the theory of planned behavior with regard to the parental role models. Generation Z students whose at least one parent is an entrepreneur have higher social entrepreneurial intentions than students whose parents are not entrepreneurs. Regarding gender, there are no statistically significant differences in social entrepreneurship intentions and perceived behavior control, while there are statistically significant differences in attitude towards social entrepreneurship and subjective norms: women have a higher attitude towards social entrepreneurship and subjective norms than men. In the end, limitations of the conducted research and recommendations for future research are given.

Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Kim Yong-tae
Published: December 2022

In a rapidly changing environment such as the global economic downturn and the emergence of new technologies following the 4th industrial revolution, national interest in entrepreneurship as a method of creating new jobs is increasing. is increasing In particular, various start-up education programs that have advanced from lecture-type education focusing on theory are being introduced. Therefore, this study tried to empirically examine the effects of digital literacy and entrepreneurial efficacy, which are required in the new era of digital transformation, on entrepreneurial intentions through experiential entrepreneurship education. As a result of empirical analysis through this study, first, it was confirmed that entrepreneurial efficacy had a significant positive ( +) effect on entrepreneurial intention. Second, the relationship between the ability to use the device during digital literacy and the intention to start a business was not verified. Third, it was found that experiential entrepreneurship education had an important mediating factor between digital literacy, entrepreneurial efficacy, and entrepreneurial intention. As the implication of this study, since entrepreneurship efficacy and digital literacy can enhance entrepreneurial intention through experiential start-up education programs, various teaching methods and contents will need to be developed to activate experiential start-up education programs.

Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study is to create a classification model that can identify the type of job by using online job posting text data and evaluate the performance of the model. By applying the latest deep learning machine learning method to Work-Net online job postings(OJPs) text data, it is to automatically determine the occupat ional code of the OJPs. Considering the research trends shifting from a rule-based model to an artificial neural network model. and the merit of handling large-scale online job posting materials and the contextual meaning of text well. the latest models of artificial neural networks. Bi-LSTM and KoBERT models, were applied. As a result of applying the model to 8 million text data of employment insurance Work-Net job posting data from 1999 to 2001 . matching accuracy of 0.62 to 0.82 was achieved. The result is not very high performance. but it is generally judged to be a model that can determine the occupation. In particular. high accuracy was achieved in professions where job descriptions were specific and precise. Although it is not yet perfect for practical use, it is expected that the performance of the automatic occupational classification system will improve in the future when recruitment practices into the job-type labor market change and more precise data pre-processing and model applications are made.

The Doctor’s Monsters
Authors: Sleight Graham
Published: December 2022

Doctor Who has been on global television screens for nearly fifty years, and many of its most memorable protagonists have been its monsters, The Daleks, Cybermen, Slitheen, the Sonterans, Ood, Wiirrn, and others. Entertainingly and provocatively written, and introduced by Who scriptwriter Paul Cornell, The Doctor s Monsters takes a new look at these and many other creatures, and asks what inspired them and what lies behind them. If the Daleks are based on ideas of genetic purity, and the Cybermen on fears of transplant surgery, what about the Autons, the Zarbi, or the Weeping Angels? Science fiction critic Graham Sleight examines stories from the whole of Doctor Who s history to give this unique perspective on the series. Why are we so scared of monsters? Why do they look and act the way they do? How do they reflect the time and place that the series is broadcast in? Along the way, the book provides a history – from an unusual angle – of how this most enduring of TV science fiction series has created and recreated itself. The book also contains a comprehensive glossary of the creatures seen in Doctor Who. It is a must for any fan of the series.

Authors: Mullins, MD, MA, MPH Peter M. , Gilligan, MD, MBA Christopher J. , Bhattacharyya, MD Neil
Published: December 2022

Objective: More than one in five American adults experiences chronic pain, and numerous approaches can be used to treat chronic pain. Opioid analgesics are commonly used to treat pain though precise estimates of the prevalence of opioid analgesic use vary widely. This study sought to determine the prevalence of opioid use for pain among adults in the United States.Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the National Health Interview Survey, a national-level household-based annual survey of self-reported health status of US adults, using a chronic pain module introduced in the 2019 edition. We examined overall rates of opioid medication use for pain and correlates of opioid use using survey-weighted analyses.Results: We found 30.8 million adults (95 percent CI: 29.3-32.3 million), or 12.3 percent (11.8-12.8) of the population, had used opioids for pain in the preceding 12 months, while 9.3 million (8.6-10.0 million), or 3.7 percent (3.5-4.0), had used opioids for chronic pain in the preceding 3 months. Individuals reporting pain every day were more likely to have used opioids than those experiencing pain less frequently. Individuals who had tried other methods such as physical therapy and self-management programs were more likely to have used opioids. Individuals who used opioids for pain were more likely to report poorly controlled pain, with 38.0 percent (31.5-45.0) reporting their pain management was “not at all effective.” Conclusions: Opioid use for chronic pain is common and frequently part of a multimodal and multidisciplinary approach.
Preliminary Survey on Clam Based Tourism and Conservation in Sabah
Authors: Abd Ebrah Nor Anniera Binti , Peters Robert Francis
Published: December 2022

One nature-based attraction for nature lovers and ecotourists in Sabah is the variety of clam resources where exotic species such as Giant clam are protected under CITES and the Sabah Department of Fisheries. Clams are highly distributed in Sabah, attracting tourists and providing food sources for  local people. Despite the popularity of clams, the relationship between clam consumption by the local community and tourists are least documented and studied in Sabah, implicating the management and conservation of clam resources through the perspective of local people and tourists. This research is significant in improving policies and decision-making for the long-term ecological and socio-economic sustainability of clam-based tourism and conservation in Sabah. Online surveys and in-person interviews on local people and tourists were conducted in Sandakan, Kota Kinabalu, Tawau and Kudat. Descriptive statistical methods, Chi-squared analysis, and factor analysis were used for analysing data. Findings suggest a relationship between clam consumption by the respondents with clam as traditional food of the respondents and the popularity of clam in the visited area. Factor analysis yielded two factors on the involvement of the local community in clam conservation and utilization in the visited area, and another two factors on the respondent's expectation based on their trip experiences in Sabah. The results also suggest that tourists commonly viewed the involvement of the local community in their visited area as more traditional-like. These views contradict  clam conservation efforts in Sabah that  adopt modern approaches while excluding the role of local people. This information is crucial in understanding the consumption of clam resources in Sabah's tourism industry, integrating with  local cultures and adding value to calm conservation in Sabah.

Authors:   I. Zhansugurov Zhetysu University, Ilimzhanova Z.
Published: December 2022

The growth of public welfare and support for the least well-to-do members of society is a priority for the development of society at the present stage of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Social and labor inequality, "shadow" income from property, lack of alternatives in tax regulation, unfair competition, low level of tax cleanliness of entrepreneurship and social responsibility have led to the fact that the monthly income of half of the population does not exceed fifty thousand tenge. Problems of the self-employed, difficulties in determining their real profitability, dependent expectations in society as a whole hinder the progress of business development. The ineffective local economic policy associated with the decentralization of functions between the center and the regions once again confirms the need for a reasonable fiscal policy to solve the issues of inequality in the development of regions. An increase in profitability are to be accompanied with appropriate measures of tax regulation, while the draft program for increasing the income of the population until 2025 provides exemption from payments of all taxes and social contributions for 2 years. The proposed increase in the yield threshold to 3,000 MCI based on a single total income with self-payment of social contributions, and prolongation of the special tax regime based on a retail tax with registration and payment of 3% of income can equalize the existing income differentiation via tax regulation methods.

Legitimate differential treatment in labor relations
Authors:   Universitatea Petrol-Gaze Ploiești, Rădulescu Dragoș-Lucian
Published: December 2022

The substantiation of the concept of non-discrimination was initially made in relation to the recognition of the principle of equality, being established certain criteria that constituted a hard core of the regulations necessary to achieve protection. The national states have regulated in this matter by establishing in national legislation specific rules, initially found at the constitutional level, in the legal labor relations determining equal access to the labor supply. Subsequently, under the influence of interpretations of case law, the rules of non-discrimination were found at the level of organic laws, as a way for national courts to respond to solutions issued by European courts.
Molecular overtones and two-phonon combination bands in the near-infrared spectra of talc, brucite and lizardite
Authors: Balan Etienne , Paulatto Lorenzo , Deng Qianyu , Béneut Keevin , Guillaumet Maxime , Baptiste Benoît
Published: December 2022

Abstract. The near-infrared (NIR) spectra of hydrous minerals display absorption bands
involving multiple excitations of vibrational modes. They usually involve OH
stretching modes, but their interpretation is not straightforward due to the
combined effects of bond anharmonicity and vibrational coupling. In the
present study, the mid-infrared (MIR) and near-infrared spectra of
well-ordered samples of trioctahedral layered hydrous minerals, talc,
brucite and lizardite, have been measured on a spectral range extending
from the fundamental vibrational modes to the second OH stretching
overtones. The bands corresponding to molecular overtones are interpreted
using an effective approach allowing us to infer the anharmonicity and coupling
parameters controlling the OH stretching frequencies from spectroscopic data.
They follow the usual relation between transition energy and quantum number
of the excited state, which facilitates the comparison of NIR and MIR
spectra. The results support the assignment of the main overtone bands to
specific environments of OH groups and bring new constraints for the
identification of the vibrational bands related to Fe and Al substitutions
at octahedral sites in serpentines. The two-phonon absorption bands are
theoretically analyzed at the density functional theory level by computing
the absorption arising from the self-energy of the IR-active vibrational
modes. The characteristics of the two-phonon OH stretching continuum between
7300 and 7400 cm−1 and of the combination bands between 4000 and 4800 cm−1 are related to the specificities of the one-phonon and two-phonon
densities of states of the three minerals.
Planktonic cnidarian responses to contrasting thermohaline and circulation seasonal scenarios in a tropical western boundary current system
Authors: Giachini Tosetto Everton , Bertrand Arnaud , Neumann-Leitão Sigrid , Costa da Silva Alex , Nogueira Júnior Miodeli
Published: December 2022

Abstract. In western boundary current systems (WBCSs), strong
currents flow coastward carrying oceanic water masses and their associated
planktonic fauna. Variation in the intensity of these currents and in the
continental runoff may affect the dynamic interplay between oceanic and
coastal communities. In addition, changes in the continental runoff and the
thermohaline structure modulate the primary production, adding complexity to
the dynamics of these oligotrophic systems. These dynamics likely shape the
planktonic cnidarian communities. To further understand such relationships,
we used a comprehensive dataset encompassing samples collected above the
shelf and slope and around oceanic seamounts and islands of the Fernando de
Noronha Ridge in the western tropical South Atlantic, in two seasons
characterised by distinct thermohaline structure and circulation patterns.
Results show that in the tropical South Atlantic and, likely, other western
boundary systems with narrow continental shelves, coastward currents spread
oceanic waters and their associated cnidarian species over the continental
shelf. However, while both coastal and oceanic communities co-occur when the
continental runoff is notable, oceanic species dominate almost the entire
shelf during the dry season characterised by a stronger boundary current
intensity. We also conclude that when the mixed-layer depth and associated
nutricline are shallower, the enhanced primary productivity supports larger
populations of planktonic cnidarian species through a bottom–up control.

A new process-based model designed to develop a methodology for the inventory of green- house gas emissions from peatbog soils is presented. Within the framework of the general model, a new parameterized formula for calculating methane oxidation in the aerated soil layer and the vegetation layer is proposed. The proposed approach is defined as model-empirical, since the theoretical model relies on the use of values of model parameters determined by a specially developed experimental procedure. A detailed description of the model calibration by means of experimental studies of soil samples is given. Examples of the calculated dependences of methane and carbon dioxide flux densities on the peatbog water level are presented. A comparison with data on methane fluxes measured in boreal bogs demonstrated a satisfactory consistence of the calculated and measured values.
La afectividad organizada. De la teoría de la guerra de Maquiavelo a la teoría del populismo de Laclau
Authors: Laleff Ilieff Ricardo
Published: December 2022

El trabajo analiza el estatuto de los afectos en los procesos de subjetivación política atendiendo al debate sobre el populismo y sobre la obra de Ernesto Laclau. Para ello apela a la teoría de la guerra moderna de Nicolás Maquiavelo y de Carl von Clausewitz abonando, a su vez, una comprensión más acabada sobre el rol de los afectos en la gestación de un grupo o unidad política. Sin embargo, en el artículo se analiza por qué la teoría de la guerra debe ser inscripta en una reflexión política de más largo alcance que se pregunte, a su vez, por la organización afectiva y sus niveles de heterogeneidad inerradicables. En ese marco, es que se apela a la teoría psicoanalítica de raigambre lacaniana.

Published: December 2022

This research studies the effects of the religiosity on financial technology (fintech) adoption. The study examines religiosity as part of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) dimensions for the adoption of mobile payment technology. We explore the role of religiosity in TAM and recommend several policies for related organizations. The study uses professional sample calculation from 113 traditional markets under Perumda Pasar Jaya as a business entity whose capital is wholly or mostly owned by the regional government through regional assets of DKI Jakarta Province, Indonesia, which use mobile payment technology. We obtained 363 respondents from June 2020 to June 2021, coinciding with the Covid-19 pandemic. Hypothesis testing was done employing SmartPLS 3.2.9 software and questionnaires. The study also adapts previous studies to ensure the questionnaires are relevant to the research objects. The research result show that religiosity explained the formation of TAM by small businesses in traditional markets under Perumda Pasar Jaya Management. Religiosity and the adoption of mobile payment technology determined whether a user used fintech or not. As the research period was limited to June 2020 - June 2021, including field research in the traditional markets, newer TAM mobile payment technology development and other TAM mobile payment-based research were not included. This research offers a new TAM development model using religiosity for mobile payment adoption in traditional markets.

Authors: Adam Muhammad , Ibrahim Mahdani , Putra Teuku Roli Ilhamsyah , Yunus Mukhlis
Published: December 2022

Word-of-mouth (WOM) has been recognized as one of the most influential forms of information transmission. Advances in information technology and the emergence of online social networking sites have changed the manner in which data is delivered. This phenomenon has an impact on consumers because readily accessible information can significantly influence consumption-related decisions. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of e-WOM in mediating the influence of the marketing mix and destination image on the intention of tourists to re-visit destinations. The primary data was derived from 190 tourist respondents and collected by means of questionnaires distributed via Google forms. The resulting data was analyzed using AMOS-SEM, while evaluating the role of e-WOM as a model involving a Sobel test. The results of the analysis indicated that e-WOM plays a highly significant role in piquing individual's' interest in re-visiting tourist sites. Contributory factors such as the marketing mix, destination image, and e-WOM all support this research hypothesis.

Published: December 2022

This study attempts to analyze the antecedents of e-commerce user behavior and their effect on future purchase intentions. Theoretical exploration shows that the antecedents used in the behavior of e-commerce users are perceived self-efficacy, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. The study uses the behavior of e-commerce users as a mediating variable. The study was also conducted using a quantitative method, by distributing questionnaires to 250 e-commerce users in Indonesia. The analysis technique used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS software. The results show that perceived self-efficacy had a positive effect on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. These three antecedents in turn have a positive and significant effect on future e-commerce shopping interest by using mediation of user behavior. The results are theoretically useful for deepening Technology Acceptance Model exploration by estimating future buying behavior and interest. Practically, this study encourages e-commerce platform website developers to increase the ease and usefulness to increase the positive behavior of users in purchasing products.

ntroduction: Oral health is a fundamental right for the individual regardless of age or living environment. Given the repercussions that the alteration of oral health could make in the daily life of an individual. It was a question in this work of determining the oral state of the patients of the dental unit in the District hospital of Mbanga. Methodology: We carried out a cross-sectional descriptive study with an analytical aim carried out from April 12, 2021 to July 13, 2021 at the Mbanga District Hospital. It included any patient coming to consult the odontostomatology department who had given informed consent. A data sheet was used as a collection tool and data analysis was done on SPSS version 26. Results: We had a sample of 81 patients with a sex ratio of 1.4. The average age was 35 years old with the extremes of 2 years and 81 years. The main reason for consultation was dental pain 40.7%. The caries risk was 4.07. We had 62.5% of patients over the age of 45 years old had poor oral hygiene. Up to 88.9% of patients required a scaling. It was revealed that 29.6% needed a dental prosthesis and 55.6% a dental extraction. Conclusion: The oral state of the populations is approximate or even deleterious despite the presence of an equipped dental office in the locality. Action on certain determinants could positively influence the oral health of these populations.

One of the most common causes of chronic abdominal pain is ‘Chronic Abdominal Wall Pain, “CAWP”, which frequently goes undiagnosed. CAWP accounts for 10-30% of patients in surgical, gynecological, and gastrointestinal clinics who have a primary complaint of persistent abdominal pain. CAWP, on the other hand, may be treated quickly and efficiently using a neuro intervention approach. This study provides a real-world example of a 40-year-old man who has CAWP in the right bottom quadrant. Endoscopic, imaging and biochemical results were all normal. With a positive Carnett’s sign and probable CAWP, she was given an ultrasound-guided injection of 2 percent lidocaine in the suspected nerve entrapment location, with no recurrence discomfort. Significant CAWP management include reassurance, activity moderation, physical therapy, and pain control. Local anesthetic and steroid injection can be used for both diagnostic and curative purposes. There is an evident lack of knowledge regarding the diagnosis and treatment of AWPs among physicians. However, a sensitive and straightforward finding (Carnett’s Sign) in the physical examination can help quickly diagnose AWPs which in turn, in many cases, can be treated effectively.

Background: Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare, medium-sized arteriopathy affecting less than 7% of the population. It affects predominantly young women of childbearing age. Stroke caused by fibromuscular dysplasia of the carotid artery is uncommon and reported to range between 0.6% by angiography and 1.1% by autopsy. Case presentation: A 35-year-old mother of two children, previously well, was admitted to our hospital with right-sided spastic hemiparesis with upper motor neuron type facial nerve palsy. Non-contrast CT (NCCT) brain on admission revealed left-sided middle cerebral arterial territory infarction with possible hemorrhagic transformation with midline shift. She had progressive neurological features where NCCT brain in 24 hours showed an increase in the size of the hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, including angiogram of neck vessels, revealed acute dissection of the left internal carotid artery with acute thrombosis, left frontoparietal hemorrhagic infarction, and the constellation of MRI showed features suggestive of left cervico-cranial fibromuscular dysplasia complicated by acute internal carotid artery dissection. She was started on low-dose aspirin, and 40 mg of atorvastatin and anticoagulants were not started because of the bleeding risk as she had a hemorrhagic transformation infarction. She was discharged and referred for inward physiotherapy and planned to repeat the MRI brain with the neck vessel angiogram in three weeks and arranged digital subtraction angiography in three months. Unfortunately, she was lost for follow-up. Conclusion: Detailed evaluation of the young patients with ischaemic stroke is helpful to diagnose rare diseases such as FMD involving carotid arteries leading to a better treatment choice between anticoagulation vs. antiplatelet therapy
Recognizing and segmenting particles inside the respiratory system using texture descriptor and deep learning approaches

The study of aerosol deposition and bronchial tube flows in the human respiratory system can assistance improve an understanding of the damaging or beneficial effects of the inhalation of lung aerosols. In this study, we propose a strategy for segmenting the decomposition of particles inside the respiratory system. Firstly, a texture descriptor method is used to represent more unique features for obtaining the border of each particle more accurately. Next, the original image and the encoded image are applied to a Convolutional Neural Network model to generate the edge map of the input image. Lastly, a circle fitting approach to compare each object with a lot of potential circles is employed to find the best match and recognize the object. A comparison of the results obtained in this study with some texture descriptor approaches is demonstrated the good performance of our model.
On the lexical evidence of the concept of “leader” in Middle Persian and Arabic languages

In New Persian (hereafter NP) there are more than two dozen Arabic borrowings, attested in different dictionaries and partly still using today for the concept of "leader" [8], while most of the words for the same concept in Middle Persian (hereafter MP) are of Iranian origin. The present article introduces and examines the lexemes attested in Middle Persian and Arabic with the meaning "leader, leader, commander". The choice of the Middle Persian language is due to the task of showing the features of the public perception of the concept "leader" and its expressions at the linguistic extent in Sassanid Iran, still free from strong Arab influence. On the other hand, the choice of Arabic is due to the fact that it shows the enormous influence that the Arab world had already in the post-Sassanid period on the Iranians' perception of the concept of "leader", and, consequently, the Arabic language itself, in the level of linguistic thought, in the face of Arabic borrowings to denote the concept of "leader" in NP. The Arabic loanwords in NP, used for the concept of "leader", are presented in the authors' previous paper [8], because of which the present examination is limited in the presentation of the denotants of the concept of "leader" only in Sasanian Middle Persian and Arabic.
Dripping down the rivulet

Published: December 2022

We revisit the canonical Rayleigh-Taylor instability and investigate the case of a thin film of liquid continuously flowing down the underside of an inclined plane. The presence of a natural flow along the plane competes with the conventional droplet forming instability and gives rise to an intricate pattern formation, which is studied experimentally, numerically and theoretically using the lubrication equation. We observe the prevalence of streamwise-invariant structures, modulated along the transverse direction perpendicular to the flow direction, called rivulets. We determine the universal thickness profile towards which they saturate and explore the origin of this pattern selection by analyzing the impulse response as well as the response to localized defect on the substrate. We eventually discuss the role of these hydrodynamic instabilities on the morphogenesis of some typical karst draperies structures encountered in limestone caves.
Fluid structure interactions of a microcapsule in flow: when numerical modeling meet experiments
Authors: Salsac Anne-Virginie
Published: December 2022

Encapsulation consists in enclosing an internal medium in a solid semi-permeable membrane to protect it and control the exchanges with the environment. Being at the source of innovative applications in the fields of biotechnologies, pharmacology, or food industry, capsules offer tremendous potential in the process engineering world. But scientific challenges remain to be met, such as finding the optimal compromise between payload and membrane thickness, characterizing the membrane resistance and controlling the moment of rupture. We will explore the challenges to use deformable liquid-core capsules of micrometric size to efficiently transport active material, with a primary focus on health-related applications. Being used suspended in a carrying fluid in flow, microcapsules constitute a formidable problem of complex fluid-structure interactions. I will present how the three-dimensional capsule-flow interactions may be modeled and how these sophisticated numerical models can dialogue with microfluidic experimentations to produce innovative techniques to characterize the mechanical properties of deformable capsules, sort them upon their rigidity or enrich suspensions.
Waltzing worms: the dynamics of plant-animal collective vortex structures
Authors: Fortune George
Published: December 2022

Circular milling, a stunning manifestation of collective motion, is found across the natural world, from fish shoals to army ants. It has been observed recently that the plant-animal worm Symsagittifera roscoffensis exhibits circular milling behaviour, both in shallow pools at the beach and in Petri dishes in the laboratory. Here in this talk, we investigate this phenomenon, through experiment and theory, from a fluid dynamical viewpoint, focusing on the effect that an established circular mill has on the surrounding fluid. Unlike systems such as confined bacterial suspensions and collections of molecular motors and filaments that exhibit spontaneous circulatory behaviour, and which are modelled as force dipoles, the front-back symmetry of individual worms precludes a stresslet contribution. Instead, singularities such as source dipoles and Stokes quadrupoles are expected to dominate. A series of theoretical models is presented to understand the contributions of these singularities to the azimuthal flow fields generated by a mill, in light of the particular boundary conditions that hold for flow in a Petri dish. A model that treats a circular mill as a rigid rotating disc that generates a Stokes flow is shown to capture basic experimental results well, and gives insights into the emergence and stability of multiple mill systems.
