The Influence of Millennial Market Orientation on Business Performance Moderated By Regional Regulations in Traditional Herbal Medicine SMEs
Authors: Artono Artono , Setiawan Margono , Surachman Surachman , Prabandari Sri Palupi
Published: September 2024

This research aims to analyze how millennial market orientation influences the business performance of traditional medicine SMEs and to what extent local regulations moderate this influence. Using an explanatory approach with quantitative methods, data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the partial least squares (PLS) technique to test relationships between variables. The findings reveal that millennial market orientation significantly influences the business performance of traditional medicine SMEs, with a path coefficient of 0.529 and a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05). This indicates that an increase in millennial market orientation enhances business performance. However, the second hypothesis is not supported. Regression analysis shows a positive relationship between local regulations and millennial market orientation on business performance, but the moderating influence of local regulations is not statistically significant (p 0.242 > 0.05). The practical implication is that traditional medicine SMEs need to enhance millennial market orientation to improve business performance. Understanding the preferences and needs of the millennial market can enhance competitiveness and profitability. Local regulations do not significantly moderate this relationship, so the focus on millennial market orientation should remain a priority without relying on local regulations as a moderating factor.

Enriching Physics Education with Islamic Heritage: Al-Khazini’s Gravitational Theory
Authors: Flara Riana Lady , Irawan Irawan , Rahim Faszly , Nuryantini Ade Yeti , Agustina Tri Wahyu
Published: September 2024

This research examines the contributions of Al-Khazini, a 12th-century Muslim scientist, who proposed the theory of gravity in his book “Mizan Al-Hikmah,” predating Isaac Newton by several centuries. Despite Al-Khazini’s pioneering work, his contributions are often overlooked in the history of Physics, with Newton predominantly recognized in educational contexts. This study aims to underscore Al-Khazini’s significant role in the development of gravitational theory and enhance students’ understanding of the history of Physics. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and literature review, the research analyzes relevant references to highlight this oversight. This study found that Physicsteachers frequently omit the discoveries of Muslim scientists, leading to a Western-centric view of Physicshistory among students. The study concludes that while Al-Khazini first conceptualized the theory of gravity, Newton later formulated it mathematically. Integrating Al-Khazini’s contributions into Physicseducation can enrich students’ comprehension of scientific history, deepen their grasp of gravitational concepts, and foster appreciation for the contributions of Muslim scientists. This integration promotes a more diverse and inclusive teaching approach, encouraging curriculum revisions to better acknowledge Islamic intellectual heritage and provide a more comprehensive education.

ПСИХІЧНЕ ЗДОРОВ’Я СТАРШОКЛАСНИКІВ ІЗ РІЗНИМ РІВНЕМ АКАДЕМІЧНОЇ УСПІШНОСТІ
Authors: Гавриловська Ксенія Петрівна , Кравчинська Людмила Олександрівна
Published: September 2024

Одним із важливих чинників академічної успішності є стан психічного здоров’я, а також життєстійкість здобувачів. За результатами емпіричного дослідження (n=77) виявилося, що більшість досліджуваних старшокласників мають середній (з тенденцією до високого) рівні прояву стабільності психічного здоров’я та життєстійкості та не мають проявів соціальної фобії й шкільної тривожності. Встановлено існування прямого зв’язку між стабільністю психічного здоров’я здобувачів та рівнем їх академічної успішності (r=0,25; р≤0,05) та оберненого зв’язку між рівнем академічної успішності здобувачів й фрустрацією потреби в досягненні успіху (r=-0,35; р≤0,01), проблемами і страхами у стосунках з учителями (r=-0,32; р≤0,01)). Чим більше здобувачі переживають нездатність задовільнити свою потребу в досягненні навчальних цілей та мають проблеми у стосунках з вчителями, тим нижчим буде їх рівень академічної успішності. Статистично значимого зв’язку між академічною успішністю та життєстійкістю і соціальною фобією за результатами нашого дослідження виявлено не було, тобто, рівень навчальної успішності більшою мірою залежить від соціального прийняття. Таким чином, стан психічного здоров’я здобувачів, і можливість перебувати під час навчання у підтримуючому, толерантному, дружньому соціальному середовищі має важливе значення для підвищення рівня академічної успішності. У взаємодії з учителями позитивну роль можуть зіграти кількість та якість отриманих здобувачами «емоційних поглажувань», наявність емоційної підтримки (особливо у стресових ситуаціях), поціновування позанавчальних досягнень, різноманітність соціальних ситуацій взаємодії, завдання, що дозволяють сконцентруватися на процесі тощо. Важливо будувати безбар’єрне, дружнє до здобувачів шкільне середовище, в якому можна розраховувати на прийняття і соціальну підтримку.

Published: September 2024

Indonesian Ministry of Health states that there has been a decrease in the stunting rate in Indonesia, however, based on WHO health standards, the stunting rate in Indonesia is still high. This fact shows that posyandu as the spearhead of handling stunting still needs to develop strategies in an effort to reduce stunting rates. This research analyzes the intervention strategies carried out by posyandu cadres in the Pamoyanan sub-district, in implementing health communication for handling stunted children. The findings of this research are that the family counseling health communication intervention pattern in the form of mutual cooperation in handling stunted children by the entire family of the stunted child has proven to be effective in restoring the health of the stunted child, where the whole family works together to implement a healthy eating pattern for the stunted child. This research also found that assigning treatment only to mothers proved to be less effective, in addition to the characteristics of highly educated mothers not always producing a parenting pattern that could prevent stunting in children. This research is qualitative research with a case study approach on five stunted children found in the Pamoyanan sub-district.

Sin embargo, como también lo han señalado otros(as) autores(as), no basta con modificar el marco regulatorio formal para generar un cambio. ¿Está transformándose el sistema mexicano de relaciones industriales? En este artículo se hace una valoración de estos cambios usando el concepto de sistema de relaciones industriales de Dunlop como dispositivo heurístico y tomando a la industria automotriz como referente empírico. A partir de este análisis se identifican los principales desafíos para lograr una más honda transformación de las relaciones laborales en México.
The ‘Double Risk’ of Aging: Examining Vulnerability and (Un)supportive Built Environments in Canadian Cities
Authors: Biglieri Samantha , Hartt Maxwell
Published: September 2024

The confluence of rapid population aging and the overwhelming desire of older adults to age in place begs the question: Do our cities support the health and well-being of aging populations? Using a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood approach, this macro-scale investigation explores the “double risk” that many older adults live with – the potential of being disadvantaged by socio-demographic risk factors (being older, living alone, low income) and by living in an unsupportive built environment. It is an integration of what we know about supportive built form for older adults and applies this knowledge to Canadian cities, using a spectrum approach to classifying built environments. We found that most older adults with socio-demographic risk factors are living in unsupportive built environments in Canada; however, the distribution between built environments along the spectrum and between municipalities reveals a variegated landscape of double risk. Previous research suggests that unsupportive built environments can be supplemented with services, small-scale improvements in the built environment, and larger-scale retrofitting of neighbourhoods. Since the spatial distribution of vulnerability varies greatly within the 33 Canadian cities analysed, it highlights the need for this kind of inquiry to target age-friendly policy interventions.
Fostering Mobility for People Living with Dementia in Suburban Neighborhoods Through Land Use, Urban Design and Wayfinding
Authors: Biglieri Samantha , Dean Jennifer
Published: September 2024

The World Health Organization (WHO) calls dementia the leading cause of dependency and disability among older adults. People living with dementia (PLWD) are more likely to reside in community, and often within suburban areas. This research examines mobility barriers and supports for PLWD within suburban neighborhoods in Waterloo, Canada. We conducted thirteen participatory go-along interviews with seven PLWD, identifying supports/barriers relating to land-use and transportation, urban design, and wayfinding. While this research highlighted mobility barriers for participants, suburban neighborhoods were also perceived as enabling environments, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of life in suburban settings.
City as the core of contagion? Repositioning COVID-19 at the social and spatial periphery of urban society
Authors: Biglieri Samantha , Vidovich Lorenzo De , Keil Roger
Published: September 2024

COVID-19 proliferates in extended forms of urbanization. Traditionally a metaphor of escape, the global suburb has become the epicentre of zoonotic transmission, infection through travel, and community spread. Against this background, we point out that where the virus is, you find the peripheral, in the city and in society. In this reflection, we sketch the challenges and potentialities of the landscape of care in the urban periphery in Toronto, Canada and Milan/Lombardy, Italy during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Moving forward, we need to ask multi-scalar, cross-disciplinary questions and focus on inequities in our social and spatial peripheries.
Aging-in-place and the spatial distribution of older adult vulnerability in Canada
Authors: Channer Natalie S. , Hartt Maxwell , Biglieri Samantha
Published: September 2024

Rapid population aging is underway across the entirety of Canada. With the proportion of older adults increasing and the majority of the older generation planning to age in place, understanding how older adult vulnerability differs spatially is paramount to developing targeted policy interventions and creating a more age-friendly society. Our study examines the locational differences of older adult vulnerability through statistical and spatial analysis. A nationwide neighbourhood analysis of Canada (n = 55,003) found that older adult vulnerability differs considerably in urban, suburban, and rural neighbourhoods. Rural areas have the highest proportion of older adults, whereas urban areas are far more diverse. Spatial analysis of neighbourhoods in Toronto (n = 3702) identified clusters of older adult vulnerability. The findings highlight opportunities to target aging-in-place health, social, and built environment initiatives to support Canadians as they age.
Prepared for the silver tsunami? An examination of municipal old-age dependency and age-friendly policy in Ontario, Canada
Authors: Hartt Maxwell , Biglieri Samantha
Published: September 2024

In many countries, the proportion of older adults (over 65 years of age) is increasing. Such changes in population challenge the viability of economic systems, because older citizens are dependent on a smaller working population. The World Health Organization developed the age-friendly cities framework and corresponding certification system to encourage local municipalities to develop their own policies to support their aging population. This paper explores the relationship between population aging in individual municipalities and the policy response (or lack thereof) in Ontario, Canada. Our demographic analysis found that old-age dependency is expected to rise in every Ontario municipality, regardless of size. Small municipalities are expected to experience the most severe increases in old-age dependency and are least likely to have started any community level planning for older adults. In addition to the demographic and policy analysis, we outline recommendations on how to encourage municipalities to support their aging populations.

Tools for the Trade – JAPA Takeaway: Dementia-Friendly Public Participation
Authors: Biglieri Samantha
Published: September 2024

More than 50 million people worldwide are living with dementia — a number that is set to nearly double every 20 years, says Alzheimer's Disease International.

People living with dementia (PLWD), like other individuals with disabilities, have the right to be included in the communities in which they live. Unfortunately, the stigma of dementia, often perpetuated by misconceptions of "capacity" or "losing oneself," causes PLWD to be thought of as passive care recipients rather than citizens with voices to be heard, including in public participation in planning. The result is exclusionary built environments and community programing.

In some time series, especially financial time series, the high/low frequency sometimes occurs in short time scale, or for a specific period, the phenomena happen such that not observed in the rest of the time series; in the situation, decomposition of the time series into constitutive series can be very useful ,because  the wavelet transform has the ability to transform the time series into low-and-high-frequency information, which allows detecting trends, breakdown points, and discontinuities in the data that may it is lost when other analysis methods are used. to cope with non-stationary time series forecasting and with the aim  of  improving the forecasting accuracy of the volatility pattern in exchange rates , we use the wavelet transform with hybridization methodology to build a hybrid model combining Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT), Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), GJR- GARCH model and Radial Basis Function Neural Network(RBFNN) model, so that it is  capable of capturing the volatility in financial time series, by applying it to the Chinese Yuan exchange rate for the period ( 2015/1/5 to 2022/11/11)  , where the wavelet transform technique provides a useful feature based on data analysis, which improves the performance of the model.  The time series of exchange rates were analyzed into their (approximation and detailed) coefficients at three levels using the Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT). The experimental results of this research demonstrate that the proposed model has a higher prediction accuracy than the single models (SVR and RBFNN) and other hybrid models (MODWT-ARIMA-GJR-GARCH-SVR and ARIMA-GJR-GARCH).

A Linear Programming Method for Finding the Critical Path and the Desired Time to Complete the Project
Authors: Shaker Salman* Muna
Published: September 2024

The Nineveh Grain Store project is considered one of the important projects in the Ministry of Commerce/General Company for Grain Trade in general and Nineveh Governorate in particular. The research problem focused on the fact that many projects are slow and not completed on time, and the reason is the lack of keeping pace with the technological development of developed countries at the present time, which leads to delaying the duration of project completion, and this in turn leads to high costs and thus failure to complete the project on time.The main objective of this research is to use the Linear Programming (LP) method to formulate two mathematical models: the first is to obtain the project completion time (critical Path (CP)) for the Nineveh in normal time. The second is to build a mathematical model to find the desired time to complete the project in the crash time.​ The results of solving the mathematical model using the program (Win Q.S.b V2) demonstrated the efficiency and accuracy of this mathematical method and the program used and their importance in scheduling projects in general and the Nineveh Grain store project in particular in light of achieving the project goal and making the optimal decision.

Published: September 2024

Foreign reserves are important in supporting the local currency, as the Iraqi economy maintained an optimal level of foreign reserves and the(CB) contributed to sterilizing the money supply, confronting the increasing spending of the Ministry of Finance, and maintaining the stability of the local currency exchange rate, as the study aimed to analyze the impact The window on inflation rates, which is one of the direct tools used by monetary policy. The problem of the study is that rentier economies suffer from weak transmission and effectiveness of traditional channels, so the window for selling foreign currency must be followed. The study concluded that the (CBI) maintained an optimal level of foreign reserves, The monetary sterilization mechanism achieved positive and acceptable results despite the many increases in government spending, and the Central Bank was able to eliminate the pluralism in exchange rates and gradually reduce inflation rates. After inflation was recording an increase of 53.1% in 2006, the Central Bank was able To reduce it to (6%) in (2021) And the results of the econometric analysis showed that there is a direct relationship and cointegration between foreign reserves and the window for selling foreign currency, as the value of (Bounds test) reached (8.1621).

Published: September 2024

Oil is considered important and dominant part in the world of energy, especially industrialized and emerging countries, in terms of solidity and production, and it is difficult to dispense with it, especially in the transportation sector. Oil and gas played an important role in pushing the economic movement forward, throughout history, and despite its importance, it is considered largest part of environmental pollutant, most developed countries have begun to search for renewable energy of various types for security, economic, and environmental reasons, despite its high cost compared to fossil fuels.
The aim of the research was to identify global expectations for renewable and non-renewable energy sources, and also to identify the repercussions of renewable energy sources on traditional ones, including Iraq, which depends entirely on oil. The study proved through the hypothesis that the role of oil will not decrease in the global energy balance for the coming decades despite the pressures. "The economic, environmental and renewable energy competition is directed towards the depleted resource for that the biggest role will be for gas as well."
The research reached several results: “Oil will not be depleted tomorrow,” despite the pressures towards this depleted resource, especially this problem facing the producing countries, and Iraq is part of these countries. Accordingly, Iraq, as a producer of oil and gas, must take practical steps to reduce dependence on oil and move towards alternatives and develop them. By investing in its oil industry and developing it to promote renewable energy that is complementary in the short term and an alternative in the long term, that is, searching for environmentally friendly sources to reduce the phenomenon of pollution, taking into account that the world will abandon fossil fuels in the future, according to Hubbert’s theory, or alternative sources must be replaced Protecting its economy, diversifying its sources, legislating laws, increasing investment, and exploiting its geographical location, which enjoys a comparative advantage, in exploiting renewable energy.

The Effect of Organizational Citizenship Behaviour on Public Service Motivation: An Analytical Research in The Companies Registration Department at The Ministry of Trade
Authors: Kamil Ezzi Al- Bayati* Samar , Hasson Al-Taie Ali
Published: September 2024

This study aims to test the influence of organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) as an independent variable on public service motivation (PSM) as a dependent variable within the Companies Registration Department, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Trade. Data collection encompassed responses from 140 participants, spanning departmental managers, section heads, unit leaders, and staff members, obtained through a comprehensive questionnaire. The ensuing data analysis employed a descriptive-analytical approach, incorporating various statistical methodologies, such as mean computation, standard deviation, simple linear regression, and others, facilitated by statistical software packages such as (SPSS). Contrary to initial expectations, the research results negate the hypotheses and indicate a statistically significant relationship between these variables, as organizational citizenship behaviour positively affects public service motivation.

Ethical dilemma in dietetics: Should dieticians engage in paid partnerships?
Authors: Twomey Aoife
Published: September 2024

With global shifts towards social media as a new way of communicating and receiving information, medical fields must adapt to trends, to maximise reach for providing accurate, evidence-based advice to the general public and call out or clarify mis-information that can be potentially harmful. We have seen instances of mis-information causing harm in the past. Wellness influencers like Belle Gibson promote dangerous pseudoscience as a cure for disease, where an Australian cookbook author faked having cancer to convince her followers that she cured it through healthy eating habits and exercise. Similarly, in Ireland we have seen The Happy Pear influencers making factually incorrect claims on reducing breast cancer risk. Scandals like these confirm the need for healthcare services and professionals to have a strong social media presence, to monitor and counter unqualified, inaccurate health advice that is rampant throughout the internet. It is critical that social media is used ethically and professionally, to represent dietetics as a profession and field of scientific study.
Der prolongierte Rücktritt in der Lebensversicherung
Authors: Rebhahn Robert
Published: September 2024

Besteht ein unbefristetes Rücktrittsrecht in der Lebensversicherung? § 165a VersVG gibt Versicherungsnehmern von Lebensversicherungsverträgen in Umsetzung europarechtlicher Vorgaben ein voraussetzungsloses Rücktrittsrecht. 2013 entschied der EuGH in der deutschen Rechtssache Endress, dass ein Erlöschen dieses Rechts spätestens ein Jahr nach der ersten Prämienzahlung europarechtswidrig ist, wenn keine Belehrung über das Recht zum Rücktritt erfolgte. Der BGH entwickelte seither eine detaillierte Judikatur zu den Voraussetzungen und Rechtsfolgen eines unbefristeten Widerrufsrechts. Die bislang einzige OGH-Entscheidung 7 Ob 107/15h zum Thema "Spätrücktritt in der Lebensversicherung" stützt sich auf die EuGH-Urteile Endress und Hamilton, lässt jedoch viele Fragen offen. Das hat in der Praxis zu großer Unsicherheit geführt. In dieser Arbeit wird analysiert, in welchen Fällen und wie lange ein Rücktrittsrecht bei fehlender oder fehlerhafter Belehrung auf europarechtlicher Grundlage bestehen muss.
