Published: September 2023

Issues of entrepreneurial intentions often center on challenges related to the self-efficacy of entrepreneurs and the support provided by the family environment for entrepreneurship education among university students. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of entrepreneurship education, family environment, and entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intention among undergraduate students at private universities in Surabaya. An inferential research design was used in this study. Because the data was obtained at one point in time, this research is cross-sectional. The scientific study was conducted on a sample of undergraduate students from private higher education institutions in Surabaya. These participants were selected due to their involvement in entrepreneurial activities. In this study, 377 students agreed to participate and completed the questionnaire. Entrepreneurship education and the family environment have a strong beneficial impact on entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial ambition. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy is able to influence entrepreneurial intention in a favorable and substantial way. This research examined the impact of entrepreneurship education and family environment on entrepreneurial intention but did not look at entrepreneurial behavior, particularly how people start new businesses. As a result of the findings of this study, future research will provide a conceptual framework for evaluating entrepreneurship education providers across the board. This research intends to use a mixture of environmental and internal characteristics to assess entrepreneurial propensity.

Authors: Christina Enge , Irianto Jusuf
Published: September 2023

The quality of human resources (HR) determines the success of an organization, both large and small. HR plays a role in planning, implementing and controlling the organization. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether there is an influence: 1) authentic leadership on satisfaction; 2) organizational culture on satisfaction; 3) authentic leadership on employee performance; 4) organizational culture on employee performance; 5) satisfaction not on employee performance; 6) authentic leadership on performance through employee satisfaction; and 7) organizational culture on performance through employee satisfaction. The study was conducted using probability sampling, with data collected from respondents consisting of employees at various levels and departments at Satoria Pharma. Using Slovin's calculation, the sample was found to be 75 respondents taken from a total of 300 employees. The research used a quantitative approach with the following results: 1) authentic leadership affects satisfaction; 2) organizational culture affects satisfaction; 3) authentic leadership affects employee performance; 4) organizational culture affects employee performance; 5) satisfaction has no effect on employee performance; 6) authentic leadership has no effect on performance through employee satisfaction; and 7) organizational culture has no effect on performance through employee satisfaction. The results of this research shed light on the factors that impact employee satisfaction and organizational performance in the pharmaceutical industry. The practical implication of this study highlights the significance of cultivating genuine leadership and fostering a positive company culture. Managers and professionals within pharmaceutical companies should prioritize the qualities associated with authentic leadership, such as providing a clear vision and guidance, practising integrity, actively listening to and empathizing with employees, and fostering a sense of unity in the workplace. Furthermore, companies should strive to establish an organizational culture that places value on positive corporate ethics, encourages and supports employee growth and development, and promotes social norms that align with these values.

Blow-Up: Modern Sinema Estetiğinde Gerçeklik İdesi
Authors: Ertan Erdil Levent
Published: September 2023

Bu çalışma, sinemada gerçeklik fenomenini fotoğrafik görüntü üzerinden yola çıkarak, modern sinema estetiğinin katmanlı yapısıyla incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Blow-Up (Cinayeti Gördüm, 1966) sinemanın ne olduğu yönünde sorular sor(dur)an, aygıt üzerine düşün(dür)en ve imgenin yanılsamalı yapısını irdeleyen bir eser olarak önem kazanır. Bu bağlam çerçevesinde algının doğası ve gerçekliğin görsel boyutuna odaklanan film, çok katmanlı gerçeklik olgusunun hem fotoğraf hem de sinema açısından tartışılmasına müsait bir yapıttır. Filmin gerçeklik kavramını merkezine alması makalenin felsefi analiz yöntemi aracılığıyla incelenmesini gerekli kılmaktadır. Diğer eleştiri türlerinden farklı olarak felsefi çözümleme yönteminin ereği, eseri odağına alarak onun iletisini sorgula(t)maktır. Blow-Up filmini çözümlemek, gerçeklik olgusuna dair önemli izleklere erişebilme imkânı tanımıştır. Sonuç olarak yapılan çalışmanın bulgularına göre; modern özne ile gerçeklik arasındaki ilişkinin sorgulandığı filmde, yönetmenin "yeni-gerçekçi" tanımlamasına niteliksel olarak uyum gösterdiği çıkarımına ulaşılmıştır. Eserin, hem klasik stille özdeşleşmiş konvansiyonel anlatı normları hem de açık uçlu imaj kullanımları ve muğlak olay örgüleriyle tanımlanan modern sinemaya ait kodları barındırdığı saptanmıştır. Yönetmenin, kurmacaya gerçeklik izlenimi taşıyan bir rol atfetmek yerine gerçekliğin doğasının kurgusallıktan oluştuğunu vurguladığı; dolayısıyla bu durum seyirci nezdinde gerçeklik fenomenini kurmaca bir olgu olarak deneyimlemesine yol açtığı tespit edilmiştir. Filmin gerçeklik kavramı üzerinden incelenmesi yapıtın daha derinlikli bir şekilde kavranmasına ve esere ait estetik değerlerin felsefi eleştirisinin gerçekleştirilmesine uygun bir perspektif sağlamıştır
Immunohistochemical Alterations of Syndecan-1 in Sheep Liver with Cystic Echinococcosis
Authors: Yumuşak Nihat
Published: September 2023

Cystic echinococcosis is formed by the larval forms of Echinococcus granulosus, causes health problems in humans and different species of animals worldwide. There is still limited information about the pathophysiological response to cystic echinococcosis in the liver. Syndecan-1 (Sdc1) is a cell surface proteoglycan of the liver. It has a crucial role in the pathophysiology of various liver diseases. This study aimed to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of Sdc1 in the liver with cystic echinococcosis in sheep. A total number of 51 liver tissue samples with cystic echinococcosis and ten healthy livers were examined. The tissue samples were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) for histopathological examinations. Sdc1 was determined in the same liver tissues by immunohistochemistry. Infected liver tissues mainly showed severe inflammatory reactions, congestion, diffuse degeneration, and necrosis of hepatocytes around the cysts. The results indicated severe Sdc1-positive staining in hepatocytes around the cysts. Liver tissues of the control group showed relatively mild immunopositive reactions. This study determined that the Sdc1 significantly increased in the sheep livers with cystic echinococcosis infection.
Emergent Insights into Cultural Dynamics: Advancing Acculturation Research through a Complexity Lens
Authors: Abacioglu Ceren Su , Phalet Karen , Larsen Helle
Published: September 2023

Despite acknowledging the relational, dynamic, differentiated, and situated nature of acculturation (i.e., cultural change and learning), existing models and approaches for studying acculturation tend to minimise the dynamism and interconnection that are inherent to the process. Converging methodologi- cal tools that approximate the complex reality of acculturation without restricting from its dynamic and interconnected nature can therefore help us gain a more complete understanding of the process and mechanisms of change. That said, we contend that the discipline can benefit from a theoretical and methodological expansion towards a complex dynamic systems (CDS) approach to the study of acculturation. Understanding how the funda- mental assumptions of CDS translate to the characteristics of the acculturation process is crucial to the goal of this paper, as is understanding how these assumptions support the adoption of designs and methods that can alter our expectations about the nature of the processes being studied in acculturation research. To that purpose, we give an overview of the features that are frequently discussed in complex dynamic systems research, present our own model of acculturation as a complex dynamic system and how it can be approached using complexity-informed methods. Finally, we discuss the empirical, theoretical, and societal implications of using a complexity lens.

Equilibrium statistical mechanics in two dimensions and beyond (Chapter 7)
Authors: Zuckerman Daniel
Published: September 2023

This chapter introduces multi-dimensional statistical mechanics using the simplest square-well examples. From these, the concepts of free energy and entropy are quantified, highlighting similarities and differences from one dimension. Projections from higher to lower dimensions which lead to free-energy landscapes, are described and critically evaluated. Ultimately, multi-particle systems are discussed focusing on the ideal gas. Extending to a two-gas system enables discussion of free-energy minimization and nonequilibrium driving for biomolecular systems.
Reevaluating the oxidation effect of garnet crystallization
Authors: Tang Ming , Wang Jiazhen , Lee Cin-Ty
Published: September 2023

Garnet has been proposed to be an important fractionating phase during magmatic differentiation in thick volcanic arcs because garnet fractionation can reproduce the hallmarks of continental crust by driving residual magmas to higher silica, lower total iron, and higher iron oxidation states. Recently authors have measured the partition coefficients for Fe2+ and Fe3+ between garnet and melt and concluded that garnet crystallization has little influence on arc magma oxidation. However, these conclusions are based on conceptual errors in modeling the effects of garnet. First, their models intentionally limited the extent of fractionation to minimize the effect of garnet fractionation, inconsistent with existing experiments, including their own experiments. Second, Fe2+ partitioning was indirectly and incorrectly parameterized using Fe-Mg exchange coefficients, inconsistent with experimental partition coefficients. Application of these recent models leads to unrealistic Fe2+ partitioning behavior with progressive fractionation. When these models are corrected with proper mass balance and partitioning relationships, garnet as a driver of oxidation remains a viable and testable hypothesis.
Using convex optimization to efficiently apportion tracer and pollutant sources from point concentration observations
Authors: Barnes Richard , Lipp Alex
Published: September 2023

Rivers transport elements, minerals, chemicals, and pollutants produced in their upstream basins. A sample from a river is a mixture of all of its upstream sources, making it challenging to pinpoint the contribution from each individual source. Here, we show how a nested sample design and convex optimization can be used to efficiently unmix downstream samples of a well-mixed, conservative tracer into the contributions of their upstream sources. Our approach is significantly faster than previous methods. We represent the river's sub-catchments, defined by sampling sites, using a directed acyclic graph. This graph is used to build a convex optimization problem which, thanks to its convexity, can be quickly solved to global optimality---in under a second on desktop hardware for datasets of $\sim$100 samples or fewer. Uncertainties in the upstream predictions can be generated using Monte Carlo resampling. We provide an open-source implementation of this approach in Python. The inputs required are straightforward: a table containing sample locations and observed tracer concentrations, along with a D8 flow-direction raster map. As a case study, we use this method to map the elemental geochemistry of sediment sources for rivers draining the Cairngorms mountains, UK. This method could be extended to non-conservative and non-steady state tracers. We also show, theoretically, how multiple tracers could be simultaneously inverted to recover upstream run-off or erosion rates as well as source concentrations. Overall, this approach can provide valuable insights to researchers in various fields, including water quality, geochemical exploration, geochemistry, hydrology, and wastewater epidemiology.
Vowel-hyperarticulation in Infant-directed Speech: A Multi-method Meta-analysis
Authors: Lovcevic Irena , Benders Titia , Tsuji Sho , Fusaroli Riccardo
Published: September 2023

There is a long-standing debate about the extent to which vowel hyperarticulation, the production of acoustically exaggerated vowels, occurs in Infant-Directed Speech (IDS). This exaggeration has been argued to result in clearer speech sounds that are easier for infants to process and might be positively related to infants’ linguistic outcomes. However, previous findings regarding the presence of vowel hyperarticulation in IDS are seemingly inconsistent and contradictory, making it hard to advance our understanding of the role of hyperarticulation in language development and consequently the potential functions/roles of IDS in language acquisition. Thus, we adopted a systematic review and meta-analytic approach to investigate the robustness of vowel hyperarticulation in IDS and identify sources of heterogeneity in the literature. We employed four complementary meta-analytic approaches and evaluated the robustness of results across the different choices. We performed both traditional (Frequentist) and Bayesian meta-analyses on, first, methodologically consistent studies (20 studies, 42 effect sizes), and then, all studies of vowel hyperarticulation in IDS irrespective of the method (35 studies, 80 effect sizes). Findings indicate the presence of vowel hyperarticulation in IDS compared to ADS (effect sizes ranging from 0.41 to 0.69), as well as systematic and unsystematic variability due to e.g., cross-linguistic variability and methods employed, making it difficult to identify specific factors associated with stronger vowel hyperarticulation. The quantitative results combined with systematic review of the literature also enables important methodological insights, which we summarize into recommended practices such as enlarging sample sizes and explicitly incorporating sources of heterogeneity in analyses.
When sustainability aligns with adolescent motives: Development and validation of the Sustainability Motive-Alignment Scale (SMAS)
Authors: Grapsas Stathis , van de Wetering Judith , Spitzer Jenna , Poorthuis Astrid M. G. , Thomaes Sander
Published: September 2023

NOTE: After peer review, the manuscript was revised, resubmitted, and published. The publication is available open access at: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10888691.2023.2260748 . Please refer to the published article. The sustainability motive-alignment hypothesis posits that adolescents will be internally motivated to act sustainably when they view sustainable behavior as aligned with their motives for autonomy and peer status. Based on this hypothesis, we developed the Sustainability Motive-Alignment Scale (SMAS), a brief self-report scale of individual differences in sustainability motive-alignment. In four studies across two relatively individualistic (U.S., Netherlands) and two relatively collectivistic countries (China, Colombia), the SMAS was reliable and valid as a single-factor scale; somewhat culturally variant, suggesting cultural differences in adolescents’ construals of sustainability motive-alignment (Study 2); and positively associated with measures of sustainable attitudes, norms, self-efficacy, behavior, and climate change knowledge (Studies 3 and 4). Thus, sustainability motive-alignment can be assessed as a conceptually distinct psychological dimension underlying adolescents’ sustainable tendencies. We hope that our brief, psychometrically sound instrument will spark developmentally informed research on the psychological underpinnings of adolescent sustainability.
Category-specific and system-wide preferences in competition: Evidence from noun phrase harmony
Authors: Holtz Annie , Culbertson Jennifer , Kirby Simon
Published: September 2023

Typological data show a tendency for languages to exhibit harmonic (i.e. consistent) ordering between heads and dependents. Previous experimental work using artificial language learning experiments has shown that learners prefer harmonic patterns. This suggests that the typological trend for harmony may, at least in part, be driven by a cognitive bias. However, it is well-documented that specific categories sometimes contradict this tendency. Here we investigate one such case in the domain of the noun phrase. While many nominal dependents exhibit harmony, adjectives and genitives do not: adjectives tend to follow the noun and genitives tend to precede. Previous experiments have identified the existence of cognitive biases that keep these dependents split across the head noun in contexts where there is no conventional language system in place. In this study we use a silent gesture experiment to examine whether the specific biases that apply to these two dependent types compete with a general preference for harmony in an artificial language learning task. Specifically, we examine whether participants' learning behaviour is consistent with a preference not just for harmony, but for a non-harmonic order where adjectives follow and genitives precede the noun. What we find instead is that participants preference for harmony is not modulated by category-specific biases for prenominal genitives and postnominal adjectives. Thus when participants are learning a conventionalised system, the general bias in favour of harmony overrides category-specific preferences. We discuss the implications of this finding for explanations of typological tendencies which link them to cognitive biases.
Three Comments in Case of a Structural Turn in Consciousness Science
Authors: Kleiner Johannes
Published: September 2023

Recent activities in virtually all fields engaged in consciousness studies indicate early signs of a structural turn, where verbal descriptions or simple formalisations of conscious experiences are replaced by structural tools, most notably mathematical spaces. My goal here is to offer three comments that, in my opinion, are essential to avoid misunderstandings in these developments early on. These comments concern metaphysical premises of structuralist approaches, overlooked assumptions in regard to isomorphisms, and the question of what structure to consider on the side of consciousness in the first place. I will also explain what, in my opinion, are the great promises of a structuralist methodology and how they might impact consciousness science at large.
Diversity assent: Conceptualisation and an empirical application
Authors: Harris Eloisa , Schönwälder Karen , Petermann Sören , Vertovec Steven
Published: September 2023

Recent evidence suggests that in many European countries generally positive views about societal diversity predominate. Yet, as research has rather focused on negative attitudes towards immigration and diversity, less is known about positive attitudes and those who hold them. The paper makes a conceptual and an empirical contribution to filling this gap. We introduce a new concept, “diversity assent”, distinct from existing approaches, that captures residents’ attitudes to a diverse society. This concept is multidimensional, to capture both evaluations of diversity and attitudes towards institutional adjustments. The concept is then tested and applied to the German urban population, drawing from a large, purpose-built survey. We demonstrate that, while assent differs for the two dimensions, a sizeable majority of those who evaluate diversity positively also agree with representing diversity in official policy and institutions. We use descriptive and multivariate analyses to compare assenters and non-assenters as well as different groups within the assenters. Our analysis illustrates that different social and political factors drive support for the two dimensions of diversity assent.
Label to match - Firms’ signaling decisions when not everyone cares
Authors: Fritz Qi Gao
Published: September 2023

In this paper, I propose a model to investigate firms’ signaling decisions on the product level. By seeking (imperfect) third-party certification, firms can label their products with good quality for which only some consumers care. Combining the signaling game with a matching problem, I am able to investigate the impact of the size of conscious consumers and asymmetric firm size on firms’ signaling decisions. In general, the level of certification costs determines the occurrence of different equilibria. While more conscious buyers unambiguously increase the probability of separating and semi-separating equilibria, the effect on the pooling equilibrium is not that straightforward. Asymmetric firm size negatively influences the occurrences of all equilibria. However, product allocation schemes play an important role in such negative effects.
Various Methods of Strengthening Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joint Subjected Earthquake-Type Loading Using Fibre-Reinforced Polymers: A Critical Review
Authors: Ridwan Ridwan , Jemaa Yaser , Yuniarto Enno
Published: September 2023

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are extensively employed in concrete technology due to their exceptional mechanical strength and durability.  They serve a dual purpose, not only reinforcing damaged elements but also supporting heavier service loads and addressing long-term concerns in new infrastructure projects. Consequently, the objective of this review is to establish a comprehensive research database that focuses on evaluating the strengthening behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints (BCJ) under earthquake loads through diverse types and application methods of FRP composites. The efficacy of these strengthening techniques is assessed by considering factors such as the loading capacity and dissipated energy of RC BCJ versus the joint confinement index provided by the fibre in the joint area. Through this state-of-the-art review, it becomes evident that FRP composites effectively enhanced the normalized load of specimens up to 27 kN/?MPa and enhanced the dissipated energy until 558.6 kN-mm for the case of specimens with a lower confinement index, less than 0.3. Additionally, the specimen strengthened with the deep embedment (DE) method resulted in a moderate normalized load and dissipated energy compared to those strengthened with the external bonded (EB) method. The test results indicated that the average normalized load and dissipated energy of the DE-strengthening method was 93% and 28.5% compared to that of the EB-strengthening method. These findings reveal that FRP composites offer distinct advantages in terms of load capacity and dissipated energy when used for strengthening earthquake-affected RC BCJ. Finally, based on the compilation of the previous works, this research proposes several techniques for utilizing FRP composites to enhance RC BCJ subjected to earthquake load.

Published: September 2023

Implant is becoming the most appropriate option nowadays for replacement of single or multiple missing teeth which offers the predictable long-term results. Continuous innovations in implant design and approaches for placement have been proposed to achieve good osseointegration, esthetics and predictable soft tissue contour. Soft tissue level (STL) implants are placed trans-mucosally with platform away from alveolar bone crest so the microbial deposits in the micro-gap at implant abutment connection has less effect on alveolar bone. This type of implant has a rough surface placed subcrestally to facilitate osseointegration and a polished coronal part to facilitate soft tissue adaptation. This case report highlights about soft tissue level implant, its advantages and clinical success on replacing single missing posterior tooth.

The objective of this study is to determine to what extent the Photovoice method can build students’ confidence in facing public speaking anxiety. In this study, Photovoice was able to help students toward speaking in many aspects such as, enthusiasm improvement, eye contact and body language adeptness, critical thinking and also fluency. Speaking skill is essential in language learning and teaching process because the goal of learning as foreign language is able to communicate using the target language. However, most of EFL students tend to be more nervous if they speak English, and this will impact their other proficiencies. This case study involved approximately 2 students at second grade of language major of MAN 1 Kendari. To collect the data from the research, there were three kinds of instruments such as, rubric of public speaking to measure the level of students’ self-confidence, classroom observation and students’ reflection. The result can be seen through students’ marking scheme that showed both participants getting score 47 and 72 at the first performance, 71 and 80 at the second one, 100 and 100 at the last one and students’ reflection that indicate S1 and S2 have been influenced positively in terms of their self-confidence by using Photovoice. From classroom observation side, students’ improvements were seen by teaching activities and video recorder that was taken during research.
