Authors: Allahham Mahmoud , Ahmad Ahmad Yahiya Bani
Published: October 2023

This research aims to explore the impact of AI-induced anxiety on the adoption of mobile payment services in supply chain firms, viewed through the lens of Mental Accounting Theory. In an era driven by technological advancement, supply chain companies' use of mobile payment services has arisen as a crucial problem. This study is the first to investigate the complicated links between AI-induced anxiety, perceived utility, and the adoption rate of mobile payment systems using the Mental Accounting Theory as a theoretical framework. The study employs a quantitative research approach, using Smart PLS for regression analysis, and gathers its data from major supply chain business players. Our analysis offered important insights into the many aspects influencing the adoption of mobile payment services in supply chain companies. The acceptance rate was shown to be adversely connected with AI-induced anxiety and integration expenses, posing obstacles for businesses seeking to embrace mobile payment systems. In contrast, characteristics such as perceived utility, usability, confidence in security, and backing from upper management were positively connected with adoption rates. These findings provide not only theoretical contributions to the current research, but also concrete advice for supply chain practitioners seeking to exploit mobile payment systems for operational and strategic advantage.

Published: October 2023

The security and integrity of computer systems and networks highly depend on malware detection. In the realm of malware detection, the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm is a well-liked and successful machine learning algorithm. However, the choice of an acceptable distance metric parameter has a significant impact on the KNN algorithm's performance. This study tries to improve malware detection by adjusting the KNN algorithm's distance metric parameter. The distance metric greatly influences the similarity or dissimilarity between instances in the feature space. The KNN algorithm for malware detection can be more accurate and effective by carefully choosing or modifying the distance metric. This paper analyzes multiple distance metrics, including Minkowski distance, Manhattan distance, and Euclidean distance. These metrics account for the traits of malware samples while capturing various aspects of similarity. The effectiveness of the KNN algorithm is evaluated using the MalMem-2022 malware dataset, and the results are broken down into these three-distance metrics. The experimental findings show that, among the three distance metric parameters, the Euclidean and Minkowski distance metric parameters considerably produced the best outcomes with binary classification. While with multiclass classification, the KNN algorithm has achieved the highest outcomes using Manhattan distance.

Published: October 2023

With the digitization of historical databases and endowments, care must be taken when designing the framework for an information system on the web. Because conflicts arise frequently in reality, different data management requirements are necessary for the preservation of waqf property. For the purpose of creating and putting into place historical information systems and endowments for this inheritance, it is necessary to develop an acceptable management plan. An inheritance that is thought to be distinct from customary ones since it is governed by its own law is referred to as waqf, as an example. They typically comprise histories and endowments that need to be protected to ensure sustenance among the population and to ensure they live up to the standards of the community and country. This research was compiled and analyzed to support stakeholders in producing a more practical, focused, and value-delivery framework. The datasets were mapped based on relationships, graph databases, and semantic networks. Moreover, the framework was developed using several data representation models to ensure easier, faster, and more accurate methods of displaying the data. Relationships, graph databases, and semantic networks were used to map the datasets. The design was made available to users, administrators, and managers, with the latter group being in charge of maintaining data control over each entity. The case study was conducted using historical information and waqf from the Nadzir Pangeran Sumedang Indonesia Waqf Foundation (YNWPS) in the Kingdom of Sumedang Larang Indonesia (KSL).` The creation of a web-based information system to keep track of the data in each entity and ensure better preservation of historical genealogical databases and endowments was made simpler by the structured framework design.

Authors:   Alisher Navoi' Tashkent state university of Uzbek language and literature, Ashirboyev Samixon
Published: October 2023

In traditional Uzbek linguistics, in later period, the number of cases of considering subordinate clauses as complex sentences increased. From this point of view caused various discussions. At that time, such sentences were considered as simple sentences in the transformation of a compound sentence; in this article, using the example of the prose works of Alisher Navai, such sentences are considered from the point of view and analyzed on the basis of existing theoretical ideas. In the article, such sentences are treated as the simple sentences in a compound transformation, the scientific views expressed in relation to them are described, their interpretations in Russian linguistics and Uzbek linguistics, the term simple sentence with a connected participle in literature of the later period is analyzed, and the existing erroneous approaches are eliminated by reasonable argumentation. The term transform was applied to such a syntactic unit that did not reach the level of a subordinate clause, and their features were based on similar and different features from sentences with a subordinate clause. Mutual syntactic relations of transformations and the auxiliary words used in their connection with function of linking words and connection are presented, as well as the syntactic and semantic features of these transformations are highlighted.

Authors:   National Center of Archaeology., Boboyorov G‘aybulla
Published: October 2023

In this article it is discussed how to read several Old Turkic words mentioned in the work by Mahmud Kāshgarī, who lived in the 11th century, “Dīwān Luγāt at-Turk” (Dictionary of Turkic Languages, briefly – Dīwān). The Dīwān has been translated into Turkish, Uzbek, English, Kazakh, Russian, Uighur, Persian, Kyrgyz languages. And in a large part of them it is noticeable that some words were misread or wrong statements were made. This situation is especially prevalent in the Uzbek, Kazakh, and Uighur versions of the Dīwān. At the basis of such erroneous statements lies the drop of a dot or the displacement of some words in the Dīwān’s manuscript.

Star Polymer for Filtration Control in Water-based Fluids
Authors: Santra Ashok , Ross Georgesha , Mbuncha Christelle Yimgnia
Published: October 2023

In high-performance water-based drilling fluids, filtration control is a closely monitored mud characteristic. Several problems have been found that are linked to excessive invasion of aqueous filtrate into a permeable formation. A high filtrate loss often causes thick filter cake formation that lead to tight spots in the hole. Elevated temperatures and fluid loss in deep holes can cause situations such as differential sticking of pipes. At the same time, loss of filtration control catastrophically affects the rheology of the water-based fluid via excessive thickening. Seepage of the filtrate into sensitive shale formations may lead to swelling, sloughing or even cave-in. Filtrate invasion into a production zone can lead to a condition known as water blocking, where the reservoir pressure is not strong enough to drive the aqueous filtrate out of the pores, leading to drastic reduction of oil and gas flow. In this contribution, we explore the synthesis of a novel star block copolymer fluid loss control additive using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using arm-first approach. The star polymer developed in this work is able to provide superior filtration control performance (3 to 6 times better performance) over commercial additives. In addition, the thermal and mechanical stability of this novel material afforded direct incorporation into drilling mud formulations commonly used in the middle east drilling operations, which led to excellent fluid loss control both at room temperature and high temperature, high pressure conditions with thin filter cakes.

Del's Growth: A Typical Example of Construction of Female Self-consciousness—A Postmodern Feminist Analysis of Lives of Girls and Women
Authors: Qu Jiaqi
Published: October 2023

Alice Munro is a famous contemporary Canadian women writer and the winner of 2013 Nobel Prize in literature. She is known as the ""master of contemporary short stories"". Munro is very concerned about the life experience of ordinary women. She always focuses on the daily trifles and details of ordinary women and describes their journey from a girl to a wife in detail, especially focusing on the psychological fluctuations and twists and turns of women. They seem fragile, but they are persistent. Munro's works are full of postmodern feminism, focusing on women's self-awareness and subjective conscious construction.

From the perspective of postmodern feminism, the thesis focuses on the gradual formation and evolution of the heroine's self-consciousness in Alice Munro's only ""full-length"" novel Lives of Girls and Women in the process of growing up from a girl to a woman, and how female images to jump out of the hierarchy, logical structure and linear narrative surrounded by men's words and begin to express own world.

The introduction gives an overview of Alice Munro and the novel Lives of Girls and Women, literary reviews at home and abroad, some key elements in postmodern feminism, and the significance of this thesis.

The body section consists of three chapters: Chapter One focuses on ""Del observes the adult life"". Through Del's observation, the life of Uncle Benny's wife, two aunts, her mother and the teacher unfolded. Chapter Two analyzes ""Self-consciousness of Del begins to construct"". Del gradually began to grow up. The awakening of sexual consciousness, the doubt of belief and the excavation of herself have gradually become the theme of this adolescent girl's life. Chapter Three revolves around ""Establishment and Perfection of her self-consciousness"". Finally, she got rid of her fantasy and self-deception, her past mistakes and perplexity, and left home to start her real life.

The conclusion part summarizes that from the perspective of postmodern feminism, the self-growth and consciousness awakening of Del is how women break away from the role of ""good women"" who meet the social expectations and find their own real nature. Munro challenges the forces we take for granted and shakes the foundations of our lives. Women perceive the world in a way different from men and resist the grandeur of history with daily trivialities. Munro constructs women's value expresses her voice and embodies her choice of will by transcending feminism and returning to women's ontological experience.
Marx's Idea of "Leapfrogging" and the Reality of Socialist Practice
Authors: Xie Jiali
Published: October 2023

In his later years, the focus of Marx's research shifted to the more backward countries of the East. Did the backward countries have to follow in the footsteps of the Western capitalist countries in order to embark on the road of modernisation and development? Through the study of the current situation of the Russian society, Marx put forward the idea of "crossing the Caudine forks" that the backward Eastern countries could skip the capitalist stage and enter the socialist stage of development directly, which is a theory that can be applied to all economically backward countries to shorten the process of development to socialism. Correct theories can guide the progress of practice, and Marx's idea of "crossing the Krafting Gorge" has left a practical challenge for the socialist countries in the East. For a special socialist country like China, how to make a smooth transition from an agrarian country to a socialist country, the Chinese leadership gave an answer - the primary stage of socialism. With the continuous development of the level of productive forces, China crossed the long "primitive accumulation" stage of capitalism in a peaceful and correct way' in just a few decades. As socialism with Chinese characteristics continues to grow and develop, China has demonstrated to the world in practice the superiority of the socialist system, and has shown its confidence in the system that modernisation is not the same as westernisation.

Critical Junctures or Slow-Moving Processes? The Effects of Political and Economic Transformations on the Mexican Public Sector.
Authors: Cejudo Guillermo
Published: October 2023

Este texto ofrece una visión distinta de las explicaciones usuales del cambio en la gestión pública en México, las cuales se basan en el análisis de decisiones “trascendentales” y explicaciones de corto plazo. Contrario a ello, hay un esfuerzo explícito por explicar los cambios en el sector público en función de procesos de largo plazo en la economía política. En concreto, muestro cómo diferentes procesos de cambio han tenido lugar en el sector público mexicano en forma de adaptaciones graduales a los procesos de liberalización económica y de democratización, con episodios específicos de reforma. La hipótesis central es que los cambios en el tamaño y el alcance económico del sector público se explican por cambios en la estrategia económica del gobierno, en tanto que los cambios en la estructura y la selección de políticas de gestión pública se explican por el proceso de democratización política. El objetivo general de esta investigación es mejorar nuestra comprensión de la dinámica del cambio institucional en las estructuras gubernamentales, al enfatizar la distinción entre reformas deliberadas y cambio incremental, y al ligar ambos procesos a transformaciones de mayor alcance en las esferas política y económica.

La Gran Oportunidad: Fin de la Psiquis del Liderazgo en el Surgimiento de la Psiquis de la Gerencia Co-Inspirativa.
Authors: Maturana Humberto , Dávila Ximena
Published: October 2023

Este ensayo propone el reemplazo del liderazgo como forma de gestionar las organizaciones por la gerencia co-inspirativa. Los autores afirman que actualmente vivimos en una era post-post moderna, cuya principal característica es que los seres humanos sabemos lo que sabemos que sabemos y entendemos lo que entendemos que entendemos. Esta situación nos lleva a una acción-reflexión ética en la que los seres humanos no pueden escapar de la conciencia y responsabilidad de sus conductas. En este contexto, formas de relaciones humanas como el liderazgo pierden sentido. Así, surge el concepto de gerencia coinspirativa, que permite a las personas ser participes activos y creativos de las conversaciones de generación y realización de proyectos comunes y puedan participar en la consecución del bien-estar.

Así, a pesar de que, en su conjunto, los países han ido avanzando posiciones, todavía es posible observar cierto rezago con respecto a otras zonas geográficas. Esta realidad no es consecuencia de inactividad en la región por lo que respecta a la puesta en marcha de proyectos de estas características. Numerosas iniciativas han sido llevadas a cabo pero sólo algunas de ellas pueden ser calificadas como importantes logros. ¿Qué está condicionando, entonces, la implantación exitosa de las iniciativas de gobierno electrónico en la región? Este artículo tiene como objetivo explorar y plantear algunas hipótesis sobre esta cuestión.

Amenazas exógenas y vulnerabilidades endógenas Terremotos, crisis internacionales y desarrollo en Chile 1930-2010
Authors: Landerretche Gacitúa Oscar
Published: October 2023

Los eventos potencialmente catastróficos de origen natural (como los grandes sismos que afectan al territorio de Chile cada cierto tiempo) tienen en común con las crisis económicas internacionales, su carácter exógeno, desde el punto de vista de una economía abierta y pequeña. En ambos casos, la vulnerabilidad del sistema económico y social está determinada, en gran medida, por la magnitud de los esfuerzos de prevención y de preparación para las emergencias. Estas actividades alcanzan altos niveles de preocupación y apoyo públicos, inmediatamente después de un gran evento, pero pueden tender a debilitarse a medida que el evento se aleja en el tiempo. En el caso de Chile se ratifica la hipótesis de que la recurrencia de eventos potencialmente causantes de grandes desastres, puede tender a fortalecer la prevención y preparación, reduciendo la vulnerabilidad del sistema en su conjunto. Sin embargo, esta vulnerabilidad puede ser muy variada cuando se presenta un grado muy considerable de heterogeneidad estructural.
La relación entre gobierno y organizaciones civiles: un examen crítico en tres estados mexicanos
Authors: Villarreal Martínez María Teresa
Published: October 2023

En este trabajo se analizan los mecanismos institucionales de relación entre el gobierno y las organizaciones civiles en tres estados mexicanos: Jalisco, Michoacán y Nuevo León. Utilizando como parámetros de análisis los niveles de inclusión/exclusión, la transparencia y la oportunidad de incidencia, se busca determinar como el uso de dichos mecanismos contribuye a la democratización de las políticas pública. Se concluye que, al no existir un marco legal oportuno, el diseño y ejecución de los programas de atención y apoyo a grupos civiles está sujeto a la discrecionalidad del gobierno en turno y su particular forma de definir la participación ciudadana.

Risk Management theory: the integrated perspective and its application in the public sector
Authors: Cienfuegos Spikin Ignacio
Published: October 2023

This article aims to discuss in a normative way, the foundations of the theory of risk management, showing its evolution and reviewing the main best practices. As consequence, after a quick description of the current environment into which public and private organizations currently struggle, we proceed to develop a clear definition of risk. We introduce then, the fundamental aspects of risk management and the practices prescribe in the literature. Moreover, we describe the fundamental elements that have marked the transition from the "silo" approach or compartmental perspective of risk management, to the integrated risk management approach. At the end of the article, we discuss the application of risk management in the public sector, describing its difference from private risk management.
¿Nuevo federalismo? Caso del sector salud en México
Authors: Rabell García Enrique
Published: October 2023

La descentralización ha sido una de las políticas públicas de mayor peso para crear un nuevo federalismo en México. El estudio organizacional del sector salud en el estado de Querétaro permite apreciar los efectos de esta política. En particular, este proceso obligó a los estados a la creación de un organismo paraestatal para recibir las nuevas competencias. Por tanto, la hipótesis consiste en que dicha obligación ha creado incentivos negativos. Al efecto se realiza un estudio multidisciplinario mediante análisis jurídico, organizacional y administrativo. Los resultados demuestran resultados mixtos, ya que la creación de la nueva entidad ha introducido flexibilidad, pero al tener a los mismos funcionarios en dos dependencias diferentes ha creado problemas de mando, jerarquía y competencias.
CONSIDERACIONES SOBRE LOS POSIBLES EFECTOS DE LA DESCENTRALIZACIÓN EN LA ADMINISTRACIÓN DEL SERVICIO PÚBLICO: EL CASO DE LAS REGIONES AUTÓNOMAS EN PUERTO RICO
Authors: Cordero Nieves Yolanda
Published: October 2023

La descentralización ha sido una de las acciones reformadoras más utilizadas por los gobiernos democráticos durante las últimas dos décadas. La transferencia de recursos humanos a los niveles subnacionales como parte de una descentralización, no se consideran como los propósitos principales de una reforma, sino que constituyen un efecto secundario de la descentralización. El presente artículo discute los desafíos en términos teóricos que se aplica al caso de Puerto Rico, donde se evidencia la viabilidad de iniciar un proceso de descentralización de responsabilidades

del gobierno central hacia un nivel intermedio entre éste y los gobiernos municipales. La existencia de un sistema nacional de mérito se reflejan en dos realidades diferentes: el servicio público del nivel central y el servicio público del nivel municipal. Finalmente, se busca precisar los asuntos que deben ser atendidos por los representantes de los distintos sectores del

gobierno y los sindicatos.
