Dynamic Stability of Beam on Elastic Foundation Including Higher Transition Foundation
Authors: Subbaratnam Bhavanasi
Published: January 2024

A precise analytical solution has been developed using Energy Method to predict the dynamic instability bounds of simply supported beams on elastic foundation, with a focus on the impact of the higher transition foundation on dynamic stability boundaries. To determine the dynamic instability zones, a trigonometric function with a single term that meets the geometric boundary criteria to represent lateral deflection is used. For the analysis, Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is employed. Numerical results are presented in non-dimensional form in both digital and/or analogue forms, with varying foundation parameters below and above the transition foundation values of an elastic foundation. When compared to those produced using the finite element approach, the current findings exhibit a fair degree of consistency. The impact of the elastic foundation’s first and higher transition foundation values on dynamic stability behavior is amply demonstrated in the current study. According to the studies, when the elastic foundation parameter value increases, the width of the dynamically unstable zones decreases, making the beam less susceptible to the dynamic stability phenomena under periodic loads. By using the precise non-dimensional parameters for the imposed periodic load and its radian frequency, the presence of the master dynamic instability curves is demonstrated in the current work.
"Why should I not live the art I love?" : the liberating power of art in Jeanette Winterson's literary work
Authors: Šmardová Daniela
Published: January 2024

This article examines Jeanette Winterson's work to illustrate how art can hold a transformative and therapeutic potential. It presents the argument that by stimulating imagination and conveying a sense of contingency, art functions as a counterforce to several potentially harmful aspects of contemporary society, such as the uncritical belief in science and technological progress, excessive consumption, and blind pursuit of profit, most of which result from prevailing egocentric attitudes. To explore the potential of art to foster opposing values and encourage the transcendence of the ego, the article analyses novels of Jeanette Winterson, all of which portray imaginative worlds challenging conventional patterns of thought and foregrounding alternative ways of perception. The article examines both the role that Winterson ascribes to art by addressing the issue in her texts, and how she herself fulfils the potential of art in the work she produces.
Green skills in education and employment
Authors:   Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, Simmonds Philippa , Lally Clare
Published: January 2024

Green skills can be defined as “the knowledge, abilities, values and attitudes needed to live in, develop and support a society which reduces the impact of human activity on the environment”. Several definitions exist, with some being focused on technical skills for jobs that play a major role in reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 (for example, heat pump installation). Other definitions are broader, and include enabling skills and attitudes, such as public engagement and systems thinking. The lack of a consistent definition can make it challenging to analyse the supply and demand for different skills in the UK workforce. Evidence suggests that developing green skills will be achieved mainly by upskilling the current workforce, but all components of the education system will play a role in increasing skills and raising awareness of green career paths. The vocational education pathway will be particularly important. There is low public awareness of green skills and green career paths, and commentators propose that this could be improved through public engagement and improved careers advice in schools and further education colleges. Sectors such as power generation, construction, waste and resources are likely to see growth and a significant update in skills as part of the net zero transition. These sectors also tend to have an ageing workforce with a substantial proportion approaching retirement. Stakeholders propose that improving diversity in key sectors may help to mitigate green skills shortages. Other challenges include regional variation in demand for and access to green skills development, and shifting policy priorities leading to a lack of investment in training by employers. Training has also seen an overall reduction in investment in training by both the UK Government and employers. Stakeholders have advocated that green skills development could align with levelling up ambitions. There is strong consensus that policy certainty from government would support private sector investment in green technologies, demand for green skills, and provision of green skills training.

Multiple Regression analysis is one of the most critical and widely used statistical techniques in medical and applied research. It is dened as a multivariate technique for determining the correlation between a response variable and some combination of two or more predictor variables. Moreover, it is well-known in medical sciences that the obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol are major risk factors for cardiovascular health issues. The body mass index is a measure of body size, and combines a person's weight with their height, and therefore can affect their obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes mellitus significantly, which are major risk factors for cardiovascular health issues in adults. Motivated by these facts, in this paper, a multiple linear regression model is developed to analyze the obesity in adults, based on a sample data of adult's age, height, weight, waist, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, pulse, cholesterol, and the body mass index measurements. The use of multiple linear regression is illustrated in the prediction study of adult's obesity based on their body mass index. It is observed that in the presence of adult's age, weight, waist, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, pulse, and cholesterol levels, height is a good predictor of the body mass index. Moreover, in the presence of age, height, waist, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, pulse, and cholesterol levels, weight is a good predictor of the body mass index. Some concluding remarks are given in the end.

Published: January 2024

Known by many names, the Chinese banyan (Ficus microcarpa L.) is a monoecious plant species originating from south-eastern Asia which has been introduced as an ornamental in numerous areas outside its native range, including the Mediterranean. Like every species of Ficus, it is associated with a series of chalcid wasp species, known as fig wasps. These species are distributed in the families Agaonidae, Epichrysomallidae, Eurytomidae, Ormyridae and Pteromalidae. In this publication, we describe a new species of Ormyrus Westwood, 1832 (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea, Ormyridae), O. microcarpae Askew & Koutsoukos sp. nov., reared from figs of F. microcarpa collected from Greece and Cyprus. The new species is compared with O. lini and O. watshami. This species is likely to be a parasitoid of Meselatus bicolor Chen, 1999 (Hymenoptera, Epichrysomallidae). In addition, the previously unknown female of O. lini is also described and illustrated. This publication constitutes the first report of species of Ormyrus associated with figs in Europe.
African exchange rates amidst the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Alshammari Turki Rashed
Published: January 2024

The study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on African exchange rates, employing a panel dataset over the period 2016-2022 from 13 African economies and employing pooled OLS estimator. The findings reveal a noteworthy positive correlation between COVID-19 levels and exchange rates within the region. However, this association necessitates deeper exploration due to its multifaceted implications, including economic disruptions, government interventions, global market interconnections, regional stability perceptions, and investor behavior. Economic indicators, such as GDP, inflation rate, real interest rate, and unemployment rate, significantly influence exchange rates. While GDP positively impacts exchange rates through economic growth, investor confidence, and trade strength, controlled inflation fosters investor confidence and export competitiveness, positively affecting exchange rates. Moreover, a pronounced positive impact of the real interest rate indicates economic stability, attracting investment and contributing to currency appreciation. Conversely, high unemployment negatively affects exchange rates, signaling economic weaknesses and eroding investor confidence. These findings emphasize nuanced policy responses for managing health crisis-induced economic disruptions and suggest future research directions focusing on specific country-level analyses and multifaceted factors influencing currency valuations within African economies.
Monetised sustainability impacts of integrated planning in the manufactured construction products industry: A transport perspective from New Zealand
Authors: Dhawan Kamal , Tookey John E. , GhaffarianHoseini Ali , Poshdar Mani
Published: January 2024

The extensive, interdisciplinary nature of construction supply chains make them prone to inefficiencies at organisational interfaces. Inefficiencies are accentuated by the project-centric delivery paradigm, and complex logistics systems between multiple stakeholders. They manifest as a multitude of concurrent activities, processes, and systems both on and off-site. Transportation is the largest component of the logistics domain. Transport operations are inherently fragmented, intrinsic to every business, while vehicle ownership and deployment is typically externalised. Differentiated waste removal and materials delivery further disintegrate the already fragmented construction supply chain. Inefficiencies from the insularity of the planning process across segmental boundaries aggregate incrementally, with impacts visible at the macro level. Re-configuration of activities, resources and actors are acknowledged strategies for optimising logistics and transportation function. This paper investigates the impact of three integration strategies on a manufactured construction products supply chain efficiency. These strategies include vertical integration of distribution, integrated planning for transport operations, and integration of reverse logistics into operations. Sustainability impacts are evaluated according to domestically determined monetary parameters in order to benchmark performance at the business and national scale.

Authors: Novitasari Wiwik , Samosir Benny Sofyan , Habibi Habibi , Harahap Erlina
Published: January 2024

MSME business actors have a significant role in the Indonesian economy. However, there are still various obstacles faced by MSME business actors, including those related to halal certification literacy. Based on data from the Halal Product Guarantee Organizing Agency (BPJPH), only around 2.8% of MSMEs in Indonesia have been halal certified. The low level of halal certification among MSMEs is caused by a lack of understanding and literacy regarding the procedures and benefits of halal certification. Sipirok Market is one of the traditional markets in Indonesia with the majority of traders selling various food and beverage products, but the majority do not have halal certification. Therefore, it is important to carry out halal certification literacy activities aimed at MSMEs in 'Aisyiyah Branch of Sipirok Market. Data collection was carried out through focus group discussions, observations and questionnaires. Based on an initial survey conducted on 25 MSMEs at Sipirok Market, it was discovered that as many as 18 MSMEs (72%) had not received halal certification from BPJPH. They generally still do not understand the procedures and requirements needed to obtain halal certification. Apart from that, they also don't know the benefits that can be obtained by having halal certification for the products they sell. Based on the results of community service activities, it can be concluded that halal certification literacy for MSME business actors in the Sipirok Market Branch is still relatively low.

The purpose of this study was to study factors that are related to informative assessment of the benefits provided to people with special needs. A mixed method research design was employed using both quantitative research and qualitative research with in-depth interviews in the conduct of the study. The sample group comprised 2,283 women with disabilities. The results were presented using descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis. The study found that main variables in accessing information of government welfare and services includes types of disability, and household characteristics. Women whose disabilities were visual and hearing impairments were found to have fewer opportunities to access information compared with others. Women with disabilities who lived with their partners had greater opportunities to access such information. This result correlated with the in-depth interviews as both suggested that the government should offer people with special needs appropriate media based on the type of disability, as well as consider feminism in the contents of the information provided. Creating content and distributing news to women with disabilities is a sensitive matter yet essential with regard to feminism. The study suggests to have a central guideline on the appropriate media for women with disabilities based on different types of disability. There is a need to encourage positive attitudes toward women with disabilities, emphasizing that they are not a burden; rather, they are a powerful driver in the family and society to move forward sustainable work practices, justice, and fulfilling the various demands placed on them.

Masjid merupakan salah satu institusi keagamaan yang memiliki peran penting dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Sebagai lembaga yang menerima donasi dari masyarakat, masjid memiliki tanggung jawab untuk mengelola dana tersebut dengan baik dan transparan. Prosedur pencatatan keuangan masjid pada umumnya dilakukan secara manual dalam buku mutasi kas masjid atau menggunakan pencatatan single method. Salah satu cara untuk memastikan pengelolaan dana masjid yang baik adalah dengan menerapkan prinsip Good Corporate Governance (GCG) pada laporan keuangannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif, yang dilakukan dengan cara observasi langsung, wawancara dengan pengurus masjid, dan analisis dokumen terkait.Masjid Baitul Hikmah Puri Kemajuan yang terletak di JL. Kemajuan, Desa Mendalo Darat, Kecamatan Jaluko, Kubupaten Muaro Jambi. Masjid ini berdiri pada tahun 1998 - Sekarang atas Prakarsa Alm. Prof. Sarkawi selaku Ketua panitia pembangunan yang waktu itu masih diberi nama Mushalla. Dana yang digunakan untuk membangun masjid ini berasal dari Alm. Prof. Sarkawi yang dihibahkan kepada masyarakat. Pencatatan laporan keuangan tahunan Masjid Baitul Hikmah Puri Kemajuan adalah pencatatan laporan keuangan sederhana, atau masih manual, yaitu hanya mencatat kas masuk dan keluar, dan laporan keuangan lebih terfokus pada laporan arus kas berdasarkan hasil wawancara dengan bendahara masjid. Penerapan Good Corporate Governance (GCG) yang baik memberikan dampak yang signifikan terhadap kualitas pelaporan keuangan masjid. Studi kasus di Masjid Baitul Hikmah Puri Kemajuan menunjukkan bahwa meskipun transparansi pengelolaan keuangan masjid sudah dilakukan dengan cukup baik, laporan keuangannya masih sederhana dan belum sesuai dengan standar PSAK No. 45. Oleh karena itu, penerapan GCG di masjid dapat meningkatkan kualitas laporan keuangan mereka.

In the early days, before the creation of money, economic activities or business transactions were carried out through barter or commonly called barter trade. In the exchange process, goods and services were exchanged directly with other goods and services that were mutually needed by the parties involved. At the macro level itself, the parties involved in the production of goods and services can easily and smoothly exchange goods and services by using money as an intermediary. Meanwhile, the domestic sector that receives income in the form of money uses the money to buy goods and services produced by the commercial and manufacturing sectors. It is the changes in these cash flows that cause changes in prices and/or production quantities, for example. It also affects saving behavior, investment and the business cycle. The method in this study is to use a type of qualitative descriptive research. The purpose of this study is to understand and explore the concept of money in Islamic macroeconomics that does not contradict Islamic law.
Indeterminacy in Emotion Perception
Authors: Munch-Jurisic Ditte Marie
Published: January 2024

Most psychological and philosophical theories assume that we know what we feel. This general view is often accompanied by a range of more specific claims, such as the idea that we experience one emotion at a time and that it is possible to distinguish between emotions based on their cognition, judgment, behavior, or physiology. One common approach is to distinguish emotions based on their motivations. From this perspective, some argue that we can distinguish between emotions based on their ultimate goals. Empathic distress, for instance, has the potential to motivate empathic concerns; personal distress, on the other hand, is self-oriented and motivates egoistic concerns. In this paper, I argue against this and similarly teleological views of emotions and affect. Through a close study of the emotional breakdown of an American drone operator, I make the case that emotion perception entails much more ambiguity than dominant theories assume. In our emotional lives, disorientation and confusion are often the norm.
A probabilistic scheme with uniform correlation structure
Authors: Calabrese Raffaella
Published: January 2024

The probabilistic schemes with independence between the trials show different dispersion characteristics depending on the behaviour of the probabilities of the binary event in the trials. This work proposes a probabilistic scheme with uniform correlation structure that leads to different dispersion characteristics depending on the sign of the linear correlation. Finally, a hypothesis test is proposed to identify the type of the dispersion of the probabilistic scheme.
Model of latent profile factor analysis for ordered categorical data
Authors: Tarka Piotr
Published: January 2024

In the literature factor analysis is admittedly a well-known and effective multivariate method in the reduction of extensive and broad data, e.g., in the analysis of too many variables. It is also known for the process of unidimensional or multidimensional scale/s construction. Typically, in many studies (especially those pertaining to market research area) a common factor analysis solution is used (based on continuous data). However, there are rarely ever undertaken studies pertaining to latent variable models where other type of data is used based on discrete variables. One of these models might be called Latent Profile Factor Analysis - LPFA. In this article author’s main objective is to propose and discuss its (LPFA) main assumptions. In order to prove the model’s functionality in practice of market research, a brief example of LPFA model for ordered categorical data (based on one-factorial solution) in reference to hedonic consumption data is given at the end of the paper.
A class of product-type exponential estimators of the population mean in simple random sampling scheme
Authors: Onyeka A. C.
Published: January 2024

The present study proposes a class of product-type exponential estimators for estimating the population mean of the study variable, using known values of some population parameters of an auxiliary character, under the simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) scheme. Furthermore, the study also proposes a modified exponential estimator based on both the ratio-type and the product-type exponential estimators. Properties of the proposed estimators, under the SRSWOR scheme, are obtained up to first order approximation. The modified exponential estimator under optimum conditions is shown to be more efficient than the simple sample mean and the ratio-type and product-type exponential estimators. The theoretical results are supported by an empirical illustration.
The class of estimators of finite population mean using incomplete multi-auxiliary information
Authors: Srivastava Meenakshi , Garg Neha
Published: January 2024

In this paper, a class of estimators is considered for estimating the mean of the finite population utilizing available incomplete multi-auxiliary information. Some special cases of this class of estimators are considered. The approximate expressions for bias and mean square error of the suggested estimators have also been derived and theoretical results are numerically supported.
Households’ saving mobility in Poland
Authors: Liberda Barbara , Pęczkowski Marek
Published: January 2024

In this paper we examine the mobility of Polish households with regard to saving rates during the years 2007-2010 and compare it with the households’ saving mobility during the years 1997-2000. The analysis for 2007-2010 is based on the household budget panel data from three panels of 15,000 Polish households selected by authors for the years 2007-2008, 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 from the Household Budget Surveys. We use the Markov mobility matrix and estimate the long-term ergodic distribution of households according to the saving rates. Our results show that the long-term households’ distribution reveals a tendency towards polarization of households with regard to saving rates. Comparing the results for 2007-2010 with the authors’ previous research on the households’ saving mobility for a decade earlier during 1997-2000, we prove that between the years 1997-2000 and 2007-2010 the long-term change in the distribution of households was asymmetrical toward the highest saving rate groups. This helps to explain why Polish households could maintain positive and rising savings during the highly uncertain period of the financial crisis in 2007-2010.
Coherence and comparability as criteria of quality assessment in business statistics
Authors: Młodak Andrzej
Published: January 2024

The problems of coherence and comparability exceed the classical notion of analysis of survey errors, because they do not concern single surveys or variables but the question of how results of two or more surveys can be used together and how relevant data can effectively be compared to obtain a better picture of social and economic phenomena over various aspects, e.g. space or time. This paper discusses characteristics of the main concepts of coherence and comparability as well as a description of differences and similarities between these two notions. Types of coherence and various aspects of perception of these notions in business statistics are analysed. Main sources of lack of coherence and comparability, factors affecting them (e.g. methodology, time, region, etc.) and methods of their measurement in context of information obtained from businesses will be also presented.
Multi-state Markov Model: an application to liver cirrhosis
Authors: Grover Gurprit , Sreenivas V. , Khanna Sudeep , Seth Divya
Published: January 2024

The control and treatment of chronic diseases is a major public health challenge, particularly for patients suffering from liver disease. In this paper, we propose a frame to estimate survival and death probabilities of the patients suffering from liver cirrhosis and HCC in the presence of competing risks. Database of the admitted patients in a hospital in Delhi has been used for the study. A stochastic illness-death model has been developed describing two liver illness states (Cirrhosis and HCC) and two death states (death due to liver disease and death due to competing risk). Individuals in the study were observed for one year of life at any age xi. The survival and death probabilities of the individuals suffering from liver cirrhosis and HCC have been estimated using the method of maximum likelihood. The probability of staying in the cirrhotic state is estimated to be threefold higher than that of developing HCC (0.64/0.21) in one year of life. The probability of cirrhotic patient moving to HCC state is twice (0.21/0.11) the probability of dying due to liver disease. HCC being the severe stage, the probability of patient dying due to HCC is three times that of cirrhosis. Markov model proves to be a useful tool for analysis of chronic degenerative disease like liver cirrhosis. It can provide in-depth insight for both the researchers and policy makers to resolve complex problems related to liver cirrhosis with irreversible transitions.
The properties of ATMs development stages – an empirical analysis
Authors: Gurgul Henryk , Suder Marcin
Published: January 2024

This paper addresses the crucial problem of the ATM’s network management which is so-called the saturation level of withdrawals. This notion refers to mean level of withdrawals after dropping particular withdrawals realized in the initial time period, (i.e. time period after activation of ATM) and the length of elapsing time period necessary to reach saturation level. One can observe that the level of withdrawals and their number stabilize as time elapses. The paper aims to define average withdrawals after achieving saturation level and mean time necessary to stabilize withdrawals (based on historical data). In addition, we established that – under condition of similarity in terms of location and date of start - ATMs exhibit similar characteristics of the development effects. This allows us for predicting the size of time necessary to achieve saturation and the average withdrawal in the state of saturation.
Empirical evaluation of OCLUS and GenRandomClust algorithms of generating cluster structures
Authors: Korzeniewski Jerzy
Published: January 2024

The OCLUS algorithm and genRandomClust algorithm are newest proposals of generating multivariate cluster structures. Both methods have the capacity of controlling cluster overlap, but both do it quite differently. It seems that OCLUS method has much easier, intuitive interpretation. In order to verify this opinion a comparative assessment of both algorithms was carried out. For both methods multiple cluster structures were generated and each of them was grouped into the proper number of clusters using k-means. The groupings were assessed by means of divisions similarity index (modified Rand index) referring to the classification resulting from the generation. The comparison criterion is the behaviour of the overlap parameters of structures. The monotonicity of the overlap parameters with respect to the similarity index is assessed as well as the variability of the similarity index for the fixed value of overlap parameters. Moreover, particular attention is given to checking the existence of an overlap parameter limit for the classical grouping procedures as well as uniform nature of overlap control with respect to all clusters.
Warum DEAL die Wissenschaft in eine gefährliche Abhängigkeit führt
Authors: Fischer Georg
Published: January 2024

Nach jahrelangem Ringen steht der DEAL mit Elsevier – doch tut sich die Wissenschaft mit dem Abkommen keinen Gefallen. Der Großverlag betreibt zügelloses Datentracking unter Forschenden und kassiert teils obszön hohe Open-Access-Gebühren. DEAL weist in die falsche Richtung, kommentieren Georg Fischer und Maximilian Heimstädt.

Published: January 2024

In order to improve both the internal and external functionality of the organization, organizational changes are increasingly sought. Changes are of great importance and without a doubt they are of crucial importance for strengthening and improving organizational efficiency. Organizational changes were always complemented by planned strategies and aligned with the organizational goal. The process of change is very challenging and important for organizations because it represents its path to success. Also, through organizational changes, organizations can be made capable of meeting future consumer demands and competing effectively with other market participants. However, many authors state that the changes are conditioned by a large number of factors. The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of leadership and innovation on the development of organizational changes in organizations in Serbia.
