Published: February 2025

A timely and accurate understanding of spatial-temporal evolution patterns and the development status of cities is essential for effective urban planning. This study utilized NPP/VIIRS nighttime light (NTL) data from 2012 to 2021 to extract the built-up areas of 34 prefecture-level and county-level cities in Sichuan Province. Key indicators, including the urban center of gravity, standard deviation ellipse, expansion speed, expansion intensity, fractal dimension, and compactness, were employed to analyze urban spatial patterns across three stages. The findings reveal that the urban center of gravity in Sichuan Province shifted from northeast to southeast, with cities dispersed in the northwest-southeast direction and clustered in the northeast-southwest direction. Prefecture-level cities generally exhibited high or medium speed to lower development levels, evolving towards relatively low and low intensity expansion, while county-level cities expanded more slowly at low intensity. Furthermore, better-developed cities are primarily located in the eastern region of Sichuan. Throughout the study period, outlying expansion was the predominant urban expansion model, and the spatial evolution of cities demonstrated considerable diversification. This research offers valuable insights into the sustainable development and planning of cities in Sichuan Province.

Authors: Jiang Ying
Published: February 2025

This study explores the relationship between organizational capital and executive excess compensation, alongside the moderating role of digital transformation on this relationship. Using a dataset from China covering the period from 2011 to 2023, the research finds a robust positive correlation between organizational capital and executive excess compensation, suggesting that higher organizational capital leads to greater executive rewards. Furthermore, the study identifies a significant negative moderating effect of digital transformation, indicating that as digital transformation intensifies, the positive relationship between organizational capital and excess compensation weakens. This research contributes to existing literature by offering new empirical insights and re-examining organizational capital through the frameworks of agency theory and the resource-based view.

Diante da hipercomplexidade social, debate-se sobre o reconhecimento de direitos e a possibilidade de sua efetiva fruição. A cidadania contemporânea, não obstante ser intrínseca à luta de movimentos sociais, também está sujeita à ordem hierárquica social do capitalismo. O desenvolvimento estimulado pela luta para adquirir direitos e gozá-los, ainda que essencial na modelagem da cidadania, não elimina preconceitos. Logo, o proveito do cidadão àquilo que lhe pertence e lhe deve ser ofertado pela Administração Pública como serviço público, é forma de fazê-lo pertencer à comunidade. Nesse contexto, este estudo tem por objetivo estimular o debate inicial acerca da efetiva cidadania concretizada em meio à atual digitalização dos serviços públicos. Para isso, foi adotada uma metodologia dedutiva de revisão bibliográfica e de dispositivos legais, para examinar doutrinas clássicas no tema combinadas com a legislação que estabelece as bases para o fornecimento de serviços públicos por meio digital, com o intuito de construir pensamento crítico sobre as implicações da adesão às novas tecnologias pela Administração Pública. Ainda, busca-se explorar a necessidade de observância de garantias fundamentais, em especial, aquelas intrínsecas aos cidadãos mais vulneráveis nesse cenário digital. Assim, o estudo justifica-se pela necessidade de, numa sociedade ainda profundamente desigual, refletir sobre as mudanças digitais e estimular a adoção de medidas públicas que promovam a ampla inserção social ao meio cibernético, sobretudo com especial atenção à parcela da população marginalizada, visando, assim, cooperar para efetivação de uma cidadania digital em sua plenitude a todos.

As e-Commerce continues and banking grows, shifting our shopping preference and money transferring from the physical to online marketplace, we leave behind digital traces of our personally identifiable details. For ex- ample, the merchant keeps record of your name and ad- dress; the payment processor stores your transaction details including account or card information, and every website you visit stores other information such as your device address and type. Cyber criminals keep robbing and use part of this information in fraud cases of identity, with tragic effects on the accountholders; but equally terrible to the card issuing bodies and payment processors, against whom financial liability most often falls. On the whole, we conclude that data is readily breached in this digital world and individual information like a credit card number, password, personal identification number and account details can be easily stolen and used by someone else. However, there is much data relating to a person's behaviour biometrics that are nearly impossible to steal, such as the way they type on a keyboard, move the cursor, or whether they normally do so via a mouse, touchpad or trackball. This data, commonly called keystroke, mouse and touchscreen dynamics, can be used to create a unique profile for the

Authors: YAQIAN GE , ISMAIL ISSAREZAL
Published: February 2025

As China's doors opened to the world, an increasing number of Chinese people chose to leave their homeland and seek opportunities abroad. The "migration to Nanyang" , the largest and most far-reaching cross-border migration wave in modern Chinese history, not only led Chinese migrants in the Nanyang region to uphold their ethnic beliefs, customs, and festivals but also fostered the development of a unique Chinese cultural identity in the area. This study constructs a conceptual framework and adopts qualitative research methods, integrating observation and literature analysis, to examine three festival-themed artworks by Chinese immigrant artists in Nanyang (Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chinese New Year). The research aims to explore the cultural identity of Nanyang Chinese toward traditional Chinese festivals and its multifaceted representations. These artworks not only reflect the migrants' adherence to festival customs, decorations, foods, and activities but also highlight their efforts to preserve and practice the spirit of Chinese culture within a foreign environment.

Published: February 2025

This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals' well-being, focusing on the interplay between income reduction, mental health, preventive measures, and overall happiness. Using an online survey of 215 respondents, the study employs principal component analysis (PCA), structural equation modeling (SEM), and descriptive statistics to analyze key relationships between income loss, mental health, COVID-19 precautions, and happiness. The results reveal a significant negative correlation between income loss and happiness, indicating that financial insecurity during the pandemic adversely affected well-being. Mental health also played a critical role in shaping happiness, while adherence to COVID-19 precautions had a positive influence on well-being. However, the direct link between income loss and mental health was found to be insignificant. The study underscores the complex interdependencies between financial stability, mental health, and precautionary behaviors in determining individual well-being during a global health crisis. Policymakers should prioritize mental health interventions, income support programs, and public health measures to mitigate the pandemic's adverse effects. Expanding access to counseling services, strengthening social support systems, and reinforcing adherence to COVID-19 precautions will be essential in enhancing public well-being. The findings provide a foundation for future research on crisis-driven well-being determinants.
The impact of debt on tax avoidance: Evidence from companies listed on the Korean stock market
Authors: Kwon Gee-Jung
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the impact of corporate debt levels on tax avoidance among companies listed on the Korean stock market from 2001 to 2023. Using eight empirical models, the analysis examines the relationship between corporate debt and firm value (Models 1–4) and the effects of debt level fluctuations on corporate value (Models 5–8). The findings indicate that corporate debt serves as a mitigating factor for tax avoidance, as evidenced by a negative correlation between debt levels and tax avoidance measures (DDBTD, BTD). This supports the primary hypothesis that higher corporate debt levels are associated with lower tax avoidance activities. Additionally, changes in debt levels, whether increases or decreases, consistently exhibit a negative relationship with tax avoidance. This result reinforces the secondary hypothesis that fluctuations in corporate debt further reduce tax avoidance behavior. These findings suggest that Korean listed firms utilizing external debt financing to enhance internal cash flow and benefit from interest expense deductions tend to engage less in tax avoidance. This study contributes to the literature on corporate financial behavior by highlighting the role of debt financing in shaping tax planning strategies. The results provide practical implications for policymakers and corporate decision-makers concerned with tax compliance and financial management.
Level of chemical element content in serum of thyroid cancer patients as a potential biomarkers for thyroid cancer
Authors: Jaafar Zahraa Ali
Published: February 2025

The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and growth through the production of thyroid hormones. Trace elements are vital for the proper functioning of the thyroid and are implicated in various thyroid disorders, including autoimmune diseases and malignancies. Among these trace elements, iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and magnesium (Mg) have been closely studied for their impact on thyroid health. The imbalance or deficiency of these elements can interfere with thyroid function and potentially contribute to the development of thyroid pathologies. This study aimed to investigate the serum levels of several trace elements—zinc, copper, iron, manganese, and magnesium—in patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer, specifically comparing these levels with those in healthy controls. The primary objective was to identify any correlations between trace element concentrations and the occurrence of thyroid malignancies to understand their potential role in the development and progression of thyroid cancer. The study included 45 thyroid cancer patients, consisting of 31 individuals with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and 14 with follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), as well as 45 healthy controls. Serum concentrations of zinc, copper, iron, manganese, and magnesium were measured and compared between the two groups. Statistical analyses were performed to assess differences in the concentrations of these trace elements and to determine any significant relationships with thyroid cancer occurrence. The study found a statistically significant increase in the serum levels of copper and manganese in thyroid cancer patients compared to healthy controls (p < 0.05). Conversely, levels of zinc, iron, and magnesium were significantly lower in the cancer group. These findings indicate a strong association between altered trace element concentrations and the presence of thyroid malignancy, particularly copper and manganese, which were elevated in the serum of cancer patients. Furthermore, the data suggest that deficiencies in other trace elements, such as zinc, may also contribute to the pathophysiology of thyroid cancer. The results of this study highlight the potential role of trace elements, particularly copper and manganese, in thyroid cancer development. The observed alterations in trace element levels may serve as useful biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of thyroid cancer. Further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms connecting trace element imbalances with thyroid malignancies and to develop targeted therapeutic strategies aimed at correcting these deficiencies to improve patient outcomes.

This paper explores the dynamics of the personal adoption process, specifically focusing on how diffused information and consumer knowledge can accelerate the acceptance of experienced products. The study employs an experimental approach to investigate the multifaceted impacts of brand information on consumer behavior, using newly launched Japanese beef in the Vietnamese market as a case study. Through a direct survey of 480 consumers and a rigorous two-stage analysis, the study evaluates the interplay between individual knowledge and diffused information in shaping adoption behaviors. The findings indicate that enhancing brand information during the introduction phase significantly boosts consumer adoption. Moreover, the influence of information wanes over time, emphasizing the necessity for ongoing marketing efforts. These insights underscore the importance of customizing information strategies to bridge knowledge gaps and mitigate biases, ultimately facilitating the successful market entry and adoption of new products.

Pemahaman hadis-hadis itu melandasi perumusan tujuan, obyek, materi berbentuk rincian program gerakan sedekah sampah, serta melandasi pendekatan dakwah pemberdayaan khususnya aspek pemungkinan dan penguatan. Karakter dakwah pemberdayaan menjadikan masyarakat juga turut dilibatkan sebagai subyek dakwah, metode dakwah ditekankan pada dialog serta partisipasi bersama. Untuk pendekatan dakwah pemberdayaan berupa penyokongan dan pemeliharaan secara teknis tidak didasarkan dari pemahaman hadis secara langsung, namun dirumuskan sesuai kebutuhan agar living hadis yang diharapkan dapat terwujud.

Published: February 2025

Artikel ini membahas perbandingan narasi pada cerpen dakwah berjudul Dongeng Penunggu Surau dan Rumah Tuhan Al-Fatihah. Tujuan artikel ini hendak menemukan variasi menyusun narasi untuk menyampaikan tema tantangan meramaikan masjid. Rumusan tersebut dikaji secara kualitatif deskriptif, dengan cara membandingkan unsur-unsur narasi dan struktur narasi dari dua cerpen tersebut. Temuan yang dihasilkan: tokoh-tokoh pada cerpen pertama memiliki karakter yang konvensional dan pasrah, cerpen kedua tokoh-tokohnya memiliki karakter inisiatif dan terbuka. Rangkaian perbuatan tokoh pada cerpen pertama cenderung hanya menunggu kedatangan jamaah, sedangkan pada perbuatan tokoh pada cerpen kedua lebih inisiatif dan kreatif. Latar yang digunakan pada cerpen pertama di wilayah pedesaan, sedangkan cerpen kedua tidak terlalu menonjolkan latarnya. Cerpen pertama menggunakan sudut pandang orang ketiga, sedangkan cerpen kedua menggunakan sudut pandang orang pertama. Cerpen pertama menggunakan struktur narasi dimulai dari gangguan – puncak masalah – berdamai dengan masalah. Sedangkan cerpen kedua menggunakan struktur narasi dimulai dari gangguan – upaya penyelesaian – keseimbangan. Temuan ini merupakan referensi bagi dai ketika menulis cerpen yang temanya sudah pernah digunakan, agar pesan dakwah tersebut bisa ditekankan kembali kepada mad’u dengan cara yang berbeda.

Published: February 2025

Dakwah yang berorientasi pada pemberdayaan komunitas muslim marginal di perkotaan ternyata memiliki kompleksitas tersendiri. Kondisi pemiskinan struktural akibat globalisasi dan berkembangnya subkulltur inferioritas dikalangan marginal perkotaan menyulitkan mereka untuk mengadopsi gagasan kemandirian dalam rangka keluar dari belenggu kemiskinan. Apalagi hingga saat ini belum ada satupun studi terdahulu yang membahas terkait penerapan difusi inovasi sehingga program pemberdayaan dapat diadopsi dengan tepat. Oleh karenanya studi ini mengambil fokus kajian pada strategi difusi inovasi gagasan kemandirian yang dikontekstualisasikan dalam norma sistem Islam perkotaan dalam rangka mengembangkan metodologi dakwah bil hal pada komunitas marginal. Berdasarkan atas asumsi tersebut tulisan ini dikembangkan dengan metode pustaka analitik dengan menggunakan kerangka teori Rogers tentang proses difusi inovasi. Adapun hasil studi menemukan bahwa tahapan penyadaran dalam pemberdayaan sejalan dengan proses difusi inovasi pada kalangan marginal dengan mengutamakan pada pemilihan saluran komunikasi interpersonal dan forum media pada tahap pengenalan. Sedangkan pada tahap persuasif, agen perlu bekerjasama dengan tokoh lokal di kalangan marginal untuk membentuk sikap positif terhdap gagasan kemandirian lewat pemanfaatan aset sekitar. Adapun pada tahap keputusan dan konfirmasi agen perlu melakukan pendampingan lewat saluran media sosial dan aksi nyata dalam melaksanakan program pemberdayaan berbasis aset lokal setempat.

Cây Diếp cá, ngoài công dụng là một loại rau, còn là một trong những cây dược liệu từ lâu đã được Đông y dùng chữa các bệnh về tiêu hóa, phát ban, tắc sữa. Mục tiêu của nghiên cứu là phân lập và định danh được một dòng vi khuẩn nội sinh ở cây Diếp cá có khả năng cố định đạm cao. Mười một dòng (chủng) vi khuẩn được phân lập từ vùng rễ của cây Diếp cá thu từ huyện Châu Thành, tỉnh Tiền Giang trên môi trường Nutrient agar (NA) được khẳng định là vi khuẩn nội sinh nhờ việc kiểm tra với cặp mồi đặc hiệu nhận diện vi khuẩn nội sinh. Trong 11 dòng phân lập chỉ có 6 dòng có khả năng cố định đạm. Trong đó, dòng R03 tốt nhất với lượng đạm tổng hợp được là 10,67 mg/L, có tiềm năng cao trong việc ứng dụng để sản xuất phân đạm sinh học. Dòng vi khuẩn R03 được xác định có tỉ lệ tương đồng với Bacillus flexus MP-9 là 99,93 %.  Cây Diếp cá được phun dịch vi khuẩn gốc cho năng suất cao nhất, thể hiện ở khối lượng tươi thu được, cho thấy ảnh hưởng tích cực đến sự sinh trưởng của cây.

2016/46 No expectation of privacy in material obtained during a criminal investigation (UK)

2016/46 No expectation of privacy in material obtained during a criminal investigation (UK)

The Employment Appeal Tribunal (‘EAT’) has upheld an Employment Tribunal’s (‘ET’s’) finding that Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (‘ECHR’) was not engaged when an employer used private material obtained by the police during a criminal investigation as part of an internal disciplinary investigation into one of its employees. This material had been taken from the claimant’s phone by the police, who then provided it to the employer (stating that it could be used for the purposes of their investigation). The facts in this case were unusual. Whether or not an employee has a reasonable expectation of privacy in similar circumstances will depend on all the facts, including the source of the information, whether the employee has expressly objected to its use, and whether the relevant conduct took place in, or was brought into, the workplace.
