Authors: Tablatin Christine Lourrine S. , Acosta Michael E. , Patacsil Frederick F.
Published: May 2023

Community needs assessments are one of the functions of city managers/administrators to find ways to collect accurate data/information that represent the most important needs of a community. In such assessments, a commitment to community participation is very important to determine current situations and identify issues for action, establishing the essential foundation for vital planning. That’s where a community needs assessment comes in; it can be used to inform and improve any community development initiative. The main objective of this study is to conduct a needs assessment focusing primarily on identifying community needs in the City of Urdaneta. This study utilized a mixed method whereby data were collected and analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively to analyze the community needs of the City of Urdaneta. The quantitative data were used to describe the population that resides in the city, and they were the respondents to the study. This method was utilized to obtain a direct picture of the services that the City of Urdaneta is providing to its stakeholders and provide a better understanding and explanation of their needs. The result reveals that respondents were not satisfied/dissatisfied with the drainage management provided by the city, especially when the rainy season comes, which resulted in flooded streets around the city. Based on the flood-prone map, some barangays were situated in flood-prone areas, worsening the flooding problem. The result also shows that the city should manage people with mental health and animals roaming around the city as they may pose a danger to the public. However, the respondent is satisfied with the services provided by the city based on the comments/opinions based on the word/ word patterns such as “improve services”, “good services” and “excellence services”. It is suggested that the city government should improve the city drainage system to eradicate or minimize flooding during rainy seasons, provide better mental services to stakeholders, and provide services that will control stray animals that roam around the city since they could endanger the public.

Authors: ISHCHUK Anatolii
Published: May 2023

The purpose of the research is to investigate the legislation concerning international electronic contracts, including the legislation that regulates e-commerce, electronic signatures, and electronic contracts. The research is also conducted with the aim of identifying the peculiarities of the legislation of individual countries that regulate international electronic commercial contracts and to determine to what extent the modern legislation of individual countries is adapted and corresponds to modern trends in e-commerce. The work is carried out using general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge. The regulatory acts of individual foreign countries have been identified, and the content of some of them has been analysed, namely, the UNICTRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce, the EU Directive on Electronic Identification (eIDAS), the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Electronic Commerce, the legislation of the United Kingdom, the United States of America (the US Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), the Electronic Signatures and Records Act (ESRA)), Japan (Law on Electronic Signatures and Business Certification) and Canada (Uniform Electronic Commerce Act). International regulatory acts that regulate e-commerce, electronic signatures, and international electronic commercial contracts in one way or another have been identified and characterized. Ukrainian legislation on the same subject of regulation has been studied. The legislation of foreign countries, namely, on electronic commercial contracts, electronic signatures, and e-commerce, has been analysed and briefly characterized. In the context of the study, it has been concluded that in the current stage of society development, every country that seeks to develop and somehow relates its development to modern technologies has sufficiently developed legal regulation of electronic signatures, electronic contracts, and international commerce. From the very beginning of the implementation of electronic digital data, electronic signatures, and electronic contracts, states have tried to regulate these processes in order to make them as simple, specific, and as helpful as possible to citizens and businesses. The development of legislation in the field of international e-commerce is one of the important factors in the overall development of a state and the formation of a modern and, above all, stable economy of the state. The desire of states to regulate international electronic commercial contracts primarily indicates that the state is interested in its growth, the growth of the economy, and the growth in the standard of living of its citizens.

By the VI-VIII centuries, economic relations reached their peak. During this period, Choch's trade and economic relations with the Chinese dynasties and diplomatic relations took an important place. As early as the III-IV centuries AD, the Choch people had intensive trade relations with the Sughd merchants who had trade colonies in the regions of Eastern Turkestan. The common interests of the Western Turkic Khanate and the upper class of Sughd caused Sughd merchants to take a leading position in trade and economic relations in the eastern direction[21], which created the ground for Choch and Sughd people, who actively participated in these relations, to occupy the international markets of the great Silk Road trade.

Published: May 2023

It is known that the study of historical phonetics, the study and analysis of the vowels and consonants of the language of the studied period, and drawing the necessary scientific conclusions about them are problematic issues, because in that period the pronunciation of vowels and consonants, the determination of their quantity is not directly available. The linguist scientist H. Nematov writes about this: “On the basis of comparing the phonetic features of the language of the works written in different periods of development, it is possible to determine the development path of the phonetic system of the Uzbek language. But we are deprived of the opportunity to directly observe the pronunciation of past times. On the other hand, the writing did not fully reflect the pronunciation, so the study of historical phonetics faces great obstacles” [1:6]. For this reason, the written monuments of the Uzbek language have not been studied linguistically, scientific and critical texts have not been created on most of them, and some of them have not even been published. Even so, some work has been done on the historical phonetics of the Uzbek language. Commenting on them, summarizing existing views is also important for today’s linguistics. The article talks about the historical development of vowels, the research carried out on historical phonetics, the opinions of scientists about vowels, the views of modern people in determining the number of vowels in the Uzbek language.

Accommodation
Authors: Ratilla Mark , Kumar Dey Sandeep , Chovancova Miloslava
Published: May 2023

The study responds to the paucity of understanding of tourists' attitudes toward peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation services in less-developed economies. By gaining insights into the extant literature, the study proposes and tests a research model that accents the impact of perceived economic benefits, social incentives, and trust on consumers’ attitudes towards P2P accommodation. Notably, it also explores the potential attitudinal effect of the new materialist lifestyle. Data were collected through a web-based survey involving 112 consumers aware of P2P accommodation with prior domestic tourism experience in the Philippines. Partial least squares structural equation modelling technique was employed for data analysis. The findings reveal that only economic benefits and trust perceptions can predict consumers’ attitudes towards P2P accommodation services. Considering this, accommodation providers should continue to emphasize the economic value of their services to expand the customer base. Additionally, platform and accommodation providers can also enhance trust-building initiatives to reduce consumers' risk perceptions potentially aggravated by the ongoing pandemic.

Com o advento das novas tecnologias da informação e com a difusão do uso das redes sociais, o ensino de Geografia tem se tornado cada vez mais desafiador para os docentes que atuam na rede básica (Ensino Fundamental e Médio) e para os cursos de formação de professores em nível superior. Como se não bastasse o uso intensivo destas tecnologias, as mudanças curriculares provocadas pela BNCC – Base Nacional Comum Curricular, nos últimos anos, tornou ainda mais desafiador tal empreitada, sobretudo no Ensino Médio, no qual a disciplina de Geografia deixa de existir como componente curricular e apenas alguns conteúdos desta disciplina se mantém na área de Humanidades e Sociais Aplicadas. A BNCC é um documento que rege o ensino e qualidade das aprendizagens trabalhadas nas unidades escolares do ensino básico, seja de caráter privado ou público, garantindo dessa maneira o desenvolvimento pleno do aluno e não menos importante uma educação que proporcione a igualdade para todos inseridos no sistema educacional (Brasil, 2017).

Patent ductus venosus is an extremely rare form of congenital portosystemic shunt that results in the diversion of portal blood into the systemic circulation, decreasing hepatic blood flow and increasing blood volume and toxic substances in the systemic circulation. We present a clinical case of a male infant born at 37 5/7 weeks gestational age with patent ductus venosus. Because very few cases of patent ductus venosus have been reported, the prudent approach it would be to perform serial Doppler studies and laboratory tests to follow the course of the ductus venosus until closure and to intervene if the infant becomes unstable and symptomatic. The medical team decided that the conservative management in this case was a better choice, since the infant remained stable with good growth.

Respiratory tract infections are usually the most common infections in pediatric patients, including in those with diabetes. A low control on the glucose levels makes the diabetic patient more vulnerable to get an infectious disease and even to develop serious complications, such as diabetic ketoacidosis. We present you two clinical cases, showing, in parallel, children diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, who, facing the same stress factor -infection-, show a different response of their immune system. A conscientious maintenance of the disease, regular check-ups and a good knowledge of the risk factors are the key to avoid the occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis.
The Relationship between Human Capital and Technology Innovation: The Moderating Effect of Firm Internationalization
Authors:   Academic Society of Global Business Administration, Gwon Sun Hwan
Published: May 2023

This study investigate the relationship between human capital, one of the key factors in creating the firm’s competitive advantage, and the technology innovation. From an integrated approach, we divide human capital into firm specific human capital and general human capital and analyze the impact of two human capitals on technological innovation empirically. In addition, we examine when and how this relationship is more stronger or weaker. Using survey data from Korean Research for Vocational Education and Training and 2) NICE information service in Korea, first, we find that both firm specific human and general human capital can enhance the technological innovation of firm. This results suggests that the two types of human capital are crucial variables in improving technological innovation of firm as each unique and complementary resource.
Second, the relationship between general human capital and technological innovation is more stronger as firms’ international experience increases. In particular, general human capital strengthens technological innovation when interacting with firm international experience, but we do not find the moderating variable effect of firm international experience in the relationship between firm specific human capital and technological innovation. In order to improve the technological innovation of firm, we need to consider not only the firm-specific human capital related to on-the-job training investment but also the improvement of the human capital quality through formal education outside of firm while capitalizing firm international experience. This study conduct the research to identify technological innovation from an integrated point of view, considering not only the traditionally firm-specific but also general human capital, which has recently been paying attention again.

Published: May 2023

This paper examines the effects of organizational capital on lean operations. Organizational Capital is known as the managerial ability that facilitates the match between human resources and production systems. Considering the role of organizational capital, we can conjecture that firms with more organizational capital show better lean performance from the perspective of operations management. Thus, we suggest hypotheses that organizational capital can have a positive influence on lean operations in inventories and fixed assets (property, plant, and equipment) because organizational capital allows firms to utilize their resources efficiently. Based on the listed manufacturing firms in South Korea from 1982 to 2020, we find that firms with more organizational capital show better lean performance. Therefore, our results imply that organizational capital can be one of the determinants for achieving lean operations. Additional tests suggest our results are robust to endogeneity concerns. Overall, we contribute to the literature by providing evidence on the importance of intangible assets such as organizational capital to achieve lean operations.

Published: May 2023

In this study, volatility spillover was analyzed based on the Time Varying Parameter VAR(Vector Autoregressive) model to identify the volatility transmission mechanism of alternative assets for the S&P Global Infrastructure Index, S&P Merger Arbitrage Index, and S&P U.S. SPAC Index.
The results of the empirical analysis over the sample period are as follows: First, the total connectedness of the indices to be analyzed was estimated to be 27.22%, and the volatility spillover between the S&P500 and the Global Infrastructure Index was found to be quite high, whereas the index with the least connectedness to the S&P500 index was found to be the U.S. SPAC Index. Second, according to the net bidirectional connectedness estimation results, the most affected index was reported as the Merger Arbitrage Index, and the most affected index was reported as the Global Infrastructure Index. In addition, the U.S. SPAC Index was relatively neutral, confirming the possibility of contributing greatly to the portfolio diversification effect. Third, the total connectedness of the indices showed a behavior of rapidly increasing and then decreasing again at the time of the global spread of the coronavirus, but different movements were observed for each index, and the SPAC Index reacted more sensitively than other indexes.

Introduction: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused considerable stress and anxiety in the general population, especially among students. The objective of this study was to determine the stress and anxiety levels among medical rehabilitation students induced by distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methodology: The sample for this prospective cross-sectional study included 96 students pursuing the medical rehabilitation undergraduate degree at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Novi Sad, Serbia. All respondents took part in an online survey created on the Google Forms platform and accessed via the Facebook social network. The questionnaire included a sociodemographic section, the perceived stress scale (PSS), and the worry about online learning scale (WOLS). All data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS version 25.
Results: The study involved 96 students with an average age of 21.97 ± 1.55 years, 72.9% of whom were female. The total stress reported by the students during the COVID-19 pandemic was higher in females than in males (21.75 [SD = 7.50] vs. 17.84 [SD = 8.58]; p < 0.05). Younger students were more susceptible to experiencing stress during the pandemic (rho = -0.217, p < 0.05). Moreover, 57.3% of students suffered from moderate stress, while the WOLS scores indicated that distance education induced a high level of discomfort in this cohort (3.8 [IQR = 1.6]).
Conclusions: Medical rehabilitation students showed a moderate level of stress and a high level of concern about distance education. This stress was more prevalent among younger students and females.

Introduction: Previous studies that identified the prognostic factors for the severity of the new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in different populations have generated controversial conclusions. The lack of a standard definition of COVID-19 severity and the differences between clinical diagnoses might make it difficult to provide optimum care according to the characteristics of each population.
Methodology: We investigated the factors that impacted the severe outcome or death from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in patients treated at the Mexican Institute of Social Security in Yucatán, México in 2020. A cross-sectional study of COVID-19 confirmed cases was done to know the prevalence and association of the demographic and clinical characteristics with a severe or fatal outcome. Information from the National Epidemiological Surveillance System (SINAVE) database was used and SPSS v 21 was used for statistical analyses. We used the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) symptomatology classifications to define severe cases.
Results: Diabetes and pneumonia increased the risk of death and having diabetes was a prognostic factor for severe illness following SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Conclusions: Our results highlight the influence of cultural and ethnic factors, the necessity to standardize the parameters for clinical diagnoses, and to use the same criteria for the definition of COVID-19 severity to establish the clinical conditions that contribute to the pathophysiology of this disease in each population.

Introduction: Locked pediatric inpatient psychiatric units are vulnerable to the emergence and spread of infections, and nosocomial infection, especially respiratory tract infection is potentially a major problem. This study aimed to explore the risk factors for lower respiratory tract infection (LRI), in particular, pneumonia.
Methodology: We conducted a retrospective study comprising 4643 patients with schizophrenia (SZ) and 1826 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), and the chi‐square test was performed to analyze the categorical variables.
Results: The risk ratio for LRI, including pneumonia, in intensive care unit (ICU) was higher than in the general ward, and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) increased the patients’ susceptibility to LRI and pneumonia. Our data have revealed that patients treated with restraint or clozapine showed a higher prevalence of LRI and pneumonia, and the results indicated that the increased risk of LRI, not pneumonia, was dose‐dependently observed in patients with clozapine treatment.
Conclusions: Our study shows that ICU and ECT treatment were risk factors for LRI and pneumonia in patients with SZ or MDD, and patients with SZ has a prevalence of hospital-acquired infection because of restraint and clozapine treatments.

Introduction: Candida spp. are responsible for infections ranging from local to systemic, and resistance to antifungal first-line therapy is increasing in non-albicans Candida species. We aimed to determine the etiology of candidiasis and the antifungal resistance of Candida spp. isolated in Hue hospitals, Central-Vietnam.
Methods: Species identification was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry supported by fungal internal-transcribed-spacer amplification and sequencing. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed by disk diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentrations of azoles, caspofungin, and amphotericin B against C. tropicalis were determined by broth microdilution. Polymorphism of erg11 gene associated with fluconazole resistance was carried out by polymerase chain reaction and sequencing. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was used for typing selected C. albicans isolates.
Results: Overall, 196 Candida isolates were detected, mostly C. albicans (48%), followed by C. tropicalis (16%), C. parapsilosis (11%), C. glabrata (9%), C. orthopsilosis (6%) and to a lesser extent another eight species. High rates of resistance to fluconazole and voriconazole (18.8%) were observed in C. tropicalis with five isolates co-resistant to both agents. Y132F and S154F missense mutations in the ERG11 protein were associated with fluconazole-resistance in C. tropicalis (67.7%). Resistance to caspofungin was found in one isolate of C. albicans. MLST identified a polyclonal population of C. albicans with multiple diploid sequence types, and with few lineages showing potential nosocomial spread.
Conclusions: Resistance to triazole agents should be considered in C. tropicalis infections in the studied hospitals, and surveillance measures taken to avoid Candida diffusion.
