The Reasons of Primark Brand Loyalty in The Post-Epidemic Era Based on Marketing Mix Theory
Authors: Wang Zirong
Published: January 2024

Brand loyalty has always been a hot topic in academia, with high theoretical and practical value. Primark is an Irish clothing retailer receiving consumers' favorites with affordable and fashionable clothing products. Meanwhile, unlike most brands, Primark doesn't participate in e-commerce sales and only carries out sales business offline. As a fast-fashion clothing shop, compared with the well-known global brands H&M and Zara, Primark's products are more affordable, while the product range is also more extensive. The epidemic has made a major impression on the global economy, which has also dealt a huge blow to the clothing industry. As for Primark, the closure of its shops during the epidemic caused a huge loss, but after the closure was over, Primark's shops had huge queues and saw a huge increase in sales in a short period. There is a lack of research on Primark in the academic world, and the research is not focused. Based on marketing mix theory, this paper adopts a qualitative approach to systematically sort out and summarize Primark's product, price, and promotion and explores the reasons for Primark's high brand loyalty. It was found that the diversity of Primark's product range, the cost-effectiveness of its price, the decline in consumer spending after the epidemic, and its digital marketing on social media were the key reasons for Primark's high brand loyalty.

Authors: Mutafyan M. , Shaghoyan G.
Published: January 2024

Mathematical modelling of practical statistical problems is a current topic in the school course, related to the development of various approaches and methods of modern solutions to many practical problems. The purpose of mathematical statistics is the development of methods of statistical observation and the collection and analysis of statistical data. The given article shows several numerical methods for studying mathematical statistics in the school course: measurements of central tendency, measurements of position, measurements of dispersion. Measures of central tendency indicate the “center” of the data along a number line and are usually reported as values representing the data. There are three common measures of central tendency: the arithmetic mean, the median, and the mode. Position metrics represent the three most basic positions in a list of numeric data, ordered from smallest to largest: start, end, and middle. In addition to these, the most common measures of position, quartiles and percentages, are also presented. Measures of dispersion show the degree to which the data are spread out. Among the measures of dispersion of the statistic, the rank, interquartile range, and standard deviation are presented. The practice of solving statistical problems serves to develop the skills of using probabilistic statistical concepts and methods at school, so the work presents the brief content of each method, calculation formulas, and examples.

Authors: Adamyan N.
Published: January 2024

The program of practical activities of the course “Methods of teaching biology” is diverse. In accordance with the requirements of the “Sectoral Qualifications Framework” (SQF) and on their basis, the goals and results of the Vocational Education Program in Biology established at ShSU were determined. They relate to the acquisition by the student of both professional knowledge and the acquisition of various skills and abilities. According to the requirements of the Standard, in addition to determining the program content of courses, an important issue is the correct choice of methods and forms of assessment. Some labs and seminars have educational/formative goals to help the student progress. For these, the current non-point grades are applied and do not affect the final grade. Edited, revised versions of these papers are already rated on a one scale as the end result of the student’s applied skills. Regardless of the educational activities and teaching methods, the best tool for an objective and reliable assessment of the level of work and achievements of the student are evaluation scales. In this paper, we will present two sample rating scales for assessing the outcomes of applied skills
and research work.
SAMPLE SCALE FOR ASSESSMENT OF THE FINAL RESULTS OF THE STUDENT’S PRACTICAL WORK
Authors: Adamyan N.
Published: January 2024

The article analyzes the role of rating scales in the objective assessment of training and results. Grading on scales in the training process is a guarantee in the sense of providing a constructive, mutually trusting working environment. It is especially effective when the work evaluation criteria and requirements are provided to the learner together with the proposal, and the learner himself participates in creating the scale. Methodical instructions for creating scales and requirements for a positive rating scale are given. Two evaluation scales with alternative approaches are also proposed for evaluating the final results of the student’s presentation of independent work and theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the practical classes of the courses “Methodology of Teaching Biology” and “Methodology of Solving Tasks”. When creating an evaluation scale, based on the features of the subject, first of all, it is necessary to select criteria that characterize the final results of the student’s activity. Then it is important to determine the requirements for different levels of scores based on the 146 principle of progressive complexity. Requirements must be measurable, realistic in terms of time, complexity and provision of knowledge, skills and abilities. The proposed scales are suitable as a model for objective assessment of similar final results of practical training in each professional course

Authors:   César Vallejo University, Trujillo, Peru, González-Cruz Darío
Published: January 2024

At the forefront of sustainable energy solutions lies renewable energy, particularly solar power. Nevertheless, the optimization of solar power systems necessitates comprehensive analytics, especially for proactive maintenance fault anticipation. This research evaluates data fusion techniques using both linear and non-linear regression models for predicting faults in solar power plants. The study begins with careful data preparation processes to ensure clean and harmonized data sets that include irradiation, temperature, historical fault records, and yield. Linear regression techniques provide insights into straightforward correlations while non-linear models go deep into complex relationships within the data. The results indicate positive outcomes demonstrating the potential of these fusion techniques as far as improving accuracy in fault prediction is concerned. These findings highlight the importance of refining data preparation prior to any fusion process and recommend further exploration into more advanced fusion methodologies. This paper helps advance proactive maintenance strategies for solar power plants thereby making this source of energy more dependable and resilient.
Examining the Influence of Corporate Governance on Working Capital Management: Insights from Malaysian Public Listed Companies in Selangor
Authors: Rahim Nurhazrina Mat , Adnan Mohd Fairuz , Yusoff Yusri Hazrol
Published: January 2024

Corporate governance and working capital management (WCM) are treated as essential subjects in financial management. Many researchers have studied the influence of corporate governance, but only a few of them have connected it with WCM efficiency. Particularly in Malaysia, there has been little concentration given to the relationship between corporate governance attributes and the WCM of the companies. Therefore, the present study intends to analyse the impact of corporate governance represented by CEO tenure, CEO Duality, Board size and Audit Committee on WCM represented by the current ratio of 35 Selangor-based companies which are listed under the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Top 100 Index.The results from this study show that CEO tenure has a significant negative impact on the current ratio, while CEO duality has a positive impact on the current ratio. Moreover, board size has no significant impact on the current ratio, and the audit committee has a significant positive impact on the current ratio. These findings imply that effective corporate governance mechanisms can significantly affect WCM. The result is expected to enable the owners of the firms to improve their corporate governance practices to enhance WCM efficiency and, furthermore, contribute to the enhancement of the profitability of the firms and maximise shareholders' wealth indirectly. Additionally, the findings from this study can also be a guide for good corporate governance' criteria that significantly affect the efficiency of WCM to be practised by other companies, including SMEs and other organisations.
Religious coping and suicidal ideation as a predictive model for suicide attempts
Authors: Jacob Isadora R.R. , Soares Marcos H. , De Oliveira Katya L.
Published: January 2024

Background and objective: Religious coping can help understanding suicide in its prevention and intervention. The objective of this study was to investigate if religious coping and suicidal ideation could be used as a predictive model for suicide attempts.Methods: This is a survey and correlational delineation, carried out in southern Brazil with 260 adults assisted by the a public mental health service in two cities in northern Paraná from October 2020 to June 2021. For data collection, three instruments were used: The first one was a sociodemographic/clinical questionnaire to profile the participants; The second instrument was composed of 30 items dealing with impulsivity manifestations. The third instrument was used because it addresses coping and how people deal with everyday adversity through faith. Logistic regression analysis was used, through the SPSS®, v. 28. The dichotomous outcome variable was the suicide attempt, and the independent variables were a negative domain of the RCOPE scale. At first, three regression models were considered. A greater adherence happened only when the nominal variable “Have you ever tried to commit suicide?” qualified as an outcome variable.Results: The suicide attempt as an outcome and the other variables performing as predictive represented a higher sensitivity (96.8%) compared to the previous models. As the negative coping score was increased by 1 unit, there was also an increase in the chances of suicide attempting by 1.83 times (95% CI 1.11;3.00).Conclusions: It was discussed that religiosity has a positive impact on suicidal behavior, as it provides well-being/happiness, especially for those with mental disorders. This study would contribute to understanding the role and effects of religious coping in the process of counseling by healthcare workers. It is the first study to present predictive modelling for suicide attempt from negative religious coping. Hopefully, it would contribute to improve the process of counseling by mental health nurses and other healthcare workers.

Published: January 2024

Introduction:

Patients presenting with spinal cord injury (SCI) often times have notable deficits or polytrauma and may require urgent decision making for early management. However, their presentation may affect decision-making ability. Although advance care planning (ACP) may help guide spine surgeons as to patient preferences, the rate at which they are available and disparities in ACP completion are still not understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate disparities in the completion of ACP among patients with acute SCI.

Methods:

All patients presenting with cervical SCI to the emergency department at an urban, tertiary level I trauma center from 2010 to 2021 were identified from a prospective database of all consults evaluated by the spine service. Each patient's medical record was reviewed to assess for the presence of ACP documents such as living will, power of attorney, or advance directive. Community-level socioeconomic status was assessed using the Distressed Communities Index. Bivariable and multivariable analyses were performed.

Results:

We identified 424 patients: 104 (24.5%) of whom had ACP. Patients with ACP were older (64.8 versus 56.5 years, P = 0.001), more likely White (78.8% versus 71.9%, P = 0.057), and present with ASIA Impairment Scale grade A SCI (21.2% versus 12.8%, P = 0.054), although the latter two did not reach statistical significance. On multivariable logistic regression, patients residing in at-risk communities were significantly less likely to have ACP documents compared with those in prosperous communities (odds ratio [OR]: 0.29, P = 0.03). Although patients living in distressed communities were less likely to complete ACP compared with those in prosperous communities (OR 0.50, P = 0.066), this did not meet statistical significance. Female patients were also less likely to have ACP (OR: 0.43, P = 0.005).

Conclusion:

Female patients and those from at-risk communities are markedly less likely to complete ACP. Attention to possible disparities during admission and ACP discussions may help ensure that patients of all backgrounds have treatment goals documented.

Published: January 2024

In the year 2020, when the global pandemic of COVID-19 emerged, individuals first exhibited a rather nonchalant attitude towards the acquisition of health insurance. However, as the devastating consequences of the virus became apparent through the substantial loss of lives among their familial, social, and kinship networks, individuals began to experience heightened concerns regarding their own health and potential complications. This study aims to investigate the correlation between the purchasing intention of health insurance and awareness, security, risk coverage and satisfaction. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of various factors on individuals’ decision-making process while selecting health insurance coverage. The objective of this research is to evaluate the moderating impact of education and occupation on the correlation between various traits and the decision to obtain health insurance. The researcher employed multiple regression analysis to evaluate the association, considering the moderating function of education and occupation as a moderating variable.

Um requisito de software é uma propriedade do sistema com o objetivo de resolver um problema particular do mundo real. O objeto de estudo neste trabalho é uma empresa responsável pela gestão da concessão de estradas de rodagem. Durante a fase de análise, cinco atores principais foram identificados com papéis críticos: Analista de Dados; Gestor de Estradas; Usuário das Estradas; Gestor de Reclamações; Rede de Atendimento. A fim de captar cada necessidade das partes interessadas e pontos de vista, a técnica de casos de uso foi selecionada como principal ferramenta para descrever os serviços e suas relações. Como resultado, pode-se destacar que o ciclo de vida de um caso de uso tem três fases principais: requisitos, desenvolvimento e teste. Os resultados deste estudo podem contribuir para que as empresas possam minimizar os problemas relacionados à elaboração e ao uso de requisitos no processo de modelagem de seus sistemas, aproximando sua abordagem mais aderente à luz dos stakeholders.

У статті досліджено проблему відсутності чіткого визначення поняття «алокація активів» як в українській, так і в зарубіжній науковій літературі. Проаналізовано деякі визначення, що надаються видатними вченими в області портфельного менеджменту, та виявлено наявні неоднозначності. Запропоновано нове визначення поняття «алокація активів», яке є чітким та враховує основні аспекти цього процесу та відповідає сучасним реаліям фінансових ринків. Розглянуто класифікацію активів за класами в різних наукових працях та визначено, що класифікація активів проводиться суб’єктивно керуючим інвестиційного портфеля безпосередньо в процесі управління інвестиційним портфелем на початкових етапах з урахуванням поставлених вимог та обмежень. Досліджено особливості різних підходів до алокації активів, виділено такі типи як стратегічна, тактична дискреційна, тактична систематична та динамічна алокації активів. Проведено порівняльний аналіз підходів до алокації активів з ряду факторів, таких як фундаментальний принцип, що лежить в основі підходу, частота ребалансування, механізм прийняття рішень, мінімальний рівень експертних знань та контроль ризику. Виділено переваги та недоліки кожного підходу, що дозволить інвестиційним фондам обрати той підхід, що найбільше пасує до їхньої інвестиційної стратегії. Визначено перспективи подальших досліджень у напрямку створення більш уніфікованої класифікації активів, зокрема враховуючи суб’єктивний характер класифікації, який виявлено у даній роботі. Тип статті: емпірична.

Tuberculosis is a curable communicable infectious disease in majority caused by bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis patients requiring acute intensive care make up about 1-3% of all tuberculosis patients. Targeted therapy is often delayed due to the atypical progression of the tuberculosis disease and its forms. Patients with respiratory failure due to advanced destruction of the lung parenchyma in pulmonary tuberculosis are among the most common reasons for admission to the intensive care unit. Massive hemoptysis as a symptom of advanced chronic tuberculosis is a severe condition with a risk of suffocating the patient. Neurological symptoms in miliary tuberculosis are a common sign of advanced disease, leading the patient to the intensive care department. Tuberculosis patients, regardless of age, often present with serious hypoalbuminemia, which is a significant predictor of mortality and morbidity.
