Understanding the Skills and Roles of Social Media Manager in Improving Job-Related Performance among SMEs in Australia
Authors: Alateya Abbas Alwan Ghazi , Baskaran Shathees
Published: October 2023

One of the biggest challenges that Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) confront is coming up with the best business plan, which is made possible by a strong social media adoption of modern soft and hard skills. Due to the high rate of failures among SMEs, there has been a substantial investment in research to pinpoint the crucial elements that will ultimately lead to a more successful journey. Several models have also been developed to evaluate the profound impact of the social media manager. However, there is a gap in determining how prepared an SME is to successfully boost performance, and the gap is considerably larger when considering it from the perspective of the absence of intervention from social media managers skills (SMM). The current research suggests a model for evaluating such readiness by interrogating SMM skills. In order to help SMEs to better grasp the foundations that must be laid in order to successfully enhance performance, organisational readiness is introduced as a mediator. From the viewpoint of an employee, this paper suggests a model to position the role of SMEs for upcoming challenges. The organisational readiness evaluation seeks to give SMEs in regional Australia a better understanding of the foundations that must be laid in order to successfully achieve the required increase in performance for SMEs.

Authors: Irfan Naeem , Zahoor Adnan , Khan Nadeem Ullah
Published: October 2023

The study of tree shade on the internal temperature of a building in hot dry climate was examined using a computer – based model. Clear and hazy atmospheric conditions with solar radiation blocked (as if by trees) were considered for the study. Three shading conditions and ten shading regimes were chosen. It was found that tree shading has the most effective impact on the internal temperature of the building if the walls and roof are shaded. Using a regression analysis a test of linearity was conducted to determine the relationship between the internal temperature of a building and an increase in tree shade. It was found that a negative linear relationship exists between the internal temperature and the amount of shade.

Authors: Rahman Mahbubur
Published: October 2023

Oman has an old civilisation and rich culture, juxtaposed on the ancient trade routes. The sea-faring nation has been a melting pot of great civilisations of the Orient, Africa, Arab and West. Along with Oman's topography, climate, and socio-religious-economic context, these exposure and associations influenced its built forms, giving rise to a type of architecture often distinguishable from its neighbours as being Omani. Oman also has a fast growing economy creating a more literate and prosperous population with changed demands and taste. This brought major infrastructure developments and rapid urbanisation in the last three decades, with inevitable effect on the local architecture. Despite calculated steps at the beginning, an alien form overtook the rich traditional architecture. This paper traces the architectural transformations of the last three decades in Oman from a rich traditional style. It highlights some of the reasons responsible for the change. In conclusion, the paper presents some recommendations aimed to positively define the direction the built-form of this emerging nation should take.

La gestión colectiva ¿Continúa transitando por una encrucijada?
Authors: D´Jesús Antonio
Published: October 2023

El Dr. Mihály Ficsor, como presidente del Consejo de Derecho de Autor de Hungría, escribió un artículo publicado por la UNESCO en el año 2003 que tituló «La Gestión Colectiva del Derecho de Autor y los Derechos Conexos en una triple encrucijada: ¿Deberá seguir siendo voluntaria o podría “ampliarse” o establecerse de carácter obligatorio? Esta interrogante continúa sin respuesta en la mayoría de las legislaciones latinoamericanas. La gestión colectiva del derecho patrimonial de autor sigue siendo voluntaria, fundamentada en el ejercicio del derecho de exclusiva que le asiste al autor sobre su obra y, en pocos países, la gestión colectiva del derecho de remuneración o simple remuneración, es de carácter obligatorio; sin embargo, en la presente investigación nos proponemos determinar si los estados latinoamericanos están cumpliendo con sus obligaciones asumidas en las declaraciones y pactos sobre derechos humanos a través de la gestión colectiva voluntaria o, si por el contrario, están en deuda legislativa frente a los nuevas ventanas de explotación de las obras protegidas por el derecho de autor.

Authors: Md Mehedi Hasan
Published: October 2023

This paper aims to explore the unorthodox depictions of native imagery in the selected poems of Kaiser Haq. By employing the literary device of defamiliarization, Haq introduces unconventional representations of indigenous themes, challenging traditional perspectives and inviting readers to reconsider their preconceived notions. Through a detailed analysis of Haq’s selected poems, this study highlights the significance of Viktor Shklovsky’s concept of defamiliarization in revealing alternative dimensions of native imagery. By examining the ways in which Haq’s poetry subverts expectations and unveils unfamiliar aspects, readers gain a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between language, culture, and representation. Ultimately, this research contributes to a broader appreciation of the power of poetic language in reshaping and reimagining indigenous imagery.

Akademik girişimciliğin önemi artmakla beraber akademik girişimciliği belirleyen faktörler üzerine olan araştırmaların gerekliliği devam etmektedir. Bu sebeple, mevcut çalışma akademik girişimcilik niyeti ile belirleyici faktörler arasındaki ilişkiyi gelişmekte olan bir ülke ve şehir özelinde incelemektedir. Bu araştırmanın başlıca amacı akademisyenlerin girişimcilik niyetlerine etki eden bireysel (psikolojik faktörler, insan sermayesi ve sosyal sermaye) ve çevresel (iş ortamı, pazar ve bilgi engelleri) faktörleri analiz etmektir. Akademik girişimcilik literatüründeki bilgiler ışığında mevcut çalışma bütünsel bir perspektifle bireysel ve çevresel faktörleri bir arada incelemektedir. Araştırma 2022 yılında Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa Üniversitesi bünyesinde fakültelerde görev yapan 348 akademik personel ile yüz yüze anket yöntemi uygulanarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre yaratıcılık, algılanan fayda ve kendine güven gibi psikolojik faktörlerin, girişimcilik üzerine aldığı eğitimi ve deneyimi içeren insan sermayesinin ve çevreleriyle iletişimi ve yakın bağlarını içeren sosyal sermayenin girişimcilik niyeti üzerinde pozitif yönde anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu saptanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında ele alınan çevresel faktörlerden olan, olumlu iş ortamının ve pazar engellerinin akademisyenlerin girişimcilik niyetine anlamlı etkisi görülmezken, bilgi engellerinin girişimcilik niyeti üzerinde negatif ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Published: October 2023

Copyright infringement is known as the use of copyrighted works without the permission of the creators, copyright holders or authors. It is a form of dishonesty and a violation of the authors' economic and exclusive rights. In general, copyright infringement activities have taken place in various ways such as theft, piracy, reuse and plagiarism among students pursuing degree programmes in higher education institutions in Sri Lanka. In this backdrop, this study aims to examine awareness of copyright infringement among students pursuing undergraduate degree programmes at state universities in Sri Lanka. The primary and secondary data have been used in the study. The primary data were collected by Self-Administered Questionnaires (SAQ) distributed to 356 of the selected participants. Selected students are continuing their education in 2016/2017, 2017/2018, 2018/2019 and 2019/2020, including general and honours degree programmes. The samples were selected based on Random Sampling Method (RSM). All received questionnaires were analysed in a descriptive way with the help of SPSS (Version-26) and the results were presented by illustrating in the form of tables. According to the results, it was found that 58.1% of participants were not aware that copyright infringement as an academic dishonesty, as well as copyright law (Intellectual Property Act No.36 of 2003) which is enforced by Sri Lankan government in order to protect intellectual properties. 77.4% of the participants proved that copyright infringement is a kind of prohibited act in their own religion (Islam, Buddhism, Christianity and Hinduism). Moreover, the main factors that lead to copyright infringement of study samples were a lack of awareness of copyright law (38%), the high cost of textbooks (64.6%), and the fear of having low greats in semester examinations (77.4%). The findings of present study would be important to stimulate academics, library personnel, university officials, and policymakers to think of ways to prevent the students from engaging in copyright infringements in future. Moreover, it is a firm belief of the researchers that findings of this study could be a remarkable starting point for future researchers.

INTRODUCTION: Cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is the standard of care for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) undergoing radical cystectomy (RC). Cisplatin, however, can induce renal toxicity. Furthermore, RC is an independent risk factor for renal injury, with decreases in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of up to 6 mL/min/1.73 m2 reported at one year postoperatively. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of cisplatin-based NAC and RC on the renal function of patients undergoing both.
METHODS: We analyzed a multicenter database of patients with MIBC, all of whom received cisplatin-based NAC prior to RC. eGFR values were collected at time points T1 (before NAC), T2 (after NAC but before RC), and T3 (one year post-RC). eGFR and proportion of patients with eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2 (chronic kidney disease [CKD] stage ≥3) were compared between these time points. As all patients in this dataset had received NAC, we identified a retrospective cohort of patients from one institution who had undergone RC during the same time period without NAC for context.
RESULTS: We identified 234 patients with available renal function data. From T1 to T3, there was a mean decline in eGFR of 17% (13 mL/min/1.73 m2) in the NAC cohort and an increase in proportion of patients with stage ≥3 CKD from 27% to 50%. The parallel cohort of patients who did not receive NAC was comprised of 236 patients. The mean baseline eGFR in this cohort was lower than in the NAC cohort (66 vs. 75 mL/min/1.73 m2). The mean eGFR decline in this non-NAC cohort from T1 to T3 was 6% (4 mL/ min/1.73 m2), and the proportion of those with stage ≥3 CKD increased from 37% to 51%.
CONCLUSIONS: Administration of NAC prior to RC was associated with a 17% decline in eGFR and a nearly doubled incidence of stage ≥3 CKD at one year after RC. Patients who underwent RC without NAC had a higher rate of stage ≥3 CKD at baseline but appeared to have less renal function loss at one year.

El espejismo de la percepción duplicada del complemento de maternidad por ambos progenitores por aplicación de la DT 33ª del TRLGSS.
Authors: Ballester Pastor Inmaculada
Published: October 2023

El RDL 3/2021 incorpora en la DT 33ª del TRLGSS un precepto que fija las reglas referidas a la compatibilidad entre el complemento por aportación demográfica y el complemento por brecha de género, de manera que se obliga a minorar en su cuantía uno de los estos dos complementos cuando comienza a percibirse el otro. El Alto Tribunal entiende que esta previsión es aplicable en el supuesto que aquí aparece; en cambio, el Voto particular que incorpora el pronunciamiento sostiene lo contrario, por cuanto el hecho causante del complemento minorado es anterior al RDL 3/2021.

RDL 3/2021 incorporates in its DT 33 a precept that requires the reduction of the maternity supplement due to the demographic contribution that would be received if the other parent is later recognized with the supplement due to the gender gap. The High Court resolves that, in the particular case discussed here, the supplement must reduce its amount, but the dissenting opinion that incorporates the ruling maintains the opposite, since the causative event predates RDL 3/2021.

In many countries of the world, development institutions play a crucial role in implementing the social and economic policy of the state. They are tasked with fostering economic growth, facilitating modernization of the economy, and addressing urgent social issues. Outside the financial realm, however, universities play the key role of development institutions by providing invaluable expertise to government bodies, businesses, NGOs, social entrepreneurs, and local communities alike.

To delve into today’s potential of universities and their evolving role as development  institutions, we sat down with Artem Shadrin, Director of the Institute of Socio­-Economic  Design at the National Research University Higher School of Economics.
