A LEI ANTICORRUPÇÃO BRASILEIRA E AS CONDUTAS LESIVAS À ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA NACIONAL OU ESTRANGEIRA
Authors: Soares Marcelo Henrique Dos Santos
Published: May 2023

Este artigo tem por propósito realizar uma análise crítica das condutas definidas na Lei Anticorrupção Brasileira como lesivas à administração pública nacional ou estrangeira. Para tanto, adota-se uma análise documental com estudo bibliográfico, mediante aplicação do método indutivo. Trata-se, portanto, de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório com o propósito de examinar a extensão das condutas tipificadas na lei brasileira. Nesse sentido, o trabalho está estruturado em três partes, além da introdução, sendo que, num primeiro momento, se realiza uma breve contextualização da Lei n. 12.846, 1º de agosto de 2013, para, então, analisar as condutas definidas como lesivas à administração pública nacional ou estrangeira. Nesse exame, são realizados apontamentos acerca da abrangência e dos bens jurídicos tutelados pela Lei para, em seguida, avaliar as condutas em espécie. Após apresentar esses aspectos, conclui-se o estudo com a demonstração de que, embora acertadamente tenha se utilizado de conceitos jurídicos indeterminados para a definição do rol das condutas lesivas à administração pública nacional ou estrangeira, ampliando significativamente o espectro de sua incidência, a identificação de cada uma delas no caso concreto dependerá de acurado exame do investigador público.

Influence of Blade-Flow Interactions on Flow Behaviours and Blade Loading of an Automotive Mixed-Flow Turbine
Authors: Noor Zafirah Abu Bakar  , Muhamad Hasbullah Padzillah
Published: June 2023

Mixed-flow turbine (MFT) is one type of turbines in automotive turbocharger. Multiple studies on turbine blades and flow interactions were done in this area but mainly focusing on structural responses and none on the fluid behaviours. The objectives of this paper are to compare and analyse the influence of blade-flow interactions on flow behaviours and blade loading at four MFT turbine operating conditions under steady state flow. Flow behaviours are indicated by appearances of secondary flows and blade loading is ratio of static pressure acting on turbine rotor blades over the total isentropic pressure at volute inlet. Blade loading represents capability of turbine blades to generate torque. Three validated simulations models using commercial software were developed, a non-coupled model and coupled models which consists of one-way and two-way coupled model. Non-coupled model assumes blades are rigid bodies and for coupled models, blades are deformable and share interfaces for interactions. Results show that there are differences in flow behaviours in non-coupled and coupled models that affect blade loading. Coupled models produce torque with range 1.33% to 0.60% lower than non-coupled model at most operating conditions. At 50% turbine design speed, average efficiency differences for non-coupled and coupled models to experiment data are 1.38% and 1.28% respectively. There is no significant difference in flow behaviours in one-way and two-way coupled models due to the stiffness of material of turbine blades is high but show minor differences in blade loading and torque.

Published: June 2023

A pump as turbine (PAT) is a turbomachine that converts hydraulic energy into electricity. One of the study topics in PAT is the efficiency due to centrifugal pumps are not designed to operate in reverse mode. Geometric variations of the impeller have been studied in the literature. However, it was not possible to evidence the influence of the inclination of the blade leading and trailing edge. Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze numerically and fluid dynamically the inclination angle of the blade leading and trailing edge of a centrifugal pump, in pump and turbine mode. First, the characteristic curve was validated. Then, the inclination of the leading and the trailing edge was modified, in a range of 25° to 90°, obtaining head, efficiency, and power graph. As a result, in pump mode was evidenced that an angle close to 90° on the blade trailing edge provides a higher efficiency of 50.26% and decreases until 40.77% when the angle approaches 30°, reducing the head to around 20%, while power remained constant. In turbine mode, an inverse effect was obtained, where the maximum efficiency was 60.9% and the generated power increased up to 4.76 kW in the blade leading edge. Therefore, the angular variation of the leading and the trailing edge is adequate in turbine mode, while in pump mode there is a loss of capacity.

Authors: Zarrin Milad , Nakhostin Ansari Noureddin , Saadat Maryam , Shaterzaedeh Yazdi Mohammad Jafar , Shalilahmadi Davood
Published: June 2023

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy that has a significant impact on patients’ quality of life. Current physical therapy treatment options show limited effects or low-quality evidence, especially in the long term. To date, there has been little research to look at the effects of treating the cervical spine on decreasing symptoms distally to the carpal tunnel. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cervical manual therapy plus conventional physical therapy on patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Methods: This pilot pretest/posttest and six-month follow-up clinical study included 15 adult patients with CTS. For two weeks, each patient received 10 sessions of supervised intervention treatment. The efficacy of the therapies was assessed at baseline (T0), immediately after treatment (T1), and six months after treatment (T2). The visual analog scale (VAS), a symptom severity scale, the functional capacity scale of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ), the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, median nerve motor distal latency (mMDL), and median sensory nerve conduction velocity (mSNCV) were outcome measures.
Results: There were significant improvements in all measures between the baseline values at T0 and those recorded immediately after the treatment at T1 or six months later at T2 (p<.05).
Conclusion: This pilot study indicates that cervical manual therapy plus conventional physical therapy applied for two weeks improves clinical outcomes and electrodiagnostic findings in people with CTS.
A Rebuttal to Perpetuating Victimization with Efforts to Reduce Human Trafficking: a Call to Action for Massage Therapist Protection
Authors: Kimmet Deborah A.
Published: June 2023

This document is a rebuttal to Perpetuating Victimization with Efforts to Reduce Human Trafficking: a Call to Action for Massage Therapist Protection by Rosenow and Munk that appeared in the March issue. The paper is to be applauded for providing a massage therapist’s viewpoint on the issue of human trafficking guised as massage, and concisely summarizing the main impact on the profession. The solutions involved, however, are problematic, as is the underlying view that licensing practitioners and their businesses is de-signed to protect the massage therapist and trafficking victims. Finally, this commentary suggests a regulatory solution that should be implemented for any re-porting process to be successful.
CONSUMERS PREFERRED CAR DRIVE BASED ON THEIR INCOME AND PROFESSIONAL OCCUPATION WITH REFLECTION TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Authors: Jankovič Michal , Juhás Henrich
Published: June 2023

The main aim of our paper is to confirm or deny, that Slovak consumers preference of car drives is based on their income and professional occupation. While similar researches were conducted before, none of them were focused on the particular problem of Slovak consumers choosing between different car drives. Our study will therefore bring clear results into this matter. The study group consisted of 356 respondents and was conducted between October of 2022 and January of 2023. The data obtained were analyzed in detail through Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. Results of our paper show that people with lower income opted more towards conventional car drives, while people with higher income lean towards electric car drives. In terms of professional occupation, entrepreneurs choose electric car drives while students prefer conventional.

Published: May 2023

The South Caucasus Region and Georgia, in particular, is a biodiversity hotspot and characterised by high diversity of landscapes and ecosystems, as well as high levels of endemism. At the same time, diversity of freshwater organisms in the region remains poorly studied, including fishes. The freshwater fish fauna of the South Caucasus Region consists of 119 fish species, of which 13 species belong to the order Gobiiformes. It should be noted that gobies are amongst the poorly studied taxa in Georgia and probably unknown/undescribed species still living in the Georgian freshwater ecosystems which requires further research.

Ponticola alasanicus, a new species is described from the Alazani River, western Caspian Sea Basin, Georgia. It is distinguished from its congeners in the Caspian and Black Sea Basins by having the following features: dorsal fin with VI-VII spines and 15½-16½ branched rays, anal fin with 10½-12½ branched rays; lateral line with 48-55 scales; laterally compressed body with dark brown and black blotches - scales ctenoid; first and second dorsal fins almost touching with dorsal fins bases; head large, depressed, wider than deep, its length approaches almost 3.4th of standard length; nape scaled completely; cycloid scales cover upper part of opercle, cheeks noticeably swollen; snout longer than eye, eye diameter 4.5 times its head length; lower jaw slightly protruding; upper lip is uniform; pelvic disc short, elongated and flat, not reaching the anus; the pectoral fins extends vertically through first branched dorsal fin; caudal fin rounded. Ponticola alasanicus sp. n. belongs to P. syrman group and it is separated by a minimum Kimura 2-parameter distance of 3.5, 3.6 and 4.8% from P. syrman, P. iranicus and P. patimari, respectively.
Du sophiste au plaideur : l’appropriation platonicienne de la rhétorique dans le Gorgias
Authors: Le Merrer Nicolas
Published: June 2023

Centré sur le Gorgias de Platon, cet article vise à montrer que la critique platonicienne de la rhétorique ne s’élabore pas sur la base d’une hostilité de principe à l’égard du rhéteur, mais se développe au contraire à partir du discours rhétorique lui-même. Nous analysons d’abord les difficultés de l’analogie posant la rhétorique comme un simulacre de la justice : cette analogie révèle en fait la façon dont Gorgias cherche à manifester la singularité et la valeur de son enseignement. Nous examinons ensuite les principales étapes de la discussion entre Socrate et Gorgias, qui se focalise progressivement sur l’usage spécifiquement judiciaire de la rhétorique, pour montrer, dans un dernier temps, en quoi l’interrogation platonicienne sur la justice reprend la réflexion de Gorgias sur le sujet, en la radicalisant.
L’art du droit dans la Rhétorique d’Aristote
Authors: Balmond Pierre
Published: June 2023

Nous nous proposons d’étudier les chapitres X-14 du premier livre de la Rhétorique d’Aristote pour tenter de saisir l’ art du juste que le Stagirite y élabore. Après avoir situé ces chapitres dans leurs différents contextes, depuis les conditions de la démocratie athénienne du IV e  s. av. J.-C. jusqu’à la concurrence intellectuelle qui l’agite autour de la formation à la parole publique, nous cherchons à distinguer les multiples mais cohérentes perspectives qui structurent ce passage du traité : la connaissance générale du juste y nourrit la forme du raisonnement persuasif dans les affaires judiciaires singulières. Confronté à un système qui refuse la professionnalisation, Aristote élabore ainsi un art du juste proprement rhétorique parce qu’inscrit dans les dynamiques du citoyen impliqué dans les tribunaux : la connaissance du juste y est absorbée par la reconnaissance de ce qui sonne juste.
Histoire de la profession d’avocat depuis 1830
Authors: Ozanam Yves
Published: June 2023

En l’espace de quasiment deux siècles, la profession d’avocat a connu des bouleversements considérables. Le bâtonnier et le conseil de l’Ordre existent toujours, mais la déontologie et la discipline ont été largement modifiées. Après un âge d’or de l’avocat plaidant jusqu’à la Première Guerre mondiale, le barreau a dû ensuite se remettre en question. Il a d’abord lentement évolué avant d’être réformé en deux temps entre 1971 et 1991. Depuis, il ne cesse de s’interroger sur ce qui fait son identité et il se demande aujourd’hui quel avenir l’attend. Mais il doit être le premier acteur de son destin futur.

L’avocat et la vérité dans le procès
Authors: Tuzet Giovanni
Published: June 2023

Le code italien de déontologie de l’avocat impose à ce dernier, outre un devoir général de probité, un devoir de vérité dans le procès. Ce travail analyse la portée de ce devoir et soutient qu’il revient plutôt à l’interdiction du mensonge et au devoir de faire des assertions justifiées par les preuves disponibles. Cela ne signifie pas cependant que la vérité ne joue aucun rôle dans le procès. En effet, d’une part, les assertions en justice soulèvent une prétention de vérité, fondée sur une conception de la vérité comme correspondance, et, d’autre part, les apports des avocats et des parties, notamment à travers les procédures contradictoires, permettent de découvrir la vérité sur les faits pertinents.
Les esprits de la nature

Les esprits de la nature existent dans toutes les cultures, depuis les temps les plus reculés. Ils font partie le plus souvent d’un monde invisible, sacré dans certaines traditions, qu’il s’agisse du retour des morts dans l’œuvre de Jung, du souffle des éléments dans les conceptions alchimiques, du monde de la nature dans les cultures chamaniques, de la survivance des sociétés animistes ou de la magie des créatures féeriques.
Penser l’enfantement dans une perspective émancipatrice ? Phénoménologie et psychanalyse
Authors: Picard Clarisse
Published: June 2023

Les pensées féministes, malgré l’importance de leurs travaux, ne sont pas venues à bout du phénomène de la subordination des femmes dans les tâches de soin et d’éducation des enfants, et dans l’ensemble de la société. Dans le même temps, nous assistons à un processus progressif mais continu de rupture entre le corps et la subjectivité des femmes, et la conception, la grossesse et la naissance des enfants, en raison des développements des techniques reproductives. Considérant cette tension paradoxale, l’autrice propose de revenir à l’endroit même où s’exercent cette subordination en même temps que cette rupture annoncée afin de considérer si les femmes mères ne pourraient pas y trouver, à la fois, des moyens de se réapproprier leurs enfantements et des leviers potentiels d’émancipation et de renaissance, sur le plan personnel comme sociétal. À cette fin, elle décrit, du point de vue d’une femme singulière, et dans une perspective émancipatrice, l’itinéraire phénoménologique et psychanalytique de l’enfantement par lequel cette femme devenant mère naît à soi-même en donnant naissance à son enfant. En co-constituant le sens universel de l’enfantement et son devenir mère philosophe, cette femme singulière opère un véritable changement de paradigme de nos représentations de la mère et de la structure métaphysique des sexes.

Prendre en compte l’influence des imaginaires dans le codesign de technologies en santé : une réflexion empirique dans les domaines des troubles du sommeil et du vieillissement
Authors: Zaidi Nawelle , Wrembel Élisa
Published: June 2023

La santé mobile et la robotique sociale d’assistance sont deux marchés en pleine expansion. Le secteur de la santé et du soin s’intéresse particulièrement à ces nouvelles technologies, notamment pour leur potentiel en matière de prévention (pour la santé mobile) et d’accompagnement au handicap et à la perte d’autonomie (pour la robotique). Chaque jour, de nouveaux produits sont développés. Pourtant, ces nouvelles technologies sont souvent rejetées ou laissées de côté après un court temps d’utilisation. Nous nous appuyons sur deux recherches-projets mobilisant l’approche de codesign dans la conception d’artefacts numériques en santé pour comprendre les enjeux associés aux imaginaires des technologies à la fois dans leur conception et leur réception. Notre exploration met en évidence la présence, tant chez les personnes qui conçoivent que chez celles qui font usage des technologies, de discours péjoratifs récurrents liés à des techno-imaginaires notamment issus de la science-fiction. Nous produisons une réflexion sur l’articulation entre le processus de codesign et la diffusion de ces techno-imaginaires dominants. Nous proposons enfin des pistes de réflexion pour tenir compte de leur présence au sein même du processus de codesign des technologies en santé.

Published: June 2023

This paper is aimed at determining the derivation superalgebra of modular Lie superalgebra $ \overline{K}(n, m) $. To that end, we first describe the $ \mathbb{Z} $-homogeneous derivations of $ \overline{K}(n, m) $. Then we obtain the derivation superalgebra $ Der(\overline{K}) $. Finally, we partly determine the derivation superalgebra $ Der(K) $ by virtue of the invariance of $ K(n, m) $ under $ Der(\overline{K}) $.
Visual analysis of knowledge graph based on fuzzy sets in Chinese martial arts routines
Authors: Jiang Jun , Lv Junjie , Khan Muhammad Bilal
Published: June 2023

There are many schools of Chinese martial arts routines and complex movements; research on this topic is more geared toward Taijiquan (a kind of traditional Chinese shadow boxing), which is a more well-known type of martial arts. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to visually analyze the research of Chinese martial arts routines based on the knowledge graph method and to propose a knowledge graph method based on the fuzzy set theory, which is called the transF model throughout this paper. The transF model used the fuzzy relational operation of vectors to not only reduce the computational complexity, but to also better integrate multi-dimensional data, especially when the training set is not particularly sufficient. For the visual analysis of Chinese martial arts routines, this paper selected the 16-year data from 2005 to 2020 as the analysis sample, analyzed high-yield institutions and high-yield authors, and conducted a centrality analysis of the whole dataset. From the structure of the knowledge graph, traditional martial arts are the core part of Chinese martial arts, with a centrality of 0.14. Competitive martial arts are the main branch of Chinese martial arts and the third core after Tai Chi and traditional martial arts, with a centrality of 0.41, which is higher than that of traditional martial arts. This shows its importance in martial arts research.

A Design for Gamified On-the-job Training
Authors: Bend Julia
Published: June 2023

The main purpose of this article is to review the factors that impact employee motivation in on-the-job training and the extent to which game mechanics can be used to increase motivation and expected learning outcomes.  The choice for this topic is based on the lack of academic literature on gamification in the work environment – more so, relating to on-the-job training.  Contrarily, the necessity for the improvement of user’s motivation in participating in such training programmes is already well established.  This study presents the JT Framework for creating gamified on-the-job training.  The baseline theories applied for the framework include: the flow theory, FODEM and Octalysis framework, which were combined with various motivational theories, game mechanics and studies on user types.  The framework operates in the intersection within business ROI, user experience design and behavioural science, which need to be considered when evaluating the framework.  In this research, a series of interviews were conducted to assess the framework model from the user’s perspective.

Authors: Aricu Aculina , Ciocarlan Alexandru , Lungu Lidia , Cucicova Caleria , Blaja Svetlana , Secara Elena , Ungur Nicon
Published: June 2023

New, original, and ecologically pure methods for the synthesis of compounds with hybrid terpene and heteroatomic functional groups or fragments have been developed, starting from accessible (+)-sclareolide, obtained from (-)-sclareol, well-known labdane diterpenoid diol extracted from the waste of Clary sage (Salvia sclarea L.) remaining after extracting the essential oil. The natural origin of terpene compounds supposes biocompatibility, selective biological activity, and low toxicity. The compounds with combined skeleton were obtained by coupling some terpene derivatives (acids, chloroanhydrides, bromides) with azaheterocyclic compounds or heterocyclization of some intermediates such as hydrazides, hydrazincarbothioamides, or thiosemicarbazones. A series of over 120 newly obtained substances were subjected to biological testing, of which 10 showed pronounced antifungal and antibacterial activity, two amides showed pronounced antioxidant activity, and two derivatives with guanidine fragments showed high antitumor activity.

The chapter describes the major guiding learning theories and paradigms, and summarizes classic and recent instruction methodologies while exploring technology's impact on learning. An interesting finding is that while methods for teaching children differed from adult ones in the past, current approaches to adult learning adopt methodologies that were developed for children, such as gamification, to make learning feasible, consistent, engaging, and motivating. The chapter also reports on the findings of a case study within a UK university setting employing the flipped classroom approach. The chapter concludes by connecting learning to career sustainability in ecosystems and providing practice recommendations.
Leveraging the Triple Helix System for Effective Employability Delivery in Nigerian Universities
Authors: Pitan Oluyomi Susan
Published: June 2023

In view of the significance of employability, this chapter aims to examine how Nigerian universities can enhance the effectiveness of their employability delivery. Using a desk review method, the chapter considers different ways universities embed employability. Among Nigerian universities, it was realized that although there are few provisions for developing employability in the curriculum, several factors hinder its implementation. The identified barriers, inter alia, are a poor learning environment, inadequate funding, unsatisfactory student internship, insufficient exposure to career guidance activities, and inadequate collaboration between the university and industry. The argument raised is that for the workability of any strategy adopted by the university, identified impediments must be overcome. Hinged on theoretical postulations of social capital theory, the chapter recommends the ‘Triple Helix' system of relationships between the university, industry, and government to enhance the effectiveness of employability delivery in Nigerian universities.
Fostering Career Self-Efficacy via Mindfulness and Life Coaching
Authors: Donald William E. , Manville Graham
Published: June 2023

This chapter aims to develop a positive psychology sustainable career (PPSC) framework to foster career self-efficacy by providing an overview of how one's career may play out across their lifespan. The psychology and vocational behavior literature have tended to develop in parallel via various theories, including conservation of resources, job demand-resources, and sustainable careers. Moreover, life coaching and mindfulness have emerged within positive psychology. Yet, efforts to integrate these different theories and approaches remain in a fragmented and embryonic state. Theoretical implications come from integrating psychology and vocational behavior literature in response to uncertain and competitive labor markets. Practical implications come from highlighting the need for early intervention and continued support across the lifespan. The PPSC framework can act as part of a broader toolkit to support individuals in preparing for and navigating chance events and career shocks by giving meaning to their careers and living their best life.
Care and Koha (Gifts)
Authors: Hall Katherine
Published: June 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic challenges us to rethink of the role of health humanities and its relationship to medicine. How medicine regards health humanities has evolved from a desirable hobby or pastime into a complementary practice to improve core medical skills. As the pandemic revolves, evolves, and resolves, there is a need for health humanities to provide a moral and social conscience for medicine, especially around issues of health inequities, given the difficulties that bioethics now has in performing this role. It is an advantage to be positioned outside medicine in performing this very necessary task, which has been so illuminated by the experiences of the pandemic. Narratives, in all forms, continue to inspire action: a gift (koha) from health humanities, which cares for both those who receive and give.

Authors: Waithaka Mercy Wangechi , Omwoyo Onyancha Bosire
Published: June 2023

Abstract open access (OA) scholarship has become a buzzword among different stakeholders including researchers, universities, governments, funders, publishers, and journal vendors. The successful acceptance and adoption of OA scholarly publishing (OASP), however, depends on many factors. Using the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) as a theoretical lens, this study examined the extent to which the UTAUT variables influence the adoption and use of OASP in selected universities in Kenya. The study adopted a quantitative approach with a survey as research design and targeted 341 teaching staff at the University of Nairobi (UoN), Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), and Kenyatta University (KU). A questionnaire, structured according to the UTAUT variables, was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics and regression analysis.
Facilitating Critical Discussions With Adolescents
Authors: Shanahan Eileen
Published: June 2023

This chapter highlights one pre-service teacher's approach to facilitating critical conversations during his student teaching experience. Situated in a 6th grade English language arts classroom, the pre-service teacher aimed to engage his students in small and whole class discussions around issues of race, immigration, and stereotyping during a world cultural literature unit he planned. Using excerpts from classroom discussions, data suggest that he responded to student dialogue in one of three ways: advancing student dialogue that was consistent with his instructional goals, 2) disrupting student dialogue that was inconsistent with his goals, or 3) overlooking uncomfortable or complex student dialogue that was inconsistent with his instructional goals. Implications from this research suggest the need for more opportunities during teacher education programs for pre-service teachers to engage in approximations, calculated planning, and mentoring conversations designed to better prepare pre-service teachers for facilitating academic discourse around controversial topics.
Empowering Students
Authors: Jang Soon Young , Navarro-Cruz Giselle , Kennedy Denise , Ly-Hoang Kheng
Published: June 2023

This chapter showcases how faculty in the early childhood studies department in one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse states in the United States create discourse spaces to empower students. These spaces invite students to critically explore how the power relations of society affect individuals' language development, learning, and identities. In so doing, the English monolingual norm of educational settings is questioned. The faculty empowers students, many of whom are dual language learners themselves, by providing them with the theoretical and pedagogical foundations to best support our youngest citizens, who are more linguistically and culturally diverse than ever. This chapter provides numerous assignment examples that illustrate how each course creates a pedagogical discourse space to honor the languages and cultures of all students, to decenter the English norm that is prevalent in the education system, and to enable students to create more linguistically and culturally inclusive and equitable classrooms.

Privacy Protection of Cloud Computing Based on Strong Forward Security
Authors: Li Fengyin , Wang Junhui , Song Zhihao
Published: June 2023

Cloud computing is a new information technology. It is the product of the scientific and technological development of the times and plays an important role in the development of this country. In order to effectively solve the security problem of cloud computing data access, an identity-based privacy protection algorithm for cloud computing is proposed. The user information is stored in the cloud server at the registration stage, and the user identity is verified by signature when the information is obtained. The strong forward secure signature scheme can ensure that the signature is both forward secure and backward secure. At present, most signature schemes based on lattice focus on forward security. Therefore, this article constructs a strong forward secure signature scheme based on lattice and applies this signature scheme to cloud user authentication to ensure security.
Book Review
Authors: Wang Chenghao , Xu Wenying
Published: June 2023

The creation of beautiful literature and art is one of humanity's most essential endeavours. The importance of literature as a component of the language-teaching curriculum has fluctuated over the last century with the popularity of various language-teaching pedagogies. Notwithstanding, it has recently seen a resurrection of appreciation for its effective utility in language acquisition. Covid-19 lockdown combined with the further progress of computer-assisted language learning has led to a gradual shift in the provision of literature-based language education to an online setting. Under this trend, Sandra Stadler-Heer and Amos Paran's edited chapter book Taking Literature and Language Learning Online: New Perspectives on Teaching, Research and Technology concentrates on a particular component of this transfer process, namely the interaction between literature and language learning. This book review provides an overview of this volume.
A Study of Customer Acceptance of Artificial Intelligence Technology
Authors: Choi Youngkeun
Published: June 2023

This research aims to investigate the acceptance of artificial intelligence (AI) technology-enabled services by customers during front-line service meetings. The study collected data from 412 Korean individuals through an online survey and utilized hierarchical regression analysis to test the hypotheses. The results of the study show that the clarity of the roles of both the customer and the AI, the customer's motivation to adopt AI-based technology, and the customer's ability to use AI devices increase the likelihood of acceptance of AI devices. However, concerns related to privacy weaken the relationship between role clarity and customer acceptance, while trust in AI technology strengthens the relationship between ability and customer acceptance.
Corporate Social Performance and Firm Location
Authors: Dawar Gaurav , Bhatia Shivangi
Published: June 2023

The study addresses the relationship between firm location and the corporate social performance (CSP) of manufacturing enterprises in India. The study argues that a higher number of multinational corporations (MNCs) at a location leads to higher social performance. An environment and social involvement (ESI) index, based on ISO26000 and National Voluntary Guidelines, has been used to measure the corporate social performance of manufacturing enterprises. The data are obtained through questionnaires from a survey of 121 medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in the national capital region in India and analyzed through one-way ANOVA and linear regression. Results reveal that the presence of MNCs at the location of enterprises is significant to their CSP. The findings of the study aggregate to make original and substantive contributions to the CSP literature on the geography of strategic management. This research is valuable for social responsibility practitioners in developing countries for start-ups and small and medium enterprises who are seeking to enhance their understanding to formulate pragmatic and effective strategies to improve CSP.

Authors: Tsegah Marian , Yamson George Clifford
Published: June 2023

With the advancement of technology, the widespread use of mobile phones for internet access has become routine for many people. This trend has also impacted how the elderly maintain social relationships, which is a crucial aspect of healthy aging. To address this research question, a survey employing questionnaires was conducted, targeting a large sample of elderly individuals aged 50 years and above in the Ningo-Prampram district of Ghana. The study revealed that a significant number of respondents were hesitant to use social media, primarily due to the perception that it could disrupt communal culture and social relations. These findings highlight the need for further investigation into the usage and perception of computer-mediated communication (CMC) among the elderly, including those from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Exploring these aspects could uncover valuable opportunities to improve the digital experiences and social well-being of the elderly population.
