Authors: Al-habash Majdi Azzam , Buraik Ola , Yousef Maria , Alali Abdulla Mousa Falah , Al_Shukri Kadri S. , Fraihat Baha Aldeen Mohammad
Published: December 2023

This study examines how Jordan's economic development is impacted by sustainable entrepreneurship (SE), with an emphasis on the mediating function of environmental performances (EP). To be more precise, we look at how Jordanian entrepreneurs' entrepreneurial leadership, culture, and mentality support SE and ultimately impact economic development through EP. We use data gathered from a sample of 250 Jordanian entrepreneurs to evaluate our assumptions using a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling technique. According to our research, SE significantly and favourably influences EP, which in turn mediates the relationship between SE and economic development. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that Jordanian entrepreneurs' entrepreneurial leadership, culture, and mentality all have a favourable impact on SE. Policymakers, business owners, and other stakeholders interested in advancing sustainable economic development in Jordan should take note of these results. Our research emphasises how critical it is to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem that supports entrepreneurs' sustainable leadership, culture, and way of thinking. Furthermore, our results imply that Jordan's economic development may benefit from initiatives to enhance EP, offering policymakers a possible way to encourage sustainable entrepreneurship. Overall, by analysing EP's mediating role in the relationship between SE and economic development, this study adds to the body of knowledge on sustainable entrepreneurship and offers insightful information to practitioners and policymakers who wish to support sustainable economic development in Jordan.

Within the context of Jordanian international business management, the current study explores the subtle relationships between global strategic alliances (ISA), corporate competitiveness (CC), and technological innovation (TI). Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) is used to assess the interaction between these variables as well as the mediation and moderation effects. Utilizing a sample size of 350 individuals who occupy professional, management, and decision-making roles in Jordanian businesses engaged in international commerce, the research article shows notable and significant positive associations. The results of the path analysis show a strong relationship between global strategic alliances (ISA) and both corporate competitiveness (CC) and technological innovation (TI). This shows that ISA is essential in fostering innovation inside organizations and developing competitive strategies. Additionally, this study looks at the connection between corporate competitiveness (CC) and technical innovation (TI), finding a very strong one. This emphasizes how important technological advancement is in enhancing a company's ability to compete. The model's mediating and moderating effects are the focus of the study's most important findings. The results provide solid support for the mediating role, indicating that the correlations between ISA, TI, and CC are interrelated and have an impact on one another. Furthermore, the findings of this study demonstrate a noteworthy moderation effect, suggesting the existence of external factors that exert an influence on the associations between these variables. This research provides valuable perspectives on the intricacies of global strategic partnerships, technical advancements, and corporate competitiveness within the realm of international business administration in Jordan. Through the elucidation of the complex interconnections and fundamental mechanisms, this research endeavour enhances our understanding of the influence of these factors on the competitive strategies and innovation endeavours of organisations.

Authors: Handayani Dwi , Abbas Hafid , Nurjanah Siti
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to examine the effect of civil servant career adaptability on employee engagement mediated by public service motivation. This study adopts the theory of job demand resources and takes the perspective of organizational behavior theory to explain personal resource variables. The proposed hypothesis was tested by conducting a partial least square - a structural equation model on data collected from 599 millennial civil servants in Indonesia. This study found that career adaptability, directly and indirectly, affects employee engagement with public service motivation as a mediating variable. This study offers academics significant insight in providing empirical evidence of organizational behavior theory for a direct relationship between career adaptability and public service motivation. The implication of this research for human resource management in government organizations is awareness of designing programs to increase the career adaptability of millennial civil servants, so that it will have significant impact on public services because of their motivation and engagement to stay in the public sector.

Authors: Qatiti Khalid Al , Talib Asmat Nizam B Abdul , Shamsudin Faridahwati Bt Mohd
Published: December 2023

Higher education institutions (HEIs) face crucial challenges due to education internationalization, complex ranking systems, and financial support . However, stakeholders (i.e., industry, alumni, and government) expect pragmatic results from those HEIs like research, innovation, entrepreneurship, employability, and social responsibility. To address this issue, this study investigates outcome-based factors and offers a framework for HEIs to overcome those challenges. To accomplish this goal, we relied on stakeholder and academic capitalism theories and used data triangulation approach (i.e., interviews, observation, and archival literature), Delphi method, and content validation index. We analyzed the data in NVivo software. The data revealed four aggregated dimensions: knowledge economy development, social economy development, entrepreneurship development, and education internationalization. The findings indicate a strong need for comparing HEIs to identify a holistic view of their direct contribution to HEIs in general and Oman in particular. The study’s findings may assist HE systems in other contexts in identifying strategies to meet some of the needs of their relevant stakeholders. The paper makes theoretical, practical, and policy contributions.

Multiple Linear Regression is one of the fundamental statistical models used to determine the causality between target and predictor geotechnical parameters.  The study used multilinear regression approaches and artificial neural networks to get optimal results from FC predictions. The study considers the correlation between the SBT Index and FC and several other parameters such as NSPT, Depth, Totally Overburden Stress, Initially Overburden Stress, and Sleeve Friction. The coefficient of determination resulting from the regression process shows a reasonably strong relationship between the independent and target parameters, as much as 61.4%. In comparison, the Neural Network is 96.928%, which indi-cates a nonlinear influence.
Impact of CSR on Organizational Resilience across Chinese Listed Firms: Combination of Process-oriented and Outcome-oriented Perspectives
Authors: Duan Ru , Ramakrishnan Suresh , Hishan Sanil S
Published: December 2023

The firms are confronted with increasingly uncertain environment. Their ability to endure, recover and bounce back from a major disturbance is essential for firms’ survival and development. Therefore, how to cultivate organizational resilience has become an important issue. The paper operationalizes organizational resilience into two parts. One is the process of forming organizational resilience in pre-adversity period, another is the manifestation of organizational resilience in post-adversity period. Using the panel data from 2010 to 2019 and cross-sectional data in 2020 of listed firms in Chinese stock market, the paper employs fixed effect and OLS estimations to study the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on organizational resilience by combining process-oriented and outcome-oriented perspectives. The results show that in context of China, CSR performance has mixed effects on organizational resilience. Specifically, CSR practice impacts organizational resilience through reducing financial volatility, instead of through improving economic strength in the process of formation. Furthermore, CSR practice shows no significant impact on the manifestation of organizational resilience when an adversity happens. The findings support the insurance-like effect of CSR practice. The study is the first attempt to interpret organizational resilience as a compound capability which is developed at tranquil period and manifested at adversity period. It is also one of the few empirical studies concerning the influence of CSR on organizational resilience with the background of a recently happened crisis. It contributes to the body of literatures on determinants of organizational resilience and suggests that CSR practice is a practical way to build up organizational resilience and maintain business sustainability.

Authors: Nada Sarkis, , Jeanne Mawad, , Elie Sayegh, , Dina Fattouh
Published: December 2023

COVID-19 imposed a new working behavior. As governments imposed national confinements to contain the virus, companies shifted towards WFH – Working from Home further relying on digital applications to facilitate the exchange of work-related information and digital knowledge sharing (DKS) among co-workers. Although many scholars outlined the influence of DKS on the Creative Performance (CP) of knowledgeable teleworkers according to previous research, WFH was considered as optional work behavior, while it has become a reality during COVID-19. Thus, this paper aims to elucidate the various, still unexplored aspects of working from home, reassessing the correlation between DKS and CP next to studying the possible influence of contextual factors (organizational climate, individual factors, and demographics) on both DKS and teleworkers’ CP. In this context, a cross-sectional survey was distributed online to 263 Lebanese teleworkers. The study settles that digital technology is a pivotal factor in affecting employees’ digital knowledge sharing and therefore overall business performance as well and highlights the need to develop new theoretical approaches specific for the working from home (WFH) context.

The study recommends using collaborative writing widely in EFL classrooms and suggests investigating its effects on speaking and listening.
Goethe’s Lyrical Discourse in the 5th Poem of ‘Römische Elegien’
Authors: Mehmeti Dr.Flutura
Published: December 2023

The discourse is generally meaningful, with essential potential in the field of communication as an indisputable feature of the society. Meanwhile, the lyrical discourse, as a segment of mass discourse, marks a specialized communication in poetic literary works, namely in the conversational plane between the giver and the recipient. The most specified element of this literary genre is the lyrical ‘Ich-Form’, which, among other text-building signs, is the most analyzed and discussed one of the 5th poem of Goethe’s lyrical-elegiac work, ‘Römische Elegien’.

The study lyrical discourse in the 5th poem of Römische Elegien” presents the composition of the lyrical song in general, built and structured by the multitude of textual components and typical elements of the lyrical song. The organization of all signs in the text is laid out and arranged with precision and deep philosophy, building thus an unprecedented lexical, syntactic, semantic and stylistic unity. As a master of words, thoughts and poetic expressions in the discussed poem, Goethe has realized a source with different directions of linguistic and aesthetic flows, through which the recipient receives a lot of information marked with arrhythmic pulses. This study will be an initiative for analyzing some stylistic issues in the lyrical discourse and its elements in this well-known German poem, as issues that have not been explored yet.
Association between dyslipidemia and early-onset preeclampsia in pregnant women at a national referral facility in Kenya
Authors: Kariuki Rahab , Maina Francis , Thaimuta Zakayo , Gwako George
Published: December 2023

Background: Preeclampsia is a syndrome marked by hypertension that appears after 20 weeks of pregnancy and is linked to maternal and fetal complications. Physiological hyperlipidemia develops as the pregnancy proceeds, and lipids are taken up by the placenta to be used by the fetus. However, in preeclampsia, due to placental insufficiency, there is a decrease in lipid uptake, disrupting lipid metabolism.

Objective: To assess association between dyslipidemia and preeclampsia in pregnant women presenting at a national referral facility in Kenya.

Methods: This was a case-control study where 75 women presenting with preeclampsia and aged between 14 and 45 years with a gestational age of between 20 and 34 weeks were recruited as cases, and 75 age-matched pregnant women as controls. Medical data were obtained from their files, and a 5mL blood specimen was drawn for lipid profile analysis. Data were analyzed using STATA version 13 (Stata Corp Inc., USA). Chi-square was calculated to establish statistical significance. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant.

Results: A majority, 78.8% of the cases, had high non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) compared with 58.7% of controls (p-value =0.02). Low HDL-C was reported in 4% of cases against 2.7% of controls (p-value =0.6.) High low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was reported in 42.7% of cases compared to 45.3% of controls (p-value =0.7). Preeclampsia patients had high odds of dyslipidemia odds ratio (OR) 2.3, (95% CI 1.1-4.7, p-value = 0.04).

Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is more prevalent among women with preeclampsia than normotensives of the same gestational age. Non-HDL-C strongly correlates with atherogenic lipoproteins, and it could be elevated even when LDL-C is within normal reference range, thus making it a valuable marker of dyslipidemia in preeclampsia. There is an association between dyslipidemia and preeclampsia.
The characterization of quorum sensing trajectories of Vibrio fischeri using longitudinal data analytics
Authors: Abdel-Azim Maryam , Abdel-Azim Ahmad
Published: December 2023

Quorum sensing (QS) is the process in which bacteria recognize and respond to the surrounding cell density, and it can be inhibited by certain antimicrobial substances. In Vibrio fischeri, bioluminescence intensifies as more cells utilize QS, making it an accurate biomarker for QS. In this study, we showed that observed illumination intensity data measured at multiple time points is insufficient for evaluating and comparing QS activity across different cultures without proper statistical modeling. We introduced a statistical approach to characterize illumination trajectories over time using longitudinal data analytics. The approach was tested on the naturally illuminating bacteria, V. fischeri, which emit light when QS is activated, but it can also be implemented with green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its numerous applications. To compare multiple QS trajectories, we suppressed QS activity at varying levels using honey, known for its antimicrobial and anti-QS properties. We characterized and compared illumination trajectories through time in bacterial cultures containing five Manuka honey concentrations. The longitudinal approach analyzed illumination data throughout the entire QS cycle and correctly ranked bacterial cultures according to their true level of QS activity. Conversely, the conventional cross-sectional approach was inconsistent in evaluating bacteria for their QS activity and trajectory. We conclude that modeling illumination intensity through time provides a more accurate evaluation of QS activity than conventional cross-sectional analysis.

The fragmented regulation of the traineeship in Hungary
Authors: Solymosi-Szekeres Bernadett
Published: December 2023

The situation of young workers is determined by the legal regulation of work. Of particular interest in this context is the traineeship, which is statistically proven to be the basis for many young people entering the labour market. In this context, it is especially important that national regulations are clear and stable to ensure the security of young workers. The Hungarian national regulations will be examined in this study, starting with statistical data, i.e. the extent to which traineeships are present, and examining the related legal relationships based on the EU conceptual background, with the aim of exploring whether the Hungarian legal framework guarantees status security for young trainees. Based on the legislation, case law and relevant literature, it can be concluded that the Hungarian national legislation on traineeship is fragmented, non-transparent, complex, and generally does not provide an impeccable basis for improving the labour market situation of young people from a labour law or social security perspective, and shows a number of inconsistencies in national and EU labour law.

Authors: Vukmirovic Valentina , Spasenić Željko , Milosavljević Miloš
Published: December 2023

Online labour platforms (OLPs) are profit-oriented companies utilising technology to connect independent contractor workers with short-term service labour needs, offering a digital marketplace for posting tasks, receiving bids, and finalising agreements across various domains such as writing, design, programming, and digital marketing. This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of the concurrent body of knowledge on OLPs, explaining how the specificities of this emerging form of labour are researched from various academic standpoints. The study is based on a dataset of 358 papers on OLPs published from 2013 to August 2023. The main finding of the study is that scholarly interest in OLPs is steadily growing in the observed period. However, geographical dispersion of the scientific output is not in line with the actual level of utilisation of OLPs, and scholarly interest in OLPs spans across diverse disciplines, including industrial relations and labour, management, economics, sociology, law, and computer science. The results of this paper can help better understand the dynamics of scholarly publishing on OLPs and further leverage underexploited subtopics in this field.
Radno angažovanje studenata – nužnost radnopravne zaštite
Authors: Kovač Orlandić Milica
Published: December 2023

Rad tokom studiranja višestruko je značajan, kako za studente tako i za ukupnu dinamiku tržišta rada. Nezavisno od toga da li se posmatra kao vid neformalnog obrazovanja, kao način sticanja praktičnih znanja i vještina ili kao važan izvor prihoda, rad tokom studiranja pozitivno utiče na brži i bezbolniji prelazak iz svijeta obrazovanja u svijet rada. Premda se studenti mogu zapošljavati na osnovu ugovora o radu, oni se mahom angažuju u nekim drugim formama rada koje ne podrazumijevaju zasnivanje radnog odnosa. U pitanju su, međutim, forme koje nijesu adekvatno i dovoljno regulisane, niti su prilagođene mladima kao posebno ranjivoj kategoriji radnika koja se na tržištu rada suočava sa brojnim izazovima vezanim za diskriminaciju, rad na crno i nedovoljnu plaćenost. Cilj je, otuda, ovog rada da ukaže na forme radnog angažovanja studenata, na potrebu njihovog posebnog zakonskog regulisanja i na nužnost određenih aspekata radnopravne zaštite mladih u svim tim slučajevima. Uvođenje određenih radnopravnih elemenata u sve forme radnog angažovanja studenata od suštinskog je značaja za njihovu zaštitu od ekspoloatacije i nedostojanstvenih uslova rada. Ovo posebno kada su u pitanju minimalni radni standardi koji se tiču zaštite na radu, nadoknade za rad, prava na dnevni i nedjeljni odmor, odsustva tokom praznika i prekovremenog rada. Pitanje zaštite i pravovremenog uključivanja mladih na tržište rada značajno je i u kontekstu aktuelnih demografskih kretanja, te traganja za adekvatnim nivoom međugeneracijske solidarnosti. U radu se kao ilustrativan primjer koriste zakonodavstvo i praksa u Crnoj Gori.

Authors: Dolcemáscolo Agostina , Dughera Lucila , Yansen Guillermina
Published: December 2023

Este trabajo se propone caracterizar y analizar las representaciones de docentes respecto de las normas de uso de las tecnologías digitales (netbooks, teléfonos celulares) en escuelas secundarias argentinas de gestión estatal beneficiadas por el Programa Conectar Igualdad (PCI), implementado entre 2010 y 2017 bajo el modelo 1 a 1.  Metodológicamente, el artículo se apoya en la revisión de fuentes primarias producidas en una investigación realizada en 2015, específicamente 16 entrevistas en profundidad a docentes de escuelas secundarias argentinas beneficiarias del PCI distribuidas a lo largo del territorio nacional. Así, se busca responder a las siguientes preguntas: ¿Qué sentidos otorgan los docentes a las normas vinculadas a las tecnologías digitales (TD) en la escuela? ¿Cuáles les parecen problemáticos? ¿Cómo lo expresan? Reconstruir el sentido y los argumentos que los docentes ofrecen resulta fundamental para el establecimiento, aún difuso y heterogéneo, de marcos regulatorios precisos para el uso de las TD en las instituciones escolares.
El uso de herramientas virtuales en la enseñanza de la historia en la universidad
Authors: Fucili Eliana , Masi Alejandra , Terranova David
Published: December 2023

Desde hace algunos años, la educación ha sido atravesada por la incorporación de plataformas virtuales que complementan las clases presenciales y contribuyen a configurar el modelo de «aprendizaje combinado» o blended learning. Dicho modelo pretende modificar la educación tradicional, que coloca al docente como único agente transmisor del conocimiento, e implementar un nuevo paradigma en el cual este debe ser mediador entre el conocimiento y el estudiante. Este artículo tiene como objetivo dar cuenta de una experiencia pedagógica basada en la aplicación de herramientas virtuales, cuyo escenario fue la cátedra de Historia de la Instituciones Argentinas y Latinoamericanas. El espacio curricular es parte del Ciclo Básico de la carrera de Abogacía de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. El principal objetivo de la propuesta didáctica fue repensar un cambio en las estrategias de enseñanza-aprendizaje y abrir nuevos espacios de interpelación en el modo de transmisión de los saberes.

Published: December 2023

En el marco del proyecto de investigación denominado Estudio de las prácticas de enseñanza de inglés en la Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias Agropecuarias de la Universidad Nacional de San Luis y su relación con las demandas del medio laboral, diseñamos una propuesta didáctica para la enseñanza de inglés comunicativo destinada a los estudiantes de las carreras de ingeniería de dicha universidad. La presente propuesta se llevará a cabo con la modalidad semipresencial, aplicando el modelo de enseñanza denominado aula invertida (Bergmann y Sams, 2012), que comprende de forma diferente los procesos de enseñanza y de aprendizaje, y consiste básicamente en invertir el orden tradicional de los eventos que ocurren dentro y fuera de la clase. El objetivo del presente trabajo es socializar el desarrollo del mencionado proyecto, sus principales resultados y la propuesta académica que resultó fruto de los hallazgos.

Habilidades y actitudes para la comprensión de la ciencia y la tecnología en estudiantes de Física de la educación secundaria
Authors: Salica Marcelo Augusto , Abad Alida Marina
Published: December 2023

Los problemas del siglo XXI vinculados a la ciencia y la tecnología demandan al estudiantado promover un conjunto de habilidades y actitudes. Esto exige acercar las principales corrientes de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la ciencia y la tecnología como son los enfoques: Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas (STEM), y Ciencia, Tecnología, Sociedad (CTS).  En esta investigación mixta, basada en un estudio de caso, se evalúan los efectos de dicha articulación en las actitudes y el desarrollo de las habilidades para la resolución de problemas de ciencia y tecnología. Se elaboró una secuencia de enseñanza-aprendizaje aplicada en estudiantes de 4to año de la educación secundaria, caracterizada en el diseño de prototipos con piezas de encastre y la medición de parámetros en tiempo real con una interfaz inalámbrica. Los datos se obtuvieron con entrevistas y un cuestionario con repetición de medidas. Los resultados muestran mejoras significativas en las actitudes y el desarrollo de las habilidades para la gestión del aprendizaje.
Construcción de saberes didácticos mediados por tecnologías digitales: posibilidades y límites de prácticas de enseñanza situadas en profesorados universitarios
Authors: Sansot Sonia
Published: December 2023

Se presentan experiencias de enseñanza mediadas por tecnologías digitales en la formación docente universitaria, cátedra de Didáctica General, profesorados de nivel inicial y primario, Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación, Universidad Nacional del Comahue. Se trata de propuestas como web quest, murales digitales, wikis, foros, blogs y páginas web orientadas a promover la construcción de saberes didácticos y desarrollar competencias digitales docentes que apelen a prácticas seguras de creación y colaboración; que intenten desbordar barreras de la cultura académica y producir saberes en este nivel educativo escasamente explorado. La convergencia digital permite construir narrativas desde la fragmentación, hiperactualización e interacción múltiple mediante un lenguaje con características propias: hipertextualidad, interactividad y multimedialidad potenciadas con la conectividad y la movilidad. Estas renovadas significaciones entre tecnología digital y didáctica interpelan a la formación docente requiriendo involucrar a las/los estudiantes de profesorado en su propio proceso de aprendizaje y desde sus propios consumos culturales.
Saberes digitales y educación superior. Retos curriculares para la inclusión de las TIC en procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje
Authors: Lara Rivera José Alejandro , Grijalva Verdugo Abel Antonio
Published: December 2023

La presente investigación analiza el papel de la tecnología y algunos artefactos comunicativos en el contexto escolar universitario. Es lo que, recientemente, se ha denominado saberes digitales y que se relaciona con las capacidades de los sujetos para administrar, gestionar, utilizar dispositivos y narrativas digitales en asuntos académicos y profesionales. Así, se presentan los hallazgos de una investigación empírica realizada en una universidad mexicana. La muestra es probabilística aleatoria simple, compuesta por 346 estudiantes divididos por área de conocimiento, ya que se trabajó con el hipotético de que la carrera universitaria incide en dichos saberes. Para el análisis se realizó un factorial exploratorio de KMO y prueba de esfericidad de Bartlett. Los hallazgos dan cuenta de la incidencia parcial de la variable área de conocimiento en algunas de las dimensiones analizadas.
Cambios en la modalidad de enseñanza en el marco de un modelo institucional. El caso de Metodología de la Economía
Authors: Perona Eugenia , Cuttica Mariela
Published: December 2023

En el presente artículo se examina la transformación en la modalidad de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la materia Metodología de la Economía, de presencial a semipresencial, en el ámbito de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Se utiliza como marco teórico un modelo institucionalista, que permite comprender la interrelación existente entre las normas que regulan la enseñanza-aprendizaje y las prácticas de docentes y estudiantes. Un análisis cuantitativo muestra que la modalidad semipresencial arroja resultados superiores. En términos cualitativos, esto se explica por distintos factores, como un énfasis en la adquisición de habilidades, un acompañamiento personalizado y continuo, y un estímulo al desarrollo de habilidades de redacción científica. Adicionalmente, se plantea cómo el cambio de modalidad incide en la estructura de derechos, tareas, obligaciones y privilegios de los actores involucrados en el proceso.
