Method: A systematic review of articles searched through PubMed and Google Scholar from 2009 to 2024. Retrieved articles were screened using selected items from a systematic review and flow diagram meta-analysis (PRISMA). The inclusion criteria in this review were articles in English or Indonesian that discussed factors that influence the completeness of basic vaccinations for children under five.
Results: Eight of the 244 articles were obtained from database searches. In general, the factors that influence the completeness of vaccination are divided into several levels, namely individual, family, community and country. At the individual and family level, the factors identified are knowledge, education, healthy living behavior, marital status, number of family members, number of children, child spacing, child birth order, economy, and family support. At the community and country level, several factors influence, among others, visits by health workers, providing information about vaccinations, officers' attitudes, living in poor, urban areas, illiterate communities, and the country's fertility rate.
Conclusion: Socioeconomics is still a factor influencing the completeness of vaccination in low and middle income countries in the last 15 years. Various existing factors should be evaluated and solutions sought that can be adapted and implemented, such as training for health workers, communication training for health workers, health education approaches for heads of families, increasing access to health services by utilizing technology, and so on.
Suggestion: Developing countries need innovative approaches to identify and understand factors associated with the social determinants of vaccination programs.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Ukraine, Myskiv Galyna , Pasinovych Iryna ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Ukraine
Published: September 2024

This article provides a cause-and-effect analysis of the impact of carbon emissions on climate change and on the sustainable development of European countries. Despite the consolidated efforts of the world community, the global amount of greenhouse gas emissions is not decreasing, leading to irreversible climate change. The objective of this paper is to explore Europe’s progress towards climate neutrality in the context of ensuring sustainable development and achieving the goals of the European Green Deal. The article aims to establish an econometric relationship between the amount of carbon emissions and the energy intensity of GDP based on statistical data from European countries, and using the example of Ukraine during a full-scale invasion to demonstrate factors that inﬂuence greenhouse-gas- emissions growth despite GDP. A signiﬁcant aspect of this study is an analysis of data from 2012–2022, which indicates that Europe has reduced CO2 emissions and is successfully moving towards climate neutrality. Key efforts of EU countries in preventing climate change and transitioning to renewable energy sources are reﬂected in the context of the Green Deal. Based on econometric calculations, the direct relationship between the amount of carbon emissions and energy intensity of GDP in European countries was conﬁrmed with a probability of 0.95. The obtained interdependence allows one to predict the amount of CO2 emissions based on known values of energy intensity of GDP during stable economic development. Special attention was paid to Ukraine and the increase in CO2 emissions due to the war. The authors concluded that the war disrupted the relationship between GDP and CO2 emissions, leading to a 23% increase in emissions in 2022. Overcoming the climate crisis and ensuring sustainable development requires a global decarbonisation strategy. However, effective climate policy is impossible without achieving peace.

The fashion industry in Indonesia has undergone major changes with the development of the athleisure trend, which combines elements of sports with everyday fashion. Puma, as one of the leading brands, faces challenges in expanding its market share amidst increasingly fierce competition. This study aims to examine the impact of Citra Merek, Kepercayaan Merek, and celebrity endorsement on Puma consumers' purchasing decisions, and to evaluate the role of purchase intention as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was used in this study, with data analysis through SEM-PLS 4.. The results showed that Citra Merek, which emphasizes modern and trendy aspects, has a significant positive effect on purchase intention and purchase decision. Kepercayaan Merek was also proven to have a positive effect on both variables. In addition, celebrities who become endorsers with high reputations also increase purchase intention and purchase decision. Purchase intention plays an important role as a mediator in the relationship between Citra Merek, Kepercayaan Merek, and celebrities with purchase decision. This study provides further insight into the interaction of marketing factors and highlights the importance of exploring further into other factors that influence purchase decisions.

При дослідженнях тягових якостей на математичних моделях, моделюючи боксування локомотива вводять ряд припущень, і, як наслідок, існуючі моделі не враховують реальні умови руху локомотива, що супроводжуються динамічною взаємодією колісних пар з рейками, коли виникає ряд факторів, які значно знижують максимальний коефіцієнт зчеплення локомотива по відношенню до фізичного, в наслідок чого виникає необхідність обліку як при експериментальних, так і при теоретичних дослідженнях режимів руху екіпажу, що не встановилися. У статті запропоновано науково-обґрунтовану методику оцінки впливу динамічних навантажень, що виникають у контактах колеса з рейкою під час руху локомотива, яка найбільш точно описує особливості поведінки реального екіпажу, та відповідає існуючим нормам за критеріями вертикальної та горизонтальної динаміки, а також показниками стійкості руху і при цьому за рахунок коректного спрощення та введення обґрунтованих припущень є досить простою для проведення досліджень на ПК. Отримано залежності, що дозволяють проілюструвати вплив коефіцієнта вертикальної динаміки і відносного горизонтального ковзання на тягові якості локомотива.Аналіз отриманих залежностей показав, що зі збільшенням швидкості руху колісно-моторного блоку (КМБ) коефіцієнт вертикальної динаміки і відносні горизонтальні ковзання ростуть. При цьому, чим більше жорсткість зв’язку кузова з візком локомотива, тим менше горизонтальне поперечне ковзання колісної пари в рейковій колії. Коефіцієнт запасу по зчепленню зі зростанням швидкості руху зменшується, що викликано збільшенням коливань вертикального динамічного навантаження і відносного горизонтального ковзання. При цьому зі збільшенням моменту, що повертає, вплив швидкості на коефіцієнт запасу по зчепленню стає менш значущим. Таким чином, зі збільшенням швидкості руху КМБ, а значить і зі збільшенням коливань вертикального динамічного навантаження і відносного горизонтального ковзання колісної пари по рейках коефіцієнт запасу по зчепленню значно зменшується. Подані залежності зміни коефіцієнта запасу по зчепленню в залежності від коефіцієнта вертикальної динаміки, а також від відносного горизонтального поперечного ковзання показують, що зі збільшенням коефіцієнта динаміки коефіцієнт запасу по зчепленню зменшується на 4,5%, а зі збільшенням відносного поперечного ковзання зменшується з 0,97 до 0,92.

Published: September 2024

Forecast accuracy is a crucial topic for industrial companies, and its impacts are particularly important for the finance and production departments. The company can incur high costs if forecasts are inaccurate, for example, due to stock-outs or excess inventory.
Therefore, this study aimed to optimize accessories forecasting for a medium-sized Swiss enterprise. To do so, different forecasting techniques were tested, and statistical methods and machine learning (ML) algorithms were compared. The results were adjusted according to key account managers’ (KAM) expertise.
This paper presents a comparison between exponential smoothing, seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA), SARIMAX (SARIMA with exogenous variables) and ML algorithms, such as k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, linear regression, and even random forest (RF).
To compare these different methods, two measures of statistical dispersion are computed: mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean squared error (RMSE). The results are standardized to enable a better comparison. For our dataset, SARIMAX (with the KAMs’ expertise as an exogenous variable) gives better results than all the ML algorithms tested.
Supply Chain Shocks and Retail Resilience: The Dynamics of Global Value Chains and Inventories
Authors: Williams Corey J. M.
Published: September 2024

We examine the role and relationship of global value chains and inventories by delving into the dynamic effects of upstream manufacturing shocks on downstream retailer performance. Motivated by the pivotal role inventories play in firm demand management, our research employs a novel two-step methodology involving a reduced-form semiparametric smooth coefficient model, and a structural vector autoregressive model. The findings, based on monthly data spanning from January 1999 to December 2021, reveal a profound, and enduring impact of manufacturing supply chain shocks on the retail sector. Following a unit supply chain shock, downstream retailers experience a substantial and lasting increase in inventory accumulation, accompanied by a short-term decline, and subsequent stabilization in sales. Moreover, post-shock, retailers experience a permanent decrease in output, underscoring the far-reaching, and persistent consequences of disruptions in upstream supply chain agents on downstream retail operations.
Founders’ Characteristics and Startups’ Funding Opportunities Around the Globe
Authors: Malinin Artem
Published: September 2024

In this paper, I investigate the eleven largest startup markets in the world to uncover whether female founders have a disadvantage in the amount of funding received by their respective startups. I am also interested in whether country-level factors such as the level of development and quality of formal and informal institutions can impact the results. Moreover, I research founders with formal technical education to show if they have any advantage while funding their startups.
I investigate more than 3,500 international startups during the period of 2017-2022 while utilizing CrunchBase database. I uncover that female founders are at a disadvantage in funding for their startups in all 11 countries of interest. Such results are more pronounced in developed countries, those with better functioning formal institutions and more individualistic populations. The disparity between male and female-led startups’ funding is especially pronounced in debt financing as well as seed round of equity financing. The technical education of male and female founders does not provide any advantage in terms of the funding opportunities.
The Recipe of Cultural Intelligence and Racial Diversity in Predicting Food Neophobia: A Stepwise Regression Analysis Approach
Authors: Berry Kevin , Boyer-Davis Stacy
Published: September 2024

This study explored how the cultural intelligence (CQ) and the racial/ethnic experiences of 172 undergraduate students from a Northwestern United States university influenced their levels of food neophobia. Two instruments, the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CSQ) and the Food Neophobia Scale (FNS), were used to collect observations from the sample population (Ang & Dyne, 2008; Pliner & Hobden, 1992). Demographic questions and those related to the racial/ethnic background of participants were also incorporated into the survey. The stepwise regression analysis revealed significant relationships between cultural intelligence, having more than one or multiple ethnic/racial backgrounds or experiences, and food neophobia scores. Findings suggested greater cultural intelligence and more exposure to ethnic/racial backgrounds or experiences are related to lower levels of food neophobia. These results underscore the importance of cultural competence and inclusivity in higher education to promote culinary diversity and minimize food neophobia. Colleges and universities must take note of these important dining findings, which are vital to enrollment and retention strategies and the well-being of their students.
