Radiative impacts of the Australian bushfires 2019–2020 – Part 2: Large-scale and in-vortex radiative heating
Authors: Sellitto Pasquale , Belhadji Redha , Cuesta Juan , Podglajen Aurélien , Legras Bernard
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Record-breaking wildfires ravaged south-eastern Australia during the fire season 2019–2020. The intensity of the fires reached its paroxysmal phase at the turn of the year 2019–2020, when large pyro-cumulonimbi developed. Pyro-convective activity injected biomass burning aerosols and gases in the upper-troposphere–lower-stratosphere (UTLS), producing a long-lasting perturbation to the atmospheric composition and the stratospheric aerosol layer. The large absorptivity of the biomass burning plume produced self-lofting of the plume and thus modified its vertical dynamics and horizontal dispersion. Another effect of the in-plume absorption was the generation of compact smoke-charged anticyclonic vortices which ascended up to 35 km altitude due to diabatic heating. We use observational and modelling description of this event to isolate the main vortex from the dominant Southern Hemispheric biomass burning aerosol plume. Entering this information into an offline radiative transfer model, and with hypotheses on the absorptivity and the angular scattering properties of the aerosol layer, we estimate the radiative heating rates (HRs) in the plume and the vortex. We found that the hemispheric-scale plume produced a HR of 0.08±0.05 K d−1 (from 0.01 to 0.15 K d−1, depending on the assumption on the aerosol optical properties), as a monthly average value for February 2020, which is strongly dependent on the assumptions on the aerosol optical properties and therefore on the plume ageing. We also found in-vortex HRs as large as 15–20 K d−1 in the denser sections of the main vortex (8.4±6.1 K d−1 on average in the vortex). Our results suggest that radiatively heated ascending isolated vortices are likely dominated by small-sized strongly absorbing black carbon particles. The hemispheric-scale and in-vortex HR estimates are consistent with the observed ensemble self-lofting (a few kilometres in 4 months) and the main isolated vortex rise (∼ 20 km in 2 months). Our results also show evidence of the importance of longwave emission in the net HR of biomass burning plumes.
Questions of (non)Disclosure among People Living with Alzheimer’s Disease in Denmark
Authors: Lind Glavind Ida Marie
Published: December 2023

This article explores questions of (non)disclosure among people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, arguing that whether to reveal one’s diagnosis to family and friends is not a straightforward choice. I use the term (non)disclosure to emphasize the fluidity of that choice, as participants often toggle between revelation and concealment. Common to various strategies is an aim to avoid the strong associations with dementia as social death. By following the aftermaths of disclosure, the article shows that people with Alzheimer’s disease living in Denmark do not experience social death. Rather, they experience marginalization and estrangement but also continuing care. The article reveals that while social death is commonly ascribed to Alzheimer’s, this ascription does not account for the manifold social implications of the diagnosis. The continuing care that people with Alzheimer’s disease receive is often overlooked. To challenge commonplace mischaracterizations of dementia as social death, we must take seriously the experiences of people living with the disease and contribute to redefining common understandings of dementia in ways that include the continuity of social recognition and the possibility of living a good life.
O problema da incoerência no direito público
Authors: Tostes de Alencar Mascarenhas Rodrigo
Published: December 2023

O objetivo do presente trabalho é relativamente simples: chamar atenção para o elevado grau de incoerência do direito público brasileiro que tem (junto com outros fatores) levado a um grau de ineficácia da atuação estatal que é extremamente prejudicial à população. Composto por normas com origens, forças normativas e objetos distintos, o sistema jurídico carrega necessariamente (ao menos antes de ser “aplicado”) um grande volume de incoerências ou de contradições, ou, mais especificamente, de normas impondo ou proibindo comportamentos contraditórios; uma Lei “X” mandando fazer “A” enquanto outra Lei “Y” proíbe (ou, o que é mais comum, torna extremamente difícil) fazer “A”. Até um determinado grau a incoerência (ou a incoerência prima facie) faz parte do sistema jurídico de qualquer país, e encontrar solução para ela – ou seja, construir a coerência – é uma das tarefas ordinárias da área jurídica. Mas o grau de incoerência ou, sob outro ângulo, a incapacidade de obter um mínimo de coerência no direito público brasileiro tem gerado situações de paralisia dos entes públicos.
Los archivos sonoros en la radio municipal en la Era de la plataformización. El caso de la Comunitat Valenciana
Authors: Terol Bolinches Raúl , Camarasa Sanchis Miquel
Published: December 2023

En la Sociedad de la Información y del Conocimiento la irrupción de Internet y su expansión en el siglo XXI provocaron, entre muchas otras cosas, una mayor facilidad en el acceso a los datos y a la información. Los medios de comunicación han tenido que adaptar sus rutinas ante las nuevas posibilidades que les ofrecía la red, entre ellas la de conseguir un alcance global. La radio no estuvo ajena a este cambio y mostró de nuevo su capacidad de resiliencia para adaptarse al nuevo ecosistema digital. Así lo hizo también la radio de más pequeñas dimensiones, la de titularidad municipal, que vio como este cambio provocaba que su difusión ya no se circunscribiera únicamente a su demarcación geográfica sino que se pudiera escuchar por todo el mundo empleando una tecnología muy económica.
La presente investigación tiene por objetivo analizar la forma mediante la que las emisoras municipales de la Comunitat Valenciana registran y comparten su archivo sonoro con la audiencia a través de dos formas: el podcasting o la radio a la carta. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación se ha llevado un análisis cuantitativo de las XX emisoras municipales de XX en el que se ha observado cómo estos medios de comunicación de ámbito municipal conservan en el tiempo los programas que se difunden a través de la frecuencia modulada y cómo los distribuyen a través de sus páginas web y las diferentes plataformas de audio digital.
Ondas largas: una revisión de la interpretación de Ernest Mandel tras 50 años de El capitalismo tardío
Authors: Albarracín Sánchez Daniel
Published: December 2023

Revisamos el modelo de las ondas largas de Ernest Mandel, tras 50 años de su planteamiento en El capitalismo tardío, para mostrar el potencial de su esquema, al tiempo que apuntamos las cuestiones a superar a la luz de las evidencias y reflexiones teóricas aportadas por otros autores marxistas posteriores.
Cuestiones no previstas o aún no concebidas por Ernest Mandel han sido abordadas por Anwar Shaikh, Claudio Katz, Francisco Louça, François Chesnais, Michel Husson, Eric Toussaint, Jesús Albarracín o Jacques Governeur, entre otros, revisando y actualizando el modelo. Estos autores han observado y teorizado elementos que mejoran, sin invalidar, los aspectos centrales del modelo de Mandel. Particularmente, entre otros, sobre la evolución precisa de los ciclos, el comercio internacional o aproximaciones mejor definidas del significado y papel de la composición orgánica del capital.
Los fenómenos de financiarización, mostrando su influencia en el proceso de acumulación, la tendencia a la formación de un mercado mundial en un contexto geopolítico conflictivo, o la nueva hegemonía neoliberal autoritaria, merecen su consideración. Además, daremos cuenta sobre la experiencia de la última fase de acumulación, desde los años 80 hasta la actualidad. El artículo, asimismo, aborda la necesaria articulación de la teoría de la onda larga con la teoría de la dependencia. El capítulo también aborda la necesaria articulación de la teoría de la onda larga con la teoría de la dependencia. Por último, se discute la dinámica y el papel del proceso de oligopolización y el papel de la financiarización, en tanto que han dado pie a numerosas controversias, que apuntó Mandel, con algunas respuestas de interés, que no terminaron de cerrar el debate.

Morphological and chemical characteristics of amphibole crystals in desilicated pegmatites, Rila Mountain, SW Bulgaria
Authors: Dimitrov Martin , Banushev Banush , Pristavova Stefka
Published: December 2023

The desilicated pegmatites from the area of the Urdini lakes, Northwest Rila Mountain intersect ultramafic bodies, occurring among high-grade metamorphic basement of the Rila-Rhodope batholith. The following rock-forming minerals are characteristic – plagioclase (mainly oligoclase), phlogopite, amphibole, actinolite, tremolite, anthophyllite, chlorite and others. Minerals from the amphibole supergroup are studied using optical, X-ray diffraction, X-ray spectral and chemical methods. Their morphology and crystal chemistry are characterized as well as their classification and nomenclature position are determined. Actinolite, tremolite, anthophyllite and Mg-hornblende from the amphibole supergroup are identified. The trends and variations in the chemical composition at their central and peripheral sections have been clarified.
Picropharmacolite and arsenolite from the Mareshnitsa ore occurrence, Eastern Rhodopes – new minerals for Bulgaria
Authors: Encheva Svetlana , Gospodinov Nikolay , Yanakieva Denka , Petrov Petko , Atanasova-Vladimirova Stela
Published: December 2023

New for Bulgaria arsenic minerals picropharmacolite and arsenolite from the Mareshnitsa ore occurrence, Eastern Rhodopes are presented. Their formation is due to the oxidation of arsenopyrite, which is abundant in the samples. The composition of the picropharmacolite from Mareshnitsa differs from the picropharmacolite from other deposits around the world. It is characterized by relatively few impurities and excess of Mg, which substitute part of Ca. This is resulting in smaller a parameter of the unit cell. The presence of these two new arsenic minerals sheds additional light on the behaviour of arsenic in the area.
Incorporation of As, Sb and Tl in pyrite from the epithermal Kandilka prospect, Eastern Rhodopes, south Bulgaria
Authors: Georgieva Yana , Vassileva Rossitsa D. , Georgieva Sylvina
Published: December 2023

The major and trace-element chemistry of two pyrite generations (Py1 and Py2) from the Kandilka epithermal prospect was studied by EDS-scanning electron microscopy and laser ablation ICP-MS techniques. Both generations of pyrite are distinguished by occurrence and chemical properties. Pyrite from the first generation (Py1) is established as trace-element poor, sub- to euhedral (mainly single) crystals up to 200 µm. The later As-bearing pyrite (Py2) forms fine-grained semi-massive aggregates with increased contents of trace-elements. Except for arsenic, Py2 is enriched in gold and antimony. The As content of Py2 increases in an oscillatory manner from core to rim, reflecting changes in As activity and the chemical evolution of ore-bearing fluids. The oscillatory-zoned pyrite is composed of complex rhythmic overgrowths of alternating As-rich and As-poor bands. Positive correlation between As- and Au-content in Py2 is characteristic. According to the current results, the Kandilka prospect could be concerned as a low-sulphidation deposit.
Coexisting nickel diarsenide polymorphs in the five-element mineralization
of the Bihor metallogenetic district, Apuseni Mountains, Romania
Authors: Săbău Gavril , Dincă George , Filiuță Andra Elena
Published: December 2023

The three known polymorphs of nickel diarsenide were found to coexist in apparent equilibrium in the five-element mineralizations of the Bihor Metallogenetic District. It is the first identification of pararammelsbergite and krutovite in Romania, and the locality joins a very limited list of occurrences where all three NiAs2 polymorphs coexist. Both phases newly identified in Romania are easily distinguishable from rammelsbergite by their optical properties and display consistent compositional differences manifested in stoichiometry and degree of isomorphic substitution. The NiAs2 polymorphs coexist with nickeline and skutterudite and apparently predate cobaltite-gersdorffite in a mesothermal depositional sequence characterized by initial separation of Ni and Co in metal-poorer arsenides, followed by continuous decrease of arsenic activity, increase in sulfur activity, modal increase of nickeline and Co enrichment in the gersdorffite-cobaltite series.
Mafic adakite-like magmatism at the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary from the Northwest Rhodopes, Bulgaria
Authors: Filipov Petyo
Published: December 2023

New findings of monzogabbro and gabbro-monzodiorite dykes aged 62 Ma reveal the existence of magmatism in the gap between termination of the Late Cretaceous subduction-related and start of the early–middle Eocene post-collisional magmatic stages in the Rhodope Massif. Their geochemical compositions strongly resemble adakitic signature as well as hornblende and epidote geobarometers predicted lower crustal conditions (20–30 km depth) of crystallization. Detailed studies on U-Pb geochronology of zircon populations and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic compositions point to significant assimilation of the local basement and mixing of mantle-crust sources in the regime of a thickened crust.
Mercury in geological materials from Bulgaria: Significance, applications, new analytical capabilities, and initial results
Authors: Georgiev Svetoslav V. , Bidzhova Lora
Published: December 2023

The chemical properties of mercury (Hg) such as volatility, organic affinity, multiple oxidation states and extreme biotoxicity, determine its various industrial applications, but also health hazard concerns. Mercury data on geologic materials are important for characterizing the main sources and sinks of Hg, for tracking volcanic activity in the geology past, for refining regional and global stratigraphic correlations, and for minimizing anthropogenic mercury emissions. Newly obtained Hg and CHNS analyzers available at the Geological Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, facilitate new geologic and environmental research in Bulgaria. Here we show initial results for the accuracy and precision of our Hg analyses based on repeated measurements of certified reference material NIST 2702 and identify avenues for further analytical improvements. The encouraging results allow for the initiation of diverse geological and ecological studies that are needed, but currently lacking in Bulgaria.
Difficulty of Sustainability Performance Targets in CEO Bonus Plans
Authors: Lenihan Orla , Brennan Niamh M.
Published: December 2023

Drawing on insights from goal-setting theory, we assert that performance targets are highly likely to be reached when they are set lower than prior performance. We hand-collect data on sustainability performance targets in S&P 500 CEO bonus plans. We find that these targets are set lower than prior performance, demonstrating that sustainability targets are not difficult for CEOs to achieve. We also compare the difficulty of sustainability performance targets in CEO bonus plans with that of financial performance targets, showing that sustainability targets are significantly less demanding. Furthermore, we observe that almost two-thirds of sustainability performance targets are realized at the end of the year, which creates a favorable impression of sustainability performance. By setting easy CEO sustainability performance targets, we contend that boards do not motivate high effort on sustainability performance. The implications of our findings are threefold: (1) boards should set more challenging sustainability performance targets in CEO pay to effectively govern corporate sustainability performance; (2) firm stakeholders should actively engage with boards to ensure CEO compensation appropriately incentivizes high performance on sustainability matters; (3) ESG (environmental, social, governance) investors should be cautious if comparing ex post realized sustainability performance to ex ante targets, as the information may be misleading.
The artistic peculiarities of Alexandru Grecu’s direction from the last decade of the 20th century
Authors: Koroliova Elfrida
Published: December 2023

The article provides a brief analysis of the process of the artistic development of Alexandru Grecu’s creative personality and the manifestation of his distinct directorial peculiarities in the performances: Ce e viaţa omului/ What is the life of a man, Moţoc, Hercules, Unde mergem, domnilor?/Where are we going, gentlemen?, Triunghiul păcatului/The triangle of sin, Moliere, Căsătorie cu de-a sila/Forced Marriage, Ciuleandra, Care-s sălbaticii?/ Who are the savages?, Metamorphoses I, Metamorphoses II, S.R.L, The Moldovan, the Master and Margarita. Examining the peculiarities of Alexandru Grecu’s direction, the author reveals the artistic message that identifies the interconnection and interdependence of public life and of each individual in a rapidly changing world. The article emphasizes the fact that, being a relevant component of the artistic culture of the era of postmodernism, the performances of Alexandru Grecu, as a distinct sociocultural phenomenon, reveal through the prism of a multidimensional theatrical action the essence of the phenomena of social life, basing its artistic approach on the dramatic material, its stage interpretation, the situation and the moment in which the stage creation is produced.
The war on the Dniester in 1992 in the contemporary drama of Moldova
Authors: Khalil-Butucioc Dorina
Published: December 2023

Bessarabian playwrights, at the turn of the centuries, addressed several taboo subjects, such as it was and still is the Dniester War of 1992. However, the evocation of this event that has already become history served as the pre/subtext of the following dramatic texts: Saxofonul cu frunze roşii/Saxophone with red leaves by Val Butnaru, staged at ”Luceafărul” Theater (1998); the plays by C. Cheianu Noi/We, staged at ”Luceafărul” Theater (1994), and Ţara asta a uitat de Noi…/This country has forgotten us…, at the National Theater ”Satiricus I. L. Caragiale” (2011); Fata cea mută a început să vorbească/The dumb girl started talking by D. Crudu, Teatrul Radiofonic România (2013); Tără(z)boi by Mariana Starciuc staged in Satu Mare, Iasi, Piatra Neamţ (2018); Valsul Tancurilor/Tanks’ Waltz by Irina Nechit staged at the National Theater ”Satiricus I.L. Caragiale” (2020). The scenes of the texts, written in different registers, alternate from deep drama to overwhelming tragedy, the amalgam of realism and fiction being, however, nuanced. Of an overwhelming topicality, these dramatic works are not only chronicles, but also open files in which the characters play the role of participants, witnesses, prosecutors, lawyers, executors. Thus, these plays are a true history lesson provoking the touching of sensitive chords and reviving the memory of present and future generations.
Relations of dance culture and social structure in a Moldavian rural community
Authors: Bondea Vivien
Published: December 2023

The social structure of the Moldavian Csángó settlements and the social systems that form in the dance scenes significantly determine the possibility of participation in dance occasions and the formal and stylistic performance of dances. The gender, age, and marital status of community members, as well as the specific position of dancers and the relationship between them, are revealed in dance forms and practices of space use on the dance floor, individual dance construction, and dancers’ behaviour. Through the study of local dance cultures, a social structure is observable that is held together by gendered and generationally defined norms, rules, and obligations. This makes dancing a socially defined collective activity in rural communities in Moldavia, Romania. The aim of this study is to interpret the representational practices of age and social status in dance culture, which are constantly changing, through the example of dance events, especially weddings, in a single Moldavian Csángó village.
The meanings of the road in the films inspired by Ion Creangă’s stories
Authors: Tipa Violeta
Published: December 2023

The article highlights the paradigm of the road, starting with biblical stories, myths and folk stories up to the image of the road presented in the youngest art - cinematography - where it is involved both functionally and symbolically-metaphorically. The road becomes a fundamental element, especially in the road movie genre, which obviously broadens its boundaries, discussing the most current issues. The emphasis will be on the meanings of the road in a special genre, the films-tales, and in particular, those inspired by Ion Creangă’s works. Arming ourselves with the theories of Vladimir Propp and those of Joseph Campbell, we will go through the interpretations of Crengian fairy tales in the films: De-aşi fi…Harap Alb/If I were Harap Alb (1965), Povestea dragostei/Love story (1976), Maria Mirabela (1981) - all directed Ion Popescu Gopo, Se caută un paznic/ Looking for a guard (1965) by Gheorghe Vodă and Dănilă Prepeleac (1996) by Tudor Tătaru. The road in the mentioned films is one of the basic elements: from the road of knowledge of the world and the internal road to oneself, to becoming a personality, as well as other meanings that we will detect in the analysis process.
Identity dilemmas in the context of media globalization
Authors: Bohantov Alexandru
Published: December 2023

The phenomenon of globalization is characterized by a multitude of components: economic, financial, political, military, cultural and communicational. In the media sphere, for example, the new information technologies generated the metaphor of “global village” (Marshall McLuhan), which substantially reconfigured the universe of communication through the free circulation of information and audiovisual entertainment formats. A veritable industry of international formats has sprung up, which has caused the homogenization of the global media market. Nonetheless, the harmful dimension of this agglutinating process has also become visible by the fact that media globalization threatens the national identity, the traditional cultural customs and values, etc. The start of the digital era is marked by the expansion of the Internet, the proliferation of mobile phones and the strong impact of social networks in the public space. In the given context, our analysis will also focus on a relatively new phenomenon: virtual identity.
The censorship interference in television serials and series during martial law in Poland (1981-1983) – historical and legal context
Authors: Święch Wojciech Adam
Published: December 2023

Throughout the period of the People’s Republic of Poland, political and systemic solutions were undemocratic. There was the Main Office of Control of Press, Publications and Shows (GUKPPiW)., whose name was changed in July 1981 to the Main Office of Control of Publications and Shows (GUKPiW). On 13 December 1981, the communists (under the leadership of General Wojciech Jaruzelski) introduced martial law, which was abolished on 22 July 1983. The state authorities tried to stop the development of Independent Self-Governing Trade Union “Solidarity”. Society, including the makers of television serial and series, has been subjected to even tighter control. Preventive censorship had a negative impact on the development of cultural and artistic life. The aim of this article is to show the mechanisms of operation of Polish censorship (also in the historical and legal context), which had an impact on the broadcast of programs on Polish Television during martial law (1981-1983).

Published: December 2023

This study applies the Motivation - Opportunity – Ability model on social networking platforms to study tourists’ selection of green hotels for their participation in sports events. The study analyzed the intention to choose green hotels of 324 Vietnamese tourists staying at 4- and 5-star hotels with green labels in Vietnam. The research results show that the Motivations, Opportunity, and Ability factors in using social networks have a positive impact on the belief in green hotels, thereby promoting the intention to choose green hotels when tourists participate in sports events in Vietnam. This study also provides some practical implications for green hotels in using social networks to enhance the trust and intention to choose a hotel of tourists participating in sports events. At the same time, the study also proposes some suggestions for directing human resources training towards the organization of tourism-integrated sports events to create responsible tourism products.
Financial distress predictions with Altman, Springate, Zmijewski, Taffler and Grover models
Authors: Marsenne Maureen , Ismail Tubagus , Taqi Muhamad , Hanifah Imam Abu
Published: December 2023

Several models have been developed to predict financial difficulties and corporate bankruptcy. In this research various models were employed, including the Altman model (referred to as the Z-Score), the Springate model (known as the S-Score), the Zmijewski model (designated as the X-Score), and the Grover model (referred to as the G-Score). These techniques serve the purpose of evaluating the likelihood of encountering financial difficulties, which in turn determines the probability of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk going bankrupt. The study utilized secondary data sourced from financial statements spanning the years from 2020 to 2022. The application of the Altman model for bankruptcy prediction revealed that PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero), Tbk experienced financial distress throughout the period from 2020 to 2022. According to the Springate model, the company was in a state of distress and declared bankruptcy in 2020 and 2022, while 2021 fell into a grey area. The Zmijewski model indicated that the company was on the brink of bankruptcy, with financial difficulties and a potential risk of bankruptcy within the next three years. Grover's model predicted bankruptcy for the company in 2020 and 2022, but indicated safety in 2021. Notably, the Taffler model emerged as the most accurate in forecasting bankruptcy, boasting a 100% accuracy rate with no errors. Meanwhile, the Zmijewski model achieved an 81.25% accuracy rate with an error rate of 18.75%, and the Springate model exhibited the lowest accuracy in bankruptcy prediction, scoring only 12.50% accuracy with an error rate of 87.50%.
Generations, permanent income and housing tenure choice: A multinomial logit model approach
Authors: Huynh Thuy Tien , Truong Dang Thuy
Published: December 2023

This paper examines how generational cohorts influence households’ choices regarding housing tenure and considers the diverse preferences and socio-economic factors that shape decisions—using survey data on 425 families in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The data is analyzed using a multinomial logit model. The results indicate that generation significantly positively affects housing tenure choice, such that, unlike older cohorts, younger generations are more inclined to rent houses as their preferred housing option. Furthermore, permanent income plays a significant role in shaping housing tenure choices. On the other hand, social-economic variables, namely education, gender of references, family structures, and area of residence, were significant in influencing housing tenure decisions. This finding highlights the importance of housing policies prioritizing affordable and accessible rental options in large cities.
Designing key performance indicators (KPIs) for decent work in the pharmaceutical supply chain of Iran
Authors: Lashgari Fatemeh , Teimoury Ebrahim , Seyedhosseini Seyed Mohammad , Radfar Reza
Published: December 2023

While decent work has emerged as the central theme of the psychology of work theory and a global concept and directive for promoting social, political, and economic justice, it has garnered increasing scientific and political attention in the past two decades. However, until now, no defined measurement scale for the pharmaceutical supply chain exists. The present study aims to design and validate key performance indicators (KPIs) for 'decent work' in the pharmaceutical industry supply chain of Iran, using the Decent Work Daffi Scale (2017) as a reliable framework with five sub-scales and 15 items, tested and validated. For the validation of the Decent Work Scale, a quantitative survey study was conducted among selected pharmaceutical industry experts with a sample size of 228 individuals in the year 2023. The current study adopted an exploratory factor analysis approach using SPSS software and a confirmatory factor analysis through AMOS version 24 software. In this context, the factor structure, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficients were examined. The results showed that the five-factor structure outperforms the one-factor model with evidence supporting the convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity of the five-factor scale. Thus, the measurement of decent work in the pharmaceutical industry of Iran comprises five sub-scales: occupational safety conditions, access to healthcare, adequate remuneration, Free time and rest, and alignment of organizational values with family and societal values. This scale can serve as a useful tool for industrial and organizational psychology research, as well as for studies on the sustainability of social supply chains.
The effect of big data competencies and tone at the top on internal auditors fraud detection effectiveness
Authors: Dewi Novy Silvia , Said Jamaliah , Faiza Sharifah Nazatul , Julian Lufti
Published: December 2023

Financial reports provide information about a company's assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flow. This information can be used by various parties such as investors, creditors, government and management to make business decisions and assess company performance. Companies in obtaining good financial reports need to detect fraudulent financial statements first. Financial statement fraud can be detrimental to investors and creditors because it gives a wrong picture of a company's financial performance. This study aims to examine the effect of big data competence and the tone of the top internal auditors on the detection of financial statement fraud, as well as to mediate the effect of big data competence on the detection of financial statement fraud through self-efficacy. This research uses a sample of 183 respondents who are internal auditors in companies in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of the study show that big data competence has no significant effect on the detection of financial statement fraud, but has a positive and significant effect on self-efficacy. In addition, the internal auditor's tone of the top also has a positive and significant effect on the detection of financial statement fraud. Finally, self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between big data competence and fraud detection of financial statements. This research provides important implications for practitioners and decision makers in developing internal auditor competence in the field of big data and paying attention to tone of the top as an important factor in detecting fraudulent financial statements. In addition, this research also contributes to strengthening the understanding of the relationship between big data competence, tone of the top, self-efficacy, and fraud detection of financial statements in the Indonesian context.
A machine learning technique for Android malicious attacks detection based on API calls
Authors: AL-Akhras Mousa , Alghamdi Saud , Omar Hani , Alshareef Hazzaa
Published: December 2023

Android malware is widespread and it is considered as one of the most threatening attacks recently. The threat is targeting to damage access data or information or leaking them; in general, malicious software consists of viruses, worms, and other malware. Current malware attempts to prevent being detected by any software or anti-virus. This paper describes recent Android malware detection static and interactive approaches as well as several open-source malware datasets. The paper also examines the most current state-of-the-art Android malware identification techniques including identifying by comparative evaluation the gaps between these techniques. As a result, an API-based dynamic malware detection framework is proposed for Android to provide a dynamic paradigm for malware detection. The proposed framework was closely inspected and checked for reliability where meaningful API packages and methods were discovered.

This paper proposes an original view to determine the effect of P2P loans on MSME and non-MSME bank loans after the COVID-19 pandemic as a whole and then focuses on the island of Java (more developed areas) and outside Java (areas which are still undeveloped). The approach used in this study uses panel data regression from 33 provinces in Indonesia during Jan-Dec 2022 after the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study confirm that P2P lending is not a disrupter for bank credit, the details of the results are: (1) P2P lending has a significant positive effect on overall MSME banking credit, but has no significant effect on overall non-MSME banking credit; (2) P2P lending has no significant effect on MSME banking credit in Java, but has a significant positive effect on non-MSME banking credit in Java after the COVID-19 pandemic; (3) P2P lending has a significant positive effect on MSME banking credit outside Java after the COVID-19 pandemic, but has no significant effect on non-MSME banking credit in Java post the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sukawati Art Market is one of the distinguished art markets in Bali for decades, which is also close to the Sukawati Public Market. The government is making efforts to revitalize the Sukawati Public Market to become the Sukawati Art Market, while the Sukawati Public Market is being relocated to a new location far from settlements. So that during the two years of the market revitalization and reallocation program it was quiet and triggered the emergence of traders around the old market area which disturbed public order. The purpose of this research is to analyze the polemic of stakeholders objectives regarding the Sukawati Market revitalization and relocation program, using MACTOR analysis. The results of the analysis show that local government, village government, and custom village are regulatory actors, while traditional markets' sellers are the main target of the project and serve as mediation to other actors. Actors still have polemic interests, especially traders outside the market. Therefore the local government needs to control, educate, and make innovation to facilitate the sellers around outside the traditional market. The revitalization program and market relocation are successful, the traditional markets’ sellers return to selling, and the market will be busy again.

Condition-based maintenance (CBM) of industrial machines depends on the continuous, real-time monitoring of the machine’s operational condition via smart sensors attached to different components on the machine. The problem of regularly spaced missing data, which can occur due to a variety of hardware or software issues, is one that is often overlooked in the literature surrounding CBM in industrial machines. Such missing data can cause issues in interpreting the true operational state of the machine, which can reduce the effectiveness of CBM processes. In this paper, we examine the capabilities of five data imputation techniques for handling this regular missing data and examine the impact these techniques have on machine learning (ML) classification algorithms for machine fault diagnosis. We examine the following techniques: simple mean imputation, mean imputation with outliers removed, best and worst-case imputation, and previous day imputation. Each of these methods is configured with the specific parameters that they will only consider data from the previous 24 hours, to ensure that the data is recent, and adequately represents the current status of the machine. The efficacy of each method at accurately reconstructing the missing data and the impact they have on ML classification is recorded in the results. The models are evaluated on a real-world dataset and are evaluated on a variety of common performance metrics.

Research around inclusive education has paid more attention on practice to the detriment of human resource capacity prerequisites necessary for its implementation. Many actors are providing education to children with disabilities in the Northwest Region of Cameroon (NWR) but little is known about their human resource capacities. Based on these premises, the necessity to fill the gap, motivated this action-based research aimed at identifying the human resource capacities available for inclusive education practice in the NWR of Cameroon. A mixed method design was adopted for data collection and analysis using a comprehensive survey and in-depth key informant interviews. The data analysis grounded on a human rights perspective focused on human resources available, including special teachers, mainstream teachers, different stakeholders and training for inclusive education. The findings show that there is disaggregated information related to human resource capacities for the implementations of inclusive education in the NWR and diversified human resources with each stakeholder implementing to the best of their individual abilities and a wide gap in collaboration amongst stakeholders. The study thus proposes strategies to enhance collaboration that is crucial for IE to succeed and concludes that there is need to build an institutional framework for collaboration that will help to harness the diversified practices. A CoP developed as a result of this research has for the past 3 years implemented 80% of the key findings. The research thus serves as an empirical baseline for projects related to inclusive education and also for researchers and stakeholders interested in the development of inclusive education in Cameroon.
Utilization of Antibiotic Bone Cement in Spine Surgery: Pearls, Techniques, and Case Review

Vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) encompasses a spectrum of spinal infections ranging from isolated mild vertebral osteomyelitis to severe diffuse infection with associated epidural abscess and fracture. Although patients can often be treated with an initial course of intravenous antibiotics, surgery is sometimes required in patients with sepsis, spinal instability, neurological compromise, or failed medical treatment. Antibiotic bone cement (ABC) has been widely used in orthopedic extremity surgery for more than 150 years, both for prophylaxis and treatment of bacterial infection. However, relatively little literature exists regarding its utilization in spine surgery. This article describes ABC utilization in orthopedic surgery and explains the technique of ABC utilization in spine surgery. Surgeons can choose from multiple premixed ABCs with variable viscosities, setting times, and antibiotics or can mix in antibiotics to bone cements themselves. ABC can be used to fill large defects in the vertebral body or disc space or in some cases to coat instrumentation. Surgeons should be wary of complications such as ABC extravasation as well as an increased difficulty with revision. With a thorough understanding of the properties of the cement and the methods of delivery, ABC is a powerful adjunct in the treatment of spinal infections.
