Authors: Yumkhaibam Ahsan Huda , Farooque Sm , Bhowmik Sanjib Kumar
Published: September 2023

Background: Autogenic training (AT) is a relaxation technique that has garnered attention for its potential to reduce anxiety and improve psychological well-being. Objectives: This study aims to synthesize the findings from a diverse range of studies investigating the relationship between autogenic training and anxiety disorder across different populations and settings. Methods: A comprehensive review of 162 studies, including randomised controlled trials (RCTs), non-randomized controlled trials (N-RCTs), surveys, and meta-analysis, was conducted out of these 29 studies were selected which is directly related to the objectives of the studies. Participants in the studies had conditions such as cancer patients, bulimia nervosa, stroke survivors, coronary angioplasty, nursing students, healthy volunteers, athletes, and so on. Anxiety levels were measured before and after the AT intervention using a variety of anxiety assessment scales, including the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The formats, duration, and delivery of the interventions varied, with some studies utilising guided sessions by professionals and other self-administered practises. Results: The combined findings of these studies revealed consistent trends in the beneficial effects of autogenic training on anxiety reduction. AT was found to be effective in reducing anxiety symptoms across a wide range of populations and settings. Following AT interventions, participants reported reduced anxiety, improved mood states, and improved coping mechanisms. AT was found to be superior to no treatment or a comparable intervention in a number of cases. Conclusion: The body of evidence supports autogenic training as a non-pharmacological approach to reducing anxiety and improving psychological well-being. Despite differences in methodology and participant profiles, the studies show that AT has a positive impact on a wide range of populations. The findings merit further investigation and highlight AT's potential contribution to anxiety management strategies.

Scientific Production on Venezuelan Migration: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Cuéllar-Sánchez Diana Mireya , Núñez-Valdés Karen , Dueñas-Peña Alex
Published: September 2023

The International Organization for Migration adheres to the notion that migration involves the displacement of individuals from one place to another, whether temporarily or permanently, whether voluntarily or forcibly, across international borders or within a country, and that these movements generate significant impacts on both the societies of origin and destination, as well as on the migrants themselves. This study focuses on a documentary review aimed at addressing the following questions: How is migration research approached in different countries? What is the volume of scientific production on this subject? Within the aforementioned context, the present work encompasses various types of documents published between 2012 and 2022, authored in English, and disseminated through the SCOPUS database.

To undertake the analysis, a combination of tools such as VOSviewer, Biblioshiny, and Excel was employed. These tools facilitated the identification of clusters, co-occurrence frequencies, and nodes within the network. From the bibliometric analysis of Venezuelan migration, key years of high citation impact stand out, despite a relatively lower output of articles, thereby underscoring the principle of quality over quantity. The leadership of the United States, Colombia, and Venezuela in publications underscores their interest and relevance in this domain. Global scientific cooperation and the Bradford Law reveal patterns of thematic concentration within journals, influenced by prestige and preferences.
Migrants and Resources as Challenging Factors in Fighting Covid-19 in Jordan: Social Exchange Perspective
Authors: Al-Sarayrah Ali Jameel , Al Hourani Mohammed Abdel Karim
Published: September 2023

In contrast to neighboring countries, Jordan initially succeeded in mitigating the COVID-19 outbreak. However, this privileged situation was short-lived as Jordan eventually became one of the worst-affected countries globally. This paper examines the dynamics of Jordan's response to COVID-19 through the lens of Blau's theory of exchange and power in social life. It explores the exchange process amongst the government, migrants and the Jordanians, highlighting how the government exerted maximum control over people's movements and gatherings. Despite these efforts, the government failed to meet people's expectations of safety and basic needs, leading to a loss of trust and the spread of misinformation. The inability to maintain control over gatherings and movements resulted in a surge in cases. This analysis underscores the importance of transparency, trust, awareness, and collective efforts in effectively combating pandemics.

This study aims to identify the condition of corn plants based on imagery leaf using the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) method and artificial neural network (ANN) backpropagation. The GLCM method is used for extracting features from image leaf corn, whereas ANN backpropagation is used for classification condition plant corn based on features. The classification was done using a dataset of corn leaves with four conditions: healthy, leaf spot, blight, and leaf rust. Next, the leaf features are extracted using method GLCM and training on model ANN backpropagation to classify conditions of corn plants. After training on the model, the next step is model evaluation using the confusion matrix method. The research results show that the technique can produce accuracy, which is tall enough to identify condition corn plants, with an accuracy of 95%. This indicates that the use of GLCM and ANN backpropagation can be a good alternative in determining the condition of corn plants. This research provides benefits in facilitating the identification of the state of corn plants quickly and accurately.

The Dominican Republic faces great challenges in pre-university education and one of them is the evaluation culture. Evaluation as a systemic process is an added value to educational quality to a large extent, to its human capital, and to achieve success in a changing world. Recent studies have shown that achieving better educational outcomes and measurements provides considerable benefits for individuals and for society as a whole (OECD 2010a, 2010c). This ensures the achievement of effective measures of student performance and development and, therefore, educational performance. Reliable and valid measures of school performance can serve as a basis for educational policies and programs and their accountability, school improvement processes, and so that families and society as a whole have more information about the effectiveness of educational systems.

Authors: YÜCEL Ahmet Galip , MEYDAN Ali
Published: September 2023

Undergraduate education endeavors to impart fundamental proficiencies; nevertheless, it falls short of adequately fulfilling the requisites for adept personnel. Conversely, graduate education strives to cultivate the aptitude for generating scholarly knowledge and executing research. The governmental authorities aspire to escalate the enrollment of educators pursuing advanced degrees and deploy varied incentives to this end. Nevertheless, numerous obstacles manifest in the course of advanced education. Given the pivotal role of graduate education in augmenting teacher competencies and potentially influencing the overall educational caliber, it is imperative to recognize and redress these challenges. This investigation aims to comprehensively scrutinize the predicaments and origins thereof encountered within the realm of graduate education. Accordingly, the research employs a case study design, a qualitative research methodology. A cohort of twelve educators engaged in advanced studies within the domain of social studies partook in the study. Data were gathered via semi-structured interviews and subjected to content analysis. As a result of the data analysis, five main themes emerged, including factors influencing success, sources of problems, problems, suggestions, and purposes of pursuing graduate education. It was revealed that participants engaged in graduate education primarily to pursue an academic career and personal development, and their success throughout the process was primarily influenced by supervisors, faculty members, and financial and personal challenges. The problems faced by participants mainly originated from the curriculum, supervisors, and faculty members. The suggested remedies forwarded by the participants constituted a distinct theme.

La féminisation de l’édition littéraire illustrée pendant l’entre-deux-guerres
Authors: Barjou Camille , Galland Jean-Michel
Published: September 2023

L’édition littéraire illustrée est une activité culturelle majeure de l’entre-deux-guerres français. Cet article examine, avec une double approche historique et socio-esthétique, les modalités et les limites de la féminisation de ce segment de l’édition. L’émergence de femmes, illustratrices ou éditrices, dans des fonctions de création au sein de cette activité s’avère limitée comme, à cette époque encore, en peinture ou en sculpture. Ce constat est mieux compris, si ce n’est expliqué, en recourant à une analyse bourdieusienne du champ de l’édition littéraire illustrée mettant en évidence une concentration des créatrices dans une région relativement restreinte de la structure de ce champ, la seule au sein de laquelle les différentes formes d’opposition masculine ont permis qu’elles s’expriment et qu’en l’occurrence elles y jouent un rôle-clef. Les parcours des principales illustratrices, comme Mariette Lydis ou Marie Laurencin, et éditrices, comme Jeanne Bucher ou Elvire Choureau, sont brièvement décrits à l’occasion de cette analyse. L’existence d’un livre illustré féminin à cette période fait également l’objet, dans le même cadre heuristique, d’une évaluation critique. Une ouverture, enfin, vers une appréhension genrée de l’édition littéraire de l’entre-deux-guerres dans son ensemble est proposée.

Les lettres constituent l’une des principales sources pour reconstituer la République des Lettres du XVIIIe siècle. Les réseaux de sociabilité et la diffusion scientifique reposaient en grande partie sur la correspondance. Ainsi les lettres échangées entre le botaniste espagnol Cavanilles et les Anglais Joseph Banks, président de la Royal Society, et James Edward Smith, président de la Linnean Society, en témoignent, qui révèlent-elles les flux positionnements intellectuels dans l’Europe du moment. Mobilisant le modèle Acteur-Réseaux de Bruno Latour, nous analysons ces lettres inédites pour aborder les relations entre l’Espagne et l’Angleterre d’un point de vue scientifique et géopolitique. Les expéditions scientifiques et les collections botaniques qui en résultaient allaient devenir un outil précieux pour se positionner sur la scène européenne. Les plantes et les graines découvertes allaient permettre d’élargir la connaissance mais aussi d’accroître le pouvoir économique et politique.
Come valutare il ruolo delle donne nelle tipografie lionesi nel XVI secolo
Authors: Dalai Maria Grazia
Published: September 2023

Dans cet essai, on a cherché d’approfondir la connaissance de Denise Barbou, veuve de Balthazar Arnoullet qui, dans la ville de Lyon au XVIe siècle, fut la protagoniste, bien que pour une période limitée de deux ans, de la direction de la typographie familière. Cette contribution analyse les caractéristiques de sa production éditoriale qui est comparée à celle de son mari, les auteurs publiés, le format des livres, l’appareil iconographique présent dans les textes, les marques typographiques. Enfin, les Annales typographiques ont été compilées et comparées à celles redigées par les savants Henri Baudrier et Sybille von Gültlingen. Un tableau se dégage, quoique limité et nécessitant des investigations plus larges, qui atteste non seulement de l’engagement direct de Denise Barbou mais aussi de sa capacité entrepreneuriale non marginale.

If not managed properly, stress can interfere with the ability of elderly people to maintain their well-being.

Mental health is an important part of health care that needs to be talked about not only in mental health settings but also in society.

Typically, people prepare for retirement only in the financial sphere and not in other social aspects. Many older people feel unappreciated and lonely. Such situations are usually stressful for older people. As for stress in general, if an elderly person is unable to cope with it, it can lead to the physical decline of the elderly person. Older people are stressed by changes in their lifestyle. A lot of routine with excellent physical conditions is a dream for elderly people. Some elderly people without financial stability still must perform routine activities without good physical conditions [11,12].

The study was based on scientific articles and other scientific literature found in the medical databases UpToDate and PubMed. The search was carried out using the following keywords and combinations: stress, mental health, elderly person. The aim was to review the scientific literature on the stress experienced by elderly people and its consequences for mental health.

Conclusions. A review of the scientific literature suggests that with the rapid increase in the number of elderly people in the world, it is important to maintain a good physical and emotional state of health. Poorly managed stress can have a negative impact not only on a person's daily activities, but also on physical health and emotional well-being.

Constant stress reduces quality of life and communication with the outside world. Anxiety leads to excessive feelings of fear or frustration, which ultimately have a negative impact on a person's health. Participation in leisure activities has been shown to significantly improve social support and mental health for elderly people.

Authors: Budak Jelena , Rajh Edo , Škrinjarić Bruno
Published: September 2023

This study examines which segments of population with similar resilience to online privacy violation, severity of online privacy violation, and attitudes towards online privacy concern exist in Croatia, and whether they can be differentiated by demographic characteristics and attitudes towards other online constructs. Research is performed on a representative sample of Croatian Internet users who experienced online privacy violation. The survey data were analyzed using factor analysis, k-means cluster analysis, chi-square test and ANOVA. The findings indicate three groups of consumers with: (1) low-resilience, (2) moderate-resilience, and (3) high-resilience; who differ in age, income, and online buying habits.
Government Support During COVID-19 and Corruption
Authors: Beqiri Luma Zana , Ademi Rilind
Published: September 2023

We analyze the allocation and effectiveness of government support in response to the COVID-19 outbreak across a nationally representative sample of firms in 32 countries representing different levels of institutional transparency. The probability of receiving government support is higher for larger firms, firms belonging to business support groups and innovative firms in low corruption countries. In high corruption, countries firms competing against unregistered establishments, with lack of internationally recognized quality certification and no formalized business strategy are more likely to receive government support. Using the panel structure of the data to address reverse causality, selection bias and unobserved heterogeneity, we then find that government support improves firm-level outcomes more strongly in low corruption countries. Among different types of government support, we find wage subsidies to be more effective in high corruption countries while technical assistance for adoption of digital technologies in low corruption countries. In addition, social distancing and lockdown policies do not seem to be as effective in improving firm-level outcomes in high-corruption countries most likely because of weaker capacities to enforce such policies. These results show the importance of enhancing systems of accountability and enforcement procedures that will ensure that fiscal stimulus aid is deployed to benefit those who need it the most.
The Infancy of the Esports Industry as a Risk to its Sponsors
Authors: Freitas Bruno Duarte Abreu
Published: September 2023

In less than 10 years, esports have turned into a global phenomenon with a large following that rivals the audience size of popular established sports. This has resulted in a massive influx of esports sponsors. However, because it appeared and evolved so rapidly, sponsors have no idea of what esports really are nor of what risks they may face. Ergo, this research aimed to determine what issues are being caused by the infancy of the esports industry that is threatening sponsors. Hence, this exploratory research used a convergent-parallel mixed method with equal status. Empirical data was obtained through interviews with 22 experts in esports sponsoring and the application of a survey to 5,638 esports fans. Quantitative data was analysed with SPSS 25 and qualitative data with NVIVO 10. The results showed that the majority of experts considered that the problems associated with the infancy of the esports industry are a risk to esports sponsors and almost all esports fans reckon that the competitive gaming market has infancy-related issues to solve. Esports are not like general sports, so sponsors must holistically study this industry to mitigate the dangers of suffering from the problems of this new and unknown market.
Audit Quality Review: An Analysis Projecting the Past, Present, and Future
Authors: Kalita Niva , Tiwari Reshma K.
Published: September 2023

Literature on audit quality remains plenteous, with researchers contemplating the area for 'forever and a day’. The present study proposes synthesising the existing literature on audit quality, discerning the prominent themes and providing future research avenues. This paper attempts to analyse and synthesise the dynamics of audit quality research by employing the diminuendos of systematic literature review with bibliometric and content analysis. Scopus database has been gleaned to systematically retrieve the literature on audit quality from 1981-2022. Analysing the 1101 relevant articles under review makes the USA the highest contributor. It is, however, enthralling to note that developing countries have also registered increased interest in the topic. Apart from the other documented findings, the study concluded that research has witnessed impeccable growth over the years under various lenses, which have been precisely synthesised into six clusters. While various reviews have been conducted using innumerable qualitative methods, this study attempts to employ quantitative methods to synthesise the extant literature, which is a rarity.

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between disordered eating patterns, psychological distress, and social self-esteem among university students in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The study included University Students as participants and it utilized a correlational cross-sectional research design. The data collection involved administering a series of questionnaires, which included the Social Self Esteem Scale (SSES), Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), and DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale). The study adhered to ethical considerations in a rigorous manner. The results indicated a statistically significant and positive correlation between psychological distresses and disordered eating behaviors. Furthermore, a notable inverse relationship was identified between psychological distress and social self-esteem, as well as between psychological distress and disordered eating behaviors. The findings of this study carry significant implications for the design and implementation of targeted interventions aimed at promoting the mental and physical well-being of college students. Additionally, these results may contribute to the development of educational initiatives that seek to prevent the emergence and advancement of eating disorders within this susceptible group. Limitations of the study include the utilization of a cross-sectional design and the limited representativeness of the sample. These factors should be taken into account in future research endeavors.
