Authors: Jacob Etafiemor , Ameuru Umar Salami , Giwa Abdulraheem
Published: October 2023

A new acid dye was synthesised from the reaction of 6-amno-2-(5-chloro-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2yl)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione with J-acid. The synthesised dye was characterised by melting point, UV-visible absorption, FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The synthesised dye was stimulated and subjected to photodegradation using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as photocatalyst in the presence of ultraviolet light in a photo reactor. The rate of degradation of the dye solution was determined on the basis of absorbance measurement. Four factors such as dye concentration, pH of the solution, time of irradiation and catalyst loading were used as the operational parameters for the photo-degradation studies. The Minitab 17 software was used to determine the optimized conditions for the experiment. The main effects and interactions between factors were investigated and results analysed. The results for the optimization parameters in the photocatalytic degradation revealed the following conditions for the percentage degradation: Maximum degradation at 67.9 % with the desirability of 0.96462, dye concentration of 10 mg/L, catalyst loading of 2 mL, with the time of irradiation of 90 minutes at pH of 3.9 for the dye. This showed that (UV/H2O2) photocatalytic degradation of acid dyes using factorial design were effective and efficient technology which can be used in treatment of tannery and textile effluents.
Effective Enhancement of Post-Harvest Tomato Storage through Wrapping Using Deacetylated Chitin Nanofibril-Plasticized Honey Films
Authors: Mushi Ngesa Ezekiel , Meela Edina , Kaombe Divina
Published: October 2023

As one of the most grown seasonal fruit, tomato is widely consumed for making food products, drugs and ornaments. However, poor post-harvest handling system, transport and storage facilities deteriorate the quality of tomato fruits resulting into post-harvest losses. These problems have been addressed by the use of nanotechnology in this study. The combination of a chitosan surface and the core shell chitin results into novel deacetylated chitin nanofibril (DeChNF) with good biological activity and mechanical strength. The effectiveness of the DeChNF films for food preservation as an alternative material to chitosan is investigated. The DeChNF with degree of acetylation (DA) = 60.2% and chitosan (DA = 7.1%) were obtained from crab shells. Two appraches were employed to store freshly matured tomatoes harvested at a breaker stage. The tomatoes were coated with the colloidal suspension and wrapped in the films. Flexible wrapping films were prepared from the colloidal suspension through solution casting using bees honey (35%) and compared to those with glycerol (25%) as plastisizers. The main output storage parameters analysed include colour development, surface spoilage, and weight loss over 20 days at a 73% relative humidity. Tomatoes covered with DeChNF-honey and chitosan-honey films remained in good condition after 20 days, while the coated samples lasted for up to 15 days, except those coated with DeChNF, and those covered with a polyethylene films or stored in a refrigerator at 9 °C. The samples covered with DeChNF films plasticized with honey showed the best resistance against weight loss. The tensile strength of the DeChNF-honey films (strength = 21.32 MPa) and the chitosan-honey films (strength = 21.86 MPa) were higher than the polyethylene films (10.9 MPa). The current work increases understanding on  DeChNF as an alternative material, with additional of honey as a plasticizer, over the superior chitosan, or commercial films based on fossil resources.

Authors: Mangara Rajabu J. , Kumwenda Mwingereza J.
Published: October 2023

High accuracy wind speed forecasting is essential for wind energy harvest and plays a significant role in wind farm management and grid integration. Wind speed is intermittent in nature, which makes the forecasting to be a big challenge. In the present study, three hybrid single-step wind speed forecasting techniques are proposed and tested by local measurement data in Singida region, Tanzania. The three techniques are based on Wavelet Analysis (WA), Back Propagation (BP) optimization algorithm, and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). They are referred to as WA-RNN, BP-RNN, and WA-BP-RNN. The model results showed that WA-BP-RNN outperforms the other two proposed techniques, with minimum statistical errors of 0.56 m/s (BIAS), 6.89% (MAPE) and 0.53 m/s (RMSE). Furthermore, the WA-BP-RNN technique has shown highest correlation value of 0.95, which indicates that, the strength of a linear association between the observed and forecasted dataset of the wind speed. In addition, the deployment of the BP optimization algorithm in the proposed technique showed improvements of the model results.

In Search of the Nietota Flower. „Fossil Literature” and Paleobotany

The article focuses on the issues of paleontology, the science of plant fossils, with particular emphasis on paleobotanical threads devoted to fossil vegetation, which in the 19th century was closely related to philology, represented both by the science of literature and language. The author extracts the notions of “fossil literature” (Adam Mickiewicz) and “fossil poetry” (Ralph Waldo Emerson), pointing to their particular relationship with “paleobotany of the unconscious” (Kazimierz Wyka), presented from the psychoanalytic perspective (Eduard von Hartmann, Carl Gustav Jung, Charles Baudouin) as an archetype of collective, interspecies memory, reaching back to some common ancestor and root cause reminding us of the eternal coexistence of the organic and the inorganic, plant and animal, human and non-human. The author also draws attention to the ecological and ecocritical aspects of the fossil literature, which he perceives as the trace fossils of human life activity (ichnofossils), which make up the meta-layer of the Anthropocene.

O artigo analisa a ferramenta match eleitoral. Desenvolvida pelo Jornal Folha de S. Paulo e pelo Instituto Datafolha, a ferramenta promove o encontro entre eleitor e candidato, identificando afinidades sobre diversos temas de interesse público. Mas será que o aplicativo é um elemento passível de ser agregado às campanhas eleitorais? Reúne um conjunto razoável de temas de interesse público para a decisão do voto? Para responder essas e outras questões, analisamos o contexto da criação e dos usos estratégicos da ferramenta, ou seja, as campanhas eleitorais em tempos de plataformização (VAN DIJCK et al., 2018) e a atuação dos algoritmos na instituição de novas lógicas de seleção, hierarquização, recomendação e controle dos fluxos informacionais (D’ANDRÉA, 2020). Observamos que a ferramenta, mesmo sem oferecer recursos interativos e dialógicos, se configura como uma estratégia de comunicação eleitoral e colabora para o processo de democratização das informações pública.

General Election (GE) often becomes a complex political arena filled with strategies to influence public opinion. In recent years, there has been an interesting trend where celebrities actively engage in politics and run as legislative candidates. This phenomenon creates a new dynamic in politics known as celebrity commodification, figures that easily capture public attention. Their popularity in the entertainment industry gives them the confidence to venture into the realm of elected representatives. Famous celebrities from the fields of entertainment, sports, and media are utilized by political parties to boost their popularity and garner support from the public or the electorate in the democratic process. The phenomenon of celebrities running as legislative candidates and joining political parties, in the perspective of commodification, is discussed in relation to three aspects: the character of the celebrities, party branding, and the public as political consumers

Published: October 2023

In an age of increasingly sophisticated technology such as today. The need for greater storage capacity is responsible for the emergence of various compression techniques. The more file is stored, the greater the capacity. The enormous size of file results in an inefficient memory and slow-motion process of file transfer. Getting older file storage results in more and more file piling up. As technology progresses today. And thus, a growing ability to process file is utilizing a compression method that is expected to address the problem, it will be necessary to minimize storage by using Lempel Ziv Oberhumer methods to compress Advanced Audio Coding(AAC) files to narrow the size of the beets. So by applying an Lempel Ziv Oberhumer to compression the file could reduce storage capacity optimally.

This paper is aimed at examining the relationship between employee selection process and organizational performance. Adopting a proportionate stratified random sampling technique, 255 employees were profiled amongst ten (10) banks in Lagos State. Guided by the Human capital Theory, data gathered by this cross-sectional survey was analysed through standardized multiple regression. Three selection process variables – applicant interview, cognitive ability test, and personality questionnaire - were regressed on organizational performance. A preliminary investigation revealed the absence of multicollinearity in the correlation matrix. The ANOVA table indicates that the proposed model is significant, F(3, 251) = 68.446, p < 0.001. Applicant interview made the most unique, and statistically significant contribution to the prediction of organizational performance. This outcome empirically supports that employee selection process cannot be jettisoned when measuring organizational performance. This paper showcases a unique deviation from extant literature which had used market share value, customer base, financial strengths, annual returns, and so forth as parameters to measure organizational performance. Hence, theoretically, this outcome bridges the lacuna that exist in organization performance literature. Practically, the paper suggests to industry experts that the best talents needed to achieve organizational excellence are preferably selected through interview. Apart from the expensive nature of stratified random sampling, this paper is limited by its inability to differentiate between in-person interview and virtual interview. Future study may consider the various forms of interviews to strengthen the outcome of this paper.

Authors:   Leyte Normal University, Tacloban City, 6500 Philippines, Juan Justin L.
Published: October 2023

The family is considered the basic unit of society and portrays an important function as one of the main social institutions. However, the family system is confronted by challenges thus, suffers disintegration which results in dysfunctional family relationship. Numerous studies have been conducted exploring family relationships and how an unhealthy living environment could affect the well-being of an individual from properly portraying his or her vital role in society. This study also focuses the research process around what works, rather than trying to fix what does not. This study however aims to focus on the reflective experiences – the stories of struggles and motivation of an individual dealing with dysfunctional family relationship. The researcher utilized appreciative inquiry as the main design and used a single case study approach, in which the main participant faces a dysfunctional family set-up but still finds ways to live a productive life through engaging in the community. Through thematic analysis, the study revealed that individuals coming from dysfunctional homes are not always the ones who misbehave, are in conflict with the law, or become a rebel. Oftentimes, they value their life and develop their coping mechanisms to be a productive member of society. Through the narrative and experiences of the participant, this study has established that a dysfunctional home can also create and develop the most goal-driven and not disinterested in civic involvement and activities type of individuals.

Az időskori aktivitás összetett kérdés, ugyanakkor mindannyian könnyen meghozzuk az ítéletet egy idős személyről, arról, hogy ő aktív vagy sem. Úgy tűnik, időskorban sokkal inkább összefügg egymással a fizikai, a szellemi és a társas aktivitás. Az egészséges étkezés és fizikai aktivitás adja az erőt a szellemi aktivitáshoz, és a szellemi aktivitás és belátás vezethet a fizikai aktivitáshoz és egészséges táplálkozáshoz. Mindkét terület katalizátora a társas aktivitás, mert a közösségi aktivitás, a társas kapcsolatok fenntartása az egyik legfontosabb prediktora a pozitív idősödésnek.
A meggyőzés pozitív útjai időskorban
Authors: Hujber-Mitru Szilvia , Balázs Katalin
Published: October 2023

A társas helyzetek egy részében meggyőzési kísérletek zajlanak. A meggyőzés olyan kommunikációs tevékenység, amelynek célja egy másik személy attitűdjének, véleményének, viszonyulásának kialakítása vagy megváltoztatása egy helyzettel, tárggyal vagy személlyel kapcsolatban, annak érdekében, hogy az a másik fél viselkedését befolyásolja (Chaiken, Wood és Eagly, 1996). A meggyőzés sikeressége számos tényezőtől függ, például attól, hogy az üzenet a viselkedésre ható számos tényező közül melyikre próbál hatni; milyen kommunikációs eszközök, stratégiák kerülnek alkalmazásra; illetve a meggyőző közlés befogadójának sajátosságai is lényegesek: például érintettsége, motivációi, információfeldolgozási sajátosságai.

A V4 országokban a COVID-19 járvány harmadik hullámának hatásait kerültek vizsgálatra a projekt időszakában. A kutatás célja a pandémia hatásainak feltárása a „nő, család és karrier” változásainak és azok összefüggéseinek alapján. A kérdőíves felmérés négy egymástól távol eső helyszínen, a Cseh Köztársaságban, Lengyelországban, Magyarországon és Szlovákiában folyt éppúgy, mint a kérdőíves felmérés és a fókuszcsoportos interjú is. Az egyes országokban a válaszadók vidékről és több városból kerültek ki, összesen 913 fő, amelynek 94%-a nő. Valamennyi korosztály részt vett a felmérésben, de eltérő arányban. Az 50+-osok a vizsgálati kinta 55%-át (41-50 éves 31%, 51-60 éves 15%, 61+ évesek 8%) tették ki. A résztvevők kvalifikáltsága és élethelyzete eltérő volt. A négy V4 ország adatfelvételére (kérdőív) épülő statisztikai elemzést egy fókuszcsoportos vizsgálat egészítette ki. A nő, család és karrier egyensúlyának ezen hármas vizsgálata újszerű a kutatás területén. Ez a komplex szemlélet lehetővé tette, hogy a döntéshozók építhessenek az eredményekre, és felismerhető legyen a számok mögött meghúzódó emberi tényezők jelentősége.

Introduction: The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has made it difficult to conduct face- to-face (F2F) Social Skill Training (SST) based on discussions among clients. Therefore, we decided to start online SST using Zoom. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify differences between online and F2F SST based on their practices, and to propose ways to use online SST in the future Method: This questionnaire was answered by staff (9 people) who experienced both online and F2F SST. The questionnaire consisted of 5 sub-categories for a total of 23 items. The six-point scale results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. The open-ended questionnaire was analyzed according to the “Steps for Coding and Theorization” (SCAT) method, developed for analyzing qualitative data. Results: Analyses revealed that in online SST it was significantly harder to see the client’s facialexpression compared with F2F. From the qualitative analysis results, online SST had a distinctive conversation structure. Besides, online SST had the merit of acquiring communication skills such as joining conversation using chat, adjusting the participation environment by yourself and, creating sentences using computer. Conclusion: Although it was difficult to see the client’s facial expressions on online SST,it is considered that online SSTs may be easier to participate in than face-to-face SSTs because of the unique conversational structure in which staff choose the next speaker to continue or start the conversation, the use of chat, and the ability for clients to participate in SSTs in an environment that suits them.
Resenha - Nietzsche's Meta Existentialism de Vinod Acharya

Published: October 2023

O livro de Vinod Acharya defende a tese do meta-existencialismo de Nietzsche, mostrando como, para o filósofo alemão, o inquérito sobre a própria subjetividade não escapava a uma consideração objetiva sobre a natureza da realidade, ambos os momentos travando uma relação constitutiva de tensão.

Authors: Arshad Muhammad
Published: October 2023

Though frequent availability of energy is vital for economic growth, using any energy source can have a certain degree of impact on the environment. Pakistan is facing the worst power crisis nowadays. The government of Pakistan has been focused to find energy solutions in fossil fuels. As the world moves towards a clean sustainable direction, coal sources, are cheap at the moment, and new coal-based power plants can be put up quickly with a predictable output, but with the degradation of the environment, Pakistan can utilize sustainable energy resources such as biomass, solar energy, hydropower, and wind power; which are frequently available in Pakistan and can generate environment-friendly power above 40,000 MW. It is necessary to consider these sustainable energy resources, as their prices have been dipping dramatically and it is now cheaper to build new commercial plants based on improved technologies able to generate more electricity. The present paper discusses the insight environment-friendly sustainable energy options available in Pakistan other than coal-fired plants to overcome future energy demand.

Authors: Kartini Puri Ratna , Ningtiyas Erika Rahayu , Vevi Maritha
Published: October 2023

One of the non-pharmacological treatments in tuberculosis patients is the fulfillment of good nutrition. Complete nutrition in meat is able to keep the body healthier, thus preventing the outbreak of tuberculosis. Meat used to fulfill nutritional needs in an effort to prevent tuberculosis needs to be considered halal. Knowledge about halal meat as nutrition to prevent tuberculosis needs to be given to the community, both those who have been exposed and those who have not. Garon Village, Kawedanan Subdistrict, Magetan Regency is an area where the community has not been exposed to tuberculosis, but the area is cold in the Bancak mountainous area so the potential for people to contract tuberculosis is very high. Therefore, counseling is needed to increase community knowledge about the importance of halal meat consumption as an effort to fulfill nutrition to prevent tuberculosis. The result of this counseling was an increase in knowledge about the benefits of halal meat consumption to prevent tuberculosis by 85.3%. This value can be a reference that this service activity has an impact on the community.

Institutional Factors Affecting University Startup Types and Their Performances in Korean Universities: A Panel Data Analysis
Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Kim Jong-woon
Published: October 2023

This study adopts a resource-based framework to investigate the factors driving the prevalence of three types of startups in universities by faculty, students, and university organizations, and their subsequent performance indicator, such as employee count. Specifically, we formulate twelve hypotheses that link institutional resources and university infrastructure to each type of university startups and their performance. By analyzing data from 130 South Korean four-year universities spanning the years 2017 to 2021, we examine variations across six distinct university resource categories.
Our findings reveal that the factors influencing different types of university startups are distinct. Research funds and universities’ personnel policies have a significant impact on professor startups, whereas startup education programs and faculty startup performance are significant student startups. In addition, both the level of financial resources and the existence of a technology-holding company exert a broad influence on all three types of university startups, albeit with a distinction in the nature funds. Research funds are correlated with faculty and student startups, whereas commercialization funds are associated with universities’ organizational startups. Nevertheless, the presence of a technology-holding company has a significant impact on all three types of university startups and their respective performances. Furthermore, the outcomes underscore a distinct contrast between the factors influencing each type of university startups and the factors influencing their respective performances. Our results provide implications for both university and government policy-makers, emphasizing the necessity for a targeted approach in policies aimed at fostering startups across faculty, students, and university organizations.

Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Lee Kukhyung , Park Jaechun
Published: October 2023

This study verified the effect of corporate talent preferential policies on the job satisfaction of members and the mediating effect of organizational trust in the relationship between the two variables. In addition, the moderating effect of official education and training was identified in the relationship between organizational trust and job satisfaction. The results of the study of 8,506 workers in the manufacturing, financial, and non-financial industries of panel data of human resource companies by the Korea Vocational Competency Development Institute are as follows. First, the company's talent preferential policy had a positive effect on the job satisfaction of its members. Second, organizational trust played a partial mediating role in the relationship between talent preferential policy and job satisfaction. In other words, the talent preferential policy directly affected job satisfaction, but indirectly through organizational trust. Finally, the moderating effect of official education and training was identified in the relationship between organizational trust and job satisfaction. In other words, the positive relationship between organizational trust and job satisfaction was generally higher in the group with high official education and training than in the group that did not. The academic implication of this study is that the organization's talent preference policy identified the mediating effect of organizational trust and the moderating effect of official education and training in the mechanism process that affects members' job satisfaction. In addition, as a practical implication, the talent preferential policy positively affects job satisfaction by increasing members' trust in the organization, while the positive interaction between organizational trust and official education and training is an important factor to help members achieve work motivation and organizational success.
A Study on the Development and Utilization of ESG Management Indicators for Start-up
Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Son Sumi , Nam Jungmin
Published: October 2023

The expansion of start-up standards for corporate value from technology and idea business models to eco-friendly management has emerged as an important issue in recent research. Interest in abnormal climate phenomena and corporate social responsibility due to global warming is being studied as important issues in business administration, and ESG management strategies for sustainable management are being studied by developing policies and indicators around advanced countries as a solution. In particular, companies themselves are also releasing sustainable research reports by strengthening ESG indicators from existing management evaluation indicators as a countermeasure for sustainable management and risk management. However, there is still a lack of systematic and standardized research on ESG management indicators, and more than 600 domestic and foreign evaluations are being conducted by industry and company. Against this background, positive expectations and negative concerns for ESG evaluation indicators coexist. Indicators tailored to the need for ESG management, including strengthening the demand for non-financial performance of companies, establishing investment standards through ESG evaluation, and due diligence on supply chains, will have important implications. While no systematic standards have been established for domestic and international ESG management indicators, research on start-up perceptions of ESG management and ESG management evaluation indicators is still in its infancy. The purpose of this study is to develop ESG indicators suitable for start-up companies and SMEs based on domestic and international prior studies and ESG indicators. To this end, ESG indicators of start-up companies were derived for ESG experts, and detailed indicators were developed by dividing them into three stages: upper, middle, and lower indicators through AHP analysis.
The results of the study are as follows. First, the environment was evaluated as the most important factor in the importance and priority of the startup ESG management indicators of the ESG expert group in order of environment, social, and governance. The overall importance of the median indicators was in the order of industry and product safety, second place environmentally friendly production, and third place waste pollutant emission, and the overall importance of the sub-indicators was first place for the CEO's willingness to practice, second place for product safety, third place for greenhouse gas emissions and verification, fourth place for the industrial safety and health promotion system/industrial accident rate, and top five for ESG management and information disclosure. These findings can present baseline indicators that should be recognized or performed first to start-up executives considering ESG management, and can be meaningful in contributing to start-up ESG management and ESG system construction.
