Authors: Thu Bui Thi Minh , Thu Nguyen Thi Bich
Published: September 2023

International competition has increased the importance of quality in the corporate world. The business world is more competitive than ever, with problems and pressure growing daily. Firms face challenges in maintaining and improving Organizational Performance (OP) as they strive to maintain competitive advantage. This difficulty could be convened using complete quality management principles (TQM). Numerous organizations have successfully implemented Total Quality Management using Information Systems (IS) (TQM). Many businesses have provided higher-quality goods and services because of information technology. Combining IS, and TQM is vital in increasing a company’s organizational performance. This study investigated the relationship between total quality management activities and information systems to improve organizational performance. Using 340 sample data from firms in Vietnam, the research model was constructed and evaluated to fit the Structural Equation Model analysis. The survey was carried out between March 1 and April 30, 2021. That is confirmed by the research, establishing future directions and consequences for theorists and practitioners. Quality management, information system, and organizational performance are key terms.

Authors: Xuan Le Thi Thanh , Trung Pham Do Quang
Published: September 2023

Streaming services (music, movies) via the Internet has changed the entertainment habits of Vietnamese significantly and has a huge potential to develop. The penetration rate of video streaming services was 5.2% and it has been rising to reach roughly 7.4% by 2025. The competition in this service is also increasing with the participation of many domestic and international competitors, such as iFlix, Apple TV, FPT Play, and Zing TV. The purpose of this study is to explore the values of users when subscribing to one streaming service. The research context employs Netflix service provider to collect data with the following objectives: (1) to identify attributes of Netflix from the perceptions of users; (2) to identify the links between these attributes and personal values of users through consequences; and (3) to propose managerial implications for streaming service providers to attract more subscribers. The paper employs soft-laddering interviews to collect data from 24 respondents and is based on means-end chain theory. The research findings have explored 17 Attributes (A), 29 Consequences (C), and 08 Values (V). The extended association pattern technique APT is used to analyze data and Hierarchical Value Map (HVM) is constructed to show all A-C-V linkages. Finally, managerial implications are proposed to service providers to improve their services.
Customer mistreatment and employees’ extra-role performance: A goal failure perspective
Authors: Tam Do Uyen
Published: September 2023

Although customer mistreatment has harmful consequences for employees and the organization, the boundary conditions of customer mistreatment have been largely neglected. This study conceptualizes Customer Mistreatment (CM) as a signaling failure regarding employees’ pursuit of tasks and social goals at work and aims to examine the impact of CM on employees’ extra-role performance through the mediating role of rumination. In addition, the moderating role of Hostile Attribution Bias (HAB) in the link between CM - rumination was also investigated. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used for data analysis, including measurement and structural assessment. Based on the data collected from 200 frontline staff working at Tan Son Nhat international airport, the findings revealed that CM indirectly affects employees’ extra-role performance via rumination. Besides, although HAB did not moderate the thee CM - rumination relationship, it did impact employees’ rumination. Limitations, recommendation for future research, and implications are discussed.

Tindakan Korupsi Yang Merusak Etika Ekonomi Dan Bisnis Masa Kini: Tinjauan Etika Kristen
Authors: Hutapea Rihard , Simangunsong Amran , Missa Antonius
Published: September 2023

The rampant acts of corruption that occur today in government agencies and in the private sector directly or indirectly affect the economy. This corruptive attitude results in large licensing and operating costs that inevitably will be charged to the price of goods or services produced by the business partner. The high price of goods or services becomes uncompetitive when competing with companies that produce the same product. Christian ethics revolves around morality, which concentrates on whether an action is morally good or bad. This implies that Christian ethics, which is a branch of religious ethics, ensures that human actions are in line with acceptable moral standards, thus contributing a lot to human moral development. Christian ethics forbids and opposes this act of corruption. This writing uses a literature methodology by conducting a literature study from the perspective of David Gushee about the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1–48) and supporting it with literature related to the problem of corruption. The result is that corruption is still rampant due to the moral dualism of business people and bureaucratic holders, who in practice separate religious ethics from business activities. Business people and bureaucrats know the correct business ethics that they get from religious teachings that they profess but prefer not to do it because of greed, the nature of wanting to get rich quick.
 
Maraknya tindakan korupsi yang terjadi pada masa kini di instansi pemerintah maupun di sektor swasta, secara langsung atapun tidak langsung berakibat terhadap perekonomian. Sikap koruptif ini mengakibatkan besarnya biaya perijinan dan biaya operasional yang mau tidak mau akan dibebankan kepada harga barang atau jasa yang dihasilkan oleh si partner bisnis tersebut, tingginya harga barang atau jasa tersebut menjadi tidak kompetitif di dalam bersaing dengan perusahaan yang menghasilkan produk yang sama. Etika Kristen berkisar pada moralitas yang berkonsentrasi pada apakah suatu tindakan secara moral baik atau buruk. Ini menyiratkan bahwa etika Kristen yang merupakan cabang dari etika keagamaan memastikan bahwa tindakan manusia sejalan dengan standar moral yang dapat diterima, sehingga banyak berkontribusi dalam perkembangan moral manusia. Etika Kristen melarang dan menentang terhadap tindakan korupsi ini. Penulisan ini menggunakan metodologi literatur dengan melakukan studi literatur dari perspektif David Gushee tentang kotbah dibukit (Matius 5:1-48) serta didukung literatur-literatur yang berhubungan dengan masalah korupsi. Hasilnya Tindakan korupsi masih tetap marak dilakukan diakibatkan adanya dualism moral para pelaku bisnis dan pemegang birokrasi dimana dalam prakteknya mereka memisahkan etika agama dengan kegiatan bisnis, para pelaku bisnis dan pemegang birokarsi mengetahui etika bisnis yang benar yang mereka dapatkan dari ajaran-ajaran agama yg mereka anut tetapi lebih memilih tidak melakukannya karena sifat serakah, tamak, atau sifat ingin cepat kaya.

Published: September 2023

Using the dialectical method the publication was devoted to determining the prospects for improving public control over the observance of the rights of convicts in Ukraine. A clear distinction is indicated between state and non-state control, i.e.: (execution of control functions on observance of rights, exercise of moral and educational influence, educational work, placement of released persons, etc.), and standardization of relevant provisions in the corresponding legislation. It is argued that ensuring openness and transparency of the activities of penitentiary bodies and institutions is not the goal of public control, and the approach to its interpretation should not be equated with such concepts as "aid" and "sponsorship". In the conclusions it is substantiated that in order to reflect in the Ukrainian legislation the principle of openness of penal institutions for the society, it is necessary to overcome: formalism of public control by the observation boards over the implementation of the rights of convicts; to grant the right to exercise public control to other subjects of public control, in particular to the mass media, along with the active borrowing of progressive international practices in the specified field.

Published: September 2023

As a result of international armed conflicts, questions always arise about the payment of post-war reparations. Although the process of reparation for damages caused as a result of war crimes, in most cases, begins only after the end of such a conflict, its duration and effectiveness depend on the preliminary analysis and choice of an existing reparation or development of a new model. The purpose of the work was the analysis of existing mechanisms for the payment of post-war reparations, and the search for the most effective models of compensation for Ukraine by Russia for the damage caused as a result of military aggression and the commission of international crimes. The dialectical, systemic-structural, historical, comparative, logical-formal, comparative-legal and systemic-functional methods were used. In the results, the legal nature and historical mechanisms of reparation of damage are explained, as well as problematic issues of this institution of the law of international liability are outlined. In the conclusions, different mechanisms of reparation that can be used by the State and those available to individuals, victims of violations of international crimes committed on their territory and mixed models are considered.

Published: September 2023

Using the scientific method, the purpose of the article was to study financial control as one of the types of state control over the activity of public railway transport. In the results of the research, the scientific approaches to the concepts of: “control”, “state control” and “financial control” are considered. The place of the latter in the general system of control over the management of state (local) resources and its specific use is studied. In addition, the characteristics and purpose of the regulation of financial control are established. In terms of its practical significance, it is determined that state financial control is carried out by conducting financial audit activities, monitoring financial transactions, identifying violations of the use of funds, etc., activities which are carried out by special state authorities and their authorized representatives. In the conclusions, it is stated that the state financial control over public railway transport should be understood as the system of measures aimed at ensuring the effective use of funds from the state budget and other state financial resources, in order to achieve national, economic and social goals.

Introduction: Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) is a condition characterized by an abnormal craniocervical transition whose main finding is cerebellar tonsillar ectopia of > 5 mm below the foramen magnum. The main clinical manifestations are occipital headache, truncal ataxia, corticospinal tract dysfunctions, and scoliosis.

Objective: The scope of this article is to report a rare case of papilledema and visual impairment in a child diagnosed with CM-I.

Methods/case presentation: Presentation of the case of an 8-year-old child with difficulty in performing school activities due to visual blurring in the 3 days prior to hospitalization. She was taken by her parents to the ophthalmologist who identified bilateral papilledema and was urgently referred to the pediatric emergency unit. She underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and CM-I was identified. She underwent urgent surgical posterior cranial fossa decompression and progressed to complete visual improvement, confirmed by ophthalmological examination.

Conclusion: Papilledema may be the initial clinical manifestation of CM-I in children and urgent surgical decompression of the posterior cranial fossa may prevent or even reverse the visual impairment.

At diagnosis, they most often present with signs of intracranial hypertension and cranial nerve deficits. The main objective of the surgery is total resection and the prognosis is favorable in most cases.Case Report: A 16-year-old boy with gait disturbance, headaches and left side hypoacusia had a diagnosis of posterior fossa tumor with hypertensive hydrocephalus. He underwent urgent placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt and subsequently microsurgery with gross total resection. At follow up, the patient was asymptomatic and without deficits.Conclusion: Choroid plexus tumors should be included in the differential diagnosis of posterior fossa tumors in childhood. Preoperative planning, choosing the best surgical approach and interruption of the lesion's vascular supply as the initial step of surgery are fundamental strategies for successful treatment.
Clinical Presentation, MRI findings and Molecular insights in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPGs): A Comprehensive Review.
Authors: Simao Gustavo Novelino
Published: September 2023

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a highly aggressive and the most common brainstem tumor affecting pediatric patients, with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Despite extensive research, the median overall survival remains low, and current treatment mainly relies on radiotherapy. Recent discoveries of recurrent somatic mutations, particularly in histone 3 variants, have led to a reclassification of pediatric diffuse gliomas. However, the relationship between genetic alterations, imaging features, and prognosis is not yet fully understood. This review provides an overview of DIPG, including its clinical presentation, typical imaging findings (with a focus on MRI techniques), diagnostic challenges, treatment modalities, and recent advancements in molecular understanding. DIPG presents with characteristic neurological symptoms and often manifests as an expansile intra-axial mass in the pons, usually exhibiting typical MRI findings. Diffusion-weighted imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy can provide additional insights. Pathologically, most DIPGs are pediatric type of diffuse high-grade gliomas, with specific histological features and occasional leptomeningeal spread. Radiotherapy remains the mainstay treatment. However, clinical trials with new agents are ongoing, trying to improve outcomes for DIPG patients.

Published: September 2023

The objective of this article is to analyze the problems of the interaction between International Law and the Law of the European Union. In particular, attention is paid to the study of "traditionalist" and "autonomist" approaches to the relationship between International Law and EU Law, the place of EU Law in the international legal order and the international legal aspects of the interaction of EU law and the law of the EU Member States. In the investigation, dialectical, legal-comparative, historical and logical-formal methods were used. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the relationship between EU Law and International Law is difficult to fit into any of the traditional models. On the one hand, EU Law was formed as a component of International Law. On the other hand, although the EU legal order was created on the basis of international treaties, in the process of its development it acquired certain characteristics that are, to a certain extent, characteristic of national legal orders.

Racial Disparities in Plasma Cell Leukemia Outcomes Among Hospitalized Patients in the United States
Authors: Wu Cindy , Dongarwar Deepa , Al Hadidi Samer
Published: September 2023

Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare, aggressive subtype of multiple myeloma (MM) with a poor prognosis. Prior studies have shown that racial disparities affect MM patients in various ways, which may affect patients’ outcomes. In this study, we aimed to investigate racial differences in hospitalization outcomes for PCL using Nationwide Inpatient Sample data. Overall, hospitalization rates for PCL tended to decrease over the past decade. Among hospitalized patients with a primary diagnosis of PCL, there was no statistically significant association between race/ethnicity and hospitalization rates, between NH-White patients and NH-Black patients (OR 1.94; 95%CI 0.3-3.54, p 0.95), and Hispanic patients (OR 0.47; 95% CI 0.05-4.23, p 0.5). Additionally, there was no significant association between race/ethnicity and inpatient mortality. The overall lower incidence of PCL, more significant disease burden, and poor prognosis across all groups may contribute to our findings. With increasing evidence that PCL is cytogenetically distinct from MM, more investigation into biological and sociodemographic factors that affect healthcare utilization and treatment outcomes should be carried out.

Authors: Zhang Yunsheng , Xia Hu , Li Sigang , Liu Jiaqi , Liu Liangguo , Yang Pinhong
Published: September 2023

The early embryonic development of the green crucian carp (Carassius auratus indigentiaus subsp. nov.) was observed to study its timing and characteristics. The fertilized eggs are round, slightly yellow, and viscous demersal. The egg diameter after water swelling was 1.47 ± 0.04 mm. Embryonic development can be divided into eight stages according to its major characteristics: blastoderm formation, mitotic, blastula, gastrula, neurula, blastopore closure, organogenetic and hatching stages. Under a water temperature of 24 ± 1 °C, salinity of 35 ± 1, and pH of 7.4 ± 0.5, the blastoderm began to form 35 min after fertilization. It entered the mitotic stage at 55 min, blastula stage at 220 min, gastrula stage at 460 min, neurula stage at 675 min, blastopore closure stage at 700 min, organogenetic stage at 900 min and hatching stage at 3390 min. The total length of newly hatched larvae was 4.07 ± 0.35 mm. Regression models of growth characteristics were obtained. The full-length growth rate was fastest from 15 to 26 days, with an average of 0.396 mm/day. Compared with other cyprinid fishes, green crucian carp exhibited some distinct characteristics in certain stages of embryonic development. The eye primordium developed before the sarcomere, and the heart rate was relatively high before the member stage. Yolk fluctuation was observed during the multi-cell phase of embryonic development. The sarcomere formed after the eye primordium. The heart rate in the hatching phase was 136 beats/min. This study provides a reference for embryonic development in green crucian carp, which will assist its large-scale cultivation.
Factors Associated with the Persistence of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Benin
Authors:   University of Abomey – Calavi, AFFO Alphonse Mingnimon
Published: September 2023

Female Genital Mutilations (FGM) officially constitute a particular form of Gender-Based Violence associated with certain socio-cultural groups and / or regions. They are generally practiced with the purpose to control women sexuality. In Benin, the political will materialized by restrictive legislation as well as multiple strategies and actions developed to eliminate FGM has not yet been able to curb their trend. On the contrary, they persist through more underground forms that are sometimes deterritorialized. This paper aims to examine factors underlying the persistence of FGM in Benin. The explanatory factors for the persistence of FGM were investigated through the analysis of a secondary data from the survey on the persistence of FGM in the four departments of North Benin conducted in 2020. Thus, Multiple Correspondence Analysis, Regression analysis and content analysis methods were used. Results show that parents who approved the continuation of FGM are mostly uneducated, live in rural areas in poor households, are unaware of the laws that prohibit FGM, praise the benefits of FGM and already have at least one “circumcised” daughter. Moreover, they consider the control actions ineffective. For them, FGM represents a symbol of identity that provides affection, security, protection, solidarity and survival to women. The analyses also show that the department, the ethnicity, household wealth index, the recognition of the advantages of FGM, the non-regret of having been affected by FGM and the ignorance of the laws against FGM perpetuate this phenomenon. From a reproductive justice perspective, it is possible to negotiate with the grassroot population the perpetuation of the symbolic and festive character of this identity rite by substituting any attack on the physical and psychological integrity of women with sexual and reproductive health education.
Petrology, Geochemistry and Geochronology of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex Metamorphic Rocks: Kırşehir (Karıncalı), Central Anatolia, Turkey
Authors: GÜREL Meral , KADIOĞLU Yusuf Kagan
Published: September 2023

The basement of the Karncalı village represented by metamorphic rock units in Central Anatolia Crystalline Complex (CACC). The basement units mainly comprise greenschist facies which is apart of CACC. The basement consists of amphibolite, gneiss, quartzschist, micaschist, amphibolschist quartz micaschist, quartzite, calcschist and marble rock units. All the metamorphic basement intruded by syenite, syenite porphry trachyte and trachyandesite. The nomenclature of garnet, amphibole and plagioclase minerals were determined by confocal Raman spectroscopy. The detailed petrography and Confocal Raman Spectrometer (CRS) examinations reveal that the common mineral assemblages are clino-amphibole + plagioclase + titanite, clinoamphibole + clinozoisite + epidote + plagioclase + titanite, garnet amphibolschist mineral assemblage clinoamphibole + bioamphile + tite ± garnet, actinolite + tremolite + chlorite + quartz, calcite + quartz + muscovite and also sericite + quartz + graphite in composition. The radiomatrica 39Ar/40Ar age data of Muscovite reveal 71.83±0.54 Ma age. It has been determined that the metamorphic age is younger or similar to the age of intrusive of the CACC. The young age of the metamorphic shows that the intrusive masses in the region significantly affect the existing country rock units throughout the geological time, causing them to re-metamorphize and reactivate the time period in terms of metamorphism. It was concluded that felsic and mafic magmatic intrusions of many different compositions and sizes in the Central Anatolian region started from the Late Cretaceous and continued until the Palaeocene and also affected the basic metamorphic rocks of the region.

The survey for empirical analysis was conducted in Seoul in March and April 2023. Of the 200 distributed copies, 180 were adopted as effective samples and used for analysis. As a result of factor analysis, consumption value was extracted into four factors: emotional value, economic value, quality value, and recursive value. Attitude and purchase intention were each extracted as one factor. As a result of the hypothesis test, it was found that the recursive factor among consumption values had a positive significant influence on attitudes, and Hypothesis 1 was partially supported. Hypothesis 2 was partially supported as emotional and economic factors among consumption values were found to have a positive significant influence on purchase intention. Hypothesis 3 was supported as consumers' attitudes toward convenience store bakeries were found to have a positive and significant influence on purchase intention.

This paper investigates the effects of cremation on African traditional celebrations of the living dead in Kenya. The study examines bereavement and mourning practices in communities, with a particular focus on traditional modes of mourning, grieving, and remembering the living dead. According to the study, African traditions, the spread of Christianity, the influence of the Hindu culture, and Islamic beliefs all conflict with the changing culture that is slowly embracing cremation. The methodology for this study involved secondary data. The conclusion drawn from the study is that even as the scarcity of land pushes societies to consider the option of cremation, cultural and religious perceptions have painted the practice unethical and term it “un-African.” In Kenya, the majority of the population still opts to bury their dead in their ancestral homes in order to perform ritual and religious burial rites.

Motor Neurological Soft Signs (MNSS) has been increasingly studied in people with schizophrenia spectrum, contributing to the knowledge of psychomotor disorders.  However, there is still scarce the availability of valid and reliable instruments for this assessment worldwide, and in Portugal there is none. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the factor structure model of the Portuguese version of the Brief Motor Scale. Method: The confirmatory factor analysis was conducted in a sample of 103 participants with schizophrenia, 82 males and 21 females, mean age 44.21 (+11.25). A one-factor model was compared with three two-factor models based on the literature and a previous exploratory factor analysis. Results: The results of this study showed good fit indices and provide evidence to support a two-factor model for the assessment of motor neurological soft signs in persons with schizophrenia. Conclusions: It was proposed a new construct for MNSS assessment consists of 2 domains and 9 items distributed among them.
