Authors:   Institute for the Humanities Research – Affiliated Kabardian-Balkarian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Farizat H. Gulieva (Zanukoeva)
Published: January 2024

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of wonderful objects, found in the texts of magical and magical-heroic fairy-tales and the Nart epos of the Karachais and Balkarians. The main purpose of the work is to identify, systematize and describe the basic body of objective reali-ties, that have supernatural properties, to determine the specifics of their implementation in the works of the designated segments of Karachay-Balkarian folklore. Using a continuous sample strategy, the texts of magical and magical-heroic fairy-tales and Nart tales featuring references to wonderful objective realities were identified. This study also employed descriptive, axiological, structural, and comparative analysis methodologies. It has been established that the spectrum of wonderful objects in magical fairy-tales is significantly broader, and the hero’s contribution to triumph is more significant, than in Nart tales. The main methods of acquiring objective realities with supernatural qualities in the heroic epos are acquisition through force or cunning, abduction; in fairy-tale texts, cases of donation and inheritance are not uncommon. It is concluded, that the disclosure of the functional capabilities of certain wonderful objects, the features of their imple-mentation depend on the basic settings of the work, in which they are used: in the Nart epos these processes are subordinated to heroic pathos, and in fairy-tales – a focus on embodying the idea of the obligatory victory of good over evil. The presented research in the future will contribute to a further, more in-depth study of the poetics of Karachay-Balkarian magical fairy-tales and the Nart epos, the creation of more complete classification schemes of wonderful objects, and the collected information can serve as a basis for conducting comparative research with folklore material of other peoples.
HISTORICAL-CULTURAL AND MORAL-ETHICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF KARACHAY-BALKARIAN HISTORICAL-HEROIC SONGS
Authors:   Institute for the Humanities Research – Affiliated Kabardian-Balkarian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Zhauhar M. Lokyaeva
Published: January 2024

The article examines the historical-heroic songs of Karachais and Balkarians, which are closely connected at their core both with socio-historical events and with the glorification of the feat of a specific person (batyr, zhigit). They capture ethical-aesthetic ideas about heroism, show the national character and ideals of the people, and define historical, cultural, and moral significance. The compositional and conceptual component of historical-heroic songs emphasizes particular aspects such as the struggle, heroic acts, the death or victory of a hero, and the realistic portrayal of specific historical events, real heroic figures, and geographical locations. Analysis, conducted on the material of songs «Achemezni dzhyry» («Song about Achemez») and «Atabiyni dzhyry» («Atabiy’s Song»), showed, that one of the central concepts of the moral and ethical code of the Karachay-Balkarian people is namys, syj, which means «honor». It did not depend on class or financial well-being, but was determined by the personal qualities of each individual person. Loss of honor was considered a fate worse than death. The study showed that in the historical-heroic songs of Karachais and Balkarians a significant layer of encoded information about their linguistic and ethnic picture of the world has been preserved.The research methods, used in the work, were axiological, descriptive and linguistic.

The essay focuses on the demographic and socioeconomic structure of Balkarian rural societies during the epoch of Russian capitalist modernization in the late XIXth and early XXth centuries. The evidence from the 1886 Household Census was used to compile the database. The information was processed with the use of various methods of statistical and correlation analysis. This made it possible to present a cross-section of the Balkar society of that period, its demographic structure, economic differentiation, and social stratification. Systematic comparison of the data from the 1886 Census with that from the governmental inspection of 1905 was indispensable for the meas-uring of the social change the local ethno-social community had underwent in twenty years time span. All the influences of the modernizing environment notwithstanding, Balkarian society re-tained its traditional characteristics. None meaningful changes in socio-economic structure lead-ing toward “agrarian capitalism” are discernible. So, the Balkarian highlander’s society remained at the onset of the XXth century, relatively isolated from the modernizing environment of the greater Russian society. The methods applied and findings achieved in this research bear an essen-tial novelty in relation to interpretations prevalent in literature on the topic. The article partially contains the conclusions of the author’s dissertation research [Муратова (Muratova) 2006] and has been prepared for publishing in order to make them public and increase readership.

This article presents and analyzes the content of the monograph by L. B. Khavzhokova «Evolution of the system of Adyghe versification», published in Nalchik in 2022. Reviewers consistently characterize all five chapters of the book, which discuss issues related to the genesis of Adyghe verse (from folklore to literary), its rhythm (stress, intonation, inversion, graphics), metric (iamb, trochee, dactyl, amphibrachium, anapest, logaed, free verse), rhyme and stanza. The fruitfulness of the author’s use of the comparative method in analyzing the poetic texts of Kabardian, Adyghe and Circassian poets with the identification of common and special features is noted. Processing of statistical data allowed the author to draw a conclusion about the harmonious synthesis of the models of European verse with the original Adyghe laws of versification. This author is recom-mended to use the analytical capabilities of modern digital technologies in further developments of problems of national versification.
THE MOUNTAINOUS REPUBLIC AND A. DENIKIN: FACTORS OF THE INEFFICACY OF THE ANTI-BOLSHEVIK ALLIANCE
Authors:   Institute for Humanitarian studies – branch Kabardin-Balkar Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Osman A. Zhansitov
Published: January 2024

The article explores the problems of interaction between the government of the Mountainous Re-public and the Volunteer Army in the late 1918-1919. It identifies the factors that hindered the consolidation of these actors in the revolutionary period in the North Caucasus region. It is noted that despite the common tasks associated with the fight against the Bolsheviks, the Mountainous Republic and A. Denikin were divided by insurmountable contradictions: after the Bolsheviks came to power, the mountainous figures embarked on building an independent state, while the White administration fought to preserve the integrity of the space of the collapsed Russian Em-pire. Furthermore, the article emphasizes that the vulnerable position of the Mountainous Repub-lic, lacking a combat-ready army, broad social base among the indigenous population, and politi-cal authority at the time under consideration, did not allow the White authorities to consider the mountain democratic political elite as a force whose alliance would have a significant impact on the outcome of the struggle against Bolshevism in the region.

Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is a significant challenge across various domains, requiring adept resolution of conflicts arising from diverse objectives and criteria. This study proposes an innovative approach aimed at optimizing controllability, minimizing irreversibility, and maximizing overall effectiveness in control system design to address this challenge. The primary objectives of this study are to introduce a novel methodology for selecting Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) using the well-established Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. Additionally, a closeness coefficient is introduced to rank alternatives networks based on their proximity to the ideal solution. Two illustrative case studies are presented to showcase the methodology's effectiveness, adaptability, and robustness in discrete multi-criteria decision-making problems, particularly in the context of HEN selection. Consistently identifying HEN configurations that fulfill controllability objectives, the methodology demonstrates its effectiveness and potential for broader applications beyond HEN optimization. The case study results affirm the adaptability and robustness of the proposed approach. In summary, this paper introduces an original and versatile approach to address the complexities of multi-criteria decision-making, specifically in the context of HEN selection. Rooted in the TOPSIS method and fortified by the closeness coefficient, the methodology holds promise for intricate decision-making processes and offers transformative possibilities for control system design. The study concludes by inviting further exploration of the proposed methodology, emphasizing its significant contribution to the field and its potential for widespread impact. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to investigate and apply this innovative approach in diverse decision-making scenarios. The ranking results reveal that alternatives M and K is the optimum one among all the alternatives for both cases with a closeness coefficient equal to 0.651 and 0.971.

Published: January 2024

The cucurbit fly is a pest with significant economic impact because it affects numerous agricultural crops and leads to fruit damage. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the local and commercial isolates of Heterohabditis bacteriophora nematodes on the larvae and pupae of the cucurbit fly insect Dacus ciliatus. Four concentrations were pre-pared for each isolate (10, 25, 50, and 100 infective juveniles/milliliter). The results showed clear variations in the isolates' ability to control the insects, and the effectiveness of the used concentrations varied in their impact on the mortality rate of the larvae and pupae. It was found that all concentrations could infect and control the cucurbit fly at both stages: larvae and pupae, but with varying percentages. Results showed that 100 IJs/mL scored the highest mortality rate compared to the other concentrations. The percentage of larvae and pupae mortality was higher when treated with the local isolate of nematodes compared to the commercial isolate at the same concentration.

Perceptions Of The Freezing Response Of Male And Female Rape Victims, And The Moderating Role Of Rape Myth Beliefs
Authors: Ostermann Judith Christiane , Watson Steven James
Published: January 2024

PurposeWe investigated whether indicating victims of sexual attacks actively resisted their attacker or froze during their assault affected perceptions of victim blame, perpetrator blame, and seriousness of the crime. We also tested whether victim and perpetrator gender or rape myth endorsement affected our outcomes.DesignA 2x2 between-participants experimental design with 273 participants was performed. Participants read a mock police report describing an alleged rape with a female or male victim who either resisted or froze, while perpetrator gender was adjusted heteronormatively. FindingsFreezing and male victims were blamed more than resisting and female victims. Perpetrators were blamed more when the victim resisted, but male and female perpetrators were blamed equally. Seriousness of the crime was higher for male perpetrators and when the victim resisted. Female, but not male, rape myth acceptance moderated the relationship between victim behaviour and outcome variables.OriginalityThis study highlights the influence of societal expectations on perceptions of rape and its victims.
Pupil old/new effect as an objective measure of recognition memory: A meta-analysis of 17 eye-tracking experiments
Authors: Lapteva Alexandra , Martarelli Corinna
Published: January 2024

Recognition memory, the ability to recognize previously encountered information, correlates with pupil diameter changes during the recognition period. This physiological response, known as the pupil old/new effect, generally reflects the variation in pupil dilation when encountering previously studied (old) stimuli compared to new stimuli. To develop a more precise understanding of the pupil old/new effect, we conducted a meta-analysis of 17 eye-tracking experiments (across 12 articles spanning from 2008 to 2023) involving 560 healthy adults with a mean age of 22.31 years. Analysis of publication bias showed a rather low risk of bias in the selected articles. The main meta-analysis revealed a significant and large pooled pupil old/new effect (Cohen’s dz = 0.73, 95% CI [0.50, 0.95]). Further analysis of moderators showed that the number of participants included in the experiments and the criteria for selecting trials (only correct trials vs. all trials) had a significant impact on the meta-analytic results. In general, the analyses revealed a robust pupil old/new effect across all selected articles. This finding underscores its potential utility as a marker of recognition memory across different stimuli type, and various experimental designs.

Published: January 2024

Agency and communion can inform how individuals navigate membership in social groups, including their race/ethnicity. Across two preregistered studies of racially/ethnically diverse young adults, we examined themes of agency and communion in narratives about race/ethnicity in relation to racial/ethnic identity measures. Study 1 (N = 154) examined cross-sectional and longitudinal relations of agency and communion and racial/ethnic identity in two waves of data gathered six-months apart. Study 2 (N = 942) examined cross-sectional relations of agency and communion and racial/ethnic identity in a larger multi-site sample. In Study 1, themes of agency and communion and racial/ethnic identity measures were stable across waves and racial/ethnic identity predicted variations in themes over time. Across studies, communion correlated positively with racial/ethnic identity and agency and communion were positively related. This research provides insight into a narrative feature that might promote racial/ethnic identity and the importance of considering contextual factors in personality research.
Did the Rapid Transition to Online Learning in Response to COVID-19 Impact Students’ Cognitive Load and Performance in Veterinary Anatomy?
Authors: Jones Karina , Miller Dan J. , Noble Prisca
Published: January 2024

COVID-19 safety required rapid transitions to online learning across education. This posed unique challenges for veterinary anatomy, which is a practical subject. This study compares the cognitive load and academic performance of first- and second-year veterinary students studying anatomy in 2019 (pre-COVID-19) and 2020 (post-COVID-19 teaching adjustments). Importantly, the core teaching content remained identical for both courses in 2019 and 2020 apart from teaching method (in-person vs. online), allowing us to isolate the effects of teaching method on cognitive load and academic performance. Cognitive load was measured among first- ( n2019 = 105, n2020 = 49) and second-year students ( n2019 = 85, n2020 = 42) at the end of each teaching semester, using a validated instrument. The instrument measures intrinsic load (IL, study material complexity), extraneous load (EL, presentation of material), and germane load (GL, self-perceived learning). t-Tests compared the 2019 and 2020 cohorts with respect to both cognitive load and academic performance. The results indicated that 2019 and 2020 cohorts did not differ on IL or EL in either the first- or second-year subject. However, among both first- and second-year students, the 2020 cohort reported significantly less GL compared to the 2019 cohort. Additionally, the first-year 2020 cohort performed at a significantly lower level than the first-year 2019 cohort. No significant difference in performances was reported between second-year cohorts. Therefore, despite being less inclined to perceive that online course activities enhanced their understanding of anatomy, second-year students with previous experience of learning anatomy in an in-person tertiary environment adjusted better than first-year students with limited experience.
Efficiency of Islamic Income Allocation and Distribution among MSMEs in Pentol Bakar Pacet, Mojokerto
Authors: Fatkhurrozi Tanto , Rahmawati Lilik
Published: January 2024

Islamic Allocation Efficiency means that no individual can increase his utility without reducing other uses. Islamic allocation efficiency does not allow increasing personal welfare which can cause the welfare of others to decrease. Income Distribution in Islam refers to the distribution of existing assets, both private and public, to the people who are entitled to receive them. One of the goals to be achieved by distributing Islam is a social goal, meeting the needs of groups in need and enlivening the principle of solidarity in Islamic society so that society can live in prosperity. This research uses descriptive qualitative research. Data collection was obtained from interviews and field observations as well as various reading materials, both journals and books. This research resulted in the MSMEs business actors of Pentol Bakar (Grilled Pentol) Pacet being able to be said to be efficient because the allocation of income received from both employees and bosses without the bosses and employees being harmed was not wronged by the MSMEs business actors of Pentol Bakar Pacet in accordance with the theory of income distribution in Islam because there was no efforts to improve the welfare of others over the suffering of others because the income received by employees is greater than what the staff earns. There is also an aspect of justice because in this case no one is harmed by this system, it’s just that employees must continue to optimize their work in order to earn more income. MSMEs actors of Pentol Bakar Pacet are in accordance with Islamic allocation efficiency.
ANALISIS OF PHITODIVERSITY ACCORDING TO THE STATE OF VEGETATION PF THE PETROPAVLOVSK ESTUARY LANSCAPE RESERVE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS
Authors: Bilushenko А.
Published: January 2024

The Petropavlovsk estuary landscape reserve and its surroundings are subject to significant anthropogenic influence as a result of human activity. That is why the analysis of phytodiversity is important in order to get an idea of the level of transformation of the territory of the reserve. In the course of the work, an ecomorphological analysis of flora was carried out and anthropogenic influence on phytocenoses was revealed. A list of plants with bio-ecological certification, which were discovered during research, was compiled. Three points were chosen for research. During the work, 16 descriptions were made at these points, with different projective cover by vegetation twice during the growing season. The flora is characterized by a small variety of species – 94 higher vascular plants belonging to 33 families. Astracaea, Poacaea, and Rosacaea are among the main families with the greatest abundance of species. Hemicryptophytes predominate among climate morphs, and species that are partially light-demanding among ecomorphs. Biomorphs are characterized by the dominance of polycarps (perennial plants). Hygromesophyte and xerophyte species predominate in the hygrospectrum of the flora. . Species with medium moisture conditions make up 16%. The share of xerophytes in conditions of moderate moisture is 7%. Species that show wide tolerance to moisture conditions make up 2%. Among trophomorphs, mesotrophic species completely dominate. The coenomorphic structure is mainly represented by typical types of bows. In all descriptions there is a ruderal fraction, as well as species that partially or facultatively belong to this group. Due to the obvious anthropogenic influence (fouling which is a consequence of recreational and economic activities plowing, livestock grazing, there are signs of technogenic load), plant associations are poorly developed. The total fraction of adventitious species is 29%, of which 14% of species form a stable fraction in the investigated phytocenoses. There are two species, that are considered to be quarantined. Tree and shrub vegetation is very poorly developed and makes up less than 5% of the entire flora and is in a state of degression. The research area needs further observations of the state of transformational changes in vegetation that are occurring at this stage.

Natural products, especially those of plant origin, are a major source for identifying promising lead candidates and play an important role in future drug development programs. The ease, availability, low cost, and minimal side effects make herbal medicines a major key player in all available treatments, especially in rural areas. In addition, a large number of plants are a rich source of bioactive chemicals that have no undesirable side effects and have powerful pharmacological effects. Plants have also always been an exemplary source of medicines, and many of the drugs currently available are derived directly or indirectly from them. The use of specific plant species developed regionally, based on the local flora.

The aim of the study was to determine the biochemical characteristics and pharmaceutical potential of medicinal plants from different agroclimatic zones of Ukraine. In the course of the work, it was determined that a large number of varieties of medicinal plants grow on Ukrainian lands. In the course of the work, it was determined that a large number of varieties of medicinal plants grow on Ukrainian lands. The high pharmaceutical potential of medicinal plants largely depends on the soil and climatic conditions of each territory, even within the same climatic zone, and has its own special conditions.

The combination and correlation of numerous meteorological elements, such as heat, humidity, light, etc., affect the biochemical characteristics and pharmaceutical potential of a plant. Therefore, it is the agroclimatic zone of growth of a medicinal plant that is of great importance for its further use in medicine.
DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCE OF SOME HEAVY METALS ON THE BIOSYNTHETIC CAPACITY OF STREPTOMYCES RECEFENSIS VAR. LYTICUS 2P-15 FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF AMYLOLYTIC ENZYMES
Authors: Ivchenko Е. , Mitina N.
Published: January 2024

Modern biotechnology of enzymes is a promising and rapidly developing branch of industrial biotechnology, which requires new promising research in the aspect of optimizing the conditions of biosynthesis of enzymes. Modulation of the biosynthetic activity of producer strains allows to significantly increase the economic output of production. The most important factor in increasing efficiency is the composition of the nutrient medium, which can be optimized depending on the needs of the microorganisms. Within the framework of a complex study of the optimization of the composition of the nutrient medium by the simplex method of mathematical modeling, the aim of the work is to study the effect of some heavy metal ions on the biosynthetic capacity of the strain Streptomyces recefensis var. lyticus 2P-15. The influence of some heavy metal ions on the biosynthetic capacity of the strain Streptomyces recefensis var. lyticus 2P-15 in terms of synthesis of amylolytic enzymes, accumulation of biomass and protein. The object of the study is the strain Streptomyces recefensis var. lyticus 2P-15, obtained by three-stage selection of the producer. The simplex method of selecting the composition of the environment was used for the research. Standard methods for determining biomass and amylolytic activity were used to analyze biosynthetic activity. It was established that adding Co, Mo, and Cd ions at a concentration of 0.00001 and 0.0005 mg/ml inhibits the growth of biomass, but increases the protein content by 13-57%, respectively. It was determined that the addition of Co, Mo, Cd ions in different concentrations helps to increase both the quantitative and qualitative composition of the synthesized enzymes, and the best response was an increase in amylolytic activity by 354% compared to the control. The prospect of further research into the optimization of the biosynthesis of actinomycetes simplex by the method of other aspects of its regulation will increase the biosynthetic capacity of the studied strain, which will positively affect the economic output of the production of amylolytic enzyme preparations by obtaining microbial synthesis.
RESISTANCE OF CALENDULA OFFICINALIS VARIETIES TO ALTERNARIOSIS
Authors: Bashta О. , Myronova Ю.
Published: January 2024

The article describes the features of the manifestation and development of alternariosis on different varieties of medicinal marigold (Salendula officinalis). Medicinal marigolds, thanks to a number of pharmaceutical properties, are today strategically important crops for medicinal plant cultivation. However, many factors affecting the yield and quality of raw materials during their cultivation lead to low economic efficiency of their cultivation and as a result of the reduction of sown areas.

The purpose of the article is to evaluate the resistance to Alternaria of the main varieties of medicinal plants, which will allow to increase the efficiency of their cultivation in the future.

One of these factors is the disease of medicinal plants, since the issue of their control is not studied, and the use of chemical fungicides on medicinal plants is prohibited. One of the ways to control the spread and development of diseases is the cultivation of resistant varieties, but this issue is also not sufficiently studied.

Alternaria is one of the most common and dangerous diseases of medicinal plants. The harmfulness of alternariosis manifests itself as a result of mold growth, reduction of the photosynthetic surface of leaves, and contamination of agricultural products with fungal metabolites, which can be phyto-, mycotoxins, and allergens.

Therefore, during 2020-2022, in the conditions of the scientific laboratory "Demonstration Collection Field of Agricultural Crops" of NUBiP of Ukraine, a study of resistance to Alternaria of 30 varieties of medicinal plants was conducted: Apricot, Apricot Jam, Gitana, Deja Vu, Jiga Jiga, Indian Prince, Kabluna Gold, Californian. Terry, Candyman, Cremebrûlée, Monarch, Pink Surprise, Orange Heart, Green Heart, Golden Balls, Monarch, Orange King, Princess, Radio, Red Doctor, Touch of Red, Fiesta, Citron, Citrongelb, Magic Sari, Red Heart, Sherbet.

Under the conditions of the research, the varieties Dejavu, Gitana, Golden Balls, Mandarin Twist, Crembrule, Kabluna Gold, Monarch, Touch of Red, Fiesta and Charivne Sari showed the greatest resistance to the causative agent of Alternaria.

High resistance to the causative agent of Alternaria was observed in varieties Apricot Jam, Geisha, Orange King and Green Heart.

Varieties California terry, Candyman, Pink Surprise, Orange Heart, Princess, Red Doctor, Citron, Citron Gelb, Red Heart and Sherbet had a weak susceptibility to the pathogen of Alternaria.

Although Photovoltaic Technologies are largely deployed as a renewable energy source, several factors affect their performance. The major factors that affect PV performance are changes in irradiance and temperature. Maximum PowerPoint Tracking of PV output is essential in giving the maximum photovoltaic outputs at variable levels. Instantaneous variation in irradiance and temperature increases the complexity of tracking maximum power points. Partial shading conditions resulting from shade from trees, tall buildings, and Cloud formation amongst others greatly affect PV systems, especially in large Photovoltaic systems. Under the Partial shading condition, P-V curves become more complex as it is characterized by multiple peaks. The conventional PSO is associated with less accuracy in tracking the Global Maximum Power Point (Global MPP) and slow convergence time in obtaining the Global MPPT and oscillations. In this thesis, a modified Particle Swarm Optimization based Maximum Power Point Tracking technique is designed in MATLAB/Simulink to track the global Maximum Power Point of a Photovoltaic system under partial shading. The proposed modified PSO combines conventional PSO and P&O methods. The particle position in the PSO method is given as the duty cycle value d of the DC-DC converter. Conventional PSO equations are used to update the velocities and duty cycle. Thereafter, the maximum velocity and duty cycle are perturbed to reduce convergence time. The designed PV system was simulated in a MATLAB environment for 10 different irradiation levels and results were compared with results from related works. The average convergence time was 0.99 seconds and efficiency was up to 99.8% with the proposed model which performed better than conventional methods.

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC ) states that children who are victims of sexual violence have the right to receive special protection and recovery services so that it does not cause trauma and disrupt the child's mental health. This research aims to get an overview of services for child victims of sexual violence in DKI Jakarta. This research uses a qualitative approach to understand in depth the service process for child victims of violence carried out by government institutions, namely the Handayani Center and local governments, especially in DKI Jakarta, namely P2TP2A. Data collection techniques were carried out using interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with service providers and officers, observations of the service process and documentation studies in case reports. The informants for this research are service officers (hot line service, caregivers, and social rehabilitation), children's social workers (Sakti Peksos) as companions. Research results show that the Handayani Center under the Ministry of Social Affairs during 2022 has provided social rehabilitation for 8 children who are survivors of sexual violence, and the DKI Jakarta UPTD P2TP2A also handled 120 children. The rehabilitation service process has referred to the standards outlined by WHO, however there is still a need to improve services related to monitoring to ensure children are mentally healthy and can continue their child development tasks.

Knowledge Creation as Influence the Achievement of Organisational Social Innovation
Authors:   UCSI University, Binti Mustapha Nur Diyana , Abu Seman Shahri Bin ,   University Polytech Malaysia
Published: January 2024

This research investigates the effects of knowledge creation on organisational social innovation in R&D organisations. Organisational social innovation deviated from the concept by presenting a new paradigm in business, the potential for innovation of which was viewed as knowledge creation as a factor to solve business economic problems and unfulfilled demands in society. In the post-industrial era, managing intellectual assets has become a crucial component of organisational effectiveness. Organisations require knowledge creation that will enable them to respond quickly to changes, fulfil the demand for constantly changing business knowledge, and improve their ability for long-term organisational innovation. As a result, this research investigates the impact of knowledge creation on the achievement of organisational social innovation. However, there is a lack of interest of previous researcher in this area. In this paper, a partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was used, and a survey questionnaire was chosen to collect data for this descriptive study. This finding includes 171 Malaysian R&D organisations. This study showed a substantial relationship between knowledge creation and organisational social innovation. The findings of this study extended and improved knowledge-based view (KBV), emphasising the need of understanding a firm's competitive advantage in terms of knowledge creation on achievement of organisational social innovation. However, this study has some limitations, especially in terms of breadth and sample size. Furthermore, the application of current criteria may limit the examination of additional determinants.

Using forecast for creating artistic bridges between people
Authors: Calefariu (Giol) Emilia
Published: January 2024

The forecast represents the set of work methods through which the main business objectives of the institution, its behaviors as well as the resources and the modalities required for their accomplishment are determined. From the perspective of artistic management, the forecast is the foundation of the decisions of the leader of cultural organizations. The detailed analysis of culture, of how the artistic act creates an impact in society, must represent a particularly important element of documentation. The forecast represents the basis on which the change of perspective from which culture contributes to the development of society can be built. Thus, the analysis from the moment of making the forecast must be realistic regarding the current state of perception of culture, its purpose being to establish realistic targets, possible to reach, but by the very purpose of art: that of revealing the good and creating bridges between people.
