challenges of writing an effective literature review for students and new researchers of business.
Authors: Mitchell Anthony , Rich Martin
Published: December 2023

The literature review is a key part of a dissertation or journal paper, yet it is also one of the areas that is often the most challenging. The multidisciplinary nature of business and management studies adds to the demands of writing a critical review by deciding which theories, subject areas and texts to interrogate. There are a number of approaches that students and academics might take in writing a literature review that require a differing approach, resources and timeframe. The purpose of this conference paper is to review the literature and develop an understanding of the complexities and challenges faced both by students and new researchers in preparing journal papers. We share our experience as faculty with teaching and writing at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and identify a number of the problems typically faced. Recent trends with regard to the proliferation of open access journals are outlined, and a journal Editor addresses common mistakes that lead to poor submissions and reviews. A popular business school text is amongst those views considered. Specialist types of software for analysis associated with the complexities of Systematic literature reviews are also outlined. We close with guidelines for success and conclusions. More research is encouraged as students now have fewer opportunities to develop the skills required for critical writing.

Measuring Political Trust: Recognising the Drivers of Trust in Public Institutions
Authors: Mangion Marie-Louise , Frendo George
Published: December 2023

Citizens’ trust is fundamental to the proper functioning of public institutions. This paper exploreshow the construct of ‘political trust’ can be measured to reflect the underlying theoretical factors driving trustlevels. It proposes a quantitative methodology to develop a scale that measures trust in public regulatoryinstitutions. Some measurements of trust are dependent on a scale for questions such as ‘What is your level oftrust in…?’ Alternatively, composite indicators are used, based on, for example, trust levels in a set of publicinstitutions. Such measures do not recognise what influences a citizen’s trust. The methodology presentedhere is also a composite measure but incorporates nine drivers and their extent of influence on a citizen’strust. These drivers, identified through a literature review on political trust, include consistency, transparency,outcomes, competence, integrity, openness and inclusiveness, fairness, reliability and responsiveness. Theproposed methodology follows four steps: (i) It determines drivers that citizens recognise as influential ontheir trust in a regulatory institution; (ii) it establishes the extent to which the drivers are influential; (iii) theinstitution is rated on a scale for each factor; and (iv) each factor rating is weighted on the extent of itsinfluence and a weighted average is computed to determine the level of trust. This methodology was appliedto measure trust in Malta’s environmental authorities following a demerger. A survey was conducted with thequestionnaire’s design reflecting this methodology. The empirical findings confirmed that all these factors leadto trust, but variations in the extent to which each driver influences a citizen’s trust exist. Responsiveness,outcomes, integrity and openness emerged as slightly less influential on citizens’ trust, whereas fairness,consistency, reliability, transparency and competence were the most influential factors. Significant differencesare recorded when comparing methods of measuring trust for the two institutions. This composite measurerecognises the multidimensional nature of trust, is grounded in the construct’s theoretical foundations andprovides reasons for variations in trust levels. Institutions can adopt this approach as a tool to regularlymonitor citizens’ trust and identify areas requiring attention.
Parental Leave as a Potential Demographic Policy Instrument in Russia: Mixed-Methods Research
Authors: Bagirova Anna , Blednova Natalia
Published: December 2023

In many countries, parental leave is an effective demographic policy measure. Its regulation is considered an important determinant of the birth rate. In Russia, the parental leave system is not flexible; however, the legislation provides for one of the longest parental leave in the world—36 months. According to a popular stereotype in Russia, as parental leave is longer than in other countries, there is no need to debate its effectiveness. This very reason may explain a lack of parental leave research in Russia.

Our paper aims to demonstrate how mixed-methods research can be applied to study parental leave in Russia. In 2021, to analyse the problem in the Sverdlovsk Region (one of the largest), we did the following:

1) surveyed 500 parents with both children under the age of 12 and currently living parents (i.e., grandparents);

2) surveyed 500 grandparents with grandchildren under the age of 12.

In both surveys, we used river sample. To increase the randomicity of the sample, we recruited respondents using multiple channels and sampled them with equal probability into the population analysed;

3) conducted focus groups with parents having both children under the age of 12 and currently living parents and with grandparents having grandchildren under the age of 12.

Our mixed-methods research yielded the following results.

The parents surveyed view mothers as primary leave-takers. They also refer to grandmothers (most often, maternal ones) and fathers as potential leave-takers.

Grandparents’ opinions on leave-takers are also diverse; their responses vary as much as parents’ ones. However, they are more restraint in terms of their own role as potential leave-takers.

As focus groups revealed, “if a need arises”, parents are willing to delegate the right for parental leave to grandparents, who agree to take it.

Our methodology is based on the mixed-methods research strategy. It allowed us to identify social attitudes towards the existing parental leave system in Russia and to draw attention to its transformation. The results may be of use when developing new mechanisms for the Russian state demographic policy.
KPI for the Evaluation of Growth Scenarios for the Strategic Organizational Development
Authors: Budde Felix , Orth Ronald , Förster Lars
Published: December 2023

Today's world faces constant change and increasing complexity. This also influences companies in their actions. In order to ensure growth and resilience, technology companies must innovate and strive for internal adaptability within the organization. A field of tension can be observed between the values of effectiveness and efficiency. Effective actions lead to the company and its products becoming better by doing the right things. Efficient actions allow the company and its products to become less costly by doing the things right. The expression of these values in the field of tension changes over the life cycle of a company. Strategic organizational development can thus only take place sustainably in balancing effective and efficient values.

Based on these ideas, a performance indicator model was developed to promote value balance by assigning concrete parameter to several perspectives. Balance is not a static condition, but the basis for healthy and above all sustainable growth. Without balance, too much of a good thing is done and destructive exaggerations are the result. The model takes a holistic, systemic and balancing position.

The main aim of this paper is therefore to describe the development, application and critical evaluation of this key performance indicator model to validate the underlying research methodology. The key performance indicator model is to be understood as a thought model, with the help of which the alignment of a company and its employees is to be achieved. The model is used to evaluate growth scenarios. As part of a case study, the organization, culture and environment of an exemplary company were examined with the help of representative workshops and expert interviews. The results of the status quo analysis were able to confirm the basic principles and logic of the key performance indicator system. Based on the information about the environment and organization gathered in the workshops and interviews, the KPI model was applied as an example to evaluate growth scenarios of an exemplary company.

Finally, interviews were conducted with top managers with many years of management experience to evaluate the KPI system and examine its general validity. The applicability of the KPI model could be conclusively determined for innovation-driven technology companies in the transition between the growth and maturity phase.

Authors: Ntalakos Angelos , Rossidis Ioannis , Belias Dimitrios
Published: December 2023

Over the past 30 years, Emotional Intelligence has been gaining ground in the field of business and management. Much has been written about the importance of Emotional Intelligence (EI) in leadership, which overlaps with the concept of management (Young & Dulewicz, 2008). Although, there are many researches into the connection between leadership and emotional intelligence, there seems to be a research gap between Trait Emotional Intelligence and Transformational Leadership (TL). This study examines the effects of the factors of Trait EI (emotionality, self–control, sociability, well–being, adaptability and motivation) (TraitEI, 2021; Petrides, 2009) on the dimensions of Transformational Leadership (vision, inspirational communication, supportive leadership, intellectual stimulation, personal recognition) (Rafferty and Griffin, 2004). Two groups were surveyed for this study. One (with 74 participants) consisted of managers who work in public or private sector’ organizations. The other sample (with 120 participants) consisted of employees who work in public or private sector’ organizations. The aim of the study was to investigate the connection between Trait EI and Transformational Leadership from the manager’s point of view, and from the employees’ point of view. Are there any differences between those two points of view? Are there any differences between Trait EI and Transformational Leadership due to the sectors (private – public) of the organizations? The tools used in this research include the following: a) Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEI-QUE SF) by Petrides (2009) and b) Rafferty’s and Griffin’s (2004) Five Dimensions of Transformational Leadership Test. The current paper hopes to contribute to the comprehension of the linkage among Trait EI and TL on Greek organizations managers’, and trigger future empirical research in the area.
DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS ABOUT AIR IN EARLY SCINCE EDUCATION
Authors: Maričić Olja , Bursać Lemaić Zorana , Petrović Danijela
Published: December 2023

Air is one of the first terms that students encounter in primary science classes. On the other hand, environmental problems of air pollution are present in the daily life of many people, and environmental awareness is developed and nurtured at all levels of education. Air is omnipresent in the lives of children from the earliest age, but due to its invisibility and intangibility, there are difficulties in understanding and adopting the concepts of air and its physical properties. Hence, these difficulties were the subject of this research. The aim of the research was to evaluate the level of adoption of teaching content about air among students in lower grades of primary schools, as well as, to assess whether and to what extent the teaching of the subjects The World Around Us and Nature and Society affects the development of concepts about air. 140 students of lower grades (I-IV) of two primary schools participated in the research. A knowledge test of twelve tasks related to scientific facts about air and its properties was applied. The obtained results show that there are no statistically significant differences in the level of adoption of tested scientific terms depending on the class (age), which points out to the conclusion that the process of developing certain scientific terms about air is insufficiently effective in the initial teaching of natural sciences. It is recommended to apply some innovative teaching models and strategies when processing teaching content about air, and to connect this content to everyday phenomena and students’ experiences as often as possible.
MIX METHODS IN POLITICAL SCIENCES
Authors: Arezina Vera
Published: December 2023

This publication highlights the mix methods in political sciences methodology. Mix methods are defined as `mixing` both qualitative and qualitative methods, or their elements or integration of some elements. Qualitative methods are interpretive and refers to interviews, focus groups, qualitative date analysis and other methods in order to determine the categories, patterns and, mostly important, the participant`s meanings. Quantitative methods are survey and experiment. Survey is used to describe numerically a trend or certain opinion, while in experiment the goal is to identify the outcome, in comparing two groups, one control and other with experimental factor. There are diverse classification of mixed methods designs. During these twenty years, many methodologists have developed more than forty types, so Creswell and Plano Clark have made more concise several classifications of mixed methods designs which can be applied in social sciences. The object of this article is to point out four mix methods designs which can be applied in political sciences, such as Explanatory design, Exploratory design, Convergent and Embedded design. The author`s objective is to explain each of these designs, the procedures, challenges and their application. Mixed methods are used in political sciences when only qualitative or quantitative method cannot answer to a research question. The intention of `mixing` or integration of elements or procedures, collecting and analyzing data of both qualitative and qualitative methods, is to achieve more significant conclusions.

Rhyolite grinding-milling tools in focus
Authors: Doležalová Kristina , Řídký Jaroslav , Pilař Daniel
Published: December 2023

Past societies have used various raw materials for making grinding-milling tools (GMT). These included rhyolite, a hard volcanic rock with a porphyritic texture and pores, which is suitable for grinding. Thus far, no experiments have been carried out involving use-wear analysis on rhyolite grinding stones, and more specifically on Neolithic GMTs made of this raw material. Therefore, in this paper, we present an experimental program designed to investigate the development of wear from the grinding of einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum) on rhyolite GMT replicas. To test the resulting observations, four GMTs found at the Neolithic site of Vchynice were used as a case study. However, the results of the experiments can be used to study these important artefacts in other geographic and cultural areas. The experiment has yielded several important findings relating to the kinematics of the tools and throws new light on their users. The orientation of the tool relative to the user can be distinguished based on the distribution of the use-wear traces. The study of the archaeological assemblage revealed that substances other than einkorn wheat, which was used for our experimental grinding, were processed on the Neolithic GMTs.
Analysis of Combination of Natural Fiber Bamboo and Rattan Fiber for Alternative Material in Ship Hull
Authors: Putri Ananda Deas
Published: December 2023

The growing public awareness of the environmental atmosphere has triggered a paradigm shift to design composite materials that are environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Composite materials made from natural fibers have been able to replace metal, steel, and wood because of their ease of use and features. Indonesia has a lot of natural fiber potential, one of which is rattan and bamboo fiber which has significant potential for composites. The use of bamboo and rattan fibers as reinforcement in composite materials has increased rapidly and has undergone a high-tech revolution in recent years in response to the increasing demand to develop biodegradable, sustainable and recyclable materials. In this research, a test made from natural fibers was carried out to find out whether the composite was suitable for use as a substitute for fiberglass on ship hulls. The results of the Tensile test for composites reinforced with natural fibers of bamboo and rattan fiber in the 90° fiber direction obtained the average value of the three experiments with a value of 67,41 Mpa and in the 45° fiber direction the average value of the three experiments was obtained with a value of 57,67 Mpa. The results of the bending test for composites reinforced with natural fibers of bamboo and rattan fiber in the 90° fiber direction obtained an average value of the three experiments with a value of 114,64 Mpa and Dan in the 45° fiber direction obtained an average value of the three experiments with a value of 129,93 Mpa.
Analysis of Effect of Propeller Rotational Speed Variations on Torque and Power Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Method
Authors: Dicky Ocza Tama  , Pradisty Daffa Kurnia , Hosea Richard Marbun , Gunawan Gad
Published: December 2023

The speed on the ship is inseparable from a good propeller design in order to get the optimal thrust generated by the propeller motion. The propeller is a very important part in determining the ship's motion. The propeller itself is a tool used to generate thrust that comes from engine power transmitted through the shaft. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a very suitable method for analyzing complex systems that are difficult to solve using manual calculations. With these advantages, CFD is often used to analyze a pattern of a system, one of which is the propeller, which in this study uses variations in flow velocity and propeller speed which can affect the value of the torque and power produced by the propeller.
The Writing of County Histories in Early Modern England
Authors: Rihua Chen
Published: December 2023

The writing of county history in England experienced its first boom from the 1570s to the 1650s, during which time a series of outstanding county histories were written, including William Lambarde’s Perambulation of Kent, William Burton’s Description of Leicestershire and William Dugdale’s Antiquities of Warwickshire. All these works are manifestations of the phenomenon of ‘county history writing by the gentry’. County histories are primarily about local place names and famous persons, but also give accounts related to rivers, mountains, land, architecture, real estate, family clans, regional customs and histories. This essay illustrates the sociocultural phenomenon of ‘county history writing by the gentry’ in the view of the formation of the nation state, and aims to demonstrate the significance and value of the writing of county histories by gentlemen, from the perspective of the ‘community of county gentry’.
Fosco Maraini e la cultura giapponese. Note di lettura
Authors: Tortarolo Edoardo
Published: December 2023

Nel Novecento italiano Fosco Maraini (1912–2004) spicca per la sua forte e creativa personalità di antropologo, fotografo, viaggiatore, alpinista e scrittore. Fattore unificante di queste attività fu il concetto di alterità delle culture, così come questo era stato elaborato dall’antropologia di Boas, Kroeber e Benedict. In particolare nei suoi scritti sul passato e sul presente del Giappone è riscontrabile una visione simpatetica e fondamentalmente essenzialista delle società umane. Formatosi soprattutto sui testi dell’antropologia americana del periodo tra le due guerre, Maraini affrontò una tensione difficilmente risolvibile tra la permanenza delle componenti originarie, che definiscono ogni cultura attraverso i secoli, e l’inarrestabile processo di trasformazione interno indotto dalla modernizzazione.
Re-contextualisation of the Italian Risorgimento in Korea in the Early Twentieth Century. The Example of Chae-Ho Shin’s Three Great Founders of Italy
Authors: Lim Dong-Hyun
Published: December 2023

In 1907, Korean independence activist and nationalist historian Chae-Ho Shin translated the Chinese edition of The Makers of Modern Italy into a Korean–Chinese script and published it under the title Three Great Founders of Italy. This article aims to investigate Chae-Ho Shin’s intentions and purposes, as shown in his Three Great Founders of Italy, to reveal how he re-contextualised the history of the Italian Risorgimento. Chae-Ho Shin’s re-contextualisation was inextricably bound up with the historical setting of the political crisis that Korea faced after the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905.
Afterword. Reflection on the Cultural Causes of War. From the Perspective of Peace Studies
Authors: Abbattista Guido , Liu Cheng , Spiegel Egon
Published: December 2023

Culture, in the broadest sense of the word, is defined as a common or similar form of thinking and acting. In the context of our understanding of peace studies, we are primarily looking for the challenging opportunities of globalisation and the positive possibilities that come with it. Above all, we accept globalisation as a reality—we will not, indeed, we cannot, negate or turn our backs on it. We appreciate the chance to think and act globally as a consequence of global awareness, responsibility and solidarity, regardless of local and regional affinities. Internet activities will develop a worldwide transcultural, transreligious and transnational network that human beings have been dreaming of for a long time. On this basis, the diminution of conflict through non-violence may finally lead to the elimination of war and the creation of a permanent peaceful human community.

Effect of plastic deformation on structure and hardness of carbon steels
Authors: Chudina O.V. , Bringulis P.
Published: December 2023

The microstructure and hardness of pearlitic steels with different carbon content after plastic deformation with different degrees of deformation have been studied. It is shown that with increasing degree of plastic deformation their hardness increases, structural changes are accompanied by grain refinement, crushing of cementite plates and diffusive redistribution of carbon from the surface to depth, as a result of which the steel surface is impoverished with carbon and the main contribution to strengthening of steels is made by grain boundary and dislocation mechanisms.

В работе приведен гематологический состав крови женщин в процессе развития беременности. Оценка результатов исследований показывает, что в период вынашивания плода происходит значительное снижение уровня эритроцитов, гемоглобина, лейкоцитов и существенное увеличение количества лимфоцитов в крови женщин. Так, содержание эритроцитов в крови женщин во втором триместре беременности снизилось до 3,6 млн. в мкл, а исходная величина составила 4,3. Концентрация гемоглобина в середине беременности упала до 110 г/л, а у контрольных женщин составила 131. Уровень лейкоцитов во второй трети беременности вырос до 8,6 тыс. в мкл крови, в последней – до 9,9 тыс. в мкл, а у небеременных составил 6,9. Минимальное количество тромбоцитов – 234 тыс. в мкл содержалось в крови женщин к концу беременности, а максимальное – 251 – в первом триместре. Количество нейтрофилов в крови женщин в последнем триместре беременности выросло до 72,8%, а исходная величина составила 62,4. Разница между максимальным и минимальным содержанием в крови базофилов, эозинофилов и моноцитов между группами составила по 0,2%. Концентрация лимфоцитов во втором и третьем триместре снизилась до 20,1 и 18,6%, а у контрольных женщин составила 29,0.
