PENGARUH LINGKUNGAN KERJA TERHADAP KINERJA KARYAWAN PADA PT HPA TANJUNGPINANG
Authors: Armansyah Armansyah
Published: May 2024

Penelitian ini mengarahkan perhatian pada dinamika lingkungan kerja dan dampaknya terhadap kinerja karyawan di PT HPA Tanjungpinang. Melalui pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif, penelitian ini memperkuat pemahaman tentang hubungan antara lingkungan kerja dan produktivitas karyawan. Dari populasi 109 orang, 100 karyawan dipilih sebagai sampel, memungkinkan analisis yang representatif terhadap karyawan perusahaan tersebut. Hasil penelitian menarik perhatian karena meskipun ada bukti adanya pengaruh lingkungan kerja terhadap kinerja karyawan, signifikansi statistiknya menjadi subjek perdebatan. Dengan nilai t hitung yang lebih rendah dari nilai t tabel pada tingkat signifikansi 5%, disimpulkan bahwa pengaruh tersebut tidak signifikan secara statistik. Meskipun demikian, koefisien determinasi yang relatif rendah, hanya 18,8%, menunjukkan bahwa lingkungan kerja memiliki dampak kecil terhadap kinerja karyawan. Interpretasi temuan ini menyoroti pentingnya memperhatikan faktor-faktor lain yang mungkin memengaruhi kinerja karyawan, di luar lingkungan kerja. Ini bisa mencakup variabel-variabel seperti motivasi intrinsik, keahlian teknis, struktur organisasi, atau dukungan manajemen. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini tidak hanya memberikan wawasan tentang peran lingkungan kerja dalam kinerja karyawan, tetapi juga menekankan kompleksitas faktor-faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap produktivitas di tempat kerja. Dengan demikian, implikasi temuan ini mengarah pada perlunya pendekatan holistik dalam meningkatkan kinerja karyawan, dengan memperhitungkan berbagai faktor yang memengaruhinya.

Published: May 2024

Employee innovative behaviour is widely emphasized as a critical driver of organizational innovation. Drawing on social information processing theory, this research proposes that by exhibiting servant leadership style, organizational managers can stimulate employee innovative behaviour directly and through the mechanism of support for innovation. This study also anticipates that the role of of employees’ creative self-efficacy in strengthening the influence of support for innovation on innovative behaviour. To test the proposed relationships, data is collected from 338 IT professionals working in twelve large-sized IT-based service organizations of Pakistan. The results surfaced from PLS-SEM analysis indicate strong support for direct and positive linkage between servant leadership and innovative behaviour and significant role of support for innovation in mediating this relationship. However, the accentuating role of creative self-effecacy is not supported. This study extends existing knowledge concerning the nexus between servant leadership and innovation by examining the mechanism of support for innivation by which servant leadership can augment employee innovative behaviour. Findings of this research entails vital implications for service organizations striving for superior innovation performance. Furthermore, some contradictory findings of this research call for further empirical investigation for more finegrained managerial implications.

Authors:   Department of Transport and Supply Chain Management, University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa, Mageto Joash , Luke Rose ,   Department of Transport and Supply Chain Management, University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa
Published: May 2024

Movement of freight globally is complex due to the vast distances between countries, the in-transit perils, high costs, and challenges in meeting customer delivery timelines. Freight logistics within Africa is even more complex given the limited logistics infrastructure, varied regulations between countries, poor security and the high cost of transport. The purpose of this paper is to explore the status of academic literature on freight logistics in Africa and examine the potential of advanced information technologies in enhancing the logistics sector. The paper utilised the scoping literature review technique to select relevant documents. The freight logistics sector in Africa can be termed as struggling, it is among the least efficient globally. The lack of valid data on the various logistics components makes it difficult for stakeholders to plan for efficiency and effectiveness. The need for country specific technologies to address its unique challenges is emphasized. The smooth flow of goods across countries can only be achieved through collaboration among countries and investments in logistics infrastructure as well as technology. The study underscores the need for data-driven decision-making, context-specific technologies, and collaboration to improve Africa's freight logistics. The current study has explored the freight logistics literature focusing on Africa, not only to unearth the challenges, but also propose likely solutions. While the current study is limited to published literature, further research should empirically explore impactful technologies, compare countries' situations, and involve policymakers for comprehensive solutions.
On some confirmations in genomic entrepreneurship

Published: May 2024

Entrepreneurship is an intricate phenotype. Are entrepreneurs born or made or developed or adopted? What makes an entrepreneur think outside the box and pursuing avant-garde paths to attain entrepreneurial goals? Alvin Toffler mentioned of various ‘Waves’ viz. Agrarian, Industrial and so on. Economics and Business Management, today, is experiencing inestimable waves viz. Heterodox Wave, Genetic Wave, Molecular Wave, Cellular Wave, Hereditary Wave, [‘Infoplosion’ or ‘Info-Tectonics’ Wave, Capability Approach Wave, Institutional Wave, Behavioral / Experimental Wave [Cognitive and Emotional dimensions / Develops and uses experiments typically with human subjects], Evolutionary Wave, Cognitive Wave, Information Wave , Artificial [Synthetic and / or Fabricated] Intelligence Wave and Neuro Wave, to list a few, from a rational perspective. Of central interest in this paper is Managerial Business - Economics Wave. It deals with, with complex, deep-rooted problems, gears and technique to dissect market demand, assess expenses, establish pricing strategies, assess risks, and appreciate competitive dynamics. Is entrepreneurship a genetic trait? Of recent origin is emergence of incorporating genetic and biological markers into entrepreneurship. Issue that confronts is; is there a need to sync molecular genetics and entrepreneurial business data to genomic entrepreneurship; under umbrella of ‘Genoeconomics’? Does this mean that entrepreneurship is in genes? Do genes determine entrepreneurial success? Can genetics or molecular genetics and entrepreneurial data predict response to multifarious behavioral intercession? Can genetics calculate retort to intricate behavioral interference? Are genetic markers of interest for entrepreneurship research? What challenges occur when analyzing genetically informative facts? How, if at all, should entrepreneurs use and combine molecular genetics and business data? What challenges arise when analyzing genetically informative data? The moot issue is; can entrepreneurship be genetic? Can an entrepreneur be ‘genetically-inclined’? One debatable question is; why do entrepreneurial parents have entrepreneurial children? What kinds of opportunities will genetic mapping of entrepreneur offer business entities? Do the big Five Personality Traits [Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agree-Ableness and Neuroticism] play a role? Do genetic factors influence tendency to acquire skills and develop attributes relevant to entrepreneurship? Is it crucial to emphasize that a genetic predisposition to entrepreneurship should definitely, unequivocally, not be confounded with genetic determinism? This paper aims to seek a conceptualistic conformation to the above issues

Artificial. La nueva inteligencia y el contorno de lo humano
Authors: Dellepiane Paola
Published: May 2024

El libro Artificial aborda fundamentalmente el concepto de inteligencia humana, partiendo de la definición de Inteligencia como todo aquello que no hacen las máquinas. La IA es la primera máquina que sale de lo rutinario y ocupa el lugar de las grandes ideas. Y en este sentido, el primer capítulo, titulado la Génesis de la Inteligencia, trae el juego del ajedrez como el mejor ejemplo de uso de la IA. Éste fue el primer paso en emular la inteligencia humana cuando Turing se preguntó, “¿cómo se diseña un programa capaz de analizar una posición de ajedrez y con criterio para tomar buenas decisiones?” AlphaGo, y AlphaZero después, pudieron responder a la pregunta. 
La IA indefectiblemente está relacionada con lo humano, y constituye así, el eje vertebrador de esta obra.  En palabras de sus autores, “la inteligencia artificial, como la humana, construye también su propia cultura”. 
A lo largo de los 2 primeros capítulos, los autores presentan el recorrido en la evolución de la IA desde el año 1938, hasta la aparición en la segunda década de este siglo de los modelos LLM (Large Language Models), es decir, grandes modelos de lenguaje, basados en transformers, entrenados con grandes volúmenes de datos. Los restantes capítulos presentan las posibilidades que emergen a partir de la IA alternando los cambios cuantitativos y cualitativos en lo que respecta a los ámbitos educativo, laboral, ético e intelectual.
El elusivo registro zooarqueológico de Somuncurá. Un análisis de su distribución y variabilidad
Authors: Terranova Enrique , Miotti Laura , Marchionni Laura , Vargas Jorgelina
Published: May 2024

When we began studies on the Somuncurá plateau our expectations of finding abundant zooarchaeological material were great, because we would be working in the collective hunting fields reported by 19th century chroniclers. However, and although we obtained numerous archaeological results, the archaeofaunal record is scarce compared to the abundance of lithic materials, art or stone structures. Thus, the goal of this work is to evaluate the current state of knowledge contributed by this line of evidence to the study of plateau hunter-gatherer societies. For this, we considered the spatial distribution of these items, their archaeological contexts, the faunal structure of each assemblage and the presence of modifications of the bone surfaces in order to evaluate the role played by the different agents (natural and cultural) in the formation of assemblages, their importance for the preservation of this very elusive record in Somuncurá, and, finally, to contribute some trends that allow discussing the use of resources and whether the two sectors of the plateau exhibit differences. The taphonomic results at site scale do not indicate integrity problems that would explain the low frequency of this type of records, and raise the need to explore this problem at larger spatial scales. The zooarchaeological trends suggest that during the late Holocene, guanacos would have been the main species used by the societies that inhabited Somuncurá and that by the mid-19th century, these societies began to use fauna of European origin as a complement, in addition to native fauna.

O ensino da linguagem escrita das crianças de cinco anos inseridas na reorganização do ensino fundamental
Authors: Daros Thuinie Medeiros Vilela , Daros Júnior Armando
Published: May 2024

Este artigo trata do processo de consolidação do Ensino Fundamental de nove anos na rede pública de ensino de Foz do Iguaçu, estado do Paraná, e põe em questão as peculiaridades da inserção das crianças com cinco anos de idade. A pesquisa teve como foco verificar os encaminhamentos pedagógicos acerca do ensino da linguagem escrita nas classes de primeiro ano das escolas públicas entre 2009 e 2010. Como resultado aponta-se para a prevalência dos métodos tradicionais nas atividades de ensino, embora os documentos orientadores oficiais tragam no seu bojo a necessidade de uma metodologia que supere a mera readequação da antiga divisão à nova. Os episódios analisados neste trabalho fizeram parte dos procedimentos metodológicos organizados em duas etapas inter-relacionadas: pesquisa de campo e revisão bibliográfica/documental ancorada nos pressupostos da Teoria histórico-cultural.

Published: May 2024

Essa pesquisa mostra que a política de ampliação do Ensino Fundamental para nove anos trouxe muitas discussões, acarretando mudanças nas instituições e nas práticas docentes. Para tanto, foram estabelecidas orientações legais pelo Ministério da Educação e resoluções pelo Conselho Nacional da Educação que apontam transformações necessárias aos professores, gestores e a todos os envolvidos no Ensino Fundamental. Além de mostrar as questões legais e alguns estudos em torno da ampliação do Ensino Fundamental, da alfabetização e das práticas lúdicas na infância, adentra-se nas concepções e práticas dos professores, realizando um estudo de caso com três professoras do primeiro ano que atuam em escolas públicas. Foram utilizados como instrumento de investigação entrevistas orais e relatos escritos das colaboradoras, fazendo uma posterior análise destes, a fim de perceber como as professoras refletem a ampliação do Ensino Fundamental e quais práticas que prevalecem em suas aulas. Foi possível verificar que, mesmo diante dos desafios, as preocupações com a infância, o brincar e a alfabetização, são projetadas para as práticas com o primeiro ano.

Published: May 2024

O consumo de energia para refrigeração residencial, comercial e de serviço tem demonstrado um crescimento em todo o mundo. Nesse sentido, a envoltória do edifício tem um papel importante na medida em que separa o ambiente interno do ambiente externo de uma edificação. Estudos relatam que as janelas contribuem significativamente para os ganhos e as perdas de calor pela envoltória. Portanto, as janelas têm um grande impacto não só sobre o consumo energético no ambiente construído, mas também na qualidade do conforto térmico. Desse modo, este trabalho tem como objetivo principal investigar o percentual de área de janela (área envidraçada) em edificações brasileiras durante o século XIX e XX. A primeira parte deste artigo aborda um breve histórico das janelas na arquitetura brasileira e um panorama geral da relação do consumo de energia e a utilização de janelas nas edificações. A segunda parte apresenta uma análise comparativa em edificações do século XIX e XX, a partir do parâmetro percentual de área de abertura na fachada total. As análises foram realizadas em duas edificações do século XIX, localizadas na cidade de Campinas, e em três edificações do século XX, localizadas nas cidades do Rio de Janeiro, Campinas e São Paulo. Para tanto, foram consultadas pesquisas publicadas, legislação e projetos arquitetônicos dos escritórios responsáveis. Conclui-se que, com o aumento das dimensões das aberturas durante o período estudado, foi-se tornando cada vez mais comum a utilização do vidro como elemento de fechamento. Observou-se que as edificações do século XX apresentaram um expressivo percentual de área de abertura (área envidraçada) na fachada total: índice de 99,56% (edificação São Paulo - 2000), 48,00% (edificação Campinas - 1956) e 66,00% (edificação Rio de Janeiro - 1936), em relação às edificações do século XIX, com 13,30% (edificação Campinas - 1806) e 21,30% (edificação Campinas - 1878). Assim, verificou-se uma expressiva mudança nas tipologias das edificações e um aumento considerável no percentual de área de janela nas fachadas no que diz respeito ao período analisado.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Área de janela. Fachadas envidraçadas. Janela.

Published: May 2024

Currently, large amounts of health information, mainly in the social media field, have led to an infodemic which, together with the vast misleading and inaccurate information that can be accessed, represents a substantial public health issue. Healthcare professionals can help to identify and even prevent the dissemination of such information, as well as to lead the struggle against it by denying it. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to propose a guide to be used for the detection of health misinformation focused on health professionals. The model is based on an in-depth analysis, focused on assessing the contextualization of the type of scientific document, the possibility of extrapolation of the information, the causality, as well as the quality of the scientific evidence given. Besides requesting an effort from healthcare professionals to prevent the spread of health disinformation, we believe it is essential to offer tools to easily detect it, whereby training in research methodology is the main tool for healthcare professionals in the fight against misinformation and its negative implications on people's health
Normal Supercharacter Theories Of The Dicyclic Groups
Authors: Saydi Hadiseh
Published: May 2024

The supercharacter theory was developed by P. Diaconis and I. M. Isaacs as a natural generalization of the classical ordinary character theory. There are different constructions for finding the supercharacter theories of a finite group. Supercharacter theories of many finite groups, such as cyclic groups, Frobenius groups, dihedral groups, elementary abelian $p$-groups, and Camina groups, etc. are studied with different constructions. One of the constructions uses normal subgroups. In this paper, we consider dicyclic groups and find some of their normal supercharacter theories and some automorphic supercharacter theories in special cases.

Published: May 2024

In order to deal with the threat of the randomness of large-scale electric vehicle (EV) loads to the safe and economic operation of the distribution network effectively, a forecasting method of EV loads based upon virtual prediction parameter estimation strategy is proposed. Firstly, an in-depth analysis is conducted to thoroughly examine the applicability and target audience of various existing power user load forecasting methods. This initial phase provided a solid foundation for the introduction of the new methods. Secondly, utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation method, a charging load forecasting approach that considers both spatial and temporal distribution is developed. This method effectively captures the diversity of EV charging behaviors by leveraging virtual parameter estimation, integrating insights from historical data into future load predictions, thereby enhancing forecasting accuracy. Finally, to validate the effectiveness of this groundbreaking approach, comprehensive testing was conducted on the MATLAB R2017a simulation platform. This verification phase not only serves to demonstrate the method’s accuracy, but also underscores its practicality and reliability in real-world applications.
From transverse flux machine to fractional slot concentrated winding permanent magnet synchronous machine
Authors: Lerch Tomasz
Published: May 2024

The article presents the results of research on transverse flux machine (TFM) modifications that led to the development of the cogging machine (PMCM) concept and its further evolutions. The transformation process of the cogging machine from a multi-segment to a single-segment modular design has resulted in a structure identical to the known and commonly used fractional slot concentrated winding permanent magnet synchronous machine (FSCW-PMSM). The paper describes the features gained and lost by the modified machine in various transformation stages. An original method for selecting the number of winding modules is also proposed, depending on the number of coils in a module and the pitch of the pole using a separating tooth between the modules.

The productivity of domestic animals and the safety of food products derived from them are jeopardised by mycotoxins in animal feed. To control them, feed additives are used, which limit the absorption of mycotoxins in the gastrointestinal tract of animals by binding to them. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a new in vitro model in experiments on the binding of mycotoxins from buffers and contaminated feed and to confirm the effect of a single sorbent or mixture in binding them.

Material and Methods

Nine mineral sorbents were tested for their efficiency binding eight mycotoxins. Two in vitro experiments were conducted to indicate the mycotoxin-binding capacity of sorbents, each specifying a buffer with one of two different pH levels reflecting gastrointestinal conditions (pH 3.5 and 7.0). The first investigated the sorbent with only the buffer and mycotoxin standards, while the second did so with the sorbent, buffer and feed naturally contaminated with mycotoxins (deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, and ochratoxin A).

Results

The sorption was significantly lower in the trial with feed. In the first experiment at gastric pH (pH 3.5), activated charcoal bound deoxynivalenol and sepiolite bound zearalenone at 70% and 96%, respectively, whereas in the second experiment with feed, the binding was only 3% and 6%.

Conclusion

The study underlines the challenge of finding a feed additive that would work comprehensively, binding all mycotoxins regulated by law.
Analysis of the influence of dies geometry on the process extrusion force and properties of the extrudate obtained in the process of cold extrusion of 7075 aluminum alloy by the KOBO method
Authors: Zwolak Marek , Śliwa Romana
Published: May 2024

The KOBO extrusion process is an unconventional method of extrusion based on the phenomenon of superplasticity as an effect of a special state caused by the oscillatory motion of the die at a certain angle a certain frequency. It significantly lowers the extrusion force and makes it possible to extrude lightweight metals and alloys (e.g. aluminum and magnesium alloys) in cold extrusion with high extrusion ratios compared to conventional hot extrusion.

This work studies the influence of the tool (die) geometry on process realization parameters and the properties of the extrudate. Experimental studies of cold KOBO extrusion were performed using dies with different face portion geometry. The obtained extrudate obtained from EN-AW 7075 aluminum billets was examined for mechanical properties and macro/microstructure, showing that, with adequate modifications to the tool face part geometry, it is possible to lower the extrusion force and obtain extrudate with desired properties.

The issues of “real estate management” (REM) and “real estate valuation” (REV) are very important from the perspective of the economic development of any country. This is because they refer to one of the most important factors of production, which is real estate. The article assumes that REV is all the processes that allow for valuation, while REM is all the processes that allow for the management and administration of real estate. Both of these processes were referred to the “real estate market cycle” (REMC) and the “real estate lifecycle” (REL). The article analyzed 365 articles published in the Journal of Real Estate Management and Valuation (REMV) (eISSN: 2300-5289). The article is a review paper and has been prepared as part of a summary of scientific research carried out between 2013 and 2022.

The assessment of income-producing properties - considered as the bulk of the existing assets - has rapidly increased. An efficient assessment of the market value of this kind of properties requires an adequate involvement of the main risk factors of the local real estate market for the determination of the capitalization rate for the income approach application. The aim of the work is to identify the most significant local real estate risk factors related to the market, the tenant and the context on the residential capitalization rate. The development of a regressive methodological approach applied to the residential sector of the city of Rome (Italy) is proposed. The obtained results show the susceptibility of the analyzed capitalization rate to the variation of the local real estate risk factors, in particular the per capita income and the variation of the rental values, by also considering the influences of the exogenous shocks and the expectation of the investors. The practical implications of the work consist in the possibility for evaluators to assess the likely changes in the capitalization rate in different residential contexts if variations occur in the most influential local risk factors identified by the proposed model.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the influence of chemical treatments and thermal annealing on the quality of graphene films grown on copper foils using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) with cyclohexane as the precursor and N2 as the carrier gas.
 
Method: Cu foils were subjected to physical and electropolishing with varying phosphoric acid concentrations (30-60%) and etching times (60, 90, 120 seconds), followed by thermal annealing at temperatures from 860-940 °C for 6 minutes and consistent graphene growth at 920 °C for 10 minutes. The study employed Raman spectroscopy and microscopy analyses to assess the impact of pretreatment processes, annealing temperature, and cyclohexane flow rates on graphene film quality.
 
Results and Discussion: Optimal conditions were identified at a 45% phosphoric acid concentration with a 90-second etching time, paired with an annealing temperature of 900 °C. This setup produced a high I2D/IG intensity ratio of 2.79, resulting in the formation of predominantly monolayer graphene films, while varying conditions led to multilayer graphene. Experimental observations also revealed that adjusting growth time and cyclohexane flow rates further enhanced the formation of monolayer graphene film.
 
Research Implications: The study demonstrated the critical role of precise chemical treatments and controlled thermal management in enhancing the quality of graphene films on treated copper foils. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing growth conditions and underscore the importance of tailored processes in graphene synthesis for potential applications in various fields.
The Integration of Community-Dwelling Non-Human Companion Animals in Research Programs
Authors: Medrano Madeline , Carver L.F.
Published: May 2024

Traditional purpose-bred laboratory animals used in clinical research and testing often do not represent human conditions, with efficacy results often not replicated in human clinical trials. Quality of life among laboratory animals is generally low given exposure to painful procedures, pathologies, and unnatural living conditions. This form of research also contributes to several detrimental environmental effects including pollution, climate change, and altered biodiversity.  A One Health solution to this issue involves replacing purpose-bred laboratory animals with companion animals in research given greater similarities to human genetic diversity, healthcare systems, and living environments. The integration of companion animals in this way can also mitigate the effects of research using purpose-bred laboratory animals on animals and the environment. Most published literature on the topic involves veterinary clinical trials evaluating the potential of companion animals as research models for future human applications. We propose a study to explore the perspectives of veterinarians and researchers within this field to better understand some of the strengths and challenges associated with utilizing companion animals in clinical research programs.

O biodigestor é uma tecnologia que viabilia o tratamento de resíduos provenientes da produção animal, agregando valor reduzindo custos na produção de biogás e biofertilizante. A adoção de novas tecnologias, sobretudo as sociais, pelos agricultores familiares dentro das suas propriedades é um importante objeto de estudo. O presente estudo parte da identificação das percepções que os agricultores familiares do Assentamento Itamarati-MS têm em adotar ou não a tecnologia social do biodigestor. Neste sentido, foi feita uma pesquisa a campo com aplicação de questionários junto a agricultores familiares. Dentre os resultados mais relevantes, pode-se apontar a percepção dos agricultores que adotaram foi em relação ao custo benefício do biodigestor, reduzindo a necessidade de aquisição exterrna de gás de cozinha, bem como produção de adubo orgânico. Para os agricultores que não adotaram, reside a percepção de que a aplicação do biodigestor representa custo elevado e parte desses agricultores não possuem recurso financeiro em caixa ou linha de crédito específica para adoção.
