The Causal Relationship Model of Factors Affecting Brand Equity in Thai Bank Sector
Authors: Vajrapatkul Adirek , Rojniruttikul Nuttawut
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This study investigates the effects of self-service technology and service qualities on the brand equity of retail bank customers living in six Bangkok districts, Thailand.
 
Theoretical framework: Recent research on the effects of self-service technology and onsite service quality on brand equity, particularly in the banking industry, has been limited. Even though research has been conducted on the effects of these technologies and service qualities, the majority of prior research has focused on the effects of these precedents on dependent variables, such as customer satisfaction (Raheman, 2017) and customer loyalty (Miguel-Dávila et al., 2010), which are indirectly related to brand equity. Moreover, it is frequently studied outside the banking industry (ArulPrasad, 2021). The results of these previous studies frequently corroborate the positive effects of self-service technology and onsite service quality on such dependent variables, suggesting that these precedents may have an effect on brand equity in the banking sector.
 
Design/Methodology/Approach: We analyzed the 450 valid questionnaires collected from retail bank customers living in six Bangkok districts using EFA and SEM.
 
Findings:  Improving the quality of self-service technology and on-site service can increase brand equity.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: Top bank managers need to focus on investing in service technology and training bank officers on customer service skills. Qualitative research should be conducted to better understand the relationships between self-service technology quality, on-site service quality, and brand equity. Moreover, the model should be extended to consider factors that act as moderators or mediators. 
 
Originality/Value:  Investing in self-service technologies and bank officers' service capabilities can enhance the brand equity of the banking sector.

From a Private Archive to a Public Museum
Authors: Gržina Ivana
Published: July 2023

This paper describes a curator’s personal experience in a museum of art with several “auxiliary” archives of museum collections, in which various photographic objects are the most numerous. The paper underlines the issue of experts’ unpreparedness within museum institutions for managing and preserving photographic material, which is especially challenging when it exists in a heterogenous documentation cluster that has been reassembled multiple times. In an effort to preserve the conceptual integrity of the new/old archive, which will as much as possible mirror all earlier uses, interventions, manipulations, etc. of the material, as a sign of its pre- and post-acquisition biography (Edwards, Morton), and equally the history of the museum, it has been resorted to a top-to-bottom archival description that will reach the level of each individual item. In this way, the archival imperative of acknowledging the provenance and original order is not being betrayed, while at the same time we are ensuring the visibility of each individual photograph, which is described both as a document and as an artifact. Taking into consideration the fact that this kind of approach is not universally applicable, all of its recognized benefits and inherent limitations are presented. Finally, the paper briefly discusses the challenges of applying the same approach to a digital context.
Relationship in Principle between Corporate Governance, Intellectual Capital Disclosure and Firm Performance
Authors: Mainoma Hauwa’u Muhammad , Nasir Aliyu Muhammad
Published: July 2023

This conceptual paper's goal is to discuss the relationship between business performance, intellectual capital disclosure, and corporate governance. This work proposes hypotheses about the relationship between corporate governance, intellectual capital disclosure, and business performance with the use of signaling theory. Their relationship's structure should inform all stakeholders about how corporate governance affects business performance. This demonstrates how well the governance is performing its duties to increase intellectual capital disclosure, which calls for essential adjustments to corporate procedures. It reveals the connection between the board nominating committee, the disclosure of intellectual capital, and corporate performance.
The reconciliation and validation of a combined interatomic potential for the description of Xe in γU-Mo
Authors: Beeler Benjamin , Zhang Yongfeng
Published: July 2023

A U-Mo alloy has been selected as the fuel design for the conversion of high-performance research reactors in the United States. Efforts are ongoing to describe the fuel evolution as a function of time, for a variety of different reactor conditions. The accurate prediction of fuel evolution under irradiation requires the implementation of correct thermodynamic properties into mesoscale and continuum-level fuel performance modeling codes. Molecular dynamics has proven to be a valuable tool to parameterize or inform these higher-length scale models. However, there are currently inaccuracies in the only available U-Mo-Xe potential, which limits the predictive capabilities of molecular dynamics to inform critical phenomena in these fuel systems such as fission gas swelling. This work provides an updated U-Mo-Xe ternary interatomic potential which combines existing potentials in a reconciled format. The validation of the interatomic potential is performed by analyzing the phase stability and vacancy formation energies. Subsequently, Xe solution energies and an equation of state to describe Xe bubbles in U-Mo are calculated, providing 1) evidence of the significant differences between the prior ternary potential and the currently presented potential, and 2) updated data/tools for implementation into mesoscale simulation methodologies to study fission gas bubble evolution.
Setting the optimal positive end-expiratory pressure: a narrative review
Authors: Zersen Kristin M.
Published: July 2023

The primary goals of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) are to restore functional residual capacity through recruitment and prevention of alveolar collapse. Through these mechanisms, PEEP improves arterial oxygenation and may reduce the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Because of the many potential negative effects associated with the use of PEEP, much research has concentrated on determining the optimal PEEP setting. Arterial oxygenation targets and pressure-volume loops have been utilized to set the optimal PEEP for decades. Several other techniques have been suggested, including the use of PEEP tables, compliance, driving pressure (DP), stress index (SI), transpulmonary pressures, imaging, and electrical impedance tomography. Each of these techniques has its own benefits and limitations and there is currently not one technique that is recommended above all others.

Tratamento de esgoto sanitário na área do igarapé Mauixi – Município de São Gabriel da Cachoeira-AM
Authors: Barros Marcos André Fernandes , Maciel Jussara Socorro Cury
Published: July 2023

O tratamento do esgoto sanitário é fundamental para garantir a saúde e qualidade de vida da população. Quando o esgoto não é tratado, temos a contaminação de rios, córregos e águas subterrâneas, prejudicando a fauna e a flora locais, colocando em risco a saúde das pessoas que consomem essa água. Este serviço básico, garantido pela Constituição Federal, é uma realidade distante nas pequenas cidades do Brasil. Na cidade de São Gabriel da Cachoeira, noroeste do Estado do Amazonas, devido à escassez de recursos para uma infraestrutura adequada, os dejetos e efluentes do esgoto sanitário produzido pelos moradores às margens do igarapé Mauixi, são lançados diretamente no copo d´água sem o tratamento adequado. Após diálogos com a Secretaria de Meio Ambiente do Município e buscando alternativas para atenuar o problema, este estudo visa através de pesquisa bibliográfica em artigos acadêmicos e relatórios técnicos, identificar alternativas que venham a possibilitar esse tratamento.

Published: July 2023

Os insetos xilófagos são a razão de dano em muitas plantações comerciais em que o lenho é tido como foco para faturamento, e os insetos da ordem Coleoptera são um dos mais visados se tratando de prejuízos causados à madeira. Por esse motivo, objetivou-se com esta pesquisa realizar a análise faunística dos besouros broqueadores de madeira em uma floresta nativa, como também avaliar a  eficiência de três tipos de armadilha etanólicas adaptadas na captura das famílias Curculionidae (Scolytinae), Bostrichidae e Cerambycidae. O estudo foi realizado em um fragmento de Floresta Estacional Semidecidual Montana, localizada na Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia (UESB), no campus de Vitória da Conquista na Bahia. Foram utilizadas 15  armadilhas etanólicas adaptadas, dos tipos Roechiling, Carvalho-47 e Semifunil, instaladas a  1,30m do solo. As coletas foram realizadas quinzenalmente entre os meses de maio e outubro de 2019. Após a coleta os insetos foram encaminhados para o Laboratório de Ecologia e Proteção Florestal da UESB para triagem e identificação em nível de família. Os índices faunísticos analisados foram Frequência, Riqueza, Constância, Dominância e Índice de Diversidade de Shannon. As armadilhas possibilitaram a coleta de 2952 besouros broqueadores distribuídos em três famílias, sendo estas Curculionidae (somente Scolytinae), Bostrichidae e Cerambycidae. A armadilha Roechling coletou a maior quantidade de insetos (50,4%) quando comparada com a Carvalho-47 (23,6%) e a Semifunil (25,98%). Foi possível observar que os Scolytinae, apresentaram maior frequência relativa nas três armadilhas (Roechling – 85,35%; Carvalho-47 – 77,04%; Semifunil – 76,53%), seguido dos Bostrichidae (Semifunil – 22,43%; Carvalho-47 – 20,37%; Roechling – 14,18%;) e dos Cerambycidae (Carvalho-47 – 2,58%; Semifunil – 1,04%; Roechling – 0,47%;). Os escolitíneos foram os únicos que apresentaram dominância e, em relação à constância, os cerambicídeos foram os únicos não constantes em duas armadilhas, sendo acessórios (Y) na Roechling e acidentais (Z) na Semifunil. O índice de Shannon foi maior na Semifunil (H’: 0,62), seguido da Carvalho-47 (H’: 0,59) e Roechling (H’: 0,44). Concluiu-se que todas as armadilhas  capturam, na área estudada, as famílias de interesse. No entanto, merece destaque a Roechiling pela maior abundância de insetos capturados, mostrando-se portanto a mais eficiente quando comparada com as demais, podendo portanto ser utilizada no monitoramento e no controle principalmente dos Scolytinae.

Published: July 2023

En los trópicos, los árboles forrajeros con alto valor nutricional, representan un potencial como recurso alimenticio para aumentar la producción animal; sin embargo, se reconoce que existen algunos compuestos antinutricionales como los taninos, que pueden ser ingeridos por los animales y están presentes en este tipo de especies arbustivas demeritando el valor nutricional de estas fuentes alternas de alimentación. Se ha demostrado que el uso de especies arbóreas forrajeras, que contienen niveles adecuados de taninos en la dieta protegen parte del nitrógeno de la degradación ruminal y favorecen su utilización, previenen el timpanismo, ayudan a controlar ciertos parásitos internos de los animales y tienen el potencial de reducir las emisiones de CH4 por rumiantes. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar la concentración de fenoles totales y taninos condensados en nuevas especies arbóreas forrajeras de la Región de Tierra Caliente, Michoacán. Se aplicaron 15 encuestas a productores de los municipios de Carácuaro, Huetamo y San Lucas para identificar las especies arbóreas con potencial forrajero. Los productores refirieron un total de 73 nuevas especies arbóreas forrajeras, de 67 de ellas se obtuvo una muestra botánica para análisis. Se encontró que el 32.83% (22/67) presentaron valores menores al 2% de taninos condensados, 7.46% presentaron niveles de taninos de 2 a 4%; lo que sugiere que estas especies pueden ser incorporadas como fuente importante de alimento para el ganado. Sin embargo, la mayoría de las especies evaluadas 59.7% (40/67) presentan niveles de taninos que varían de 5% hasta el 72%. Al pastorear, los herbívoros tienen la capacidad de seleccionar determinadas áreas de vegetación, especies y determinadas partes de las plantas para cubrir sus requerimientos alimentarios y balancear la cantidad y calidad de la biomasa que consumen. Se discuten los efectos positivos y negativos de los taninos sobre la productividad y la salud animal.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the out-of-season reproductive performance and lamb birth weight of Kangal ewes orally administered a bolus of vitamin and mineral premix or mineral premix given as injection with at 40-45 days postpartum during the anestrous period. In total, 78 primiparous Kangal ewes with were randomly allocated to three experimental groups. Estrus induction protocol was performed and a ram was introduced to the ewes at the 80th days postpartum. Ewes in the group 1 a dose of 2 mL of injectable mineral solution at 40-45 days before oestrous synchronisation, was administered at once (n = 25). As for group 2, at 40-45 days before oestrous synchronisation, a mineral bolus was given orally once (n = 27). To the ewes in the group 3 a dose of 2 mL of physiological saline was given once to the animals (n = 26) simultaneously with group 1 and group 2. Reproductive parameters such as estrus and pregnancy rates; single, twin, triplet, and multiple pregnancy rates; litter size; embryonic mortality; fecundity; and dystocia rates were evaluated. In addition, the placentas were weighed to evaluate the effect of mineral supplements on placentation. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of parameters above (p>0.05). However, the rate of dystocia was significantly lower in group 2 compared to Groups 1 and 3 (p<0.05). In conclusion, as a result, it was determined that slow-releasing boluses could not produce efficacy during the throughout pregnancy.

Love is a trait that is common to both the genders. It may happen anytime, anywhere and with anyone. Love is merely a puppet in the hands of time, place, and situation. Perhaps it is the only emotion which does not take any other thing into consideration. The commonest form of love is the one which one develops for the opposite sex. For a man or woman his/her lover is anything and everything.
Alkali Sulfates with Aphthitalite-Like Structures from Fumaroles of the Tolbachik Volcano, Kamchatka, Russia. IV. Aphthitalite–Palmierite Regular Intergrowths: Crystallography, Chemistry, and Genesis

Published: July 2023

The first discovery of regular intergrowths of aphthitalite K3Na(SO4)2 and palmierite K2Pb(SO4)2 are reported. Crystals of aphthitalite, intergrown with lamellae of palmierite (up to 15 μm thick), along with grains of arcanite, occur in encrustations recovered from the active Arsenatnaya fumarole (Tolbachik volcano, Kamchatka, Russia). These were studied using a combination of scanning electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and electron backscatter diffraction techniques. Three types of grain boundaries involving intergrowths of aphthitalite and palmierite were observed: (1) those with a misorientation angle of 60° relative to [001] (twinning), (2) those parallel to the (001) plane, and (3) those with a misorientation angle of 60° relative to [001]. The twinned aphthitalite domains are related by a two-fold rotation about [001] (Dauphiné twin law). The heating of aphthitalite crystals containing palmierite lamellae at 400, 600, and 750 °C shows a nearly complete redistribution and gradual dissolution of palmierite in the aphthitalite matrix. The character of solid-state transformations in the K2SO4–Na2SO4–PbSO4 system during cooling is controlled by the structural similarity of aphthitalite-type sulfates and palmierite, which contain topologically identical 2[M(SO4)2] (M = Na, Pb) layers.

Published: July 2023

Since 2019, humanity has been relentlessly fi ghting the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Respiratory distress syndrome is the main clinical manifestation of COVID-19, which often results in full recovery but can also end fatally. Of interest to modern medicine is a small group of patients in whom the disease persists for months, known as “Long COVID.” This condition predisposes to the development of a rare but life-threatening syndrome, manifested and defi ned as one of the most serious complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection – multisystem Infl ammatory Syndrome in Adults (MIS-A). This syndrome was fi rst described in children and called MIS-C (Multisystem Infl ammatory Syndrome in Children). The affected population consists of patients ≥ 21 years old, regardless of gender. Despite numerous studies, clinical-laboratory and demographic analyses, there are still disagreements regarding the frequency of occurrence, pathogenesis, and diagnostic-therapeutic algorithm for these patients. The purpose of this article is to systematize the congested experience and knowledge, as well as to demonstrate their application in clinical practice.
L’empire des exilés
Authors: Glesener Thomas
Published: July 2023

En 1713, après deux siècles de domination en Italie et aux Pays-Bas, le traité d’Utrecht sanctionne le démembrement de la monarchie hispanique et son repli dans la péninsule Ibérique. Alors que l’Espagne semble désormais tourner le dos à l’Europe, des milliers de Flamands et d’Italiens empruntent pourtant le chemin de l’exil pour rester sous la sujétion du Roi Catholique. Contre toute attente, ces exilés ont été constitués en une puissante élite politique et militaire qui a pesé durablement dans le gouvernement de la monarchie.

Partant du cas des Flamands, cet ouvrage interroge les circonstances de la désagrégation impériale et ses conséquences sur la société espagnole. Loin des clichés du repli péninsulaire, en décryptant à hauteur d’homme les horizons politiques de ce collectif d’exilés, il propose une lecture de la façon dont les Bourbon ont reconfiguré l’héritage impérial de l’Espagne en Europe.

Psychological problems caused by China's overly conservative attitudes towards homosexuality
Authors: Wu Hongfei
Published: July 2023

With the increase in research on homosexuality, more and more countries and regions are beginning to recognise and accept lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) minorities and to care about their legal rights and physical and mental health. As there is less research on homosexuality in China, this paper sets the scope of the study to China, targeting the heart and health problems caused by the overly conservative attitude towards homosexuality in China. To a certain extent, it enriches the research on homosexual mental health in China, and also gives some suggestions to solve homosexual mental illness. Using case studies, literature research and data analysis, the paper concludes that understanding the risks of the disease and reducing social oppression are important factors in improving the mental health of homosexuals and that university education can help to eliminate prejudice and discrimination against homosexuals, thereby protecting the mental health of homosexuals.

The meaning and values of life during the transition stage of youth from studies to work
Authors: Popovici Adriana
Published: July 2023

Currently, the transition period from studies to work presents an essential and complex stage in the personal and professional evolution of young people, often characterized by challenges and uncertainties that affect their adaptability and long-term success. This process signifies the transition from the academic to the professional environment, involving experimentation and re-evaluation of meaning and values in life. The theoretical bases of the formation of orientations in life related to the meaning of existence as an important condition of life activity, are grounded in the works of philosophers, such as G. Hegel, I. Kant, E. Fromm, psychologists К. A. Abulkhanova-Slavskaya, B.S. Bratusy, A.Н. Leontiev, D.A. Leontiev, V.V. Stolin, V.E. Chudnovsky, the author of logotherapy V. Frankl. These scientific sources provide valuable information about the time period in which individuals navigate the complex process of identity formation, search for meaning, and adaptation of values. The purpose of this article is to investigate, both theoretically and practically, the meaning and value of life in this period of transition to adulthood from a psychological perspective. Emphasizing identity development, the search for meaning, and the adaptation of values. The importance of this subject lies in identifying the factors that contribute to the development of social maturity, in order to be able to develop effective strategies to support young people in this stage of life. In this context, the specialized literature emphasizes the fact that the meaning of life and values have a significant impact on the behavior and attitudes of young people, as well as on their career expectations.
The role of media sources in the formation of opinions regarding the anti-COVID-19 vaccination
Authors: Rusnac Svetlana , Cordoneanu Elena
Published: July 2023

The purpose of the research presented in this article was to measure the influence of information from the mass media on the decisions to vaccinate against COVID-19 of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova. The basic hypothesis assumed that the citizens of the Republic of Moldova who administered the anti-COVID-19 vaccine obtained information from official sources (TV, radio, online media channels, official information advertising, official information carriers, etc.). Citizens who did not get vaccinated against COVID-19, were influenced by speculative information, unofficially disseminated through social networks, fake news, did not contact officially argued sources and evidence, etc. The research group was made up of 100 people, taking into account age, sex, place of residence, level of education, marital and occupational status. In order to collect the experimental data, the survey method was used, applied through Google Forms. The research estimated the predictors of the willingness of citizens of the Republic of Moldova to get vaccinated against COVID-19: 1) trust in the official media, in government and medical institutions involved in the management of the pandemic crisis; 2) concern about the real danger caused by the SARS-Cov-2 virus; 3) the ability of medical institutions as bearers of official messages to debunk misinformation from the electronic media, especially from social networks. Age, gender, and area of residence are also significant predictors of availability for anti-COVID-19 vaccination: adults, men, and urban residents are more likely to receive the vaccine.

This concern is materialized via the publication of environmental information (environmental disclosure) usually in stand alone reports (CSR reports) or other reporting media. The goal of this study is to find out the explanatory factors for the dissemination of environmental information in a country which is yet to have a consistent accounting regulatory framework regarding environmental reporting. In order to achieve this objective, a quantitative research strategy was conducted with the aim of finding out the internal and external factors explaining the practice of environmental disclosure by industrial enterprises. The data for this quantitative study which was analysed with the help of the logistic regression was obtained through questionnaires administered to 50 respondents (top management) from a sample size of 50 industrial enterprises. The logistic regression suggests that profitability, industry type, pressure from primary stakeholders (government) and pressure from secondary stakeholders (the media) appeared to be the main determinants susceptible of explaining the practice of environmental disclosure by industrial enterprises in Cameroon, not forgetting dispersed ownership, leverage and firm’s size which also revealed to be explanatory factors of environmental disclosure even though it degree of predictability is moderate as suggested by the logistic analysis.

Neue Infrastrukturen für die Messung digitaler Mediennutzung
Authors: Mangold Frank , Wieland Mareike , Stier Sebastian , Otto Lukas
Published: July 2023

Infolge der voranschreitenden Digitalisierung von Medienlandschaften sieht sich die Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft bei der Messung von Mediennutzung mit nie gekannten Herausforderungen konfrontiert. Vor diesem Hintergrund nimmt sich der vorliegende Beitrag der Frage an, inwieweit zwei neue von GESIS betriebene Forschungssoftwares nachhaltig zur Verbesserung der Mediennutzung im digitalen Zeitalter beitragen können: WebTrack (für die Aufzeichnung browserbasierter Onlinekommunikation und deren weitergehende Verknüpfung mit Längsschnitt-Befragungsdaten) und ein AppKit (für Erhebungen von Befragungs- und/oder digitalen Verhaltensdaten auf Basis von Smartphones). Beide Forschungssoftwares eröffnen sowohl für sich genommen als auch im Verbund neue Datenerhebungspotenziale, indem sie Mediennutzung im Internet plattformübergreifend erfassen und deren individuelle Dynamiken besser abbilden können als vorherrschende (Befragungs‑)Designs. Zugleich kann keine Forschungssoftware die Vielschichtigkeit von Onlinemediennutzung vollständig erfassen. Zudem handelt es sich bei der nachhaltigen Entwicklung und Bereitstellung von Forschungssoftware um eine komplexe und ressourcenintensive Daueraufgabe. Wir diskutieren die technischen und organisationalen Begleitmaßnahmen bei GESIS mit Blick auf Zuverlässigkeit, Zugänglichkeit und Langlebigkeit. Die Forschungssoftwares und die resultierenden Datenerhebungspotenziale sollen nachhaltig einem breiteren Kreis von Fachkolleg*innen zugänglich gemacht werden. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass der Betrieb verschiedener Forschungssoftwares im Rahmen einer integrierten Datenerhebungsinfrastruktur zugleich Synergien eröffnet und angepasste Maßnahmen erfordert, um der Diversität von Forschungssoftwares Rechnung tragen zu können.
Achieving risk resilience in an environment of mistrust: supply chain piracy of physical goods
Authors: Freitas Kenyth Alves de , Flynn Barbara Bechler , Paiva Ely Laureano , Awaysheh Amrou
Published: July 2023

Purpose

This paper investigates how companies become resilient to supply chain (SC) piracy through using transactional and relational governance mechanisms to develop strategies effective in environments characterized by weak regulative institutions and mistrust.

Design/methodology/approach

This study developed case studies of nine large manufacturers with operations in Brazil.

Findings

The companies employed transactional and relational governance mechanisms to learn from past incidents, anticipate, and respond to the threat of SC piracy, becoming more resilient over time. Transactional governance mechanisms reduced risk triggers through technology, while relational governance mechanisms enhanced trust between SC and non-SC members, allowing the members to build social capital.

Practical implications

The authors provide practical guidance for managers and policymakers in developing risk management strategies based on technology and collaboration to reduce SC piracy in environments characterized by mistrust.

Social implications

SC piracy is a serious problem for global operations and SCs in many low-cost manufacturing locations. Besides the cost and service level consequences, the authors also highlight worker safety consequences, including the potential for kidnapping, psychological trauma, injuries, and death.

Originality/value

This study focuses on the little-researched topic of SC piracy. The authors examine the negative effects of a weak institutional environment, while most prior research focuses on the positive effects of a strong institutional environment. The authors position transactional and relational governance mechanisms as essential elements of SC risk resilience.
