This research aims to: (i) identify issues that arise as an result of the development of geothermal power plants in rural Tompaso, and (ii) find solutions to the issues to minimize the conflicts that arises from further geothermal power plant development in rural Tompaso and its surroundings. This study is based on the competitive intelligence research method. The results show that the development of geothermal power plants in Tompaso has a negative impact on the natural and social environment. The technical solutions offered include: (i) bioremediation by cultivating plants that absorb arsenic; (ii) biosulfurization and desulfurization for reducing air pollution, especially sulfur; (iii ) floods and extreme drought managed by improving infrastructure and reforestation; (iv) social conflicts (land acquisition, working days, labor recruitment and settlement security) are solved by intensifying program dissemination to the community and involving local communities in decision making. The recommended policy provides incentives to the local community through strategic programs for the development of human and natural resources.
Competitive intelligence as a factor of the innovation capability in Mexican companies: A structural equations modeling approach
Authors: Poblano-Ojinaga Eduardo Rafael
Published: December 2024

In today's world markets, where rivalry is increasingly intense, companies face pressure to deliver better results in a shorter time. The continual technological change produces more efficient equipment, processes and products, new business relationships due to emerging and unexpected substitute products, as well as changing consumer preferences. In this constantly changing environment, companies need useful information to develop strategies, make decisions and implement them throughout the organization to increase their competitiveness and market share. This is not easy or straightforward, it begins at the company's strategy level and ends with the creation, development, and deployment of the technological capabilities necessary to provide agile and flexible responses to customers, market situations, and technological changes. The innovation capability of companies plays an important role, as it is a critical strength, technology-based and strategic in nature, with the purpose of creating and developing new products and improved processes. This is a continuous source of competitive advantage, and a necessary element for companies that operate in highly competitive environments and under growing rivalry, in order to improve technological innovations and developments. This information is essential for decision-making and one way to generate it is through methodologies, among which competitive intelligence stands out. This article presents an investigation using a structural equation modeling methodology to evaluate the relationships between competitive intelligence and innovation capability of Mexican companies. The empirical results show that competitive intelligence has an important indirect impact on three main functions of innovation capability: creation of new concepts, innovation and technological development, and development/improvement of ideas for products, processes, and equipment. The indirect effect is through knowledge management as a mediating factor.
Some personal reflections on 11 years of JISIB editorial notes and production
Authors: Solberg Søilen Klaus
Published: December 2024

For now, this is the last issue of JISIB. The reason is that funding for Open-Source journals through NOS-HS has been halted for all journals ending in 2022. JISIB had financing through 2021. There may be a revival of Open-Source initiatives and then it’s possible to continue if we can obtain the funds, but for now JISIB will be put on pause.
JISIB came out regularly between 2011-2022, so for 11 years. For eight of these years the journal received funding from VR and NOS-HS. NOS-HS is the Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils in the Humanities and Social Sciences. It’s a cooperation between the research councils in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden responsible for research within the Humanities and Social Sciences. We are very grateful for continuous support received from NOS-HS. It has been instrumental for the advancement of Open-Source Publishing in Sweden.
The journal was started at a time when the interest for competitive intelligence (CI) was declining, during the first decade of the 21st century. Bibliometric analysis shows that JISIB has been the primary outlet for scientific articles on CI for the past decade. Most articles have been in the border between CI and business intelligence, or more specifically between software and web-solutions, web-intelligence, and social media intelligence. Some articles have been in market intelligence and other closely related areas. In France there has been a continuous interest for “intelligence economique” and in Sweden “omvärldsanalys”. We have also seen new areas emerge and some areas increase in popularity, like collective intelligence, foresight and insight (competitive and market insight). However, the core of the content is much the same despite this relabeling. It’s still about processes for providing decision makers with need-to-know information.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interrelation of the main variables affecting technology intelligence management to design an appropriate model of high technologies intelligence management at national level organisations. Based on a literature review, a conceptual model was developed. It includes 11 main variables classified into three levels: the operational, managerial, and environmental levels. Participants in the present research included 160 experts in technology intelligence from Iranian universities and industry, 137 of whom completed the research questionnaire. Research information and hypotheses were analysed and tested using structural equation modeling, SPSS, and LISREL software. The findings show that to properly manage a technology intelligence system in high technologies at national level organisations, attention to the managerial and operational levels is more important than environmental factors. It also shows that to establish technology intelligence in organisations, managers should pay more attention to these factors to gain confidence in the effectiveness of the implementation of this system.

Intertextuality in the research of the language of science is the analysis of various written indications and language-specific formulations; thus, it is an important part of the study of the scientific style of each language. The aim of this study is to investigate and describe the specifics of intertextuality in linguistic papers in Latvian, focusing on (1) types of citations, (2) the integration of citations in the text, and (3) the linguistic means used for introducing the citation. Based on the reference and empirical material content analysis and the calculation of its quantitative parameters, the study of the verb forms and semantic classification used for the citation application in integrated and non-integrated citations has been carried out on the basis of excerpted citations and paraphrases found in the texts.
The results obtained show a wide variety of uses and forms of references. The corpus created for this study consists of 30 linguistics papers selected according to certain criteria; the average number of cited works per article is 30, and the average number of references is 42, but their variation is significant – from 4 to 147 references per article. The predominant type of citation is paraphrasing – 85% of all citations. Different subtypes of citations have been identified for both integrated and non-integrated citations.
Diversity can be observed in the range of verbs selected for the citation and their forms of use. 246 excerpted examples show 76 different meanings of verbs in the simple present or simple past, in the form of the continuous present with or without an auxiliary verb, verbs that impose a requirement, in passive forms of the continuous and simple present, as well as in the broader syntactic constructions together with a participle clause.
The semantics of the verbs used for the citation indicate various activities; they can inform, define, express an opinion, evaluate, point to the classification or focus on the insights used.
The obtained results confirm the complex nature of intertextuality and allow us to conclude the need for further research in relation to the analysis of citation functions in separate parts of scientific articles, as well as in comparison with the genres of other scientific texts and/or texts of other fields. The results obtained in the study can be integrated into methodological instructions for different target groups.
Theoretical Calculations on Simultaneous Emission Removal from a Waste Gasification Plant
Authors: Malollari Ilirjan , Vaso Terkida , Çoçka Gresada
Published: December 2024

This study presents a detailed and comprehensive methodology for theoretical engineering calculations in a modelled waste gasification plant. The aim is to determine the most effective way to clean up exhaust gases or emissions from industrial combustion processes. The pollution from chemical processes is significant due to the direct emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere, such as SOx, NOx, COx, O3, etc. To achieve this, we utilised the ASPEN PLUS simulation computer program, which facilitated a series of theoretical calculations during the procedure and optimisation of capturing the abovementioned dangerous gases and cleaning them out. This work involves two processes: the absorption of chimney's emissions from waste gasification plants, which consists mainly of a reactor and an absorber, and cleaning the contaminated remaining liquid from the absorber at the end of the capturing process. Through meticulous simulation and computer calculations, we have determined the absorbing rate of the polluting gases and completed a thorough sensitivity analysis for the entire process. This precision in our calculations instils confidence in our results' reliability and the proposed methods' potential effectiveness, reaffirming the trust in our research findings.

Authors: Car Ana , Kaleli Aydin
Published: December 2024

Despite more than 30 years of investigations, the knowledge of the composition and spatial distribution of marine benthic diatoms along both coasts of the Adriatic Sea is still limited. The distribution and a checklist of marine benthic diatom taxa in the Mediterranean sub-basin of the Adriatic Sea are presented based on literature data. The nomenclature is brought up to date and synonyms are included. Eight hundred and twenty-two species belonging to 70 families and 163 genera have been reported. The number of pennate species represented was 719. Families with the highest number of genera were: Naviculaceae (8), Bacillariaceae (7), Surirellaceae (6), Fragilariaceae (6). The highest number of taxa belonged to the Naviculaceae (95) and Bacillariaceae (88). The most numerous genera were Mastogloia (65 taxa), Navicula (62), Nitzschia (53), Amphora (52), Diploneis (43), Cocconeis (37), Halamphora (24), Achnanthes (22), Licmophora (22), Tryblionella (19), Fallacia (15), Surirella (14), Grammatophora (13), and Lyrella (12). This study focused on the areas of investigation according to the literature reviewed and showed that many areas have to be investigated. Nevertheless, this first comprehensive checklist of marine benthic diatoms in the Adriatic Sea, updated with recent literature, is a valuable tool. However, it is important that this update has been progressive over time. Incorporating data on diatom taxa will improve the overall diversity of microalgae and our knowledge of the ecology of coastal ecosystems.

Authors: Padmanabhan Suresh Babu Roshan  , Balachandra A Shetty  , Shabnam MV
Published: December 2024

OBJECTIVE: To assess and to compare exercise tolerance and pulmonary function among middle aged persons with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and without.
 METHODS A total of 30 patients ,15 with type 2 diabetes and 15 age matched controls without diabetes recruited from a tertiary hospital, participated in the study. Exercise tolerance and pulmonary function was assessed using six -minute walk test and spirometer respectively, for both the groups.
RESULTS: In the statistical analysis, the control group was seen to fare better in all the parameters. When analysed between groups using t test, FEV1, (t=11.350, p= <0.001) FVC (t=6.249, p= <0.001), FEV1/FVC (t=13.184, p=<0.001) and 6MWT (t=11.74100, p=<0.001) was found to be significantly different between diabetic and normal group. Analysis using chi square test showed a significant difference in lung function between diabetic and non-diabetic participants.
CONCLUSION: Middle aged non-diabetic individuals showed normal performance in exercise tolerance and pulmonary function, whereas the Diabetic population had reduced exercise tolerance and pulmonary function. This implies that middle age could be a crucial stage for early prevention of decline in pulmonary function and exercise tolerance and also to prevent future complications in type 2 diabetic patients.

Authors: İşigüzel Bahar , Kaya Esra
Published: December 2024

Das Erlernen einer Fremdsprache ist ein komplexer Prozess, bei dem kognitive und emotionale Faktoren eine bedeutende Rolle spielen. Emotionen, insbesondere positive wie Motivation, fördern den Lernprozess und beeinflussen, wie Lernende neue Sprachen wahrnehmen und verarbeiten. Diese Arbeit untersucht, wie Lernende der 10. Klasse ihre Erfahrungen beim Deutschlernen durch Metaphern ausdrücken und welche Rückschlüsse daraus auf ihre emotionale und kognitive Wahrnehmung gezogen werden können. Diese qualitative Studie verwendet ein phänomenologisches Forschungsdesign, um die subjektiven Erfahrungen der Lernenden zu analysieren. Die Daten wurden durch einen Fragebogen erhoben, in dem die Teilnehmenden den Satz „Deutsch lernen ist wie…“ vervollständigen sollten. Zur Analyse der Antworten wurde die Methode der Inhaltsanalyse verwendet, bei der Metaphern kodiert und in thematische Kategorien eingeteilt wurden. Die Untersuchung wurde im Schuljahr 2023-2024 an 127 Lernenden der 10. Klassen von drei verschiedenen Gymnasien durchgeführt. Die Stichprobe bestand aus 75 weiblichen und 52 männlichen Teilnehmenden, die im Durchschnitt 15-16 Jahre alt waren und seit der 9. Klasse Deutsch als Fremdsprache lernen. Die Analyse ergab fünf Hauptkategorien: „Leiden und Negativität“ (36 %), „Lernprozesse und Entdeckungen“ (26 %), „Pragmatische Sichtweise“ (14 %), „Positives und Freude“ (13 %) sowie „Herausforderung und Schwierigkeit“ (11 %). Während einige Lernende das Deutschlernen als mühsam und anstrengend beschrieben, zeigten andere eine optimistischere Sichtweise und sahen es als wertvolle, interkulturelle Erfahrung. Insgesamt reflektierten die Ergebnisse eine breite emotionale Bandbreite, wobei negative Assoziationen leicht überwogen. Die Ergebnisse liefern wertvolle Einblicke in die individuellen Bedürfnisse und emotionalen Zustände der Lernenden, die für die Gestaltung eines motivationsfördernden Fremdsprachenunterrichts von Bedeutung sind.

Impacto respiratorio de los cigarrillos electrónicos (E-CIG) y sus efectos en la vía aérea inferior
Authors: Planchet Corredor Jenny Antonieta
Published: December 2024

Los cigarrillos electrónicos (e-cig) son un producto del tabaco y, como tales, no tienen estándares de calidad o seguridad de fabricación. Un creciente cuerpo de evidencia documenta severos daños por el uso de e-cig, incluidas lesiones por explosiones de productos, intoxicación por nicotina y enfermedades pulmonares graves. Los componentes de los e-cig de uso común tienen una significativa toxicidad inhalatoria. La evidencia emergente de estudios de laboratorio sugiere un impacto en la salud por daños a largo plazo, incluido el riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular, enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica y cáncer. No ha sido científicamente demostrada la seguridad de las e-cig o dispositivos electrónicos de suministro de nicotina (ENDS). Pruebas científicas indican que los productos varían ampliamente en la cantidad de nicotina y otros productos químicos contenidos, porque no hay forma que los consumidores descubran lo que realmente contiene el producto que ha comprado. Si en la infancia un individuo usa productos que contienen nicotina, será más fuerte su adicción y más difícil dejar de fumar. Independientemente de la presencia o ausencia de nicotina, la exposición al aerosol de e-cig en la niñez, adolescencia y edad adulta temprana no está exenta de riesgos y puede provocar toxicidad pulmonar. La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) no respalda a los e-cig como ayuda para dejar de fumar, justificando este importante tema.

Authors: Khoo Khoo Terh Jing , Wang Jiao , Esa Muneera , Sun Hui
Published: December 2024

With the extensive use of digital technologies, the modern construction industry has made progress in improving productivity and safety. Despite this, construction productivity remains among the lowest in the industry. With the development of Industrial Revolution 4.0, the construction industry has also benefited from it, forming the idea behind Construction 4.0, which is founded on: the digitization of the construction sector and the industrialization of the construction procedure. The current use of digital twins in the construction industry is considered among the most successful and influential ways to achieve Construction 4.0, optimize construction links, and improve coordination among stakeholders. Many factors are impacting the construction industry's adoption of digital twins. Previous studies have failed to propose a practical model to facilitate the implementation of digital twins in the construction industry. This study fills this gap. First, this study conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) based on Web of Science and Scopus databases to identify negative and positive factors. SLR identifies four aspects of factors, including technical factors, stakeholder factors, external factors, and economic factors. A conceptual model is then proposed using an interpretive structural modeling analysis approach. The model is used to describe the interaction of these factors in digital twins implementation, and finally, recommendations are made to mitigate the negative factors based on the model. This conceptual model helps guide digital twin implementation in the construction industry and helps build a knowledge system of digital technology. The findings will support practitioners in the construction industry using or planning to use digital twins.

Implementing best practices in oil palm fertilisation is pivotal for enhancing fresh fruit bunch production within the oil palm cultivation sector. However, small-scale farmers in Malaysia still encounter a notable deficiency in understanding fertiliser management. Therefore, providing easily accessible and comprehensible sources of palm fertilisation information is crucial, with a focus on materials containing verified and dependable content from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB). This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the oil palm fertiliser infographic mobile app module for smallholders. The module’s content was made simpler by referring to multiple documentation sources regarding recommended palm fertilisers by the Agronomic Unit of the MPOB. The infographic module is designed to encourage best practices in palm fertilisation for smallholders through a user-friendly mobile app platform. A module draft was submitted to five specialists in palm fertiliser and module development to assess its validity. Several improvements were made based on the comments and feedback gained from these experts. 55 individuals, including smallholders, contributed to evaluating the module’s reliability and the impact of the knowledge practices in palm fertilisation. The entire module’s content attained a validity rate of 90%, confirming the acceptance of its content validity. Furthermore, the module recorded a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.981, indicating a high level of reliability. The utilisation of this module within the mobile app platform suggests that the application could effectively improve users’ knowledge of palm oil fertilisation practices. These findings demonstrated that the Infographic Oil Palm Fertilizer is appropriate and successful in achieving the intended learning objectives.
Dot Blot Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) Antibody Analysis Directed against Differentially Extracted Antigens Derived from Whole Cell Proteins of Neisseria meningitidis and Non-pathogenic Species in Meningococcal Vaccinated, Healthy and Other Disease Individuals
Authors: Rosdan Nor Hafeeda , Abdul Kader Zainoodin Sheik , Ahmad Nor Hazwani
Published: December 2024

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening illness caused by Neisseria meningitidis invading the bloodstream. Early identification is crucial, as the disease progresses rapidly within the first few hours. Diagnosis relies on clinicians recognising common clinical symptoms since laboratory tests may not be rapid enough. Although commercial serological tests are available, they have drawbacks such as cost and the need for trained personnel. Most people have natural immunity to meningococcal disease due to consistent exposure to meningococci, other Neisseria species, and related genera that share common antigens. Researchers are exploring the mechanisms to develop more effective vaccines. Therefore, this study aimed to modify and evaluate Dot Blot EIA on nitrocellulose membrane of differentially extracted antigens derived from whole cell protein of N. meningitidis and non-pathogenic Neisseria species for serodiagnosis. Furthermore, this study aimed to investigate the humoral immune response patterns against meningococcal vaccinated, healthy and other diseases individuals. Additionally, investigate the potential for cross-reactivity with other Neisseria species or Moraxella genera. Analysis of the humoral immune response patterns revealed that most vaccinated individuals had IgG antibodies, as well as some presence of IgM and IgA antibodies. Although Men A and Men B of WCP and CSP did not show detectable antibodies in any of these types, their presence was revealed through the use of three different extraction methods. This demonstrates the sensitivity of our Dot Blot EIA assay. Conversely, the other disease group primarily exhibited IgM antibodies. Both the healthy group and individuals with other diseases may also have IgG and IgA antibodies present. Interestingly, some results from the healthy individuals showed a similar humoral immune response pattern as the vaccinated group. The presence of all antibody types in closely and distantly related species suggests the development of natural immunity. These commensal bacteria may share epitopes with pathogenic bacteria, leading to the production of cross-reactive antibodies and immune responses. Ultimately, further studies are necessary to fully validate and establish the potential of the Dot Blot EIA that may offer valuable insights into the immune response to meningococcal disease and vaccine effectiveness.

In Chile, photography arrived at the end of the 19th century together with the establishment of settlements of migrants from central Europe to southern Chile. The aims of this study are: (i) contextualise functional states of existing buildings in a specific sector of the historic Valdivia city centre; (ii) determine the state of conservation of the 42 cases under study; (iii) conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses of the main pathologies presented in the sample; (iv) perform an analysis focused on the urban context according to façade alignment, façade visibility index, and ratio of height versus street width; and (v) comparatively analyse the results achieved. This research reflects the importance of developing innovative procedures and mitigation strategies focused on preventive maintenance actions and future control systems that can maximise the resilience of a specific local context (Los Ríos region) and its surroundings. This study revealed that the number of pathologies detected was directly proportional to the state of conservation of the cases, classified by the functional service life model. Properties in Condition C were mainly affected by pathologies of a structural nature, which indicates that their functionality is not guaranteed, and a deeper inspection is needed for conservation and preservation actions.
Poétique du réalisme magique dans The Ventriloquist’s Tale de Pauline Melville : de la liminalité à la complexité
Authors: Gourg Claudie
Published: December 2024

Au travers d’une saga familiale enjambant tout le XXe siècle, Pauline Melville explore la richesse et les ravages de différentes vagues de colonisation. Sa propre hybridité identitaire, comme celle de son pays, ne peuvent s’exprimer qu’au moyen du « réalisme magique ». Cet article se concentre sur les diverses techniques narratives mises en œuvre afin de transmuer ce qui est bel et bien une charge critique érudite et une dénonciation implacable, en une grande réhabilitation du mythe. La subversion esthétique par le merveilleux maîtrisé du mythe, se révèle le vecteur le plus apte à faire vivre un imaginaire en danger d’anéantissement.
Middle Passage Narratives: Flight, Loss and Resistance
Authors: Aurélia Dominique
Published: December 2024

This paper focuses on the various strategies contemporary Diasporic female writers explore in order to textualize the memory of oblivion, void and failure engendered by the dismemberment of the Middle Passage.The process of re-appropriating and rewriting history is surely not new to women writers of African descent. In the context of neo-slave narratives, the necessity to claim history has already been advanced by women writers such as Toni Morrison or Margaret Walker whose texts produced meaning that demystified the unique official reading called History; thus their stories turned into “Herstory”1. However, to diasporic women writers who must deal with their ambivalent position of insiders/outsiders, retelling “herstory” takes a much deeper meaning, which implies voicing resistance, re-imagining roots and routes, and challenging prevailing discourses of power. Fabienne Kanor, Edwidge Danticat aptly illustrate the (de)-constructive poetics of putting back fragments and voids into a w/hole.
Santé, culture et soins dans le contexte du VIH en Guadeloupe. Une lecture intersectionnelle des catégorisations et des prises en charge
Authors: Mulot Stéphanie
Published: December 2024

Cet article montre comment l’intersectionnalité peut être utilisée comme outil pour comprendre, d’une part, les catégorisations et les subjectivités dans le contexte de l’épidémie de VH/SIDA en Guadeloupe et, d’autre part, les formes d’altérisation des patients haïtiens en raison de leur culture. Il vise à montrer comment le SIDA est un révélateur des hiérarchisations qui agissent dans les rapports sociaux de sexe et les pratiques de prévention au sein de la population. Il analyse aussi la façon dont les soignants eux-mêmes sont parfois amenés à reproduire ces hiérarchies et catégorisations à l’hôpital, au nom de justifications culturelles, envers des patients vulnérables, au sein d’un dispositif caractérisé par des failles organisationnelles. L’analyse intersectionnelle permet de mettre en évidence le cumul de facteurs qui peuvent aboutir à des formes de discriminations dans le soin.
Lecture du cinéma caribéen féminin francophone. L’activisme nègre et féministe de Euzhan Palcy
Authors: Toumson Yolande-Salomé
Published: December 2024

En Martinique, Euzhan Palcy est une icône. Par delà les frontières de son île natale, elle est un véritable mythe. Sa renommée internationale est irréfutable, malgré un parcours semé d’obstacles qui évoquent le concept d’intersectionnalité de Kimberley Crenshaw : son sexe, son âge à l’époque, et son origine. Son engagement vis-à-vis de la diaspora noire est le fil conducteur qui guide ses choix narratifs et thématiques, ainsi que dans ses collaborations avec des réalisateurs africains. Cette part visible et assumée de sa pratique complexe d’auteur, dont la source est profondément inscrite dans son vécu, impose de lever les barrières qui séparent les méthodologies d’analyse du cinéma et de ses objets films, pour permettre de lever le voile sur les réseaux de signifiance, leurs enjeux. Mais il s’agit aussi de mettre au jour les échos pérennes dans les œuvres des réalisateurs de la Caraïbe insulaire francophone, jusqu’à parvenir questionnements et partis-pris esthétiques contrastés de la jeune génération des réalisateurs des années 2000.
