Authors: Denzenlkham Ulambayar
Published: January 2023

This article talked about the position of academic researchers of the both neighbour regarding Mongolia’s «Third Neighbor» policy. Mongolia’s foreign policy analysis in south neighbour underway at the Academy of Social Sciences under the State Council of China, Global Times, the central daily newspaper of the CPC in chinese and english languages, School of International Studies, Beijing People’s University, Beijing Foreign Studies University. It should be emphasized that the Institute of Russian and Mongolian Studies of the Academy of Social Sciences, Inner Mongolia, the Department of Mongolian Studies of the Inner Mongolia University, the Inner Mongolian University of Education, and the Institute of Near Neighbour Studies of the Shanghai East China Normal University are concentrated. Regarding Russia, it is mainly focused on the Institute of Oriental Studies, the Institute of Far Eastern Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, the Moscow State University, the Diplomatic Academy, MFA, the Russian International Affairs Council, St. Petersburg State University, Irkutsk State University, and Ulan-Udе University, ect.,China’s researchers has a tendency in “advise” and some times “educate” to Mongolia on the importance of developing cooperation with its “real neighbour”. For Example, Mongolia’s geopolitical position shows that it should cooperate smartly with China and Russia.The researchers of Russia wrote that Mongolia’s “Third Neighbour” policy is utopian, and it is observed that the principle is “stuck” in its principles. Recently, the deepening of the geopolitical conflict between the two neighbour and the “third neighbour” is a matter of concern, and the criticism of the neighbouring countries is expected to transation from the level of Track 1 to the level of Track 1.5.Finally, The New paradigms of Mongolia’s foreign policy has priority to vital national interests, openness, peaceful, multi-pillars, multi-dimensional, non-Aligned, independently, priority to democratic values and pragmatism. It should be emphasized that it is not a policy directed against the two neighbors, but only peacetime geopolitics.

Pastoral Khans: from Mongolian Steppe to African Savannah
Authors: Sternberg Troy , Pinho Joanna Roque de , Batjav Batbuyan
Published: January 2023

The developing field of Mongolian International Studies offers a diverse range of research topics. A review of recent articles reflects an emphasis on geo-politics, particularly evolving relations with its superpower neighbours. Whilst state-to-state engagement with China and Russia predominates, regional countries (Japan, Korea) and the US and Europe are examined within the ‘Third Neighbour’ policy. Trade and economics are also studied, from Oyu Tolgoi and mining to the role of the IMF and international agencies. Currently lacking is a focus on human-driven engagement that reflects Mongolian livelihoods, spirituality and community environments. Such social and cultural dynamics are essential to both pastoral and rural livelihoods and to understanding the nation. In 2020-2022 international academic endeavours enabled Mongolian herder representatives to participate in a global drylands exchange network with dryland residents in thirteen countries. The process provided an exceptional opportunity to present Mongolian perspectives to pastoralists and academics from Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. This grounded Mongolian livelihoods and situated rural dynamics in a global context. Here we report key engagements and findings as Mongolian herders shared lives and practices in the context of this international pastoral/drylands project. Moving beyond the political/economic rubric, as this project did, delivers a more representative and complete comprehension of Mongolia to the global international studies community.
An Inefficacious Shock Therapy?: A Critical Analysis of Mongolian Neoliberal Reforms
Authors: Zul Zugeerbai , Cheng Hyunwook
Published: January 2023

This research aims to critically review the development process and connotation of neoliberal reform in Mongolia, which has been implemented since 1991 under the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) program. This paper outlines the historical context of the transition, the so-called shock therapy, and analyzes Mongolia’s economic performance and socioeconomic changes after neoliberal reform, particularly focusing on the free market monetary policy. The policy was a crucial turning point for Mongolia, in which neoliberalism almost eliminated the former socialist planned economy and took a dominant position in the Mongolian political economy. Over the past three decades, successive administrations have implemented various measures based on a free monetary policy promoted by the IMF to obtain foreign loans and aid. However, despite the long-term reforms, thorny issues, such as a sharp currency depreciation, soaring debts, unemployment, inflation, budget deficits, poverty, crime, and corruption, still remain unresolved. In short, Mongolia’s shock therapy transition appears to be inefficacious. The nation may need to develop policies that take into account the characteristics of their economy and are able to stabilize people’s livelihoods.

Several articles governing acts that are punishable by law in Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions as amended by Law number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions, in its implementation, it still creates multiple interpretations and controversy in society, so it is necessary to prepare implementation guidelines for law enforcement officials in carrying out their duties and authorities. Whereas there are several decisions on criminal defamation which in fact convict people who are victims, as in Decision No. 12/Pid.Sus/2019/PN Kmn the defendant had to serve a prison sentence of (1) one month as a result of his statement on Facebook which basically stated that the victim in the a quo case was a perpetrator and the husband of the defendant also admitted in his statement as a witness before the trial that The defendant's husband once had an romantic relationship with the witness-victim which resulted in the Defendant and the Victim's husband being separated. This resulted in a legal vacuum in enforcing the criminal defamation law because what was stated by the Defendant was what it was, and for this decision the Defendant suffered a great loss. many, namely the breakdown of family relationships and also having to serve time in prison. So that the Birth of the Joint Decree is expected to be the starting point for achieving legal objectives that prioritize benefits, certainty, and justice.
You Can’t Go Circular Alone – A Stakeholder Approach to Circular Innovation
Authors: Eisenreich Anja , Füller Johann
Published: January 2023

Circular solutions in industrial companies strongly depend on an interlinked network of diverse stakeholders. Therefore, innovations in the field of a circular economy are difficult to achieve in traditional innovation processes. They rather require an open innovation approach involving internal and external stakeholders in co-creations. This perspective article gives first insights on which stakeholders to involve, how to involve them, and how to overcome barriers. Research- and practice-based experience shows that diverse stakeholders should be selected based on the needs of the specific innovation context and are best involved in a network approach, possibly combined with crowdsourcing. A three-step process is suggested to overcome organizational barriers and to successfully anchor circular innovations in the company. As most firms are not experienced in open circular innovation yet, this article aims at giving them first insights on the topic to support them on their way toward a circular economy

Tech or Teach or Both? A Case Study of Digitalisation of Vocational Education and Training in Mauritius
Authors: Totaram Sanjana Devi
Published: January 2023

This paper aims at filling the gap of lack of research on the use of digital tools to teach in the vocational sector. It presents the findings of the application of the Digital Education Leadership Training in Action (C-DELTA) project for the digitalisation of the vocational education and training at the Mauritius Institute of Training and Development (MITD). Implementation of C-DELTA is in line with the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis et al., 1989) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) (Venkatesh et al.,2012). Action research has been used. The data collected has been analysed using both qualitative and quantitative techniques. A significant improvement in performance has been noted among those who adopted the digital shift. The learners were motivated to learn differently. This paper proves that the digital shift is possible in vocational training for the benefit of the students provided that the key ingredients are in place like an effective training of the trainers, a robust online platform, and active participation of the learners.
Mathematical Model and Dynamics Analysis of the Stingless Bee (Trigona sp.) in A Colony

Published: January 2023

Trigona sp. is a stingless bee species that is widely distributed in tropical countries. It has castes in thecolony, i.e. queen, worker, and male bee. Despite its size, Trigona sp. can produce high-quality commoditiessuch as honey, propolis, and bee pollen. However, it is a vulnerable species since it’s pretty easy to be predatedby several predators and has a relatively short lifespan. In addition, there are still few mathematical studiesthat discuss the population dynamics of Trigona sp. Thus, in this study, we construct a mathematical modelof the Trigona sp. population in the form of a dynamical system. The model is a nine-dimensional non-lineardifferential equation that is constructed based on the stages in the bee population, namely the stages of eggs,larvae, and adult bees from each colony except the queen colony. Coexistence analysis, stability of equilibria, and also the death parameter sensitivity analysis are carried out in two scenarios. The first scenario is a situation where none of the workers die so that the food supply at the larval stage is sufficient. Meanwhile, the second scenario is a more common situation where some worker bees die from exhaustion resulting in an insufficient food supply for the larvae stage. Stable coexistence of all sub-structures and structural dependence on the foraging behavior of the workers are shown. All the results will be presented in numerical simulation. From the results of the coexistence and stability analysis, bee farmers can maintain food availability by increasing the number of workers in a colony, or providing food sources with high contains nectar and propolis at a relatively close distance to reduce the death of worker bees.

The Academic Development approach to academic literacy in higher education South Africa: a disconnect between teaching and assessment.
Authors: Sebolai Kabelo
Published: January 2023

Academic literacy, the ability to cope with the discourse demands of higher education, is believed to be a factor in the poor graduation rates among South African students. As a result, interventions to deal with low levels of this ability have been part of the broader effort by universities to boost student completion rates. In South Africa, two approaches to these interventions and the theories informing them have seen the light of day to date. In the main, these approaches and their theories have either been generic or discipline-specific in orientation, with the latter being currently the most embraced of the two. The present article is a case study of these two theorizations of academic literacy and aims to demonstrate that although the discipline-specific approach is the most favoured, a void exists currently regarding how its teaching might translate into assessment. This is the case especially when viewed from the way that this approach has been pursued in the field of Academic Development in post-apartheid South Africa. The article demonstrates, in other words, that while the discipline-specific approach, as pursued by the field of Academic Development, is convincing in terms of how it advocates for teaching, nothing equivalent has come from this field to balance the approach from the side of assessment. Keywords: academic literacy, language ability, generic, discipline-specific, higher education, applied linguistics
Minding summaries: The development of a summary map rubric for an academic literacy intervention
Authors: Butler Anneke , Butler Gustav , Schutte Nicole
Published: January 2023

Mind mapping or summary mapping has proved to be an effective and powerful tool for meaningful visual summarising in a structured way. However, to determine whether students have reached the set outcomes for summarising in this way, an objective measuring instrument is required. The assessment of summary maps is known to be a problematic activity: (i) students have difficulty to differentiate between essential and non-essential information; (ii) lecturers tend to rely too heavily on rewarding content and not the structure in which the content is presented; (iii) as a result of the interpretative nature of summary maps, there are many levels of subjectivity imbedded in the drawing, teaching and assessment process; (iv) the nature of the summarising activity calls for a need to improve inter-marker reliability; and (v) current assessment practices may result in a wasted opportunity for constructive feedback. In search of a suitable marking rubric, several examples are available in the literature to assess summary mapping. These, however, proved to still have a high level of subjectivity and are not appropriate for North-West University’s foundational academic literacy module. Consequently, an assessment tool for summary maps (the Summary Mapping Assessment Rubric Tool—SMART) was developed that addresses typical difficulties that markers experience. The newly developed tool proves to fulfil our most important and immediate needs with regard to the fair and effective assessment of summary maps. Keywords: academic literacy, summary maps, assessment, rubric, scoring consistency, feedback

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND:

Stroke is the most common cause of disability and a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Though the incidence is falling in West but probably rising in Asia. The burden of stroke risk factors in Pakistan is enormous. Data on stroke incidence and prevalence from Pakistan is scarce; however, there are several reported case series in literature highlighting significant differences in terms of stroke epidemiology, risk factors and stroke subtypes/patterns. METHODS: This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted from August 2019 to February 2020, on 109 patients from medical units of DHQ Teaching Hospital Abbottabad. Diagnosis of cerebrovascular accidents was made on focal neurological deficit lasting more than 24 hours. CT scan brain was done in all patients to detect intra cerebral bleed. Detailed history and medical records were carefully scrutinized in the patients of intracerebral bleed to detect factors leading to it like uncontrolled hypertension. Fasting blood glucose, fasting serum cholesterol and fasting triglycerides were done to detect uncontrolled diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Data was collected on a structured proforma and analysed using SPSS 20. RESULTS: Majority of the patients were 39.81%(n=41) >70 years of age, 71 (68.93%) were male and 32 (31.07%) female, frequency of intracerebral bleed among patients presenting with acute cerebrovascular accidents was recorded in 8.74%(n=9), among them 66.67%(n=6) had history of uncontrolled hypertension, 44.44%(n=4) had diabetes and 33.33%(n=3) had hyperlipidemia.

CONCLUSIONS: Frequency of intracerebral bleed is higher among patients presenting with cerebrovascular accidents, hypertension is recorded the most common risk factor for this complication.

Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVES

To determine the frequency of depression in caregivers of stroke patients at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Karachi Pakistan.

 METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted among caregivers of stroke, who were recruited from the Aga Khan University Hospital Karachi Pakistan, between January 2018 to October 2018. Data was collected through the Urdu Hamilton rating scale for depression (HAM-D-U) and it was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

 RESULTS

A total of 136 caregivers participated in the study. Among them, 44.1 % were male and 55.9% were female. The mean age of caregivers was 45.38 ± 10.33 years. Using the HAM-D-U scale, depression was present in 64 (47.1%) caregivers. Out of them (n=64), 46 (33.8%) caregivers had mild depression whereas 18 (13.2%) had moderate depression. Depression was found to have a significant relationship with the age of the patient (p=0.002), education level of caregiver (p= 0.012), employment status of caregiver (p=0.012), being a sole caregiver (p=0.039), and monthly family income (p=0.016).

 CONCLUSIONS

Caring for patients with neurological disorders is highly challenging and demanding. The need for this role may arise unexpectedly in one’s life; leaving little space for adjustment and coping. Depression itself can be very paralyzing for the sufferer especially if moderate to severe in intensity. Depression in stroke caregivers can be missed as patients are the center of a clinical visit. Hence, strategies should be designed and reinforced to screen patients and caregivers for depression along with a pathway for an easy and timely referral.

A study of intellectual capital was conducted to determine whether it can predict firm value by moderated ROA. This study is a quantitative study using secondary data from 240 observational datasets. Purposive sampling selection with company criteria in the LQ-45 index is used as a selection method consecutively from 2017 to 2020. The method of data analysis was panel data regression and Moderated Regression Analysis. The best estimation model used is the Fixed Effect model. We find that intellectual capital predicts the firm value. We also investigated that value-added capital employed and structural capital value added had a significant effect on firm value. In contrast, value-added human capital had no effect on firm value. We prove that profitability moderates the relationship between intellectual capital and firm value. The findings reveal that intellectual capital is an important determinant of a firm's value, thus the company of the LQ-45 index in developing economies like Indonesia needs to enhance their intellectual potential. Therefore, companies must stimulate the growth of capital employed and the efficiency of structural capital for enhanced firm value by strengthening ROA performance. This allows managers to allocate resources to critical knowledge assets for intellectual capital that can be turned into a sustainable competitive advantage.

Published: January 2023

This study aims to analyze the effect of transformational leadership, entrepreneurial leadership, and intrinsic motivation on employee creativity and to investigate the role of intrinsic motivation as a mediation. This research was conducted in the export craft industry, with a quantitative approach. Collecting data using a questionnaire distributed to 114 employees, then the data is evaluated with SmartPLS 3.2.9. The results of the analysis show that transformational leadership is related to intrinsic motivation and employee creativity. While entrepreneurial leadership is related to creativity but not related to intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation has been shown to mediate transformational leadership and not to mediate entrepreneurial leadership. These results can practically provide leaders with paying attention to intrinsic motivation to increase employee creativity.
Do Emotional Intelligence and Ethical Leadership Elevate Work Engagement? The Mediating Role of Psychological Capital
Authors: Widowati Primahesti Dyah , Satrya Aryana
Published: January 2023

The level of employees’ work engagement can affect an organization's resilience amid business competition. However, banking employees are often faced with rigid working hours that can affect the level of work engagement of employees. This study aims to determine the role of emotional intelligence and ethical leadership in the work engagement of banking employees. Furthermore, this study also investigates the mediating role of psychological capital because it still requires further research. The sample involved in the study was 206 employees of conventional commercial banks in Indonesia. The structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis results show that emotional intelligence, ethical leadership, and psychological capital can affect work engagement. On the other hand, psychological capital partially mediates the influence of emotional and ethical leadership on work engagement. Therefore, the result of this study can strengthen the job demands-resources theory. To increase work engagement, a deeper understanding of emotional intelligence, ethical leadership, and psychological capital can help the banking sector retain employees, improve employee and organizational performance, and maintain a competitive advantage amid intense competition between banks in Indonesia.
Yield, Fiber Quality, and Textile Outcomes from In-Field Blending of Cotton Seed at Planting

Published: January 2023

Cotton is a highly variable natural material that is routinely blended during textile processing to create a uniform product. Harvesting and ginning can introduce some blending before the mill. Blending earlier in the supply chain could produce a more consistent and predictable product. There has been limited research on the benefits of in-field blending of cotton cultivars, especially from a textile perspective. Experiments were conducted over two seasons to determine the economic and performance impacts of in-field blending. The seed of three cultivars with different quality parameters were blended in combinations of two cultivars at 25% increments before planting. Crop maturity, lint yield, fiber quality, and textile processing were evaluated for both years. Some combinations resulted in differences in micronaire, fineness (linear density), and fiber length, which mostly followed the blend rates of the constituent cultivars. Although there were some statistical differences, no functional differences were observed for yield, textile processing, or textile quality. The most significant result was the movement of one set of blends from the base range of micronaire to the premium range. The results showed that infield blending of cultivars could be done without harming quality or resultant textiles, as long as the cultivars are carefully selected for similar seed characteristics and maturation timing. Individual producers will have to determine if the benefits and risks are worthwhile for their specific situation.
Peak Shape and Closely Spaced Peak Convolution in Raman Spectra
Authors: Tuschel David
Published: January 2023

Peak-fitting software is frequently written to offer the user a choice of automated peak fitting or one that allows the user to enter specific values of peak shape, amplitude, and width. The shapes are most often presented as a choice of percent Gaussian or Lorentzian profile contributions to the peak. To better understand these spectral profiles, we briefly explain the physical basis of the so-called spectral line shapes. Furthermore, we discuss and model the spectral shape, bandwidth, and broadening to help the reader see how the percentage of Gaussian and Lorentzian components contribute to overall peak shape and how two closely spaced and unresolved peaks of different amplitudes or bandwidths can affect the maximum position and overall appearance of the convolved peak.

A Review of the Late Professor Kim Dong-wook’s Commercial Wood-block Printed Book Study
Authors:   The Modern Bibiography Review Society, Lee Yoon-suk
Published: January 2023

It is no exaggeration to say that research on Korea’s printing culture is focused on the world’s first metal movable type. The importance of the birth of movable type is because it enabled books to be distributed cheaply and easily. The chance to spread books to the general public, not the upper class in the Joseon Dynasty, can be said to be the emergence of Banggakbon (Wood-block Printed Book). Since Professor Kim Dong-wook took the lead, the study of Banggakbon script in Korea has been conducted mainly by researchers of old novels. After Prof. Kim Dong-wook, the study of Hangeul Banggakbon has achieved some results, but the entire list of Chinese Banggakbons has not yet been made. Prof. Kim started to deal with the Banggakbon script for the study of Chunhyang-jeon, but after that, he expanded the scope to all old novels and Chinese character Banggakbons. Considering his research on Banggakbon, it is impossible to erase the impression that the current research on Banggakbons in Korea is confined to Prof. Kim Dong-wook’s work. Although the number of studies on Banggakbons has increased, it seems that there needs to be a higher level of research on Banggakbon.
