THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BEHAVIORAL BIASES AND STRATEGIC DECISION-MAKING: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM EMERGENT MARKET
Authors: Gharbi Manel , Jarboui Anis
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of managers’ behavioral biases on strategic decisions. Specifically, this paper examines the impact of, overconfidence, risk aversion, control illusion, and emotional intelligence on the diversification decision. The data were collected from Tunisian managers. It uses a Sample of 111 respondents representing different segments of Tunisian companies. The logistic regression analysis was utilized to control the impact of behavioral biases on decision-making. Findings suggest that managers have different attitudes toward decision-making. While overconfidence and control illusion negatively affect decision making, risk aversion, and intelligence emotions show a positive effect on decision-making. Empirically, the authors' results can serve as a reference for decision-makers to clarify data on the psychological role. Theoretically, the researchers found that the differences between the results are due to the quality of data collection or to the method of evaluation of the decision-making strategy.

Authors: Karaca İbrahim , Güzel Nevin A , Demir Erdem
Published: January 2024

Aims: Aim of this study was to determine hamstring activation during flywheel (FW) exercises, identify differences between
muscles and classify the exercises.
Methods: Exercises were done by professional footballers and electromyography data from hamstring muscles were recorded and normalized according to maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC). Differences between muscles and with-in exercises were compared with repeated measures ANOVA and categorized according to their intensity.
Results: The Exercise variable had significant differences (F(3.1,81.5)=96.5, p<0.05) but the muscles variable F(1,26)=2.24,
p>0.05) and Exercise*Muscle interaction effect (F(3.1,81.5)=0.97, p>0.05) were not a significantly different. During Romanian
Dead Lift, Single Leg Dead Lift, Leg Curl and Single Leg Hamstring Bridge determined over 80% activation according to
MVIC for biceps femoris (BF) and medial hamstring (MH) with not significantly different between each other and they
were categorized as high-intensity FW exercises (p>.05). During Bilateral Squat for both musclewere determined below 50%
according to MVIC and it was categorized as low-intensity FW exercise. During Single Leg Squat and LUNGE in the MH were
below 50% according to MVIC, these exercises were categorized as low-intensity FW exercises and in the BF in the range of 50-80% according to MVIC so they were categorized as medium-intensity FW exercises.
Conclusion: With this study, both parts of the hamstring contract similarly during the selected FW exercises. Low or moderate intensity FW exercises can be used in the early stages of rehabilitation or preventive hamstring exercise programs, while high intensity ones can be used in later processes.

Authors: Kurt Mehmet , Ocak Bilgehan , Canlı Enes Alptekin , Yılmaz Selçuk , Demirkıran Nihat Demirhan
Published: January 2024

Acute septic arthritis is an orthopedic emergency that requires rapid diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious complications, morbidity, and mortality. Delayed or inadequate treatment can lead to irreversible joint damage. Risk factors for septic arthritis include previous joint pathologies like rheumatoid arthritis and crystal arthropathy, joint prostheses, low socioeconomic status, and diabetes. Given the increasing frequency of cases of septic arthritis infected with resistant and rare microorganisms, knowing regional epidemiological data is important and necessary for planning treatment approaches. The aim of this article is to present a case of bilateral knee septic arthritis caused by Bacillus spp. as a pathogen. The blood parameters and joint fluid culture of the patient led to the diagnosis of bilateral septic arthritis. In the differential diagnosis of a hot and swollen joint, especially in the presence of risk factors, septic arthritis should be considered until ruled out. It should not be forgotten that opportunistic pathogens can also cause septic arthritis.

Published: January 2024

Novel non-thermal food processing and preservation methods is in demand due to reduced nutritional modification after the processes. There are several non-thermal processing techniques are in practice, in that Cold Plasma (CP) technology is one of the low cost and energy efficient technique. Plasma is a form of ionized gas (containing balanced charges of ions and electrons) that is generated by a neutral gas. Plasma can interact and destruct microbial cells, spores and viruses by etching. Plasma can be generated in four different modes, using different techniques. Cold plasma technique is effective in pathogenic microbial decontamination which are present in food grains, meat products, milk, fruits and vegetables. It can also be used in effluent treatment in food industry because food industry sewage contains more reactive oxygen species. In addition to these cold plasma technique has some limitations while treating the sensitive food products due to degradation of oligosaccharides and lipid oxidation. These review article discuss the different cold plasma production techniques and its application in food processing industries.

Published: January 2024

A literatura e o teatro possuem suas artes muito próximas, pois uma é a extensão da outra como em  uma simbiose, tendo vista, que a literatura, por meio das palavras habilmente entrelaçadas, oferece uma janela para a imaginação, permitindo que leitores explorem mundos fictícios, mergulhem em experiências emocionais e compreendam a complexidade da condição humana. O teatro, por sua vez, leva a narrativa a um nível mais visceral, proporcionando uma experiência única de comunicação entre artistas e plateia. Deste modo,  o teatro implica na representação ao vivo, permitindo que as histórias ganhem vida, proporcionando uma conexão imediata e intensa com os espectadores. Por isso, a simbiose entre literatura e o teatro se torna um importante mecanismo para manter a cultura de uma determinada região, bem como construir a identidade dos sujeitos. Deste modo, o presente artigo tem como escopo apresentar o texto dramático teatral do escritor João de Jesus Paes Loureiro, Cutia De Ouro a partir das características dos elementos teatral, enredo, espaço e tempo e personagem e analisar como o autor apresenta o imaginário mítico em sua obra. A metodologia empregada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica de cunho qualitativo, para obter conhecimento sobre o objeto de estudo.  Em síntese, os resultados apontam que o autor   evidencia o imaginário através da apresentação dos personagens que representam as figuras míticas presente no contexto de acordo com a região onde os fatos foram narrados.

Authors: Araújo Luísa Elena de Mélo , Soares Pedro Gustavo Cavalcanti
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo aborda a adaptação do sistema judicial brasileiro à era digital. O foco recai sobre o Processo Judicial Eletrônico (PJe), amplamente adotado pelo Judiciário brasileiro nessa migração, com seu início na jurisdição de Pernambuco em 2011. Embora a mudança para o formato eletrônico tenha trazido vantagens significativas, como a otimização do espaço físico, melhorias ambientais e uma maior acessibilidade ao Judiciário, surgiu um desafio crítico: a inacessibilidade do PJe para pessoas com deficiência visual. Essas pessoas dependem de tecnologias assistivas para navegar na internet, e as páginas da web precisam aderir às diretrizes do World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) para garantir a acessibilidade universal. No entanto, os deficientes visuais relatam que o PJe é incompatível com suas tecnologias assistivas, prejudicando seu uso efetivo. O presente artigo trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica e do resultado de entrevista semiestruturada, onde buscou se compreender as estratégias desenvolvidas por servidor deficiente visual para tornar o PJe acessível às suas necessidades, onde as conclusões apontam para a necessidade de ações para preencher a lacuna de inclusão dos servidores com deficiência visual no uso do sistema PJe. Essas ações podem incluir treinamento específico e atualizações para garantir que o sistema seja verdadeiramente acessível a todos os usuários, independentemente de suas capacidades visuais.

Authors: Graça Lueny Ribeiro , Costa Flávio Nogueira da , Juvêncio Beatriz Alves , Capibaribe Victor Celso Cavalcanti
Published: January 2024

As doenças crônicas afetam milhões de pessoas no mundo todo, principalmente indivíduos a partir dos 50 anos, tornando-os consumidores expressivos de medicamentos para combate e controle das comorbidades, quando comparadas a outras faixas etárias. O grande número de prescrições medicamentosas eleva o número de situações negativas, culminadas principalmente por excesso e uso inadequado de medicamentos. Em sua maioria essas situações negativas ocorrem devido à falta de acompanhamento farmacêutico durante a farmacoterapia. Para o desenvolvimento do presente estudo, foram coletadas informações por meios de questionários respondidos por pessoas acima de 50 anos no município de Itacoatiara -Amazonas. Este estudo obteve resultados nos quais confirmaram que 91,7% dos respondentes possuem doença crônica, sendo 91,1% portadores Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS), e 26,7% portadores da Diabetes Mellitus, tendo ainda pessoas acometidos com as duas comorbidades ou mais. Sobre o fumo e o consumo de bebidas alcóolicas, 50%, dos respondentes relataram que não são mais fumantes, e 33,3% dos respondentes afirmaram que já não consomem mais bebidas alcóolicas, respectivamente, devido ao uso de medicamentos para controle de doença crônica. Além disso, esta pesquisa obteve dados no qual cerca de 33,3% dos doentes crônicos respondentes realizam a prática da automedicação, que se refere ao ato de tomar medicamentos por contra própria, sem orientação, e o equivalente a 75% dos respondentes nunca receberam acompanhamento farmacêutico, reforçando ainda mais a necessidade da prática da atenção farmacêutica.
HEGLOVSTVO V POLITOLOGIJI ADOLFA BIBIČA
Authors: Lukšič Igor
Published: January 2024

Bibič se je s Heglom srečal na več ravneh. Neposredno se je lotil Hegla v svojem doktoratu, v katerem je preučeval razmerje med civilno družbo in državo pri Heglu in Marxu. Tu se ni ustavil samo pri Filozofiji prava, temveč se je lotil tudi Fenomenologije duha, ki je ključno Heglovo delo za vstop v heglovski način mišljenja. Za globino teoretskega izraza se je v dvajsetem stoletju izkristalizirala navezava na Helga. Misel, ki zapuščino Hegla obide, je plitka, tista, ki se od Hegla vsaj poskuša učiti, se nameri posegati v globino. Hegel državo kot najvišjo formo v razvoju človeštva postavlja najvišje v hierarhiji oblik bivanja svobode človeštva. Politično pri njem ne biva samo v državi, temveč začenja že v naravni in civilnodružbeni formi, v državi kot svetovnemu procesu pa se samo domojstri. Slovenska politologija je imela to srečo, da se je njen glavni utemeljevalec Adolf Bibič namenil politiko utemeljiti prav ob opori na Hegla. Ključni pojmi: Hegel, heglovstvo, civilna družba, država
JAVNOMNENJSKA ZAZNAVA OKOLJSKE VARNOSTI

Authors: Malešič Marjan
Published: January 2024

Dejstva, ki dokazujejo povezanost okoljskih in varnostnih problemov sodobne družbe, so neizpodbitna, na kar opozarjajo številne znanstvene analize. Vprašanje je, ali se tudi slovenska javnost zaveda te povezanosti in če da, v kolikšni meri, kar proučujemo prek analize podatkov o njenem odnosu do okoljske problematike. Ključna metoda je analiza podatkov raziskav »SJM 2020/3 Odnos do okolja« in »SJM 2011/1 Okolje«. Ugotavljamo, da postaja slovenska javnost vse bolj občutljiva za okoljske probleme, vendar pa skrbi zaradi le-teh niso tako izrazite, kot bi predpostavili na podlagi argumentov in podatkov o pogostosti in intenzivnosti podnebnih nesreč, okoljskega terorizma in kriminala, nasilja ob državljanskih nemirih, okoljskih migrantov ter oboroženih spopadov, ki so tudi okoljsko pogojeni. Nekateri od teh pojavov namreč že močno vplivajo na varnost Slovenije in njenih prebivalcev. Ugotavljamo tudi, da okoljske probleme javnost sicer zaznava, da jo skrbijo do določene mere, vendar njihovih posledic ne povezuje v zadostni meri s svojim vsakdanjim življenjem, vključno z varnostjo. Ključni pojmi: okolje, okoljski problemi, viri ogrožanja, okoljska varnost, javnost, zaznava
THE WAR IN UKRAINE IN A COMPARATIVE
PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Bebler Anton
Published: January 2024

The war in Ukraine is the biggest, bloodiest and longest war in Europe since 1945. Its initial stage holds similarities with several other armed conflicts and wars in the last 50 years on Cyprus and in the territories of the former Soviet Union and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). Among the cases in exYugoslavia, greatest similarity is seen with the war in Croatia (1991–1995). This conflict stemmed from two almost simultaneous breakdowns of multinational ‘socialist federations’ and their communist regimes that were similar in structure. The dissimilarity of the second stage of the war in Ukraine and the war in Croatia is primarily due to the processes of NATO and EU enlargement coupled with the USA’s policy of using NATO enlargement and Ukraine as tools to harm and weaken Russia. The conflict about Ukraine and the promise of NATO membership given to it has become an indirect war between Russia and the US-led West, where Ukraine is the West’s proxy and the main victim of the war. Like what occurred in Croatia in August 1995 and in Azerbaijan in September 2023, the final outcome of the war in Ukraine will be decided on the battlefield, not around a diplomatic table. Still, it will be very different from that in Croatia. Responsibility for the war in Ukraine and its consequences must be shared between the two direct belligerents, the co-responsible USA, and other NATO members. Keywords: Ukraine, Russia, Croatia, USA, NATO, internal war, interstate war
METAPHOR AS A POLITICAL TECHNOLOGY
Authors: Pikalo Jernej , Podobnikar Petra
Published: January 2024

Discussions of political metaphors provide fertile grounds for understanding issues in political theory and political practice. The article departs from the established theoretical and methodological approaches to political metaphor (e.g., classical, conceptual, hermeneutical, cognitive) to introduce (post)structuralist and (post)Marxist methodological and theoretical bases. It maintains that the established approaches to the study of functionalities and ontologies of political metaphors are possible, primarily by researching their functioning in political discourses and as events in the power/truth dispositive. Metaphors can be researched as specific political technologies (strategies of power) that influence/create regimes of truth. Keywords: political metaphors, political theory, linguistic theory, political discourse, power, knowledge

Objective. Provide an overview of the scientific production on Information Architecture in the context of Information Science.Method. It is characterized as an exploratory and qualitative-quantitative study which used bibliometric techniques and content analysis. The scientific productions were retrieved from the Information Science Database (BRAPCI) and SCOPUS, as they bring together a significant quantity of productions on IA in the Brazilian and international contexts, respectively.Results. As a result, bibliometric indicators are presented (main authors and means publications, authors' countries of origin, recurring keywords and number of publications per year), and the thematic categories of the productions analysed are highlighted. We highlight the productions that mention IA, but focus on other discussions such as Usability, Accessibility and Findability, pointing out the relevance of IA as complementary to these other studies. Besides the productions with proposal, analysis, or evaluation of digital environments, where it is employed the systemic approach of IA and it was possible to observe that, in the Brazilian context, the applications focus on academic environments and, in the international context, on corporate environments. Conclusions. We conclude that the analysed productions collaborate with the social function of IC, demonstrating concern with the users of information, besides being relevant in the context of the post-custodial paradigm of Information Science, where the dissemination, access and use of information are valued, and, consequently, it is necessary that such information be organized and presented in a suitable way for its target audience.
From Room to Zoom
Authors: Donlon Enda , King Fiona
Published: January 2024

In early 2020, the introduction of COVID-19 restrictions meant that doctoral programmes which depended on face-to-face models for teaching, learning, and interaction needed to quickly reconsider their established practices. Of particular concern was the impact of pandemic restrictions upon the development of a sense of community among doctoral scholars. This article considers the experiences, opinions, and perceptions of one cohort of students regarding the development and facilitation of a sense of community in their professional doctorate programme at a time of unparalleled restrictions around in-person congregation. The findings indicate that students were predominantly positive about both student-led and staff-led initiatives to foster and maintain a sense of community, with the strongest sense of community occurring at the specialism level. Arising from these findings, the article reflects broadly on the effectiveness and value of these community-building activities and their continued relevance for subsequent iterations of the programme in the post-pandemic near-future.
Model for Program Improvement Using Reflections by EdD Scholars About Adaptation During a Pandemic Time
Authors: Hawkins Jacqueline , Martens Monica
Published: January 2024

The results of a reflective survey, used for program evaluation, demonstrate how EdD scholars used their learning about Improvement Science as an insightful lifeline and for practical guidance within their professional practice in an uncertain time. Scholars imparted valuable information to EdD faculty about the strains and challenges they were under. Faculty, in turn, enhanced their choice of content and approaches to teaching about how to manage actionable change and becoming a more reflective and resilient practitioner. In CPED-influenced programs such as ours, this exchange of learning is ongoing and natural, as scholars pitch up problems of practice in need of immediate progress and improvement—sharing insights into strategies (successful or failed)—with faculty. Program learning and enhancements, in light of our students' lived experience and learnings, are discussed. We conclude with guidance about tools and procedures to navigate turbulence in educational systems.

“Maybe We Have to Create Something Different”: Fostering Inclusion in Montessori Education
Authors: Somma Monique , Ruggiero Lisa , Harwood Debra , Donato Krystine
Published: January 2024

How Does Learning Happen: Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years, the early childhood education framework for Ontario (Canada), aims to guide early-years programs across the province by recognizing children as competent, capable, and curious individuals from diverse backgrounds. The policy highlights the significance of ensuring inclusive learning environments that foster a sense of belonging and enable every child to flourish (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2014). Many Montessori schools across the province share this view (Hunt et al., 2022) and strive for inclusive programs that meet the learning goals of children with special education needs; however, at times, this objective can seem daunting. In this article, we highlight findings from a study involving the educators at one Montessori school focusing on the self-described goal of improving the quality of their inclusive practices through an examination of beliefs and a continuous professional learning process. The main themes identified in the study related to educators’ attitudes to inclusion and their beliefs about how the Montessori method challenges inclusion pedagogies. Moreover, we found that educators’ understanding and implementation of differentiated instruction (Tomlinson & Imbeau, 2023) was lacking. The results indicate that Montessori educators’ inclusive practices and learning environments benefited from participating in ongoing, scaffolded professional learning specifically targeted to their needs and context.

La peste como precariedad moral y violencia: un diálogo entre Camus y Byung-Chul Han
Authors: García Aguilar Juan Francisco
Published: January 2024

El presente texto ofrece un examen sobre la correspondencia que existe entre el deterioro moral y el comportamiento hostil. Con este propósito, la reflexión transita por la querella de carácter ético que tiene lugar en La peste de Albert Camus y por el desvelamiento de una violencia contemporánea que se viste bajo el aspecto de una apremiante autoafirmación de sí, un destape que Byung-Chul Han lleva a cabo en su Topología de la violencia. La llamada que ambos autores lanzan sobre la disposición del espíritu humano que resulta capaz de confirmar este sombrío vínculo o de emanciparnos de él, se convierte en un cometido ante el que el juicio crítico necesita responder.

Կիլիկիայի դասերը. մաս չորրորդ / CILICIA LESSONS: PART FOUR

The Cilician principality, and then the kingdom, is a remarkable example of studying both in terms
of political ideology (doctrine) and foreign and domestic policy in general. Being in a regionally active
zone and objectively in a neighboring hostile environment, both in the principles of its state structure
and in the military-political, administrative and economic levels, it carried the synthesized influence of
East and West. The center of state administration was the Royal Court - Arquniq, which included the
Council of Lords, the Supreme Court and the executive body with its offices. Arquniq, during the time
of the Cilician principality, was headed by a prince, and since 1198 - by a king. The prince/king, as head
of state and supreme master of the country, was endowed with exclusive rights and privileges. Under
his chairmanship, meetings of the Council of Masters were convened, the decisions of which, like laws,
were approved and published in his own name. The prince/king of Cilicia was the commander-in-chief
of the troops, he could declare war, conclude peace, and in fact dictated the basic principles of interstate relations. In the fourth part of the series of articles, we will try to analyze the principles of the
foreign policy of the Cilician Principality/Kingdom, including the military-political concept.
Գլոբալ ստարտափ էկոհամակարգի ինդեքս. Հայաստանը Հարավային Կովկասում լավագույնն է / GLOBAL STARTUP ECOSYSTEM INDEX: ARMENIA IS THE BEST IN THE SOUTH CAUCASUS
Authors: TADEVOSYAN Ruzanna
Published: January 2024

The article examines the Global Startup Ecosystem Index, focusing on the rankings of Armenia,
other countries in the region, and the member states of the EAEU, while also analyzing recent dynamics. Armenia boasts the most robust startup ecosystem in the South Caucasus. This can be attributed to
favorable tax legislation, successful private educational initiatives, the presence of several development
organizations, venture funds, angel investor clubs, as well as acceleration and incubation programs.
In the nascent stage of the Armenian startup ecosystem's development, the role of the state should
revolve around providing a conducive tax environment and producing graduates with the requisite
quality education.
