Gender, Religiosity and Internal Whistle blowing Intentions in the Nigeria Banking Industry
Authors: Awosusi Charles Temitope , Damola Ayemidotun , Ajayi Olorunfemi Samuel
Published: September 2023

This research investigated the correlation between gender, religion, and internal whistle blowing intents within the Nigerian banking sector. The study only used primary data obtained via the distribution of a meticulously designed questionnaire. The research was carried out at the headquarters of several banks situated in Lagos. The researchers used a random sample approach to pick the banks for inclusion in the study. Subsequently, the workers of these banks were purposively chosen due to their essential role in the research investigation. The Yamane formula was used in order to ascertain the appropriate sample size, which was determined to be 397 workers. The examination of multiple stepwise regression (MSR) revealed that the coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.024. Additionally, the F-statistic, with degrees of freedom (2, 394), was found to be 4.805, and the associated p-value was less than 0.01. The study revealed that gender had a favourable effect (β1=0.105), but religion demonstrated a negative contribution (β0=-0.130). Therefore, it can be concluded that the enhancement of internal whistleblowing intents within the Nigerian banking business is favourably impacted by gender, whereas religion has a negative effect. The study thus suggests that in order to enhance internal whistleblowing intentions in the Nigerian banking sector, organizations should adopt gender-specific training and awareness programs, customize whistleblowing policies to address gender-related issues, establish communication channels that are inclusive and respectful of religious beliefs, provide cultural competency training, cultivate an ethical organizational culture, and regularly evaluate mechanisms in collaboration with religious leaders. Moreover, doing additional study, particularly longitudinal studies, has the potential to provide more profound understandings of the intricate dynamics between gender, religion, and whistleblowing behaviours. This, in turn, may inform more nuanced suggestions for organizational practices.

Authors: Vwaali Ralph Likando , Simui Francis , Muleya Gistered
Published: September 2023

This study explored socioeconomic and cultural conflicts emanating from refugee integration in Meheba Refugee Settlement, Zambia. The objectives were to: (i) establish challenges associated with refugee integration in Meheba, (ii) describe socioeconomic and cultural conflicts emanating from refugee integration in Meheba, and (iii) explore gaps in the actions taken by stakeholders to deal with socioeconomic and cultural conflicts emanating from refugee integration in Meheba. Data was qualitatively generated by interviewing 13 participants, selected purposively and through snowballing in a Husserlian Phenomenological approach. Slothful award of legal identity documents, rampant unemployment, intolerable controls and restrictions in conducting businesses, inadequate sustainable farming enablers and poor provision of public services were established socioeconomic challenges hindering smooth refugee integration in Meheba while language barriers and lapses in customary practises were cultural challenges. These challenges mushroom identity conflicts waged among integrating parties due to scarce and imbalanced distribution of resources and opportunities. Thus, among others, law reforms, policy intervention, and community-based conflict management programmes were recommended.

Authors: Sharma Shagun , Gola K. R. , Ujjawal Nishtha , Gupta Manisha , Tiwari Sadhana
Published: September 2023

E-wallets have been widely adopted as a convenient mode of payment. However, there are still many consumers who are hesitant to use e-wallets due to various reasons. Personal Innovativeness (PI) is a key factor in whether consumers use new technologies, such as e-wallets. This study shows the relationship of Personal Innovativeness (PI) that affects e-wallet use, and how Personal Innovativeness (PI) affects consumers’ views of e-wallets and their willingness to adopt and use this technology. A survey was conducted among a sample of 350 respondents in the age range of 18 to 50 years old. The findings of the research demonstrated that personal Innovativeness has a significant impact on e-wallet use. People with higher Personal Innovativeness (PI) are likelier to use e-wallets. The research suggests that companies that make and market e-wallets should consider PI when making and promoting their solutions to make them more popular and used. The results show that e-wallets should focus on users with higher PI and highlight their creative and easy features. This method could involve custom marketing to increase user engagement and the benefits of e-wallets. The data could also be used to develop new ways to market e-wallets and get more customers to use them.

Exercise is a Medicine and a Vaccination for Preventing Childhood Obesity
Authors: Dr Kalidas P Tadlapurkar
Published: September 2023

The most recent report on the obesity epidemic . Institute of Medicine has painted a bleak picture of reality. It reports that two third of adults and almost one third of children are either overweight or obese by any counts of measures. Situations in other countries do not seem optimistic either. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the numbers of obese children have increased during the last decade to an estimated 35 million in developing countries and 8 million in developed countries worldwide. childhood overweight and obesity rates increased by approximately five-fold from 1985 to 2000.3Recent statistics show that 20.3% and 13.4% boys we reclassified as overweight or obese, respectively; while 13.5%and 4.1% of the girls were overweight or obese. There is consensus about the obesity epidemic and its devastating consequence on children across the countries. Similarly there is consensus on how to address it: promoting healthy nutrition and increasing physical activity. There is, however, little philosophical consensus on how these approaches can be most effectively used in dealing with childhood obesity. One philosophical orientation is the treatment position. A typical representation of this position is manifested in the popular metaphor of “Exercise is medicine”. The other is a not-so-popular orientation with rarely-heard metaphor “Exercise is vaccine”. Although the two may be connected in some way (e.g., one can argue vaccine is medicine too), they are fundamentally different in terms of intervention timing and subsequent health and behavior outcomes. There is no doubt that both are needed in addressing the childhood obesity epidemic. But each can lead to personal and social consequences different from those of the other
The Gospel according to Mark
Authors: Edwards James R.
Published: September 2023

This new Pillar volume offers exceptional commentary on Mark that clearly shows the second Gospel ― though it was a product of the earliest Christian community ― to be both relevant and sorely needed in today's church.

Written by a biblical scholar who has devoted thirty years to the study of the second Gospel, this commentary aims primarily to interpret the Gospel of Mark according to its theological intentions and purposes, especially as they relate to the life and ministry of Jesus and the call to faith and discipleship. Unique features of James Edwards's approach include clear descriptions of key terms used by Mark and revealing discussion of the Gospel's literary features, including Mark's use of the "sandwich" technique and of imagistic motifs and irony. Edwards also proposes a new paradigm for interpreting the difficult "Little Apocalypse" of Chapter 13, and he argues for a new understanding of Mark's controversial ending.

Situación actual de la Ley de Extranjería. Aspectos laborales
Authors: Marañón Maroto M.ª Teresa , De Martín Sanz Luis Vidal
Published: September 2023

El artículo pretende trasmitir una idea clara de cómo queda el sistema legal de extranjería tras la reforma y la contrarreforma. En primer lugar se reseña una breve introducción histórica que nos hace comprender que la materia de extranjería ha sido una materia estable con variaciones mínimas, dentro del sistema jurídico español, que encuentra su punto de inflexión en el momento en que España pasa a ser un país receptor de inmigrantes. A partir de ese momento, el armazón jurídico es cambiante dominando más el criterio político que el criterio de seguridad jurídica.
En segundo lugar se analizan las diferencias entre la LO 4/2000, de 11 de enero, y la LO 8/2000, de 22 de diciembre, sabiendo que la segunda modifica ampliamente la primera, dando como resultado una nueva Ley de Extranjería con principios totalmente diferentes. En este análisis se quiere dar una visión general, ya que un análisis pormenorizado corresponde a obras con vocación de manual.
En tercer lugar se profundiza en la regulación de los derechos laborales, la regulación del trabajo de los extranjeros, tramitación de los permisos y la incidencia del Real Decreto-Ley 5/2001, de 2 de marzo, de Medidas Urgentes de Reforma del Mercado de Trabajo para el incremento del empleo y la mejora de su calidad (BOE 3 de marzo de 2001), convalidado por Resolución de 15 de marzo de 2001 del Congreso de los Diputados (BOE 24 de marzo de 2001).
Por último se estudia el sistema de infracciones y sanciones, de amplia trascendencia tanto para la vida del extranjero como para el acceso a la obtención de permisos de trabajo y renovación de los mismos. Nos detenemos especialmente en las infracciones de carácter laboral y en los delitos contra los trabajadores extranjeros.
Una fase frustrada del actual proceso de reforma laboral: el autodenominado Acuerdo Interconfederal de Negociación Colectiva 2002
Authors: Molina Navarrete Cristóbal
Published: September 2023

En este trabajo el autor realiza un estudio detenido del reciente ANC/2002, analizando tanto su naturaleza y eficacia cuanto su contenido. Para comprender más adecuadamente el significado y alcance de este nuevo autotitulado «Acuerdo Interconfederal», se lleva a cabo un breve, pero ilustrativo comentario, comentario del Acuerdo que le ha precedido, el AINC/1997 y de la propuesta de reforma legislativa hecha por el Gobierno, que está en la base del ANC/2002, aunque haya quedado interesadamente silenciado en el documento. De aquel análisis y de este contraste el autor llega a conclusiones fuertemente críticas sobre este Acuerdo, no sólo porque rechaza el encuadramiento de este texto en los Acuerdos Inteprofesionales del Estatuto de los Trabajadores, ni siquiera entre los Acuerdos Marco impropios, sino porque incluso cuestiona la eficacia obligacional del mismo, atribuida por las partes, en cuanto que carece de cláusulas mínimamente precisas en su formulación, por lo que en realidad poco o nada es lo comprometido.
Al mismo tiempo, y frente a los comentaristas que rechazan la conexión de este Acuerdo con la tradición de los Pactos de Rentas Salariales inaugurada a principios de la década de los años 80, el autor defiende la configuración del ANC/2002 como una proyección actualizada de tales Pactos. Para el autor el intercambio socio-político típico de tales Pactos Sociales aparece en este Acuerdo, aunque formalmente no se presenta como instrumento de concertación social en sentido estricto al no ser firmado por el Gobierno. La presencia e influjo de éste es más que evidente, en cuanto que es un Acuerdo defensivo, realizado a cambio de evitar la intervención directa en el sistema convencional del legislador. Al mismo tiempo, si bien evidencia con creíble argumentación que se trata de una Política de Rentas Salariales actualizada, conforme a las nuevas orientaciones, basadas en modelos descentralizados y edificados sobre el argumento principal de la competitividad empresarial, a cuyo fin se compromete una política de moderación del crecimiento salarial a cambio de la inclusión de compromisos de empleo, ciertamente de forma extremadamente genérica e inconclusa, en los convenios colectivos. Sin embargo, en este aspecto, el Acuerdo se limita a recordar simplemente las posibilidades abiertas por la Ley, al tiempo que en algunos casos llega incluso a degradar el tenor normativo, como sucede respecto al principio de igualdad de oportunidades.

Este trabajo ha sido seleccionado y obtenido el Accésit Especial Premio Estudios Financieros 2002 en la Modalidad de RECURSOS HUMANOS.
Los expertos en Recursos Humanos cada vez prestan mayor atención a la justicia organizacional y al contrato psicológico, puesto que ofrecen una perspectiva novedosa sobre la relación entre individuo y organización, y por sus implicaciones sobre el comportamiento de los empleados. La justicia organizacional estudia aquellas condiciones del trabajo o de la organización que hacen que una persona se sienta tratada justa o injustamente, y las consecuencias que estas percepciones tienen para las actitudes y comportamientos de los trabajadores. El contrato psicológico se refiere a las creencias que el empleado tiene sobre sus obligaciones y las de la organización derivadas de la relación de intercambio entre ambos.
ՀՈՒՄՈՐԸ՝ ԲՈՂՈՔԻ ԱՐՏԱՀԱՅՏՄԱՆ ՄԻՋՈՑ ՀԱՅԵՐԵՆ ՀԱՄԱՑԱՆՑԱՅԻՆ ԽՈՍՈՒՅԹՈՒՄ / HUMOR AS A MEANS OF COMPLAINT IN ARMENIAN INTERNET DISCOURSE
Authors: AVETISYAN ANNA
Published: September 2023

The role of information technologies in linguistic studies is unparalleled, as they not only contribute to the development of novel linguistic concepts but also offer fresh perspectives on language usage. In particular, they have fostered the growth of internet discourse and facilitated information accessibility. The prevalence of complaint-based comments has surged, especially on social media platforms. Considering the adverse effects of such complaints on public opinion formation, users have increasingly turned to humor as a primary tool for mitigation.
This article aims to investigate humor as a means of complaint in Armenian Internet discourse and analyze its linguistic features. To achieve this objective, the study includes the examination of various classifications of humor, their application in expressing complaints, and the linguistic devices employed for providing humourous effect. The topicality of this research lies in the significance of humor in Internet discourse as a means of expressing complaints and its potential impact on public opinion.
The study shows that when expressing their complaint users often resort to various forms of humour either to soften the severity of the utterance, sometimes to sound funny, or to make it more offensive.

Published: September 2023

Abstract. Wind-wave forecasts play a crucial role in the Great Lakes region towards ensuring the safety of communities, enhancement of the economy and protection of property. Modeling wind waves in closed and relatively shallow basins with complex bathymetry like the Great Lakes is a challenge that is successfully tackled by using variable-resolution triangular unstructured meshes. In this paper, we discuss recent advances in developing unstructured-mesh capabilities as part of the spectral wave model WAVEWATCH III, in the context of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operational requirements such as model robustness, efficiency, and accuracy. We revisit the history of developments leading to the transition from rectilinear, to curvilinear grids, and finally to an unstructured mesh version of NOAA's operational Great Lakes wave-modeling system (GLWUv2.0). Our results describe the development of the operational GLWUv2.0, from mesh design and scalability analysis to validation and verification for hindcast of storm cases and reforecast using 4 months of retrospective simulations.
Implementation of a Near-Wake Region within the Curled-Wake Model
Authors: Hulsman Paul , Martínez-Tossas Luis A. , Hamilton Nicholas , Kühn Martin
Published: September 2023

Abstract. Modelling the near-wake region becomes more important as turbines are positioned with a relatively smaller spacing due to site restrictions, leading to significant power losses and increased fatigue loading. These effects can be mitigated by actively steering the wake away from the downstream turbine. This paper presents an approach to analytically estimate the wake deficit within the near-wake region by modifying the curled wake model. This is done by incorporating a new initial condition at the rotor using an azimuth-dependent Gaussian profile, an adjusted turbulence model in the near-wake region and the far-wake region and an iterative process to determine the velocity field, while considering the relation of the pressure gradient and accounting the conservation of mass. Comparison with high-fidelity simulations for a single turbine case shows a good correlation of the wake profile for both a non-misaligned and a misaligned case. Validation is performed using field lidar data, where the wake is captured within the near-wake region. The model shows a good correlation with the measurement data. The performance of the modified curled wake model is further analysed within a five-turbine array, where the determined power output shows a significant improvement in comparison to other existing models. The implemented modification indicates a better representation of the near-wake region and will improve the calculation of the optimum misalignment angles for closely spaced turbines. This will aid the process of developing more accurate control-oriented wake steering models.

Optimalisasi Fasilitas Listrik Dermaga dan Peningkatan Keandalan Auxiliary Engine Kapal terhadap Efisiensi Biaya Operasional Kapal di Pelabuhan Tanjung Emas
Authors: Dewi Aditya Mutiara , Prasongko Prasongko , Pambudi Muhammad A. L.
Published: September 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efisiensi biaya operasional kapal yang diperoleh dengan penggunaan fasilitas listrik dermaga yang digunakan sebagai pengganti penggunaan Auxiliary Engine (mesin bantu) yang menggunakan Bahan Bakar Minyak. Metode penelitian yang digunakan metode mixed method (kombinasi kualitatif dan kuantitatif). Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) dengan membandingkan penggunaan bahan bakar minyak dan shore connection. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan shore connection dapat menurunkan biaya operasional kapal sebesar Rp. 6.016.349.488 / tahun dalam efisiensi penggunaan biaya bahan bakar, sedangkan tentang keandalan Auxiliary Engine (AE) didapatkan efisiensi hingga Rp. 1.903.000.000/ tahun. Karena setelah penggunaan shore connection sebagai pengganti penggunaan AE yang menggunakan BBM, maka tidak adanya kerusakan AE, sehingga dapat mengurangi biaya perbaikan kapal. Adanya penggunaan fasilitas listrik melalui shore connection juga dapat mendukung tercapainya program pemerintah yaitu Go Green Port (Environmental Friendly) melalui adanya pengurangan pencemaran udara oleh gas buang cerobong kapal sebagai implementasi dari MARPOL Annex VI dan melaksanakan regulasi permenhub nomor 29 tahun 2014 pasal 37 tentang pencegahan pencemaran lingkungan maritim. Akan tetapi adanya kekurangan dari penggunaan shore connection ini adalah diperlukan biaya investasi pemasangan instalasi cable connection di kapal yang cukup besar dan adanya kenaikan besaran biaya pemakaian listrik yang berbanding lurus dengan kenaikan tarif listrik pemerintah setiap tahunnya.

LOW TEMPERATURE SEALING BEHAVIOR EVALUATION OF ELASTOMERS IN AIRCRAFT HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Authors: Wu Siqi , Xiao Fengliang , Chen Qing , Liu Yongtang , Guo Baochun
Published: September 2023

The low temperature sealing behaviors of five elastomer components used in aircraft hydraulic sealing systems were evaluated through a series of tests subsequent to exposure at 135 °C for a maximum of 28 days in air or hydraulic oil. These assessments encompassed standard material tests such as glass transition temperature (Tg), temperature retraction at 10% shrinkage, mechanical test, and compression set and a customized test to measure sealing force of a certain temperature. In addition, a low temperature gas leakage test was conducted. NBR stiffened upon aging with degradation of properties in an elongation loss, and Tg increased because chain mobility decreased due to increased crosslink density, and restoring force sharply decreased in cooling and in extracting plasticizer. In contrast, in the gas leakage test for both fluorocarbon rubber (FKM) and blends of epichlorohydrin with NBR (ECO), the Tg values showed good accordance, with minimal sealing temperature (Tseal), whether FKM or ECO were aged or not. However, the value of Tseal is significantly higher than that of Tg after NBR aging, indicating a complicated sealing mechanism. Thus, relying solely on standard material tests may not suffice for accurately forecasting the low temperature sealing performance in aircraft hydraulic sealing systems.

Blockchain technology has altered the way transactions are conducted since its introduction. It offers a risk-free and secure way to exchange digital currency that is impervious to manipulation by those with bad intentions. In blocks that store the data, it stores all transactional data. The best example of decentralized, systematic data collection is blockchain technology. By storing the block in many locations across a distributed network arrangement, it offers a public ledger system that combines public key encryption of all transactions to solve the double spending problem, making change impossible and therefore more secure. This article explores the usefulness and benefits of Blockchain technology compared to traditional data management by outlining its fundamental concepts and how it has been adopted in different industries. The writers also discuss the factors that led to the adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as well as the shift to a decentralized crypto ledger. In-depth information on this technology's potential hazards, drawbacks, security features, threats, and vulnerabilities is also included in the article.
Urgensi Etika bagi Komunikasi Politik
Authors: Kodoati Michael Carlos
Published: September 2023

The writing aims to observe the urgency of ethics for political communication. Through literature research on Brian McNair's thought, one crucial question is revealed, is the increasing role of mass communication in the political process "good" or "bad" for democracy? McNair shows that political interaction in the public sphere is dirty and not by democratic ideals. In the end, it was found that political communication is a philosophical problem, in this case, ethics. However, bringing up the term political communication ethics ultimately fell on an oxymoron understanding. Even so, for the sake of democracy, there needs to be an understanding that the ethics of political communication is necessary after considering the dangers of political communication without ethics.

Published: September 2023

This paper aims to explore the true meaning of the Mysterium Paschale, namely Christ's passion, death, and resurrection, based on the liturgical celebration of the Sacred Triduum where the Church solemnly celebrates the greatest mysteries of redemption, namely the special celebrations of the memorial of the Lord, crucified, buried, and risen. This paper is designed as a hermeneutic qualitative research. The theological examination leads the author to some critical findings. First, the Sacred Triduum should be seen as one liturgical celebration that lasts three days. The Sacred Triduum shows an unseparated sequence of liturgical celebrations. Then, the Sacred Triduum regarded as one liturgical celebration reveals in turn a unified theological meaning, namely Mysterium Paschale which consists of the mystery of the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ. By looking at the unity of the celebration of the Sacred Paschal Triduum and of its theological meaning, it is recommended that the faithful may prepare for the celebration thoroughly and be able to participate in the celebration of the Sacred Paschal Triduum as a whole so that they can experience the Easter Mystery as the culmination of the history of our redemption.
SANCTIONS EVASION AND VIRTUAL ASSETS: IMPLICATIONS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY
Authors: VACUSTA Bogdan
Published: September 2023

2022 was the year marking a significant increase in the use of virtual assets for illicit activities such as sanctions evasion. Most of the entities conducting these activities are linked to Russia, North Korea and Iran, which are subject to international sanctions imposed by the international community. The paper presents key elements about the use of virtual assets in illicit activities by sanctioned entities and highlights the necessity to increase defence and intelligence resources for better data analysis on this type of entities. Analyzing data about virtual assets transactions requires strong collaboration between public and private organizations, with a focus on an intelligence-led approach, considering the growing links between cybercrime, money laundering, terrorist financing, special operations conducted by adversaries. In order to support this collaboration, it is essential to prioritize the education of decision-makers on the necessity to focus on technical data.

Published: September 2023

This study aims to provide a more holistic understanding of how environmental and fiscal policies can complement each other to promote a circular economy in East Java. The method used in this study is panel data regression analysis using secondary data covering the period 2001-2020. Data were collected from government agencies such as the Ministry of Finance, the East Java Central Bureau of Statistics, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and the Supreme Audit Agency. The results show that environmental and fiscal policies significantly impact the circular economy in East Java. Environmental regulations, which include central and local government policies, promote the growth of the circular economy. The Regional Original Revenue (PAD) also plays an essential role in influencing the circular economy in the region. The proposed policy recommendations include the design of incentives to encourage the adoption of circular economy principles, the optimal allocation of special environmental and circular economy funds, the adaptation of education and training to the needs of the circular economy, the promotion of research and innovation in the circular economy, and the joint implementation of environmental regulations.
