Analysis of a fractional order climate model due to excessive emission and accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Authors: Achimugwu Peter Urane , Kinyanjui Mathew Ngugi , Malonza David Mumo
Published: October 2023

The devastating consequences of climate change on our planet cannot be taken lightly. Greenhouse gas emissions due to the various activities of the increasing human population are solely responsible for this change. The chief and most significant of these gases is carbon dioxide. A fractional-order model of five compartments is considered. The uniqueness and existence, the positivity, and the boundedness of the model solution are established. The equilibrium points of the model are given. By formulating different Lyapunov functions, the global stability of the four equilibrium points was determined. The numerical simulation of the model was done using the Predict-Evaluate-Correct-Evaluate method of Adam-Bashforth-Moulton by considering four different orders of 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0. According to the results, excessive concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be reduced by the joint employment of mitigation measures.

Contains of Seagrass (Thalassia hemprichii) are flavonoid compounds, saponins, triterpenoids, alkaloids, steroids, and tannins. These compounds are known to have the potential as antibacterial. This study aimed to determine the inhibition of antibacterial activity and the most effective concentration inhibiting Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. The sample used in this study was seagrass leaves obtained from the Depapre District. Samples were extracted by the maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. Then, the antibacterial test was carried out using the disk diffusion method. The medium used for bacterial isolation was Nutrient Agar (NA). This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with concentrations of seagrass leaf extract 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 ppm, positive control (clindamycin), and negative control (sterile distilled water). The inhibition zone diameter was analyzed using the ANOVA test. A further test was carried out to find out the difference between the treatments of a significantly honest difference (HSD). The results showed that the inhibition zone diameter in Propionibacterium acnes ranged from 6–10 mm (medium) and 10–20 mm (strong). Based on the results, it was shown that the interaction between the concentration of Thalassia hemprichii and the type of bacteria had a significant effect (P<0.01) on the inhibition zone diameter formed.

Published: October 2023

El turismo ha cobrado vital importancia en los últimos tiempos al ser una de las actividades económicas que mayores beneficios aportan a un país, tanto en el ámbito social, económico como ambiental. Consecuentemente, los modelos de pronósticos de la demanda en el sector constituyen herramientas adecuadas que sirven de soporte en la toma de decisiones.  En este sentido, varios autores han realizado importantes aportes en el campo de la ciencia que ayudan a mejorar la gestión turística. Lo que conlleva a plantear como objetivo el análisis de las tendencias actuales de los modelos de previsión turística mediante la herramienta R bibliometrix, cubriendo 254 artículos de investigación publicados entre 2017 y 2021. Los principales resultados arrojan que los modelos para el pronóstico de la demanda turística se encuentran en una evolución constante y no existe un modelo único que funcione bien para todas las situaciones. También se puede apreciar que a causa de la pandemia de COVID-19, los modelos de pronóstico para ese año fueron inservibles; sin embargo, fue el año de más publicaciones. De igual modo, la presente investigación permitió identificar los principales países, revistas científicas y autores que abordan el estudio de la demanda turística.

THE FACTORS THAT HAVE INFLUENCED THE ADOPTION OF MALAYSIAN PRIVATE ENTITIES REPORTING STANDARDS (MPERS) FOR SMEs IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Kapizionis Emmanuel G. , Day Stephen
Published: October 2023

This study aims to explore the factors that have influenced the adoption of Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standards (MPERS) in Malaysia since 2016, to explore the costs and benefits to Malaysian SMEs of adopting the MPERS, and also to explore challenges and expectations exploring the perception of 15 accounting professionals representing SMEs in Malaysia. Findings indicate that education and professional training are influential factors in the way participants perceive the MPERS but tensions between education and training did come to the fore in the interviews. Legal and tax factors are also influential. However, participants did not discuss the role of tax or legal factors relating to the implementation of the standard in any depth. Further, findings also indicate that cultural factors play a significant role equal to external economic factors, which heavily influenced the Malaysian standard setter to adopt MPERS. Participants suggested that the initial (short-term) costs for the adoption of the standard outweigh the benefits, but that over the long term, the benefits outweighed the costs of the adoption of the MPERS. The findings also suggest that adoption increased the reliability of financial information to users while adoption of the MPERS provides confidence to foreign investors by providing a comparable accounting framework with other countries, which was seen by participants as one of the most prominent macro effects. This thesis is the first to explore factors that drove the Malaysian authorities to adopt the MPERS and contribute to the existing body of accounting literature. We argue that this study’s findings might be used as a solid basis for other similar contexts in Southeast Asia with similar cultural characteristics to Malaysia.

SCHOOL LEADERSHIP MODELS IN GREECE: PRACTICES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL LEADERS / ΜΟΝΤΕΛΑ ΣΧΟΛΙΚΗΣ ΗΓΕΣΙΑΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ: ΠΡΑΚΤΙΚΕΣ ΔΙΕΥΘΥΝΤΩΝ/ΤΡΙΩΝ ΔΗΜΟΤΙΚΗΣ ΕΚΠΑΙΔΕΥΣΗΣ
Authors: Kolosidou Sofia , Kakana Domna-Mika
Published: October 2023

One of the most critical factors associated with school effectiveness is school leadership. The purpose of our research was to study the practices of primary school principals regarding school leadership from the perspective of managerial, transformational, and instructional leadership models. The sample of the study consisted of 12 primary school principals who worked in Thessaloniki (Greece). A semi-structured interview was used as a data collection tool. Data were studied and categorized based on the method of hybrid thematic analysis. The results of the study showed that managerial model is dominant. Principals, though, developed the tendency to adopt modern models of leadership as well, the “narrow” version of instructional leadership model and the two of the four dimensions of transformational leadership model, Idealized influence and Ιndividual consideration. The conclusion is that although principals had adopted some aspects of modern leadership models, it is necessary for them to acquire knowledge and skills for the other dimensions also and to act accordingly. The Ministry of Education should design and implement training programs for principals, after conducting an investigation of training needs, in order to acquire more knowledge and skills concerning leadership and management so they can be more effective.

Ένας από τους πιο σημαντικούς παράγοντες που συνδέονται με τη σχολική αποτελεσματικότητα είναι η σχολική ηγεσία. Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν να μελετήσει τις πρακτικές διευθυντών/ντριων δημοτικής εκπαίδευσης σχετικά με τη σχολική ηγεσία υπό το πρίσμα των μοντέλων της διοικητικής, μετασχηματιστικής και καθοδηγητικής ηγεσίας. Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτέλεσαν 12 διευθυντές/ντριες δημοτικών σχολείων της Θεσσαλονίκης. Ως ερευνητικό εργαλείο αξιοποιήθηκε η ημι-δομημένη συνέντευξη και ως ερευνητική τεχνική η υβριδική θεματική ανάλυση. Από τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας προέκυψε πως το διοικητικό μοντέλο είναι κυρίαρχο στις πρακτικές των διευθυντών/ντριών, οι οποίες συνδέονται επίσης με τη «στενή» εκδοχή του καθοδηγητικού μοντέλου και τις δύο από τις τέσσερις διαστάσεις της μετασχηματιστικής ηγεσίας, την εξιδανικευμένη επιρροή και το εξατομικευμένο ενδιαφέρον. Ως συμπέρασμα προέκυψε η ανάγκη υλοποίησης επιμορφωτικών προγραμμάτων για διευθυντές/ντριες, μετά από διερεύνηση αναγκών, υπό την αιγίδα κρατικών φορέων της εκπαίδευσης, ώστε να αποκτήσουν γνώσεις και δεξιότητες και για τις υπόλοιπες διαστάσεις των σύγχρονων μοντέλων ηγεσίας και να ανταποκριθούν στις απαιτήσεις της θέσης ευθύνης που υπηρετούν.

TRANSGRESSIVE FORMS IN GAINESIAN FICTION
Authors: Tia Daniel
Published: October 2023

Anchored in black slavery, Gaines’s novel has a historical and inventive feature. On the one hand, it is characterized by its rejection of the European artistic tradition and on the other hand, by its choice for deconstructive aesthetics. On the generic level, its narrative weave suffers from a normative crisis; the norms of autobiography undergo a functional and substantial alteration, giving way to ethno-biography. Thus, the black community’s painful history is revitalized by a female voice. That narrative authority takes a step forward by making the impossible possible, reconstructing the African descents’ past, and challenging the Whites’ misrepresentation of Blacks. Symbolically, the prejudices previously held against black women are destabilized in favor of a panegyric picture, which epitomizes the latter’s determination and audacity. Female characters are illustrated as an acting force opposed to colonial ethics, questioning the colonial authority not to replace it, but to undermine it with a view to establishing a new, flexible order, which offers them a reliable way out. Through that paradigmatic renewal, black females are depicted as vital interlocutors from whom the experience of altruism, freedom, and equality takes root and helps to construct justice in American society. In the novel under consideration, the use of transgressive values exemplifies the loss of the absolutist bearings of modernism to the detriment of plurality, difference, and coexistence. A further study of the features and ideological scope of that postcolonial era characterized by the subversion of tradition seems to be advantageous. Thus, the use of deconstructive criticism as a methodological tool will contribute to digging into two points, namely subverting the naming process and challenging the colonial authority.

Historical Rethinking of Relations with the First Republic of Armenia and the United States of America: The Dilemma of Orientation and Expectations
Authors: Petrosyan Gegham
Published: October 2023

This article examines the features of relations with the First Republic of Armenia and the United States of America in the context of the dilemma of orientation and expectations of the Armenian political elite and society. The purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of the influence of interethnic conflicts on the Armenian population and political elite after the February Revolution of 1917 on the territory of the Russian Empire. The main attention is paid to identifying general and specific elements in the process of restoring independent Armenian statehood at the end of May 1918.
The scientific novelty lies in the study of transformative processes and the long break of independent Armenian statehood, the people’s and liberation struggle, as well as the geopolitical developments in the region in the context of the clash of both diplomatic and military, political and economic interests. As a result, after lengthy negotiations, on February 25, 1919, the assembly was presented with a single demand of the Armenians for recognition of the Armenian state.
The characteristic features of such decisions are highlighted and described, on the basis of which it was proposed to transfer Armenia under the guardianship of the Entente and transfer its mandate to one of the countries for at least twenty years. It is emphasized that the Armenian delegations expressed their desire to transfer the patronage (mandate) of a united, independent and free Armenia to the United States of America or the newly formed League of Nations.

Advanced wound management using Negative Pressure Therapy (NPT) has emerged as a revolutionary approach in the care of complex and chronic wounds. NPT, also known as Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), employs subatmospheric pressure to promote wound healing. This review explores the epidemiology and significance of advanced wound management, provides a theoretical framework for understanding NPT, discusses its application in different clinical scenarios, outlines potential complications, and highlights its management strategies. The evidence suggests that NPT is a valuable tool in modern wound care, but its application should be guided by a comprehensive understanding of patient needs and the wound's characteristics. Ultimately, NPT offers promising results for wound management, provided it is integrated into a holistic care approach.

Az idősebb korosztály társas aktivitásának növelése a magány és az izoláció elkerülésére - Mozgás, légzés, meditáció
Authors: Jámbor Katalin
Published: October 2023

Ha ebben a pillanatban kizárólag az elmúlt két év időszakára tekintünk vissza mindannyiunk számára tapasztalhatóvá vált a magány és az izoláció élménye. Véleményem szerint nem volt olyan ember, aki akár csak néhány pillanatra is, de nem érezte volna át. A karantén alatti időszakra jellemzővé vált a bezártság, a mindennapi ritmus megváltozása. Kevesebbet tudtunk mozogni és ritkábbá váltak a lehetőségek a különböző aktivitások végzésére. A bezártság, a korlátozott mozgáslehetőségek következtében a mozgásszervi funkciók csökkentek. A társas kapcsolatok hiánya pedig az érzelmi funkciók beszűkülését eredményezték. Ezért is tartom fontosnak, hogy a segítő szakmában dolgozók célként kitűzzék ki, az idősebb korosztály társas aktivitásának növelését a magány és az izoláció elkerülésére.

Published: October 2023

Para elaboração de propostas que possam fazer a conversão de agriculturas com indícios de sustentabilidade para agriculturas sustentáveis é imprescindível o conhecimento dos sistemas de produção desenvolvidos, identificando suas características territoriais, potencialidades e suas restrições. O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar a sustentabilidade do sistema de produção de agricultores familiares dos municípios de Vargem Grande, Chapadinha e Buriti, Estado do Maranhão. Utilizou-se a metodologia denominada Análise Diagnóstico de Sistemas Agrários que utiliza o enfoque sistêmico, a interdisciplinaridade e a participação dos beneficiários. As entrevistas foram realizadas com 68 famílias com auxílio de questionário semiestruturado. Foram descritos itinerários técnicos, níveis de produção/extração, variedades cultivadas, tipos de raças de animais, consorciamento e sucessões de cultivos. Os sistemas de produção foram analisados quanto aos aspectos de sustentabilidade ambiental, social, econômica e política de acordo com os princípios da Agroecologia. Os resultados demonstram aspectos de sustentabilidade com a diversificação e o pouco uso de insumos externos. Quanto à insustentabilidade, observou-se o uso de queimadas e a baixa produção de alimentos. Concluiu-se que os sistemas de produção das famílias apresentam importantes aspectos de sustentabilidade como a baixa dependência de insumos externos e produção com pouco uso de agrotóxicos. Em termos de insustentabilidade destaca-se a dependência de programas governamentais para promover a renda familiar. Portanto, esses sistemas de produção precisam de políticas públicas de extensão rural e de crédito para que seus agroecossistemas sejam mais sustentáveis.

Authors: MASSALHA Mohammed
Published: October 2023

The study aimed to identify the level of creative behavior prevalent in primary schools in the Northern Triangle region in Israel. The study adopted the descriptive survey approach, as this approach is more suitable for this type of studies. The study population consisted of all primary school teachers in the Northern Triangle region, who numbered (1606) male and female teachers, and the study sample consisted of (56) male and female principals who were chosen intentionally (intentional sample) and (331) male and female teachers who were chosen by simple random method. The results showed that the level of creative behavior in primary schools in the Northern Triangle region in Israel was highly significant in all domains and in the total score. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α ≤ 0.05) on the development of the creative behavior of teachers due to the different variables of job title (in favor of managers), and the educational qualification variable (in favor of postgraduate studies). The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (α ≤ 0.05) due to the variables of gender and years of experience.
Chronotopic identities of learners of Korean as a heritage language in Finland
Authors: SUN Dukkeum
Published: October 2023

The noticeable growth of the number of immigrant pupils has led to the growing needs for heritage language education in Finland. However, language studies have tended to be mainly focused on the national languages and English at regular schools. In this article, I attempt to explore the identities of the young heritage language learners based on the learners’ personal multilingualism and lived experience. Bakhtin’s concept of the chronotope, the time-space configuration manifested in the learners’ utterances, has served as a key resource for analysing the data of learners’ discourses on their language identities. Four distinctive chronotopes have been detected and implicated to frame various identities as language learners; the contemporaneous, the biographical, the social-historical chronotope and the ‘adventure time of everyday life.’ The findings show how the exploration of these chronotopes about the learners’ language repertoires and practices make visible the young learners’ playful sense-making process of constructing their identities. It has further led to an implication for language classrooms, where the learners’ agency to make sense of the identities from their own lives needs to be respected and encouraged.

The red algae, Acanthophora spicifera, are major species grown in Asia and Pacific areas, especially along the coast of southern Thailand. They have the fast growth rate that leads to an abundant supply; thus, they are currently used for wastewater treatment. Furthermore, an ethanolic extract from A. spicifera has been used as a food supplement because of its perceived antioxidant property. Therefore, this study aims to ascertain and evaluate the antioxidant activity and safety of the ethanolic extract from A. spicifera. Safety tests showed that the extract did not have cytotoxicity and genotoxicity effects at concentrations less than 100 µg/mL. In term of antioxidant activity, the DPPH and ABTS assays showed a Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) of 5.24±0.44 and 4.03±0.13 mg Trolox/g of the extract, respectively. In conclusion, A. spicifera extract is relatively safe and has a rather high efficacy in scavenging free radicals, which makes it suitable for use as food supplement and cosmetics. However, there are a number of caveats regarding its uses in terms of excessive concentrations and exposure duration to avoid causing cytotoxicity and genotoxicity.
HIGHLIGHTS

The study evaluates the antioxidant activity of spicifera extract was very strong potential.
The ethanol extract of Spicifera is safe in both of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity to cell lines.

In ‘soe much payne he coud not indure it’
Authors: Evans Jennifer
Published: October 2023

Chapter Five engages with the argument that genitourinary ailments were not important in the construction of men’s sexual selfidentities. It counters this suggestion by illustrating that vernacular literature ubiquitously described genital complaints, and urinary difficulties, as some of the most painful men could experience. The pain these patients felt shaped emotional communities that bound patients to those around them. Moreover, in contradiction to scholarship that has suggested that physicians and surgeons thought little about their patients’ pain, this chapter illustrates that medical practitioners’ practices were increasingly shaped by their patients’ pain. This occurred in line with increased attention to the mechanisms of pain in medical texts from the 1660s.
Televising Pop: New Stars and Renewed Sensibilities
Authors: Chu Yiu-Wai
Published: October 2023

This chapter traces the development of Hong Kong’s television industry in the 1980s. Free-to-air television provided a common platform for Hong Kong people to establish an imagined community in the 1970s, through which a new sensibility was introduced into society. Thanks to the challenge posed to the market leader Television Broadcasts Limited in the early 1980s, Hong Kong’s television industry ushered in another, albeit short-lived, period of new sensibilities. Although there were more commercial calculations and constraints imposed on television production in this decade, Hong Kong’s television industry continued to thrive as a star-producing machine, at least up till the latter part of the decade.
Epilogue

Although the examples discussed in the previous chapters have followed a similar rise-fall trajectory, this chapter does not intend to draw the conclusion that this applied to other forms of Hong Kong pop culture. Instead of a standard conclusion, it is being used to enunciate some more personal belongings (such as Seiko the soccer team). It informally wraps up previous discussions in relation to the statement raised at the beginning of this book: “We’ll always have Hong Kong.” By highlighting its pop and chic, this cultural memoir of the city will hopefully point toward the Hong Kong at least some Hong Kong people will always have.

Deng Xiaoping, the chief engineer of the unprecedented “one country, two systems” framework, famously promised Hong Kong people horse racing and dancing would remain unchanged after Hong Kong’s reversion to Mainland China in 1997. This chapter discusses how horse racing and dancing were used to symbolize Hong Kong’s lifestyle and the smooth transfer of sovereignty. Throughout the 1980s, the upward mobility and vigorous development of Hong Kong pop culture enabled a distinctive cosmopolitan lifestyle between the East and the West to grow and mature, and Hong Kong people came to take pride in their cultural identities.
