Authors: Liu Yisi , Salleh Kahirol Mohd
Published: October 2024

This study focuses on exploring the influential relationship between Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and the employment competence in Yunnan Province, China. Employment competence categorized into two main dimensions: the "hard" dimension consists of work stability and the ability to find a job (employability), and the "soft" level includes job satisfaction and salary level. In this study, 495 samples were collected through WenJuanXing using stratified random sampling method with professional stratification (Industrial Engineering, Agriculture, Tourist Industry, Health, and Internet Engineering). This study used survey questionnaire to collect data and quantitative research method to explore the relationship between TVET and the employment competence in Yunnan Province, China. The present study analyzed the relationship between TVET and employment competence through descriptive and inferential statistics. A survey of the employment status of 495 TVET graduates found that the Pearson's coefficients range from 0.367 to 0.470, indicating varying degrees of moderate to strong positive relationships between the TVET and employment competence in Yunnan Province, China, and in particular a high relationship with job satisfaction and salary levels. Such results bring recommendations for educational institutions in Yunnan Province China: the development of high-quality TVET program can enhance employment competence and thus reduce the unemployment rate at present.

The objective of this research is to estimate the labor impact of the National Program of direct support to the poorest JUNTOS in Peru for the year 2021. The methodology used is the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) through the nearest neighbor method; the database of the National Household Survey ENAHO 2021 is used as a source of information. The results of the logit model indicate that poverty, unsatisfied basic needs and education do influence the probability of participation in the Juntos Social Program and are statistically significant at a 1% level; the expected signs of the coefficients of the logit model are correct. On the other hand, the effect of the Juntos Social Program on the length of the working day is negative for the year 2021; it is found that the value of the average treatment effect in the treated population (ATT) is -1.167, which is highly significant at a 1% level. This indicates that participation in the Juntos Social Program is associated with an average reduction of 1.167 hours per week in working hours. This suggests that the economic transfer provided by the program is not sufficient to replace the workday, which implies that beneficiaries must continue to participate in the labor field.

Published: October 2024

Growing global concerns over environmental issues, such as climate change and pollution, have heightened the demand for sustainable business practices, particularly in the banking sector. Financial institutions support environmental sustainability through green finance by offering eco-friendly products like green loans and bonds. This study examines how BNI's Go-Green initiative enhances SME customer loyalty by incorporating the sustainable marketing mix, focusing on people, profit, and planet. A quantitative approach was used to assess the impact of the sustainable marketing mix on SME performance and customer loyalty within BNI's Go Green movement in Bukittinggi, Indonesia. A stratified random sample of 303 SMEs was selected from a population of 1,239. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) validated the measurement model, and the structural model assessed direct and indirect effects. The variable had the highest Average Variance Extracted (AVE) 0.873. Discriminant validity showed a strong correlation between business sustainability and customer loyalty (0.768). Place and Business Sustainability had significant positive effects on customer loyalty, while People and Planet had more limited impacts. This study introduces the expanded marketing mix people, profit, and planet into the green finance framework and highlights the underexplored mediating role of business sustainability in fostering SME customer loyalty. The findings emphasize the importance of aligning green banking products with SME needs to enhance loyalty and support global sustainability goals, including the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Authors:   GAIL Global (USA) Inc., Houston, Texas-USA, Khichi Mahendra K.
Published: October 2024

When it comes to communicating a company's performance in terms of sustainability, ESG reporting, which is an acronym that stands for environmental, social, and governance reporting, is a key component. On the other hand, there are still issues with standards, data quality, and consistency requirements. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ways in which digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to enhance environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting by resolving these issues. For the purpose of streamlining data collecting, improving quality, and simplifying communication, digital technology and artificial intelligence employ a broad variety of complex approaches. Some examples of these methods include blockchain technology, data analytics, machine learning, and natural language processing. Using regression analysis and data collected from A-share listed companies between the years 2012 and 2021, this study investigates the relationship between digital transformation and the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of businesses. The study has an emphasis on the repercussions that are associated with artificial intelligence, digital technology, and ESG reporting (environmental, social, and governance). A number of different aspects, including corporate governance, risk assessment, shareholder value, and corporate responsibility, are all affected by these ramifications. For any business that aspires to grow, develop, become more efficient, and maintain a competitive advantage over its rivals, digital technology and artificial intelligence are indispensable tools. The reporting of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues contributes to the advancement of sustainable development and has a beneficial impact on the risk profile, reputation, performance, and total value of entities. As a result of a comprehensive study, methodological inquiry, and analysis, this research provides useful insights and ideas for enhancing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting via the use of digital technology and artificial intelligence. It is discovered that the application of digital technology and artificial intelligence results in ESG reporting that is more comprehensive and has a better degree of confidence.
Uranium Mill Tailings Generation and Management Challenges
Authors:   Health Physics Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai 400085, India, Singhal Pallavi , Jha Sanjay. K.
Published: October 2024

Uranium mining has been ongoing for the past 200 years, yet managing uranium waste remains a significant challenge. This difficulty arises due to strict regulations imposed on uranium-related industries, driven by the assumed health risks associated with radiation. As a result, much of the waste generated by nuclear industries is currently stored. In India, uranium mining and milling waste is stored that require large tracts of land and continuous monitoring. Given the high value of land in India and the potential expansion of uranium mining to meet net-zero emission targets, an effective solution for managing uranium mill tailings is urgently needed. Meanwhile, India's construction sector is rapidly growing that require a huge quantity of materials. This paper reviewed the history of uranium mining and mill tailings generation and propose that the construction industry could effectively utilize these tailings. This approach not only addresses resource scarcity but also promotes environmental sustainability by conserving natural resources, reducing ecological imbalances, and advancing a circular economy.
Modeling Cs-137 Migration in Groundwater due to Low Probability Event of Leaching from Near Surface Disposal Facility for Low Level Solid Radioactive Waste
Authors:   Health Physics Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai 400 085, India., Goel Shelly , Chopra Manish , Oza R.B.
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we present impact of Cesium-137 (Cs-137) disposal in a Near Surface Disposal Facility (NSDF) with respect to groundwater migration and its consumption for drinking. We employ the Multiple Area Source Model for simulating the fate of radionuclide in groundwater to evaluate its potential contamination due to extremely low probability event of leaching from the NSDF. The assessment conservatively assumes direct interaction between disposal trenches and the underlying aquifer neglecting the barrier provided by the unsaturated zone. Temporal profiles of concentration of Cs-137 at different down flow distances in groundwater are obtained over a period extending several years post-disposal. The results indicate that even under such a worst-case conservative scenario and for an annual disposal rate of 3 TBq/y for a period of 50y, the maximum Cs-137 concentration in groundwater remains significantly below the safe drinking water threshold of 10 Bq/L recommended by the World Health Organization. It is found that amount of Cs-137 generally disposed in NSDF is significantly lower than the allowable disposal limit corresponding to concentration defined for safe drinking water limit.

Cultural exchange: A case study of Huizhou architecture Yin Yu Tang reassembly in the United States
Authors: Chen Juan , Pintong Sarawuth
Published: October 2024

In 1997, the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) acquired the Yin Yu Tang (Hall of Plentiful Shelter), a historic Huizhou building situated in Xiuning County, Anhui province, China. This structure is a significant example of China’s Huizhou architectural heritage. It was shipped to the United States, and underwent meticulous reconstruction at the museum’s premises in Salem, Massachusetts. The objectives of this research were 1) to scrutinize the transplantation of architectural heritage within the Yin Yu Tang project, as well as its related cultural and traditional aspects; 2) to describe how Yin Yu Tang was "revitalized" in a new socio-cultural environment by providing an in-depth interpretation of Yin Yu Tang in a multicultural context; and 3) to examine the essential position of Yin Yu Tang in the overseas dissemination of traditional Huizhou architecture. This study adopts research methods in architectural culturology to conduct an analytical study, gathering information from existing documents in the United States and collecting data through interviews with key individuals in China. It is clearly shown that the "transplantation" of the Yin Yu Tang provides a valuable cross-cultural opportunity for the American public to gain insights into Chinese culture, architecture, customs, and family routines. It also encourages reflection on the importance of preserving historic buildings, not only from an architectural standpoint but also in terms of adapting to evolving values through the lens of architectural culture.

Feline mammary fibroepithelial hyperplasia (FMFH) is a benign, non-neoplastic condition that primarily affects young female cats, usually less than two years old. It is characterized by the proliferation of mammary duct epithelium and periductal connective tissue, associated with the hormonal effects of endogenous and exogenous progestogens. Although more common in females during pregnancy, pseudopregnancy, or early estrus, it can also occur in males after prolonged treatment with progestogens. This report describes the case of an uncastrated male cat in which two small nodules were found in the abdominal region, and subsequently, five more nodules were detected in the mammary region via ultrasound. These nodules underwent fine-needle aspiration cytology, revealing well-differentiated epithelial and mesenchymal cells, suggestive of fibroadenomatous mammary hyperplasia. The animal then underwent castration and, the next day after the procedure, the nodules completely disappeared.

This scientific article seeks to analyze the applicability of the Non-Prosecution Agreement (ANPP), which is a decriminalizing institute brought in by the Anti-Crime Package created in Law 13.964, of December 24, 2019. In this article, we have chosen to address the Non-Prosecution Agreement applicable to environmental crimes. The problem will be to analyze the feasibility of applying the Non-Prosecution Agreement in environmental crimes, considering their nature of damage to the environment. The general objective is to understand the challenges of applying the NPA in environmental crimes. The specific objectives are to investigate whether the agreement is applicable to environmental crimes that do not involve violence or serious threats, as well as to evaluate the combination between the economic condition of the offenders and the terms that are generally proposed, identifying possible disparities and impacts. And finally, to evaluate the combination between the economic condition of the offenders and the terms that are generally proposed in ANPPs in environmental crime cases, identifying possible disparities and impacts on the fairness of the accountability process. The inductive method was used, based on theoretical foundations found in bibliographic research, such as public documents, books, scientific articles, case law and internet data.
¿Qué significa crecer como persona? Una crítica antropológico-personalista al olvido transhumanista del “quién” humano
Authors: Cabiedas Tejero Juan Manuel
Published: October 2024

Este estudio pretende interpretar críticamente una relevante afirmación de Nick Bostrom acerca de la trascendencia antropológica del proyecto transhumanista: “buscamos un crecimiento personal más allá de las limitaciones biológicas del presente”. Para ello nos fijamos, en primer lugar, en la cuestión que parece quedar al margen de la operación transhumanista de mejora y, sobre todo, de futura inmortalización tecnocientífica de la biología humana: ¿quién es el que trascenderá la biología? En segundo lugar, partiendo de la primera definición filosófica del hombre como ser personal, tomamos esa cuestión marginal para el transhumanismo como aquella que, en último término, concede su verdadero logos o razón de ser a la identidad del hombre como totalidad de sentido que es y se desarrolla en el mundo al modo humano.

Centauros del desierto: apuntes para una lectura desde el Personalismo Integral
Authors: Carreño Aguado Julen A.
Published: October 2024

Tanto la figura de John Ford como su obra Centauros del desierto han sido objeto de incontables estudios y aproximaciones doctrinales, las cuales en su mayoría han propuesto lecturas en clave mítico-fundacional, a menudo estableciendo comparaciones entre el western y la obra en cuestión, y los patrones heredados de la tradición homérica. El objetivo de este estudio es más humilde y propone una perspectiva diferente. Se trata aquí de esbozar, a partir de una lectura fílmica personal que destaca una batería de aspectos de interés en la película, así como de las diferencias advertidas entre esta y la novela de Le May, unos apuntes que puedan servir para ensayar una mirada filosófica desde el personalismo integral de Juan Manuel Burgos.
Data Science for a Smarter Currency Supply Chain: Optimizing Cash Flow with Machine Learning for White Label ATMs
Authors: Kumar Maroju Praveen
Published: October 2024

Effective cash flow management in White Label ATMs (WLAs) ensures liquidity and reduces operational costs. This paper explores the application of data science and machine learning techniques to optimize the currency supply chain for WLAs. We developed predictive models using time series forecasting, regression models, and neural networks to forecast cash demand and optimize replenishment schedules by analyzing historical transaction data, seasonal patterns, and geographical influences. The proposed solution integrates these machine learning algorithms with traditional logistics to create a smarter and more responsive ATM network. Python, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and TensorFlow were used for data processing, model development, and evaluation. The dataset comprised three years of historical transaction data from a network of WLAs enriched with demographic and economic indicators. Our findings suggest that machine learning can significantly enhance the efficiency of cash distribution, minimize downtime, and reduce costs associated with cash handling and transportation.

Authors: Gavrilović Ljiljana
Published: October 2024

This text analyses example of the construction site fence around Yerebatan Park, above the Basilica Cistern in Sultanahmet District in Istanbul. It considers the involvement of “heritage” bearers, i.e. city dwellers, and tourists in the process of protection/reconstruction of cultural monuments and wider urban areas. Small moves, such as printing material that conveys and interprets the story of objects/heritage that is in the process of protection and/or reconstruction and placing it in a public space, can affect citizens, informing them about what is happening in their city, as well as tourists, for which serve as additional information about the foreign and unknown city in which they are located. At the same time, the basic function of the fence (separation of accessible and inaccessible space) is transformed into a potential link between socially divided groups of people (city residents and tourists) and directly affects the shaping of their identities.

Published: October 2024

Proper management is necessary for the selling function to survive effectively and efficiently in the organizational structure of an enterprise. By managing sales, i.e. sales force, the enterprise strives to accomplish the ‘-proclaimed’ goals and strategy. Within organizational sales, personal selling activities are also subordinated to managerial competencies (managers, directors, etc.), which are hierarchically positioned and have formal responsibilities. This paper aims to explain the process of personal selling management in an enterprise under the influence of current market conditions and global trends. The paper points out that there have been significant changes in the attitude towards work, management method, applying sophisticated tools, designing planning and strategic tasks, using information, etc. Today, a sales manager must possess the skill of making the right quality decisions, manage staff in an efficient and convincing way, have a sense of communication, clear the way for creativity and successfully solve problems.

Considering the humanization of international law, international tourism continues to challenge the right to freedom of movement. The opportunity to meet other people, visit different places, and experience diverse cultures is a unique and individual experience that can reduce the likelihood of international conflicts. As such, international tourism is an important vehicle through which individuals can contribute to global peace. Ensuring the free movement of international tourists is not only essential for the proper functioning of the tourism industry but also reflects the global rights of individuals. In recent years, the global tourism industry has faced significant challenges beyond terrorism, including the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war, and the ongoing tensions in regions like the Middle East. These events have underscored the vulnerability of international tourism to external shocks and the resulting impact on global stability and peace. The reinstatement of visa requirements by countries like Brazil in 2024 further illustrates the delicate balance between national security and the right to freedom of movement. This paper discusses the complex relationship between the right to freedom of movement under international law and the various factors that impact international tourism, including terrorism, pandemics, and geopolitical conflicts. It highlights the critical importance of maintaining open and secure borders for the continuation of international tourism and its role in fostering global understanding and peace.

This systematic review synthesizes findings from 85 articles to examine flood-resistant design strategies in coastal regions, emphasizing an integrated approach that combines traditional engineering solutions, nature-based strategies, green infrastructure, adaptive design, and predictive modeling. The review identifies a continuing reliance on engineered defenses, such as seawalls and automated floodgates, which have proven effective but are limited in addressing the escalating impact of climate change. Findings highlight the growing importance of nature-based solutions—wetlands, mangroves, and coral reefs—that not only mitigate flood risks but also enhance biodiversity and long-term sustainability. Green infrastructure, including permeable pavements and rain gardens, emerges as a valuable urban solution, although it faces implementation challenges in densely populated areas. The integration of predictive modeling and real-time data is transforming flood management by enabling proactive and adaptive responses, though these technologies remain financially inaccessible for many regions. Comparative analysis underscores that flood-resilient design is highly context-dependent, with successful practices varying based on local geography, resources, and socio-economic factors. This review concludes that future flood-resilient infrastructure must prioritize adaptable, sustainable, and region-specific solutions, highlighting the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration and continued policy support to enhance flood resilience and protect vulnerable coastal communities against the effects of climate change.

The collegiate experience significantly influences students’ academic, personal, and social development. Roommate relationships, a central part of shared living arrangements, are crucial for students’ psychosocial well-being and academic success. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of personality-based roommate matching systems in improving roommate compatibility, fostering personal development, and enhancing academic performance. A comprehensive search of the Google Scholar and Scopus databases was conducted to identify studies on automated and personality-based systems. Selected studies were screened and analyzed to assess the impact on resource allocation, student satisfaction, and housing efficiency. Personality-based systems - such as fuzzy clustering models, genetic algorithms, and rule-based algorithms - significantly outperform traditional methods in enhancing compatibility and resource allocation. Findings highlight the positive impact of roommate compatibility on students’ self-confidence, communication, and independence, with female students facing unique challenges. Positive relationships, especially among students with high extraversion and conscientiousness, correlate with improved academic outcomes, while negative interactions and depressive symptoms are linked to lower performance and well-being. Personality assessments, like the Open Four Temperaments Scales Test, show promise in reducing conflicts and increasing satisfaction. The study suggests that integrating personality profiling with technology can provide supportive living environments in higher education. However, gaps remain in understanding their impact across different institutional and cultural contexts. Further research is needed to explore the long-term efficacy of these systems. This review provides insights for institutions seeking to optimize hostel management practices and support student development.

O Streptococcus agalactiae, classificado como estreptococo beta-hemolítico do grupo B (EGB), é um patógeno de relevância clínica devido à sua associação com infecções neonatais, que apresentam altas taxas de mortalidade. Este estudo tem como objetivo revisar a literatura sobre as complicações neonatais associadas a infecções por S. agalactiae, identificar possíveis fatores de risco e explorar as estratégias profiláticas disponíveis. Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, utilizando as bases de dados PubMed, Google Acadêmico e a Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), com os descritores "Streptococcus agalactiae", "gestantes", "recém-nascido" e "infecções estreptocócicas". Foram incluídos artigos publicados entre 2016 e 2024, em inglês e português. Os resultados indicam que S. agalactiae é o principal agente causador de doenças invasivas neonatais, incluindo sepse, meningite e pneumonia, sendo a colonização vaginal materna um fator de risco significativo. As principais estratégias preventivas incluem o uso de swabs vaginal e retal para detectar S. agalactiae entre a 35ª e 37ª semana de gestação, além da profilaxia antibiótica intraparto (PAI). Conclui-se que essas medidas são eficazes na redução das complicações neonatais e da mortalidade associada ao patógeno.

Good oil palm seedlings planted in Malaysia can enhance the nursery area, the economy, and rural employment. Nitrogen (N), potassium (K), \and magnesium (Mg) deficiencies in oil palm seedlings could have an adverse effect on growth and seedling quality. In contrast, excess fertiliser in oil palm seedlings could reduce macronutrients and soil organic matter levels. Moreover, various diseases appear on the oil palm seedling leaves resulting from nutrient deficiencies. Oil palm seedlings with nutrient deficiencies were more susceptible to pathogens and diseases than healthy oil palm seedlings. Thus, image processing made it possible to quickly and accurately control oil palm seedlings' growth and avoid diseases. In this research study, image processing was proposed to classify nutrient deficiencies in oil palm seedling leaves subjected to the three different fertiliser rates. The dataset for this research study was collected from a nursery and consisted of 868 images classified into four classes (Healthy, Nitrogen, Potassium and Magnesium). According to the experiment's findings, the Xception model achieved the highest percentage of classification accuracy, 98.60%, within a short time. It can be concluded that the proposed implementation of image processing for the classification of nutrient deficiencies in oil palm seedling leaves was effective. However, more datasets could be added in the future to achieve a better balance and enhance classification performance.
