Published: October 2024

Woodland creation is crucial for nature recovery and achieving net-zero
goals. Although habitat creation to improve connectivity is assumed to
benefit biodiversity, this has not been extensively quantified across
multiple taxa and landscapes. Focusing on the UK, where woodland cover
is low (13%), we analysed species occurrence records from citizen
science for over 800 broadleaf woodland-associated invertebrate species
from 15 taxa in relation to woodland cover and connectivity. Overall, we
found that increased connectivity positively impacts the occurrence of
these woodland-associated species (effect of connectivity across
species, when accounting for the positive effect of woodland cover =
0.122). The benefits of connectivity varied considerably among these
taxa: 49% of species showed a significant positive effect, while for
7% it was significantly negative. Our findings emphasise the
biodiversity gains from increasing woodland cover and connectivity and
highlight the importance of spatial targeting and landscape context in
restoration efforts.
Public Private Partnership and Financial Implication to Government: A Case Study from Malaysia
Authors: Che Abdul Amir Faisal , Sarif Suhaimi Mhd , Nik Mat Nik Hziman
Published: October 2024

The implementation of infrastructure projects through the Public Private Partnership (PPP) that involve investments from the private sector has greatly benefited the country. Apart from being an alternative to conventional public infrastructure projects, PPP is also said to be a more efficient method as the risk of project implementation is transferred to the private partner. Even with these advantages, it cannot escape criticism, especially the implementation of PPP projects which involve financial implications to the government. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the Malaysian government's experience in the implementation of PPP projects especially regarding its financial implication issue and how the Malaysian government addresses the issue. A total of 29 officers from several government agencies were interviewed. The interview transcripts were analyzed using ATLAS. Ti application. Apart from contributing a theory regarding PPP, the results of this study have provided new knowledge on PPP, especially Malaysia's experience in dealing with financial commitment issues arising from the implementation of PPP projects. Although the context of development in other countries may differ, this Malaysian experience can be used as an example for PPP practitioners in planning PPP projects elsewhere.
Optimization of Warehouse Operations for Upstream Service Companies in the Oil & Gas Industry: A Case Study of XYZ Company
Authors: Daud Mohd Radzi Mohd , Zulfakar Mohd Hafiz
Published: October 2024

The oil and gas (O&G) sector drives various parts of Malaysia's economy and accounts for 19% of government revenue in 2021. The volatility of oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic problem in recent years has taught O&G enterprises, especially upstream players, to focus on business needs and employ cost optimization techniques to compete and survive uncertain circumstances. This study seeks to analyze and describe the warehouse operations setup of an onshore supply base service organization that manages and maintains offshore O&G facilities. This study examines space utilization variables from several supply chain perspectives, particularly operations performance. Semi-structured interviews, site observations, and documentation review are used to collect data for the single-case study. The study findings suggest the organization under study has a basic warehouse setup with lean operations staff to complete business functions. In general, the warehouse arrangement for the organization under investigation is comparable to a distribution center, where 70% of warehouse activities comprise, material receiving, handling, and distribution (loading) to several offshore locations. Findings also showed that two factors, namely: material handling flow and movement, and inventory movement affect warehouse space utilization. The volume of material handled by the warehouse based on business demand, as well as the seasonal trend from offshore activities contribute to the frequency of material loading and impact the material throughput and transit time, which were found to have an impact on space utilization too.
Influence of Industrial Relations with Ukhuwwah (brotherhood), ‘Adl (justice) and Ihsan (benevolence) among Islamic Universities
Authors: Sarif Suhaimi Mhd , Syed Ahmad Sharifah Fazirah , Zainudin Dolhadi , Ismail Yusof , Yayan Firmansah Yayan Firmansah
Published: October 2024

The existence of industrial relations with the industrialization drivers has been argued with the persistent competition among different entities, including workers, capitalists, bureaucrats, and authorities, to reduce operating costs while maximizing financial profits. While industrial relations have been relevant through the human resource management of organizations, from the perspectives of Islam, three core values, ukhuwwah (brotherhood), ‘adl (justice), and Ihsan (benevolence) are essential in establishing a harmonious and ethical relationship between employers and employees, which serves as a solid foundation for creating a positive work environment. This study used the grounded theory method through focused group discussion to explore the integration of Islamic values into the industrial relations of Islamic universities. It focuses on insights from participants who emphasized the significance of promoting positive human relationships, incorporating Islamic teachings, and maintaining a balance between procedural work and community-building activities. The study's findings suggest that incorporating these principles can establish a cohesive and morally upright work environment that is advantageous for both employees and organizations. Suggestions for the industrial relations unit, top management, board of governors, and the government involve cultivating strong unity through team-building, maintaining fairness with clear and open policies, and promoting excellence by supporting professional growth and empathetic work conditions.

Authors: Gokalp Hatice , Kaan Erdem Murat
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Third molars (M3) remaining impacted in Class II malocclusion characterised with sagittal mandibular deficiency is a high probability. The null hypothesis of this study is that mesioangular M3s changes position through the eruption way in Class II malocclusion treatment requiring moderate anchorage with four first premolars extraction. The aim of this study is to reconsider the decision to surgically extract impacted third molars in four premolars extraction treatment of Class II malocclusion.
Material and Methods: The materials consisted of the pre-treatment and post-treatment lateral cephalograms and orthopantomographs of 30 individuals with skeletal and dental Class II malocclusion with a mean chronological age of 13.48 years, who were treated by the same clinician (H.G.) with four first premolar extractions via the straight wire technique at the Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Orthodontics, Ankara, Turkey. The sagittal position of the upper and lower incisors and molars, M3 position and M3 space were evaluated with the paired-t test; the relationship between the sagittal position of the upper and lower incisors and molars and the change in M3 position were evaluated with correlation analysis. 
Results: The study found the retroclination and mesial movement of the upper incisors and molars, and an increase in the M3 space by the fixed orthodontic treatment. An insignificant steepening of both the upper right M3 position and the lower right M3 position was found. A statistically significant increase in the lower right and left side M3 spaces was found. Positive correlations between lower right M3 angulation and the sagittal position of the lower incisors and first molars were found.
Conclusion: Improvement in the mesioangulation of the M3s and an increase in the M3 space were achieved in this study. Based on the findings, it is useful to review the decision for prophylactic surgical extraction of the M3s before orthodontic treatment in such cases, taking into account the risks of postoperative complications.

Feministisch lesen
Authors: Kauer Katja
Published: October 2024

Literatur, nicht nur die klassische, sondern sehr augenscheinlich auch die der Gegenwart, zeichnet ein buntes Bild von Geschlecht, das mit den herkömmlichen, patriarchalisch geprägten ,Lektürebrillen' nicht richtig erfasst werden kann. Obwohl die Gender Studies im akademischen Diskurs inzwischen eine wichtige Rolle spielen, hinkt eine praktisch orientierte Genderanalyse dem theoretischen Diskurs hinterher. Dieses Studienbuch zeigt anschaulich, wie hilfreich Gender Studies für die literaturwissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit einzelnen Texten sein können, und nimmt Fragen in den Blick, die die Literatur in Bezug auf geschlechtlich basierte Anerkennungsprozesse stellt. Im Zentrum stehen praktische Lektüretools, die an konkreten gegenwartskulturellen Textbeispielen vorgestellt werden. Sie machen Bedeutungsebenen der Texte sichtbar, die sonst verborgen bleiben, und helfen, scheinbare Aporien und Widersprüche in der Figurierung zu erklären. Das Buch ist die erste Monografie im germanistischen Bereich, die diese Art von Lektüretools entwickelt.

Competitive behavior domination: experimental study
Authors: Karpov Albert L.
Published: October 2024

The article presents an experiment that explores human behavior in terms of two characteristics: (1) the choice between cooperative, competitive and altruistic strategies; (2) the choice between open and close information for another person with whom there is a conflict of interest. In this experiment, the task was to determine how the choice of participants changes when moving from an advance to an immediate choice, and also as they move from a calm to an emotional state. Participants made an advance choice by answering the questions of the questionnaire, and they made an immediate choice in the process of participation in the auction. The results of the experiment showed that the majority of people who make an advance choice are more likely to choose cooperative behavior, rationally reasoning and understanding that such behavior provides the greatest benefits. In a state of immediate choice and in an emotionally excited state, behavior changes dramatically and most participants choose competitive behavior. After the end of the auction and returning to the advance choice, they again return to the cooperative strategy of behavior. Such dynamics gives grounds to assume that in the mind of a person there is a dominant of competitive behavior: a focus of excitation in the nervous system, associated with the need for quick decision-making, generates a readiness for competition while simultaneously inhibiting cooperative behavior. The experiment also shows that there is a direct relationship between the choice of competitive behavior and the desire to hide and manipulate information. And the disclosure of information can be either forced, when the participant provides key information in order to show that he has nowhere to give way in the auction, or voluntary, when the participant provides key information in order to send a trusting signal to the other human in the negotiations.
Strategic planning of economic development of depressied regions of Russia
Authors: Busheneva Yulia I.
Published: October 2024

The article discusses issues of identification and typologization of depressed regions, as well as methodological foundations for planning the strategic development of these territories. It is indicated that the social and economic development of the state largely depends on the degree of equalization of the economic development of individual regions. In this regard, the task of the federal state policy is to adjust the development of individual territories. It is stated that in order to recognize a region as depressed, it is necessary to have two interrelated, but not always correlating groups of indicators in the regions: a consistently low quality of life and a decline in economic development. Based on the ratings formed by the RIA Rating agency on the quality of life of the population and the social and economic development of territories, there were identified groups of depressed regions: truly depressed (11 regions of Russia); depressed regions that periodically demonstrate an improvement in the social and economic situation (2 regions); depressed regions that periodically demonstrating an improvement in the quality of life (1 region); regions with an average level of depression (4 regions). It is stated that in order to bring depressed regions out of the crisis situation, fundamentally different approaches to strategic development planning are needed in comparison with prosperous regions. Thus, the following parameters should be observed in the strategic plans of the regions: goal of overcoming the depressive state and reducing the negative manifestations of the depressive state of the region; taking into account and expanding external support for the development of the region (federal support and investment); a forced development strategy instead of an inertial one; presence of an anti-crisis component; compliance with the priority of the development of the real sector of the economy. The article describes the characteristics of the "successful" strategy of the depressed region (the Strategy of the Republic of Tyva) and the strategy that requires improvement (the Strategy of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic).

Authors: Serbina Natalia V. , Chudinovskikh Marina V.
Published: October 2024

The article evaluates the formation of supra-professional competencies of first-year students of economic specialties at a higher educational institution. The study was conducted on the basis of the Ural State Economic University on the platform of the ANO "Russia is a country of opportunities". A total of 554 first-year students aged 17 to 23 years old, living in Yekaterinburg and the Sverdlovsk region, took part in the testing. The results are translated into a three-level scale - initial, intermediate and high levels of manifestation of competencies. The results of the study showed that the most developed competencies of the first-year students were "customer orientation", "partnership" and "emotional intelligence". The most problematic competencies with the initial level of manifestation were "leadership", "information analysis" and "passive vocabulary". The test results are compared with the requests of employers, as well as the Federal State Educational Standard in the direction of "Economics". Based on the results of the study, the authors have formed recommendations aimed at improving the training of students in the direction of "Economics".
Territorial tourist associations as an effective form of regulating tourist flows
Authors: Levchenko Tatyana P.
Published: October 2024

The article considers theoretical and practical recommendations on the development of tourist territorial structures as the most important forms of spatial development of tourism and regulation of tourist flows, the effectiveness of which is enhanced in the conditions of modern transformations and global challenges. The theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of territorial associations in tourist regions, which have a direct impact on the territorial features of the development of domestic tourism and the regulation of tourist flows in order to ensure sustainable and balanced development of territorial systems, the relevance of which is most significantly manifested in modern conditions, are studied. However, an unsystematic, and often uncontrolled change in this demand, including in a positive direction, can cause serious damage to the stability of the territorial system, the appearance of imbalances in relation to the load on the potential of the territory. The result was the formation of the author's approach to the development of a methodological apparatus for the formation and development of a territorial tourist association in a new reality, the most important tool of which is a system for monitoring the effectiveness of regulating tourist flows, which allows you to constantly monitor the degree of impact of the tourism sector on natural resources and cultural and historical objects of tourist regions, identify and analyze trends in the development of tourism territories, develop and implement an action program, aimed at leveling negative factors in the development of tourism. The concept of an organizational mechanism for the formation and development of a territorial tourist association has been developed, which includes as an important block a monitoring system for regulating tourist flows. The results obtained can be used by public authorities carrying out their activities in the field of tourism development in the development of concepts of spatial development of regions.
Attractiveness of flexible and digital forms of employment for the Digital generation
Authors: Tonkikh Natalia V. , Babintseva Alina V. , Dzhuma Vladimir I. , Markova Tatiana L.
Published: October 2024

Digitalization and flexibilization of employment is the main direction of labor market transformation. The study aims to assess the extent of the spread and attractiveness of flexible and digital forms of employment. The key objective is to conduct a comparative analysis of employment formats in the groups of representatives of X, Y, and Z generations. The empirical base is formed on the basis of a regional sociological survey. The object of the study is the able-bodied population of the Sverdlovsk region with work experience of at least three months during the previous year at the time of the survey. The results showed a high prevalence of flexible working hours. 18.7% of respondents independently regulate the time of start, breaks and end of work at their main job, and 60.8% at an additional job. The level of such employment is 1.9 times more common among representatives of the digital generation. The frequency of work in digital forms of employment is also higher among representatives of the digital generation. Working in the flexible segment of employment on the grounds of "flexible working hours" increases the probability of job satisfaction by 25.4%; working in remote and hybrid forms - by 24.3%. The heterogeneity of the flexible employment segment in terms of well-being was revealed. Those working in a non-digital flexible format show low job satisfaction scores. It is proposed to distinguish two segments: non-digital and digital, which combines digital flexible employment and digital flexible self-employment. Flexible digital forms of employment are the most attractive for the digital generation. The introduction of such practices of organizing social and labor relations in the activities of Russian companies can be considered as a tool for attracting and retaining employees of the digital generation, allowing to ensure the competitiveness of organizations.
Level of social security expenditures and economic growth rate based on econometric regression modelling: New evidence from OECD countries
Authors: Smykova Madina , Dorofeev Mikhail , Yousif N. B. A. , Stepanova Diana , Mikhaylov Alexey
Published: October 2024

This research article examines the relationship between the level of social welfare expenditure and economic growth rates, based on unbalanced panel data from 38 OECD countries covering the period from 1985 to 2022. Four hypotheses are formulated regarding the impact of social expenditure on economic growth rates. Through multiple iterations of regression model building, employing various combinations of dependent and independent variables, and conducting tests for stationarity and causality, compelling empirical evidence was obtained on the negative influence of social welfare spending on economic growth rates. The study takes into account both government and non-governmental expenditures on social welfare, a novelty in this field. This approach allows for a detailed examination of the effects of different components on economic growth and provides a more comprehensive understanding of the relationships. The findings indicate that countries with high levels of social welfare spending experience a slowdown in economic growth rates. This is associated with increasing demands on social security systems, their growing inclusivity, and the escalating required levels of financing, which are increasingly covered by debt sources. The research highlights the need to strike a balance between social expenditures and economic growth rates and proposes a set of measures to ensure economic growth outpaces the indexing of social expenditures. The abstract underscores the relevance of the study in light of the widespread recognition of the necessity to combat inequality, poverty, and destitution, and calls on OECD countries’ governments to pay increased attention to social policy in order to achieve sustainable and balanced economic growth.

Published: October 2024

The subject of traditional institutions cannot be undermined in the project of sustainable leadership and good governance in Nigeria given the locus and crucial role of the institution in the past and modern Nigeria. It is incontrovertible that traditional and aboriginal values are held highly with reverence and respect in virtually all parts of Nigeria. To discountenance their relevance will be too costly in any leadership-cum-governance discourse. Towns, villages and cities were duly recognized and protected as the harbingers of culture, mores, norms and values. The contemporary government structure in Nigeria duly recognizes the importance of traditional institutions by having a Commission for Local Government (LG) and Chieftaincy Affairs at all State levels. Moreover, 5% of allocations to LGs go statutorily to the tradition institution in the State. Hitherto, the recklessness and abuse of the native authority system of local government administration in the 1950s–60s had led to the moderation and reforms of the system, which has continued to affect traditional institutions to date. To this end, the paper argues that traditional institutions hold so much values and cohesive practices as well as socially integrative potentials for nation-building so much that the State can leverage on them for sustainable leadership and overall good governance. The methodology adopted for collecting data for this study is descriptive research method, which relies on primary direct observation (eye-witness) account and relevant secondary materials such as texts, journal articles, official documents and internet materials. The data collected were analyzed and presented using thematic analysis and tables. National and international data already analyzed were found essential to drive home the argument of this study. The outcome of the paper provides useful information on how traditional institutions serve as a veritable platform for sustainable leadership and good governance in Nigeria. The paper concluded that traditional institutions, with its rich culture, values and practices, possess sufficient merits to propel the country towards sustainable leadership that would concomitantly induce economic, technological and political growth in Nigeria.
Impact of job meaningfulness on employee retention: Antecedent and outcome of person-organization fit and person job fit
Authors: Basher Fariha , Rahman Benazir , Hossain Muhammad Muazzem , Islam Md. Aminul
Published: October 2024

Employee retention promotes positivity in an organization and improves employers’ brand value. As the human resource department operates with the objective of improving employees’ contribution towards the organization, meaningful work is an important topic in the core areas of human resource development (HRD), such as employee involvement, motivation, and personal development. Not only salary, benefits, working environment, and status but also the factors that determine whether you enjoy going to work every day are whether you believe that your work makes a meaningful contribution. In HRD, meaningful work comes to the forefront through a connection with a high level of commitment. Thus, this study aims to establish the relationship between meaningful and purposeful jobs affecting employee retention and the mediating factors of person organization fit (POF) and person job fit (PJF). A cross-sectional study involving a survey methodology was used to collect data from 150 white-collar employees working in the IT, banking, textile, and multinational companies in Bangladesh. The results indicate that job meaningfulness has a positive relationship with employee retention (p-value = 0.031) and both the mediating factors of PJF (p-value = 0.040) and POF (p-value = 0.028). The results also indicate that while POF positively influences employee retention (p-value = 0.019), PJF has no significant influence on employee retention (p-value = 0.164). Thus, promoting employee job meaningfulness and purpose in the workplace may represent an opportunity for organizations to improve employee engagement and retention.

This bibliometric review evaluates the research progress and knowledge structure regarding the impact of supporting facilities on halal tourism development. Using the Scopus database and bibliometric analysis with the “bibliometrix” package in R, the study covers the period from 2016 to 2023. The search, employing keywords like “halal tourism,” “facilities,” “infrastructure,” and “local support,” identified 26 relevant publications. The findings highlight a limited body of research, with the Journal of Islamic Marketing being the most active publisher in this area, contributing six articles. Indonesia emerges as a leading contributor to halal tourism research, driven by its significant Muslim population and the economic potential of this niche market. Key facilities, such as mosques, musholla, and high-quality halal food options, are identified as crucial factors influencing Muslim travelers’ destination choices. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current research landscape on supporting facilities in halal tourism and highlights opportunities for future investigation to further enrich the field.
Health labor force exodus: A systematic review of drivers influencing nurses’ migration intentions from source countries
Authors: Amofa-Adade Esther , Koltai Judit Petra
Published: October 2024

The global shortage of nurses has resulted in the demand for their services across different jurisdictions causing migration from developing to developed regions. This study aimed to review the literature on drivers of nurses’ migration intentions from source countries and offer future research directions. A search strategy was applied to ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Scopus academic databases to find literature. The search was limited to peer-reviewed, empirical studies published in English from 2013–2023 resulting in 841 papers. The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to conduct a systematic review of 35 studies after thorough inclusion and exclusion criteria. In addition, the VOSviewer software was utilized to map network visualization of keywords, geographic and author cooperation for bibliometric understanding. The findings revealed various socio-economic, organizational, and national factors driving nurses’ migration intentions. However, limited studies have been conducted on family income, organizational culture, leadership style, infrastructure development, social benefits, emergency service delivery, specialized training, and bilateral agreements as potential drivers for informing nurses’ migration intentions. Moreover, a few studies were examined from a theoretical perspective, mainly the push and pull theory of migration. This paper contributes to the health human resources literature and shows the need for future studies to consider the gaps identified in the management and policy direction of nurse labor migration.
A study of the doctoral preparatory behaviour of female teachers in independent colleges in China: The moderating role of perceived risk
Authors: Yu Yanhui , Chang Yuan-cheng
Published: October 2024

This study is based on the theory of planned behaviour, and its aim is to understand the impact of doctoral pursuit intention on the doctoral preparatory behaviour of female teachers in independent colleges in China, as well as to determine the moderating effect of perceived risk between doctoral pursuit intention and doctoral preparatory behaviour. The participants in the study were female teachers from independent colleges in China, who were recruited between February and March 2024 based on convenience sampling. 776 valid questionnaires were obtained, and the data were analyzed using a hierarchical regression method. According to the results, a doctoral pursuit intention has a significant and positive predictive effect on doctoral preparatory behaviour, while the perceived risk has a significant and negative moderating effect between doctoral pursuit intention and doctoral preparatory behaviour. This indicates that female teachers with high doctoral pursuit intention more actively prepare to pursue a doctoral degree when the perceived risk is low, whereas the doctoral preparatory behaviour of those with high perceived risk shows a limited increase as their doctoral pursuit intention increases. Therefore, female teachers’ pursuit of a doctoral degree should be supported on an individual basis and analysed within the broader context of the transformation of independent colleges.
A convolutional neural network machine learning based navigation of underwater vehicles under limited communication
Authors: Sahoo Sarada Prasanna , Pati Bibhuti Bhusan , Das Bikramaditya
Published: October 2024

This paper proposes navigation of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) by employing machine learning approach for wide area surveys in underwater environment. Wide area survey in underwater environment is affected by low data rate.We consider two AUVs moving in formation through clustering followed by selection of optimal path that is affected by low data rate and limited acoustical underwater communication. A state compression approach using machine learning based acoustical localization and communication (ML-ALOC) is proposed to overcome the low data rate issue in which AUV states are approximated by Hierarchical clustering followed by an optimal selection approach using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The performance of the proposed state compression algorithm is compared with particle state compression algorithm based on K-Means clustering at each iteration followed by Akaike information criterion (AIC) pursuing extensive simulations, in which two AUVs navigate through trajectory. It is observed from the simulations that the proposed ML-ALOC system provides better estimates when compared with acoustical localization and communication (ALOC) system using particle clustering for state compression scheme.

This paper was focused on the anatomy of the brachial plexus of the caracal (Caracal caracal). This study identified the characteristics of this species and determined its similarity to other representatives of the Felidae. During the study, have recognized the following nerves: brachiocephalic (n. brachiocephalicus), suprascapular (n. suprascapularis), subscapular (n. subscapularis), axillary (n. axillaris), cranial pectoral (n. pectorales craniales), caudal pectoral (n. pectorales caudales), lateral thoracic (n. thoracicus lateralis), long thoracic (n. thoracicus longus), thoracodorsal (n. thoracodorsalis), radial (n. radialis), median (n. medianus) and ulnar (n. ulnaris). The formation of the plexus, the number and course of the identified nerves are important for comparative and clinical reasons. The plexus of the Caracal was constructed from branches C6-T1, which is characteristic of this group of animals. The information from this description may also be of use in work on anesthesiology. Veterinarians treating wild and zoo animals will benefit from a detailed knowledge of this study.
