Published: November 2023

In the germplasm bank of 22 varieties of avocado (Persea Americana Mill.) belonging to the Fruit Horticultural Institute Investigation, HermilioValdizan National University (UNHEVAL)-Peru, it is common to observe a high population of the species Oligonychusyothersi, a phytophagous mite harmful to the crop. Controls with commercial acaricides are restricted in place, due to the presence of beehives installed in adjacent plots. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of four commercial formulations containing strains of Metarhiziumanisopliae and Beauveria bassiana and the toxins of Bacillussubtilis, Bacillus thuringiensis var.kurstaki (Btk) for the control of O. yothersi. The entomopathogenic products were evaluated in the field applying a randomized complete block design with five treatments and three replicates. In the laboratory, 500 adult mites were selected, placing 100 mites per Petri dish with three repetitions per treatment. It was found that the formulation Bacillus thuringiensis var.kurstaki under field conditions reduced the population incidence of mites by up to 98.07% in 49 days. In the laboratory, the B. subtilis and M. anisopliae formulations caused 100% mortality six days after application proving to be efficient control alternatives.

Objectives. To evaluate the rate of use of antiplatelet pretreatment in patients with non-ST elevated acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) and its association with adverse events in two Argentine registries. Materials and methods. We retrospectively analyzed two Argentine acute coronary syndrome (ACS) registries from 2017 and 2022. We explored the incidence of pretreatment and the drug used. We evaluated the relationship between this strategy and a composite clinical outcome of in-hospital events: death + myocardial infarction + stent thrombosis + post-MI angina + transient ischemic event/cerebrovascular event, and with bleeding events (BARC 2 or higher). Subsequently, we performed a multivariate analysis by logistic regression with other clinical variables. Results. A total of 1297 patients were included; 75.6% were men, 25.6% diabetics, 27.1% smokers, 70.3% hypertensive, and 23.1% had a previous ACS. The mean age was 55.3 years. The mean GRACE score was 113.5, and the CRUSADE was 23.8. 44% of the patients received pretreatment, the majority with clopidogrel (93.5%). Pretreatment was significantly associated with a higher incidence of the composite clinical outcome (10.1% vs. 6.9%) (OR 1,56; IC 95%: 1,06-2,3; p=0,02). Bleeding events were numerically more frequent with pretreatment (8.7% vs. 5.9%) (OR 1,51; IC95%: 0,99 -2,3; p=0,054). In the multivariate analysis, pretreatment was no longer associated with a higher incidence of ischemic outcomes (OR 1,4; IC95%: 0,89-2,3; p=0,13). Conclusion. Pretreatment was used in almost half of the patients, mainly with clopidogrel, and did not show a reduction in ischemic events in patients with NSTACS.

Published: November 2023

O presente estudo objetivou realizar um levantamento bibliográfico de medicamentos antidiabéticos utilizados para emagrecimento e suas consequências para a saúde humana. Os medicamentos mais comumente relatados na literatura foram Metformina, Liraglutida e Semaglutida. Os três medicamentos demonstraram ser efetivos no emagrecimento, tendo a Liraglutida efeito mais pronunciado, inclusive em estudos clínicos. Metformina e Semaglutida demonstraram reduzir peso principalmente quando associados à prática de exercício físico e mudança de hábito alimentar. Entretanto, esses medicamentos ainda não foram aprovados com a finalidade de emagrecimento, e uma série de efeitos colaterais foram relatados, principalmente associados ao sistema gastrointestinal como náusea, vômito e diarréia. Com base nos dados avaliados, a melhor forma de reduzir o peso corporal continua sendo a prática de atividade física e mudança do estilo de vida, e uma vez que tais práticas não são suficientes pode-se optar pelo uso de anorexígeno com a devida prescrição e orientação de um profissional de saúde. Destacamos ainda a maior necessidade do farmacêutico, responsável pela interface entre o medicamento e o paciente, no processo de educação para evitar o uso irracional de medicamentos antidiabéticos no intuito de emagrecer.
Uso de envolturas plásticas para el control de la generación de purga durante la cocción de productos cárnicos embutidos
Authors:   , Flores González Tatiana
Published: November 2023

This doctoral thesis pursues two general objectives. Firstly, it seeks to identify the factors related to the purge presence in products stuffed in plastic casings and, secondly, to define technological solutions to purge problems by using artificial casings made from plastic materials. In order to accomplish these aims, this report has been organized into five chapters. From the results observed in this research, it was possible to demonstrate the potential of plastic casings as a strategy to reduce purge in meat emulsion stuffed products, the effectiveness of which will be highly dependent on the meat emulsion used. Furthermore, it was also observed that tension is a crucial parameter in purge reduction since plastic casings need to exert a minimum tension on the meat emulsion to hold the water in the matrix.

Published: November 2023

Undang-Undang Nomor 2 Tahun 2014 tentang Perubahan atas Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 2004 tentang Jabatan Notaris, selanjutnya dikenal dengan UUJN, mengatur tentang kedudukan notaris. Namun, undang-undang dan peraturan ini tidak secara filosofis atau teknis mengatur peraturan rinci tentang tugas notaris. Akibatnya, tidak ada tata kelola kantor notaris, sistem administrasi kantor notaris, atau tata kelola Notaris yang berlaku secara universal yang berfungsi sebagai standar perilaku notaris. Notaris sebagai pejabat publik yang memuat akta sah yang mencakup segala kejadian atau peristiwa yang telah dilihat, dialami, dan diamati sendiri oleh Notaris sendiri. Apa yang diinginkan kedua belah pihak dalam perjanjian harus dimasukkan dalam akta notaris. Jika di kemudian hari para pihak dalam akta tersebut digugat di pengadilan, notaris sendiri memiliki tanggung jawab untuk menghadirkan bukti kekuatan yang sempurna melalui akta yang dibuatnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menggunakan teknik penelitian hukum normatif untuk mengetahui bagaimana kewenangan dalam menangani pelanggaran kode etik notaris dan bagaimana sanksi atas pelanggaran yang dapat dikenakan kepada notaris ketika melaksanakan tugas dan menjalankan kewenangan jabatan notaris. 1. Kewenangan kelembagaan komite kode etik kehormatan penting untuk diperhatikan dalam hal ini. Undang-undang saat ini, termasuk yang berkaitan dengan Ikatan Notaris Indonesia (I.N.I) maupun Undang-undang Jabatan Notaris (UUJN), juga merupakan bagian integral dari bagaimana Dewan Kehormatan dan Dewan Pengawas melaksanakan tanggung jawab mereka dan menjalankan wewenang mereka. Dewan Pengawas dan organisasi pengawas Ikatan Notaris Indonesia (INI) bekerja sama dan bersama-sama untuk mengambil langkah-langkah yang diperlukan untuk melindungi norma-norma hukum dan kode etik lapangan. 2. Dewan Kegormatan berwenang menjatuhkan sanksi kepada Notaris yang terbukti melanggar Kode Etik. Sanksi tersebut antara lain: teguran, peringatan, schorzing (pemberhentian sementara dari keanggotaan perkumpulan), onzetting (pemberhentian dari keanggotaan perkumpulan), dan pemberhentian tidak hormat dari keanggotaan perkumpulan.

Published: November 2023

Objective: To look for migraine headaches and associated factors in patients being managed for psoriasis at a tertiary healthcare setup in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Dermatology, Pak Emirates Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Mar 2021 to Feb 2022.
Methodology: One hundred and forty patients of psoriasis being managed at our Dermatology Unit were included in the analysis. All patients were screened with the Migraine Screen Questionnaire (MS-Q), and those having scores equal to or more than four were evaluated by medical specialists, and diagnosis of migraine was established based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders diagnostic criteria for migraine. An association of relevant risk factors was established with migraine among these patients.
Results: Out of 140 patients with psoriasis, 75(53.4%) were male, while 65(46.6%) were female. Eighty-five (60.7%) patients had migraine confirmed by clinical criteria, while 55(39.3%) had no migraine. Statistical analysis revealed that more body surface area involvement and longer duration of psoriasis had a statistically significant relationship with migraine among the study participants (p-value <0.05).
Conclusion: The study showed that patients with psoriasis had an approximately 3-fold increased risk of migraine headaches compared to the normal population. Most of the patients had migraine without aura. Patients with longer duration of psoriasis and those with more surface area of the body affected with psoriasis were at an increased risk of migraines compared to other patients.
Algunas reflexiones sobre temas legales de actualidad: el jurado y la legislación de menores
Authors: Suárez Robledano José Manuel
Published: November 2023

I. INTRODUCCIÓN.
Una sociedad en constante desarrollo, no anquilosada, se caracteriza en el mundo actual por un progresivo perfeccionamiento de sus instituciones, particularmente de las de naturaleza jurídica y procesal. No se trata de estar permanente y constantemente cuestionando los modelos de convivencia y de aplicación de la justicia penal, sino de la construcción y del perfeccionamiento de tales instituciones, corrigiéndose aquello que demande la sociedad y modificándose las reglas que aparezcan como inadecuadas, insuficientes o contrarias al sentir mayoritario de la sociedad democrática de la que se trata. No ha de tratarse, empero, de un mero y simple voluntarismo, sino de una toma de decisiones legislativas e instrumentales acompasada a la realidad social tal y como demanda la ya tradicional regla interpretativa contenida en el artículo 3.º del Código Civil (CC) y se infiere de las exigencias que sobre la justicia proclama nuestra Constitución en las primeras de sus palabras.
Sirvan tales disquisiciones de orden introductorio para centrar los temas que ocuparán los siguientes folios de reflexión y estudio de algunos problemas e instituciones que preocupan en estos momentos a la sociedad española y a sus fuerzas políticas dominantes. Dichas preocupaciones han surgido, de forma similar, a consecuencia del sucesivo enjuiciamiento de hechos ocurridos en tiempos relativamente cortos una vez que se pusieron en práctica, con su entrada en vigor, sendas disposiciones de carácter penal y procesal referidas al jurado y a la denominada «delincuencia de los menores». Quede claro que las tomas de postura que, de forma argumentada y fundamentada, se toman en este comentario se basamentan en la experiencia de lo ocurrido, en el sentir de muchos juristas y en la misma praxis del derecho comparado y de la sociedad pluralista que conforma España. Por supuesto, que tales reflexiones no pueden imponerse y han de sujetarse a crítica y que sí han de servir para meditar sobre la seriedad de los temas afectados por ellas, siendo de resaltar lo inadecuado de adoptar posturas extremas, tal y como sucede en otros muchos aspectos de la convivencia institucionalizada jurídicamente.

La conectividad y la digitalización como estrategias para la puesta en valor de recursos abandonados con posibilidad de uso turístico. Un análisis de caso de la provincia de Pontevedra
Authors: García Revilla Raquel , Martínez Moure Olga , Sarah Einsle Carmen
Published: November 2023

La tecnología y la digitalización han ido transformando el turismo, situación que se ha vuelto más intensa desde las últimas décadas. Ante los retos que se plantean en el turismo, en el marco de la sociedad actual, resulta necesario analizar el acceso a las tecnologías digitales y su impacto en el patrimonio cultural. Así, el objetivo principal del presente trabajo es realizar un análisis de la conectividad y ver cómo pueden suponer un primer paso para la puesta en valor turístico de los recursos. Mediante un estudio de caso de Galicia se trata de poner en evidencia la necesidad de incluir la tecnología digital en el turismo en el marco de la sociedad del conocimiento y mostrar de qué manera estas tecnologías suponen un papel fundamental a la hora de conservar y reactivar el patrimonio cultural. Los hallazgos encontrados muestran diferencia en la cobertura entre las distintas provincias gallegas y arrojan, asimismo, la posibilidad de rehabilitación del patrimonio cultural con la ayuda de la digitalización del patrimonio, la creación de ofertas integradas y la medición, a los efectos de desarrollar un turismo sostenible, responsable y accesible. En concreto, se propone la creación de dos rutas turísticas, como ofertas integradas, tras la rehabilitación del patrimonio. Se concluye el trabajo con un apartado de discusión de los datos y se cierra el artículo con un epígrafe de conclusiones.

Published: November 2023

En la siguiente investigación se aplicará la teoría de la credibilidad de la fuente para determinar el efecto de las características del influencer de Instagram sobre la intención de compra para la generación millennial en la industria de la moda dentro de la categoría ropa informal.
El desarrollo de la investigación se obtuvo mediante una encuesta estructurada a 346 mujeres millennials de Cuenca con una edad comprendida entre 25 a 39 años dentro de la zona urbana, aplicando la técnica de muestreo aleatorio estratificado con afijación proporcional.
Sobre los datos recopilados se realiza un análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) para seleccionar y ordenar las variables significativas, utilizando como estimador el de máxima verosimilitud. Finalmente, se aplica el modelado de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM) y así comprobar las hipótesis propuestas para cumplir con los objetivos de la investigación.
Los resultados indican que solo tres características de los influencers tienen relación significativa con la intención de compra, estas son: similitud, experiencia y familiaridad, siendo esta última la que tiene relación directa con la variable dependiente, además que su origen se da por intermedio de los dos constructos mencionados anteriormente. Por otro lado, la confiabilidad no fue significativa, por lo que se descartó del modelo.
Doble materialidad y credibilidad de la información sobre sostenibilidad: cuestiones clave y retos actuales
Authors: Bravo Urquiza Francisco , Abad Navarro María Cristina , Reguera Alvarado Nuria
Published: November 2023

El principio de doble materialidad es un aspecto clave en el reciente marco normativo europeo relativo a la divulgación de información corporativa sobre sostenibilidad. Nuestro trabajo revisa la evolución del concepto de doble materialidad y de los requisitos informativos en esta materia. En particular, nuestro estudio empírico examina, a través de un análisis de contenido de los estados de información no financiera, las prácticas de divulgación de información sobre materialidad de las empresas del IBEX 35. Nuestros resultados ponen de manifiesto que estas empresas publican de forma generalizada información basada en un enfoque de doble materialidad, aunque se aprecian aún deficiencias tanto en la cantidad como en la calidad de dicha información. A la luz de nuestros resultados, planteamos una serie de reflexiones e identificamos retos para las empresas, así como para reguladores, auditores e investigadores.
Validation of the WRF-ARW eclipse model with measurements from the 2019 and 2020 total solar eclipses
Authors: Spangrude Carl E. , Fowler Jennifer W. , Moss W. Graham , Wang June
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Field research campaigns in 2019 and 2020 collected hourly atmospheric profiles via radiosonde surrounding the 2 July 2019 and 14 December 2020 total solar eclipses over South America from locations within the paths of eclipse totality. As part of these atmospheric data collection campaigns, the eclipse module of the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecast (WRF-ARW) model was utilized to model meteorological conditions before, during, and after the eclipse events. The surface and upper-air observational datasets collected through these campaigns have enabled further assessment and validation of the WRF-ARW's eclipse module performance in simulating atmospheric responses to total solar eclipses. We provide descriptions of the field campaigns for both 2019 and 2020 and present results from comparisons of meteorological variables both at the surface and aloft using observational datasets obtained through the campaigns. The paper concludes by recommending further scientific analyses to be explored utilizing the unique datasets presented.
The radiative impact of biomass burning aerosols on dust emissions over Namibia and the long-range transport of smoke observed during AEROCLO-sA

Published: November 2023

Abstract. The radiative effects of biomass burning aerosols (BBAs) on low-level atmospheric circulation over southern Africa are investigated on 5 September 2017 during the Aerosols, Radiation and Clouds in southern Africa (AEROCLO-sA) field campaign. This is conducted using a variety of in situ and remote sensing observations, as well as 5-day twin ensemble simulations made with the Meso-NH mesoscale model, one including the direct and semi-direct radiative effects of aerosols and one in which these effects are not included. We show that the radiative impact of BBA building up over a period of 5 days in the Meso-NH simulations can lead to significantly different circulations at low- and mid-levels, thereby affecting dust emissions over southern Namibia and northwestern South Africa as well as the transport of BBA in a so-called “river of smoke”. While most of the regional scale dynamics, thermodynamics and composition features are convincingly represented in the simulation with BBA radiative effects, neglecting the radiative impact of BBA leads to unrealistic representations of (i) the low-level jet (LLJ) over the plateau plateau, which is the main low-level dynamic feature fostering dust emission, and (ii) the mid-level dynamics pertaining to the transport of BBA from the fire-prone regions in the Tropics to the mid-latitudes. For instance, when the BBA radiative impacts are not included, the LLJ is too weak and not well established over night, and the developing convective planetary boundary layer (PBL) is too deep compared to observations. The deeper convective PBL over Etosha and surrounding areas is related to the enhanced anomalous upward motion caused by the eastern displacement of the river of smoke. This eastern displacement is, in turn, related to the weaker southerly African Easterly Jet. Both ensemble simulations provide clear evidence that the enhanced near surface extinction coefficient values detected from observations over Etosha are related to the downward mixing of BBA in the developing convective boundary layer rather that dust being emitted as a result of the LLJ breakdown after sunrise. This study suggests that the radiative effect of BBAs needs to be taken into account to properly forecast dust emissions in Namibia.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. A proportion of patients with hip and knee prosthetic joint infection (PJI) undergo multiple revisions with the aim of eradicating infection and improving quality of life. The aim of this study was to describe the microbiology cultured from multiply revised hip and knee replacement procedures to guide antimicrobial therapy at the time of surgery. Patients and methods: Consecutive patients were retrospectively identified from databases at two specialist orthopaedic centres in the United Kingdom between 2011 and 2019. Patient were included who had undergone repeat-revision total knee replacement (TKR) or total hip replacement (THR) for infection, following an initial failed revision for infection. Results: A total of 106 patients were identified. Of these patients, 74 underwent revision TKR and 32 underwent revision THR. The mean age at first revision was 67 years (SD 10). The Charlson comorbidity index was ≤ 2 for 31 patients, 3–4 for 57 patients, and ≥ 5 for 18 patients. All patients underwent at least two revisions, 73 patients received three, 47 patients received four, 31 patients received five, and 21 patients received at least six. After six revisions, 90 % of patients had different organisms cultured compared with the initial revision, and 53 % of organisms were multidrug resistant. The most frequent organisms at each revision were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (36 %) and Staphylococcus aureus (19 %). Fungus was cultured from 3 % of revisions, and 21 % of infections were polymicrobial. Conclusion: Patients undergoing multiple revisions for PJI are highly likely to experience a change in organism, with 90 % of patients having a different organism cultured by their sixth revision. It is therefore important to administer empirical antibiotics at each subsequent revision, taking into account known drug resistance from previous cultures. Our results do not support the routine use of empirical antifungals.
The Synergetic Paradigm: A Confluence of Linguistic and Cultural Anthropology in The Examination of Cultural Values
Authors: CHKHEIDZE Maia
Published: November 2023

Cultural Anthropology and Linguistic Anthropology are two vital subfields within anthropology, each offering unique insights into the diverse and complex ways in which human societies operate. When these disciplines converge, a profound synergy emerges, providing a richer and more holistic understanding of the cultural, linguistic, and social dimensions of human life. This article explores the interplay between cultural and linguistic anthropology, revealing how their synergy enhances our grasp of the intricacies of human existence. The fields of cultural and linguistic anthropology have long been distinguished by their unique focuses, methodologies, and research interests. Cultural anthropology delves into the intricacies of human societies, exploring cultural practices, beliefs, and social structures, while linguistic anthropology focuses on the role of language in culture and society. However, a synergetic paradigm is emerging that seeks to bridge these two disciplines, recognizing the intricate connection between language and culture. This paradigm acknowledges that linguistic and cultural anthropology are not mutually exclusive but, instead, complementary lenses through which to view the complex tapestry of human societies. Cultural and linguistic anthropology, though distinct in their focuses, share a fundamental interest in understanding the dynamics of human societies and cultures. When it comes to exploring shifts in value systems, these two subfields of anthropology often employ similar research methods. In this article, we will delve into the methods that cultural and linguistic anthropologists commonly share in their investigations of evolving value systems. Keywords: Linguistic anthropology; Cultural anthropology; Shared methodology; values.

Published: November 2023

This research investigated how digital transformation affects the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and organizational performance among private banks in Baghdad, Iraq. The study population consisted of 5,000 individuals holding various positions, including general manager, deputy general manager, department head, section head, and employee. To obtain a representative sample, the researchers employed the stratified equal random sampling method and randomly selected participants. As a result, a total of 406 questionnaires were distributed. However, only 197 questionnaires were valid and suitable for analysis, representing a percentage of 49% of the distributed questionnaires. The primary means of gathering information was through a questionnaire, and the data obtained were analyzed using inferential statistical techniques. The research findings indicated that the different aspects of entrepreneurial orientation, such as being proactive, taking risks, and flexibility, had a significant and beneficial influence on the organization's overall performance and its ability to operate effectively and engage socially. Nonetheless, the innovation aspect did not have a notable impact on the performance of the organization and its related dimensions. In addition, the research indicated that digitalization has a beneficial impact on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and the performance of an organization, making it more powerful. The research suggested that private banks operating in Baghdad province ought to promote innovation, foster productive social interactions, enhance their operational efficiency, facilitate digital transformation, and leverage their moderating influence to improve the performance of the organization by boosting entrepreneurial orientation.

Published: November 2023

Investment in non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has decreased dramatically over the past two years, despite the financial value and potential importance of NFTs for the future of the economy and the current decentralized marketplaces. This study investigated the barriers influencing customers' resistance to investing in NFTs using the innovation resistance theory (IRT) components such as usage barriers, value barriers, risk barriers, tradition barriers, and image barriers. The data was gathered from 375 investors via an online questionnaire. To assess and evaluate the suggested model and its hypotheses, responses were investigated using a partial least square structural equation modeling approach (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that the five resistance-related barriers are all substantial deterrents to investing in NFTs. The usage barrier was the most significant barrier, whereas the value barrier was the least significant. The study's findings have far-reaching implications for academics, NFTs’ marketplaces, policymakers, and investors.

This study developed and empirically corroborated a structure explicitly propositioning eco-product innovation and external learning, correspondingly bridging the link between intellectual capital and sustainability performance. The theory of dynamic capabilities and knowledge-based view proposed eco-product creation and external education as mediators that developed a new conceptual model. This study utilized the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM method) to examine one hundred sixty-two Indonesian bottled drinking industries, exposing their attentiveness to cooperate in the study. More essentially, the study unraveled new justifications by scrutinizing external learning's role as more influential than eco-product innovation. Based on the practical viewpoint, intellectual capital helped exchange knowledge and information with distributors, suppliers, and competitors. Thus, the complete assimilation and transformation of their understanding could improve business performance.

This study aims to examine the relationships between capital expenditure, supply chain activities, economic growth, and community welfare in the districts and cities of Central Kalimantan Province. The study analyzes the original sample data from 2014 to 2022 using a path analysis approach. The findings reveal significant positive relationships between capital expenditure, economic growth, and community welfare. However, the hypothesized positive relationships between supply chain activities and economic growth, supply chain activities and community welfare, and economic growth and community welfare are not supported. Moreover, the mediating roles of economic growth in the relationships between capital expenditure and community welfare and supply chain activities and community welfare are not confirmed. Theoretical implications highlight the importance of strategic capital expenditure in driving economic growth and enhancing community welfare. Practically, the study guides policymakers and development planners to allocate resources effectively for sustainable and balanced economic expansion. The study has limitations, including focusing on direct relationships and the specificity of Central Kalimantan Province. Future research could include external factors, apply cross-regional analyses, and utilize qualitative approaches to gain deeper insights. Additionally, spatial analyses could enhance understanding of geographic impacts. The novelty of this research lies in its comprehensive exploration of the interplay between capital expenditure, supply chain activities, economic growth, and community welfare in the context of Central Kalimantan Province. By shedding light on the intricate dynamics between these variables, this study contributes to the existing literature on regional development and public policy while offering insights for informed decision-making and sustainable development practices.

Authors: Altassan Megren
Published: November 2023

Implementing green HRM is expected to foster green innovation inside small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The promotion of a sustainable environment and the implementation of organizational procedures contribute to the advancement of green innovation and the cultivation of a culture of responsibility. The implementation of Green Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, the cultivation of eco-friendly behavior among employees, and the adoption of HRM strategies aimed at fostering a sustainable environment within the business. To the extent of our current understanding, previous research has not investigated the potential influence of green climate in enhancing the effects of Green HRM in environmentally friendly behaviors and the development of green innovations. The assessment of the collective impact of these variables on environmental performance within a comprehensive model has not been previously examined. Therefore, this study has added significance by assessing the mediating role of employees’ eco-friendly behavior between Green HRM practices and the organization’s environmental performance. This study has been conducted in the context of SMEs in Saudi Arabia by taking responses on a self-administered questionnaire from 371 respondents from SMEs in Saudi Arabia Selected through cluster sampling technique. Hence, the findings of this study affirm the significance of Green HRM and Green Innovation in driving environmental performance within SMEs in Saudi Arabia. The underpinning theory for the study model is the ability motivation and opportunity (AMO) model, which has been validated in the context of the present study. By taking these practical steps, SMEs in Saudi Arabia can proactively contribute to environmental sustainability while reaping the benefits of improved organizational performance. However, other cultural, demographic, and governmental factors need consideration in future research studies that should include these external factors for further implications.

Mark Twain’s Early Contributions to Fantasy and Science Fiction and “Mormon” Narratives of Reconciliation
Authors: Manning Alan , Amare Nicole
Published: November 2023

Mark Twain is best known in popular culture as the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It is somewhat less widely known that he wrote on the leading edge of the writing genre we now know as Fantasy and Science Fiction (F&SF). He stands with Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and H. G. Wells as one of the early developers of basic themes that are with us still: time travel, political dystopia, alternative history, future history, ESP, alien/demonic visitation, travel to alien worlds, and world-altering inventions. Twain likewise had fictional alignments with Latter-day Saint theology, including the theme of reconciliation through transcendence. Transcendent reconciliation is thus the driving force behind the general plot strategy of the most successful examples of Latter-day Saint fantasy/sci-fi and Twain’s writings as well.
Studying Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve from a Ghanaian Context
Authors: Ben-Daniels Faith
Published: November 2023

This article outlines the practical pedagogical approach used in the teaching of Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve in a Ghanaian university, and how the chosen approach, which involves some amount of “enactment” of the text, guides students in focusing on the nuances encountered as part of their study of the text under the “World Literature” course. This article highlights how professors incorporate “enactment” as an approach to raise and sustain students’ interest in the text and to further guide students in identifying and discussing universal subject matters such as marriage, misogyny, and human fellowship from the text. Employing enactment creates in students a sense of ownership of the text and involvement in its study. The discussion concludes by highlighting the importance of maintaining such foreign texts in the academic curriculum, but not losing sight of the challenges academic faculties face by doing so.
