Authors: Abdullin Khalim Minnullovich
Published: October 2024

One of the topical issues of historical science in the Russian Federation is the analysis and popularization of historical information about the participation of the peoples of the country in military campaigns to protect the Fatherland from foreign intervention. The purpose of the study is to tell about the service of Tatars, both officers and lower ranks, in the regular army during the Patriotic War of 1812 and the foreign campaigns of 1813–1814. Actualization of interest to the military history of the Tatar people during the period of the Russian Empire as a whole, with the search and bringing into the public space the names of heroes and participants of military campaigns, is also one of the tasks of this study. The leading method in studying this problem was an integrated approach based on the study of different types of sources. Research materials: the work involves special historical research (monographs and scientific articles), published and unpublished historical sources of the first quarter of the 19th century, reference publications. Results and scientific novelty of the work: the facts of the service of the Tatar people in the regular army during the Patriotic War of 1812 and the foreign campaigns of 1813–1814 have been established, the personalities of Tatar officers, both from among the nobility and from the lower ranks, as well as soldiers and sailors from the Tatars who served in the regular army have been identified. Biographies of veterans of the Patriotic War of 1812 and the foreign campaigns of 1813–1814 from the Tatars are given.

“Admiring the olden time” in the era of the “great turning point”: N.I. Vorobyev and teaching ethnography at Kazan institutes of higher education (1920s – early 1930s)
Authors:   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Bushueva Lyudmila A.
Published: October 2024

The paper examines the teaching activities of the famous ethnographer, geographer, researcher of the ethnography of the Tatars and other peoples of the Volga region, Nikolay Iosifovich Vorobyev, at Kazan University and the Eastern Pedagogical Institute in the 1920s – early 1930s. His role in organising special departments of these universities, where ethnography and related disciplines (anthropology, anthropogeography, ethnology, etc.) were taught, is shown. The views on ethnographic education of the Kazan teaching community, students and authorities at various levels are described. The paper shows that in the first years of the Soviet rule, ethnography was taught in large quantities at several Kazan institutes of higher education – Kazan University, North-Eastern Archaeological and Ethnographic Institute, and Eastern Pedagogical Institute. The main initiators of including ethnographic disciplines in the curriculum of institutes were employees of Kazan University, including N.I. Vorobyev. However, officials of the RSFSR People’s Commissariat for Education considered ethnography as a discipline that studies ‘backward peoples’ and ‘relicts’, and did not see it as a means of ideological education of students. Therefore, the number of hours assigned to this subject was reduced quite quickly. N.I. Vorobyev and his colleagues proposed a number of educational departments projects (geographical and museum-ethnographic sections of the Eastern Pedagogical Institute) in order to preserve ethnographic education in Kazan. As a result of their efforts, students of the Physics and Mathematics Department of Kazan University and the Eastern Department of the Eastern Pedagogical Institute studied ethnography and related subjects until its ‘defeat’ on the cusp of the 1920s and 1930s.

The article presents with archival materials in which the celebrations of the twentieth anniversary of the Tatar literature classic, publicist, public figure Galimjan Ibragimov, held in 1928, are documented. The funds of the State Archive of the Republic of Tatarstan (Kazan) and the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow) have a protocol and a transcript from the celebrations dedicated to this anniversary. The protocol is printed in Tatar, the transcript is presented in Russian. Due to a serious lung disease, the writer was residing in Yalta for treatment at the time. The preparation and holding of events was organised at the highest level, the anniversary date was celebrated even outside the Tatar Republic. Although G. Ibragimov was not able to attend the event personally, the anniversary was held on a large scale and was broadcast on the radio. A concert was organised and a play based on the writer’s drama New People was staged. At the end of the event, a telegram with anniversary greetings to the hero of the day was read and later sent to Yalta. Later, G. Ibragimov sent a reply telegram with words of gratitude to the editorial offices of the newspapers “Kyzyl Tatarstan” and “Eshche”. Among those invited and speaking were prominent literary and public figures and orientalists (I. Rakhmatullin, G. Nigmati, G. Linstser), birthday greetings from various addressees from Russian cities and abroad were read out. The transcript is very voluminous. As can be seen from the content, prominent figures took part in the meeting, such as N. Tyuryakulov, I. Borozdin, A.N. Maksudov, B.Kh. Mansurov, A.M. Arsharuni. The speakers’ speeches trace the significant role of G. Ibragimov in the public life of the Tatar people, as a literary scholar, researcher and public figure. The article provides quotes from archival documents in the original language and facts concerning the writer’s creative anniversary from the periodical press of the first half of the 20th century.

Aim: To evaluate the synergistic effects of legume intercropping and zinc fortification on forage yield, and plant and soil nutrient dynamics. Methodology: The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design. Treatment combinations included five cropping systems, i.e., sole maize, sole cowpea, sole soybean, maize + cowpea (2:1), maize + soybean (2:1) and three zinc levels; Zn0= control or no zinc application, Zn1 = 20 kg ZnSO4 ha-1 (basal soil application) and Zn2 = 20 kg ZnSO4 ha-1 (basal soil application) + 0.5% ZnSO4 sprayed twice (30 DAS and 50 DAS). Results: Sole maize recorded highest dry matter (11938 kg ha-1) yield. Soil + foliar zinc application (Zn2) recorded an increase of 37.93 % increase in dry matter yield over control (Zn0). Maize + legumes recorded higher nitrogen uptake. There was an overall increase (122.34%) in zinc uptake from Zn0 to Zn2. Soil + foliar applied Zn increased ZnUE by 27.60 % (619.14 kg) over soil applied Zn (485.19 kg). Zn application increased Zn values of soil to 0.50 ppm with soil application and 0.56 ppm with soil + foliar application from the initial value of 0.36 ppm. Interpretation: Intercropping of legumes and application of 20 kg ZnSO4 as basal soil application plus two foliar applications of 0.5% ZnSO4 at 30 and 50 days after sowing significantly increased forage yield, nutrient uptake and enhanced soil zinc levels.

Aim: This preliminary study aimed to investigate the movement patterns of Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) larvae in the rosette flowers. Methodology: Field experiments conducted on the migration behavior of pink bollworm larvae with respect to rosette flowers in cotton fields. Observations included monitoring infested flowers, larval stage duration within rosette flowers, and larval movement to soil for pupation, larval mortality post-drop, and larval migration to early bolls, all conducted without insecticide application to reflect natural conditions. Results: The movement of the larvae was tracked and recorded from the start of flowering to the boll formation stage. Nearly, 44.88% of the larvae present on the infested flowers had moved to the soil for pupation, while 14.29% had moved to newly formed bolls on the same rosette flower. Additionally, 30.90% of the larvae had moved to dry leaf debris on the soil, and the remaining 9.93% either escaped or died due to environmental factors such as damp soil. Notably, the study showed that dry soils or light debris accumulation were the most favorable environments for pink bollworm larvae. Interpretation: The present study has generated useful information regarding the movement of PBWs larvae from rosette flowers to bolls that contribute to infestation. Hence, by implementing integrated pest management strategies during the early crop periods between 60 and 100 DAS, green boll infestations can be avoided and economic yields improved.

Aim: To quantify provisioning ecosystem services (PES) derived from homestead trees, estimate their economic value and contribution to rural livelihoods, and ascertain socio-economic determinants of household PES income from homestead trees in district Budgam of Kashmir. Methodology: In this study 106 homesteads were selected across 12 sample villages using multi-stage random sampling. Data were gathered through structured interviews, focus group discussions, homestead inventories, non-participant observations, and rapid market assessments. The data were analyzed through descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: The mean value of PES of homestead trees was ₹ 14349.27 per household per year, which was composed of fruits (45.54%), fuel wood (20.50%), tree browse (18.15%), timber (8.06%), and wicker (7.75%). PES of homestead trees constituted 4th important component of rural economy, accounting 16.23% of the average household's income. ANCOVA indicated that social membership, family size, family labour, farm size, livestock holding, main occupation, wealth status and annual income were potent predictors of household PES income from homestead trees. The R2 (0.872) of the ANCOVA model indicated that socio-economic determinants accounted for 87.20% of the variation in homestead trees' domestic PES revenue. Interpretation: Findings suggested that PES income from homestead trees is a vital intervention for socio-economic development, livelihood diversification, and forest conservation; hence, policy must be implicated towards a sustainable supply of PES from homestead trees by promoting homestead tree holdings.

Aim: Poor finger filling is often observed in Rasthali bananas, which results in low fruit yield. Hence, different growth regulators and nutrients were sprayed at various concentrations to enhance the yield and economics of Rasthali banana. Methodology: The experiment was conducted at Dharumathupatti village, Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu during 2022 and 2023 in a Randomized Block Design with eight treatments, replicated thrice. The treatments included Gibberellic acid @ 50 ppm (T1), NAA @ 50 ppm (T2), 2,4-D @ 25 ppm (T3), Ethephon @ 100 ppm (T4), Urea @ 10000 ppm (T5), Potassium nitrate @ 10000 ppm (T6), Potassium sulphate @ 20000 ppm (T7) and Control (T8). The spraying was done twice; the first spray at emergence of the last hand and the second, one month after the first spray. The observations on various growth, bunch and finger parameters as well as the benefit: cost ratio (B:C ratio) were recorded. Results: T7 treatment produced the highest number of leaves (8.97) whereas T4 treatment registered the minimum number of days taken from last hand opening to harvest (98.67). The highest bunch, finger parameters and benefit-to-cost ratio were also recorded in T7 treatment. Interpretation: Potassium sulphate (20000 ppm) effectively enhanced the growth, yield and economics of Rasthali banana. Key words: Banana cultivar, Bunch spray, Growth regulator, Potassium, Yield

Green Welding – The Saviour
Authors: Bose Rituraj
Published: October 2024

Though the welding technology has undergone a phenomenal change over the last five decades, the atmosphere or our environment is still under severe risk through the welding activities, including global warming. The main hazard due to welding activities are fumes and gases. In most of the welding operations, welding smoke is generated in large volume, which is a complex mixture of very fine particles (fumes) and airborne gases. To overcome the situation, green welding is the only way forward. Use of friction stir welding (FSW) is one of the ways towards green welding as well as to protect the environment somehow. Other less pollutant welding processes are also to be adopted as far as possible. Another way to protect our environment and to adopt green welding is to train the welders through virtual reality driven welding simulator.

Hvordan argumenterer norske elever i matematikk? En analyse av 15-åringers besvarelser på tre oppgaver fra PISA 2022
Authors: Senneset Marte K. , Pettersen Andreas
Published: October 2024

Det finnes en del tidligere forskning som har vist at skriftlig argumentasjon er krevende for elever (Evens & Houssart, 2004; Healy & Hoyles, 2000; Kosko & Zimmerman, 2017; Nippold & Ward-Lonergan, 2010). Likevel er det få studier som har undersøkt norske elevers skriftlige argumentasjon. Denne studien tar utgangspunkt i omtrent 2 500 besvarelser fra norske elever (15 år) på tre oppgaver fra PISA 2022. I oppgavene skulle elevene vurdere om en påstand er sann og gi en skriftlig begrunnelse for hvorfor eller hvorfor ikke. Formålet med studien er å undersøke karakteristikker ved elevenes skriftlige argumenter i disse oppgavene. Besvarelsene ble gruppert ut fra karakteristikker ved elevens argumenter gjennom en induktiv kodeprosess.

Kun en liten andel av besvarelsene ble vurdert til å inneholde et gyldig argument, noe som kan tyde på at det å argumentere skriftlig på denne typen oppgaver er krevende for norske elever. For de andre gruppene av besvarelser, finner vi blant annet argumenter med språklige uklarheter, argumenter som bygger på feil eller på misforståelser av oppgaven, og besvarelser som kun gjengir informasjon som er gitt i oppgaveteksten. De ulike karakteristikkene ved besvarelsene i gruppene tyder på at elevene strever med ulike sider ved det å legge fram et skriftlig argument. Videre viser resultatene at fordelingen av besvarelser i de ulike gruppene varierer på tvers av de tre oppgavene, noe som tyder på at oppgavens utforming påvirker hvilke typer feil eller mangler som oppstår i elevenes argumentasjon. Kapittelet diskuterer hvorvidt den lave andelen gyldige argumenter delvis kan skyldes at mange elever mangler kunnskap om hva som kjennetegner et gyldig argument.
The Study of Crime and Deviant Behaviour
Authors: S Mukhtar
Published: October 2024

The study of crime and deviant behaviour is a broad and complex field that encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, criminology, and criminal justice. Criminologists seek to understand the causes and consequences of crime and deviant behaviour, as well as develop effective strategies for prevention and control. One of the central goals of criminology is to identify the factors that contribute to crime. These factors can be broadly divided into two categories: individual and social. Individual factors include things like age, gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and personality. Social factors include things like poverty, inequality, unemployment, discrimination, and social norms. Criminologists also study the consequences of crime, both for victims and offenders. Victims of crime can experience a wide range of negative consequences, including physical injury, emotional trauma, and financial loss. Offenders can also experience negative consequences, such as imprisonment, stigma, and difficulty finding employment. In addition to understanding the causes and consequences of crime, criminologists also develop and evaluate strategies for prevention and control. Prevention strategies aim to reduce the likelihood that crime will occur in the first place. Control strategies aim to reduce the harm caused by crime when it does occur
Justice Derailed: Navigating the Turbulent Waters of Pakistan’s Judiciary through the Ages
Authors: AQ Gondal , Z Hatta
Published: October 2024

The judicial system in Pakistan has a rich historical evolution spanning over a millennium, including significant epochs like the Hindu era, Muslim period, British colonial rule, and post-independence developments. The objective of this paper is to understand the complexity and shortcomings that have defined Pakistan's legal system by comprehensive and critical analysis of the country's judicial history. With a focus on Pakistan's early years of independence, it sheds light on the difficulties to build judicial independence and a strong legal framework by delving into the historical growth of the judiciary and drawing inspiration from influential publications. The research methodology is multifaceted and combines legal analysis, historical research, and critical assessment to identify the underlying causes of the perceived shortcomings in Pakistan's judicial history. Using this historical basis, the study has critically examined the situation of the judiciary today, placing a strong emphasis on constitutional analysis to highlight the discrepancy between the goals of the constitution and their actual application. The research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the difficulties facing the judiciary by identifying anomalies and flaws in the decision-making process through the examination of major cases. It calls a thorough examination given to sociological viewpoints, practical difficulties, judicial corruption, public opinion, and the function of technology. As a result, this paper offers a forward-looking viewpoint and lays the groundwork for upcoming conversations and initiatives targeted at changing Pakistan's legal system.
DV Emotion Net: An Integrated Multimodal Approach for Emotion Recognition
Authors: D Dommeti , SRK Nallapati , R Alfaris
Published: October 2024

This study introduces a novel approach to emotion recognition by amalgamating information from heterogeneous modalities, specifically audio and video. We employed techniques such as energy, zero crossing rate, and Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) for audio feature extraction, which showed promising results. For video feature extraction, spatialtemporal Gaussian kernels were used to organize video frames within a linear scale space, followed by the application of a Gaussian-weighted function to the second momentum matrix for further feature extraction. The Multimodal Feature Aggregation (MFA) fusion method was employed to unify audio and video features, resulting in a comprehensive dataset. Evaluation through the Fusion of Emotion Recognition Convolutional Neural Network (FERCNN) model, supported by the "TPU VM v3-8" accelerator TPU is a Tensor Processing Unit, showcased notable performance improvements. Using the RAVDESS and CREMAD datasets, accuracies of 94.66%, 95.82%, and 94.36% in the RAVDESS dataset and 79.45%, 96.62%, and 70.14% in the CREMAD dataset for audio, video, and multimodal modalities, respectively, were achieved. These outcomes surpass the capabilities of existing multimodal systems, underscoring the efficacy of our proposed approach. Emotion recognition, particularly through multimodal means, plays a critical role in various domains, including human-computer interfaces, healthcare, legal proceedings, and entertainment. Fusing Audio and Video Modalities to Elevate Human-Computer Interaction and Intelligent System Performance is essential for enhancing communication within these domains. The proposed model is termed "DualVision EmotionNet: DV EmotionNet".
A Qualitative Measure of Veterans Treatment Courts Efficacy
Authors: F Lux , A Esmail , C Cofield , M Phillips-Meek
Published: October 2024

A lack of empirical evidence lending to the development of best practices for Veterans Treatment Courts (VTC) programs has stifled potential efficacy towards reducing recidivism rates amongst justice-involved veterans. The use of a qualitative, semistructured interview served to identify what programmatic factors of VTC lend to the success of the participants in preventing recidivism. Conversely, the interview design further evaluated what factors might be perceived as preventing success in and through the program. The resulting findings led to the realization of several programmatic factors identified by participants as contributing to success in the VTC program, as well as those that were noted as likely being detrimental to success. Recommendations for the role of these factors in the court are addressed, and the methods of this study as a viable research design to be promulgated through further research to that same end are presented.
The Role of Forensic Anthropology in Mass Disasters
Authors: V Garg
Published: October 2024

The Function of Criminal Justice in situations involving widespread disasters, forensic anthropology is essential to the identification and handling of human remains. Forensic anthropologists play a crucial role in victim identification procedures following natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and major accidents. Their expertise guarantees precise and considerate treatment of the corpses. Their proficiency encompasses not only the retrieval and scrutiny of skeletal remains but also the amalgamation of anthropological information with further forensic proof, such DNA analysis and dental records. This review looks at the various ways that forensic anthropology contributes to mass catastrophe response. The use of skeletal analysis techniques to ascertain the age, sex, ancestry, and stature of unidentified remains is one of the key areas of study. Trauma analysis is a tool used by forensic anthropologists to distinguish between pre-, peri-, and postmortem injuries. This helps them piece together the events leading up to the death. The field of forensic anthropology plays a vital role in mass disaster response by offering essential knowledge that facilitates precise identification and enhances the overall effectiveness of disaster management initiatives. As methods and procedures are developed further, forensic anthropologists will be better equipped to handle the difficulties of victim identification in such difficult situations. The assessment also looks at the logistical difficulties that arise in cases of major disasters, such as the requirement for quick and well-planned recovery efforts, collaboration with other forensic specialties, and handling substantial amounts of remains.

Mucocutaneous lymphonodular syndrome (KD) is a systemic vasculitis of childhood that was characterized in the observed clinical case by fever, inflammatory changes in the mucous membranes, skin, lymph nodes and CA damage. Features of this clinical case were as follows: 1. the diagnosis was established retrospectively 5 years later than the KD was suffered based on accidental detection of CA aneurysms, 2. the lack of adequate KD treatment had led to the formation of CA aneurysms, including a single one of a giant size, 3. despite the long-term absence of generally accepted thrombosis prophylaxis in a patient with a giant CA aneurysm, only 11 years later did a thrombus in the aneurysm formed for the first time, which had then regressed rapidly despite it is known from the bibliographical data and those of the Authors’ own that the risk for thrombosis is very high in patients with giant aneurysms. Conclusion: late KD diagnosis entails the development of the cardiovascular system complications, in particular, coronary aneurysms, which in its turn in the reported clinical case were an accidental finding during the patient’s checkup.

Authors: Nikulchenkova E.V.
Published: October 2024

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the transformation of crime into cyberspace, characterized by high latency, problems of detection and investigation, is a serious threat to modern society. The existing system of preventive measures and measures of criminal legal impact in Russia is not able to fully counteract cybercrime, which justifies the relevance and necessity of conducting scientific research in this area for the purpose of criminological and criminal law prevention of cybercrime. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to study the state of cybercrime in Russia, identify the main threats to cybercrime and develop measures to prevent it. Methodology. The methodological basis of the research was the general philosophical dialectical method of scientific cognition, which allows to obtain objective information about the processes and phenomena of the material world associated with cybercrime; comparative analysis, which revealed the relevance and problems of modern threats to cybercrime; systematization, which allowed to formulate conclusions and proposals for the prevention of cybercrime, taking into account current trends. Results. The criminological and criminal-legal information analyzed by the author on the transformation of cybercrime and the threats it poses to modern society dictate the need to develop comprehensive criminological support for prevention measures and conduct scientific research on its trends, patterns and determination. The existing potential cyber threats seem dangerous for the normal development of modern society. Most Russian companies were not ready for the emergence of a new method of cyber threat - the use of steelers. Methods of committing cybercrimes are constantly being improved. The latest digital technologies spread their effect in the criminal environment, actively propagandize extremist and terrorist slogans, form a destructive ideology among young people. The complexity of detecting and investigating cybercrimes is justified by many factors, including transnational nature, insufficient training of law enforcement. Conclusion. Proposals aimed at improving the effectiveness of interaction between various law enforcement agencies and other security structures in preventing cybercrime are formulated. The necessity of: victimological prevention for population groups at risk; conducting criminological monitoring of cybercrimes; supplementing criminal law legislation with the necessary terminology; adopting a cybersecurity Strategy in the Russian Federation is substantiated.

Authors: Tomilov Nikolay A.
Published: October 2024

The article characterizes the concept of historical community and in general terms it is proposed to distinguish five periods in the dynamics of the historical (socio-political) community of Russians. The first is determined by the creation of conditions for the formation of this community within the Russian state in the second half of the 16th - 17th century. The second covers the 18th century - the era of Peter the Great and subsequent transformations within the Russian Empire and is directly related to the formation of this community. The next two periods are determined by the processes in different areas of development under the conditions of the Russian Empire and then the Soviet system. Fifth period - from the 90s. 20th century to the present is characterized by a significant increase in the importance of the community of Russians in the development of Russian society.
The USSR and the Economic Aspect of Willy Brandt's “New Eastern Policy”: Conceptual Foundations of Economic Rapprochement
Authors: Sorokin Alexey N.
Published: October 2024

After Willy Brandt's government came to power, for the first time in the post-war period, the political situation turned from a deterrent into a stimulating factor for the development of economic relations between the FRG and the USSR. The concept of Brandt's “New Eastern Policy” was formed on the basis of a long evolution of his image of the USSR. In the field of economics, he stated the successes of Soviet construction and the need for assistance in this construction from the West. As burgomaster, the key to the birth of Brandt's concept was the construction of the Berlin Wall, after which the formula of “change through rapprochement” was born, where the economy played a constructive role as one of the areas free from irreconcilable contradictions. With the coming to power of Brandt, the interest in the development of eastern trade between business and government coincided. One of the main achievements of Brandt's eastern policy - the conclusion of the Moscow Treaty of 1970 - became a landmark event for the development of economic ties, creating a favorable business climate for the first time in the post-war period. For the Soviet side, the course towards economic rapprochement with the FRG was also determined by a complex of political and economic reasons. Germany, as a manufacturer of high-tech products, was of interest due to the need to modernize the Soviet economy, purchase machinery and equipment to increase labor productivity. The political factor was the desire to reduce the tension of the Cold War through mutually beneficial trade, while consolidating its own sphere of influence in Europe, and enlisting the support of influential commercial and industrial circles. General Secretary Brezhnev, KGB Chairman Andropov, as well as the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade played an important role in the development and implementation of the course.

Background: The term “corporate culture” is used to describe a company’s long-standing norms and practices, as well as the staff’s views and the anticipated value of their job. Executives may need to adjust their leadership styles to achieve the organization’s goal, which may have consequences for the satisfaction of the workforce. Therefore, it is essential to appreciate the relationship between business ethos, management style, work performance, mental health and employees’ job satisfaction. Methods: Researchers was conducting a cross-sectional survey of Saudi Arabian and Indian employees. Data was be collected using a structured questionnaire. To test the reliability of the data, they will be analysed by “Cronbach’s a and confirmatory factors”. SEM was be used to show the relationships of organizational cultures and leadership behaviour on work performance, mental health and job satisfaction through IBM-SPSS and SmartPLS software. Scope: A corporation with a strong culture and effective leadership shares principles and norms of behaviour with its workers, which should aid them in attaining their goals and objectives. Employees could gain work recognition, mental piece, work performance and job satisfaction when they can accomplish the obligations allotted to them by the company. Results: Corporate culture were significantly (positively) correlated with work performance, mental health and job satisfaction. In the same way, leadership behavior was significantly (positively) correlated with work performance, mental health and job satisfaction. Conclusions: The organisational culture holds significant importance, exerting a substantial influence on the overall well-being and productivity of the work environment. The acknowledgement and acceptance of the organisational ethos by workers can have a significant impact on their work behaviour and attitudes when it comes to communication and promotion. When there is a positive interaction between leadership and employees, the latter are more likely to actively contribute to team collaboration and interaction. Additionally, they are more likely to be motivated to achieve the organization’s assigned mission and objectives. As a result, work performance, mental health, and job satisfaction are enhanced.

The construction of researcher profiles is crucial for modern research management and talent assessment. Given the decentralized nature of researcher information and evaluation challenges, we propose a profile system for Chinese researchers based on unsupervised machine learning and algorithms. This system builds comprehensive profiles based on researchers’ basic and behavior information dimensions. It employs Selenium and Web Crawler for real-time data retrieval from academic platforms, utilizes TF-IDF and BERT for expertise recognition, DTM for academic dynamics, and K-means clustering for profiling. The experimental results demonstrate that these methods are capable of more accurately mining the academic expertise of researchers and performing domain clustering scoring, thereby providing a scientific basis for the selection and academic evaluation of research talents. This interactive analysis system aims to provide an intuitive platform for profile construction and analysis.

Published: October 2024

In the current digital age, financial development has seen substantial shifts, particularly in buying and selling activities that are now facilitated by digital technology or electronic transactions (e-commerce), which offer convenience at relatively low costs. However, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which play a crucial role in the economy, must adapt to these advancements to sustain and grow their businesses. Despite the widespread adoption of e-commerce, many MSMEs have yet to fully capitalize on this technology. Limited knowledge often leads to hesitation in embracing e-commerce opportunities. Consequently, this study seeks to explore how innovation, information management, and e-commerce adoption impact MSME performance and its implications for business sustainability. The research targets MSME owners and managers in the Jabodetabek area (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi) and nearby regions, with a sample of 420 individuals selected through random sampling. Data was collected through an online survey (Google Forms) administered to MSME management. The survey items were tested for validity and reliability, and the data analysis was conducted using various regression analyses with SEM-PLS and Smart-PLS3. The study’s findings highlight the following key points: 1) E-commerce adoption significantly enhances information management, which supports MSME sustainability; 2) E-commerce adoption also improves performance through better information management, further promoting MSME sustainability; 3) While technology is important, e-commerce adoption is the primary factor driving MSME sustainability, with technology serving as a secondary factor.
