Published: February 2024

The collapse of many organizations could be linked to the weak performance of management team members. The management team is the engine of growth implemented through designing strategies with which organization will manage its internal affairs bearing in mind the external environmental influences. Drawing on our research and the work of others, we explore the various organization design strategies and how that could bring sustainability. In doing, it was deduced that sustainability initiative, and the accompanying changes to the organizational structure, must have executive sponsorship and the CEO must be a visible proponent of the sustainability vision for the company. Executive sponsorship accelerates engagement by employees and business units, but even better results can be expected if the CEO is proactive and assume personal leadership of a highly visible sustainability program. It was however, recommended that: The leader of the sustainability initiative should have a direct reporting relationship with both the CEO and the board of directors in order to send a signal to employees and other stakeholders about the important of the initiative and provide the initiative with access to the support and resources available from high-level executives and managers in other departments.

Okra is highly perishable due to its high respiration rate and high-water content, thus reducing its marketability. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different polysaccharide-based edible coatings on the physicochemical and physiological properties of okra fruits. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with nine treatments and three replications. Four edible coatings were assessed at two different concentrations. The treatments comprised T0: uncoated (control), T1: 1% sodium alginate (AL), T2: 2% sodium alginate, T3: 1% pectin, T4: 2% pectin, T5: 1% carboxymethyl cellulose, T6: 2% carboxymethyl cellulose, T7: 1% cornstarch and T8: 2% cornstarch. Okra fruits were stored in refrigerated conditions with the temperature ranging from 9 to 11 °C and relative humidity of 76 to 85%. Samples were collected on days 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 for analysis of weight loss, firmness, shriveling, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), vitamin C, respiration rate, ethylene production and microbial growth. The results indicated that the use of polysaccharide-based edible coatings significantly influenced moisture and dry matter content, weight loss, firmness, shriveling, pH, TSS, TA, vitamin C, respiration and microbial count of okra fruits. The various coatings, including alginate, pectin, carboxymethyl cellulose and cornstarch, significantly preserved the quality of okra compared with the control treatment. Among the four coatings used, 2% alginate (w/v) demonstrated the most effective preservation of the fruit quality of okra.

Retirement age in the context of public finance implications
Authors: Šetek Jaroslav , Alina Jiří , Bajer David
Published: February 2024

The aging of population, which is a pan-European as well as Czech trend, will have a significant impact after 2030, fundamentally affecting public finances. For this reason, a possible extension of the retirement age is also being considered. So far, two alternatives have been presented - retirement age of 65–67 years after 2035 and a maximum age limit of 65 years. The age limit of 65 is unacceptable for some professions due to the accelerated depreciation of human capital. Therefore, economically efficient retirement schemes should be set up for early retirement for professions with significant physical and mental stress, hazards (mining, metallurgy, construction, airmen, rescuers, etc.). At the same time, the onset of the Industry 4.0 era, coupled with extensive technological changes, complicates the forecast for anchoring the retirement age. In particular, the situation requires addressing the current problems that the Czech economy and its pension system struggle with. From an economic point of view, it is a reduction of the retirement age for particularly demanding professions. This issue concerns the macroeconomic context with appropriate implications for public resources. Therefore, the paper requires an interdisciplinary approach to the processing of social sciences (especially economics, financial theory, social security law, sociology, demography).
A Glimpse of Civilian Life in Sarawak Under the Empire of the Sun
Authors:   Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak, Kuching﻿, Teck Ong Liap
Published: February 2024

Sarawak was occupied by the Japanese Imperial Army for close to four years during World War II. This study aims to paint a picture of civilian life during the Japanese Occupation through an archival analysis of artefacts sourced primarily from civilian sources. This study found the existence of a systematic societal framework that combined elements of the Brooke dynasty and the prevailing Japanese societal structure of the 1940s. This finding is significant as it provides evidence of how Sarawak differed from other territories occupied by the Japanese at the time. This discovery contributes to the wider study of Sarawak’s past during World War II.

Sungai Pasu is one of the adjoining rivers to Kuala Baram and plays a significant economic role in terms of fisheries. This study was carried out to investigate the fish and prawn species diversity in Sungai Pasu using local fishing boats and cast nets in wet season and dry season. The wet season in this study was in March 2019, November 2019 and March 2020, while the dry season was in April to August 2019. Fish and prawn diversity indices were calculated using Shannon-Weiner and Pielou Evenness. A total of 37 species from 24 families were recorded. The dominant fish species recorded was Kurtus indicus (31.19 %), whereas the dominant prawn species was Fenneropenaeus merguensis (10.64 %). The highest number of species was recorded in March 2020 (20) while August 2019 recorded the lowest species (8). For Shannon-Weiner (H’) and Pielou Evenness (J) index, in March 2019 showed the highest index with 2.54 and 0.86 and August 2019 showed the lowest index with 1.28, 0.62 respectively.
The Sarawak Museum and Usun Apau, with a list of mammals collected by the Oxford University Exploration Club Expedition of 1955-1956
Authors: Earl of Cranbrook Gathorne,
Published: February 2024

Tales of Usun Apau attracted Tom Harrisson in 1932, when he led an Oxford University Exploration Club expedition. In 1951 Harrisson (Curator of Sarawak Museums 1947-1966) with the Director of Lands and Surveys and Museum staff, crossed Usun Apau from the Tinjar river to the Plieran and Murum tributaries of the Belaga river. In 1955 Harrisson encouraged a further Oxford University Exploration Club expedition to revisit Usun Apau. Mammals were collected by Tom C. Chavasse and Gaun ak Sureng. After being sorted at the Sarawak Museum, the collection was donated to the Chicago Natural History Museum (now Field Museum). Table 1 combines the list made at the Sarawak Museum and the Field Museum digital catalogue. It also charts the collectors’ progress from Long Luar, on the Plieran river, across Usun Apau to the upper Selio, a tributary of the Baram, ending at Long Akah on 2nd February 1956. Diurnal tree squirrels form the largest ecological group, most numerous being endemic subspecies of Prevost’s squirrel Callosciurus prevostii, together with seven Bornean endemic species in the genera Sundasciurus, Dremomys and Rheithrosciurus. Also in the collection are six endemic treeshrews (Scandentia) and three endemic primates. Ten carnivore species include the endemic Hose’s civet Hemigalus hosei; ungulates include the endemic Bornean yellow muntjac Muntiacus atherodes. The Usun Apau National Park has already attracted new scientific investigations. This mammal collection of 1955-56 offers a historic baseline. New technologies, including live trapping (and releasing) and photography, will add to the list of mammals.

Isovitexin from Melinjo (Gnetum gnemon L.) leaves was extracted using mixtures of liquid CO2 and ethanol. For finding out the optimum extraction condition, extraction tests were performed at 5, 20 and 25 °C under pressures ranging from 8 to 14 MPa. A conventional extraction by ethanol was performed to compare the extraction yield of isovitexin. We conducted qualitative and quantitative analyses for isovitexin in the extract by using HPLC. The effects of three operating parameters, including temperature, pressure and the mole fraction of ethanol in liquid CO2, on the extraction yield were investigated using the single-factor method. The yield of isovitexin in the extract was significantly improved by adjusting the extraction temperature and the solvent composition.
A study of Forward Osmosis Performance and its Application on Sodium Succinate Feed Solution Using Ionic Salt Draw Solution
Authors: Yih Law Jeng , Mohammad Abdul Wahab
Published: February 2024

Osmotically driven forward osmosis (FO) process is gaining increasing attentions among researchers. At present, the application of FO technology in the downstream recovery for biorefinery products is not common. With the increasing demand of energy intensive and economical technologies that are capable to concentrate dilute aqueous solutions, FO may find its potential in biorefinery application. In this paper, the osmotic pressure of different types of draw solution compound (sodium chloride, sodium acetate, sodium formate, ethylene glycol, and sodium lactate) was simulated. Experimental results were compared to the neutral compound and inorganic salt compound obtained from the previous literature and the performance of permeation flux was evaluated. It is desirable to carry out the FO process at higher draw solution concentration in order to achieve a fast water permeation process. The draw solution dilution effect was more pronounced at high solution concentration as a result of greater water permeation flux. Higher conductivities were obtained at increasing draw solution concentration indicating higher electrolyte concentration in the feed solution due to the reverse solute permeation. The application of FO technology for concentrating sodium succinate feed solution has shown encouraging results.

Keywords : forward osmosis, osmotic pressure, water transport flux, conductivity, reverse solute permeation

EL TÓPICO UT PICTURA POESIS COMO DOCTRINA POÉTICA EN EL SIGLO DE ORO
Authors:   Universidad del Oeste de Timişoara, POSADA ADOLFO R.
Published: February 2024

The Renaissance brought along with itself a multitude of reforms inspired by Humanism. Among them, the substantial change in the artistic precepts. Artists and poets progressively abandoned the strict allegorical and moralistic normative of medieval Christian aesthetics and went deep into the unexplored territory of a new poetic and rhetorical doctrine. Thanks to the Renaissance reading of Greco-Latin philosophers and grammarians, it is configured a first theory of modern art on a series of humanistic topics based on the classic Hellenistic aesthetics. One of the most prominent common places in this sense was the horatian ut pictura poesis topic, which inspired to the poets and artists in the Renaissance and Baroque a shared normative ruled by the mimesis, decorum, codes and imitative modes. The Spanish Golden Age writers and artists were not unaware of this fever, consisting in the systematical sisterhood of the arts beyond their possibilities and limits. Taking into account these issues, this paper analyzes the trace left by the poetic doctrine ut pictura poesis in the Habsburg Spain, in order to broaden our knowledge about the dawn of art theory in the Modern Age.
LA VIOLENCIA VERBAL ENTRE MARIDO Y MUJER EN LOS SIGLOS XVI Y XVII
Authors:   GRISO – Universidad de Navarra, USUNÁRIZ JESÚS M.
Published: February 2024

Despite the current social concern about the abuse of women, psychological violence, especially verbal aggression, has not received as much attention as physical or sexual violence; perhaps because it is more subtle, perhaps because it is less visible or appreciable in the social environment, being words used in privacy of own home; maybe, for having been minimized by that same social context. This text wants to address the analysis of verbal abuse in the Spain of Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries, in order to establish comparisons, ―without falling, as far as possible, in anachronisms―, on attitudes and procedures of the lead or supporting actors, in episodes of violence in marriage.
ENTRE LO MEMORABLE Y LO DEPLORABLE: LA AUSTRÍADA COMO MUESTRA DE DISCORDANCIAS HISTÓRICAS RELATIVAS A LA BATALLA DE LEPANTO
Authors:   Universidad de Basilea, PANCORBO Fernando J.
Published: February 2024

La batalla de Lepanto ocupa un lugar de excelencia en la Historia y en Literatura de España, un capítulo que ha servido para crear una conciencia común de gloria del pasado. Más allá de Cervantes, muchos han sido los autores, contemporáneos al complutense y posteriores, que han contribuido a magnificar la mayor empresa bélica del siglo XVII y, con ello el carácter heroico de los españoles que en ella batallaron. No obstante, hay textos en los que, contrariamente, este aspecto memorable se vio empañado por el surgimiento de obras que ofrecen una visión muy distante de la asumida como oficial. Este es el caso de La Austríada, un texto de carácter cronístico en que se ofrece un retrato de los ejércitos españoles en el escenario lepantino formado por soldados no profesionales, entre los que la delincuencia y la piratería eran las actitudes más frecuentes.
¿JAQUE MATE? EL JUEGO GEOPOLÍTICO EN EL SUDESTE DE LA CRISTIANDAD DESPUÉS DE LA BATALLA DE LEPANTO
Authors:   Universidad de Varsovia, URJASZ Matylda
Published: February 2024

La batalla de Lepanto ha sido estudiada y discutida principalmente por los académicos en relación con las monarquías directamente relacionadas con el Mar Mediterráneo. Las regiones alejadas suelen estar lejos de su interés en respecto al tema. Mientras tanto, la visión del mundo de Felipe II de Habsburgo sobre la cuestión turca era mucho más amplia, por no decir que estaba fuera de todo límite. Uno de los efectos de la victoria de Lepanto fue su participación en actividades diplomáticas dentro de la República Polaco-Lituana. Especialmente desde el año 1572, cuando el trono del estado polaco-lituano se convirtió en electoral, la oportunidad fue de gran importancia. La rivalidad entre la Monarquía Hispánica, Francia, pero también el Imperio Otomano y el Papado se trasladó a un nuevo teatro geopolítico en Oriente. La autopercepción de Felipe II después de Lepanto y su política anti turca no llegó a la nobleza del estado polaco-lituano. El monarca español no sabía o no entendía la situación geopolítica del estado polaco-lituano. Como resultado, el Habsburgo español sufrió una amarga derrota, pero siguió manteniendo su presencia en este nuevo espacio geopolítico.

Activity of a Public Company in the Stock Market: Sensitivity Analysis of Its Key Indicators in the Context of a Neutral Approach to the Implementation of Dividend Policy
Authors: Krylov Sergey
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of the conceptual foundations for analyzing the sensitivity of key indicators of the activity of a public company in the stock market (market activity) to the main determining factors in the context of a neutral approach to the implementation of its dividend policy. The methodological basis of the study was the concept of a neutral approach to the dividend policy of a public company and the concept of sensitivity analysis, developed earlier by the author of this article. An analysis of the sensitivity of key indicators to the main determining factors in the context of a neutral approach to the implementation of the dividend policy of a public company involves the construction of appropriate elasticity models that allow determining the change in key indicators of market activity depending on changes in the factors that determine them. The constructed elasticity models of the key indicators of market activity listed above can be used in predictive and analytical assessments of their changes.

Authors: Harizaj Alfons , Idrizi Olgerta , Harizaj Miranda
Published: February 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the factors contributing to a significant productivity gap among children born in Albania. Some international reports show that a child born in Albania will achieve only about 63% of his potential productivity in his lifetime. The child will lose about 37% of the productivity they could have if they could live a healthy life and benefit from high-quality and relevant education that would equip them with the skills that will be needed in the work environment. Additionally, high unemployment rates, low skills, and socio-economic disparities further add the challenges faced by Albanian youth. This paper calls for a multi-dimensional approach, emphasizing healthcare, education reform, and socio-economic support, to unlock the untapped potential of Albania’s young generation.
Using Stocks and Flows Diagrams to Understand Business Process Behavior
Authors: Itälä Timo , Helenius Mika
Published: February 2024

Business Process Modeling has traditionally focused on the activities and logic of how work is carried out. This is depicted through modeling notations like BPMN, which illustrate the sequence of activities, performers, and possible paths for each process instance. However, when measuring the performance of an organization and its processes, the aggregation of results from individual instances is often necessary. Unfortunately, these flows are not always smooth, as they may encounter variations, delays, accumulations, and other issues that can hinder expected performance levels. Therefore, understanding the behavior of business processes over time is crucial for improvement efforts. This paper demonstrates the use of stocks and flows diagrams for modeling business processes and simulating their behavior over time. Simulations aid in identifying critical points, removing bottlenecks, and enhancing overall process performance. We begin with a brief introduction to modeling business processes using stocks and flows diagrams, followed by a real-life case study in the healthcare sector, where stocks and flows models and simulations were employed to identify and resolve a problem.

The catfish is a freshwater cultivated fish that can be found all over Indonesia. However, the problems that occur in general are usually attacks by pathogens from the Aeromonas sp group. This research aims to optimize the rapid detection of the Aeromonas sp group using PCR at the Aquaculture Technology Development Center, Cangkringan, Sleman, special region of Yogyakarta. The research was conducted by survey with purposive sampling. Isolation was carried out using two growth media, namely Tryptone Soy Agar (TSA) and Glutamate Starch Phenile (GSP). Colonies that had characteristics of the Aeromonas sp group were subjected to PCR amplification using specific primers for the Aeromonas sp group. The results of the amplification resulted in DNA that matched the target, namely 953bp, which showed that the sample belonged to the Aeromonas sp group. Based on this technique, the level of accuracy in detecting pathogens is higher than conventional methods.

Published: February 2024

Narcis Narcisism gained attention and discussion in recent years. This was caused by the rise of social media facilitating self-promotion and self-expression on a massive scale so that narcissistic behaviours can be seen more and more obvious. It could become a problem when they were excessive, inflexible, and maladaptive, leading to harm or distress to individuals or those around them. These extreme traits can be classified as Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). This study aimed to describe the narcissistic's trait of Elizabeth Halsey in Bad Teacher Movie. Elizabeth Halsey worked as a teacher who should demonstrate empathy by understanding her students' perspectives, needs, and emotions, how she can creates a safe and supportive learning environment where students feel valued and heard but her character as a teacher showed narcissistic  traits that are the opposite of what a teacher should have. This research used a psychoanalysis approach. The method of this research was qualitative method. In collecting the data, the researchers watched the movie, marking  and classifying in what kinds of types of traits that the Elizabeth Halsey had. In analyzing the data, the researchers used descriptive method firstly by identifying all the statements that describe the types of the traits faced by Elizabeth Halsey, and then analyzed the data based on the finding. The results of this study found that there were four of nine traits of narcissistic in Elizabeth Halsey's Character. The first is entitlement trait, she only thought about herself, she did not have any shame on herself, she still asked money from her ex fiance. The second was exploitative traits, in this case, Elizabeth Halsey took advantage on many people, she would do everything without thinking's other feelings and opinion. The third was lack of empathy, she did not showed any empathy for her students who got bullied in front of her, and the last was envy trait, she did  not accept the reality that the wealthy man fell in love with her enemy at school, she arranged everything to make her enemy kicked out from school.

The Use of Long-Arm Serial Casting to Manage Multiple Sclerosis Spasticity: A Case Report
Authors: Hampton Christine
Published: February 2024

Spasticity is common among individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) and can have negative implications. Casting is a treatment intervention that is used to manage spasticity. The use of casting has been studied in individuals with brain injury and stroke, but no publications were found for its use in persons with MS. An individual with MS with upper extremity spasticity participated in long-arm serial casting, bivalve cast fabrication, and additional targeted therapeutic interventions over the course of 17 visits. Spasticity, pain, strength, passive range of motion (PROM), skin, and function were assessed. Spasticity and PROM improved. Increased strength was found in shoulder flexion, elbow flexion/extension, and supination. Active range of motion with resistance was possible and pain-free after the intervention for abduction, horizontal abduction, horizontal adduction, and external rotation. Furthermore, increased functional use including feeding, dressing, and bathing was achieved.
AZIN1-centric dynamic network biomarker of tipping point in non-small cell lung cancer metastasis

Published: February 2024

Detection of the tipping point of metastasis of non-small cell lung carcinoma is crucial so that it does not lead to irreversible damage. In contrast to the single biomarker approach, identification of dynamic network biomarkers (DNB) which represent the dynamic change in the expression during disease progression is being increasingly used to study of tipping point in different cancers. In our study, stage-wise gene expression data from a lung cancer database with in silico dynamic network method revealed AZIN1 centric network of seven dynamically interacting genes (AZIN1, PGAM1, CNOT9, HMGCR, EIF3H, DNTTIP1, and ST7). These are involved in purine ribonucleoside monophosphate and purine ribonucleoside triphosphate metabolic pathways. Drastic changes in their gene expressions were observed at 2A and 2B transition stage indicating it to be a tipping point for metastasis. Further, in vitro gene expression studies in NCI-460 cells confirmed the interaction of networking genes. Silencing AZIN1 expression diminished DNTTIP1 and PGAM1 expression almost completely while significantly affecting other genes; further confirming a novel interaction of these genes in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Therefore, AZIN1 centric network of seven genes could serve as an important predictive DNB for the tipping point before NSCLC metastasis.
Effects of blood meal source and seasonality on reproductive traits of Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae)
Authors: Rucci Kevin Alen , Pueta Mariana , Díaz Adrián
Published: February 2024

Host selection by mosquitoes is a keystone to understanding viral circulation and predicting future infection outbreaks.
Culex
mosquitoes frequently feed on birds during spring and early summer, shifting into mammals towards late summer and autumn. This host switch may be due to changes in mosquito fitness. The aim of this study was to assess if the interaction effect of blood meal source and seasonality may influence reproductive traits of
Culex quinquefasciatus
mosquitoes. For this purpose,
Cx. quinquefasciatus
mosquitoes were reared in simulated summer and autumn conditions and fed on two different hosts, chickens and mice, in a factorial design. Fecundity, fertility, and hatchability during two consecutive gonotrophic cycles were estimated. We found greater fecundity and fertility for mosquitoes fed upon birds than mammals. Fecundity and fertility increased in autumn for chicken-fed mosquitoes, whereas they decreased for mouse-fed mosquitoes. These traits decreased in the second gonotrophic cycle for mouse-fed mosquitoes, whereas they did not vary between cycles for chicken-fed mosquitoes. The effect of hatchability on fertility was rather limited. These results indicate a statistically significant interaction effect of blood meal source and seasonality on fecundity and fertility. However, the pattern was opposite in relation to our hypothesis, suggesting that further studies are needed to confirm and expand our knowledge about mosquito biology and its relationship with seasonal host use shifting.
