Published: September 2022

Background: There is a plethora of literature with some conflicting findings on the effects of implementing strength and/or aerobic training or circuit training exercises to improve motor function of children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Circuit training is a form of body conditioning that involves endurance training, resistance training, high-intensity aerobics, and exercises performed in a circuit. Purpose: To investigate the effect of circuit training program on gross motor functions and functional capacity in children with hemiplegic CP. Methods: Thirty-two children with hemiplegic CP from both genders (8-12 years) with motor functional level of I and II based on Gross Motor Functional Classification System were assigned into two equal groups (control and study). The control group received a selected conventional physical therapy program for 60 minutes, including 35 minutes directed to lower limb. The study group received circuit training program for 35 minutes. The program for both groups was conducted twice per week for 12 successive weeks. Gross motor functions and functional capacity of both groups were evaluated by the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) version 66 (Domains D and E) and the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) respectively before as well as after the treatment period.

Published: September 2022

A liveable city is concerned with urban development and the living environment of residents. Bangkok could be considered one of the best destination cities in the world, with low prices, excellent service, and diverse tourist attractions. Although Bangkok is one of the best cities for tourism, the best city for tourism does not refer to a liveable city for the residents. This present study aimed to investigate the relationships between urban tourism, urban development, and liveable city in particular areas of Bangkok using data from the Traffy Fondue application. The study employs mixed methods, comprising questionnaires for foreign tourists in both English and Chinese, interviewing stakeholders, and searching for online open data from popular travel websites for popularity and satisfaction. For a liveable city for the residents, we employed the set of open source data from the Traffy Fondue application operated by the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority (BMA). The results demonstrated that an urban environment for tourists did not refer to a liveable city for the residents. Furthermore, additional elements – mobility facilities for tourists and residents were the most considerable challenges to urban environment improvement for both urban tourism and a liveable city in Bangkok.

Published: September 2022

This study attempted to explore the factors affecting the change in the national balanced development policy based on Kingdon's MSF model and suggest a plan for effective balanced development policy in the future. Methodologically, big data analysis was used along with literature analysis. The analysis results show that the factors affecting the change in the national balanced development policy were influenced by policy problems and policy alternatives at the time, but the most affected was the flow of politics. It should be noted that during the MB Administration and Moon Jae-in Administration, the policy window opened in accordance with the big political trend of "regime change," and the name, degree of implementation, and content of the national balanced development policy changed accordingly. It also supports that the policy output would be influenced by the president's national philosophy following the launch of the new government.
Il diritto al parto in anonimato
Authors: Knoll Barbara
Published: September 2022

Il lavoro esamina i conflitti che possono nascere tra il diritto a conoscere le proprie origini e il diritto della madre di partorire in anonimato e descrive l’evoluzione legislativa e giurisprudenziale sulla questione. Dopo un’attenta analisi dello status di filiazione e della sua evoluzione nell’ordinamento giuridico italiano ci si sofferma sulle diverse modalità di accertamento dello stato di figlio sia all’interno del matrimonio che al di fuori di esso. Si pone poi l’attenzione sull’istituto del parto in anonimato, la sua ratio e le sue origini. In questo ambito si menziona l’istituto post medievale della cosiddetta “ruota degli esposti”, come quello delle moderne “culle per la vita”. In chiusura si esamina il diritto del figlio a conoscere le proprie origini, come interpretato dalla più recente giurisprudenza sia nazionale che sovranazionale, anche a seguito della nota sentenza Godelli della Corte Europea dei diritti dell’uomo. Si ha anche modo di affrontare la questione della reversibilità o meno del segreto della madre sulla propria identità dopo il suo decesso e in caso di sua incapacità di intendere e di volere, come anche quella della possibilità data al figlio di effettuare il cosiddetto “interpello” al fine di un’eventuale revoca da parte della madre della sua dichiarazione di non voler essere nominata.
Stromingen en hun sympathisanten binnen de Protestantse Kerk
Authors: De Jong G. , Kregting J.
Published: September 2022

The Protestant Church in the Netherlands, also known as the PKN, is a pluriform church, meaning that multiple religious currents, such as orthodox and evangelical but also liberal and traditional, are united in this church. Some of these currents are more or less institutionalized. The former Dutch Reformed Church, which is also part of the PKN, identified these institutionalized currents as modalities (modaliteiten). In this article we have estimated the size of these currents. We have found that the Gereformeerde Bond (an orthodox current of the PKN) is the largest institutionalized current, with over 8.000 official members. Like all currents the Gereformeerde Bond has more sympathizers (people that contribute to or feel affinity with the statements of that current) than official members. We have found that the confessional (confessionele) current has 470.000 sympathizers, the mainstream (midden-orthodox) current 360.000, the orthodox current (the earlier mentioned Gereformeerde Bond) 290.000, and both the liberal (vrijzinnige) and evangelical (evangelische) currents have 145.000 sympathizers. The orthodox current has the highest participation levels (church attendance) in combination with a relatively young population. We have found these figures by re-analyzing a study, by Kaski, on several currents in the PKN and their social and cultural activities. According to us, this is the first systematic calculation of several religious currents in the PKN.

Authors: Rastogi Nidhi , Rastogi Alind
Published: September 2022

Among the existing activities in managing tropical forests, conservation efforts for Sal (Shorea robusta) forest in Tripura have virtually offered very valuable results. 68 plant species belonging to 41 taxonomic families were identified in such study areas. Remarkable dissimilarity between the stands of the restored coppice crop (7 and 16 years) and natural forest (approx. 45 years) was observed. Ground flora of young coppice crop was enriched with herb species while the density of shrubs and woody climbers was higher in the natural stand. Density per ha of herbs, shrubs and trees varied between 168000-497800, 18800-42112, 1100-2975 respectively. Total basal cover (m2 per ha) of herbs, shrubs and trees ranged between 0.524-0.941, 0.138-0.952, 2.333- 86.295 respectively. In the shrub layer 24.9% to 46.2% of the density and 53.4-81.6% of the Total Basal Cover (TBC) was shared by saplings belonging to economically and medicinally important tree species. It also indicates the regeneration potential of the area. Diversity index (Shannon Wiener Index) varied between 0.918- 0.967 for herbs, 0.743-0.876 for shrubs and 0.859 for trees. Values of Jaccard Similarity index were between 33-80% in herb layer, 22-48% in shrub layer, 14-100% in tree layer. The study brings out that the distribution of most of the species was random to contagious. Important flora viz. Smilax zeylanica, Vitex peduncularis, Ziziphus rugosa were the common species of the plant community on account of intact natural habitat.

Due to the explosive growth of information in recent years, the function of education, which disseminates information, has become more important. Meanwhile, the paradigm of the educational process is undergoing a transformation to accommodate the many methods in which today's pupils learn. As a result, we should promote a more technologically advanced school setting. It uses a variety of technologies for communication and information to engage pupils and meet their individual needs. Continuously observing and evaluating the condition and actions of various students using information from various sensors and data processing platforms for providing feedback on the process of learning might improve the quality of learning for students. The potential for the IoT to improve people's quality of life and the efficiency of businesses is enormous. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of behavior (IoB) have the potential to provide a new ecosystem for application development while also facilitating expansions and enhancements to key utilities in a wide variety of domains by means of a widely dispersed local network of intelligent items. Students will learn more quickly, and instructors will be able to do their jobs more effectively when the notion of the Internet of Things is used in any educational setting. The purpose of this article is to employ neutrosophic sets to demonstrate some of the most fundamental aspects of the Internet of Things. We used the MCDM methodology to evaluate the conflicting criteria, so we used the neutrosophic AHP method to compute the weights of the criteria, and then we used the neutrosophic VIKOR to rank the alternatives. We also demonstrated how IoT may help us make better choices in our everyday lives and contribute to a more intelligent educational system.
On the issue of improving the institution of responsibility of civil servants in the Russian Federation (based on the experience of the era of Peter the Great)
Authors: Бычкова Екатерина Игоревна , Литвин Алёна Сергеевна
Published: September 2022

Реализуя свои полномочия, государственные служащие различных органов вступают в особые правоотношения, содержание которых напрямую зависит от органа, в котором осуществляется служебная деятельность. Законодатель в целях поддержания дисциплины среди государственных служащих закрепляет виды ответственности служащих, которые определяются различными отраслями права, в зависимости от тяжести совершенного правонарушения. Сегодня в России полным ходом идет административная реформа, в том числе по вопросам совершенствования правового статуса государственных служащих, уточнения видов и оснований их юридической ответственности перед народом, государством, физическими и юридическими лицами. В статье говорится о возникновении института ответственности государственных служащих в связи с развитием законодательной базы о государственной службе в эпоху Петра I. Проводится анализ оснований ответственности и мер наказания, установленных для государственных служащих за совершение ими правонарушений, в эпоху Петра I и в современной России. Дается оценка состояния нормативной правовой базы о государственной службе и ответственности государственных служащих. Государственная служба сегодня является важным правовым институтом, средством реализации государственной власти, и установление конкретных мер юридической ответственности будет способствовать созданию условий, обеспечивающих должное поведение государственных служащих, и качественному взаимодействию с гражданским обществом.

Exercising their powers, civil servants of various bodies enter into special legal relations, the content of which directly depends on the body in which the official activity is carried out. The legislator, in order to maintain discipline among civil servants, fixes the types of responsibility of employees, which are determined by various branches of law, depending on the severity of the offense committed. Today, administrative reform is in full swing in Russia, including on improving the legal status of civil servants, clarifying the types and grounds of their legal responsibility to the people, the state, and individuals and legal entities. The article talks about the emergence of the institution of responsibility of civil servants in connection with the development of the legislative framework on public service in the era of Peter I. The authors analyze the grounds of responsibility and penalties established for civil servants for committing offenses in the era of Peter I and in modern Russia, and assess the state of the regulatory legal framework on public service and responsibility of civil servants. The civil service today is an important legal institution, a means of exercising state power, and the establishment of specific measures of legal responsibility will contribute to the creation of conditions that ensure proper behavior of civil servants and high-quality interaction with civil society.

The main result of the study was the definition of the nature and concept of departmental procedural control over the activities of investigative bodies and its elements.
Modern instruments of state financial regulation and regional economic development
Authors: Буздалина Ольга Борисовна
Published: September 2022

В настоящее время особое внимание уделяется разработке мероприятий, направленных на достижение сбалансированности экономического развития в масштабе всей страны. В современных условиях существует острая реальная необходимость формирования конкурентоспособной и независимой экономики, что связано с введением экономических санкций против нашей страны и со степенью зависимости отечественной экономики от цен на энергоресурсы. Программный подход позволяет определить цель и соответствующие пути ее достижения. Такой подход предполагает построение программы на основе цели, с точки зрения которой оцениваются имеющиеся и необходимые ресурсы и достижимый наилучший результат. Программно-целевой подход позволяет осуществлять именно целевое распределение и использование ресурсов, которое подразумевает переход от совместного финансирования к финансированию по результатам. Это позволяет оценивать деятельность органов публичного управления (отдельных сотрудников) по конечным результатам, то есть проводить оценку эффективности.

Currently, special attention is being paid to the development of measures aimed at achieving a balanced economic development throughout the country. In modern conditions, there is a real need to form a competitive and independent economy, which is associated with the introduction of economic sanctions against our country and with the degree of dependence of the domestic economy on energy prices. The program approach involves setting a goal and probable ways to achieve it. That is, the program is built around a goal, on the basis of which the available resources are evaluated in terms of the possibility of achieving a positive or best result. The program-target approach allows for the targeted allocation and use of resources, which implies a transition from co-financing to results-based financing. This makes it possible to evaluate the activities of public administration bodies (individual employees) based on the final results, that is, to evaluate the effectiveness.

Published: September 2022

With historic investments in the community school approach at the federal and state levels, educational leaders must understand how to build, implement, and sustain high-quality community schools in policy and practice. This study builds this understanding by examining the relationship between district support, community schools, and whole child educational practices within the Oakland Unified School District. This report describes how the district supports three community schools—one elementary, one middle, and one high school—by providing a centralized infrastructure that enables them to function as community schools while also prioritizing whole child educational practices.
Seeing Through the Bell Jar: Distorted Female Identity in Cold War America
Authors: Smith Rosi
Published: September 2022

Through the character of Esther in Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, this essay investigates the struggle of middle-class white women coming of age in 1950s America to achieve personalized identities. It argues that the Cold War era led to the creation of an ideology of cultural containment, enforcing prescriptive roles on women within an American suburban, conservative, and conformist setting. Investigated here are methods by which this model of domesticity was promoted. Also, examined here is the fracturing of identity those methods caused in women, who were unable to fully assimilate themselves into this role. Butler’s theory of performativity is employed to assess strategies of female identity formation. Furthermore, it indicates how functionalist approaches arising from popular Freudianism defined gender roles as principally biologically determined and saw differing models of sexuality and female dissatisfaction as illnesses treatable by psychology. In this context, Esther’s search for a self with whom she can identify becomes the novel’s principal quest and is, by drawing on the concept of hyper-realism, explored through the processes of observation, reflection, and image reproduction.
Hybridity as a “Narrative of Liberation” in Trevor D. Rhone’s Old Story Time
Authors: Barthel Johannes
Published: September 2022

“The problem is important. I propose nothing short of the liberation of the man of color from himself” (8), writes Frantz Fanon in Black Skin, White Masks. Patrick Taylor has been identifying what he calls the “narrative of liberation” throughout Fanon’s critical work, and his analysis of this can be linked with phenomena of hybridity. In Trevor D. Rhone’s play Old Story Time, hybridity is presented as such a liberating narrative. Hybridity is included in the play on several levels, beginning with the setting. The vernacular used by many of the play’s characters also reveals its hybrid character. Furthermore, on the formal level Trevor Rhone has created a drama that resists categorization into the Western form of epic drama by emphasizing the role of the Caribbean storytelling tradition. On the level of characters, Miss Aggy overcomes her self-destructive internalized racism in the final scene when she accepts the hybrid nature of her identity. In this sense, Old Story Time incorporates what Taylor terms an “imperative of liberation” (188). Read as an allegory to the society of the West Indies, the play calls for the acceptance of its hybrid nature as a means of overcoming the colonial legacy.

Authors: caslan Fethiye , Cicek Ekrem , Gungoren Sumeyra , Kutuk Meryem , Tufan Ali
Published: September 2022

Objective: Childhood Onset Fluency Disorder (COFD) is associated with elevated levels of emotional/ behavioral problems and peer bullying. Studies on Turkish children with COFD are limited. We aimed to evaluate rates of peer bullying and its relationships with stuttering severity and symptoms of depression and anxiety among Turkish children with COFD.
Method: Forty 8-12 years old children with COFD without comorbid neurological/ medical disorders and 36 age- and gender-matched controls were evaluated with self-report scales for depression, trait/ state anxiety and peer bullying. Stuttering severity was evaluated with Stuttering Severity Instrument-4. Multivariate and bivariate analyses were used in comparisons. P was set at 0.05.
Results: COFD group had significantly elevated depression and state anxiety scores while trait anxiety was elevated but at trend levels. 52.5 % of children with COFD was bullied while this rate was 27.8 % for controls (Odds Ratio= 2.9). Bullying was not related with gender, self-reported symptoms and stuttering severity.
Conclusion: Standardized trainings/practices should be introduced among Turkish speech and language therapists to screen and address peer bullying, depression, and anxiety among children with COFD in collaboration with child and adolescent psychiatrists.
ANAYASA MAHKEMESİ'NİN İDARENİN SAĞLIK HİZMETLERİNDEN KAYNAKLANAN SORUMLULUĞUNA İLİŞKİN BİREYSEL BAŞVURUYA KONU KARARLARININ DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: ERSÖZ Kürşat
Published: September 2022

Yaşam hakkının bir alt ilkesi mahiyetinde olan sağlık hakkının, eşit ve adil şekilde hayata geçirilmesi görevi, idareye doğrudan Anayasa ile tevdi edilmiştir. İdare bu görevini bizatihi veya özel hukuk kişilerini yetkilendirmek suretiyle yürüteceği, sağlık hizmetleri ile ifa etmektedir. Anayasa m. 56’da belirtildiği üzere sağlık hizmetlerinin yürütülmesi idarenin görev alanına girmektedir. İdare, yerine getirmekle yükümlü olduğu kamu hizmetlerini görürken çeşitli şekillerde kişilere zararlar verebilmektedir. Bu nedenle sağlık hizmetlerinin yürütülmesi sırasında yaşanan aksaklıklardan dolayı meydana gelen zararları, idare tazmin ile yükümlü tutulmaktadır. İdare, hukuk devleti ilkesinin bir gereği olarak idari eylem ve işlemleri çerçevesinde kişilere vermiş olduğu zararları tazmin etmek zorundadır.

Türk hukukunda idarenin kusurlu sorumluluğu esasen hizmet kusuru teorisi ile ortaya konulmaktadır. İdarenin eylem ve işlemlerinde kendisini gösteren hizmet kusuru, zarar ve illiyet bağının bir arada bulunduğu durumda idarenin sorumluluğu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Türk hukukunda hizmet kusurundan doğan zararlardan salt olarak idare sorumludur; bununla birlikte kamu personeli hizmet kusuru sonucu doğan zarar bakımından sorumlu değildir.

Sağlık hizmetlerinin yürütülmesinden kaynaklı zararlardan, idare kural olarak hizmet kusuru sebebiyle sorumludur. Mezkur faaliyetler idari organizasyon niteliğinden olduğundan dolayı tıbbi uygulama hatalarından farklı olarak hizmet kusurunun meydana gelmesi için idarenin ağır kusurlu olması gerekir. Ancak kamu görevlilerinin kişisel kusuru, sağlık hizmetinin yürütülmesi faaliyetinin idari niteliğini tek başına ortadan kaldırmayacağı için idari sorumluluğu sona erdiremez. Danıştay’ın kararlarında sağlık hizmetlerinden kaynaklanan uyuşmazlıklarda genel olarak tercih edilen ölçütün “ağır hizmet kusuru” olduğu; kusursuz sorumluluk ilkesinin ise istisnai surette karşımıza çıktığı söylenebilir.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine if dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis is a predictive marker for contrast-induced nephropathy for the first time in literature. Also, we aimed to investigate effecting factors for contrast-induced nephropathy in hospitalized elderly patients. Materials and methods: A total of 39 patients who administered contrast media were included in the study; 9 developed contrast-induced nephropathy after the intervention, and the other 30 did not develop; matched for age, gender, and baseline-48 hour creatinine and native thiol, total thiol, disulfide values were recorded. Additionally, antioxidant parameters were compared with other clinical parameters within a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Results: In the contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) group, native and total thiol levels decreased, and disulfide levels increased at 48 hours, but it was not statistically significant. Patients with CIN had a significantly higher level of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (p=0.032) than non-CIN patients. Serum albumin, folic acid, Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score, and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) score levels correlated with serum native thiol values in all patients, and a significant inverse correlation was found between native thiol and C-reactive protein and ferritin. Total thiol levels correlated with lymphocyte count, albumin, Katz ADL score, and MNA score in all patients, and there was a significant inverse correlation between total thiol and CRP value. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that antioxidant reserve is reduced by acute inflammation and induced by nutrition and functionality in elderly patients. In the light of this study relationship between antioxidant status and CIN can be examined in the elderly in further large, prospective, multicenter studies. Keywords: Contrast-induced nephropathy, elderly, oxidative stress, antioxidants
Pharmacological studies of sumac plant on COVID-19
Authors: Demir Elif
Published: September 2022

Since 2019, the COVID-19 virus has caused severe lung damage and acute respiratory syndrome, leading to global epidemics with high morbidity and mortality. The world health organization has declared it a cause of the pandemic. At the beginning of 2020, many national and international organizations urgently took action to develop vaccines, and dozens of approved vaccines have been developed so far. Despite the significant effectiveness of vaccines, the continuation of deaths because of COVID-19 has increased people’s interest in traditional medicine. The uncertainty in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of many diseases, especially chronic diseases, has increased the interest in treatment methods other than modern medicine all over the world. It is stated that over 85% of the population in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East use herbal medicines as the first treatment option. Some compounds are obtained from plants, especially flavonoids; the quercetin, silymarin, polyphenolic compound glycyrrhizin, and curcumin have shown antiviral activity. Sumac is the common name for a genus (Rhus) in the Anacardiaceae family that includes over 250 species of flowering plants. Many compounds such as fatty acids, phenolics, organic acids, essential oils, proteins, fibers, vitamins, and minerals have been isolated from different parts of the sumac plant. It is considered a reasonable treatment in traditional medicine because of its analgesic, anorexic, antidiarrheal, antiseptic, and antihyperglycemic properties. Djakpo and Yao reported that sumac contains potent antiviral properties. The bioactive compound of sumac with antiviral activity is polyphenol tetra-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose (TGG), a tannin. Ling et al. found that TGG exhibited significant inhibition against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Sherif et al. identified six polyphenolic compounds of Rhus spp as potential inhibitors to the SARS-CoV-2 major protease enzyme (Mpro; 6LU7). Keywords: Sumac, COVID-19, traditional medicine
Impact of Altered States of Consciousness Induced by Holotropic Respiration on Self Transcendence

Published: September 2022

This study addresses altered states of consciousness through Holotropic breathwork. This technique can induce a state of deep trance, giving access to different levels of identity construction, particularly on the emotional, somatic and psychological level. This considerable piece of introspective work falls within the school of transpersonal psychology whose major contribution is the integration of transcendent nature into human dimension. The objective is to estimate the transcendent impact of this psychotherapeutic method. The sample consists of 115 male and female participants who have tried this technique at least once. Data were collected through the Adult Transcendence Inventory (Levenson, 2005), in order to assess the level of decentration. Our statistically validated results indicate a predominantly positive impact of this psychotherapy, demonstrating a transcendental effect of the holotropic method.

The objectives of this research were to develop student citizenship indicators and to validate the consistency between models of student t citizenship indicators and the empirical data. 470 samples were drawn from the population of teachers of schools under the Office of the Basic Education Commission in Yasothon Province in the Northeast of Thailand. The research instrument for data collection was a constructed questionnaire. Basic statistical data was analyzed through a statistical package whereas first and second-order confirmatory factor analyses were done through LISREL 8.53. The results were as follows. 1. Student citizenship with key indicators from the confirmatory factor analyses was totally consisted of 6 models, 20 factors, and 54 indicators. The 6 models are 1) Model of responsibility with 4 factors and 12 indicators, 2) Model of equality with 3 factors and 7 indicators, 3) Model of respect for the rights of others with 3 factors and 8 indicators, 4) Model of public mind with 4 factors and 11 indicators, 5) Model of knowing one’s roles and responsibilities with 3 factors and 8 indicators, and 6) Model of rights and freedom with 3 factors and 8 indicators. 2. These 6 models of the student citizenship indicators were consistent with the empirical data.

A Conceptual Model of Continuous Government Auditing Using Blockchain-Based Smart Contracts
Authors: Alotaibi Eid M.
Published: September 2022

This study examines how blockchain-based smart contracts for government financial and nonfinancial events can enable the real-time, continuous auditing of integrated data and provide government auditors with a higher level of transparency. The proposed model uses a combination of blockchain technology and a continuous auditing methodology that may improve the auditing effectiveness and efficiency of governmental agencies. This study’s approach comprises three steps. First, we describe the current governmental auditing practices and the core concepts and features of the blockchain. Second, we discuss the payment process used by government agencies. Third, we examine the implementation of a blockchain-based smart-contracts framework for government auditing using the government procurement process.
How Emotional Intelligence Moderate the Relation between Perceived Justice and Counterproductive Behaviours?
Authors: Mohamed Badawy Sahar
Published: September 2022

This paper aims to reveal the power of emotional intelligence in buffering employees’ negative reactions to perceived organisational injustice manifested in counterproductive work behaviours. To test the proposed relationships, a sample of 345 employees working in hospitality private sector in Cairo-Egypt was approached. Tests of between-subjects Effects and Z-score were used to test the moderating effect of emotional intelligence. The results supported the moderating effect of emotional intelligence for counterproductive work behaviours in general and to counterproductive work behaviours directed to people specifically. As expected, high emotional intelligence people are less involved in to counterproductive work behaviours even with perceived injustice. Interestingly, individuals with moderate level of emotional intelligence were found to be more involved in CWB than people with low EI when they perceive injustice. These results could have several empirical and theoretical implications.

Authors: Hanbazazah Alaa , Reeve Carlton , Abuljadail Mohammad
Published: September 2022

Background/Aim: People from different cultures share different thoughts, values, and morals, and the activities they engage in reflect their backgrounds. Advergames are an innovative way to create relationships with your customers. For instance, advergames can be used as a communication tool between your business and the targeted customer to promote your brand. This study focuses on advergames and consumer behaviour, with the aim of investigating the similarities between Saudi Arabia (SA) and the United Kingdom (UK). Methods: This study used a quantitative approach, with participants chosen from different educational institutions in SA and the UK. A total of 500 participants were shortlisted, and questionnaires were designed and distributed among them to gather data. The questionnaire responses were measured on a seven-point Likert scale. The data were then analysed using the Statistical Package of the Social Sciences version 23.0 (SPSS). Descriptive statistical analysis using means and standard deviations was run to determine the relationship between various constructs, such as persuasiveness, level of experience, brand familiarity, and advergame design, and consumer behaviour. Results: The study found that the brand familiarity and persuasiveness of advergames influenced consumer behaviour. Furthermore, the design of advergames was found to influence consumer behaviour. The study also predicted that the level of experience with the gameplay would influence consumer behaviour. Conclusion: The study found that consumer behaviour is influenced by persuasiveness, level of experience, brand familiarity, and advergame design in the UK and SA. It is suggested that game developers and marketing experts dive right into the consumer black box to learn more about consumer choices, preferences, and comfort zones.
