Published: September 2024

Digital technologies fundamentally change business strategies, the mechanism of business organization both at the national and international level. Thanks to the automation of business processes, companies optimize costs, generate new types of products, transform their own business models, expanding their global presence. Based on the analysis of the existing scientometric base of the digital transformation of international business, the methodological foundations of its conceptualization were determined and a conceptual model consisting of a cognitive core, social environment, and technological superstructure was developed. It is substantiated that the methodological foundations of the conceptualization of digital transformation are long-term goal setting, digitalization, effective strategy, the principle of "empowerment", bimodal IT architecture, investment in artificial intelligence and digital competences. It was revealed that the concept of digital transformation of business lies in the plane of partnership, human-centered, knowledge, information technology, strategic dimensions and digitalization dimension. The article considers the conceptualization of digital transformation in international business. Digital transformation is a key factor in the modernization and development of modern companies operating on a global scale. The authors analyze the main trends, technologies and approaches that contribute to the introduction of digital innovations in international business, including artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things, blockchain and cloud computing. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the impact of digital transformation on the competitiveness of companies in the international arena, optimization of business processes, improvement of supply chains and improvement of the quality of customer service. In addition, challenges related to the implementation of the latest technologies are considered, in particular, issues of cyber security, legal regulation and change management in organizations. The article emphasizes the importance of strategic planning and the development of digital competencies for successful adaptation to the new conditions of the business environment. Ultimately, the article highlights the importance of digital transformation for international business development, particularly as a tool.

An Analytical Study of the Recognition of Silent Letters in the Pronunciation of English Words by Baghdadi Arabic Speakers
Authors: AlMuselhy Ahmed Ali Hussein , AlJumaily Raed Ali
Published: September 2024

The phonetic system in English differs to some extent from that of Arabic. Novice Baghdadi Iraqi speakers encounter numerous challenges in pronouncing English words as a result of this. As an illustration, it is common to hear English learners articulate "assign” /əˈsaɪn/ as / əˈsaɪgn / or "kneel," / niːl/ as /k niːl/. The objective of this study is to detect prevalent distortions in the pronunciation of silent letters in English words among Baghdadi Iraqi English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. The methodology employed in this analysis was a qualitative descriptive study. Utilizing purposive sampling methods, a sample of 5 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) novices was chosen from the 1st level of the English Department, Dijlah University, Iraq. These learners were categorized as novice high-level learners (beginners). Analytically descriptive methodology was employed to analyze the data obtained from tests. The findings of this study indicate that EFL novices make errors when pronouncing words that include silent letters such as b, c, d, g, gh, h, k, l, m, n, p, s, t, th, and w. The writers examine three positions of the silent letters in words (beginning, medial, and final), and, by that understanding, it becomes feasible to create valuable instructional resources and teaching techniques to address this matter.

Hydroxyurea: An Old Drug in Need of New Clinical Trials in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms?
Authors:   Southern Sydney Haematology Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health University of Wollongong, Arumugam Manoharan , I Enggist Sonia ,   St. George Hospital, Kogarah Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Published: September 2024

Hydroxyurea (Hu) has been a front-line therapeutic agent for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) for many years and still enjoys the endorsement of experts in the field. However, several publications have reported sub-optimal response, the need for treatment interruption because of cytopenias and lack of sustained response. In all these studies, Hu was used as continuous therapy at a daily dose ranging from 500mg to 3000mg. At our Centre we have used Hu as intermittent therapy (akin to schedules used in patients with solid tumours) at 20-30mg/Kg doses, given as a single dose, twice or thrice weekly. We have consistently observed sustained responses without troublesome cytopenias. Concurrent anti-platelet therapy was given on the basis of the results of whole blood platelet aggregation studies, achieving effective thromboprophylaxis. In this report we present our experience in 118 patients treated with intermittent Hu during the past 30 years (median follow-up 8.5 yrs): polycythemia vera – 29; essential thrombocythemia – 84; primary myelofibrosis – 5. Based on the pharmacokinetics of Hu and our experience, we speculate that the efficacy of intermittent Hu therapy without troublesome myelotoxicity over long periods of time is attributable to the following: i) higher plasma level from intake of Hu as a single dose; ii) higher uptake of Hu by cells with higher mitotic activity (i.e. the abnormal clone); and iii) unhindered, normal haemopoiesis on the drug free days each week. We hope that this article will generate interest and contemplation, leading to further publications from Centres using intermittent Hu therapy and randomized clinical studies to compare the two dosage schedules (Continuous Vs Intermittent) in MPN patients.
In Defense of an Account of Degrees of Epistemic Responsibility
Authors: Huda Kazi A S M Nurul
Published: September 2024

This article explores the concept of degrees of epistemic responsibility by examining the debate between Michael Bishop and Katherine Puddifoot on the internalist perspective on epistemic responsibility. While Bishop’s empirical evidence challenges internalism, Puddifoot argues it can be supportive. The author presents an account of degrees of epistemic responsibility, drawing inspiration from Martin Montminy’s idea of moral responsibility. The central argument suggests that an agent is epistemically responsible only if her reasoning strategy aligns with her epistemic abilities, a concept referred to as epistemic par performance. The paper discusses how the Bishop-Puddifoot debate contributes to this perspective, presents Montminy’s view on moral responsibility, and applies it to epistemic responsibility, emphasizing the importance of matching reasoning strategies with individual abilities. The article ultimately highlights the contextual, ability-dependent, and effort-inclusive nature of epistemic responsibility and offers a framework to recognize and credit agents based on their contributions and endeavors in expanding our epistemic horizons.

Objective: Ketamine has interesting pharmacological properties for sedation-analgesia in intensive care. However, there are few studies on its benefit-risk balance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ketamine compared with midazolam + fentanyl in mechanically ventilated patients. Methods: Randomised, non-inferiority, open-label, multicentre controlled trial. Patients aged 18 years or older requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours were randomised to receive, after rapid sequence intubation, ketamine at a starting dose of 0.5 mg/kg/h (n = 191) or midazolam 0.2mg/kg/h + fentanyl 1μg/kg/h (n =191). Infusion rates were subsequently adjusted to achieve a RASS score between -2 and +1. The primary endpoint was the percentage of time spent in the RASS range -2 to +1 without the use of an alternative sedative; secondary endpoints included level of analgesia, adverse events (AEs), length of stay and mechanical ventilation, and cost of sedation. Results: In total, 73.5% of patients in the ketamine group vs. 71.3% in the midazolam group were within the target RASS range, a difference of 2.2% [95% CI: -3.2% to 7.5%]; p = 0.18. The most frequently observed AEs in the ketamine group were hypersalivation (21.2% vs. 2.3%; p<0.001), psychodysleptic phenomena (19.8% vs. 2.6%;p<0.001) and hallucinations (9.42% vs. 1.04%; p<0.001). Delirium was the only AE more frequent in the Midazolam group than in the Ketamine group (23.5% vs 43.4%; p < 0.0001). However, the risk of arterial hypertension (7.3% vs 4.2%; p = 0.188), diarrhoea (0% vs 5%; p = 0.05) and self-extubation (3.1% vs 4.2%; p = 0.452) did not differ between the 2 groups. The length of stay in intensive care between the 2 groups was 6.3 ± 1.6 days vs 7.3 ± 1.7 days (p < 0.001) and that of mechanical ventilation 4.1 ± 0.94 days vs 4.84 ± 0.85 days (p < 0.001). The daily cost of sedative treatment was lower with ketamine than with midazolam ($32.4 ± 0.8 vs $43 ± 6.3; p<0.001). Conclusion: In this study, the efficacy of ketamine was not inferior to that of the midazolam + fentanyl combination, but its safety was poorer. Its low cost is a real advantage in our context.

ANALISIS PERBANDINGAN PENGUNGKAPAN ISLAMIC SOCIAL REPORTING (ISR) ANTARA BANK UMUM SYARIAH DENGAN UNIT USAHA SYARIAH
Authors: Mukhti Eriko Chiesa , Putra Purnama
Published: September 2024

This study aims to analyze the comparative disclosure of Islamic Social Reporting (ISR) between Islamic Commercial Banks (BUS) and Islamic Business Units (UUS). The research employs a descriptive quantitative method, with a sample of 7 Islamic Commercial Banks and 8 Islamic Business Units from 2018 to 2022. The results show a dominance of the employee theme, accounting for 26% for BUS and 29% for UUS. Community disclosure reaches 19% for both. The themes of products, services, and corporate governance range from 16-20%, while the lowest themes are financing and investment for BUS at 8% and the environment for UUS at 9%. BUS tends to disclose corporate social and environmental responsibilities more in-depth, while UUS focuses more on Sharia compliance and profit achievement. The difference in organizational structure explains the influence of company size on ISR in BUS, which is not significant in the more straightforward structure of UUS. Different social responsibility objectives and policies between BUS (focused on Sharia concepts) and UUS (following parent company policies) also play a role. The differing perspectives of the community at the locations of BUS and UUS can influence factors in social responsibility decision-making. This study highlights the complexity of ISR in the context of Islamic banking and provides insights into the development of policies and practices of social responsibility in this sector. It contributes to the literature on ISR disclosure in the Islamic banking sector and can serve as a reference for banks and Islamic business units to enhance their ISR disclosures.

Published: September 2024

Background: Cardiac valve calcifications (CVC) are common among patients on haemodialysis (HD). The valves most commonly involved are mitral and secondarily aortic valves. In Libya, there is a lack of research in this field. This is the author’s motivation to conduct this study, which has a significant impact on the health status of patients on HD.

Objective: To identify aortic valve calcifications (AVC), prevalence of aortic stenosis (AS) in patients on HD, and to determine clinical aspects and risk factors that may lead to the development of AS.

Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between May–November 2023 of adult patients on chronic HD who had received haemodialysis for more than 1 year. Patients with previous cardiac surgery, a history of endocarditis, or severe anaemia (haemoglobin <7.5 mg/dL) were excluded. A sample of 48 patients were enrolled in the study, with all patients undergoing clinical, biochemical, and a trans-thoracic echocardiographic evaluation.

Results: Patients were aged 31–60 years ±13.2 standard deviation. AS had a prevalence of 6.3%, mitral regurgitation had a prevalence of 33.3%, and CVC was detected in 60.4% of patients on chronic HD, with AVC seen in 52.1% and mitral valve calcification seen in 25%. Patients with AVC were more often females (58.6%). Diabetes was seen in 64.6% of cases, and autosomal polycystic kidney disease was seen in 25%. The authors found that dyspnoea was the most common symptom (66.7%), followed by palpitations (35.4%) and asymptomatic patients (27.1%). Clinically detected AS was observed in three individuals (6.3%). Surprisingly, patients did not exhibit significant differences in age, duration of dialysis, or comorbidities. However, hyperphosphatemia was detected in 56.25% of patients, and hyperparathyroidism was recorded in 64.50%.

Conclusion: The study has shown that aortic stenosis is the second most common valvular lesion in patients on chronic HD, preceded by mitral valve regurgitation. However, asymptomatic AVC has the highest prevalence among patients on chronic HD. Hyperphosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism are major risk factors that enhance the calcification of cardiac valves.

Value of the Research: Though it is a snapshot study, it addresses an important comorbidity in patients on chronic HD. Namely, prevalence of aortic stenosis, CVCs, and associated risk factors, which had been reported in many regional and global nephrology literature, but the national Libyan literature still lacks such chronic HD patients’ data.

Aim: This study was conducted to determine nursing students’ levels of mindfulness and cultural sensitivity and to reveal the correlation between mindfulness and cultural sensitivity.
Material and Methods: Descriptive and correlational research method was used. Data were collected online from nursing students at a state university in Ankara between December 5, 2022, and January 5, 2023. The online survey comprised three sections: student information form, Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire—Short Form, and Intercultural Sensitivity Scale. The questionnaire was sent to the students through email. The final sample consisted of 318 students who agreed to participate in the study and filled out the questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS v.23 for Windows.
Results: The mean total scores for the Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire—Short Form and the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale were 66.41 ± 6.58 and 93.08 ± 7.01, respectively. Additonally, statistical analyses revealed a moderately significant positive correlation between mindfulness and intercultural sensitivity among nursing students.
Conclusion: The study findings and the reviewed literature indicate that if nursing faculties and educators wish to develop strategies to promote cultural sensitivity, it would be beneficial to integrate mindfulness training into the nursing curriculum both before and after graduation.
Paradigm Lost? Exploring Earth Jurisprudence in Bolivia
Authors: Kovalik Cristina Teresa
Published: September 2024

Earth jurisprudence stands out as a state-level approach to sustainability due to its potential to transform perspectives on nature at both the national and individual levels by establishing legal rights to nature to which the state is held accountable. Bolivia's progressive embrace of Earth jurisprudence, as demonstrated through the recognition of Mother Earth and Her rights in its 2009 constitution and national legislation (such as the Ley de Derechos de la Madre Tierra), offers a compelling case study for evaluating the impact and efficacy of this approach. This article delves into the historical, political, and social contexts of Bolivia to provide a deeper understanding of the application and effectiveness of Earth jurisprudence. Through original interviews with Bolivian activists, this research finds that Earth jurisprudence has had limited to no discernible influence on the effectiveness of environmental policy and protection in Bolivia. This research attributes this lack of impact to several factors, such as a weak democratic system, an economic dependence on extractive industries, a fragmentation of social movements, and a lack of international accountability.
The problem of proving the use and non-use of a trademark arises in the context of disputes on revocation of a Ukrainian trademark certificate
Authors: Smorodyna Alla
Published: September 2024

The article contains a practical analysis of the challenges faced by parties in Ukrainiancourt when proving the use or non-use of a trademark in a dispute on the revocation (earlytermination) of the Ukrainian trademark certificate. From the theoretical and practical pointof view, the problem arises due to the absence of a direct legal provision and well-establishedcourt practice regarding the sufficient scope and manners of a trademark use, when each ofthe parties must prove the opposite facts before the court — use and non-use of the trademarkin question. Thus, the essence of such litigation revolves around the plaintiff’s need to provethe non-use and the defendant’s need to prove the use of the trademark in question. In general,the following questions arise: Is the trademark certificate owner (the defendant) obliged touse the trademark to label goods (proving its real, genuine use) for each good under the Niceclassification? Additionally, how many of the manners of using the trademark, as listed inlaw, are sufficient to confirm real (genuine) use? These questions arise in every court case,since this is not directly regulated in the laws of Ukraine. Consequently, the parties oftenrefer to Article 198 of the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine regarding«genuine use» as opposed to «formal/symbolic use» of the trademark.In a result of conducted research and made analysis, it appears that the subject of proof insuch cases is the defendant’s (or licensee’s) use (or non-use) of the trademark for eachgood/service listed in the trademark certificate, and the use must be demonstrated in at leastone of the manners listed in Art. 16(4) of the Law of Ukraine «On Protection of Rights toMarks for Goods and Services» dated 15.12.1993 No.3689-XII. Therefore, a proper and admissibleevidence of trademark use may include presenting the court with the labeled good, aswell as any documents, writings, papers, which demonstrate use of a trademark in, at least,one manner per each good/service for which a trademark is registered. Article contains withextracts from the numerous court decisions to provide for examples of written documents,submitted by parties in alike cases, as evidence of trademark use (non-use). Theoretical conclusionsand practical recommendations are summarized based on analysed court decisions.

However, sometimes there are prospective brides who ask or decide how much dowry should be given to them. Which can create difficulties for the groom-to-be. Unlike the Shafi'i school of thought, the Hanafi school of thought also has its own opinion. This study uses a qualitative method with a type of literature. While data collection techniques by reviewing, researching, understanding and analyzing literature, documents, which are then analyzed using comparative methods to draw valid conclusions. the conclusion shows that in the Shafi'i and Hanafi schools of thought, any item or object that may be used as a medium of exchange, whether in the form of goods or benefits, may also be used as a dowry or dowry. According to the Shafi'i school of thought, there is no definite stipulation on how much or how little the dowry is, but the sunnah is a minimum of 10 dirhams and a maximum of 500 dirhams. Meanwhile, according to Imam Hanafi, the minimum dowry is the same as the amount of stolen property that the thief must cut off his hand, which is 10 dirhams or 1 dinar. Meanwhile, the position of a woman in determining the dowry is a woman's right that must be paid by a man as proof of the seriousness of her love and affection.
La transición hacia el vehículo eléctrico: cambios y dimensiones clave
Authors: Gracia Santos Manuel , Paz Antolín María José , Rísquez Ramos Mario
Published: September 2024

La transición al vehículo eléctrico supone un cambio disruptivo, que va a producir transformaciones significativas en múltiples dimensiones asociadas a las cadenas globales de producción de la industria automotriz. El objetivo de este artículo es identificar las dimensiones y los mecanismos fundamentales que pueden actuar de dinamizadores o, por el contrario, limitar este proceso de transición al vehículo eléctrico. Las principales dimensiones identificadas son: 1) Demanda y financiación, 2) Innovación y desarrollo tecnológico, 3) Instituciones y políticas públicas y 4) crisis climática y disponibilidad de recursos.
El surgimiento de la batería como componente estratégico del vehículo eléctrico supone un cambio disruptivo en la composición del vehículo que introduce un conflicto de liderazgo entre los fabricantes tradicionales del sector y nuevas empresas proveedoras. Además, lo posición avanzada de empresas asiáticas implica un cambio en la geografía productiva del sector que puede diluir su grado de regionalización tradicional. El aumento de medidas proteccionistas -arancelarias y no arancelarias- no son sino la expresión política de esta pugna por la jerarquía en la transición, que afectará al tejido productivo y al nivel de empleo. Todo ello plantea desafíos a las políticas públicas, tanto en organismos de gobernanza nacionales como supranacionales, que pueden dinamizar u obstaculizar la transición.

Published: September 2024

This paper explores the process of increasing institutionalization of the social economy, focusing on its critical role in addressing global challenges, especially during crises. By examining mainstream international documents, the study identifies challenges confronting the social economy and spotlights Spain as a model for effective institutionalization practices in terms of recognition, regulation, institutional support, policies and programs and external institutional leadership. Two distinct forms of institutionalization are distinguished: socio-cognitive and political. Spain's leadership is noteworthy for integrating these forms, translating conceptual ideals into tangible policies.
