Authors: Labiaga Jeorgie Francine , Karl P. Campos
Published: June 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the economy's flow in the majority of areas across the world. Reduced economic activity due to travel restrictions and lockdowns imposed to stop the virus's spread caused economic recessions in the pandemic-affected areas. MSMEs are the backbone of the Philippines, providing 99.5% of the nation’s business population and 65.10% of the nation's workforce. In addition to dealing with extraordinary economic and social challenges over the past two years, SME preparation for transitioning to a digital and sustainable economy has been necessary. The researcher will use a Systematic Literature Review to assess the transparency and consistency of the screening procedure and the approaches to coping applied by Philippine MSMEs in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study will make use of three research guide questions. 1) What are the pandemic risks and their impact on Philippine MSMEs? 2) What coping strategies do Philippine MSMEs use to deal with risks and pandemic risk impacts? According to the review, human movement restrictions (Lockdowns), financial constraints/ revenue losses, operating difficulties, economic crisis and recession, and job losses are impacts of the pandemic on MSMEs.  Furthermore, the study listed four essential coping strategies: digital and technological adoption/adaptation, government financial support/packages, modification of business models, and implications for financial stability (loans). This study will contribute to ideas in innovation and technological advancement, business improvement, and wise cost distribution.

HUMANISTIC PRINCIPLES OF SCHOOLING BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF ACTIVITIES OF THE HUMENNE-UZHHOROD JESUIT COLLEGE (1613 – 1773)
Authors: Ferkov Oksana
Published: July 2024

Jesuit educational institutions were popular in European countries for more than a century and a half. Education was not among the priority tasks of the Society of Jesus, created in 1534. About a decade had passed before the first colleges began emerging and transforming into humanistic educational institutions. The successful combination of the tradition of humanistic education of the Renaissance-Reformation era and the tasks of Catholic renewal of the post-Trident period guaranteed Jesuit institutions successful activity for a long time. In the article, the author tries to outline the main stages of the establishment and activity of the Humenne-Ungvar Jesuit collegium in the context of the activity of the Society of Jesus on the northeastern outskirts of Hungary in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is indicated that schools were an effective tool in the rivalry between different denominations, particularly among Protestants and Catholics. In the early modern times, educational institutions headed by the church (Catholic, Protestant, Jesuit) had a clear humanistic direction and were guided by the principle of enlightened piety. And this can be seen in the educational activities of the Humenne-Ungvar Jesuit College. The Humenne-Ungvar College of the Society of Jesus was a typical institution of humanistic education (studia humanitatis). The establishment of the college had its own political, religious, and moral tasks. Slowing down the pace of the Reformation in the northeastern outskirts of Hungary, the Catholic Church, through the Jesuits, and thanks to the patronage of the Drugets, spread education, knowledge, culture, and more. The universal model of Jesuit schools provided European education in the northeastern counties of Hungary. The social openness and religious tolerance of the Jesuit schools opened doors for the education of children with different statuse and confessions of the region. In 1773 the Pope dissolved the Jesuit order, and educational institutions were reorganized. The Uzhhorod College was transformed into a gymnasium, which continued the educational traditions of Jesuit schooling in the region.
ETHNOSIS AND RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE DURING THE FORMATION OF THE GERMAN NATION
Authors: Bevzyuk Evgen
Published: July 2024

In the conditions of intensification of national processes, the interest of the intellectual community in the phenomenon of dialogue between ethnic groups and titular nations became more urgent. The history of the smallest Slavic nation, the Lusatian Serbs, is an example of how ethnicity and religious confessional specificity were closely intertwined in the modern period. At the same time, although the identity of the Lusatian communities remained important for the content of the process of their revival, they did not fronde but continued to be incorporated into the national process that took place in Germany in the first half of the 19th century. The purpose of the publication is to investigate the positives of confessional dialogue (Protestants, Catholics) in the context of a unique case of ethnic preservation of the relic Lusatian ethnos. Summarizing, the author notes the practical side of the emergence of spiritual conformity between various religious Lusatian communities, which also did not hinder the process of further revival of the Lusatians. Thus, conformism between representatives of various religious elites and secular intellectuals reduced the threat of the final dissolution of Lusatian identity in the German environment. For Lusatians, religion became an important marker that distinguished communities from each other and, over time, began to perform even non-religious functions. At the same time, it should be recognized that the confessional confrontation, although it had a practical side, at the same time, did not establish a tradition of antagonism between the bearers of two types of ethnic-confessional consciousness. The confrontation of the two Christian currents in practice did not exclude the cultural dialogue between the communities of different Lusatian regions, and in some cases, the elite of different confessions even jointly contributed to the cultural emancipation of the ethnos.

Conceptual Properties of Islamic Economic Modeling: Complexity, Nonlinearity, and Endogeneity in Epistemological Perspectives
Authors: Choudhury Masudul Alam
Published: June 2024

This paper introduces a new perspective of economic reasoning and analysis pertaining to situations of complexity combined with nonlinearity and endogenous relations among interacting, integrating and evolutionary entities. The entities comprise multi-variables representing different embedded systems that encompass economy, society, science, and ethics. In the emergent model of endogenous inter-causal relationships between such entities the ontological perspective assumes the nature of evaluating inter-causal intra- and inters- systemic relations by means of formalism belonging to functional ontology of mathematical forms (Gruber, 1993), as opposed to invoking metaphysical ontological speculation. The functional ontological approach to structure and formalize leads to a new framework of economic reasoning in the presence of embedded systems that continuously participate and complement, as opposed to being subjected to the central postulate of marginal rate of substitution and exogenous treatment of knowledge in mainstream economics. The continuous phenomenon of interaction, integration, and evolutionary (IIE) learning in such inter-causal systems establish ethical endogeneity. Thus, philosophical background of economic reasoning is invoked in the functional epistemological formalism of the interactive, integrative, and evolutionary systems. That is sush systems are characterized by IIE-learning processes induced by the episteme of unity of knowledge.

Published: June 2024

The increasing prevalence of veiling among female students is requiring urgent examination. Therefore, this study analyzes veiling during prayer, emphasizing four madhhabs to show varying perspectives and implications for student populations in Ambon State Islamic Institute. A comparative analysis of legal principles is adopted to integrate sociological perspectives using an interdisciplinary approach. Data collection includes interviews, documentation, and bibliographic studies, with emphasis on the influential novel turāś (classic book). The results show that there are three main issues, namely concerns regarding prostration perfection in hadith, debates on mouth and nose closure during prayer, and discussions on intimate body part boundaries for women. In addition, Jumhūr Ulamā (the Majority of Scholars) from al-Shāfi'ī, Hanafī, and Mālikī madhhab concur on visibility necessities in specific situations. Veiling is recommended during prayer unless there is concern for slander. In this context, students' awareness of feminist jurisprudence is stated, advocating for a nuanced understanding beyond a singular perspective. Veiling practices should also be comprehended during prayer among Muslims to urge respect for diverse Islamic opinions. This study reports the urgency of addressing the multifaceted issue and advocates for a comprehensive perspective.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the use of business intelligence applications in accounting, particularly in invoice handling, and the resultant disruption and technical challenges. Traditionally a manual process, accounting has fundamentally changed with the incorporation of BI technology that automates processes and allows for sophisticated data analysis. This study addresses the lack of understanding about the strategic implications and nuances of implementation. Data was collected from 467 accounting stakeholder surveys and analyzed quantitatively using correlational analysis. Multiple regression was utilized to investigate the effect of BI adoption, technical sophistication on operational and organizational performance enhancements. The results show a weak association between the use of BI tools and operational enhancements, indicating that the time for processing invoices has decreased. Challenges due to information privacy and bias were significant and negative on both operational and organizational performance. This study suggests that a successful implementation of a BI technology requires an integrated plan that focuses on strategic management, organizational learning, and sound policies This paper informs practitioners of how accounting is being transformed in the digital age, motivating accountants and policy makers to better understand accounting as it evolves with technology and for businesses to invest in concomitant advances.
A force/position controller free of velocity measurement for robot manipulators with bounded torque input
Authors: Chávez-Olivares César A. , Mendoza-Gutiérrez Marco O. , Bonilla-Gutiérrez Isela , González-Galván Emilio J.
Published: July 2024

Robot manipulators play a crucial role in various industrial and research settings, requiring precise and controlled interactions with their surroundings. Achieving this goal with fewer sensors offers advantages not only in terms of cost and decreased risk of failure but also enhances accuracy and long-termreliability. In this paper,we introduce a nonlinear force/position controller that eliminates the requirement for velocity measurements. This controller provides versatility by facilitating the generation of bounded control actions during robot-environment interactions, ensuring a higher level of safety for both the robot and its environment during the execution of tasks necessitating physical contact between them. The proposed approach is underpinned by a stability analysis in the Lyapunov sense and has been validated through a series of simulation and experimental tests.
Deciphering the molecular landscape of ionising radiation-induced eye damage with the help of genomic data mining
Authors: Baralić Katarina , Božović Predrag , Đukić-Ćosić Danijela
Published: July 2024

Even at low levels, exposure to ionising radiation can lead to eye damage. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not yet fully understood. We aimed to address this gap with a comprehensive in silico approach to the issue. For this purpose we relied on the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD), ToppGene Suite, Cytoscape, GeneMANIA, and Metascape to identify six key regulator genes associated with radiation-induced eye damage (ATM, CRYAB, SIRT1, TGFB1, TREX1, and YAP1), all of which have physical interactions. Some of the identified molecular functions revolve around DNA repair mechanisms, while others are involved in protein binding, enzymatic activities, metabolic processes, and post-translational protein modifications. The biological processes are mostly centred on response to DNA damage, the p53 signalling pathway in particular. We identified a significant role of several miRNAs, such as hsa-miR-183 and hsamiR-589, in the mechanisms behind ionising radiation-induced eye injuries. Our study offers a valuable method for gaining deeper insights into the adverse effects of radiation exposure.

Traditional medicine has used sage (Salvia officinalis L.) preparations for centuries to prevent and treat various inflammatory and oxidative stress-induced conditions. The aim of this in vitro study was to determine the bioactive properties of a sage leave extract obtained with environmentally friendly aqueous extraction and lyophilisation in primary human peripheral blood cells. To that end we measured the total phenolic and flavonoid content (TPC and TFC, respectively) with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Non-cytotoxic concentrations determined with the trypan blue assay were used to assess the antioxidant (DPPH, ABTS, and PAB assay), antigenotoxic (CBMN assay), immunomodulatory (IL-1β and TNF-α), and neuroprotective effects (AChE inhibition). The extract contained high TPC (162 mg GAE/g of dry extract) and TFC (39.47 mg QE/g of dry extract) concentrations, while β-thujone content was unexpectedly low (below 0.9 %). Strong radical-scavenging activity combined with glutathione reductase activation led to a decrease in basal and H2O2-induced oxidative stress and DNA damage. A decrease in TNF-α and increase in IL-1β levels suggest complex immunomodulatory response that could contribute to antioxidant and, together with mild AChE inhibition, neuroprotective effects. Overall, this study has demonstrated that aqueous sage leave extract reduces the levels of thujone, 1,8-cineole, pinene, and terpene ketones that could be toxic in high concentrations, while maintaining high concentrations of biologically active protective compounds which have a potential to prevent and/or treat inflammatory and oxidative stress-related conditions.
In the Shadow of War: Nationalism and Folk Studies in Wartime Beiping and Shanghai
Authors: Gao Selina J.
Published: June 2024

The discipline of folklore studies was introduced to China in the early twentieth century while the country faced a grave national crisis resulting from intense foreign pressure and a rigid political system that was incapable of adapting to the challenges of the modern world. Nationalism contributed to the rising interest in folklore from the late 1910s to early 1920s, then became the dominant theme of folklore studies thereafter. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, folklore studies spread all over the country and developed vigorously within China. However, the eruption of the War of Resistance in 1937 interrupted this revitalization process and most folklore activities came to a standstill. In wartime China, leading scholars looked to the past in part as a reaction to Japanese imperialism, but also to strengthen cultural cohesion for the nation. In Japanese-occupied areas, some scholars persisted in independent folklore investigations and writing even though most upper tier Chinese universities and leading figures in the folklore movement gradually relocated to non-occupied territory. Scholars who remained in the occupation zone often had contact with foreign-backed institutions and were able to continue working during the war years. Their research activities served the purpose of rallying the nation and fed a growing popular demand for more and deeper investigations into China’s folk traditions. This work examines the influence of nationalism on folk studies in Beiping and Shanghai, shining a light on folklorists’ activities, folklore organizations, and primary publications during China’s War of Resistance against Japan.

Published: July 2024

This article signals the need for an integrated approach to curriculum development and implementation with a focus on a group of disciplines related to the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC). By highlighting various teaching approaches of LOAC, I argue that there is a risk that LOAC be perceived by many non-legal practitioners, like the cadets, as difficult to grasp, interpreted and corelated with real situations they will face daily in operations, exercises or even during execution of routine peace-time duties. I support the idea that the LOAC, as a horizontal discipline in a military academy curriculum, need to be integrated dynamically, both horizontally (in relation to other operational disciplines) and vertically (along the academic path of a military cadet) into the overall construct of learning the basics of the profession of arms. To operationalise this finding, I propose an integrated educational model that suggests horizontal coordination of the academic schedule and enhanced cooperation among the teaching staff of the relevant disciplines.

This paper analyses the directives of the European Union on the fight against money laundering and financing of terrorism (AMLD) as one of the key measures of the European Union in the fight against international terrorism after September 11, 2001, from the aspect of respect for human rights. Through various revisions, from the first AMLD to the most recent, this legislative framework has been progressively improved to respond to emerging challenges in the financial world and to strengthen the fight against financial crimes. In the paper, a special research focus is given to solutions to the “security vs. human rights” and problems in the implementation of AMLD. The results of the analysis show that the European Union is developing the AMLD measure regarding the dilemma “security vs. human rights” found an adequate balance, i.e. AMLD is continuously developing in such a way that it respects human rights while not jeopardizing the effectiveness of protecting democratic societies within the EU and accepted common values.

Interrogation - Contemporary Humint Trends and Challenges
Authors: Golebiewski Tomasz
Published: July 2024

Interrogation plays a crucial role in the military, and intelligence sphere, especially in the face of operations of an armed nature. The differentiation of interrogation due to its nature (procedural and evidentiary purpose or intelligence requirements (IRs)) opened up the opportunity for military personnel to polemicize on the competence and organizational side of this practice, and this article presents considerations on the aspects of the application of interrogation at the intelligence level.
The Integration of the Western Balkans Into the EU
Authors: Hadzhipetrova-Lachova Mariya
Published: July 2024

This article examines the intricacies of European integration for Western Balkan countries, exploring the unique challenges each state confronts on its path to EU membership. It delves into the political, legal, and diplomatic reforms required, emphasizing the pivotal role these play in aligning with EU standards. Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Kosovo are analyzed in terms of their distinct obstacles, such as internal political stability, judiciary reforms, dispute resolution with neighbors, and anti-corruption efforts. For instance, North Macedonia’s settlement of a historical name dispute with Greece underscores the importance of diplomacy in the region. Serbia’s bid for membership is complicated by the necessity to normalize relations with Kosovo amidst internal and external tensions. Montenegro’s recent political transitions illustrate its dedication to democratic principles and Euro-Atlantic alliances as it pursues EU accession. Kosovo’s journey is marked by its unique international recognition issues and the implications of recent EU sanctions following ethnic conflicts. The article argues that while progress has been made, the EU accession journey for these nations will require sustained commitment, comprehensive reforms, and adept negotiation to surmount the hurdles ahead. It is through such concerted efforts that the Western Balkan countries can advance towards achieving their EU membership goals, with the collective process shaping the region’s European perspective and integration.
Specific Approaches to Augmenting Logistics Planning in Joint Multinational Operations
Authors: Minculete Gheorghe
Published: July 2024

Challenges and actions by state adversaries in the economic-social and military domains at the regional and global levels necessitate a more detailed approach to combat power at the operational level of NATO. This concept refers to the availability of the necessary logistical capabilities, as well as the leadership’s skills and willingness to use them effectively and efficiently on operational components and functions in the area/theater of joint multinational operations. In this paper, I highlight the appropriate elements for augmenting the logistics planning of joint multinational operations, the primary role of tailored support following the new requirements revealed by the lessons identified in the armed conflict in Ukraine. The sequences and subsections developed in the material present an approach and correlation necessary for increasing the role of logistical planning in joint multinational operations to provide timely support with sufficient resources to the organized, engaged, and led multinational joint forces in achieving operational objectives and the end state.
The Influence of Non-Kinetic Actions on Multi-Domain Operations Command and Control
Authors: Raţiu Aurelian , Sălăvăstru Claudiu-Marius
Published: July 2024

In the current context, the way military actions are carried out determines rethinking the military leadership and approaching it through the lens of hybrid, non-kinetic approaches, of high precision technologies and of those that integrate all areas of military operations. Potential adversaries are increasingly using non-kinetic warfare strategies that include subversive and disinformation campaigns, espionage and cyber attacks. Thus, non-kinetic actions are relevant elements for military operations requiring the implementation of new operating and command-control concepts. In modern military confrontations it is imperative that leadership systems project power and use both precise and long-range kinetic actions as well as non-kinetic actions with chain effects and substantial benefits in mission accomplishments.

Published: July 2024

This article intends to emphasize the role that education has in strengthening resilience in the urban environment. It is highlighted how, starting from quantitative and qualitative aspects of some work tools dedicated to resilience, weak points of the materialization stage of the security culture to support a mature level of resilience can be identified. In practice, we can talk about a mutually supportive relationship between the two concepts: a high level of security culture allows, facilitates and augments an organizational behavior that favors resilience in the face of contemporary adversities, and the lessons learned as a result of an experience aimed at resilience adjust and provide feed-back to the security culture. Both macroconcepts have a common vein of support given by the educational component of the characteristic processes. Wanting to be as resilient as possible, against a backdrop of a robust security culture, therefore becomes a matter of preparation and training first and foremost. The research method is exploratory, accompanied by examples of known cases. The convergence of the approach has the purpose of bringing to the attention of stakeholders the usefulness of table top exercises, as a necessary training method for risk awareness and emergency management.
Traditional and Modern Sources of Information “Serving” the Image of the Public Employer – A Generational Perspective
Authors: Kurek Dorota
Published: July 2024

The image of public organizations as employers, including security institutions such as the Polish Army, is an intangible, subjective and changeable aspect, which is shaped, among other things, using modern and traditional communication platforms. The preference of information sources is an important issue in the process of employer branding, as the selection and use of the right sources of information allows to effectively inform target groups, increase the level of knowledge about the attributes of the military as an employer, eliminate misinformation and respond more quickly to image crises. With the above in mind, the purpose of the conducted research was to identify the sources of information about the military used by representatives of three generations operating in the modern labor market, including the search for a relationship between the level of attractiveness of the Polish Army and the sources of information used by the public. The conducted research aimed to show how important it is to know the target groups, their preferences, and needs, in the context of the process of building the image of a public institution as an attractive employer.
