RESEARCH ON THE INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MBA LITERATURE SEARCH COURSE INSTRUCTION
Authors: Zhang Xiaofeng , Zhang Siqi
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the current state and challenges of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in the instruction of MBA literature search courses. The analysis identifies the low degree of technology integration, varying acceptability among faculty and students, and difficulties in teaching quality assessment as the primary issues. The low integration is attributed to insufficient technological maturity, while the differences in acceptability are due to outdated concepts and an inadequate training system. The challenges in assessing teaching quality stem from an imperfect management mechanism. The paper proposes strategies to enhance technology integration and customization, improve cognitive understanding and training levels among faculty and students, and refine the teaching quality assessment system. These strategies aim to improve the compatibility of technological tools with the educational environment, strengthen the ability of faculty and students to understand and apply new technologies, and establish an effective evaluation system to measure teaching effectiveness. Implementing these strategies can promote the application of AI in MBA literature search courses, enhancing teaching quality and the student learning experience.
FARMERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND ITS IMPACT ON GUINEA CORN PRODUCTIVITY IN NIGERIA: A CASE STUDY OF GIDAN KWANO, NIGER STATE
Authors: Mustapha Aishat Ayobami , Ebuka Nwankwor Emmanuel , Habib Dahiru Wakili
Published: February 2025

Despite efforts to enhance agricultural productivity in Nigeria, several challenges persist, including high climate variability, rising temperatures, intensified droughts, frequent diseases, insect pests, parasitic plants, and non-optimal soil conditions, all of which contribute to low crop productivity. The purpose of this study was to identify effective techniques to reduce the impact of climate variability on guinea corn productivity. The research was conducted at Gidan Kwano, situated along the Minna-Bida highway, a few kilometers from the Federal University of Technology Minna campus, Niger state. Two types of data were utilized: primary data collected through reconnaissance surveys, semi-structured and open-ended questionnaires, and individual interviews, and secondary data including rainfall, temperature, and crop yield. The findings reveal that temperature has a more significant impact on guinea corn output compared to rainfall. Among the respondents, various impacts of climate change were reported, including shifts in rainfall patterns and temperature changes. The study also found that farmers with lower levels of education are less likely to adopt effective climate change adaptation measures. The study indicates the need for targeted educational initiatives to improve farmers’ awareness and climate resilience in agricultural practices.

Published: February 2025

The Cold Desert of Leh-Ladakh is situated in the northernmost part of India and experiences extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to 30°C. This region is home to indigenous communities that have a rich traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), which has been deeply ingrained in their close relationship with the environment for centuries. TEK has enabled these communities, including the Ladakhi, Tibetan, and Changpa peoples, to adapt and thrive in the harsh and challenging landscape of the area. Their intricate understanding of the region’s ecology, climate, flora, and fauna has been passed down through oral traditions from generation to generation, playing a significant role in natural resource management and enhancing the adaptation capacity of local people to the adverse impacts of climate change. However, with the encroachment of modernization and globalization, there is a growing urgency to document and preserve their age-old practices. Unfortunately, younger generations show too little interest in the traditional practices that have sustained their communities for generations, putting the rich cultural heritage of the region at risk. This article examines the importance of TEK of local indigenous communities in Leh-Ladakh in environmental adaptation and challenges faced by them in preserving their cultural and ecological heritage. It also emphasize the need for close collaboration between local communities, government agencies, and conservation organizations to develop inclusive and effective conservation strategies.

Abstract This study explores the suicidal desire and behavior of modern humans
found in Indonesian literature. So far, research on suicidal ideation and behavior tends
to be mostly done in the realm of psychology. Unfortunately, research on suicidal
ideation and behavior from the perspective of the psychology of death is still not
widely carried out by researchers in the field of literature. In this regard, this study
raises the desire and suicidal behavior of modern humans as reflected in Indonesian
literature. The method used in this research is qualitative using data sources from
three Indonesian novels, Olenka, Rafilus, and Supernova. The data collection technique
was carried out in a documentary manner referring to the text data contained in the
novel. The data analysis technique uses the stages of identification, classification,
and exposure to research data. The results of the study show the following. First, the
novel Olenka, Rafilus, and Supernova depicts a character who narrates a suicide
committed by another person and he feels how the suicide happened. Second, suicide is
contained in the character's mind as a responsibility of human freedom. Third, suicide
appears in the flash of the character's mind. Keywords: desire, behavior, suicide,

The receptor of CSF-1 (CSF1R) encoding tyrosine kinase is essential for tissue macrophage development, and the therapeutic target for many tumors. However, it is not completely understood how CSF1R activation is regulated. Here, we identify the cellular protein TNF-α–induced protein 2 (TNFAIP2) as a unique regulator of CSF1R. CSF1R forms large aggregates in macrophages via unknown mechanisms. The inhibition or knockdown of TNFAIP2 reduced CSF1R aggregate formation and functional response of macrophages to CSF-1, which was consistent with reduced CSF1R activation after CSF-1 stimulation. When expressed in 293 cells, TNFAIP2 augmented CSF1R aggregate formation and CSF-1–induced CSF1R activation. CSF1R and TNFAIP2 bind the cellular phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). The removal of the PIP2-binding motif of CSF1R or TNFAIP2, or the depletion of cellular PIP2 reduced CSF1R aggregate formation. Moreover, TNFAIP2 altered the cellular distribution of PIP2. Because CSF-1–induced dimerization of CSF1R is critical for its activation, our findings suggest that TNFAIP2 augments CSF1R aggregate formation via PIP2, which brings CSF1R monomers close to each other and enables the efficient dimerization and activation of CSF1R in response to CSF-1.

Published: February 2025

За останні роки системи підтримки прийняття рішень стали критично важливими в сфері охорони здоров’я, надаючи допомогу працівникам медицини в прийнятті обґрунтованих рішень. У статті досліджується роль алгоритмів дерева рішення як одного з провідних методів у системах підтримки прийняття рішень, наголошуючи на їх ефективності в задачах класифікації та прогнозування. Дерева рішень мають кілька переваг, враховуючи інтуїтивну структуру, простоту інтерпретації та можливість надавати чіткі пояснення поряд із точними результатами. Також дерева рішень відзначаються здатністю видобувати значущі правила з комплексних наборів даних, що сприяє виявленню прихованих закономірностей, які можуть бути неочевидними за допомогою традиційних аналітичних методів. У статті підкреслюється універсальність дерев рішень, що робить їх особливо придатними для широкого спектра медичних застосувань, таких як пошук найбільш підходящого лікаря, встановлення діагнозу та методів лікування. Така можливість значно покращує процеси прийняття клінічних рішень, дозволяючи забезпечити більш індивідуалізовану та ефективну медичну допомогу. Оскільки охорона здоров’я дедалі більше впроваджує рішення, засновані на даних, інтеграції алгоритмів дерева рішень у системі підтримки прийняття рішень, ймовірно, принесе значні переваги, покращуючи якість медичної практики та, врешті-решт, призводячи до кращих показників здоров’я пацієнтів. У статті робиться висновок про необхідність подальшого розвитку та застосування алгоритмів дерева рішень у медичних установах, підкреслюючи їх потенціал революціонізувати прийняття медичних рішень і системи підтримки в досягненні поліпшення показників здоров’я та вибору лікаря-онколога.

Vətənpərvərlik və idman cəmiyyətin inkişafında və sağlam formalaşmasında bir-birini tamamlayan iki vacib elementdir. Vətənpərvərlik hər bir fərdin öz millətinə, mədəniyyətinə, tarixən qazandığı dəyərlərinə bağlılığını ifadə edən yüksək mənəvi hissdir. Bu hiss cəmiyyət üzvlərinin milli kimliyini dərk etməsi, öz ölkəsinin gələcəyi üçün məsuliyyət hissi daşıması və ölkəsinin inkişafına töhfə vermə arzusunu gücləndirir. Eyni zamanda, idman fərdlərin fiziki sağlamlığı ilə yanaşı, onların mənəvi inkişafında da mühüm rol oynayır. İdman yalnız şəxsi uğurlar əldə etmək üçün bir vasitə deyil, həm də cəmiyyətin birliyini möhkəmləndirən, insanları bir araya gətirən bir platformadır.
Azərbaycan xalqı tarixən milli birliyi qorumaq və gələcək nəsillərə güclü bir dövlət miras qoymaq üçün idman və vətənpərvərlik arasında güclü bir əlaqə qurmuşdur. Müxtəlif dövrlərdə idman yarışları, hərbi tədbirlər və milli bayramlar bu əlaqənin təməlini təşkil etmişdir. Müasir dövrdə isə beynəlxalq idman uğurları və milli qəhrəmanların tanıdılması vasitəsilə cəmiyyətin vətənpərvərlik ruhu daha da gücləndirilir. Gənclər arasında idmanın təşviqi və vətənpərvərliyin təbliği yalnız milli qürurun artmasına deyil, həm də sağlam, mənəvi cəhətdən güclü və vətəndaşlıq hissi yüksək olan bir cəmiyyətin yaranmasına xidmət edir.

A New Model of Mixture Distribution Using a Survival Analysis of Cancer Patients
Authors: Sakthivel M. , Pandiyan P.
Published: February 2025

In this article, specific statistical considerations are typically required in order to select the best model for fitting cancer survival data. A new two-parameter distribution known as the Mixture of Lomax and Gamma Distribution (MLGD) is proposed in this article. Because of the unique way that the Gamma and Lomax distributions are mixed, this distribution is created as a special mixture of two distributions. Statistical properties, order statistics, entropy, and reliability analysis are also derived. The maximum likelihood estimation method can be used to estimate the parameters of the distribution. Lastly, a goodness-of-fit analysis is demonstrated on a set of data on cancer survival. It is compared to the fit and shows that the gamma and Lomax mixing distributions have more flexibility than the other distributions.

Published: February 2025

In the present paper a ratio cum product type exponential class of estimators has been proposed to estimate the finite population mean of rare type or hard to reach type population. The mean square error and bias expressions of the proposed generalized class have been derived and presented up to the first order of approximation. New estimators have been developed from the proposed class using robust measures. Using simulation study and a real data application, the efficiency of the newly developed estimators from the class that is proposed have been shown. The results show that the new developed estimators are more efficient than the competing estimators presented in this paper.

A experiência relatada neste artigo foi vivenciada durante uma formação continuada em serviço de professores que ensinam Matemática nos 4º e 5º anos em uma escola pública municipal da Cidade de Natal, visando o desenvolvimento profissional dos docentes. Essa formação de professores contemplou, além da discussão sobre desenvolvimento profissional, o ensino da Estatística e o uso de tecnologia educacional digital. Para essa escrita, o recorte feito tem como objetivo analisar a contribuição de uma formação continuada em serviço implementada no ambiente escolar utilizando a Plataforma Objetos de Aprendizagem para Matemática (OBAMA). A formação aconteceu no ambiente escolar dos professores envolvidos e teve como formadores os autores. A tecnologia educacional foi utilizada tanto na elaboração de planejamentos pedagógicos, quanto na interação dos estudantes com os objetos de aprendizagem (OA), com vistas a integrar tecnologias digitais na rotina escolar e a proporcionar desenvolvimento profissional dos professores colaboradores. A experiência mostrou que houve uma maior interação por parte dos estudantes quando a tecnologia digital educacional foi acrescentada às aulas, estimulando a aprendizagem e gerando curiosidade para continuar acessando a plataforma OBAMA. Por outro lado, é necessário repensar os processos de formação continuada de professores em relação ao uso dessas tecnologias porque, apesar desses recursos estarem presentes no cotidiano dos discentes e de proporcionarem aos professores colaboradores novas possibilidades metodológicas, quando o assunto, especificamente, é prática pedagógica na escola pública, existe resistência docente e ausência de estrutura física.

Abstract
The Novel Foods Risk Assessment Data Modelling and Extraction (NORA) project, commissioned by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and implemented by EcoMole s.r.o., aimed to develop a structured database to support the risk assessment process for novel foods (NF). The project encompassed three key objectives: (1) designing a comprehensive data model for NF opinions, leveraging and extending existing frameworks like OpenFoodTox 2.0; (2) extracting and integrating data from published NF opinions into the database; and (3) creating a guideline for systematic data entry to support future use. The resulting data model successfully captured administrative, compositional, toxicological, and allergenic properties of NFs with approximately 35% of the data model adopted from OpenFoodTox 2.0 and 65% representing new or refined elements specific to NF assessment. Relevant data from 196 NF opinions published by June 2024 were extracted and integrated into the database. The database supports advanced querying, filtering, and exporting functionalities, while a user interface facilitates efficient data entry and visualisation.

La tlacuachita ignorante estaba cada día más decidida a dejar de serlo; y así, subió una noche como tantas otras a los estantes de la biblioteca y se encontró con un libro que al leer el título le pareció incomprensible pero, a la vez, atrayente: “El hombre en busca de sentido”. Volteando el libro, en la parte posterior leyó que este es uno de los grandes libros de la historia; tan sólo en el siglo XX fue uno de los 10 libros de mayor influencia en el mundo y leyó que, aunque es de Psicología, es tan sencillo y sus enseñanzas tan importantes que no es considerado un libro técnico o especializado sino un libro de lectura universal, es decir, para todos (Frankl, 1946/2021; Freire, 2021).
Al leer todo esto, inquieta y curiosa como siempre, Caribdis no dejó de plantearse, desde ese mismo momento, varias preguntas: ¿qué expone este libro que ha tenido tanta influencia?, ¿quién es el autor y por qué escribió esto?, ¿a qué se refiere cuando habla del sentido?

Human resource management has made great strides as a profession in South Africa, from its initial function as the payroll department to now being a strategic business partner and confidant to the C-suite. This profession, however, faces its fair share of challenges. In particular, the issue of ethics and lack of professionalism has become a dilemma for the profession, which, together with the absence of statutory professionalisation, has made it increasingly difficult for human resource management professionals to survive this volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment within a South African ecosystem. While there is literature confirming that human resource management is in fact a profession, in the absence of statutory professionalization it is essential to explore the experiences and opinions of human resource management professionals who do not belong to a professional body, and to compare these with the views of those who do belong to a professional body, as well as the perceptions of clients of both professionals and non-professionals. In this research the first participant group is called nonprofessional, the second is professionals, and the last are the human resource management clients, without whom this profession would not exist. The framework and analysis that was applied in this study is a four themed framework used to investigate the participants’ understanding of general human resource management, human resource management ethics and the King Reports (with specific reference to the last King IV Report), human resource management professionalism and lastly human resource management professionalisation. The theoretical and conceptual model is based on a multilayer framework from the field of ethics, the sociology of professions, specifically from Evetts’ contribution on professions, professionalism and professionalisation, and finally, the SABPP Human Resource Competency Model. The data gathered from the in-depth interviews with participants was analysed using thematic analysis which generated the findings in the study. It is argued, based on previous literature and the data emanating from this study, that in the last two decades human resource management has continued to progress as a profession. There is a relationship between the professional development of human resource management and codes of ethical practice, as statutory professionalisation and ethical practice does affect human resource managements’ professional development. Lastly, this study offers recommendations for statutory professionalisation as a strategy for ethical practice in human resource management in South Africa.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus lead to massive death counts in parts of the world, including in Indonesia. Indonesian people often use herbal medicine as a way to increase their immune system, to prevent infection, and to accelerate the healing process of COVID-19. They are used to compose herbs with several medicinal plants as ingredients.  This review was aimed to provide information about immune booster herbs in Indonesia along with how to make it, its composition, its chemical contents, and how to use it in order to obtain scientific basis in understanding the efficacy and the herbal formulation. The method was carried out by browsing the literature from 2011-2021 through Google Scholar database from September 2021 to October 2021. The keywords used were "immune booster",  “immune boosting herbs”, “jamu”, “herbal ingredient”, “formulation” using the Boolean Operators 'AND' 'OR' and ‘NOT’. The literature that met the inclusion criteria were 30 journals. From the literature review, it was known that there are 22 species of medicinal plants that are used for 37 immune booster jamus with Zingiberaceae as the majority of the family (31%). The top ten plants commonly found in the ingredients are turmeric, ginger, lemongrass, temulawak, cinnamon, red ginger, lime, lesser galangal, meniran, and centella asiatica. Based on the plant’s chemical constituents, it was found that the secondary metabolites components which could potentially boost immunity are essential oils, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and phenols. Meanwhile, the active compounds for immune booster were curcumin, gingerol, xanthorrhizol, citral, p-methoxycinnamate, and philanthine.
