Antecedents of Risk Information Sharing & Processing Mechanism in Supply Chain: A social and technical Perspective
Authors: Sobia Anwer  , Salman Ahmed Khatani  , Nabeel Ahmed
Published: November 2024

This paper emphasizes Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), whose execution can boost an organization's resilience and operating performance. Drawing on quantitative data from 231 supply chain professionals in various industries, the results highlight that subcomponents of SCRM—specifically strategy alignment and technology usage—significantly influence risk information sharing, analysis, and evaluation. Abstract Surprisingly, an SCRM-oriented culture does not significantly affect the exchange of risk information or the amount of risk partnership. At the same time, team support has insignificant effects on risk analysis and assessment. From these insights, it is evident that although having a culture of SCRM in place and some team involvement is beneficial, they could not, altogether, pave the way toward the organizational capability of evaluating and disseminating risk-related information. In its place, the emphasis on aligned SCRM strategy and technological advancement in the supply chain sector becomes a critical factor for risk mitigation. This suggests an absolute imperative for managers: to facilitate a technological-enabled SCRM approach that is collaborative, in line with the strategy, and allows integrated information processing. Fortifying these domains can help minimize weaknesses, increase response, and streamline the supply chain performance; continuous monitoring and improvement of information dissemination processes are essential, as they facilitate better risk management across the supply chain network.
Analysing Indonesian words "mencari ilmu," "menuntut ilmu," "menimba ilmu," and "menggali ilmu": An active learning in Indonesia
Authors: Wajdi Majid , Susanto Budi , Mustafa Muhammad , Udoudom Uduak Imoh , Claridad Norberto Fabi
Published: November 2024

This study goes into the rich idioms of the Indonesian language related to learning, specifically focusing on "mencari ilmu" (searching for knowledge), "menuntut ilmu" (demanding knowledge), "menimba ilmu" (drawing water of knowledge), and "menggali ilmu" (unearthing knowledge). These terms provide nuanced perspectives on the nature of active learning in Indonesian culture. The study aims to (1) Analyse the literal and figurative meanings of each term within the context of active learning. (2) Explore how these terms reflect different stages and approaches to the learning process. (3) Highlight the values and principles embedded within each term that contribute to effective learning. The study employs a document analysis approach, meticulously examining existing literature and scholarly works on Indonesian language, education, and cultural values. Additionally, the author, as a native Indonesian speaker, utilizes introspection to provide in-depth insights and personal interpretations of the terms. The analysis reveals subtle differences in meaning and emphasis between the terms, showcasing the multifaceted nature of active learning. Each term illuminates a specific aspect of the learner's role, from the initial spark of curiosity to the dedicated pursuit of knowledge, the patient extraction of established information, and the adventurous exploration of uncharted territories. The study concludes that these Indonesian idioms offer valuable lessons for active learning beyond cultural boundaries. They emphasize the importance of curiosity, determination, effort, and independent exploration in the pursuit of knowledge. Cultivating an active learning mindset empowered by these principles can pave the way for individuals to become lifelong learners and contribute meaningfully to society.
Verb "giving" in Japanese: Review of natural semantic metalanguage
Authors: Sukma Luh Putu Ratnayanti
Published: November 2024

The intricacies of Japanese verbs related to the concept of "giving" present a compelling area of study, reflecting the nuanced nature of language and cultural expression. Despite the significance of these verbs in everyday communication, there has been limited research that systematically maps their semantic distinctions. This study addresses this gap by exploring the meaning configuration of key Japanese verbs associated with the concept of giving. Building on previous linguistic analyses, this research employs the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) theory to provide a more detailed explication of the verbs ageru, kureru, suru, and tsukeru. The data, sourced from "Minna no Nihongo" Volumes I and II as well as internet sources, were collected through an observation method combined with note-taking. The analysis reveals subtle yet significant differences in how these verbs are used, particularly in relation to the types of entities involved and the context of their application. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of Japanese verb semantics, offering valuable insights for both linguistic theory and practical language learning.
Multipenalty and composed merit functions in Tikhonov-type regularization applied to atmospheric source identification problems
Authors: Albani Roseane Alves de Souza , Albani Vinícius Viana Luiz , Silva Neto Antônio José da
Published: November 2024

We propose a technique to simplify the minimization of the objective function arising in Tikhonov-type regularization when there are multiple observations, like multiphysics identification problems, and multiple penalty terms. It breaks the original problem into two or more minimizations that are performed sequentially and recursively. In this preliminary work, we consider the case of two minimization steps. We apply the estimation technique to the identification of pollutant emission sources in the atmosphere, considering the data from the Copenhagen experiment.

Effect of Cooperative Learning Strategy and Conventional Method of Teaching Mathematics on Students’ Achievement in Graph Plotting
Authors: Nwabuaku Louis , Iroriteraye-Adjekpovu Janice Imizuokena
Published: November 2024

The study engaged the quasi-experimental descriptive survey approach to investigate the effect of cooperative learning strategy and conventional methods of teaching mathematics on students' achievement in graph plotting within the Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. The study engaged 70 students from two intact classes of Senior Secondary School two students of Obinomba Mixed Secondary School, Obinomba. The two intact classes were used to represent the experimental and control groups, with the experimental group being taught graph plotting using a cooperative learning strategy and the control group was taught using the conventional method of teaching mathematics. The study lasted for five weeks, and a null hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. The Mathematics Achievement Test on Graph Plotting (MATGP) was used to assess students' achievement in graph plotting for the groups after they received instructional intervention. A reliability of 0.8 was yielded for the instrument using Richard Kuderson-21. The data obtained from the instrument was analyzed using a t-test of independence at p ≤0.05 significance level. The result showed that students in the experimental group performed better than those in the control group. The study thus bridges a knowledge gap that informs the improvement of the methodology engaged in teaching senior secondary school mathematics and promotes science education in secondary schools. The study recommended integrating a cooperative learning strategy in teaching graph plotting in Delta State Secondary Schools, Nigeria.
Dynamic Functional Connectivity in Schizophrenia: A Comprehensive Analysis
Authors: Hasan Kumrul , Saha Kinjol , Hosen Md Nazmul
Published: November 2024

Dynamic Functional Connectivity (DFC) captures temporal variations in brain network interactions, providing insights beyond traditional static connectivity, which is particularly relevant for understanding schizophrenia. This disorder, marked by symptoms like hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and cognitive impairments, has been associated with disruptions in functional networks, especially within the default mode (DMN) and salience networks (SN). However, static analyses overlook the temporal fluctuations essential to these brain functions.
This study examines DFC patterns in schizophrenia patients compared to healthy controls using fMRI data. Employing clustering algorithms and a sliding window approach, we identify connectivity states and measure transition frequencies to reveal how unstable DFC may contribute to cognitive and emotional dysfunctions in schizophrenia. Results indicate that patients experience reduced stability and more frequent transitions in connectivity states within the DMN and SN, which are linked to symptoms like hallucinations and cognitive deficits. Demographic analysis shows that younger patients and males are more susceptible to hallucinatory symptoms, suggesting age- and gender-related vulnerabilities in brain network dynamics.
Our findings support DFC as a valuable tool for understanding schizophrenia’s complex symptomatology and point toward personalized treatment approaches focused on stabilizing brain connectivity to improve clinical outcomes.

Comparison between intralesional triamcinolone and intralesional methotrexate in the treatment of keloid
Authors: Abbas Mohammed , Ali Athraa , Al-Attar Zaid
Published: November 2024

Introduction/Aim. Keloid is a benign proliferative lesion of the dermal connective tissue. It is a challenging clinical problem, despite multiple therapies reported until now. The aim of the study was to determine the efficacy of intralesional methotrexate in the treatment of keloid in comparison to intralesional triamcinolone. Methods. This is an interventional comparative therapeutic study carried out at the Department of Dermatology in Al-Kindy Teaching Hospital, from April 2019 to January 2021. A total of 28 patients with 56 lesions were enrolled in this study; their ages ranged from 16 to 60 years, and they were satisfied with the selection criteria. Lesions were classified into two groups: Group A - 28 lesions treated with intralesional methotrexate and Group B - 28 lesions treated with intralesional triamcinolone. The treatment sessions were scheduled every four weeks. The Vancouver Scar Scale was used for the evaluation. A calculation of the mean decrease in total score was performed, and photographs were taken. Results. In both study groups, a significant reduction in height and pliability was seen in lesions treated with triamcinolone compared to lesions treated with methotrexate but no significant difference between the two drugs in vascularity and pigmentation were seen at the end of the study. Means of Vancouver Scar Scale in both groups after six months of treatment decreased significantly, and better results were seen with triamcinolone in comparison to methotrexate. Conclusion. The two modes of therapy were effective, however, better results were seen with triamcinolone in the treatment of keloid.
The challenges related to whistleblowing in the field of environmental crime prevention
Authors: Kostić Jelena
Published: November 2024

Whistleblowing is an important activity not only for combating corruption, but also other irregularities and illegal actions. Protection of the environment is certainly a matter of public interest, and the prevention of crimes that violate its integrity is useful above all from the aspect of protecting peoples' lives and health. In a large number of cases, environmental crime is very difficult to detect and prove. The role of the whistle-blower is of particular importance for the timely detection of environmental offenses and the reduction of occurrence or mitigation of harmful consequences. In this paper, we start from the assumption that whistle-blowers in the field of environmental protection are faced with a large number of challenges and are not adequately protected. They are mostly either fired by their employer or forced due to various pressures to quit without the possibility of new employment. Considering the importance of their role in the field of environmental protection, the possibility of improving their position should be reconsidered. In order to make recommendations for the improvement of both national regulations and practices related to the protection of whistle-blowers, in this work we primarily use the method of content analysis, as well as the dogmatic-legal method.

Human capital development and agricultural production in Cameroon
Authors: Henrietta Ukpe
Published: November 2024

This study explores the influence of human capital development on agricultural production in Cameroon, while utilizing the data from 2000. to 2023. and analyzed them through quantile regression. The findings indicate that 78% of the variation in agricultural production is accounted for education expenditure, health expenditure, agricultural labor, and land use, which all exert a positive and significant influence on agricultural output. Conversely, fertilizers' use negatively and significantly affects production, likely due to inefficient or excessive application leading to soil degradation. The analysis further highlights that balanced investments in both education and health are essential for enhancing agricultural productivity, while imbalances in these expenditures can result in reduced output. The study underscores the importance of targeted investments in human capital development and sustainable farming practices to optimize agricultural production in Cameroon.

Published: November 2024

Modern agriculture, which is becoming an increasingly interesting topic in scientific circles, has been commonly linked to widely widespread application in practice. Actually, it represents a comprehensive integration of smart solutions in agriculture, dominantly driven by progress in data analysis and artificial intelligence, and as such represents a direct and unambiguous significant shift in modern agricultural structures. The aim of the paper is to consider the potential benefits and associated risks in the implementation of smart agriculture. By presenting the essential elements of smart agriculture, and above all the decision making process with the application of artificial intelligence and large-scale data management, the paper aims to provide a balanced perspective on how these technologies can improve business success in agriculture. At the same time, the subject of the work is consideration of the challenges of managing information technologies in smart agriculture. The results of the work provide a significant contribution to risk management using the various possibilities of smart agriculture. Derived conclusion shows that the main risks in new technologies use in agriculture in many countries is insufficient knowledge towards technology and high costs of its use, while its greatest potential is increasing the incomes with the less engagement of human factor.

Physical Exercise on the Physical and Mental Health of Obese University Students
Authors: Niu Xuehan
Published: November 2024

Objectives: In this paper, I explore the comprehensive effects of physical exercise on the physical and mental health of obese undergraduate students, examining how physical health mediates improvements in mental health and how gender influences these effects. Methods:
I utilized the Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire and the WHO-Five Well-Being Index to survey 600 undergraduates from 3 schools in Shandong Province, focusing on self-reported measures of physical exercise, physical health, and mental health. Results: I found statistically significant
positive effects of physical exercise on the physical (β = 0.18, p < .01) and mental health (β = 0.31, p < .001) of obese students. Physical exercise significantly affects mental health through its impact on physical health. Moreover, gender played a statistically significant
moderating role between physical exercise and physical health; compared to female students, male students experienced a stronger beneficial effect of physical exercise on physical health. Conclusions: Physical health acts as a key mediator between physical exercise and mental health
in these students, with gender playing a moderating role in the direct effects of physical exercise on physical health. Future studies should delve into additional moderating variables like age, socioeconomic background, and lifestyle variations. Longitudinal research could offer insights
into the enduring impacts of physical activity on both physical and psychological health.

This study employed quantitative analysis methods to comprehensively examine the sustainable development practices and challenges faced by social enterprises in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in aspects of economy, society, environment and governance. The results present a panoramic view of the current state of sustainable development of social enterprises, and delve deeply into analyzing the key difficulties encountered in the development process, such as market environment pressures, multi-objective dilemmas, and uncertainty in the policy environment.

Modernios socialinės raidos samprata socialinės gerovės kontekste
Authors: Šabanovas Simonas , Gruževskis Boguslavas
Published: November 2024

Socialinę raidą, socialinę kaitą ir dinamiką įvairūs autoriai interpretuoja skirtingai, bet dažniausiai vartoja šią kategoriją kaip sinonimus. Galima teigti, kad šiuolaikiniame pasaulyje išryškėja takoskyra tarp modernaus ir klasikinio požiūrio, bet riba tarp postmodernumo ir modernumo išlieka iki galo neapibrėžta. Moderni socialinė raida – tai skirtingose kultūrose (ne vien vakarietiškoje kultūroje) egzistuojančių elgesio tradicijų transformavimas, keitimas ar laikysena jų atžvilgiu, kuri labiau grindžiama racionaliais veiksmais. Modernumas – sąvoka, parodanti socialinės raidos rezultato naujumą, kuris charakterizuojamas tam tikrų rodiklių visuma. Tad modernioje visuomenėje vyksta nuolatinis tranzitas nuo elgesio tradicijų per pokyčius į ateitį, kurią galime ekstrapoliuoti kaip sistemą, o ne atskirų požymių bendrybę. Modernią socialinę raidą galime apibūdinti vertindami pokyčius ir panaudodami indikatorius iš skirtingų mokslininkų darbuose išsiskirtų aštuonių rodiklių grupių: socialinė struktūra, gamybinė jėga, infrastruktūra, verslumas, globali komunikacija, politinė struktūra (demokratija), urbanizacija, teritorinė hierarchinė sistema.
