Peer review of learning designs
Authors: Wheeler Penny , Jarrott Mary , Daddow Angela
Published: December 2024

For academics participating in graduate certificates of higher education, the advice and feedback of their teacher peers is a potentially powerful resource. This paper reports on an evaluation-in-progress of one subject in a graduate certificate for university teaching, a fully online unit on the scholarship of technology-enhanced learning (SoTEL). Two demands are made of participants in this unit: that they should develop a prototype activity using technology for learning and teaching, and that they should review and receive a review from a class peer to enhance these individual prototypes. The assumption at the heart of this unit design is that, by undertaking a review of a colleague’s learning design, the teacher learns from these additional perspectives and can then improve their own designs for learning. Challenging this assumption are multiple aspects of the context, including the relative value of design reviews from academic developers versus less experienced peers; the multiple criteria by which a design might be evaluated; and interdisciplinary work between peers. Artefacts from participants and the academic developers teaching them are analysed to probe this underlying assumption, and to consider the value of peer review in SoTEL.
Reducing the confusion and clicks and its impact on learning
Authors: Scriven Rebecca , Crevacore Carol
Published: December 2024

With the increased importance placed on first-year university units to transition, retain and engage new students, there is a need to carefully design the navigation within a unit of study. The importance of reducing confusion for new students and the cognitive load placed on them during their first experience of university learning may assist with retention. This paper presents a collaborative project between a first-year Unit Coordinator and Senior Learning Designer to redesign the navigation of a core communications unit in a Bachelor of Science (Nursing) degree. The purpose was to reduce the confusion over what was required of the students each week and to reduce the number of clicks and scrolls through the weekly content, allowing students to focus on the content itself.
Smooth sailing

Published: December 2024

In response to the issue of a wide variability and structure in the Learning Management System (LMS) design across subjects at the school level in an Australian university, the researchers of the study developed a research-informed LMS template. The template drew on the critical factors identified in the literature that could contribute to students’ positive learning experience in online learning spaces. The study aimed to evaluate the usability and continued use intentions of the template by trialling it in four Business subjects and applied a mixed method approach to explore lecturers’ and students’ perceptions. Results showed that both students and lecturers responded to the new template positively in terms of its usability and suggested strong intentions to use it in the future.
Lessons learnt from a university LMS transformation
Authors: Rekhari Suneeti , Curran Lisa
Published: December 2024

In a changing Higher Education landscape, universities are increasingly under pressure to implement transformative learning experiences, leveraging advances in technology and increasing flexibility in the curriculum. This paper discusses the process by which our University transitioned from one Learning Management System to another, and the impact of this transformation. This impact is viewed across the College of Science, Engineering & Health learning and teaching strategies and the student experience, our planning and staff capability development. The complexities and lessons learnt from this process are identified in an attempt to reflect on the LMS transformation as a broader catalyst for change.
Swimming in unchartered waters
Authors: Nguyen Hang , Elliott Kristine , Davis Heather
Published: December 2024

The changing landscape of global higher education, due to the increasing use of educational technology, has become ‘unchartered waters’ for many university lecturers. Continuing professional development (CPD) that aims to support lecturers to ‘swim in the unchartered waters’ has become a priority in many countries. However, CPD tends to be competency-based with little attention given to lecturers’ motivations. This paper presents a conceptual framework that helps to explore CPD for lecturers teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) with technology in the Asian context of Vietnam higher education. It unpacks the important elements of CPD for the 21st century EFL lecturer through the lens of Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) and the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Framework (TPACK) (Mishra & Koehler, 2006). Accordingly, three psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness are identified as being essential elements for CPD, with TPACK specifying lecturers’ competence. This new CPD approach can guide EFL teaching practice and CPD policy in Vietnam and other similar contexts.
Embedding digital literacy

Published: December 2024

Equipping business graduates with digital literacy skills can help to enhance their employability and careers. Contextualising digital literacy to the relevant discipline and, aligned with industry expectations can help them navigate through the multiple demands of living, learning and working in a digital 21st century society. This paper draws on a pilot exemplar of the challenges in course design to explicitly embed, develop and assess students on attainment of digital literacy skills in business education. As part of the pilot, and through a cross-functional team, an innovative, media-rich and interactive Digital Literacy Module (DLM) with strong learning design based on authentic activities and scenario-based learning was developed and implemented. Insights presented here will be of value to course leads, curriculum designers, educational technologists and other practitioners to help with embedding digital literacy in higher education.
Mining digital reality
Authors: John Senorita , Butson Russell , Spronken-Smith Rachel
Published: December 2024

This study explored the computer usage behaviour of undergraduate students, by using Reality Mining techniques to capture naturally-occurring digital traces. We harvested over 14,000 hours of computer usage data from 21 undergraduate students at a New Zealand university over the period of one semester. Our preliminary analysis has given us some insights into: 1] what applications students use most frequently, 2] how much students use their computes during the semester, 3] the multi-tasking/task- switching behaviours of students, and 4] the times most common for students to use their computer devices. These results, which are from a larger ongoing study, point to interesting areas for future research around the complexities of student digital behaviours, and illustrates the potential of new research methods to capture data about student practices.
Back to the future with old-fashioned conversations
Authors: Heinrich Eva , McDonald Jenny
Published: December 2024

Recent advances in ICT have had a profound effect on tertiary education. However, critical and social theorists caution that the relationship between teacher and student is still central and educational research over many years suggests that some of the most successful pedagogical methods are those which strengthen the relationship between teacher and student and which support student development of relatedness, competence and autonomy. In this paper, we propose a new approach to course design and organisation which builds on lessons from the past while taking advantage of the affordances of contemporary technology. We summarise data from interviews with teachers and learning support staff and conclude with our hopes for the future.
Fostering teamwork skills across the School of Engineering using online self and peer assessment
Authors: Gunning Tiffany , Collins Paul
Published: December 2024

Teamwork skills have been a recognised key employability attribute in university graduates for at least the last two decades, as analysed by Curtis and McKenzie (2002) and continue to be a significant key selection criterion of many Australian employers (Graduate Outlook, 2014). This paper outlines the implementation process, learning and future directions associated with the use of an online self and peer assessment strategy, aimed to develop teamwork skills in engineering students, at Deakin University. Initially student feedback from a pilot study was used to inform and justify a three-year trial of the strategy. Then consideration was given to the professional development needs of academics to support and foster the teaching and assessment of teamwork skills in the school. Into the future, teamwork skill development depends upon the evaluation of course learning outcomes and development of minimum standard descriptors of teamwork skills across all year levels.
Paper versus e-assessment
Authors: Gibbons Jessica , D’Souza Ingrid
Published: December 2024

Technology is becoming an integral part of the teaching and learning environment with e-assessment contributing to quality improvements in student learning experience. This research project investigated the potential effectiveness of using technology for summative assessment in an undergraduate Biomedical Science course. The results indicated that this cohort of students want choice in the location where the e-assessment is completed and choice in the device – personal or university owned. Biomedical Science students indicated that e-assessment is an effective alternative to invigilated, paper- based major in-semester assessments. Reliability of the technology and adequate feedback were also factors in the student’s perception of e-assessment. Based on findings from this study, it is our view that e-assessments in this format offers a promising alternative to traditional assessment modes.
Preparing to Succeed
Authors: Elliott Joanne , Frost Bianca
Published: December 2024

Students who study wholly online have different expectations and face different challenges than students studying on-campus. Similarly, the experience, capabilities and expectations of postgraduate students differ from those of undergraduate students, especially school-leavers. Both online and postgraduate cohorts exhibit high attrition rates, often linked to time constraints, poor preparation and dissatisfaction with learning experiences not tailored to their needs. Yet little attention has been paid to how orientation and transition support might be customised to better accommodate these cohorts. In this paper, we provide a rationale and case study for developing an online narrative-led orientation resource tailored to address issues of affiliation, connection and belonging, specific to postgraduate students.
Creating stable isotopic database of faunal remains ‒ Bronze Age Italy
Authors: Davitashvili Ana
Published: December 2024

This article presents a zooarchaeological isotopic database for Bronze Age Italy, based on previously published isotopic studies. It integrates 209 samples from both, domesticated and wild animals, across Northern, Central, and Southern Italy. The primary aim of the study is to provide comprehensive description of isotopic data covering historical, archaeological, biological, zooarchaeological, geological information in one compile file. It offers a wide-ranging analysis of animal and plant consumption patterns across Italy during the Bronze Age, highlighting differences and similarities across the Italian peninsula and islands. The article underlines isotopic databases as a crucial source for meta-analytical research of prehistorical lifestyle, underscoring their significance in archaeological studies and providing multi-lay-ered insights into prehistoric human-animal interactions. Furthermore, it presents a vital importance of zooarchaeology, as a discipline to investigate human dietary and husbandry practices. Statistical methods are applied to visualize and interpret the isotopic data in order to enhance the clarity and accuracy of di-etary and socio-economic dynamics in Bronze Age Italy. After gathering isotopic studies and organizing them in an excel file based on various criteria, statistical tests for multiple comparison analysis of isotopic ratios were performed using the SPSS software. The Results suggest marked regional differences in diet, with Northern Italy showing early evidence of C4 plant cultivation, such as millet, while Central and Southern Italy maintained a reliance on traditional cereals like wheat and barley (C3 plants).

Published: December 2024

Objective This study aims to objectively evaluate turning gait parameters in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients using 2D-RGB video-based analysis and explore their relationships with imbalance.Methods We prospectively enrolled PD patients for clinical assessment, balance analysis and gait with 180º turning. Spatiotemporal gait parameters during turning were derived using video-based analysis and correlated with modified Hoehn and Yahr (mHY) stages and center of pressure (COP) oscillations.Results A total of 64 PD patients were enrolled. The PD patients with higher mHY stages (≥2.5) had significantly longer turning times, greater numbers of steps, wider step bases and less variability in step length during turns. COP oscillations were positively correlated with the mean turning time on both the anterior-posterior and right-left axes.Conclusion Spatiotemporal gait parameter during turning, derived from video-based gait analysis, may represent apromising biomarker for monitoring postural instability in PD patients.
Investigating lexical-semantic effects on morphosyntactic variation using elastic net regression
Authors: Sevenants Anthe , Van de Velde Freek , Speelman Dirk
Published: December 2024

This article showcases elastic net regression as a means to build fairer models of morphosyntactic variation. Elastic net allows lexical items to appear on the same level as traditional, high-level predictors, enabling fuller models of variation. We apply elastic net regression to 1,296,574 Dutch verbal cluster tokens from the SoNaR corpus, analysing a morphosyntactic alternance in Dutch subordinate clauses. Our results show morphosyntactic preferences among verbs, indicating that semantic effects are indeed at play. Further analysis shows that semantic patterns for either word order exist, though it remains difficult to glean any semantic generalisations. Still, the elastic net technique shows that the inclusion of lexical items as full predictors in a model is useful, as much of the variation left unexplained by high-level predictors can be explained in lexical terms.
The Status of War Prisoners at Uruk in the Old Babylonian Period
Authors: Rositani Annunziata
Published: December 2024

This paper elaborates on the status of war prisoners in southern Mesopotamia during the Old Babylonian period. The analysis focuses on the data from the bīt asīrī texts, coming from “the house of prisoners of war.” These texts date back to the reign of Rīm-Anum, who held power in Uruk during the rebellion of southern Mesopotamian city-states against king Samsu-iluna of Babylon. This archive provides unparalleled evidence for studying the status of war prisoners during the first half of the second millennium BC.

The analysis suggests a distinction in the management of slaves and prisoners of war, showing that the latter were only employed as forced workers under the superior authority of the palace without being included in the slave trade or becoming privately owned slaves. The author argues that the status of prisoner of war was different from slavery, and the paper uses the emic term “head” (sag) when referring to them. To confirm this model, the author analyzes some elements of the so-called “death certificates” and particular ways in which war prisoners were employed, such as weavers.

Additionally, the article presents the gifting of some prisoners to deities by the royal family. These gifted prisoners were high-ranking military officers or connected to prominent figures of Ešnunna, Malkum, and Mutiabal, often qualified as šallatum of Isin. It is argued that they were not slaves but hostages; giving them to the temples could have been a way to leave an option for a potential ransom or to negotiate agreements with other warring parties. Finally, the paper analyzes the ways of releasing prisoners upon ransom payment, agreements, or following a royal action, confirming the temporary nature of the dependent status of these prisoners working under the palace’s authority.
An approach to nonparametric inference on the causal dose–response function
Authors: Hudson Aaron , Geng Elvin H. , Odeny Thomas A. , Bukusi Elizabeth A. , Petersen Maya L. , van der Laan Mark J.
Published: December 2024

The causal dose–response curve is commonly selected as the statistical parameter of interest in studies where the goal is to understand the effect of a continuous exposure on an outcome. Most of the available methodology for statistical inference on the dose-response function in the continuous exposure setting requires strong parametric assumptions on the probability distribution. Such parametric assumptions are typically untenable in practice and lead to invalid inference. It is often preferable to instead use nonparametric methods for inference, which only make mild assumptions about the data-generating mechanism. We propose a nonparametric test of the null hypothesis that the dose-response function is equal to a constant function. We argue that when the null hypothesis holds, the dose-response function has zero variance. Thus, one can test the null hypothesis by assessing whether there is sufficient evidence to claim that the variance is positive. We construct a novel estimator for the variance of the dose-response function, for which we can fully characterize the null limiting distribution and thus perform well-calibrated tests of the null hypothesis. We also present an approach for constructing simultaneous confidence bands for the dose-response function by inverting our proposed hypothesis test. We assess the validity of our proposal in a simulation study. In a data example, we study, in a population of patients who have initiated treatment for HIV, how the distance required to travel to an HIV clinic affects retention in care.
Vernonia amygdalina aqueous leaf extract modulates metformin pharmacokinetics, inhibits CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 enzymes in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Authors: Akowuah Gabriel Akyirem , Sabbagh Bassel Al , Palanirajan Vijayaraj Kumar , Chew Yik-ling , Chin Jin Han , Ahmad Mariam
Published: December 2024

Objectives

Vernonia amygdalina Del. leaves are used in traditional Southeast Asia and Africa medicinal practices. Metformin is used for diabetes management. This study investigated the effect of a single dose of aqueous leaf extract of V. amygdalina on metformin pharmacokinetics in diabetic rats.

Methods

Diabetic rats were randomly assigned to four groups, with six rats in each group. Group 1 was administered distilled water. Group 2 was administered V. amygdalina aqueous leaf extract alone. Group 3 was administered metformin alone. Group 4 was co-administered V. amygdalina extract plus metformin. Blood was collected at predetermined intervals, and plasma metformin levels were measured with liquid chromatography. The area under the curve (AUC0-t), maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax), half-life (t1/2), and clearance (CL), were calculated based on noncompartment analysis. The effect of the extract on CYP2C9, CYP3A4, and UGT activities was determined using a Fluorometric Screening Kit.

Results

The combined treatment altered the pharmacokinetic parameters of metformin. The Tmax increased from 90±0.18 min to 180±0.13 min and the Cmax, increased from 0.91±0.32 μg/mL to 2.153±0.28 μg/mL. Additionally, the AUC(0-t) increased from 118.25±1.37 μg min mL−1 to 301.006±1.96 μg min mL−1 and the t1/2 increased from 34.69±0.61 min to 101.321±0.55 min. However, the CL rate was decreased. The extract inhibited CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 enzyme activities.

Conclusions

The alteration of pharmacokinetic parameters by the extract suggests potential herb-drug interactions.
Patterns and determinants of serum amylase, lipase concentrations in Indian adolescents and youth with type 1 diabetes
Authors: Dange Nimisha Shankar , Oza Chirantap , Khadilkar Vaman , Gondhalekar Ketan , Yewale Sushil , Khadilkar Anuradha
Published: December 2024

Objectives

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency has been demonstrated in type 1 diabetes (T1D); lower concentrations of pancreatic enzymes have been associated with metabolic risk (MR). Influence of puberty and MR factors on serum concentrations of amylase and lipase remain unexplored in Indian youth with T1D. 1) To characterize and predict determinants of serum amylase and lipase concentrations in adolescents/youth with T1D. 2) To assess relationship between amylase, lipase, and prevalence of MR.

Methods

Cross sectional, observational study on 291 (155 girls) adolescents/youth (10–24 years) with T1D. History, examination, body composition, biochemistry (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c], thyroid stimulating hormone [TSH], lipids).

Results

Mean age, diabetes duration and HbA1c were 15.3, 7.0 years and 10.0 ± 2.1, respectively. Relative risk of lower amylase/higher lipase concentrations (9.5 %) was 1.42 and 1.34, respectively, though these did not reach statistical significance. In pubertal participants, amylase was lower and lipase higher; association was not found with MR. Higher TSH and lower serum calcium were significantly associated with higher lipase (p<0.001).

Conclusions

We have characterized amylase and lipase concentrations across puberty; poor glycemic control tended to be associated with lower amylase and higher lipase, though these findings did not reach statistical significance. Amylase and lipase concentrations should be monitored in Indian adolescents with T1D, particularly in those with poor metabolic control, puberty, uncontrolled hypothyroidism, or reduced calcium intake, while further longitudinal and larger studies are needed to generalize these findings.
Immaterielles Kulturerbe – Beratung als Cultural Brokerage
Authors: Groschwitz Helmut
Published: December 2024

Am bundesdeutschen Umsetzungsverfahren des UNESCO-Übereinkommens zur Erhaltung des immateriellen Kulturerbes (2003) sind zahlreiche Akteure und Gemeinschaften beteiligt, die gemeinsam ein Netzwerk bilden, aus dessen Zusammenspiel heraus Kulturerbe entsteht. Aufbauend auf den Erfahrungen an der Beratungs- und Forschungsstelle Immaterielles Kulturerbe Bayern wird der Fokus auf die unmittelbaren Beratungsangebote, ihre Rolle als Cultural Broker und die damit verbundenen Übersetzungsleistungen gelegt. Im Beratungs- und Forschungsprozess müssen die verschiedenen „Loyalitäten“ zwischen Trägergruppen, Politik, Wissenschaft und Zivilgesellschaft berücksichtigt und in Einklang gebracht werden. Speziell im Zusammenhang von Contested Heritage bedeutet Beratung bzw. Cultural Brokerage, dass aus einer neutralen Position heraus Wissen vermittelt wird, um einen Informed Heritage Discourse zu ermöglichen.
Immaterielles Kulturerbe und Museumspraxis: Zum Beispiel Alltagskultur
Authors: Zinn-Thomas Sabine
Published: December 2024

Dem Anspruch des Bewahrens materieller Objekte im Museum steht das „dynamische Vermächtnis“ des immateriellen Erbes gegenüber. Immaterielle Kulturformen sind veränderlich und an Menschen gebunden. Kulturelle Praxen (wie Bräuche oder Festumzüge) erhalten sich durch Weiter- und Wiedergabe, wobei immer wieder darum gerungen wird, wie viel Veränderung und Wandel akzeptabel sind. Als authentisch erweist sich hier oftmals das, was eine Geschichte hat. Im Spannungsfeld des Bewahrens von Artefakten im Museum und der Dokumentation, Forschung und Weitergabe von Wissen in Bezug auf dessen Umgang bewegt sich die Arbeit am Museum der Alltagskultur und der Landesstelle für Alltagskultur am Landesmuseum Württemberg. Anhand von Beispielen soll in diesem Beitrag gezeigt werden, wie die im Museum gesammelten Gegenstände und das damit verbundene Wissen zum Impulsgeber für kulturelle Tradierungsprozesse werden, die sich als sinn- bzw. identitätsstiftend für die Gegenwart erweisen können.
A Conversation With Dr. Harlene Anderson About First Conversations: Intakes From a Collaborative Dialogic Stance
Authors: Saldivar Emily , Gil-Wilkerson Adriana , Zepeda Stephanie
Published: December 2024

Collaborative dialogic practice (also known as collaborative therapy) distinguishes itself from more linear approaches by embracing the ideas of curiosity, not-knowing, and conversational change. This article explores the particularness of this approach regarding the concept of an “intake” session and how doing an intake from this lens might differ from other approaches. The concepts in this article were generated from a conversation that Dr. Harlene Anderson held with a group of master's-level graduate students around the subject. Sample dialogue from that exchange is presented, along with a discussion of implications for practice and how a collaborative approach to intakes can be beneficial to the therapy experience for the client and the therapist.

OS TEXTOS LITERÁRIOS ANTIGOS E O HISTORIADOR: DESAFIOS E ABORDAGENS
Authors: Martins Esteves Anderson de Araujo
Published: December 2024

RESUMO: Ao abordar os textos literários e paraliterários da Antiguidade Clássica, o historiador se vê diante de um duplo desafio. Primeiramente, a língua original em que foram escritos representa um obstáculo não negligenciável e só parcialmente transponível por meio de uma tradução. Em segundo lugar, não menos importante é situar o texto estudado dentro de um quadro de gêneros e épocas literárias, que servem como balizamentos que ajudam a compreender os documentos dentro de seu contexto estético de produção. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir as noções de gênero e época literária, propor um panorama da literatura, a partir dessas grades teóricas e ressaltar como textos pertencentes a gêneros diferentes merecem interpretações e valorações específicas. ABSTRACT: When approaching literary and paraliterary texts in Classical Antiquity, the historian faces a double challenge. First, the language in which they were originally written represents a non-negligible obstacle, which one can only partially overcome by means of a translation. Second, and no less important, to place the text in a grid of genres and literary epochs, which work as landmarks helping to understand each document in its aesthetical context of production. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the notions of genre and literary epoch, to propose a general view of the ancient literary system and to indicate how texts related to different genres must have different interpretation and evaluation.

Authors: Bell David
Published: December 2024

This essay provides a reading of the Hubb Community Kitchen’s Together: Our Community Cookbook, which was produced in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire in London in 2017, as a collection of recipes that speaks of commensality as a shared practice that connects cook-writers to reader-cooks. Its reading of the cookbook is grounded in the literatures on commensality, on community cookbooks, and on activist representation of Grenfell. It provides a close reading of Together, located in the context of the Hubb Community Kitchen set up after the Grenfell fire. The essay is the first in a two-part series of discussions using a cookbook called Together to explore the work of food media in producing and performing forms of commensality.

ПСЕВДОРЕФЕРЕНДУМИ У ВЕРЕСНІ 2022 р. НА ОКУПОВАНИХ ТЕРИТОРІЯХ УКРАЇНИ ЩОДО ВХОДЖЕННЯ ДО СКЛАДУ РФ
Authors: Адамович Сергій
Published: December 2024

У статті досліджуються випадки порушення норм міжнародного та національного законо- давства зі сторони російської окупаційної влади та опір українців незаконному голосуванню під час проведення псевдореферендуму 23–27 вересня 2022 р. на окупованих РФ українських територіях. Росій- ська влада під час організації та проведення референдуму зустрілася з несприйняттям українцями спро- би анексії та відмовою брати участь у голосуванні. РФ масштабно використовувала примус, заляку- вання і репресії щодо українців, сфальсифікувала результати. Автор стверджує, що імітація волевияв- лення громадян була необхідна російським агресорам задля прикриття протиправної окупації РФ україн- ських територій, намагання легалізувати їх захоплення для власних громадян, а також з метою ефек- тивного поширення проросійських наративів світовій спільноті.
Ключові слова: псевдореферендум, анексія, окуповані РФ території, порушення прав людини, російська військова агресія, злочинна діяльність російської окупаційної адміністрації.
The Periodontal Health of Abutment Teeth Retaining Overdentures: A Systematic Review
Authors: Kouji Siham , El Yamani Amal , Benfdil Faiza
Published: December 2024

Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the effect of the overdenture on the periodontal state of the dental roots supporting the prosthesis.Sources: This report followed the PRISMA Statement. A systematic search was done using a search equation in different databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, and Science Direct. The search was limited to publications in English and French.Study selection: All observational clinical studies that were interested in evaluating the effect of the overdenture on the periodontal health of abutment teeth were included in our systematic review. Of the 694 articles initially identified, eight studies met our inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review.Results: There was no significant change in the alveolar bone surrounding the pillar root. The difference in pocket depth and dental mobility was insignificant. However, the loss of attachment increased over time and the height of the attached gingival decreased, especially in the mandible. This decrease was statistically significant.
A Study of Determinants of Intellectual Capital Performance in Firms: The Vietnamese Case
Authors: Dinh Nguyen Phan , To Thi Nhat Minh
Published: December 2024

This research examines determinants of intellectual capital (IC) performance in firms in Vietnam during the period 2007–2022 through employing the system generalized method of moments (SGMM) and the structural equation model (SEM). Our findings show that market capitalization (MC), sales growth, profitability, leverage, FDI, inflation and GDP significantly affect IC performance. Global crises influence it negatively and have a moderating effect on IC performance through MC, sales growth, and return on asset. This research contributes to the existing literature by examining IC performance with a consideration of the effect of the global crises and analyzing the moderating effect of the crises on IC performance. It also contributes to the literature by adding and examining the effect of MC on IC performance.
INFLUENCE OF HEMP SEED PROCESSING PRODUCTS ON STRUCTURAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF DOUGH
Authors: Blazhenko M. , Falendysh N.
Published: December 2024

The assortment of bread and bakery products on the market of Ukraine mostly has a low nutritional and biological value. Promising raw materials for enriching bread and bakery products are hemp seed processing products, namely hemp flour, hemp protein and kernels. The quality of hemp seed processing products and their influence on the structural and mechanical properties of the dough using these products were investigated. As a result of determining the granulometric composition of hemp protein, it was established that the largest content of 39.55% of particles with a size of 100.0...200.0 microns, at the same time, the diameter of the particles of hemp flour is greater than that of hemp protein and reaches a maximum of 2500 microns. It was established that compared to the control sample, the introduction of hemp processing products reduces the amount of raw gluten from 4.64 to 6.7%, its hydration capacity by 21% to 40%, stretchability, increases its elasticity from 18.4 to 26.5% . The gluten quality of all test samples, depending on the color, elasticity and stretchability, corresponds to the II quality group. As a result of deciphering farinograms, it was established that the stability of dough with hemp flour and protein decreases by 1.5 and 6 minutes, respectively. Alveograms showed that samples with hemp products have a lower extensibility index than the control sample and, accordingly, a higher P/L ratio. The strength of the flour, respectively, is the highest in the control sample, which is 239 a.u., in the samples with the replacement of 10% wheat flour for hemp and 15% wheat flour for hemp protein by 70 and 104 a.u. less than the control. In the course of the study, it was established that the specific volume of the dough and the blurring of the dough ball with the addition of hemp processing products decreases. Based on the results of determining the viscosity of the experimental dough samples, it was found that the control sample has the lowest shear stress, and therefore the lowest viscosity, compared to the samples dough with the introduction of hemp products.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To identify consumer awareness and beliefs regarding sustainable products according to a consumer profile.
Research Design & Methods: A quantitative approach was used. A questionnaire containing 24 variables was conducted using an online survey. 570 correctly completed records were obtained. The analysis used the difference test between structure indicators (chi-square), Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U test.
Findings: The best predictors of differences in consumer awareness and attitudes were respondents’ education, gender and place of residence. Age and financial situation proved to be weak predictors.
Implications / Recommendations: The results make it possible to suggest thematic areas and groups (profiles) of respondents to which educational activities should be directed at various levels of education on the circular economy and sustainable development. Manufacturers seeking to promote product sustainability could also benefit from the study’s results.
Contribution: The article identifies the product sustainability degree model as well as variables that create a consumer profile and differentiate consumers’ awareness and attitudes towards sustainable products. The differences between individuals uare also classified.
