Intervention Development for Tailored Education for Aging and Cognitive Health (TEACH) for Dementia Prevention in Midlife Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Korthauer Laura E , Rosen Rochelle K , Tremont Geoffrey , Davis Jennifer D
Published: July 2024

Background

A total of 12 modifiable risk factors account for 40% of dementia cases globally, yet population adherence to health behaviors associated with these factors is low. Midlife is a critical window for dementia prevention, as brain pathology often begins to accumulate years or decades before the onset of symptoms. Although multidomain behavioral interventions have been efficacious in reducing the risk of cognitive decline, adherence is low. Intrapersonal factors, such as health beliefs, are known mediators of the relationship between knowledge and health behavior.

Objective

In keeping with stage I of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stage Model for Behavioral Intervention Development, this study will use mixed methods to (1) develop an enhanced health education intervention, including an explanatory method for communicating information about dementia risk and personal health beliefs, and (2) conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (n=20 per intervention arm) over 8 weeks to assess the feasibility of delivering the enhanced intervention versus basic health education alone.

Methods

Phase 1 will involve focus groups and individual qualitative interviews. Focus groups will be analyzed using (1) a descriptive framework matrix analysis and (2) interpretive data review by the research team. Individual qualitative interviews will be coded using applied thematic analysis using a phenomenographic approach. Phase 2 will involve a pilot randomized controlled trial. Proximal outcomes (measured at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks) include the perceived threat of Alzheimer disease, dementia awareness, and self-efficacy.

Results

This project was funded in August 2022. Data collection began in 2023 and is projected to be completed in 2025.

Conclusions

Study findings will reveal the feasibility of delivering an 8-week multidomain health education intervention for primary prevention of dementia in midlife and will provide preliminary evidence of mechanisms of change.

The Role of English Language Newspapers in Language Improvement
Authors: Haileab Isaias , - Wangmo
Published: July 2024

This article explores the role that English language newspapers play in the improvement of English language. Even though English language newspapers are or may not be primarily designed to improve linguistic skills of learners, there are many ways by which a second-language learner can benefit from them. The newspapers have a variety of columns, ranging from news, views, articles, games, and so on, that are very interesting to the daily lives of readers. At the same time, the newspapers are prepared in such a way that they pass through a rigorous process of editing in terms of the verifiability of their stories and the linguistic formality of their sentences and paragraphs. The newspapers use a wide variety of word class vocabularies, phrases, idioms, and expressions to give metaphorical meanings to their stories. To the English language learner who reads those newspapers on a continuous basis and is given assignments by teachers to discuss, debate, have conversation, and answer comprehension questions from them, the linguistic benefits are enormous. This article explains how learners would be able to boost their vocabulary, reading skills, listening skills, as well as speaking abilities by using English language newspapers.

Published: July 2024

resistance is increasingly becoming a prominent global public health and developmental concern. The primary aim of this study is to synthesize metal complexes with superior antimicrobial properties.
Methods: The Schiff base ligand (E)-N'-(1-thiophen-2-yl) ethylidene isonicotinohydrazide was synthesized by reacting isonicotinohydrazide (INH) with 2-acetylthiophene. This Schiff base was utilized to synthesize metal complexes with copper (II), nickel (II), and cobalt (II) ions via the reflux method. The ligand and metal complexes were characterized using various physicochemical techniques, including elemental analysis, conduct metric studies, magnetic susceptibility, FT‐IR, 1H NMR, ESI-MS, and electronic spectral analysis.
Results: All complexes were successfully characterized. The Ni-complex demonstrated the highest cytotoxicity in the brine shrimp lethality bioassay compared to the Cu and Co-complexes. The Ni and Cu-complexes exhibited greater antibacterial efficacy against all bacteria, while the Co-complex showed no activity.
Conclusion: The newly synthesized complexes proved to be highly stable, displaying significant antimicrobial potential. These findings suggest that future modifications to this synthesized series could address specific pharmaceutical needs.
Colonial Resistance and Cultural Revival: Insights from African Postcolonial Writings
Authors: Panda Asit
Published: July 2024

The impact of colonization on native cultural life, modernization, and anticolonial nationalism led African writers to reflect on colonial encounters and their effects on social, economic, and cultural aspects. They felt tension between traditional and colonial values, seeking to re-discover cultural roots. Through a critical evaluation of the significant works by key African postcolonial writers such as Cyprian Ekwensi, D. O. Fagunwa, J. P. Clark, Ngugi wa Thiongo, Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, and others, this article seeks to explore how these African authors have dealt with the issue of colonial encounter in their writings. The focus is also on highlighting how these African authors have voiced their opposition to colonial legacies and have actively engaged in the resuscitation and celebration of local customs and cultural heritage through their writings in the postcolonial era. This research highlights the significant role that literature has in creating and expressing postcolonial African consciousness by analysing topics such as resistance, identity, tradition, and cultural pride. The study also examines how these literary contributions have actively questioned and dismantled colonial narratives, creating an opportunity for the genuine voices of African nations to emerge and thrive.

Authors: Panda Asit
Published: July 2024

The educational landscape of India has undergone a substantial transformation as a result of the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020, which has significantly transformed India's educational landscape. The National Education Policy 2020 has accounted for the illiterate segment of the Indian population, implementing novel strategies to educate them. This is in addition to the numerous innovative proposals that have been taken into consideration for the development of school education and higher education in India. This strategy has accurately recognized the crucial roles that adult education and lifelong learning play in an individual's development and the advancement of society. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 places emphasis on the relevance of these two forms of education to remove the evil of illiteracy from India's society, thereby facilitating the country's progress towards becoming a developed nation. The objective of this article is to analyze the vision of the policy, the tactics for the effective execution of the policy, and the potential effects that the policy may have on the community and the citizens of the area. In addition, the purpose of this article is to highlight the most significant potential obstacles that might stand in the way of the successful implementation of the goal of National Education Policy 2020 for adult education and lifelong learning.
Educar desde la literatura para la equidad con perspectiva de género
Authors: Dromundo Amores Rita
Published: July 2024

La manera en cómo se conciben los géneros y sus roles en una cultura determina el desempeño de la sociedad o grupo pertenecientes a dicha cultura. Un claro ejemplo de ello fue el incremento de la desigualdad de género en México durante la pandemia de COVID-19, la cual tuvo un importante impacto en la salud, el trabajo y el desempeño académico de las mujeres. Ellas estuvieron más expuestas a enfermarse por ser las encargadas de cuidar y alimentar a quienes enfermaban, a las infancias y a las personas adultas mayores, así como por tener que ocuparse de las tareas del hogar. Eso propició que muchas de ellas descuidaran su salud e incluso fueran víctimas de violencia. 
Consideramos que esa falta de equidad es resultado de la manera en que se nos educa y de la cultura a la que pertenecemos. Se requiere hacer conciencia de ello y favorecer los cambios necesarios al respecto. Una importante contribución que pueden hacer quienes ejercen la docencia es elegir y analizar con perspectiva de género los materiales que emplean, así como formar personas lectoras críticas y empáticas, para crear una sociedad más justa. En este artículo presentamos ejemplos para llevar a cabo el análisis de textos narrativos a partir de ese criterio.

Aproximaciones al conocimiento indígena desde las milpas educativas
Authors: Sartorello Stefano Claudio
Published: July 2024

En el marco de los debates sobre la incorporación del conocimiento indígena en los procesos escolares, se analiza la creación y la apropiación por parte de un colectivo docente de educación indígena de una herramienta metodológica: el “cuadro del conocimiento indígena”, que tiene el propósito de coadyuvar a identificar y sistematizar los saberes, haceres, decires, sentires y valores indígenas relacionados con una actividad social comunitaria. Luego de explicar la metodología etnográfica colaborativa que sustentó el estudio, se caracteriza étnicamente a los docentes indígenas participantes por medio de testimonios de vida y, posteriormente, se analiza el proceso de acompañamiento realizado. Se definen los principios epistémicos y pedagógicos que sustentan el cuadro y se explica su estructura y operación, señalando fortalezas y áreas de oportunidad de su apropiación por los docentes. Se destacan los aportes del estudio para el campo de la educación intercultural y sus perspectivas a futuro.

Authors: Pascual Kuziurina Irene
Published: July 2024

La migración en México es un fenómeno complejo que plantea desafíos políticos, sociológicos y jurídicos significativos. Entre los retos más acuciantes se encuentra la defensa de los derechos humanos de los migrantes a través de la interposición de juicios de amparo indirecto contra la detención ilegal y la deportación, donde el Poder Judicial de la Federación desempeña un papel crucial en la protección de los mismos. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo general analizar cómo se desenvuelve el litigio en materia migratoria en México y las dificultades a los que nos enfrentamos los abogados litigantes. La metodología utilizada se basa en un enfoque descriptivo mediante el análisis-síntesis. Como conclusión, destaco la necesidad de fortalecer los mecanismos institucionales para lograr una protección más efectiva de los derechos humanos de los migrantes y consolidar el Estado de Derecho en México.
Constitucionalidad del Acceso a Información Bancaria sin Control Judicial previo
Authors: Ruiz Gordillo Franklin Martín , González Martínez María Iracema Cristal
Published: July 2024

El secreto bancario, como principio fundamental en el ámbito financiero, se erige como un mecanismo de protección de la privacidad de las personas en relación con sus operaciones y datos financieros; sin embargo, en el contexto legal mexicano, este derecho se ve vulnerado por disposiciones como el artículo 142, fracción I, de la Ley de Instituciones de Crédito, que permiten el acceso a información bancaria sin autorización judicial previa.
 
La solicitud de información bancaria realizada por la Fiscalía General de la República a la Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, sin la intervención de un juez, constituye una violación directa al derecho a la vida privada de los ciudadanos, este accionar se basa en una disposición legal que faculta a las autoridades a obtener información bancaria para fines penales sin el debido control judicial, contraviniendo así los principios constitucionales de protección de datos personales y garantías individuales. La justificación de esta declaración de inconstitucionalidad radica en la importancia de garantizar un equilibrio entre la lucha contra el delito y la protección de los derechos individuales, por lo que es importante estudiar los estándares constitucionales que regulan al secreto bancario como sujeto de estudio frente a las disposiciones del artículo 142 de la Ley de Instituciones de Crédito.

Moledor argues that the efforts of these specifically Jewish groups in Cleveland were largely successful in raising Holocaust awareness, and turns to the widely debated question of why it took the United States so long to aid Europe during the Holocaust.
Pierre Trudeau’s White Paper and the Struggle for Aboriginal Rights in Canada: An Analysis of the Extent to which the White Paper was a Turning Point in the Struggle for Aboriginal Rights and Land Claims in Canada
Authors: Kerr Elisabetta A.
Published: July 2024

This paper contends that Pierre Trudeau’s 1969 “White Paper” on the status of Aboriginals in Canada was not a major turning point in improving the status of Aboriginals in Canada, but succeeded in inspiring activism and interest in the plight of Canada’s First Nations. The policy attempted to redefine the Canadian government’s relationship with its Aboriginal peoples, expressing the centrality of the government in Aboriginal affairs and reinforcing its obliviousness to the needs of Canada’s First Nations. The White Paper proposed to remove “Indian Status” for Aboriginals, and as a result was vehemently rejected. The effects of the proposed revocation of Status Indians persisted through the social activism and awareness that it inspired. This paper traces the development British- Aboriginal relations following the fall of New France. Diplomacy and treaty-making in the prelude to the White Paper will be considered, along with the changing conception of “Indian Status” throughout Canadian history. Thus, this paper argues that although the White Paper was a necessary step in the realization of the dire condition of Aboriginals in Canada, it did not provoke any lasting government policies that recognized absolute Aboriginal rights and liberties.
Educação em direito para a consolidação da cidadania: análise hermenêutica pela ótica do artigo 3º da lei de introdução às normas do direito brasileiro acerca da relação entre conhecer e poder praticar
Authors: Ribeiro Leonardo Jensen
Published: July 2024

Como é possível compreender o Direito sem uma educação formal para tal ciência? O livro, que parte da tese de doutorado do autor, trabalha a ideia de que a presunção de conhecimento absoluto e impossibilidade de invocar desconhecimento, que trata o artigo 3º da Lei de Introdução às Normas do Direito Brasileiro não pode ter validade na atualidade. Isso porque não se ensina Direito na educação fundamental, nem na média, muito menos em cursos superiores que se afastem da grande área. E o mínimo de noção e compreensão só é possível de ser adquirido dessa forma. Não se pode presumir que o cidadão possua em sua casa uma Constituição Federal e mais um compêndio de leis e faça a leitura semanal para atualização, bem como das decisões superiores e jurisprudências. Portanto, há um clamor para que o ensino jurídico amplo seja abordado desde os anos de formação mais básicos, com níveis de complexidade distintos, para aí sim poder se invocar um conhecimento, ainda que básico, de uma ciência complexa e absolutamente única como o Direito. Conhecer e estudar Direito é conhecer a própria convivência singular, familiar ou comunitária, as interações com os órgãos e saber de deveres e poderes que muitas vezes são desconhecidos. É empoderar a vida para maior qualidade e fruição, para poder exigir e saber reclamar de maneira qualificada, afastando o sujeito das notícias falsas e dos lugares comuns errôneos comumente utilizados. O livro quer que todos se juntem nessa missão, e a compreensão seja ampla, não existe idade mínima ou máxima para aprender Direito, nem tempo definido ou delimitado. O que deve existir é vontade de conhecer o ensino jurídico, de saber participar da vida em sociedade e de entender que todos têm seu lugar, ainda que, por ora, tantos não saibam reivindicá-lo.

discurso e o ensino no campo da linguagem e a formação dos sujeitos aprendentes
Authors: Domingues Gleyds Silva , Cunha Kátia Silva
Published: July 2024

O objetivo deste ensaio é discutir a inserção da docência no campo discursivo e como ela é apreendida pelos sujeitos aprendentes, uma vez que é recoberta por códigos que precisam ser significados e ressignificados nas práticas sociais. Para este estudo, inicialmente, contaremos com as contribuições teóricas de Fairclough, Orlandi, Perisse, Sacristán e Pérez Gómez, entre outros. Parte-se da premissa de que o ensino não é um processo neutro e, portanto, sua ação pode resultar na manutenção ou transformação de uma realidade. É de extrema importância para a formação dos sujeitos aprendentes e, quando localizada na forma de prática discursiva, pode ser ministrada para a acomodação dos sentidos ou para seu aperfeiçoamento. O ensino é a fonte que lança as palavras e, com total segurança, elas podem mudar a história, e porque não o dizer, consequentemente, mudar o homem em suas relações consigo mesmo, com os outros e com o mundo.

Published: July 2024

Digital human capital management (HCM) has emerged as a pivotal strategy in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region’s pursuit of modernizing and optimizing workforce management practices. This article examines the growing dynamics of digital transformation within the GCC’s human resources landscape. This transformation transcends conventional human resource (HR) practices, ushering in the rapid evolution of digital HCM. The thematic analysis results reveal two main strategies for HR/HC managers to employ digital transformation, categorized into primary themes and sub-themes. Critical areas impacted include human capital (HC), recruitment and selection (R&S), learning and development (L&D), compensation and benefits (C&B), organizational development (OD), performance management (PM), and employee relations (ER). Specific results include the use of technology for workforce prediction, acceleration of planning procedures through human capital management systems (HCMS), and advanced tools such as psychographic assessments and online simulations for candidate screening. This study underlines the transformative impact of digital HCM in the GCC, while highlighting challenges such as resistance to change, digital skills gaps, and data security concerns, providing a comprehensive assessment of digital transformation efforts in the GCC, and offering insights into strategies and outcomes of digital HCM implementation in the region.

ENERGY INDEPENDENT CITIES? INVESTMENT ACTIVITY OF CITIES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EU CO-FINANCED PROJECTS IN RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND ITS CONDITIONS IN POLAND
Authors: Kozera Agnieszka , Standar Aldona
Published: July 2024

Aim: The main objective of the paper is to evaluate the scale, scope, and significance of investments in renew­able energy sources by cities in Poland, which were co-financed from EU funds. This assessment will focus on the last two multiannual financial frameworks, namely for the years 2007–2013 and 2014–2020. Methods: Empirical studies were conducted based on data from the database of the Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy in Poland, the Local Data Bank, and the Ministry of Finance. When investigating the invest­ment activity of towns and cities related to renewable energy sources, basic descriptive statistics methods were applied. Logistic regression was used to identify the primary socio-economic, financial, and environmental conditions. Results: In the analyzed period, the role of towns and cities in the realization of renewable energy projects increased, although it is still relatively limited compared to other types of administrative communes. In the multiannual financial framework for 2007–2013, less than one in ten cities executed at least one project, while in the years 2014–2020, more than one in four cities realized at least one project related to the develop­ment of renewable energy sources supported by EU funds. The disparity in activity between towns and cities on a regional scale was huge. These investments were more often realized by towns and cities with a lower level of development, serving tourist functions, and experienced in carrying out such investments. Their lower investment activity was influenced by their level of indebtedness. Conclusions: So far, one of the main drivers behind the development of renewable energy in urban areas has been the ecological aspect, particularly the improvement of air quality. However, there is now a growing recognition of the importance of energy security.
Distribucija kao marketinska kategorija u funkciji plasmana nedrvnih sumskih proizvoda u Srbiji
Authors: Marceta Milica , Keca Ljiljana
Published: July 2024

The paper examines the role of distribution, as an instrument of the
marketing mix, in companies dealing with the purchase, processing, and
marketing of non-wood forest products (NWFPs) in the territory of Serbia.
Considering the specificity of NWFPs, choosing appropriate sales channels
for delivery to customers is of great importance. Primarily for perishable
and unprocessed products, such as forest fruits (wild raspberries,
blackberries, blueberries, etc.), but also different types of mushrooms
(boletus, chanterelles), fast and effi?cient distribution channels are
imperative in the context of product quality preservation. In this sense,
the research included 49 companies from the territory of Serbia, which
operate in the field of NWFPs. For the research, a questionnaire was created
with 29 questions related to the marketing mix, and the organization of
distribution flows in the analyzed companies. The period considered includes
the period 2008-2017. The goal of the research was focused on the role of
distribution in the analyzed companies, as well as the identification of
factors that contribute to decisions regarding its forms and way of
organization.
Contribution to methods and techniques of scientific research: Order of writing the parts of the structure of a scientific research report
Authors: Rankovic Nenad
Published: July 2024

After presenting the structure of the report on scientific research, it is
necessary to become familiar with the order of writing the parts defined in
this way. At the same time, it should be noted that the parts are written
separately and in a different order from the one in which they are arranged
in the final form of the report. It is not expedient and effective to write
from the beginning to the end (from the introduction to the appendix) or
vice versa. A special problem is the exchange of written parts with the
mentor, the text is usually written and submitted in parts, so that while
the mentor reads one part, the candidate writes an?other. This significantly
speeds up the process of compiling the final version of the report. In this
sense, it has been shown in practice that the most practical order of
writing is as follows: Results, Methods and Techniques, Discussion,
Conclusions, Introduction and Appendices. The list of used literary sources
is compiled during those stages of writing where references to sources are

An analysis of cache configuration’s impacts on the miss rate of big data applications using gem5
Authors: Dave Hetal , Kotak Nirali
Published: July 2024

This work aims to analyze the impacts of cache configurations on miss rates
of big data benchmarks with varying level 1 instruction (L1I) and data (L1D)
caches using the gem5 simulator. The cache miss rate of nine big data
applications from four benchmark suits is analyzed with different cache
configurations, such as increasing the cache size, varying the
associativity, and altering the line size. The gem5 provides a versatile
platform for conducting detailed experiments. The study sheds light on the
relationship between cache and big data workloads, thus offering insights
into optimizing cache configurations? effect on miss rates for improved
performance.

Published: July 2024

Objective: Individuals with diabetes who carry genetic variants that lower hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) independently of glycemia may have higher real, but undetected, hyperglycemia compared to those without these variants despite achieving similar HbA1c targets, potentially placing them at greater risk for diabetes-related complications. We sought to determine whether these genetic variants, aggregated in a polygenic score, and the large-effect African-ancestry specific missense variant in G6PD (rs1050828) that lower HbA1c were associated with higher retinopathy risk.

Research Design and Methods: Using data from 29,828 type 2 diabetes cases of genetically inferred African-American/African-British and European ancestries, we calculated ancestry-specific nonglycemic HbA1c polygenic scores (ngA1cPS) composed of 122 variants associated with HbA1c at genome-wide significance, but not with glucose. We tested the association of the ngA1cPS and the G6PD variant with retinopathy, adjusting for measured HbA1c and retinopathy risk factors.

Results: Participants in the bottom quintile of the ngA1cPS showed between 20 to 50% higher retinopathy prevalence, compared to those above this quintile, despite similar levels of measured HbA1c. The adjusted meta-analytic odds ratio for the bottom quintile was 1.31 (95% CI 1.0, 1.73; p=0.05) in African ancestry and 1.31 (95% CI 1.15, 1.50; p=6.5x10-5) in European ancestry. Among individuals of African ancestry with HbA1c below 7%-units, retinopathy prevalence was higher in individuals below, compared to above, the 50th percentile of the ngA1cPS regardless of sex or G6PD carrier status

Conclusions: Genetic effects need to be considered to personalize HbA1c targets and improve outcomes of people with diabetes from diverse ancestries.
Deutsches Ghosthunting — Historischer Überblick und Einblicke einer Insiderin
Authors: Nowara Sonja , Mayer Gerhard
Published: July 2024

Ghost hunting is a leisure activity for amateur researchers. The fascination with the supernatural is a driving force behind them using technical equipment to visit allegedly haunted buildings or ruins at weekends and carry out so-called “paranormal investigations.” The data collected with various measuring devices is examined for anomalies that are not compatible with conventional explanations and compared with subjective perceptions. This article consists of two parts. The first part provides a brief overview of the history of haunting investigations. Furthermore, some social and cultural studies on the current form of ghost hunting as it appears in the 21st century in the USA, Great Britain and Germany are presented. In the second part, co-author Sonja Nowara, an active ghosthunter, offers an insight into the activities of ghosthunters as well as observations of the scene from the perspective of a well-informed insider, taking into account more recent developments such as the increasing commercialization of some parts of the scene.
Brain Death and the Role of the Anaesthesiologist: A Review
Authors: NS Akshaya
Published: July 2024

Brain death is a critical and complex diagnosis in the medical field, necessitating precise and methodical evaluation. Anaesthesiologists play a pivotal role in this process, ensuring that the determination of brain death is accurate and ethically sound. This review examines the criteria and protocols for diagnosing brain death, the physiological and clinical challenges involved, and the crucial contributions of anaesthesiologists. We discuss the integration of neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies, the management of potential confounders such as intoxication or hypothermia, and the importance of maintaining homeostasis in potential organ donors. The involvement of anaesthesiologists in organ donation procedures, including maintaining optimal organ function and coordinating with transplant teams, is also explored. By highlighting the multi-faceted responsibilities of anaesthesiologists in the context of brain death, this review underscores their essential role in ensuring that diagnoses are made with the highest degree of accuracy and ethical consideration.

This article lists three states – the United Kingdom, France, and Portugal – among the eight most secure in the cyber environment, with the aim of answering the following question: How have they organized themselves to contain threats arising from cyberspace? And what are the similarities and differences between the strategies adopted? To this end, five categories of analysis guide a systematic and contextualized comparison, based mainly on primary sources and official documents. In the end, it is possible to understand how the three countries face what is today considered one of the priority threats to economies and national security, in addition to the structures created in each of them and the sectors and actors involved in the implementation of their strategies.
Consciência situacional como ferramenta estratégica da defesa cibernética
Authors: Alcântara da Silva André Lucas , Vilar-Lopes Gills
Published: July 2024

The technological growth of the last decades has changed the way many sectors of society and the state carry out their respective activities. The defense sector is part of this framework due to its essentially technological nature. With these changes, discussions began about phenomena known as ‘cyberspace’, ‘cyber power’, and ‘cyber domain’. Because cyberspace permeates and can even influence the other operational domains (sea, land, air, and space), having the right knowledge of cyberspace – both one’s own and that of one’s adversaries – has become a competitive advantage in interstate conflicts. This knowledge is called situational awareness, a concept conceived in the 1980's by Mica Endsley, then Chief Scientist of the United States Air Force, and which can be defined as the ability to perceive and understand activities in a given time and space and to predict the future evolution of the situation. This concept can be unfolded in the cyber domain, giving rise to the socalled cyber situational awareness, which generally means the full knowledge of the actions occurring in the cyber space of interest. Thus, this article aims to elucidate the strategic role of cyber situational awareness, identifying the theories and models of its emerging concept and, subsequently, its developments in military strategy.
Determinants of Financing Constraints: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Wen Meini
Published: July 2024

Financing constraints are difficulties and limitations a company encounters in obtaining the capital for investment and operations. Financing Constraints may cause negative effects, including restricting corporate growth, reducing production efficiency, increasing financial risk, and undermining financial stability. As a result, this study aims to review the determinants of Financing Constraints in order to provide better financing options, optimise corporate governance, and enhance risk management by mitigating Financing Constraints. In this study, the Scopus database is adopted to collect 360 pieces of empirical journal articles from 1993 to 2024. Furthermore, VOSviewer software and R studio software are adopted to conduct bibliometric analysis. Consequently, the result shows that innovation, digital finance, sustainable development, emission control, firm financial characteristics, R&D, uncertainty, and supply chain management are the common determinants for influencing Financing constraints. Hence, this study is expected to provide insights for researchers to recognise the literature gaps and provide accordance for policymakers and practitioners to mitigate financing constraints.
