Examining the Effect of Bank Health Level towards Stock Return of Commercial Banks in Three-Selected ASEAN Countries
Authors: Sandora Ria , Saleh Mustaruddin
Published: March 2024

Today, various main factors, including the banking sector, support a country's economy. The growth and performance of banks in a country are factors in measuring the country's economic growth. The increasing number of banking stocks traded in ASEAN countries proves banking development. However, since middle-to-low-income countries dominate ASEAN, it opens up a greater risk to the volatility of bank stock returns because of economic turmoil. Non-performing loans (NPL), Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Return on Assets (ROA), and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) are found to influence bank stock return in some studies, but other similar studies show the opposite. Therefore, this study uses 28 banks in ASEAN countries as a sample, consisting of 10 Indonesian banks, 8 Malaysian banks, and 10 Thailand banks. Data analysis uses regression analysis with moderated regression analysis (MRA) and discrimination tests. The result shows NPL and GCG have no significant effect on bank stock return, ROA has a positive and significant effect, and CAR has a negative and significant effect. Price to Book Value (PBV) has a positive and significant effect on bank stock return but can only moderate ROA on stock return. The discrimination test shows that ASEAN countries' NPL, GCG, ROA, and CAR differ significantly. Therefore, banks in ASEAN ought to maintain their health through these factors to maximize their stock return.

Published: March 2024

With a city growing in size, capacity, density, and intensity, walkability in the Bangkapi district (Bangkok, Thailand) represents a challenge to produce more inclusive transportation through mobility planning that suits the multimodal transportation system (skywalk, MRT lines, water transportation) and the walking experience of the pedestrian. Drawing from Bangkok’s Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) strategic plan, the challenge lies in the balancing point of efficiently and effectively elevating walkability while keeping the local urban identity. This study investigates the notion of walkability as both a ground-up participatory design process and within the overall mobility planning framework by reviewing both Thai and international sidewalk standards and through interviews with stakeholders. We conclude by producing an experimental design guide and policy recommendations on how area-specific sidewalks have the potential in shaping more feasible and equitable mobility planning from the ground up.

Authors:   Special Education Research Institute, Kim Su-min , Lim Kyoung-won
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the practical knowledge of special school teachers gained during agricultural classes applying the project learning method to special education students. To achieve this, we applied the action research method and attempted to find areas for improvement through repeated class implementation and subsequent reflection. The study was conducted in rounds 1 and 2, and participants included teachers as researchers, teachers observing classes, and students participating in the study. As a result of analyzing the collected data, three upper categories of 'From sowing to cooking: Practicing self-directed agricultural project class: ', 'Students-initiated project learning featured with value of sharing', and 'Expanding the breadth and depth of agricultural experience' were organized, and which has following nine subcategories and thirty four semantic themes. As a result of the study, first of all, it is confirmed that the self-directed learning of participants can be enhanced when appropriate support and scaffolding are provided by the teacher considering the each participant’s varying performance level in agricultural classes to which the project learning method is applied. Second, it is indicated that the project learning method is more effective when it is involved with cooperative learning or peer teaching rather than 1:1 teaching or direct teaching strategy. Third, it was found that agricultural classes need to be operated in various ways in consideration of the school environment and the level of performance of students. Finally, through this study, we discussed how to utilize the project learning method for self-directed class participation of students with intellectual disabilities and suggested it for follow-up research.

New Face Recognition System Based on DCT Pyramid and Backpropagation Neural Network
Authors: Alane Badreddine , Terchi Younes , Bouguezel Saad
Published: March 2024

Face recognition has emerged as a prominent biometric identification technique with applications ranging from security to human-computer interaction. This paper proposes a new face recognition system by appropriately combining techniques for improved accuracy. Specifically, it incorporates a discrete cosine transform (DCT) pyramid for feature extraction, statistical measures for dimensionality reduction of the features, and a two-layer backpropagation neural network for classification. The DCT pyramid is used to effectively capture both low- and high-frequency information from face images to improve the ability of the system to recognise faces accurately. Meanwhile, the introduction of statistical measures for dimensionality reduction helps in decreasing the computational complexity and provides better discrimination, leading to more efficient processing. Moreover, the two-layer neural network introduced, which plays a vital role in efficiently handling complex patterns, further enhances the recognition capabilities of the system. As a result of these advancements, the system achieves an outstanding 99 % recognition rate on the Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL) data set, 98.88 % on YALE, and 99.16 % on AR. This performance demonstrates the robustness and potential of the proposed system for real-world applications in face recognition.
Development of a Position Control System for Wheeled Humanoid Robot Movement Using the Swerve Drive Method Based on Fuzzy Logic Type-2
Authors: Suprapto Bhakti Yudho , Dwijayanti Suci , Amri Djulil
Published: March 2024

A humanoid robot is capable of mimicking human movements, which poses a challenge for researchers. This has led some to utilise wheels to facilitate its motion. However, achieving smooth and accurate movements at desired positions remains a challenge, necessitating the development of an optimal control system and movement method. In this study, solutions to address these challenges include the use of type-2 fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and the swerve drive method. During the steering rotation movement testing, type-1 FLC exhibits the fastest response time of 0.8 seconds, but oscillations occur, reaching up to 117 degrees to achieve the set point of 90 degrees. Additionally, type-1 FLC cannot reach the set point of -90 degrees. On the contrary, type-2 FLC aligns successfully with both set points of 90 and -90 degrees. In coordinate movement testing, type-1 FLC still shows an error between 1 cm and 2 cm compared to type-2 FLC, particularly with 3 and 5 members, which are equal to the given set point. The results of the tests indicate that type-2 FLC is reliable, showing a small steady-state error, stability, and no overshoot, despite its longer response time and processing duration compared to type-1 FLC.
Das Scheitern der Querfront und seine Ursachen
Authors: Pesch Jan-Hinrick
Published: March 2024

Sahra Wagenknecht’s late political ambitions sparked a public debate in Germany. Concerns were stressed regarding the potential collaboration of leftists and rightists typically referred to as Querfront. However, as a glance at history reveals, such cooperation of conflicting political forces regularly failed in practice. The author aimed at unravelling the understudied causes of this failure. Based on theoretical concepts designed to elucidate the interaction of political organisations and groups, his research examines cases of German left-wing and right-wing extremist actors. As a result, the author offers an explanatory approach which might apply to other forms of cross-faction political cooperation, too.

Authors: Amin Zakir , A. Mohiddin Fayaz , Farooq Shazia
Published: March 2024

Trichoderma has been found to have effectiveness against a vast range of plant diseases and can be a good alternative biocontrol strategy in the modern era of plant disease management. It has been found effective against soil borne pathogens and nematodes. Trichoderma has been isolated from variable soils and has multifaceted application other than disease management. Trichoderma enhances plant growth and development by boosting the plant’s capacity to absorb nutrients, increasing systemic resistance to pest and/or pathogen attacks in the future, increasing tolerance to abiotic stresses (such as salinity, drought, and low temperatures). For instance, the stress on organic management in the modern cropping system, Trichoderma is a promising soil enhancer and can have handful applicability for diseases particularly those of soil borne ones. Its competitive mechanism and antagonistic approaches to compete with other pathogens makes it a good fit for future crop management strategies.

Published: March 2024

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease, affecting the central nervous system that causes significant disability and healthcare burden. Pulse-dosage corticosteroid therapy (GCT) remains the mainstay of treatment of exacerbations of multiple sclerosis. A total of 98 patients were examined, including 28 patients with relapsing-remitting MS (24 women and 4 men) and 70 patients with secondary progressive MS (57 women and 13 men). The number of GCT therapy courses in 98 patients at all disease stages totalled 536: 98 in RR MS (9 at debuts and 89 at RRS) and 438 in SP MS (11 at debuts, 178 at RRS and 249 at SPS). The efficacy of repeated courses of GCT therapy in patients with RR and SP MS was evaluated at different stages of the disease progression: debut in RR and SP MS, RRS in RR and SP MS and SPS in SP MS, including retrospective analysis. Important conclusions have been made about complex systemic reorganisation at different stages of relapsing-remitting and secondary-progredient types of MS, efficiency of GCT in different types of MS and stages of pathological process and about influence of GTC on the prognosis of the disease.

Published: March 2024

Not all waste is completely burned by waste-to-energy plants. About 73% of it is bottom ashes (BA). Sustainable reuse of the BA is to reprocess them into the production chain of the asphalt mixtures for road pavements. This research deals with an experimental investigation of the mechanical performance of hot and cold asphalt mastics made with the BA filler versus the traditional ones containing limestone powder (LP). First, environmental compatibility tests were carried out and then a rheological analysis, applying viscosity, frequency sweep, and multiple stress creep and recovery tests, was performed to check the feasibility of using the BA as a filler for asphalt-based materials. Looking at the main results, the ecotoxicological tests in terms of EC50 for toxicity on Daphnia and EC50 for algal growth inhibition confirmed the usability of all the mastics from an environmental point of view. The rheological results showed higher G* values for cold asphalt mastics made up with the BA compared to the corresponding solutions made with the LP. Additionally, it was also observed that the mastics containing BA returned a 90% decrease in non-recoverable creep compliance at test temperatures over 40°C compared to the corresponding mastics made with the LP.

Published: March 2024

This paper aims to explore the male domination that affected almost women under the African patriarchal traditional system. This article also examines how female characters challenge the several subordinations and suffering as a result of domestic violence experienced at their matrimonial homes. The theoretical perspective that framed the study was feminism. The data were obtained by selecting some relevant excerpts analysing the two novels (The Bride Price, Purple Hibiscus) using textual analysis. The findings revealed that all the characters individually were able to reveal their responses, and experiences on the value of the humanity with equity and justice, which challenged the primitive culture in African society. The finding yielded four themes including (a) forced/arranged marriage; (b) gender inequality to acquire education; (d) psychological abuse; and (d) physical abuse. Finally, these findings provided an empirical support for the application of the global feminism from two African feminist writers.

Authors: Vargas-Gutierrez Patricia , Silva-Sanchez Jesus , Uribe-Salas Felipe Javier , Lopez-Jasso Federico , Juarez-Perez Evelyn Yveth , Gonzalez-Martinez Marisela del Rocio , Barrios Camacho Humberto
Published: March 2024

Background: The urgent need for antimicrobial research to address the escalating global challenge of β-lactam antibiotic resistance, particularly in Escherichia coli-induced urinary tract infections (UTI), is underscored by the increasing resistance to ciprofloxacin in Latin America. This issue has led to a heightened dependence on alternative therapeutics, such as cephalosporins. The identification of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli, notably the O25b-ST131 clone, adds complexity to UTI management. The prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli varies globally due to factors including regional antimicrobial usage practices. Objectives: The goal of this study was to identify and molecularly characterize ESBL-producing E. coli isolates to identify the pandemic O25b-ST131 clone related to UTIs in one healthcare institution in Mexico. Methods: Bacterial species identification and antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed using the VITEK 2. The ESBL genes were identified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The E. coli genotyping was carried out by the phylogenetic group analysis and the O25b-ST131 identification. Results: A total of 86 unique E. coli isolates were confirmed as ESBL, and 75% were obtained from UTIs. The most prevalent β-lactamase genes were blaCTX-M (66%), blaTEM (8.1%), blaCTX-M/SHV (5.8%), blaCTX-M/TEM (4.6%), and blaSHV (2.3%). The B2 phylogroup was most prominent (54.4%), with 46.5% identified as a globally pandemic O25b-ST131 clone. No evident relationship was observed using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) between nosocomial and community-acquired infections in ESBL-producing E. coli isolates. Conclusions: The obtained findings highlight the significance of monitoring molecular epidemiology in antibiotic resistance profiles of the O25b-ST131 E. coli clone.
Měkkýši národní přírodní rezervace Jazevčí v CHKO Bílé Karpaty [Molluscs of Jazevčí National Nature Reserve in the White Carpathians PLA]
Authors: Coufal Radovan
Published: March 2024

The Jazevčí National Nature Reserve is located in the southern part of the White Carpathians PLA near the Javorník nad Veličkou village. The reserve protects a heterogeneous landscape with meadows, groves, springs, and creeks. This diversity is reflected in the mollusc assemblages, which contain nine out of ten ecological groups. In total, 58 mollusc species are known from the reserve, 56 being terrestrial gastropods with one aquatic snail and one bivalve. Most diversity consists of forest species, followed by the euryvalent and hygrophilous species. Three species are listed in the Red List of Threatened Species: Daudebardia brevipes (VU), Bythinella austriaca (NT), and Vertigo angustior (VU), the latter also being internationally protected under Annex II of the EU Habitats Directive. Vertigo angustior was found in a deciduous forest, a habitat highly unusual for this species. Trochulus villosulus, a rare species, was found in a wet meadow near the Velička stream. As most species diversity is found in groves and forests, a non-intervention regime is suggested to retain their species diversity, while meadows should be managed extensively by kettle grazing or mowing.

Published: March 2024

The increasingly popular practice of buying second-hand clothing SHCs is a reflection of consumers increased consciousness of the consequences of their fashion purchasing decisions. This research attempts to clarify the present situation regarding the use of second-hand clothing and identify the factors that prevent consumers in Azerbaijan from engaging in this type of purchasing. This study represents a significant academic addition, broadening the body of knowledge on consumer behavior in unexplored areas, especially considering the importance of the second hand clothing field, its unrealized potential, and the lack of research in Azerbaijan. Consumers have some concerns about consumption of SHC items, even if they are crucial in addressing significant issues. The paper specifically examines four considerations sanitary, social, performance, and financial. It employs an online survey as a quantitative research approach, and SPSS 29 is employed to analyze the data. The findings demonstrate that the most significant barrier preventing consumers from purchasing second-hand apparel is sanitary concerns. Additionally, performance and durability concerns are secondary in importance. These findings have theoretical and practical implications that retailers and marketers can use to better understand consumer behavior in this particular field.

The socio-political changes that occurred in Poland after World War II had a significant impact on the functioning of the education system at all levels, the reconstruction of which after the dramatic years of war and occupation was a priority. Schools and the associated possibilities for education provided a crucial tool for the new authorities to promote the new ideology. The consequence of the change from the pre-war educational ideal, which was state, national, and religious, to a secular one, was disturbances in the teaching of religion within school walls. Attempts to eliminate religious lessons from schools had a serious impact on the relationship between the Church and the state. During the so-called People’s Poland era, this issue was treated instrumentally by the ruling party, depending on the needs of the current government. Due to the pervasive indoctrination of communist ideology in Polish schools from 1949 to 1956, the subject of “religion” was almost completely eradicated from the school environment, even though it still appeared in the compulsory subjects catalog. The aim of this publication is to explore the issue of removing religious lessons from Polish schools between 1949 and 1956 based on available source documentation and scientific literature.

Kegiatan penambangan terbuka tidak lepas dari lereng tambang. Lereng tambang tidak lepas dari faktor keamanan. Untuk menentukan faktor keamanan digunakan metode kesetimbangan batas yaitu Morgenstern-Price dengan simulasi Monte-Carlo dengan dua kondisi, yaitu statis dan dinamis. Dari 3 section yang telah di analisis didapatkan 2 section yang tidak aman, yaitu pada section A-A’ dengan nilai FK pada kondisi statis untuk lereng utara sebesar 0,599 dengan PK 83,1% dan dalam kondisi dinamis FK sebesar 0,360 dengan nilai PK 93,1%, lereng selatan dengan nilai FK dalam kondisi statis sebesar 1,29 dengan PK 35,4% dan kondisi dinamis FK 0,662 dengan PK 76,5%. Section E-E’ pada lereng sisi utara didapatkan FK kondisi statis 1,3 dengan nilai PK 12,9% dan dalam kondisi dinamis dengan nilai FK 1,2 dan nilai PK 26,1%. Dari hasil analisis tersebut kemudian dilakukan redesign goemetri lereng agar mendapatkan lereng yang stabil. Hasil redesign geometri setelah dilakukan simulasi, didapatkan geometri lereng overall sisi selatan yang stabil dengan tinggi lereng overall 88 m, sudut overall 40° dengan FK statis 1,8 dengan PK 0,1% dan FK dinamis 1,8 dengan PK 0,0%. dan lereng sisi utara dengan tinggi overall 118 m dengan sudut overall 35° dengan FK statis 1,5 dengan PK 0,4% dan FK dinamis 2,0 dengan PK 0,3%.
Understanding Unprofessional Conduct of Faculty

Although researchers have paid much attention to the widespread cheating by students during their college careers and the possible sources behind such unethical behaviors, there has been less attention given to the unethical behaviors of faculty. Research on the types of unethical behaviors of faculty has pointed out the unique nature of higher education and the particular pressures placed on faculty as potential drivers of such behavior. In this paper, we examine the factors and underlying cognitive processes that may drive faculty to engage in such behaviors. Specifically, we identify potential drivers of faculty unethical behavior, the cognitive processes activated by these drivers, and the types of behaviors that are considered most ethically questionable among faculty as they carry out their professional roles. We conclude with research considerations and implications of faculty misconduct on the profession.
The Oxymoron of the Vienna Circle
Authors: Kuznetsova Natalia I. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2024

It is argued that the legacy of the Vienna Circle played a very important role in the intellectual quest of modern philosophy. No matter how the concept of logical positivism is buried by “continental philosophy”, or ideologically motivated philosophers, or even the latest initiatives of the contemporary philosophy of science, the scientific worldview remains invariant. The traditions of the work of logical positivists remain relevant both for the development of modern philosophy of science and as guidelines indicating the way to get rid of the idle talk (“meaninglessness”) of political slogans and manifestos.
