<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Economic collaboration among Southeast European countries and the establishment of free trade with the European Union are seen as potential drivers for regional development. However, given the region's intricate political landscape and historical challenges, achieving these objectives faces hurdles stemming from political and historical complexities. In an effort to fortify regional ties, the European Union has provided support through mechanisms such as Bilateral Free Trade Agreements, Generalized Trade Preferences, and the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) of 2006. Since the inception of the CEFTA agreement in 2006, the Free Trade Agreement has emerged as a pivotal catalyst in enhancing international trade in Southeastern Europe. It has played a crucial role in fostering economic integration, streamlining trade processes, boosting regional trade volumes, and establishing a cohesive economic zone that appeals to foreign direct investors and facilitates the mobility of professional service providers. Over the past fifteen years, intra-regional trade has experienced significant growth, accompanied by a rising proportion of trade occurring within the region. The liberalization of trade within CEFTA has not only stimulated market competition but has also spurred integration across various sectors and industries in the region. Furthermore, it has acted as a catalyst for foreign direct investment, both from external sources and within the region itself.

Authors: Kuliš Zlatica , Avdić Dževad
Published: February 2024

Geotechnical soil tests in order to achieve the best possible performance of new buildings or rehabilitation of existing buildings occupy one of the leading places in construction. Due to the lack of investigative work, a large number of buildings are exposed to danger. In order not to have bad effects on buildings in the future, it is necessary to minimize ground subsidence. Testing of the compressibility modulus / determination of the compressibility modulus is performed during the construction of roads, railways, buildings, parking lots and embankments, on the foundation soil, replacement layers, bedding and embankment layers and buffer. The purpose of the test is to ensure that, due to insufficiently compacted layers during installation, they do not settle after some time, as well as cracking of the floor in the building, deterioration of part of the building, deterioration of the pavement structure of roads and parking lots (potholes), etc. A circular plate is the name for an instrument used to test the compressibility module of a building's foundation. A dynamic test with a falling weight plate enables simpler and faster testing and immediate results.

Published: February 2024

O Cambuí é uma fruteira nativa do Estado de Alagoas, com distribuição natural nas restingas arenosas do litoral sul, sofrendo grande risco de extinção devido à exploração irracional nos locais onde ocorrem. Seus frutos são muito apreciados tanto de forma “in natura” como processados na forma de doces, sorvetes, sucos, geleias e licores, além disso, eles são comercializados em barracas de beira de estradas, feiras livres e mercados municipais, pelas populações dos locais onde ocorrem, tornando-se importante fonte de renda. Este trabalho teve como objetivo conhecer a composição bioquímico-nutricional de frutos de diferentes acessos de cambuizeiro nativos do Estado de Alagoas. Na caracterização físico-química da polpa foi determinada a acidez total, pH e sólidos solúveis (°Brix). Os genótipos apresentaram características físico-químicas dentro dos padrões exigidos pelas indústrias de processamento, ou seja, frutos com baixa acidez e alto teor de sólidos solúveis. Na quantificação dos compostos bioativos foi analisado o conteúdo de pectina total, pectina solúvel, antocianinas, flavonoides e também a atividade antioxidante total. Para a análise dos dados foi realizada uma estatística descritiva. Os resultados demonstraram que os frutos apresentam quantidades significativas de substâncias pécticas quando comparados com outros frutos nativos. Em relação aos compostos fenólicos, antocianinas e flavonoides, os acessos apresentaram valores relevantes. O acesso roxo foi o que apresentou maior capacidade antioxidante em meio alcoólico. A espécie analisada neste estudo apresentou variabilidade dentro dos parâmetros avaliados, no entanto, é uma fonte potencial de compostos bioativos, que pode fazer parte da dieta da população como alimento funcional, bem como viabilizar a agregação de valor aos frutos produzidos na região.

Published: February 2024

The effect of chemical nitrogen (N) and sulphur (S) fertilizers, as well as a growth regulator, was studied on quantitative and qualitative traits of canola cv. â€˜Hyola 401â€™ as a second crop in paddy fields in Baz Kia Gurab located in Lahijan, Guilan province, Iran in 2021-2022 in a split-plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. The experimental factors included a growth regulator (Shootex) at two rates of 0 or 200 mg/L as the main plot and pure N fertilizer at four levels of 0, 90, 180, or 270 kg/L (from a urea source containing 46% N) and S fertilizer at three levels of 0, 35, or 70 kg/ha (from an ammonium sulphate source containing 24% S and 12% N) as the subplot. The results showed that the highest seed and oil yields (4081 and 1135 kg/ha, respectively) were obtained from the treatment of the growth regulator, 270 kg/ha N, and 70 kg/ha S, and the lowest (1086 and 368 kg/ha, respectively) from the treatment of the growth regulator, no N fertilizer, and 70 kg/ha S. To achieve the best results, the use of vegetative growth regulator, nitrogen and sulphur fertilizers, 270 and 70 kg/ha each, is recommended for rapeseed in the growing conditions of the region.
Communication Participatory in Community Empowerment Programs at the Indonesia-Papua New Guinea Border
Authors: Sulistiani Indah , Syarifuddin Syarifuddin
Published: February 2024

Participatory communication will occur if in its implementation it takes into account the characteristics of the community based on their potential and local wisdom. This research examines how participatory communication is implemented in community empowerment programs on the Indonesia-Papua New Guinea border. The results of the research explain that community empowerment program communication has not been fully carried out in a participatory manner with dialogue that involves the full support of the community. Government support in building communication participation has been implemented, but not all people at the border can feel it. The characteristics of the community on the Indonesia-Papua New Guinea border are relatively low, as can be seen from the low level of education, income level, access to communication and low access to information. Government support has not been optimal in terms of access to information on community empowerment programs at the border.
Globalization, Human Rights And Colombian Armed Conflict
Authors: García María Stephania Aponte , Arteaga Sonia Sánchez
Published: February 2024

This article examines the interaction between globalization, human rights and armed conflict. It highlights the positive impact of globalization on the global diffusion of human rights and how this interconnection contributes to the awareness and protection of these rights. Additionally, the relationship between globalization and international development is addressed, with debates about whether it actually reduces inequality and poverty or reinforces existing power structures. In the context of armed conflicts, the transformation of the Colombian conflict due to economic openness and how globalization provides opportunities for illegal economies is explored. The article emphasizes the need to integrate economic and political aspects in peace interventions. Additionally, conflict theories are examined, pointing to a shift from the Cold War toward internal conflicts. A broader vision of war is proposed that considers multiple factors, such as actors, development of the conflict, motivations and economic dimensions. In the analysis of civil wars, different currents are discussed, highlighting the economic perspective that suggests that the search for economic benefits can overcome political motivations in armed conflicts.

Authors: H V Dr. Vinay , Rao Dr. Divya , R M Chethan Kumar , Rao Dr. G V Kesava , R M Mahadevaswamy
Published: February 2024

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of demographic factors (Gender, age, marital status, educational qualification, occupation, investment experience) related to emotional behavioral biases of the individual (retail) investors of Indian stock market.

Design/methodology/approach

The study uses analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test analysis to examine the survey data from more than 350 investors in India.

Findings

The results reveal the presence of different emotional behavioral biases including Loss Aversion Bias, Overconfidence Bias, Self-control Bias, Mental Accounting Bias and Herd Behavior Bias among Indian investors. Hence, the findings support the view that individual investors do act as irrational and individual investors are exposed to the behavioral biases. The results shows that martial status, educational qualification and investment experience has a impact on all the selected emotional behavioral biases, but no significant relation with the gender and age demographic variables to emotional behavioral biases.  

Research limitations/implications

The study may have implications for financial educated investors in promoting the financial awareness program for individuals. Investment advisors can potentially become more effective by understanding their clients’ decision-making processes in investment.

Originality/value

Despite an extensive literature on behavioral biases with reference to emotional biases, limited academic research attempts to unravel the association and effect of demographic factors on emotional behavioral biases. This study contributes to this literature by trying to fill this gap.
PRISÃO PARA ALÉM DA FRONTEIRA FÍSICA, FAZ-SE FRONTEIRA AFETIVA
Authors: Chaves Karine Belmond
Published: February 2024

O Brasil é um país com uma das maiores populações carcerárias do mundo e embora seja de conhecimento geral a falência da prisão, o aprisionamento ainda continua sendo utilizado como estratégia de punição e controle da criminalidade. Este texto revisita as funções e o funcionamento das prisões, retomando referências clássicas da temática, apresentando a prisão, de modo geral vista como instituição de controle dos corpos, que separa as pessoas elencadas como “infratores” ou “criminosos” e que, por sua própria estrutura, afasta-os do convívio de outras pessoas sob a justificativa de proteção social. Entretanto, também os afasta daqueles que consideram seus “entes queridos”, portanto, fazendo fronteira afetiva que impede ou limita a interação dos mesmos, compreendidas muitas vezes como figuras importantes no processo de reintegração social. Através da comunicação que se estabelece por carta/  correspondência e visitação (de forma presencial ou virtual), o contato familiar é possível e é por meio desses recursos, que os vínculos afetivos são mantidos, contribuindo para a diminuição do sofrimento e para a reintegração social. Conclui-se que, na existência ainda da prisão, esta pode se estabelecer como fronteira permeável, permitindo o fluxo, o contato com pessoas que sejam figuras afetivas, mesmo que selecionadas, preservando assim vínculos essenciais para o desenvolvimento humano.

Published: February 2024

The present study has been conducted to study the effect of various primer treatments i.e., PEG (5%), PEG (10%), NaCl (2%), KCl (2%), CuSO4•5H2O (2%), NaOH (2%) and control on germination and growth of two okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) varieties (var. Arka Anamika and Clemson). Growth parameters were measured at 10, 20, and 30 DAS, while germination parameters were recorded over a period of seven days. Compared to Arka Anamika, Clemson showed better germination and growth metrics, which also showed significant differences in seed priming treatments. The use of different concentrations of PEG solution for seed priming proved to be particularly effective as evidenced by the highest germination percentage (79%), speed (95.95%), energy (76%), and Vigor index (2037.94 cm). Growth parameters also showed significant differences with these treatments. Similarly, seed priming with 2% NaOH and 2% CuSO4•5H2O had the lowest results for growth and germination metrics. The results highlight how priming can significantly improve the germination and growth of okra seedlings; the Clemson and PEG solution treatments stand out as particularly successful techniques. This highlights the potential for improved okra production through the use of these priming methods.

Authors: Abdurrauf  , Yunus Nurrohim , Selian Muhammad Ali Hanafiah
Published: February 2024

This article examines the authority of religious court institutions to resolve sharia conflicts. The primary function of religious court institutions is to resolve sharia disputes, provide legal protection, guide society, and oversee the implementation of Islamic law in society. However, religious court institutions still have limitations, such as a lack of expert staff, adequate facilities, and infrastructure, as well as a lack of public comprehension of the procedures for resolving disputes in religious court institutions. This study employs qualitative research methods with a focus on the literature and statutory regulations. According to the research findings, several alternative solutions can be proposed, such as increasing the quality and quantity of human resources, utilizing information technology, and cooperating with other institutions more closely. To increase the competence of religious court institutions, the government and society must improve the quality of human resources, provide adequate facilities and infrastructure, and raise public awareness of the procedures for resolving disputes in religious court institutions.

A review of the leadership and management culture and practices in a UK Search and Rescue Charity
Authors: MacAuley Andrew
Published: February 2024

West Mercia Search and Rescue (WMSAR) is a UK registered charity which provides a team of personnel to assist the emergency services with missing-person search and water rescue. It has no paid employees, and voluntary members must actively participate in fundraising, maintenance, logistics, training, operations, and administration. Its leaders are not specifically trained in people-management, business, or leadership by the charity, and must rely on any formal, informal, or instinctive leadership practices that they have developed externally to the charity. This review highlights the need for leaders to develop vision, values, and authenticity in their management of volunteers, but recognises that they are themselves volunteering. It explores motives for donating time and suggests leadership approaches which may be beneficial in terms of personal development for those leaders. The author acknowledges that the results of the surveys used to inform this report are not wholly reflective of the membership as responses were limited. Participation may have been affected by the method of dissemination (WhatsApp message to whole team), by the willingness of members to respond to the Chairman, by trust in the anonymity of the results, and by the bias of questions. A small number of contemporary leadership theories are presented, and the current leadership is examined against these by both anecdotal experience of the author and responses from the surveys. Recommendations are made where it is shown that there could be direct benefit from embracing one or more of the contemporary leadership theories and posed in the context of the charity. The aims of the recommendations are to inform WMSAR and similar voluntary bodies’ leadership on improvements, and outline a structure for better communication of vision, values and ultimately the next generations of leaders where the charity has a high turnover of volunteers. This will result in a reduced burden of handover, better teamwork, and sustainability for the charity. These recommendations may be applicable to other similar voluntary bodies.

Published: February 2024

Consumer decision or purchasing decision is a consumer's final decision in buying a product, both goods and services, after going through certain considerations. Price is very important in the consumer decision-making process because if the product is too expensive and exceeds the consumer's financial ability, it will reduce the target market. The results shows that the test for each variable has a Cronbach's alpha value greater than 0,700 which proves that the questions from all the variables in this study are all reliable and can be used in this research.

Developments in the human life sector have progressed rapidly today, paralleled by the continuous advancement of technology. This trend is expected to significantly elevate the demand for electricity as one of the primary requirements. Currently, power plants heavily rely on petroleum as their main fuel source for electricity generation, contributing to environmental unfriendliness. In response to this, renewable energy has emerged as a viable solution to reduce dependence on petroleum fuel. One notable example of renewable energy is solar power, harnessed through Solar Power Plants. Research has been conducted to develop a transistor-based solar power plant using the 2N3055 model, with three variations in the distance of the Fresnel lens: 5 cm, 10 cm, and 20 cm over 14 days. The research yielded the highest output power, with an average voltage value of 13.868 V and a current value of 0.000038 A recorded on the 13th day. The power value reached 0.0005199 W on a prototype with a lens distance of 5 cm on the 14th day of research. This phenomenon occurs during sunny environmental conditions, leading to the transistor producing higher voltage and current due to focused light. However, different lens distances can result in improper focusing of light or even prevent light from reaching the transistors altogether, causing suboptimal electricity production or no production. Therefore, the influence of different Fresnel lens distances affects the light focusing on the transistor, consequently impacting the overall power output value.
Application of the Savitzky-Golay filter in multi-spectral signal processing

Multi-spectral signals are the result of the interaction between electromagnetic energy and the test material, which is then displayed by the signal fluctuation pattern of the test material. Signal fluctuations are inaccuracies in the peak amplitude of a signal caused by noise in the data. This fluctuation pattern reflects the properties of the test material, especially in this case H2O. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to use the right filter to smooth the signal and reduce the noise in the data so that the fluctuation pattern obtained is clearer and more accurate. This research involves the segmentation of HF fluctuation patterns, followed by the application of a Savitzky-Golay filter for signal smoothing. Signal quality is assessed objectively by calculating the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE). The research results show that the Savitzky-Golay filter succeeded in reducing noise and producing clearer fluctuation patterns. The SNR value varies, with the largest value reaching 16.6146 dB, and the smallest value being 3.0171 dB. This research contributes to a new method, namely the Savitzky-Golay adaptive filter, to identify multi-spectral signal fluctuation patterns more effectively, thereby enabling more accurate identification of fluctuation patterns. Apart from that, this research also provides insight into the characteristics of H2O which can be identified through fluctuation patterns, especially in certain segments with high amplitude. This method has potential for applications in various fields, especially in precise multi-spectral signal analysis.
Splittings for $C^*$-correspondences and strong shift equivalence
Authors: Brix Kevin Aguyar , Mundey Alexander , Rennie Adam
Published: February 2024

We present an extension of the notion of in-splits from symbolic dynamics to topological graphs and, more generally, to $C^*$-correspondences. We demonstrate that in-splits provide examples of strong shift equivalences of $C^*$-correspondences. Furthermore, we provide a streamlined treatment of Muhly, Pask, and Tomforde's proof that any strong shift equivalence of regular $C^*$-correspondences induces a (gauge-equivariant) Morita equivalence between Cuntz-Pimsner algebras. For topological graphs, we prove that in-splits induce diagonal-preserving gauge-equivariant $*$-isomorphisms in analogy with the results for Cuntz-Krieger algebras. Additionally, we examine the notion of out-splits for $C^*$-correspondences.
