Authors: Maisarah Hamizan  , Noor Hidayah Abu  , Mohd Fitri Mansor  , Mohd Azian Zaidi
Published: September 2023

Companies make use of various strategies in order to attract new customers, retain existing customers, and differentiate their products from those of their competitors. Apple Inc. is a multinational technology company headquartered in Cupertino, California. The company specializes in consumer devices, software, and online services. Apple is the most valuable firm in the world, the fourth-largest vendor of personal computers by unit sales, and the second-largest producer of mobile phones as of May 2022. The iPhone is a product with a strong reputation. Apple has always maintained product quality and continuously made innovations. The iPhone has a unique design, and in view of that, the model is too expensive compared to other mobile phones. Although the price is expensive, demand for the iPhone still increases from time to time. The aim of this research is to understand the factors behind iPhone purchase decisions. An investigation has been conducted to evaluate the relationship between price and quality on customer buying patterns for an iPhone. This study will adopt quantitative methods, and data collection has been conducted through online questionnaire distribution. The target respondents in this study are STML students, and the overall population of STML was 1645 students; thus, the sample size for the study should be 310 respondents. The cluster sampling technique has been used in this study. In this study, a total of 340 respondents were received, and there are 27 missing values in the data set. However, only 313 respondents are valid for the data analysis. Findings revealed that price and quality have a significant effect on the buying pattern of an iPhone. Lastly, this study discusses the limitations of the study and its conclusion.
Métamorphoses d’une mémoire en fragments : la deuxième guerre punique en Hispanie d’après Cicéron, Valère Maxime et Ammien Marcellin
Authors: Cahanier Simon
Published: September 2023

Cet article propose d’étudier la mémoire culturelle romaine de la deuxième guerre punique en Hispanie (218‑206) à travers trois corpus d’exempla relevés dans les œuvres de Cicéron, Valère Maxime et Ammien Marcellin. L’extrême fragmentation de la mémoire en multiples vignettes apparemment décontextualisées et leur dispersion dans des contextes argumentatifs variés n’interdit en effet pas la reconstitution d’une vision globale homogène du conflit. L’analyse de ces corpus permet de mettre en évidence que ces trois auteurs ont procédé à une sélection originale de personnages et d’épisodes et ont porté sur ces événements un regard propre à chacun d’entre eux. Loin de s’être jamais réduite à une série de lieux communs, comme on pourrait le croire sur la base de l’étude de la seule tradition historiographique, la mémoire romaine de la guerre d’Hannibal apparaît ainsi dans toute sa diversité.

Published: September 2023

Objetivo: conhecer as percepções das mães frente ao uso de telas por seus filhos, crianças ou adolescentes. Metodologia: trata-se de um estudo descritivo-qualitativo realizado em um município da região Centro-Oeste, Brasil, com mães de crianças e adolescentes que utilizavam telas. Coletou-se dados a partir de entrevistas abertas por videochamadas on-line feitas entre janeiro e março de 2022 com 11 mães selecionadas após busca ativa. Da análise temática de conteúdo resultaram quatro categorias: percepção das mães sobre os impactos provenientes do uso de dispositivos tecnológicos no cotidiano de seus filhos; percepção das mães sobre os impactos oriundos de dispositivos móveis na saúde de seus filhos; conhecer os limites e controle das mães sobre o uso de telas por seus filhos nas atividades rotineiras; percepção das mães sobre como o uso da tecnologia impacta as relações interpessoais de seus filhos. Resultados: os pontos negativos do uso de telas emergem no discurso. As mães identificaram que o uso das telas trouxe para seus filhos problemas de visão, má qualidade do sono, queda no rendimento escolar, irritabilidade, agressividade, entre outras situações. Considerações finais: pode-se identificar que as mães são cientes, em diferentes graus de conhecimento, dos riscos que o uso indiscriminado dos aparelhos eletrônicos pode ocasionar em seus filhos.
Analysis of the quality of bicycle paths and their relationship with bicycle use in Florianópolis
Authors: Valenzuela Alfredo , Lopes Adalberto Aparecido dos Santos , Rescarolli Marcos , Pazin Joris , Rech Cassiano Ricardo
Published: September 2023

Bike lines are important structures in cities to promote active commuting. Thus, understanding the information inherent to its quality can help to understand its effects on human behavior. Assessing the quality of the bike paths in Florianopolis was the goal, using the QualiCiclo instrument and the SOPARC instrument for use profile. A total of 38 axes of cycle paths with 54 km of length were selected, and the qualitative analysis was classified as sufficient, with an overall average of 1.61 points. Observed 6,113 cyclists of which the majority were men, adults and in moderate intensity and better-quality bike paths have a greater number of cyclists (50.5%). Logistic regression analyzes showed that, usually, young people are less likely (OR:0.40; 95%CI: 0.24-0.67) to use bicycle paths classified as “good”. When observed by category, there is a greater chance of women using bike paths that have “good/excellent” quality of infrastructure and “sufficient” and “good/excellent” quality of signage. It is concluded that Florianopolis has an adequate network of cycle paths, however, the distribution of structures and cycle path connection is irregular between the regions of the city. A higher quality of bicycle path structures can promote greater use by women and the elderly, groups that perform less physical activity.

“Emotion Driven or Brain Driven?”: A Study of Motives of Social Entrepreneurs In Sri Lanka Industry: A Review of Literature
Authors: Mudalige D. M.
Published: September 2023

There is a growth in research in entrepreneurship, but little is known about the process of social entrepreneurship. Social entrepreneurship is the process of creating value by combining resources in new ways intended to explore and exploit opportunities to create social value by stimulating social change. This research investigated the motives of social entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka. This research used a conceptual framework comprising of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and perceived feasibility to analyze the antecedents of social entrepreneurial intention in Sri Lanka. A randomly selected sample of 74 social entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structured Equation Modeling(PLS-SEM) method. Results indicate that 68% of the social entrepreneurs are male indicating the traditional gender bias which is common in business entrepreneurship also. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) of social entrepreneurial intention indicated a four-factor loading pattern in contrast to the previous research. The four dimensions of entrepreneurial intention (EI) were named as Social-purpose EI, Profit-seeking EI, Psychological EI and Autonomy EI. This study empirically established that entrepreneurial self-efficacy and perceived feasibility have a significant positive influence on social entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy and perceived feasibility together explained 39% of the variance in social entrepreneurial intention. The outcome of this research will enhance the understanding of social entrepreneurship behavior and will provide valuable insights for policy makers in Sri Lanka.

Are graduate optometrists in South Africa practice ready?
Authors: Putter Tara-Leigh , Munsamy Alvin J. , Van Staden Diane
Published: September 2023

Background: Recent graduates are well-positioned to share their preparedness for practice experiences and how their undergraduate education and training have prepared them for transitioning to the practice environment.Aim: The study aimed to investigate the perceptions and experiences of optometrists who graduated from South African institutions between 2016 and 2020 concerning practice-readiness.Setting: The study was conducted among graduates working in South Africa’s private sector.Methods: This cross-sectional qualitative study used non-probability purposive sampling. Invitations to participate were emailed to all optometrists who met the inclusion criteria. Qualitative data were collected using online semi-structured focus group interviews. Data were anonymised, transcribed, and thematically analysed using interpretive content analysis.Results: Fifteen optometrists participated in three focus group sessions between 14 December 2020 and 24 February 2021. Four major themes emerged, namely university training, post-graduation learning curve, independent practice, and being an optometrist. Overall, participants perceived their clinical education and training to be strong; however, certain areas of weakness were highlighted regarding preparedness for practice.Conclusion: Key areas for strengthening optometry training in South Africa include training optometry students using a flexible approach to the clinical examination routine and increasing clinical exposure opportunities during training. Strengthening courses such as practice management and optical dispensing, both essential for private practice, are also required.Contribution: The findings of this study contribute to the strengthening of optometry education and training in South Africa. This will, in turn, ensure that optometry graduates are adequately equipped to step into the demands of their expected roles within a private practice context upon graduation.
Geometric progression stabilizer in a general metric
Authors: Bogatyi Semeon Antonovich
Published: September 2023

So-called normalized metrics are considered on the set of elements of a geometric progression. A full description of normalized metrics with maximal stabilizer, which is the group of integer degrees of the common ratio of the progression, is presented. Previously, it was known that this group is the stabilizer for the minimal normalized metric (inherited from the real line) and the maximal normalized metric (an intrinsic metric all paths in which pass through zero). The stabilizer of a metric space is understood as the set of positive numbers such that multiplying the metric by this number produces a metric space lying at a finite Gromov-Hausdorff distance from the original space.

Contribuții la îmbunătățirea modului de diferențiere pe specii și sortimente a prețului lemnului pe picior
Authors: Panaite Cristian , Drăgoi Marian
Published: September 2023

Calculul prețului de valorificare a masei lemnoase exploatabile reprezintă una din preocupările constante ale administratorilor de păduri, interesați în vânzarea întregii cantități de masă  lemnoasă pusă în valoare. Nu doar prețurile, dar și sistemul de formare a acestora trebuie să asigure o rentabilitate minimă a fiecărei etape a lanțului de aprovizionare pentru obținerea primului produs finit cu grad ridicat de omogenitate: bușteni, cherestea, plăci aglomerate, furnire, placaje, pastă papetară, lemn de foc.

 

Deocamdată, Regia Autonomă a Pădurilor vinde cu precădere lemn pe picior, prin licitații publice deschise, închise sau electronice,  participanții fiind companii de exploatare forestieră cu atestat valabil, criteriul de adjudecare fiind prețul cel mai mare oferit. O parte din masa lemnoasă este comercializată sub formă de lemn fasonat, în sortiment definitiv, la drum auto forestier sau depozit. Datele utilizate în prezentul articol sunt reprezentate de  rezultatul licitațiilor de masă lemnoasă pe picior organizate de către RNP-Romsilva prin Direcția Silvică Suceava, în perioada 2010-2013, pentru un număr de 1409 partizi în volum brut cumulat de 580.946 m3.

Analizând pur și simplu tranzacțiile cu lemn pe picior și folosind patru regresii multiplicative, liniarizate prin logaritmare, am putut calcula coeficienții valori convenționali pentru molid și brad, într-o manieră relativ simplă, ce reflectă de fapt o situație a pieței pe care agenții economici o sesizează de foarte mult timp: într-un context tehnologic total diferit de cel din trecut, dominat acum de instalații  de debitare capabile să utilizeze eficient orice sortiment de lemn rotund, interesul pentru lemnul foarte gros a scăzut și, normal, și valoarea tehnologică a acestuia

Unravelling trauma, co-creating relief and weaving resilience: Playful
collaborations with children, families and networks
Authors: Vermeire Sabine
Published: September 2023

In times of hardship, talking directly about painful or traumatic
experiences, overwhelming emotions, or problematic actions with children,
young people or families can be difficult. As co-researchers, we invite
children, youngsters and their families and networks to contribute in
playful ways to unravelling the tentacles of hardship and re(dis)covering a
sense of agency, belonging and coherence. Together, we look in unexpected
corners for safe places to build a team of support and solidarity. In
dis-covering a multiplicity of stories rather than being trapped in one
dominant story of trauma or loss, we co-create relief and develop more
coherent storylines that weave the experiences and stories about hardship
into the fabric of their lives.

Reimagining climate equity to incorporate the non-human
Authors: Blitzer Hannah
Published: September 2023

Over time, international environmental law has increasingly accommodated principles of equity and justice. Yet, climate equity remains a contentious, if not exclusionary, concept. This article applies new materialist theory and a posthuman perspective to climate equity. It explores the concept of climate (in)equity as enshrined in existing climate jurisprudence, and attempts to reimagine the concept in order to incorporate the subjectivity and interests of non-human matter into an otherwise enclosed and marketized climate-change legal discourse. The analysis in this article finds that prejudicial approaches to climate equity that prioritize dominant human subjects produce unjust consequences for excluded, vulnerable human populations and for non-human subjects, with these unjust consequences shaping both policy and lived experience. The article suggests that adopting new materialist/posthuman ontological and epistemological pluralism will support the incorporation of human–non-human entanglements in climate equity, and that such a determination must extend to reforming the inequitable enclosures and exclusions driven by the climate equity assemblage.

Multilevel lattice codes, such as those associated to Constructions $C$,
$\overline{D}$, D and D', have relevant applications in communications. In this
paper, we investigate some properties of lattices obtained via Constructions D
and D' from $q$-ary linear codes. Connections with Construction A, generator
matrices, expressions and bounds for the lattice volume and minimum distances
are derived. Extensions of previous results regarding construction and decoding
of binary and $p$-ary linear codes ($p$ prime) are also presented.

The Oriental rat snake Ptyas mucosa is a common non-venomous snake of the colubrid family, spanning most of South and Southeast Asia. P. mucosa is widely bred for its uses in traditional medicine, scientific research, and handicrafts. Therefore, genome resources of P. mucosa could play an important role in the efficacy of traditional medicine and the analysis of the living environment of this species. Here, we present a highly continuous P. mucosa genome with a size of 1.74 Gb. Its scaffold N50 length is 9.57 Mb, and the maximal scaffold length is 78.3 Mb. Its CG content is 37.9%, and its gene integrity reaches 86.6%. Assembled using long-reads, the total length of the repeat sequences in the genome reaches 735 Mb, and its repeat content is 42.19%. Finally, 24,869 functional genes were annotated in this genome. This study may assist in understanding P. mucosa and supporting medicinal research.

The paper gives a brief history of the church in Batočina. Special attention is paid to their early history, that is. the period from its construction log cabin church in 1837 until the end of the Ombudsman's government. The second part of the paper deals with the history of the brick church in Batočina consecrated in 1858. This church was severely damaged by the earthquake of 1894. It was completely renovated only in 1975, when it was consecrated again.
STRUČNA ŠKOLA SA PRAKTIČNOM OBUKOM ZA KROJENjE RUBLjA I ŽENSKOG ODELA U KRAGUJEVCU 1884–1962

Vocational school with practical training in tailoring underwear and women's suits in Kragujevac 1884-1962 was one of the most important schools in the city. Although it was abolished in 1962, having operated for 78 years, the school has left its mark on the history of the city and beyond. During its seventy-eight years of existence, the school has changed its name several times, participated in humanitarian actions during the war, performed its duty conscientiously, and a moderate number of talented and qualified female students came out of its benches ready for independent work. The most prosperous time for the school was the beginning of the XX century up until The First Balkan War, but we cannot disregard the fact that the school had been a success after The Second World War as well. As part of various extracurricular activities, it had established a cooperation with other schools and cultural and educational institutions. At that time, the school had been organizing numerous events, excursions, and trips; participated in numerous actions and activities, celebrated its jubilee - with both parents and citizens attending the events. The school had a quality teaching staff at the time, however, even then, there were part-time teachers, who were not too interested in contributing to the school’s reputability. They were, most often, transferred to other schools or resigned themselves due to low salaries. The students of this school came from different families: some were poor and the others came from wealthy and affluent families. The students from wealthy families paid their tuition, while the poor regular students were exempted from paying any tuition. They earned money by sewing and tailoring suits and receiving their percentages, which they could use for their own needs, or by participating in events and concerts. However, there were students who were enrolled, but did not attend classes regularly, and who were forced to leave school or be transferred to another one due to not having enough money. Taking into account all the difficulties that the school had been facing during its existence (insufficient teaching aids, facilities problems, teaching staff etc.), we conclude that it had been an entirely satisfactory episode in the city’s history. The sources preserved in the Historical Archive of Šumadija Kragujevac are more than complex and provide us with a detailed insight into the real state of the school through its various stages of operation.
