La planificación estratégica es importante para el sistema empresarial por la relación que guarda con la determinación de los objetivos. En la actualidad la definición de objetivos certeros continúa siendo esencial para toda organización, lo que requiere de un adecuado diagnóstico, utilizándose herramientas que ayuden en este propósito. Una de estas herramientas es la Matriz DAFO, pero en ocasiones no resulta ser suficiente, por lo que se hace necesario el empleo de otras técnicas que ayuden en el diagnóstico y comprobación de hallazgos para enfrentar un proceso de planificación estratégica.  El objetivo del presente trabajo es determinar del Nivel de Integración del Sistema de Dirección (NISD) en una empresa de construcción de obras del turismo, para una mayor solidez en el diagnóstico estratégico realizado. Para ello se emplean los métodos teóricos de análisis y síntesis, e inductivo deductivo, los métodos empíricos de observación directa, análisis documental y encuestas, entrevistas, así como técnicas y herramientas como la matriz DAFO, técnicas de trabajo grupal y las matrices de relaciones internas y externas. Como resultados se obtuvo que la organización tiene un nivel de integración interno de 57 % y con las entidades externas un 74 %, dentro de estos el más afectado con un 69 % es con las entidades reguladoras. A partir de este análisis se determinan los puntos de coincidencia entre ambas técnicas y se detectaron un conjunto de deficiencias no encontradas con la aplicación de la DAFO.

Authors: Pesantez Aguirre Priscilla Abigail , Moyón García Cynthia Lilibeth , Bonisoli Lorenzo
Published: May 2024

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la interacción de la intención de compra con la actitud de marca y la actitud orgánica en el consumidor tomando en cuenta el factor del valor verde. La metodología se basó en un análisis cuantitativo de datos mediante la aplicación de una encuesta. Para recopilar los datos, se elaboró un cuestionario de 26 ítems relacionados con las variables de estudio, medidos con una escala Likert de siete puntos. La muestra final contó con 226 personas a través de una técnica de muestreo no probabilística por conveniencia. Para el procesamiento de datos, se utilizó la técnica estadística de SEM-PLS. Los resultados mostraron que el valor emocional y funcional influyen significativamente en la actitud de marca y actitud orgánica, en cambio, el valor condicional y social no influyen en ninguna de las dos. De las dos actitudes, se destaca que, solamente la actitud de marca influye en la intención de compra. Esto permite comprender que la actitud hacia la marca tiene un impacto importante en las decisiones de compra que hace un consumidor, y está por encima de la actitud orgánica. Con esto, se concluye que el cliente fundamenta la compra del producto orgánico en tres aspectos: el valor funcional del producto, el valor emocional y la actitud que desarrolla hacia la marca.

Revisiting Zeribar lake sediments: Effects ofclimate change on human development in Zagros
Authors: Naderi Beni Abdolmajid
Published: May 2024

Zeribar Lake, located in the west-central Zagros mountains, serves as a key record for understanding the environmental and climate history of West Asia. Studies beginning in the 1960s have examined the lake's sediments to explore how changes in the environment might have influenced major human developments, including the start of the Neolithic period and the formation of early societies. Early research, limited by less precise radiocarbon dating methods, suggested that environmental factors had little impact on the development of cultures. However, with improved dating techniques, a clear link has been established between environmental events and significant stages in human evolution. Analysis of pollen from Zeribar Lake has provided a detailed picture of the region's ecological past. The data shows a significant change from the sparse, cold conditions of the late Pleistocene and early Holocene to the rich oak forests that appeared in the mid-Holocene. This change, previously thought to be caused by more rain, is now understood to be the result of a considerable decrease in temperature, with glaciers once widespread in the area. Updated radiocarbon dating and new interpretations of pollen data suggest that agriculture began earlier than previously thought, around 14,000 years ago, indicating that shifts in the pollen record may reflect the beginnings of farming rather than changes in the climate. These climate changes, initially thought to be minor until 8,000 years ago and believed to involve only slight temperature variations, are now viewed from a different perspective. Despite these revelations, the debate continues among scholars regarding the extent of climate's role in shaping human progress. This article aims to weave together the multifaceted strands of Zeribar Lake's story, bridging paleoecology and archaeology to shed light on the complex dance between humanity and its environment in the Zagros region. It is an endeavor to bolster the bedrock of knowledge for future scholarly pursuits.
Cryogenic Pits and Quaternary Glacial Evidence in Central Iran
Authors: Ramesht Mohammad Hosein , Nematollahi Fateme
Published: May 2024

Quaternary glaciation studies in Central Iran reveal that it is not implausible to anticipate glaciation traces in this region. It is feasible to provide conclusive evidence about the behavior of ice sheets by referring to geomorphological factors and climatic statistical analyses. Factors such as flatness and accidental geographical features contribute to the existence of ice sheets in the Namdan Fars region. The digital reconstruction of past climatic conditions، using the Wright method، along with the absence of lake terraces around Kaftar Lake، signifies the presence of ice instead of water in the lake. The multi-axial morphology of the Namdan Plain، the shape and form of main valleys and passes، and the existence of numerous glacial cirque traces in the surrounding heights are also indicators of this phenomenon. The lack of evidence of ancient settlements in the plain، despite the availability of water and fertile soil، can be attributed to the region's historical thermal conditions. Investigating ancient glaciers helps us understand the natural history of the land. This knowledge can aid planners in devising macro strategies for regional development and water resource management، as glacial performance has always been associated with optimal water levels. Although glacial activities can create aquifers، the movement of ice sheets or ice surfaces does not support the accumulation of sediments required for creating aquifers with sufficient water storage. Instead، their performance leads to the creation of suitable agricultural soil layers. In summary، regional glaciers play a positive role in transforming and creating favorable agricultural soils and can be beneficial in adapting to climatic changes and extending statistical periods.
Megafauna Fossils in Iran's Quaternary Period: An Overview
Authors: Mirzaei Ataabadi Majid
Published: May 2024

The Quaternary is marked by numerous climatic fluctuations, including glacial and interglacial periods. Interglacial periods were characterized by warmer and wetter conditions, and are associated with a unique group of large vertebrate animals, or mammals. Fossil remains of these large mammalian vertebrates, such as elephants, rhinoceroses, horses, deer, and boars, are commonly found in Quaternary sediments. One reason for the abundance of Quaternary vertebrate fossils compared to those from other geological epochs is the relatively young age of Quaternary deposits. Additionally, the size of these creatures' skeletal remains and their higher preservation potential in high-energy environments contribute to their prevalence in the fossil record. In recent years, the study of Quaternary paleontology in Iran has gained significant momentum, with numerous research projects focusing on the animal remains of ancient caves throughout the country. This review aims to summarize and introduce the most significant discoveries in this vital field by examining the regions with substantial Quaternary mammalian vertebrates in Iran. Notable areas include Lorestan, Moghan Plain, Ravansar inKermanshah, Natanz, Isfahan, Qaleh Joq, Torbat Heydarieh, Zaviya Saveh, Shahreza, Isfahan, Qazvin, and Haft Tepeh of Khuzestan. The primary fossils of these regions' large animals, such as elephants, geckos, and horses, have been discussed.
Rock Sources for Gravestones at the Islamic Cemetery of Rawansar: A Geological Perspective
Authors: Mohammadi Amir Hossain
Published: May 2024

Stone has played a crucial role in human history, serving both geological and stratigraphical purposes. Throughout the ages, it has been an essential material, providing raw resources for various applications. From prehistoric lithic tools to architectural elements, stone has significantly impacted our development. In cemeteries, stone has taken on a major role due to its physical resistance and durability. Different communities have considered and traded stones for tombs and graves, recognizing their value in memorialization. In recent years, the importance of stone materials has grown, particularly for grave inscriptions. Today, numerous varieties of stone are used in cemeteries, and the practice of stone trading and selection has expanded for tombstone purposes. An illustration of this transfer and import of stone can be observed in the Islamic cemetery of Ravansar. This cemetery, which is the focus of this article, is primarily composed of geological rocks and indigenous materials, such as limestone from the Bisetoun Formation. However, stones used in the Islamic cemetery of Ravansar, dating back nearly a century, are made of green sandstones specifically sourced from surrounding areas. In a study examining the geological potential for trade routes supplying stone to the Islamic cemetery of Ravansar, researchers have reviewed the available evidence, including social and ethnographic factors. This analysis has been approved and serves as a testament to the historical and cultural significance of stone in our society.
Rock Art at the Karaftou Cave and its Surrounding Areas, North of Kurdistan
Authors: Ghasimi Taher , Ghasimi Akam , Ghasimi Soran
Published: May 2024

One of the most important obstacles in the study of rock arts in Iran is the lack of an established chronological framework. Some researchers consider these motifs to be related to late Pleistocene and early Holocene periods (Izad Panah, 1348). However, recent field studies show more recent dates for rock arts. One of these studies concerns the Karafto Cave in Kurdistan province which can serve as a chronological basis for the study of rock arts in the entire Kurdistan province. The Karafto Cave is a complex of natural caverns whose entrance and some of its natural passageways have been manipulated during the Historical (Parthian) period (Bernard 1980; Gall 1978, 2010). The existence of a Greek inscription on the frontispiece of one of the rooms of the cave demonstrates that the cave was used as a temple for the Greek god Hercules (Gall 1978). Considering the similarity between the motifs of hunting or fighting horsemen in the Karafto Cave with the motifs engraved on golden and silver vessels of Parthian and Sassanid periods along with other evidence such as the Greek inscription, the rock-cut architectural features, the pottery evidence, and other data obtained from the excavations, one can conclude that some of the motif complexes (especially those created in the man-made spaces of the cave) were probably made in the Seleucid-Parthian or Sassanid periods.
A review to the Desert Kite: State of the Art!
Authors: Nazari Hamid
Published: May 2024

Although from the beginning of the historical period, known as the emergence of the writing, it has not passed more than several thousand years, but the history of human evolution can be rooted in an era much older than the one seen: in the age of the hunting-gathering culture! Hunter-gatherer culture was the way of life for early humans until around 11,000 to 12,000 years ago. The lifestyle of huntergatherers was based on hunting animals and foraging for food. Desert kites could be mentioned as a probable transition key from the age of hunting-gathering food to pastoralism, which can be dated today with the development of cosmogenesis and luminescence methods. ‘Desert kites’ are stone constructions made of two long low walls called antennae that converge into an enclosure flanked or not by several small cells. Their shape and archeological evidence suggest that these extensive stone structures may have functioned as game traps, designed to capture and kill large numbers of wild animals. The kite is a landmark that reveals a way of occupying territory. It is an architectural feature of social groups, which hence left a reflection of their territory and catchment. However, these people have sometimes left very few traces enabling their identification. Considering the extent and density of these settlements, the kite is a massive phenomenon whose role was probably crucial in the development of societies in arid regions. It has been seen from the eastern Mediterranean to the eastern Caspian, which suggested finding less of the same structure in the Iranian plateau, as the only suitable linkage, when the northern lands were nearly frozen! Thus, the perspective is reversed from traditional archaeological research, where groups are most often identified by their domestic settlements, with their still undefined modes of subsistence. Kites, as a phenomenon, are therefore a challenge for the archaeology that requires creative and novel approaches.

Weak Mean Random Attractor of Reversible Selkov Lattice Systems Driven By Locally Lipschitz Lévy Noises
Authors: Li Guofu , Yang Xiulan , Zhou Liguang , Wang Yan
Published: May 2024

This paper is concerned with weak pullback mean random attractor of reversible Selkov lattice systems defined on the entire integer set \(\mathbb{Z}\) driven by locally Lipschitz Lévy noises. Firstly, we formulate the stochastic lattice equations to an abstract system defined in the non-concrete space \(\ell^2\times\ell^2\) of square-summable sequences. Secondly, we establish the global well-posedness of the systems with locally Lipschitz diffusion terms. Under certain conditions, we show that the long-time dynamics can be captured by a weakly compact and weakly attracting mean random attractor in the Bochner space \(L^2(\Omega,\ell^2\times\ell^2)\). To overcome the difficulty caused by the drift and diffusion terms, we adopt a stopping time technique to prove the convergence of solutions in probability. The mean random dynamical systems theory proposed by Wang (J. Differ. Equ., 31:2177-2204, 2019) is used to deal with the difficulty caused by the nonlinear noise.

ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF UNEMPLOYMENT VARIABLES ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN CENTRAL KALIMANTAN USING THE ERROR CORRECTION MODEL (ECM) APPROACH
Authors: Harati Rima
Published: May 2024

The objective of this study is to examine the impact of unemployment variables on Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) by employing the Error Correction Model methodology. This research is conducted in Central Kalimantan from 2012 to 2023. According to the cointegration testing findings using the ECM approach, the probability of the unemployment variable is 0.3788, which is greater than the significance level of 0.05. There is a lack of cointegration or long-term balance relationship between the variables, which means that testing cannot be conducted over an extended period of time. The ECM test findings indicate that there is no significant short-term impact of the unemployment variable on GRDP in Central Kalimantan. This is supported by the probability value of the unemployment variable, which is 0.2660, above the threshold of 0.05. According to the classical assumption test, there are no signs of autocorrelation in the research model. Additionally, the Jarque Berra probability value of 0.764092 is greater than 0.05, indicating that there are no signs of heteroscedasticity. Therefore, the research model can be considered normally distributed.

Biodiesel, a renewable fuel for diesel vehicle engines, has been commonly produced from transesterification process involving triglycerides from vegetable oil with alcohol. One of the most promising candidates for vegetable oil due to its abundance in Indonesia is coconut oil. However, the short carbon chain present in coconut oil necessitates the use of longer-chain alcohol types to adjust to the biodiesel carbon chain, such as isopropanol. Therefore, this research focused on producing biodiesel (isopropyl ester) from coconut oil using isopropanol and NaOH catalyst through a transesterification process. To enhance this process, microwave technology was utilized for its ability to lower the biodiesel production reaction time from the conventional one-hour timeframe to less than ten minutes, increase energy efficiency, and improve biodiesel quality. The primary objective was to investigate the impact of reaction time, catalyst concentration, and microwave power on the isopropyl ester yield. Further optimization was conducted using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Box-Behnken Design (BBD) to illustrate the model's effectiveness and applicability. Based on BBD optimization simulation, the optimal condition for producing isopropyl ester from coconut oil using microwave technology is a 1-minute reaction time, 0.2 wt.% NaOH catalyst concentration, and 443.9 W microwave power, maximizing the yield to 99.89%. This research highlights the potential of microwave assisted transesterification and the reliability of this innovative approach, contributing to the development of isopropyl ester production with enhanced quality that meets the specifications of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI).

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complicated psychiatric disease that causes difficulty in communicating with others, and restricted behavior, speech, as well as nonverbal interaction. Children with autism have unique facial characteristics that distinguish them from ordinarily developing children. Therefore, there is a requirement for a precise and automated system capable of early detection of autism in children, yielding accurate results. The objective of this research is to assist both families and psychiatrists in diagnosing autism through a straightforward approach. Specifically, the study employs a deep learning method that utilizes experimentally validated facial features. The technique involves a convolutional neural network along with transfer learning for the detection of autism. MobileNetv2, Xception, ResNet-50, VGG16 and DenseNet-121 were the pretrained models used for detection of autism.  The evaluation of these models utilized a dataset sourced from Kaggle, comprising 2,940 facial images. We evaluated the five deep learning models using standard measures like recall, precision, accuracy, F1 score, and ROC curve. The proposed DenseNet-121 model outperformed existing transfer learning models, with 96% accuracy rate. With respect to performance evaluation, the proposed method exhibited superiority over the most recent models. Our model possesses the capability to support healthcare professionals in validating the precision of their initial screening for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) in pediatric patients.

Addressing turnover has consistently remained a pivotal concern across industries. Mitigating turnover can empower organizations to retain their crucial personnel, consequently fostering heightened productivity and potentially bolstered profitability. This study delves into the correlation between employees' perception of organizational politics and the lure of alternative job offers featuring better compensation as drivers of turnover among Bank Alfalah (Karachi) personnel. Employing a cross-sectional approach with deductive reasoning, this study collected responses through survey questionnaires from Bank Alfalah employees. The outcomes unveiled a noteworthy positive association between turnover and both perceived organizational politics and the appeal of higher-paying alternative job opportunities. Additionally, the study unearthed that office politics plays a more robust role in translating turnover intentions into decisions. These findings bear significant implications not only for the banking sector but also for theoretical advancements in research centered around organizational politics and the allure of enhanced compensation through alternative employment avenues.

This study investigates the interplay of satiation, alternative attractiveness, and place attachment on restaurant switching intentions in Pakistan, with a focus on the moderating role of place attachment. Additionally, it examines how switching intentions impact word-of-mouth and patronage behaviour. Data from 239 restaurant customers were collected via online surveys and analysed using SPSS 27.0 and Smart PLS 4.0 through Covariance-based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM). Findings indicate that customer satiation significantly heightens switching intentions, while alternative attractiveness has a non-significant effect. Place attachment moderates these relationships, attenuating the positive impact of satiation on switching intentions and mitigating the negative impact of alternative attractiveness. Moreover, switching intentions positively influence word-of-mouth but do not significantly affect patronage behaviour. Implications for the Pakistani restaurant industry include enhancing customer satiation, exploring alternative attractiveness, fostering place attachment, leveraging word-of-mouth for promotion, and understanding the disconnect between switching intentions and patronage behaviour. Limitations pertain to the study's generalizability across cultures, suggesting future research directions focusing on diverse samples, cross-cultural settings, mixed-methods approaches, specific intervention strategies, and the influence of external variables such as economic conditions or public health emergencies on customer behaviour. This study contributes novel insights into the moderating role of place attachment and the complex dynamics among switching intentions, word-of-mouth, and patronage behaviour within the context of Pakistani restaurants.
