Authors: Abdul Razak Nurul Afiqah , Rozekhi Nor Azureen , Hussin Shahril
Published: October 2024

The Korean Wave, also known as Hallyu, has significantly impacted global culture, and has affected people around the world. This influence has also become a trend in Malaysia, where Korean cultural products are widely embraced, especially by the younger generation. The authenticity of Korean flavors is essential for maintaining its unique culinary identity while health-conscious markets around the world have led to a surge in demand for Korean food Therefore, this study aims to assess the consumer acceptance of Korean food in Malaysia, particularly in Sungai Petani, Kedah, and Pulau Pinang. The Korean Wave, which represents the global popularity of South Korean culture since the 2000s, has exerted a considerable influence on various cultural aspects, including cuisine. Through a quantitative survey, data were collected from 150 participants in the northern area, specifically targeting Generations Y and Z through convenience sampling. The collected data was then analyzed for descriptive statistics, and the correlation to test the hypotheses. The results indicate a significant positive correlation between consumer acceptance of Korean food, health perspectives, and authentic taste variables. The findings of this study suggest that increased exposure to Korean culture through the Korean Wave boosts consumer acceptance and purchase intentions for Korean food culture in Malaysia. This information is valuable for marketers and restaurateurs seeking to capture the growing demand for Korean cuisine. This study offers a localized perspective on the global phenomenon of Korean cultural influence and provides practical recommendations for future research.

Published: October 2024

Globalization and other environmental issues are causing problems for organizations. Improving employee performance is the responsibility of any organization, as it is crucial for the attainment of optimal objectives. An employee’s reputation is improved by performing well on the job, which helps them advance in their professions. Without effective remuneration and motivation, it can affect employee performance in the organization. Other than that, the past researchers regarding this study also discussed. The relationship between independent variables and dependent variables was assessed using descriptive analysis, normality analysis, reliability analysis, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis in this study. The population and sample of employees in the selected organization in Perak. The total population of 250 respondents in the company, and the sampling size was 148 respondents based on the Krejcie & Morgan table. Data collection in this study was conducted through questionnaires, and the data were analyzed using SPSS 20. The findings indicated that employee performance is significantly and positively influenced by remuneration and work motivation, with motivation being the most significant factor in the performance of education employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: October 2024

Malaysia's aquaculture industry has seen significant growth in recent years, with the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) emerging as a key species of economic importance. This study examines the intricate challenges faced by hatchery owners’ breeding facilities in Manjung, Perak, Malaysia as they strive to maintain and improve the brood stock production of this valuable crustacean. The research focuses on  multifaceted, operational aspects of managing giant freshwater prawn hatcheries. Through a combination of field studies guided by  qualitative methodology, the identification of primary obstacles encountered at  Manjung breeding facilities was evaluated via current management practices. The findings revealed that hatchery owners lack adequate managerial skills in handling operational matters such as budgeting, labor utilization, utilities, marketing, and networking. The most critical factor was  cost-effective sourcing of healthy, brood stock supply from local fishermen. Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of genetic diversity in broodstock populations as hatcheries struggle with inbreeding depression, necessitating the development of more robust breeding programs. From the socio-economic standpoint, a holistic approach to addressing these issues, emphasizes the need for increased collaboration between research institutions, government agencies, and private sector stakeholders. The study provided a comprehensive overview of the complexities inherent in managing giant freshwater prawn breeding facilities in Malaysia. By identifying key challenges and potential solutions, it aims to contribute to the sustainable development of this vital sector of Malaysia's aquaculture industry. The findings have implications for policy-making, industry practices, and future research directions in the field of freshwater prawn aquaculture and food security agenda.????????????????

Published: October 2024

This research illuminates the determinants and outcomes of Islamic financial literacy as scrutinized in prior investigations. A systematic literature review unfolded across the Scopus database from 2016 to 2023. This investigation encompasses 22 articles from the 40 scholarly works extracted from the Scopus database. The Journal of Islamic Accounting and Business Research emerges as the most prolific disseminator of insights into the determinants and outcomes of Islamic financial literacy, credited to its robust publication frequency throughout the year. The autonomous and reliant facets of Islamic financial literacy were predominantly studied, with emphasis not only on individual dynamics but also on business perspectives. The determinants instigating Islamic financial literacy congregate within the affective, conative, family influence, self-controlled, and demographic predictors. Conversely, the ramifications stemming from Islamic financial literacy manifest in cognitive, affective, and conative dimensions, leaving an indelible imprint on the business realm. Geographic focus reveals a concentration of prior investigation within Muslim-majority nations, predominantly Indonesia. Furthermore, the investigation discovers that past studies were mainly conducted in the context of Islamic banking. The evidence from the present study provides input to researchers in conducting further research on Islamic financial literacy.
Ai and/as racialised political theology
Authors: Ali Syed
Published: October 2024

Building on earlier work engaging with the entanglement of artificial
intelligence (AI) and apocalypticism and both with whiteness (Ali 2019), in
the present essay I explore AI through the lens of a political theology
informed by critical race theory and decolonial thought. The essay begins by
setting out the meaning of a few key concepts, viz. AI, political theology,
?The World?, and the apocalyptic, before going on to consider their
relationship, and concludes by briefly sketching an oppositional stance that
I suggest is appropriate to adopt in relation to AI where the latter is
understood as a manifestation of racialised political theology.
The Interplay of Persistent Organic Pollutants and Mediterranean Diet in Association With the Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Yu Guoqi , Pang Wei Wei , Yang Jiaxi , Guivarch Claire , Grewal Jagteshwar , Chen Zhen , Zhang Cuilin
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE

Certain foods characterizing the alternate Mediterranean diet (aMED) are high in persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which are related to greater gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. We examined the associations of combined aMED and POP exposure with GDM.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

aMED score of 1,572 pregnant women was derived from food frequency questionnaires at early pregnancy within the U.S. Fetal Growth Study and plasma concentrations of 76 POPs, including organochlorine pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, were measured. Associations of combined aMED score and exposure to POPs with GDM risk were examined by multivariable logistic regression models.

RESULTS

In 61 of 1,572 (3.88%) women with GDM, 25 of 53 included POPs had a detection rate >50%. Higher POP levels appeared to diminish potential beneficial associations of aMED score with GDM risk, with the lowest GDM risk observed among women with both high aMED score and low POP concentrations. Specifically, adjusted log-odds ratios of GDM risk comparing women with low PCB and high aMED score with those with low aMED score and high PCB concentrations was −0.74 (95% CI −1.41, −0.07). Inverse associations were also observed among women with low aMED score and high TransNo_chlor, PCB182_187, PCB196_203, PCB199, and PCB206. These associations were more pronounced among women with overweight or obesity.

CONCLUSIONS

Pregnant women who consumed a healthy Mediterranean diet but had a low exposure to POP concentrations had the lowest GDM risk. Future endeavors to promote a healthy diet to prevent GDM may consider concurrent POP exposure.

Key aspects of the economic security development in the practice of regional management (part 2)
Authors: Korableva Anna A. , Breusova Anna G.
Published: October 2024

The development of the economic security of the region (ESR) is a key factor in increasing the resilience of the regional economy to modern challenges and threats, as indicated by the Strategy of Economic Security of Russia until 2030. Conditions for restricting sales and supplies, and destruction of existing logistics chains make the task of developing the ESR especially urgent. At the same time, the high abstractness of the concept of economic security raises new questions for researchers, including what the development of economic security is, how this development can be ensured, etc. The development of economic security implies the management of this development. However, neither the scientific community nor the practice of regional management has yet developed a holistic view of the ESR management system. In this regard, the subject of the study is the management of economic security from the positions of "as it is now" and "as it should be". For this purpose, the article analyzes the established management and monitoring practices, the possibilities of interaction of subjects and the institutional environment of the development of the ESR. The conducted research is presented in two parts. The second part of the article summarizes the key elements of the ESR management system. The article introduces the concept of maturity of the ESR management system as a measure of awareness and readiness of the management system for the successful implementation of security tasks, suggests a way to assess it based on the identified elements of the institutional environment and the Strategy of the development of the ESR. The minimum conditions for the development of the ESR are presented. The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of their application by regional authorities to improve the management system, monitoring and development of the economic security of the region.
Economic security in the border regions of Siberia
Authors: Roy Oleg M.
Published: October 2024

Russia has a huge area of border regions, which, on the one hand, have opportunities to establish business cooperation with a neighboring state, but, on the other hand, are forced to respond to the risks of a border location. The problems of cross-border cooperation are of particular relevance today for the regions of the Siberian Federal District, since in the context of the activation of the Asian direction of Russia's foreign economic strategy, the role of cooperation between the Siberian regions with the regions of Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China is increasing. The purpose of the article is to assess the economic security of the border regions of Siberia - the Omsk and Novosibirsk regions, the Altai Territory and the republics of Altai and Tyva - in terms of compliance with the key criteria of cross-border location - population, border facilities, trade turnover structure, etc. The article highlights the main signs of economic security of the border region, formulates its quantitative and qualitative characteristics, identifies potential threats and risks that require the formation of a special system of economic security of the border region. The author makes a division between potential and actual threats to economic security, examines the channels of influence of social and economic development of the border regions of the neighboring country on the economic security of the Siberian regions. The article presents a comparative analysis of the border regions of the Siberian Federal District on key parameters of economic security, on the basis of which trends and problems of regional development were identified. In the final part of the article, the author formulated promising directions for establishing cross-border cooperation between the regions of Siberia and the regions of neighboring states in the current conditions, and made recommendations for the development of border regions.
Institutional transformations of wage labor: theoretical and methodological imperatives
Authors: Sotnikova Svetlana I.
Published: October 2024

Transformation in modern Russia is associated with new opportunities and risks of wage labor, entailing a transition from traditional organizational and legal methods and conditions for the use of labor to atypical ones. The explanation of the ongoing institutional changes in wage labor is associated with the emergence of not just new paradigms of economic knowledge, but a new terminological apparatus. The purpose of this article is to develop the conceptual foundations of institutional transformations of wage labor, which are set by the multiplicative effect of its conversion and deconversion. The methodology of the research is based on a theoretical analysis of bibliographic sources about modern macroeconomic challenges for wage labor. The hypothesis of the study is that the capitalization of labor is inevitably accompanied by the capitalization of labor, and to a greater extent than the capitalization of jobs. Based on the synergetic approach, the article examines the basics of the concept of transformation of wage labor, the essential characteristics and trends of its conversion and deconversion in Russia. The scientific novelty consists in clarifying and substantiating the theoretical imperatives of conversion and reconversion of wage labor in the Russian Federation. The study of the multiplicative effect of conversion and reconversion of the sphere of labor becomes an independent scientific problem in the development of theoretical and applied foundations of economic policy of the state, region, and organization.

Telematics complex as an element of health protection, improving the efficiency and safety of JSC "Russian railways" transportation
Authors: Gladysheva Anna A. , Gladyshev Alexander A. , Basova Anna V.
Published: October 2024

Modern development of railway transport entails changes in all areas related to the transportation of both passengers and cargo. An increase in the tonnage of cargo transportation, length of trains, introduction of an elongated turnover shoulder to increase the speed of the train, introduction of a driver driving system without an assistant, lead to an increase in psychophysical loads on workers providing direct transportation. Therefore, the policy of "Russian Railways" in the field of transportation safety and health protection should take into account the expected changes and anticipate the occurrence of possible negative consequences by introducing preventive measures. The complex of measures related to improving transportation safety is closely interrelated with labor protection and health of employees of locomotive and train crews. But, if the drivers currently have a system for monitoring the physiological state of the initial level (control of falling asleep), then other employees of the train crew do not have it. The system of prevention of occupational diseases is limited only to annual medical examinations. Despite the fact that JSC "Russian Railways" declares a policy that supports occupational safety and a healthy lifestyle, it is necessary to study new directions in this area in more detail.
"Green" communication: consumer' reaction to the fuel and energy companies' brands marketing efforts in social networks
Authors: Mysakova Alina G.
Published: October 2024

The study examines the "green" communication activity of Russian fuel and energy companies through social media communities in the context of the global energy system transformation, where environmental communication is a means of transmitting sustainability, causing understanding and meaningfulness, benefiting both the company and the environment. The relationship between companies' messages about sustainable development and their impact on the target audience, as well as their perception and intentions to purchase from energy brands in the context of the transition to a low-carbon economy was analyzed. This study examines a new vector of "green" marketing in the way it manifests itself in the social networks of fuel and energy companies, by testing the perception of the brand and the intention to make a purchase based on environmentally conscious posts. The survey was analyzed based on the responses of 217 respondents using the products and services of Russian oil and gas companies on cultural, economic, environmental and social aspects of sustainability, showing that "green" communication is more effective for brands in an environment characterized by high awareness of the needs for sustainability and the need to change certain business processes. Successful "eco" communications contribute to building trust, reputation and a positive impact on the company and its ecosystem. While this tool can bring a lot of added value, inappropriate communication can cause great damage to business reputation. The study shows that oil and gas industry companies should take into account cultural peculiarities when providing information about the company's transition to the "green" side.

Authors: Suwondo Suwondo , Syahrul Syahrul , Effendi Irwan , Dewita Dewita
Published: October 2024

Catfish (Pangasianodon hypothalamus) are known in Asia, specifically in Southeast Asia. Currently, this fish has been exported to almost all countries in the world. This research aimed to examine the existing conditions of the solid waste produced, analyze the chemical composition of the waste, and look for alternatives for the policy and economical use of waste in the catfish processing business. Using the survey method, data were gathered through measurement at the research location and laboratory, interviews with business owners, and field observations. Proximate analysis was conducted on pink slime meat, belly fat, bones, and fish innards. Analysis of acid number, saponification number, iodine number, and fat fatty acid was carried out on stomach fat. Meanwhile, amino acid analysis was carried out for pink slime meat. Handling catfish industrial waste has yet to be carried out properly, which causes a foul smell and disturbs the environment. The catfish industry waste’s chemical content (protein, fat, water content, carbohydrates, and fatty acids) (pink slime meat, belly fat, fish bones, and innards) is still relatively applicable. The study processed fish waste into products like instant porridge, analogous fish sago rice, and fish sago noodles. The proximate analysis results of these products show figures that exceed the minimum standards for similar products.

Der Beitrag untersucht die Frühgeschichte der ADHS-Diagnose und wie die Schweizer Pädagogik auf neue psychiatrische Diagnosen reagierte.
Age determination of the Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus) using the pulp cavity–tooth width ratio
Authors: Czajkowska Natalia , Pokojska Anna
Published: October 2024

The aim of this study was to ascertain the suitability of an age determination method which uses the ratio between the width of the pulp cavity and the width of the tooth itself. The measurements were obtained from X-ray pictures of individual teeth using an intraoral sensor. We found that with age, the ratio decreased, and that this change was more prominent in the maxillary canines (104 and 204) than the mandibular (304 and 404). The Arctic fox heads used in this study were sourced from a private fur farm from Poland, and were deep-frozen until the research began.

The results suggest that the method we used is reliable for determining the age of an individual, however, it can be inaccurate due to the fact it doesn’t consider three-dimensional changes occurring in the dental cavity and the shape of the tooth. On the other hand, this method is far more accessible and simpler than, for example, one utilising three-dimensional imaging, since most veterinary practices are equipped with basic X-ray equipment.

Published: October 2024

Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyse and compare the initial health situation before starting the lifestyle programme in 4 editions of the programme.
 
Theoretical framework: HaSEN is an annual intervention programme for the generation of healthy habits on eating behaviour (psychonutrition) and active lifestyle (physical exercise) in university workers in the contemplative phase of motivation to change.
 
Methods: A total of 74 workers participated between the 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 editions from a Spanish university (24-59 years; M = 42.3; SD = 8.5) 19 men (26%) and 55 women (74%). Anthropometric, biological, lifestyle and psychological variables were analysed.
 
Results and Discussion: Anthropometric, biological, lifestyle and psychological variables were analysed. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet in the 2021 edition workers at the start of the intervention was found to be higher than in 2019 and achievement motivation higher than in 2020, results that could be related to the special situation derived from the Covid-19 pandemic.
 
Implications of the research: This shows the importance of knowing the baseline health status of workers in behaviours such as those observed in the last edition (2022) in terms of worsening adherence to the Mediterranean diet. This aspect highlights the need to apply interventions such as the HaSEN programme for the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle in terms of nutrition and physical exercise behaviour in the population under study.
 
Originality/value: This study contributes to the scientific literature on public health in the population of university workers. It provides retrospective and prospective information on baseline health status and motivation to change habits to maintain a lifestyle in a working population subjected to high levels of work demands and the implications that this may have on the overall health status of this population.

Influence of Fermented Icacinia manni Meal on Growth Performance, Carcass, Internal Organs and Nutrient Digestibility of Weaner Rabbits
Authors: Essien, Comfort Abel
Published: October 2024

A twelve-week trial was conducted to determine the effect of fermented Icacinia manni meal on the performance, carcass, internal organs and nutrient digestibility coefficient of young growing rabbits. A total of forty (40) growing rabbits were used for the study.  Four (4) experimental diets were formulated and labeled (T1, T2, T3 and T4. T1 (the control) had no fermented Icacinia manni meal, while T2, T3 and T4 contained fermented Icacinia manni meal at 5%, 10% and 15%, respectively, partly replacing maize in the diets. The rabbits were divided into four (4) treatments of ten rabbits, and each treatment was allotted to one of the experimental diets using a completely randomized design (CRD). Each treatment was further sub-divided into five replicates of two rabbits each and house individually in double-tier hutches. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum. Data collected were subjected to a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). There were no significant (p>0.05) differences in feed intake, growth performance and feed conversion ratio of the growing rabbit. The values for live weight, dressed weight and dressing percentages of the growing rabbits were statistically similar (p<0.05). The internal organs (heart, lungs, liver and kidney) were not significantly affected (p>0.05) by the diets. The nutrient digestibility coefficient of the growing rabbits was influenced by the diet. It was concluded that fermented Icacinia manni meal could be included in rabbit diet up to 15% with no deleterious effects on the animals.
Economic Security in Border Areas: The Fulfillment of Community Welfare
Authors: Bangun Budi Hermawan , Kinanti Fatma Muthia , Darajati Muhammad Rafi
Published: October 2024

Border area management entails navigating geographical complexity and socio-cultural diversity, necessitating a comprehensive approach that integrates security and welfare. This article highlights a paradigm shift from traditional to economic security, recognizing economic dependence as a potential national vulnerability. Despite challenges like geographic remoteness and economic inequality, border regions are vital for economic growth. Using a conceptual approach, the article emphasizes the need to balance security and welfare through cross-border trade development and community empowerment. While Law Number 43 of 2008 aims to manage borders, unclear authority and regulatory overlap hinder effectiveness, compounded by military-focused defense strategies, limited budgets, and inadequate infrastructure. To address these issues, enhancing international cooperation, clarifying authority, and empowering communities through local wisdom are essential. Such empowerment is expected to bolster self-esteem, reduce economic dependency, and strengthen economic security, emphasizing the importance of balancing protection with economic development. Strategies like expanding trade zones and enhancing social capital, alongside infrastructure development and improved social services, are crucial for ensuring access and fostering the welfare of border communities.

This study investigates the effects of parkour activity (PA) on physical fitness and grit for youth soccer athletes. True experimental research with a random control trial design for 12 weeks was adopted in this study. There were 78 male youth soccer athletes involved in the experimental (PA, n = 39) and control group (CG, n = 39) groups. The PA intervention program was carried out three times a week for 12 weeks. Pre-post-intervention tests were carried out to assess physical fitness and grit. The results of repeated measures ANOVA showed that there were significant effects of time, group, and time*group interaction on physical fitness (all, p < .05) and grit (all, p < .05). Meanwhile, Student’s paired t-test results show that the PA group experienced significant differences scores between pre-and post-test in physical fitness (all, p < .05) and grit (all, p < .05), but in CG the differences were significant only occurred in sprint test 30m (p < .05), Illinois agility test (p < .05), hand grip test (p < .05) and there was no other difference, including grit (p > .05). In conclusion, we highlight that PA is the valid method to promote physical fitness and grit in youth soccer athletes.

Polymorbidity is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in the aging population. The present study analyses the prevalence and explores the determinants of polymorbidity among middle-aged and older adults. The study utilizes the 2017–2018 Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI 2017–2018), a national representative dataset on health conditions of people aged 45 years and above, to study the relative risk estimates. The analysis uses the multinomial logit model (MNL) with their relative risk ratios (RRR). The findings of RRR suggest that the risk of polymorbidity significantly depends on parents’ medical history, residing in a front-runner state, and consultation at healthcare centers in both middle-aged and older adults. The prevalence of severe polymorbidity is higher among well-educated individuals and rural residents. The richer household carries a lower risk of polymorbidity, and the older adults from the general caste category are at higher risk of severe polymorbidity. The findings aim to redress the problems attached to the old age population in India. The paper recommends promoting preventive and precautionary attitudes over curative attitudes through health policies by introducing a patient-oriented and disease-centered approach to healthcare provision in India.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh diversitas dewan direksi (gender dan latar belakang pendidikan) terhadap pertumbuhan dan reputasi perusahaan, menganalisis pengaruh diversitas dewan direksi (gender dan latar belakang pendidikan), pertumbuhan perusahaan, dan reputasi perusahaan terhadap nilai perusahaan, serta menganalisis pengaruh diversitas dewan direksi (gender dan latar belakang pendidikan) terhadap nilai perusahaan yang dimediasi oleh pertumbuhan dan reputasi perusahaan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode purposive sampling dalam pemilihan sampel dan menggunakan data sekunder, yaitu laporan tahunan perusahaan yang dipublikasikan oleh perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia selama tahun 2018-2020 dan indeks Corporate Image Index (CII). Jumlah perusahaan yang diobservasi adalah 26 perusahaan dengan total data yang sebanyak 59 data. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah metode analisis jalur serta uji sobel untuk pengujian hipotesis mediasi. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa diversitas gender berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan dan nilai perusahaan dan berpengaruh positif tidak signifikan terhadap reputasi perusahaan. Diversitas latar belakang pendidikan berpengaruh positif tetapi tidak signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan perusahaan, berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap reputasi perusahaan, serta berpengaruh negatif tidak signifikan terhadap nilai perusahaan. Pertumbuhan dan reputasi berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap nilai perusahaan. Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan memediasi pengaruh diversitas gender terhadap nilai perusahaan, tetapi tidak memediasi pengaruh diversitas latar belakang pendidikan terhadap nilai perusahaan. Terakhir, reputasi tidak memediasi pengaruh diversitas gender terhadap nilai perusahaan, tetapi memediasi pengaruh diversitas latar belakang pendidikan terhadap nilai perusahaan

Background: Hospital-acquired occipital pressure injuries are a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in the perioperative setting. Purpose: To find the occipital cushion/pillow with the lowest measured peak pressures and the highest measured surface area using pressure mapping technology. Materials and Methods: A quality improvement project involving 3 operating room staff volunteers was conducted using pressure mapping. Five different pillows were tested based on what the study location commonly used and had available. The pillows included: standard pillow with pillowcase, non-powered fluidized positioner, medium-sized (17 × 17 × 1.5 inches) static seat cushion placed under the shoulders and head, pediatric-sized (13 × 13 × 2 inches) static air cushion placed under the head, and foam donut. Results: The non-powered fluidized positioner had the highest average pressure and peak pressure for all 3 volunteers. The medium static air seat cushion had the lowest average and peak pressures for 2 out of 3 volunteers. None of the head cushions consistently demonstrated a larger surface area of pressure distribution. Conclusions: The medium-sized static air seat cushion, placed under the shoulders and head, demonstrated the most favorable pressure redistribution properties. The non-powered fluidized positioner demonstrated the least favorable pressure redistribution properties.
