The Impact of Employee Benefits on Job Satisfaction in the Sales Industry: An Analytical Study Using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory
Authors: Cui Youxue
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This study aims to explore the relationship between employee benefits and job satisfaction in the sales industry and analyze how improving employee benefit programs can affect employee job satisfaction. Through literature review and in-depth interviews with employees of sales companies of different sizes, this paper analyzed various types of employee benefits and their potential impact on employee satisfaction. The study utilized psychological and social theoretical models, such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, to construct an analytical framework. The research findings indicate that certain key elements in employee benefit programs, such as health insurance, training and development opportunities, and work-life balance policies, have a significant effect on improving sales personnel's job satisfaction. Furthermore, through a case study of Starbucks Corporation, this paper further verified that implementing comprehensive and competitive employee welfare strategies in a sales environment can significantly enhance employee loyalty and reduce turnover rates. The study provides specific management recommendations for enterprises in the sales industry, emphasizing the importance of establishing or improving employee benefit plans to enhance employee satisfaction and business performance.
Secure Search of Smart Home Data Based on Access Control Encryption
Authors: Jia Jingda , Chen Zhenhua
Published: November 2024

In recent years, the increasing variety of smart home devices, such as smart locks, surveillance cameras, and various sensors, has led to a significant rise in related data. To facilitate the sharing of smart home data, manufacturers store these data on the Internet of Things (IoT). However, since IoT servers are not fully trustworthy and the data often contain sensitive commercial information, any leakage could result in a commercial crisis for manufacturers. To address security concerns, manufacturers encrypt the data before storing them on the IoT. A challenge arises: how can users search for target data in encrypted form? This paper proposes a new search encryption scheme for smart home data, addressing the limitations of existing attribute-based encryption (ABE) searchable encryption schemes. The proposed scheme integrates access control trees and bilinear mapping technology, supporting multiple access policies including AND gates, OR gates, and threshold gates. Experimental results demonstrate a comprehensive analysis of the attribute-based searchable encryption protocol under a multi-authority architecture, covering four dimensions: correctness, security, complexity, and real-world application scenarios. In specific scenarios, when a data user, out of privacy concerns, is unwilling to reveal all attribute information to a single authority during a query for shared datathus avoiding identity disclosureor when the users identity information is managed by multiple independent authorities, this protocol proves highly effective. It ensures smooth data sharing while maintaining data security for both data owners and users, fully safeguarding data privacy and shareability.
A Comparative Analysis of StackGAN and AttnGAN in Text-to-Image Generation
Authors: Wang Runguo
Published: November 2024

Abstract. This research looks at text-to-image generation as a whole, comparing two popular modelsStacked Generative Adversarial Networks (StackGAN) and Attentional Generative Adversarial Networks (AttnGAN)and their respective strengths and weaknesses. Text-to-image generation has seen significant advancements with the introduction of GAN-based models, and this paper aims to explore how these models perform in terms of image quality, realism, and alignment with textual descriptions. Using the Caltech-UCSD Birds (CUB)-200-2011 dataset, which consists of bird images, extensive experiments were conducted to evaluate and compare the capabilities of the two models. The results indicate that AttnGAN outperforms StackGAN across multiple metrics, particularly in the accuracy of detail alignment and overall image realism. AttnGAN's multi-level attention mechanism allows it to pay attention to specific textual elements when generating related sections of the image, resulting in more aesthetically pleasing and semantically consistent outputs. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in improving both the diversity and quality of generated images. This work offers substantial insights into the capabilities and constraints of existing models, providing guidance for future research with the aim of improving text-to-image generation.
Mitigating Bias in Large Language Models: A Multi-Task Training Approach Using BERT
Authors: Chen Siru
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have become essential tools due to their advanced natural language processing capabilities. However, these models, trained on extensive internet text, can inadvertently learn and propagate unwanted biases, impacting their outputs. This study addresses this issue by analyzing and mitigating such biases through a multi-task and multi-stage training approach. Utilizing the Winograd Bias (Winobias) dataset, the research fine-tunes the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model to reduce biased outputs. The approach includes an initial mask task to establish a general understanding and a subsequent cloze task to specifically target and mitigate biases. Results demonstrate a significant reduction in bias, with the original model showing approximately 90% certainty in biased outputs, whereas the de-biased model reduced this certainty to 55%. This study effectively showcases a method for bias reduction by modifying only a few parameters, emphasizing a practical approach to enhancing fairness and balance in LLMs used across various applications.

Game Pathfinding System Design based on A-Star Pathfinding Algorithm
Authors: Bai Honghao
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Pathfinding systems are used in many applications today, including navigation systems, autonomous driving systems, and games. The core part of the pathfinding system is the pathfinding algorithm, A Star pathfinding algorithm is a kind of efficient pathfinding algorithm, which is especially suitable for the design of game pathfinding. In this paper, based on the A Star algorithm, Godot game engine and C Sharp language are used to write a pathfinding program. After comparing different pathfinding methods and the estimated function, the A Star algorithm is improved according to the needs of the actual game pathfinding system, so that the pathfinding program can avoid crossing the obstacles through the diagonal by searching the surrounding obstacles and excluding unavailable nodes, and find a shorter path by using the Euclidean distance estimated function. The program applies the improved A Star algorithm in practice, and finally can complete the basic pathfinding needed in the game, which is practical for the design of the game's pathfinding system.
Cultural Origins of Business Formation
Authors: Gökmen Seyit
Published: November 2024

This paper presents a conceptual framework connecting historical kinship structures and generalized trust into modern business formation. Kinship intensity, defined as the degree of strength in family ties, is shaping the social and economic outlook of societies. Building upon the existing literature, I argue that societies with strong kinship ties often exhibit collectivist characteristics, leading to less trust towards outsiders. This hinders market efficiency and collaborative partnerships, resulting in business formation being largely confined to family-owned enterprises. Conversely, societies with loose kinship structures exhibits higher level of generalized trust that enable to promote engagements beyond family networks. This promotes establishing larger firms with strangers, more efficient markets, and greater cooperation with foreign firms. The paper suggests that kinship and trust behavior are deeply rooted in culture and influence social and economic development. It is important for policy- makers to support initiatives that foster trust beyond family ties to promote collaboration among diverse market participants.

Published: November 2024

O estupro, é um dos crimes mais graves contra a integridade sexual, é definida como a prática de relações sexuais sem o consentimento da vítima, geralmente acompanhada de violência física, ameaças ou coerção emocional. Nos últimos anos, à medida que a tecnologia avançou e a comunicação digital se tornou mais comum, houve necessidade de expandir esta definição para incluir a violação virtual. Esses tipos de crimes ocorrem quando a violência sexual é cometida por meios eletrônicos como internet, celulares ou outros dispositivos tecnológicos. Isto pode incluir situações em que a vítima é forçada ou manipulada a dar consentimento online, bem como casos de exploração sexual virtual, como fazer sexo sem consentimento ou partilhar imagens íntimas sem permissão. A classificação virtual da violência sexual reconhece novas formas de interação social e comunicação, adaptando a legislação a estas novas situações e garantindo proteção adequada às vítimas. É importante que a lei acompanhe o desenvolvimento da sociedade e da tecnologia para responder eficazmente aos desafios da violência sexual moderna e para garantir justiça e proteção a todas as pessoas, tanto no mundo físico como no virtual.
"نظرة عالم على تاريخ الفقه بعد فترة التنظيمات: محمود أسعد السيديشهري وكتابه "تاريخ علم الحقوق
Authors: Çağlar Muhammet Ali
Published: November 2024

كان تاريخ الفقه أحد الفروع الهامة للفقه دائمًا حيث يُمكّننا من رؤية المراحل، والتحولات، والمغامرات التي مر بها علم الفقه عبر الزمن من بداية الإسلام. وتتيح لنا قراءة تاريخ الفقه من خلال التركيز على فترة معينة رؤية انعكاسات وتطبيقات الفقه في تلك الفترة. محمود أسعد السيديشهري هو أول وربما الوحيد الذي كتب تأليفا باللغة التركية العثمانية في مجال تاريخ الفقه بعد فترة التنظيمات. ويستحق السيديشهري وكتابه بفضل هذه الخاصية أن يكونا موضوعًا للبحث. وتمكنا من دراسة كيفية تحليل تاريخ الفقه في السنوات التي كانت تقترب من نهاية الدولة العثمانية بوسيلة هذه الدراسة الساذجة. ولا يمكن مقارنتها بكتب أخرى بما أن هذا الكتاب هو الوحيد في مجال تاريخ الفقه في تلك الفترة. ومع ذلك يُعتبر الكتاب مثالًا يستحق الدراسة نظرًا لتقديمه إطارًا عامًا للموضوعات التي تمت مناقشتها في دراسة مختصرة لتاريخ الفقه في فترة التنظيمات. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، يوفر هذا الكتاب فرصة للحصول على تلميحات حول كيفية تأثير الحضارة الغربية على العلماء العثمانيين في معالجة القضايا الفقهية في السنوات الأخيرة من الدولة العثمانية التي كانت تشهد تزايد التأثير الغرب، والكتاب ذو قيمة في إظهار مدى توافق أو تعارض المناقشات الفقهية والاجتهادات خلال هذه الفترة مع الأنظمة القانونية الغربية، وما هي الابتكارات التي تبناها في النظام القانوني العثماني وكيف تطبقها؟ وفي هذا السياق لا يُسلّط الكتاب الضوء فقط على تاريخ الفقه، بل يساهم أيضًا في فهم التحولات الثقافية والقانونية التي شهدتها الدولة العثمانية في فترتها الأخيرة. وستتضمن هذه الدراسة، بعد المقدمة، فصلين. الفصل الأول سيتناول حياة محمود أسعد السيديشهري وآثاره. أما الفصل الثاني، فسيركز على كتاب "تاريخ علم الحقوق" للسيديشهري، والذي يمكن اعتباره من الدراسات الهامة في مجالي القانون وتاريخ الفقه، حيث سيتم تقديم آرائه العامة حول تاريخ الفقه الإسلامي. وسيتم محاولة اختتام الدراسة بجزء ختامي يلخص النتائج في نهاية الدراسة.
Biodiversity Conservation and Human Health
Authors: Gómez Andres , Landrigan Kimberley , Nichols Elizabeth , Siller Stefanie
Published: November 2024

The connections between biodiversity and human health have become a focus of recent attention and research as anthropogenic causes have led to an unprecedented loss of global biodiversity. Using the World Health Organization’s Ecosystems program, this module reviews biodiversity-human health linkages, both direct (e.g., food) and indirect (e.g., waste removal), as well as the potential conflicts of interest between biodiversity conservation and human health (e.g., reduction in disease vectors from forest clear-cutting). These linkages are not clear-cut and often leave much to consider in planning conservation programs.

Authors: Lohmann Marla , Macy Marisa
Published: November 2024

There is currently a crisis-level shortage of qualified early childhood educators, including early childhood special educators. Teacher preparation programs must address the shortage through effective teacher recruiting, training, and retention strategies. We recommend a five-point STARS model that includes: (a) Supplemental funding during field placements, (b) Teacher preparation that leads to early childhood education and early childhood special education dual licensure, (c) Advocacy at the local, state, and national levels, (d) Relationships between teacher training programs and local public and private early learning centers, and (e) Supportive and ongoing mentoring for in-service early childhood special educators. This manuscript provides an overview of this STARS model with specific recommendations for teacher educators.
The Development of Program Identity in Blended Early Childhood Personnel Preparation
Authors: Harbin Shawna , Purcell Megan
Published: November 2024

Blended personnel preparation programs grant teacher candidates more than one teaching license, qualifying them to provide educational services to young children and their families in a variety of early childhood education (ECE), early childhood special education (ECSE), and early intervention (EI) settings. However, there is not yet a cohesive understanding of the qualities and characteristics blended programs share. In this paper, we describe one blended program from a four-year, undergraduate educator preparation program at a large, research institution in the Midwestern United States. We address multiple key components of our program, including a brief historical overview, its curriculum and content, and several unique program features. We also discuss how our program aligns to both the EI/ECSE Standards and the ECE Standards and Competencies. We include specific examples from our program to illustrate our blended approach to personnel preparation.
Inclusive Early Childhood Teacher Education: A Paradigm for Envisioning and Enacting
Authors: Evans Leanne , Joseph Tatiana , Bartlett Maggie , Jozwik Sara
Published: November 2024

This article describes the processes and timeline of developing our Inclusive Early Childhood Teacher Education Program (IECTE). In doing so, we describe collaborations that have a dynamic unfolding that took place over 10 years and united early childhood education (ECE), early intervention/early childhood special education (EI/ECSE), and bilingual/English as a second language (ESL) programming. Foundational to our collaborative work is the transformation that occurred within these individual areas of teacher education that eventually led us to the evolving paradigm of inclusivity in early childhood education. In our IECTE work we detail our paradigm of critical inclusivity that includes three tenets: (1) a dialogic approach, (2) curriculum revision, (3) student guidance, and (4) mentoring support. We conclude by offering implications for continuous growth through descriptions of radical collaboration and advocacy in inclusive early childhood settings, such as intervention agencies, Head Start programs, childcare centers, community programs, and public schools.

At the present moment, the entities are operating under conditions of tough competition, which imposes the need to organize a viable management accounting system. Currently, in most of the entities in the Republic of Moldova, managerial accounting is not kept or only unreliable attempts are made to organize it. The created situation can be explained by the lack of a basis and some methodological recommendations regarding its organization. In this context, it is proposed to develop at entity level a managerial accounting policy that would include three key compartments: organizational, technical and methodological.
The article proposes the basic elements that must be included in each of its compartments. As a result, the managerial accounting policies will help to ensure the efficient management of financial resources by internally regulating the principles, methods and procedures used to record, report and analyze accounting information needed by management in the decision-making process.

Published: November 2024

This study's major aim was to compare university teachers' job satisfaction regarding gender, age, and marital status. The current study was descriptive in nature, and data was gathered by survey methods. 164 University of Kotli teachers made up the study population. The researcher chose 113 teachers to serve as the study's sample. The study's research tool was a standardized instrument. The researcher gathered the data through in-person visits to university instructors. The data was analyzed using SPSS, a statistical software for social science. In order to analyze the data, the researcher used the independent sample t-test, frequency, percentage, mean, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). It was found that teachers receive recognition from their immediate supervisors, and they give assistance when needed. Moreover, the immediate supervisor appreciates good teaching and assists in improving instruction. On the other hand, the immediate supervisor does not provide backup to teachers, and they are not willing to listen to suggestions from teachers. It is also recommended that immediate supervisors avoid giving meaningless instructions to the teachers so that they do not feel bored/ill.

Published: November 2024

This study examines the critical role that Digital Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play in the development of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and digital literacy—skills that are essential for the twenty-first century. We do, however, recognize some important tasks, such as requiring ongoing training for educators and ensuring equitable access to technologies. A balanced approach that will prioritize pedagogy over technology and emphasize the need to adapt curricula and teaching practices to maximize the potential of DICT is important, as highlighted by the study. In the future, we propose strategies for the effective integration of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, into the development of 21st century skills. We found that, despite having transformative potential for education, careful and contextualized implementation, informed by constant research and collaboration among all participants in the educational ecosystem is critical to the success of DICT. Utilizing the potential of digital technologies, this work contributes to the advancement of knowledge on how to effectively prepare students for the challenges of a rapidly evolving world.

Published: November 2024

This study investigated inclusion and equity policies in basic education, seeking to understand how these policies are structured and what impacts they have on pedagogical practice. The problem addressed was: what are the main challenges and effects of inclusion and equity policies in education? The overall objective was to analyze how these policies are implemented and their implications for the educational environment. The methodology used was a bibliographic review of the main references in the area, covering legislation, programs, challenges and inclusive pedagogical practices. The main laws and guidelines that guide inclusion policies were examined, as well as the specific programs implemented to promote equity. In addition, challenges related to regional and socioeconomic inequalities, teacher training, and the availability of educational resources were identified. The results showed that, although inclusion and equity policies have advanced, there are still significant challenges in their implementation. Successful pedagogical practices include diversified methodologies and the use of assistive technologies, but the effectiveness of these practices is limited by a lack of resources and adequate teacher training. The final considerations highlighted the need to improve teacher training and school infrastructure to ensure effective implementation of policies and suggested continuing research to broaden understanding and the development of new strategies for inclusion and equity in basic education.

GÊNERO E IDENTIDADE NA PÓS-MODERNIDADE: CONSIDERAÇÕES NASCENTES
Authors: Delfini Ana Cláudia , Capo Pedro , Alexandrino Tarsilla Noemi Bertoli
Published: November 2024

It is urgent to reflect on identity and how personal characteristics can engender it. The dichotomy that emerges when it comes to the identity between men and women reveals a segregation in which positive value is attributed to one and negative value to the other, placing the gender binary in our society as a unique condition. To this end, the guiding thread of this article will seek to understand the relations of identity in postmodernity and the relations that gender has in the poststructuralist movement, in a qualitative methodological proposal that encompasses basic texts on gender and identity in which the authors make considerations. From the conception of identities, we see that differentiating individuals is a process imbricated with meanings that reinforces the historical and geographical characteristics to which the subjects are subjected, which presents constant modifications, which gives rise to new identities. With regard to gender, the search for it to become an analytical category crosses the struggle of minorities affected by inequalities in power relations and the resignification of the term so that it does not only differentiate male from female, opening space for new conceptions and categories. The current social construction, therefore, demands that the meanings loaded with absolute truths be remodeled, counterposing modern thought and resignifying identities and gender, to deconstruct the ambiguities and generalizations rooted in each one of us.

Authors: Bezerra Sefisa Quixadá , da Silva Francisco Ayslan Regino , de Sousa Francisco Leon Torres
Published: November 2024

The present work investigates the impact of automation on the labor market in the municipality of Sobral, Ceará. By analyzing data from formal occupations and cross-referencing it with studies on the probability of automation, the study seeks to identify the positions most vulnerable to replacement by machines and intelligent systems in the next 10 years. The research is justified by the growing influence of technology on work dynamics. The evolution of artificial intelligence and robotics allows repetitive and manual tasks to be automated, which raises questions about the future of employment and the need for companies and workers to adapt. The study focuses on Sobral to offer a local overview of the ongoing transformations. To develop this work, a structured observation of data on formal occupations registered with the agencies for the promotion of work and employment for the city of Sobral, in Ceará, was carried out. Then, the method of Frey & Osbourne in Lima (2019) was applied to obtain the probability of automation of occupations. In this bibliometric and documentary study, in its entirety, to perceive and prospect what are the possible scenarios and possibilities that the evolution of work automation will bring in 10 years to the municipality of Ceará mentioned. It is concluded that given the importance of the theme, it is necessary to develop projects that aim at the formation of a corpus, which can trigger competencies and skills to ensure a higher quality transition for these occupations that will suffer from the changes, and that meet the different needs and, thus, implement a policy of monitoring the automated occupations and occupations created by technological changes in Sobral/CE.

Authors: Ferreira Marcio Harrison dos Santos , Nascimento Adriana Ferreira , Souza José Henrique Santos , Marinho Cristiane Moraes , Freitas Helder Ribeiro
Published: November 2024

O presente trabalho analisa as correntes e estilos de Agricultura de Base Ecológica no Brasil, investigando suas origens, contextos, sujeitos e organizações envolvidas. Objetiva compreender como essas práticas sustentáveis estão sendo  implementadas no país e identificar os desafios enfrentados por movimentos sociais, instituições e sujeitos na promoção desses estilos de agricultura. A metodologia utilizada foi o Mapeamento Sistemático da Literatura nas bases de dados Google Scholar, Portal de Periódicos da CAPES, Scielo e Redalyc. Foram triadas publicações entre 1992 e 2023, utilizando-se a string de busca “agricultura alternativa” AND “agricultura de base ecológica” AND “Brasil”; e seus equivalentes em inglês e espanhol. A partir dessa triagem, efetivou-se uma busca ativa pelos descritores: “agricultura orgânica”, “agricultura ecológica”, “permacultura”, “agricultura biodinâmica” e “agricultura natural”, com a seleção de 30 publicações relevantes para análise. Os resultados apontam para a diversidade de correntes de Agricultura de Base Ecológica no Brasil, cada uma com suas particularidades e contribuições para a sustentabilidade da agricultura no país. Destaca-se o papel fundamental dos movimentos sociais, da educação popular e da agroecologia na promoção dessas práticas e a necessidade de construção de processos organizativos e tecnologias apropriadas para uma maior difusão desses estilos de agricultura em todo o país.

Background: Thiamine (vitamin B1) has the potential to influence the severity of various diseases by enhancing immune function. However, its role in the manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains inadequately understood. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of thiamine in alleviating symptoms of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. Methods: In this open-label, randomized, controlled trial, 66 recovered COVID-19 patients experiencing post-acute COVID-19 syndrome were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: An intervention group receiving vitamin B1 alongside supportive therapy and a control group receiving supportive therapy alone. Symptom frequency and severity were monitored weekly over a nine-week period as study outcomes. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: The mean age of participants was 49.35 ± 13.83 years. Findings showed that vitamin B1 administration significantly shortened the duration for symptom improvement compared to the control group, with effects observed within two weeks (P < 0.0001). Unlike the control group, many symptoms—including myalgia, anosmia, ageusia, fatigue, and sleep disturbances—showed improvement after five weeks of vitamin B1 supplementation (P < 0.05). From the seventh week onwards, the recovery rate in the vitamin B1 group was twice that of the control group. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that vitamin B1 administration can significantly reduce the duration of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. For post-acute COVID-19 patients, vitamin B1 supplementation along with appropriate supportive therapy is recommended to enhance recovery rates.

In e-learning, the shift from platforms to online communication tools has been significant. As education evolves towards virtual environments, learning platforms become crucial for managing courses, delivering content and assessing learners. The article focuses on various forms of online communication tools, such as discussion forums, live chats and virtual meeting rooms, and explains how these tools facilitate interaction, collaboration and active participation between learners. It also discusses potential obstacles to the integration of these tools. In this contribution, we work with the LMS platform, as the various online communication tools can be found in the LMS platform. Ultimately, the article highlights the importance of combining a robust e-learning platform with appropriate online communication tools to foster an interactive learning environment.
